Tucker: Everything Biden said was false

good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight happy good friday if you can say that always a sort of mixed day and today was no different a radical black nationalist drove a car into two police officers near the capitol in washington this afternoon one of the officers was killed along with a suspect now it's interesting there's still much we don't know about this we know very little but this is one high-profile murder that didn't somehow set off an avalanche of hysterical media attacks on an entire racial group you didn't see stories about how all black people are bad or blackness is a virus and thank god that stuff is garbage it's poison all decent people hate it attacking entire races is evil no matter what the race is it's really hurting the country and the people in power should stop doing it today for once they didn't do it thank god for small blessings but that doesn't mean our leaders turned down the opportunity to leverage the tragedy of course they did ilhan omar immediately called for gun control even the assailant apparently didn't have a gun but just a knife she's not a genius as we've noted before then the usual experts told us the lesson was we need even more barbed wire around the capitol it's too open to the public they said to keep our democracy safe we must wall off voters from the leaders who supposedly represent them well that's already happening of course across the country both physically in the green zone-style barriers you suddenly see everywhere around government buildings and also on a far deeper level on a level that can't be undone as quickly as a fence in a democracy the people rule if voters want something done over time it happens that's what self-government is but what do you call a system in which all the major all the really important decisions are made by big companies without any reference at all to what voters want well that is not democracy it's corporatocracy and it's starting to look a lot like what we have now here's the latest example major league baseball announced today it's pulling two of the biggest events in sports the all-star game and the mlb draft out of the state of georgia why is major league baseball weighing in on this why is it doing it well because voters in the state of georgia made a decision that the biden administration doesn't like and as with so many big corporations major league baseball believes it now has veto power over the democratic process and by the way it may have veto power we'll find out in the case of georgia the state passed a law to reduce voter fraud that law requires voters to provide some form of identification before they cast a mail-in ballot that identification could be a driver's license or free state provided id georgia makes it pretty easy to prove who you are there's nothing crazy about this law in fact it's hard to believe it wasn't already on the books in georgia it should have been but when it was proposed it sailed through the state house georgia's house of representatives approved this bill by a 25-vote margin the state senate by a vote of 34-24 so unlike say obamacare it wasn't a squeaker and you can see why nationally the overwhelming majority of americans agree with it they support mandatory photo id for voting according to a recent poll by the ap fully 72 percent of people in this country believe that required ids are a good idea and why wouldn't they think that you already have to show an id when you fly in a plane or drive a car open a checking account hold a job live in an apartment or get a vaccine but you don't need one to vote come on it's ridiculous in fact it's worse than ridiculous it is sinister anyone who opposes voter id laws is encouraging voter fraud which is to say encouraging the destruction of democracy it's that simple and you can now put major league baseball in that category now baseball was supposed to be america's pastime happy unifying fundamentally non-political so it's strange to see this happen how do we get here it's not at all complicated we have a new president now and that president is willing to destroy even something as wholesome as the country's traditional game purely to increase the power of his political party just the other day joe biden went on espn to demand that professional sports franchises boycott any state whose voters step out of line i think today's professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly i would strongly support them doing that people look to them their leaders look at what's happened with the nba as well look what's happened across the board the very people who are victimized the most are the people who are the leaders in these in these various sports and it's just not right this is jim crow on steroids what they're doing in in georgia and 40 other states so that's the considered judgment expressed out loud by the president united states georgia's voter id law is jim crow on steroids asking people to show their identity before they vote is worse than segregation and lynching it's bull connor and fire hoses and snarling german shepherds on steroids you gotta wonder how long our leaders can keep saying things like this reckless things like this before they really cause the society to fall apart joe biden seems determined to find out one thing biden doesn't seem very interested in is his own home state delaware unlike georgia delaware has never permitted mass early voting apparently delaware is a white supremacist state about 80 percent of georgia voters cast their ballots early in last fall in delaware that number was 29 so why isn't that voter suppression why isn't it racism well because delaware is a one-party state controlled by the democrats it's working for them they're not going to change it georgia by contrast is a swing state so in the estimation of joe biden it is worth using racially divisive lies to win it for his party permanently according to joe biden the real problem with georgia's new election law is that it could cause dangerous dehydration what i'm worried about is how unamerican this whole initiative is it's sick it's sick deciding in some states that you cannot bring water to people standing in line waiting to vote deciding that you're going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work every word of that was false maybe the washington post will start a joe biden lie meter just kidding in fact the georgia law bans political organizations from bringing gifts to people who are standing in line to vote that's called electioneering it is banned in an awful lot of places probably where you live but there is no prohibition in georgia or anywhere else against people getting water and food in line if it comes from someone other than a political operative if it comes from a friend or family member for example and by the way they can also bring their own water hydrating is still legal in georgia as for the claim that this law will end voting at five o'clock that's a lie too wait a second joe biden just said that on tv so where did he get the idea voting ends at five o'clock well it turns out that the big paper in atlanta the atlanta journal constitution reported that the law would ban voting after five o'clock the paper's reporters apparently hadn't read the law they had to append this correction to their piece which effectively was the same as admitting they were repeating talking points without doing any research which is what they were doing here it is quote a previous version of this story said the new law would limit voting hours on election day in georgia polling places are