>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT." WE OFTEN ACCUSE POLITICIANS OF DISHONESTY ON THE SHOW. LET US BOIL IT ON. NOTHING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ADVOCATES FOR HIS MORE DISHONEST THAN GUN CONTROL. EVERYTHING IS FALSE. MOST ACTUALLY AREN'T LIKE THAT. TRY TO BE HONEST ON THE SHOW. YOU CAN STILL SORT OF SEE WHAT THE OTHER SIDE IS TALKING ABOUT. HE DEEPLY DISLIKED TAXES, BUT YOU CAN STILL ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S UNFAIR TO CHARGE PEOPLE FOR THE SERVICES RECEIVED BY THE GOVERNMENT. OR YOU CAN HATE ABORTION AND WE DO. AND YOU CAN STILL UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU ARE BEING TOTALLY HONEST ABOUT IT, WHY A SCARED PREGNANT TEENAGER MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO HAVE ONE. BUT GUN CONTROL IS NOT LIKE THAT. GUN CONTROL IS ENTIRELY FRAUDULENT. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CLAIMS THAT GUNS CAUSE VIOLENCE. THAT IS A CORE CLAIM AND IT IS A LIE. THE PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE THE MOST GUNS AND THE LOOSEST CONTROLS ON THOSE GUNS ALSO HAVE THE LEAST GUN VIOLENCE. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. IT'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE TO ANYONE. ANYONE WHO TRIES TO RESTRICT TO ILLEGALLY OWN FIREARMS IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE AMERICA SAFER. THE POINT IS TO DISARM YOU, TO STRIP YOU OF YOUR AUTONOMY ON YOUR RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE. GUN CONTROL IS NOT ABOUT GUNS. GUN CONTROL IS ABOUT WHO CONTROLS AMERICA. IS THAT THE POPULATION AS IN A DEMOCRACY MR. MARK ORDERS ALL CONTROL GO TO A SMALL GROUP OF AUTHORITARIANS AS IN AN OLIGARCHY? THOSE ARE THE STAKES IN THE GUN CONTROL DEBATE. IT'S NOT ABOUT GUNS. IT'S ABOUT WHO RUNS THE COUNTRY. SO, WITH THAT IN MIND, JOE BIDEN'S SPEECH TODAY CALLING FOR MORE GUN CONTROL SHOULD MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. ALMOST NOTHING BIDEN SAID WAS TRUE. HERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS TO GIVE YOU A FLAVOR. BIDEN CLAIMED THAT FIREARMS PURCHASED AT GUN SHOWS ARE EXEMPT FROM BACKGROUND CHECKS. THAT'S A LIE. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN TO A GUN SHOW CAN SHOW YOU. JOE BIDEN CLAIMS THAT GUN MANUFACTURERS HAVE TOTAL IMMUNITY AGAINST LAWSUITS. THAT IS ALSO A LIE. GUN MANUFACTURERS GET SUED ALL THE TIME. ASK THEM. SO, IS THE SPEECH AIMING TO MISLEAD RATHER THAN INFORMED? JOE BIDEN WANTED TO REMIND YOU THAT THOSE RIGHTS ARE NOT REALLY THE FIRST PLACE. THEY ARE NOT COME AS HE PUT IT, ABSOLUTE. >> NOTHING I AM ABOUT TO RECOMMEND IN ANY WAY IMPINGES ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT. PHONY ARGUMENTS SUGGESTING THAT THESE ARE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AT STAKE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. BUT NO AMENDMENT, NO AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS ABSOLUTE. >> Tucker: YOU HEARD THE SIRENS IN THE BACKGROUND RESPONDING TO THE SKYROCKETING CRIME RATE IN THE CITY IT RESIDES OVER. BUT THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. THAT'S THE PROMISE IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. BUT ACCORDING TO JOE BIDEN, IT'S STILL NOT AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT DESPITE WHAT THE TEXT SAYS. NO, THAT RIGHT IS SUBJECT TO HIS APPROVAL AND HIS INTERPRETATION. JOE BIDEN'S IN CHARGE OF THE CONSTITUTION NOW. JOE BIDEN DEFINES ITS TERMS. AND JOE BIDEN HAS DECIDED TO SOMETHING CALLED STABILIZING CAN NO LONGER BE ALLOWED. IT IS USED BY TARGET SHOOTERS TO HOLD HEAVY FIREARMS. THEY PLAY ZERO ROLE IN THE MURDER THE MURDER EPIDEMIC NOW UNDERWAY IN OUR CITIES. THE WISE JOE BIDEN BANNING THEM WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF CONGRESS? PROBABLY BECAUSE UP TO 40 MILLION LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS OWN THIS DEVICE AND UNDER THI ORDER, JOE BIDEN'S ORDER, EVERYONE OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE TO ALERT FEDERAL AUTHORITIES AND PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN FINES FOR THE CRIME OF OWNING A HARMLESS PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT WAS LEGAL YESTERDAY. AND IF THEY DON'T COMPLY, JOE BIDEN'S FEDERAL AUTHORITIES CAN THEN DRAG THEM OFF IN HANDCUFFS, USE THE PROPERTY, AND CHARGE THEM WITH A FELONY. SO WITH A SINGLE STROKE OF A PEN, JOE BIDEN JUST TURNED TENS OF MILLIONS OF OVERWHELMINGLY REPUBLICAN VOTERS INTO CRIMINALS. IS THE STARTING TO MAKE SENSE NOW? THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS SO FOCUSED ON WHAT THEY CALL WEAPONS OF WAR. YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM AS A SEMIAUTOMATIC SMALL CALIBER SPORTING RIFLES THAT NORMAL PEOPLE USED FOR HUNTING AND TARGET SHOOTING AND HOME DEFENSE. HERE'S THE THING THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. AND AGAIN, DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. LOOK IT UP. NO SUBJECT IS MORE CAREFULLY CATALOGUED THAN GUNS. GUNS LIKE THE SCUM OF THE SO-CALLED WEAPONS OF WAR PLAY NO MEANINGFUL ROLE IN CRIME. VIRTUALLY ALL GUN OWNERS HAVE A HANDGUN. A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AGAIN, PROVABLE, A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE VIOLENCE AND THEY USE A SMALL NUMBER OF WEAPONS TO COMMIT IT. HERE ARE THE NUMBERS. ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT DATA FROM THE FBI, FIREARMS WERE INVOLVED IN A TOTAL OF 10,258 HOMICIDES IN 2019, THE LAST DATE AVAILABLE. FEWER THAN 500 WERE COMMITTED WITH RIFLES INCLUDING WEAPONS OF WAR. SO, CRIMINALS DON'T USE RIFLES. THEY ARE NOT CONCEALABLE. MAYBE THAT'S WHY. IN FACT, MORE PEOPLE WERE MURDERED WITH KNIVES THAN WITH RIFLES. SO, IF YOU ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT MAKING THE COUNTRY SAFER COMIC KEEPING PEOPLE FROM GETTING MURDERED, YOU WOULD TARGET HANDGUNS IN BIG CITIES. THAT IS WHERE THE MURDERS ARE. THAT IS WHERE THE VIOLENCE IS. BUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS DOING THE OPPOSITE OF THIS. THE MIRROR IMAGE OF THIS. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS LETTING BIG-CITY CRIMINALS GO. PEOPLE WHO USE GUNS FOR VIOLENCE ARE WALKING OUT OF JAIL. INSTEAD, THE BIDEN DEMONSTRATION IS USING, YOU SAW IT TODAY, THE FULL FORCE OF GOVERNMENT TO DISARM PEACEFUL VOTERS AND ZIP CODE VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. TODAY, BIDEN ANNOUNCED THAT HE WANTS TO BAN WHAT HE CALLS "ASSAULT WEAPONS." HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT THEY ARE 15, WHICH OF THE SINGLE MOST POPULAR SPORTING RIFLE IN AMERICA. SO, THE POINT IS IF THEY BAN SO-CALLED ASSAULT WEAPONS, WITH THE COUNTRY BECOME SAFER? THAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS. WE DON'T NEED TO GET TO THE ANSWER BECAUSE WE HAVE TRIED THIS BEFORE. UNDER BILL CLINTON, FOR TEN FULL YEARS, HE BANNED ASSAULT RIFLES. AND THAT MY LAW, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAW THE EFFECT. SO WE KNOW THE EFFECT. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP IF YOU WANT. IT DIDN'T WORK. ONCE THAT BAN EXPIRED IN 2004, GUN HOMICIDES FELL IN ALMOST EVERY MAJOR CITY. SO, POLICIES LIKE THIS ONE ARE UNHINGED FROM REALITY TO PUT IT GENTLY. SO, TO ENFORCE THEM, JOE BIDEN HAS NOMINATED A MAN WHO IS UNHINGED FROM REALITY. HIS NAME IS DAVID CHIPMAN HE WILL NOW RUN TOBACCO AND FIRE ALARMS. AN AGENCY THAT JOE BIDEN REFERRED TO AS AFC. >> TODAY AM PROUD TO NOMINATE DAVID CHIPMAN TO SERVE AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE AFT. DAVID KNOWS AFT WELL. >> Tucker: [LAUGHS] DAVID KNOWS AFT WELL. HILARIOUS. IF YOU ARE JOE BIDEN, AFT IS THE TEACHERS UNION. SO, WHO IS DAVID CHIPMAN? WELL, HE IS A CONSPIRACY NUT. HE CLAIMS THAT IT SHOT DOWN HELICOPTERS DURING A WACO SIEGE IN 1993. NO, IT DIDN'T. NO ONE WAS SHOT OR INJURED THAT DAY. THE HELICOPTERS DO NOT CRASH. THAT IS A BIZARRE CLAIM TO ME FOR SOMEONE WHO IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE CASE, AS DAVID CHIPMAN WAS. BUT IT'S WORSE THAN THAT. IN 1993, THE ATF KILLED DOZENS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN AND AT LEAST ONE PREGNANT WOMAN FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON. IT IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THAT FEDERAL AGENTS HAVE EVER DONE IN THIS COUNTRY. SO IF YOU ARE TAKING OVER THE ATF, MAYBE YOU COULD APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. BUT NO, HE LIED ABOUT IT AND THEN -- ATTACKING THE VICTIMS FORGETTING SYPHILIS. IT WAS NOT EVIDENCE OF A GENEROUS SPIRIT. IT WAS EVIDENCE OF ZEALOUS. THIS IS THE MAN THAT JOE BIDEN HAS NOMINATED TO LEAD ATF. BUT IT GETS WORSE THING ON THAT. HE SUGGESTED THAT PEOPLE WHO FAILED BACKGROUND CHECKS SHOULD BE ARRESTED ON THE SPOT. WHILE AT ATF, I CONDUCTED STUDIES INVOLVING PEOPLE WHO CONDUCTED -- THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO ARREST PEOPLE BEFORE COMMITTING CRIMES RATHER THAN RESPONDING AFTER THE FACT. ARREST PEOPLE BEFORE THEY COMMIT CRIMES. THAT IS A BRAND-NEW CONCEPT IN AMERICAN LAW, THAT THE CHINESE ARE HIGHLY FAMILIAR WITH. BUT THE SUGGESTION DOES RAISE A POINT TO THE JOE BIDEN FAMILY. HE JUST APPOINTED A GUY WHO THINKS THAT PEOPLE RELY ON FEDERAL BACKGROUND CHECKS SHOULD GO TO PRISON. DO YOU KNOW ANY? HE LIED ON A FEDERAL BACKGROUND CHECK. THAT IS NOT SPECULATION. HE DID. WE HAVE SEEN THE FORM. SO THE QUESTION IS, WILL HE ARREST THE PRESIDENT'S SON? AND IF HE DOESN'T ARREST THE PRESIDENT'S SON, THE QUESTION IS HOW EXACTLY ARE YOU OBLIGATED TO FOLLOW THESE RULES? HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE IN A SYSTEM LIKE THAT? AGAIN, SINCERE QUESTION. THEY SHOULD EXPLAIN. WE SHOULD NOTE THAT DAVID CHIPMAN HAS SAID A LOT OF OTHER THINGS ON THE INTERNET THAT HASN'T WANT YOU TO SEE. HE BLOCKED HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT SO THAT NOBODY CAN READ IT. THE DAILY WIRE FOUND AN ARCHIVE VERSION. THEY