7:00. TUCKER CARLSON IS UP NEXT. ♪ ♪ >> Tucker: GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT." HAPPY TUESDAY. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK ABOUT A YEAR AND A FEW MONTHS TODAY THE DAY AMERICA CHANGED. THIS REALLY WAS THE PIVOT POINT. IT WAS THE HEIGHT OF THE YEAR AT BLM RIOTS EARLY LAST SUMMER AND RIOTERS IN MINNEAPOLIS HAD JUST TORCHED A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT BUILDINGS AND STANDING IN FRONT OF THEM WAS AN MSNBC REPORTER WHO WAS BROADCASTING LIVE FROM THE SCENE. THE MOB BEGAN BY TORCHING SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, INCLUDING A LIQUOR STORE THEY LOOTED FIRST, NATURALLY. THAN IS THE RIOTING ACCELERATED, THEY WALKED DOWN STREET, BURNED ON THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE STATION. AS YOU SAW THAT HAPPEN YOU REALIZE THIS WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE. WE HAVE SEEN RIOTS BEFORE IN 1992, THE RODNEY KING VERDICT, RIOTERS IN LOS ANGELES TORCHED A LOT OF THE MIDDLE OF THAT CITY, BUT THEY DID NOT BURN ANY POLICE STATIONS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BURN A POLICE STATION BECAUSE THERE ARE POLICE THERE AND THEY ARE ARMED AND THEY REPRESENT THE LAW, THEY ENFORCE THE LAW, SO YOU CANNOT BRING ON POLICE STATIONS. IF THEY LET YOU DO THAT, YOU KNOW THE WHOLE SYSTEM -- GO BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, JUST DAYS LAST SUMMER. THE IMPLICATION OF THAT WAS VERY CLEAR, THIS IS WHY WE DO NOT ALLOW POLICE STATIONS TO GET BURNED. THE MESSAGE IT SENDS IS THEY CAN'T PROTECT YOU, THEY CAN'T EVEN PROTECT THEMSELVES. SO THE POLICE ARE NOT IN CHARGE, LEGITIMATE -- OF THE MOB IS NOW IN CHARGE. SO AS THAT IS HAPPENING, THAT HAPPENS TO BECOME AS NOTED, REPORTERS STANDING RIGHT THERE WITH A MICROPHONE AND CAMERA TAKING PICTURES DIRECTLY INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM. THAT REPORTER WAS -- HE IS FAMOUSLY NOT SUPER BRIGHT, BUT HE WAS ON THE SCENE! WATCH HOW HE DESCRIBED WHAT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT BEHIND HIM. >> THERE IS NO ABILITY TO BRING ANYBODY IN HERE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR AND HOW I CHARACTERIZE THIS. THIS IS A PROTEST. IT IS NOT, GENERALLY SPEAKING, UNRULY. >> Tucker: [LAUGHS] YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT A HUNDRED TIMES, WATCH IT EVERY MORNING JUST FOR EDIFICATION. IT IS MOSTLY A PROTEST, HE SAID, FLAMES IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS GENERALLY SPEAKING ON UNRULY. STANDING IN FRONT OF A BURNING BUILDING. SO THAT TAPE, AS WE JUST SAID, IS VERY FAMOUS, AND IT A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT AND SAY THAT REPORTER IS A, WHICH OF COURSE IS TRUE. HE COULDN'T EVEN DESCRIBE WHAT HE WAS SEEING ACCURATELY. WHAT A GAFFE. IT WAS NOT A GAFFE, IT WAS NOT TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. IT WAS MSNBC'S EXPLICIT EDITORIAL POLICY TO LIE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING, TO CHARACTERIZE VIOLENT RIOTS AS PEACEFUL PROTESTS, AND IT WAS NOT JUST ALI VELSHI, LATER THAT VERY DAY, ANOTHER EXPLAINED, WE ARE QUOTING, "THIS WILL GUIDE OUR REPORTING." THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND IN MINNEAPOLIS IS FUMING AND THAT HAS BEEN VIOLENCE, IT IS MOST ACCURATE AT THIS TIME TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE IS PROTESTS. NOT RIOTS. [LAUGHS] PAGING DR. ORWELL. THEY ARE NOT RIOTS. THE ONE THING THEY ARE NOT, THEY ARE NOT RIOTS, NOT AT ALL. MSNBC WAS NOT AN OUTLIER IN ADOPTING THIS POLICY, THE REALITY DENIAL. CNN'S COVERAGE. >> AND LET'S NOT FORGET, IF ANYONE IS JUDGING THIS, I AM NOT JUDGING THIS, I AM JUST WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON? OUR COUNTRY WAS STARTED BECAUSE -- THE BOSTON TEA PARTY. RIOTING. SO DO NOT GET IT TWISTED AND THINK THAT OH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND THIS IS SO TERRIBLE AND WHERE ARE WE AND THESE SAVAGES AND ALL THAT, THIS IS HOW THIS COUNTRY WAS STARTED. >> Tucker: YEAH, THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL, WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH US FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. SAM ADAMS HIMSELF TORCHED A WENDY'S AND LOOTED A LIQUOR STORE BEFORE BURNING DOWN THE POLICE STATION IN DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS, THAT'S HOW THIS COUNTRY STARTED. WE ALWAYS HAD RIOTS AND LOOTING, VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY. IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL. SO YOUR JOB AS A VIEWER, PER CNN, MSNBC, "THE NEW YORK TIMES," THE ATLANTIC, "THE WASHINGTON POST" COME ALL THE REST OF THEM, WAS S JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE IN THE WAY THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, AND ACCEPT IT. MY COUNTRY YOUR ANCESTORS BUILT IS ON FIRE, BUT SHOT UP BECAUSE YOUR ANCESTORS ALSO BURNED IT DOWN. NOW THAT'S NOT TRUE. IN FACT, IT IS GROTESQUELY UNTRUE AND YET TO BE HISTORICALLY ILLITERATE TO BELIEVE IT, BUT IT WORKED, AS PROPAGANDA DOES AND THAT IS WHY THEY DO IT. SO INSTEAD OF PUSHING BACK AGAINST THIS RIOTING, MOST AMERICANS KIND OF WENT ALONG WITH IT. WELL, IT DOESN'T LOOK QUITE RIGHT TO ME BUT THIS IS HOW OUR COUNTRY STARTED. THAT IS WHAT DON LEMON SAID. IN OTHER WORDS, AS YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE DECLINES, YOU ARE INSTRUCTED NOT TO NOTICE. THIS TREND HAS CONTINUED. "THE WASHINGTON POST" JUST WENT RAN THIS HEADLINE AND WE ARE QUOTING, "DON'T RANT ABOUT SHORT-STAFFED STORES AND SUPPLY CHAIN WOES," RATHER THAN "LIVING CONSTANTLY ON THE VERGE OF THROWING FITS, WE DO OURSELVES A FAVOR BY CONSCIOUSLY LOWERING EXPECTATIONS." GOT THAT? SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FACT THE SHELVES ARE BARE IN YOUR LOCAL STORES, DON'T THROW A FIT, DON'T BE AN ENTITLED LITTLE TOOL, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT IN AMERICA? COME ON. REDLINES. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD BREAD LINES. IS CHARMINGLY RETRO, THESE BREAD LINES. DON'T COMPLAIN. AS YOUR LIFE BECOMES WORSE AND AS YOUR COUNTRY DEGRADES. THAT IS THE MESSAGE, NOT SURPRISINGLY, THAT MESSAGE IS COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING YOUR LIFE WORSE AND DESTROY THE COUNTRY, THAT OF COURSE WOULD BE THE WHITE HOUSE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THIS PERSONALLY, NOT SOME MOCK-UP OF A GENDER STUDIES STUDENTS. TODAY SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS, LIKE OUR PORTS ARE SHUT DOWN, WHAT DO WE DO? WATCH AS SHE MARKS THE REPORTER'S QUESTION, HOW DARE YOU ASK? WATCH THIS. >> JUST A QUESTION ON THIS, ON THE SUPPLY CHAINS ISSUE -- >> YEAH. >> ACTIONS THE PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN P.R. BUT IT WAS CLEAR IN MARCH OF 2020, WHEN COVID HIT, SUPPLY CHAINS ACROSS THE WORLD HAS BEEN DISRUPTED, EVEN AS SORT OF THE FIGHT BACK AGAINST COVID PROCEEDED. IT WAS QUICKLY CONCLUDED THINGS ARE NOT IMPROVING ON SUPPLY CHAINS, PEOPLE CANNOT GET DISHWASHERS AND FURNITURE'S AND TREADMILLS DELIVERED ON TIME, NL SORTS OF OTHER THINGS, SO WHY N- >> OF THE TRAGEDY OF THE TREADMILL DELAYED. >> BUT THE SERIOUS POINT IS WHY DIDN'T THE PRESIDENT TO ACT SOONER, IN A MORE AGGRESSIVE WAY? >> Tucker: YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT HAVING A TREADMILL? SETTLE DOWN, KAREN! WHAT, DO YOU WANT TO EXERCISE? YOU HAVE NETFLIX AND WEED, SHUT UP, GET BACK TO YOUR QUEUE, BE HAPPY, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS. AND IF YOU DO OUTSIDE, IF YOU NOTICE THE WALGREENS' FOR EXAMPLE CLOSED, AND SO IS THE CVS, BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THERE HAS BEEN STOLEN BY THIEVES WHO HAVE NOW REDEFINED CIVIL RIGHTS PROTESTERS, STOP COMPLAINING, KAREN. SAN FRANCISCO HAS VERY FEW WALGREENS OR CVSS OR STORES LIKE THAT LEFT BECAUSE THEY'VE ALL BEEN LOOTED. BY CIVIL RIGHTS PROTESTERS. BUT THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO. IN FACT, AS JIM EXPLAINS IN THIS AMAZING PIECE OF TAPE, IT IS WALGREENS FAULT. >> ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, THEY MADE THEIR DECISION. WE HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH THEM IN ORDER TO ENSURE WE ARE COVERED IN TERMS OF HAVING PHARMACIES ALL ACROSS THE CITY. THIS IS GOING TO OF COURSE IN FACT A LOT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT I WOULDN'T SAY -- GO AS FAR AS TO SAY THEY CAN'T DO BUSINESS. THEY STILL HAVE A LOT OF STORES, EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK FROM ALMOST EVERY CORNER, YOU WILL SEE A WALGREENS, AND SOME OF THESE STORES ARE NOT JUST CLOSING BECAUSE OF RETAIL DEATH, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY BRINGING IN THE SALES THEY WANT TO BE OR IF I DON'T WANT TO ATTRIBUTE THAT COMPLETELY TO JUST RETAIL THEFT. >> Tucker: IF YOU ELECT A MAYOR THAT DOM, THEN YOU KIND OF DESERVE WHAT YOU GET. THE TRUTH IS NOT EVERYONE IN SAN FRANCISCO VOTED FOR LONDON BREED, DESPITE HER ALLURING NAME. THEY DON'T DESERVE THIS. THE TRUTH IS YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE DAILY LOOTING IN AMERICAN CITIES BECAUSE IT IS A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY. THIS IS NOT SOME THIRD WORLD HELL HALL, THIS IS THE COUNTRY OUR ANCESTORS BUILT, A GREAT COUNTRY, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO STEAL, OKAY, PERIOD. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN STEAL AND OUR LEADERS ARE TELLING YOU YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO STEAL, IT IS OKAY. YOU BRING YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL AND OH, WAIT A SECOND, THERE ARE JUNKIES LIVING IN TENTS RIGHT ACROSS FROM YOUR KIDS SCHOOL. BUT THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE, TOO. THEY WERE THERE WHEN YOU WERE A KID, YOU JUST NEVER NOTICED. READJUST YOUR EXPECTATIONS. SETTLE DOWN, KAREN. HERE IS SEATTLE'S MAYOR JENNY DURKAN SAYING THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE JUNKIES LIVING IN TENTS RIGHT NEXT TO THEIR SCHOOLS. HERE IS A LOCAL NEWS REPORT FROM SEATTLE. >> BROADVIEW THOMPSON IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL COME UP ITS PROPERTY INCLUDES THIS GREEN BELT, WAS TAKEN OVER BY DOZENS F HOMELESS THAT NEIGHBORS THEY ARE BRINGING EVEN MORE PROBLEMS. >> THIS MORNING IN MY GARDEN, I FOUND AN EMPTY PACKET THAT HAD DRUGS IN IT. >> DESPITE OUTRAGE FROM PARENTS AND NEIGHBORS, TWO SEATTLE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ARE REFUSING TO LET THE ENCAMPMENT BEING CLEARED. CLAIMING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL PROPERTY IS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND OFF-LIMITS WITHOUT AN INVITATION. >> Tucker: YEAH, THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T DO IS EXPEL THE JUNKIES. NOT THE HOMELESS. HOMELESS MAKES IT SOUND LIKE A PROTECTED CLASS, THEY ARE JUNKIES COME UP SHOOTING UP, BREAKING INTO CARS TO SUPPORT THEIR HABIT, SELLING THEMSELVES, ON WOMEN, THEY ARE JUNKIES, OKAY? AND THEY ARE ON YOUR KIDS SCHOOL LAWN. BUT WE CAN'T INTERVENE IN THAT BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY. JUST LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS, KAREN. IN NEW YORK CITY, POLICE HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO NOT INTERVENE WHEN THEY SEE JUNKIES SHOOTING UP ON THE SIDEWALK OR IN A PARK. CAN GET IN THE WAY. AND YOU SHOULDN'T BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD JUNKIES IN OUR PARKS. SAM ADAMS WAS ACTUALLY SMOKING METH ON THE BOSTON COMMON ONCE UPON A TIME. IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE METRO BASICALLY SHUT DOWN UNTIL 60% OF ITS TRAIN CARS -- THE COMMUTERS HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE THE TRAIN SERVICE IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. JUST LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS. IN FACT, THEY ARE LUCKY. IN PHILADELPHIA LAST WEEK FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE ON A TRAIN, AND I GOT ON A TRAIN, THEN THEY GOT TO WALK AS A MAN TO MAN'S B-29ED A WOMAN ON THE TRAIN FOR MINUTES. WITNESSES DESCRIBE WHAT THEY SAW -- HERE IS PART OF IT. >> IN UPPER DARBY, 69TH STREET STATION, PASSENGERS OF THE LINE ARE OUTRAGED. >> THE ATTACK WAS BRUTAL, IT WAS WICKED, AND THE WORST PART, PEOPLE WERE WATCHING. >> SEVERAL PEOPLE WATCHING, THE DARBY SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE ARRESTED 35-YEAR-OLD FISHED ANNOYED, WHO INVESTIGATORS SAY IS SEEN ON A TRAIN SECURITY CAMERA, SITTING NEXT TO THE ALLEGED VICTIM, TOUCHING HER, AND THEN RAPING HER. A FEMALE EMPLOYEE STEPPED IN, CALLED IN THE ATTACK, WHICH WAS RELAYED ON RADIO ABOUT THE ATTACKER DISROBING ON A TRAIN AT 56TH STREET STATION. HE WAS ARRESTED AT 69TH STREET STATION ON THE TRAIN, IN THE ACT. >> Tucker: THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE WAY AMERICA WORKS. REMEMBER -- SHE WAS KILLED. THE DIFFERENCE, THOUGH, WE WERE SHOCKED BY THAT. 35 YEARS AGO, WHEN SHE DIED. IN THIS CASE, PASSENGERS WATCH THIS WOMAN GETS B-29ED BUT THEY WERE ON THEIR PHONE. THEY WERE ONLINE GAMING. THE POLICE CHIEF OF PHILADELPHIA'S TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY SO NOBODY WHO SAW IT DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. >> I CAN TELL YOU PEOPLE WERE HOLDING THEIR PHONE UP IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS WOMAN BEING ATTACKED. >> Tucker: AND BY ATTACKED, TO BE TOTALLY CLEAR AND I HATE TO USE