open from 7 am to 7 pm and if you're in line by 7 pm you are allowed to cast your ballot nothing in the new law changes those rules end quote that's the truth finally appended to a lie now joe biden got his research on that bill from reporters who did no research see how that works today at the white house press briefing one reporter did ask an interesting question why is joe biden on television demanding a boycott of an american state while not demanding a boycott of china after all the biden administration just declared that china was committing genocide against ethnic minorities well joe biden's grumpy little flack wasn't happy about that question the president have voiced his support for mlb making a decision about the all-star game in georgia i'm wondering when can we expect a final determination from the president about the united states participating in the beijing olympics given that he said the chinese president doesn't have a democratic bone in his body well i think the u.s olympic committee would play a big role in on major league baseball here in the united states he actually didn't i i think i don't know if you heard the q the answer the question the answer that happened a few minutes ago where we addressed this and i answered the question so uh and i give a little more context but maybe you weren't paying attention to that part i'm not going to answer the question sentiment pretend that i already did and you didn't hear it because you're dumb it's your fault we look there's no answer no one at the white house explained why a law against voter fraud in georgia justifies a boycott but a genocide in china does not doesn't matter the domestic boycott against georgia grows anyway huge parts of corporate america have joined it they've decided that georgia is reinstating jim crow here's a great one coca-cola which is based in atlanta now tells us that georgia's anti-voter fraud law is unacceptable let me be crystal clear and unequivocal this legislation is unacceptable it is a step backwards and it does not promote principles we have stood for in georgia around broad access to voting around voter convenience about ensuring election integrity and this is this is frankly just a step backwards not clear how long the ceo of coca-cola has been in this country but just to restate just because you run a soft drink company doesn't mean you get to control our democracy he may not know that it's a step backward he told us which is pretty funny if you think about it so coca-cola is very very concerned about black people which makes you wonder since we're on the subject how many black people have died in the last hundred years from diabetes caused by coca-cola products we don't have those numbers someone ought to find out we bet money it's far more than the minneapolis police department has killed ever and here's the even funnier part china is one of coca-cola's biggest markets and that's why last year kurt ferguson is the president of coca-cola greater china and korea went out of his way to praise the communist party of china for unleashing the coronavirus on the world this is a verbatim quote thank you very much to the government with your quick decisive actions once again thank you you've really controlled a worldwide epidemic and should be very much congratulated for all your hard work may i kiss your feet may i slobber on you have a coke and a smile unbelievable but coca-cola wants you to believe that whatever's happening in china it really cares most about its type 2 diabetes victims here in the united states coca-cola hates discrimination okay so why isn't coca-cola saying anything about phil scott he's the governor of vermont he's a republican by the way this week governor scott declared that vermont would be passing out vaccines on the basis of skin color vermont wants to check your racial purity before they give you life-saving medicine well that doesn't seem like a good idea or legal or ethical or something that would ever happen in america is coca-cola okay with that apparently they are you can still get a diet coke at loonings in burlington great restaurant by the way coke hasn't said a word about it another has delta which despite being an airline and not a super pac has also decided to condemn georgia's elections bill according to the ceo of delta people in the black community are upset about the law so of course delta is very upset too this is about protecting the voices of our people when i when i speak to our people particularly within the black community we're here in atlanta we've got a very very large black employee base almost universally they are hurt by the the law and the legislation that was enacted and we need to make certain their voices are heard we spent a lot of time in the last year reaching out to those most vulnerable and telling them that we hear them that we see them that their voices matter and if we can't stand with them now when will we yeah so he's just reading something the hr department wrote for him but it doesn't seem like he's paused to think through the implications here so delta airlines operates because u.s taxpayers and the congress lawmakers or democracy allow delta ii can't just start an airline and run it you need the cooperation of the public but part of the deal is if you're delta airlines or some other big company benefiting from all the good things that america offers is you're not allowed to override the democracy just because you're rich you're not allowed to do that and if you do maybe we should punish you maybe we should delta says it's quote very large black employee base is almost universally hurt by the law really did you take a poll delta remarkably and this is amazing that's not what delta was saying about the very same law a few days ago before the biden administration leaned on them at the time delta issued a statement declaring quote the legislation improved considerably during the legislative process and expands weekend voting codifies sunday voting and protects a voter's ability to cast an absentee ballot without offering a reason delta even at the time praised the law's protections for ballot drop boxes quote for the first time drop boxes have also been authorized for all counties statewide and poll workers will be allowed to work across county lines okay before we even get into how they change their view again this is an airline why are they weighing in on a voting law who do you think you are delta airlines we should shut you down now delta has decided the law doesn't meet its standards requiring voter identification says delta is jim crow but wait a minute you might be wondering doesn't delta airlines require photo id in order to board its planes oh that sounds like jim crow why isn't that racist because it's not shut up one of the democratic party's top election law enforcers a trollish man called mark elias tried to answer that question on twitter quote the new georgia law will require voters to submit id to vote by mail he wrote if they use their driver's license they need to provide the number one of the two numbers below is correct if they put the other down it will be rejected are you sure you would pick the right one elias posted a photograph of a sample driver's license below his tweet and the implication is pretty clear according to marcoliz black people can't find their driver's license number even when it's clearly identified on the driver's license card mark elias like delta just doesn't think they can read it so who's the racist in the story seriously when you treat adults like children what does that say about how you feel about them