FOUND THAT DAVID CHIPMAN HAS DELETED AT LEAST A THOUSAND TWEETS IN RECENT DAYS AND WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE ABOUT WHAT HE SAID. WE DO KNOW THAT WHAT HE SAID PUBLICLY TELLS US ALL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOW HE GOT THIS JOB. IN OCTOBER 2018, FOR EXAMPLE, DAVID CHIPMAN TOLD THE HILL THAT AR-15s IT SHOULD BE TREATED "JUST LIKE MACHINE GUNS." WELL, MACHINE GUNS ARE BANNED IN THIS COUNTRY. HE BELIEVES THE SINGLE MOST POPULAR RENTAL IN AMERICA SHOULD BE BANNED. HE MADE THAT REMARK IN THE PAST. IN 2012, HE SUGGESTED TO MSNBC THAT THE SECRET SERVICE SHOULD NOT CARRY FIREARMS AND LAST YEAR, DAVID CHIPMAN OPENLY MOCKED MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO WERE BUYING TO PROTECT THEIR FAMILIES FROM THE CRIME WAVE THAT HIS PARTY HAS UNLEASHED ON THE COUNTRY. >> THEY MAY THINK THAT THEY ARE DIEHARD, READY TO GO, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE PUTTING THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES AND DANGERS. BUT I WOULD SUGGEST IS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE FIRST-TIME GUN OWNERS, THAT THEY DID GO OUT AND BUY A GUN, I WOULD SECURE THAT GUN LOCKED AND HIDE IT BEHIND THE CANS OF BEEF JERKY STORED IN THE CABINET AND ONLY BRING THAT OUT IF THE ZOMBIES START TO APPEAR. AND I DON'T THINK THEY ARE. >> Tucker: IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A REMARK THAT IS MORE INFERIOR RATING THAN THAT ONE. IF YOU BROUGHT DOWN MIKE BOUGHT A GUN TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY, YOUR BUSINESS, YOUR HOME DURINGT THESE PEOPLE UNLEASHED ON THE COUNTRY, A CONSPIRACY NOT RUNNING THE ATF CALLS YOU CRAZY, THAT IS WHY IF YOU MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING A HANDGUN WITH A MAGAZINE THAT HOLDS MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS, IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU OWN ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR GUNS IN AMERICA, YOU WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO SURRENDER TO THAT GUY. >> HIGH-CAPACITY MEANS, WHAT KIND OF NUMBERS I WAS TALKING ABOUT? >> YEAH, SO I THINK THE CONSENSUS HAS BEEN AROUND 10. AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS WHY -- >> 10 AND ABOVE WOULD BE HIGH CUSTOMER >> YEAH, LET'S SAY 10 AND BELOW WOULD BE REASO. ABOVE WOULD BE REGULATED. >> Tucker: SO, THIS RAISES A LOT OF QUESTIONS. WHY IS DAVID CHIPMAN ALLOWED TO DECIDE HOW MANY ROLLOUT? IS HE IN CHARGE OF PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY? DOES HE LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? ARE YOUR CHILDREN HIS RESPONSIBILITY? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. BUT WORSE THAN THAT, IT'S NOT REAL. PEOPLE LIKE DAVID CHIPMAN ART OPPOSED TO GUN VIOLENCE. IN FACT, PEOPLE LIKE DAVID CHIPMAN AND HIS PARTY CERTAINLY ARE MAKING GUN VIOLENCE POSSIBLE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE COULD GIVE YOU MANY EXAMPLES WE HAVE FOR YEARS PEER HERE IS A NEW ONE. IN WASHINGTON, THE CITY IS PLANNING TO STOP ENFORCING GUN LAWS. REALLY? THE PARTY THAT THINKS GUNS CAUSE VIOLENCE IS NO LONGER PULLING THEM OFF THE STREETS. HE JUST SENT A MEMO ANNOUNCING "NO LONGER ARE WE FOCUSED ON GETTING GUNS." ARE THEY TELLING YOU THAT YOUR GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM? NOT A CRIMINAL'S GUN. YOUR GUNS. BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CRIMINAL NOW. MEANWHILE, IN CHICAGO WHERE A 20-MONTH-OLD CHILD WAS JUST SHOT ON THE STREET LAST MONTH, MAYOR HAS DECIDED THAT NOT ALL GUNS NEED TO BE REMOVED. ACCORDING TO LORI LIGHTFOOT, IT IS "MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS FROM OTHER STATES." >> TUESDAY, LITTLE KAYDEN WAS SHOT ON LAKESHORE DRIVE. 18 OTHERS WERE SHOT. 5 OF THEM DIED. WEDNESDAY, MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT SAID PART OF THE CRIME ISSUE IS GUN CONTROL. >> IF YOU CAN GO OVER TO THE BORDER AND LITERALLY BUY MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS AT ANY QUANTITY. >> NUMBER SHOW THAT CRIME IS UP. AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR, THERE WERE 521 PEOPLE SHOT. NOW THAT NUMBER 743. >> Tucker: THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TOPICS THAT IS HARD TO DO ON TV. BECAUSE IN ABOUT AN HOUR, YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS TOPIC. ACTUAL FACTS ABOUT THIS TOPIC THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON MAKING THE POLICY. EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS UNTRUE AND PROVABLY SO. THERE IS NO ISSUE WHICH THEY MINED MORE THAN THIS ONE. LORI LIGHTFOOT, THE ONE THAT YOU JUST SAW. CHICAGO'S OWN DATA PROVES IT. ACCORDING TO CHICAGO POLICE IN 2018, 2019, AUTHORITIES ENCOUNTERED A GRAND TOTAL OF -- 4 PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE CITY WITH RIFLES. THAT'S IT. AND THAT IS WHAT LORI LIGHTFOOT IS FOCUSED ON. IN THAT SAME PERIOD, THEY ENCOUNTERED 44 PEOPLE WITH REVOLVERS. 32 PEOPLE WIELDING THEIR FEET IN A VIOLENT MANNER. AND THE REST, OF COURSE WERE SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUNS. THAT'S ALL THE MURDERS AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. RIFLES ARE NOT A REAL THREAT IN CHICAGO AND HAVEN'T BEEN FOR A LONG TIME, IF EVER. BETWEEN 2013 AND 2016, JUST 4.8% OF GUNS WERE COVERED BY THE CHICAGO POLICE PEERED 4.8%. THE MOST RECENT MURDER REPORT FROM CHICAGO WAS FROM ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2011. BUT ACCORDING TO THAT REPORT, JUST ONE RIFLE WAS USED IN A HOMICIDE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. ONE. AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY. WHY? BECAUSE YOU OWN IT, NOT THE CRIMINALS. IN THE DECADES THAT FOLLOW, KIM FOX TOOK OVER IN CHICAGO AND DURING HER TENURE, PROSECUTORS STARTED DROPPING CASES FOR SERIOUS GUN CRIMES. NOT ACCIDENTALLY BUT AS A MATTER OF POLICY. RECKLESS DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM, AGGRAVATED DISCHARGE, SERIOUS CRIMES INVOLVING GUNS. THEY DROPPED THE CHARGES. THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT GUN CRIMES. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOU PROTECTING YOURSELF. ACROSS THE COUNTRY. CRIMINALS WHO COMMIT VIOLENT CRIMES ARE GOING FREE. MEANWHILE, YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE. YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG. BUT SUDDENLY YOU ARE A FELON FOR TRYING TO DEFEND YOUR HOME. YOU CAN SEE WHAT
95% of all mass shooters are democrats. 76 out of 98 mass shooters in 2019 WERE NOT caucasions. WASSUP with that? I guess the new ATF leadership will sort this out.