THE WORD, IT IS THE RIGHT WORD, SHE WAS RAPED IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE AND THEY DID NOTHING. SO HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT ROOT CAUSES, WHAT WERE THE ROOT CAUSES OF THIS RAPE. A35-YEAR-OLD CONGOLESE MAN WHO APPARENTLY RAPED THIS WOMAN, HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, ON AND OVERSTATE STUDENT VISA AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPORTED. THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE, AND THE ONLY REASON HE WAS HIS BECAUSE HE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE HIM HAVE BEEN INVITED HERE BY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY WHO DON'T RIDE THE TRAIN. THIS PARTICULAR MAN CAME TO THE UNITED STATE IN 2012 ON A STUDENT VISA. THAT VISA ENDED IN 2015 BECAUSE HE WAS NO LONGER A STUDENT. COURT RECORDS SHOW HE RACKED UP MULTIPLE -- OKAY, SO HERE IS SOMEONE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, WHO IS CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ABUSE AND DRUGS, BUT HE IS STILL HERE? SO WHY AREN'T THE PEOPLE WHO ALLOWED HIM TO REMAIN HERE IN JAIL THEMSELVES? THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. THIS GUY WAS PUT IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION BACK IN JANUARY 2018 BUT NEVER GOT DEPORTED BECAUSE THE IMMIGRATION LEGAL SYSTEM DECIDED HE SHOULD RECEIVE A SPECIAL STAY OF REMOVAL. SO HE GOT WHAT IS CALLED A WITHHOLDING OF REMOVAL FROM AN S AGO, BACK IN 2019. ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, THAT DECISION CAME AFTER "THE BOARD OF IMMIGRATION APPEALS FOUND THE MISDEMEANOR SEX OFFENSE WAS NOT "A SERIOUS CRIME," JUST A MINOR SEX OFFENSE, AND THEREFORE INELIGIBLE FOR A WITHHOLDING FROM REMOVAL. TO RECAP, YOU CAN WALK INTO A COUNTRY AT THE INVITATION OF OUR LEADERS AT PUBLIC EXPENSE, YOU CAN OVERSTAY YOUR VISA AND IN SO DOING MOCK OUR LAWS, THEN GET BUSTED FOR DRUGS AND A SEX CRIME, NOT DEPORTED, ALLOWED TO STAY, THEN YOU GO ON, PROBABLY INEVITABLY, TO RAPE A WOMAN ON A TRAIN IN FULL VIEW OF A CROWD THAT DOES NOTHING TO STOP IT. BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY. DON'T GET UPTIGHT. READJUST YOUR EXPECTATIONS. YOU WANT MORE OF THIS? YOU MAY BE GETTING IT. TODAY, JOE BIDEN'S NOMINEE TO LEAD THE BORDER PATROL SET FOR HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING. IT TURNS OUT IF ANYTHING, HE IS TO THE LEFT OF BY THEN, EVEN TO THE LEFT OF BARACK OBAMA ON IMMIGRATION MATTERS. JUST A YEAR AGO WHEN HE WAS THE POLICE CHIEF OF TUCSON, ARIZONA, HE REJECTED A FEDERAL PROGRAM CALLED OPERATION STONE GUARD SUPPORTED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, THE POINT TO HELP BORDER TOWNS FIGHT CARTEL VIOLENCE AND DRUG TRAFFICKING. THAT WOULD SEEM A WORTHY GOAL, NOT REALLY DIRECTLY RELATED TO IMMIGRATION, DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE DEATHS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS. BUT CHRIS MAGNESS IN HIS WISDOM REJECTED THAT MONEY. HIS OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS OUTRAGED BY THIS BUT CHRIS MAGNUS DID NOT CARE, HE IS A DEEPLY GOOD PERSON, UNLIKE YOU, HE IS HAPPY TO ABET THE DEATHS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS BY DRAGO D. HE SAID THE MONEY IN THE MISSION OF STOPPING DRUG CARTELS DID NOT ALIGN WITH HIS WORK. HERE YOU HAVE THE PERSON ABOUT TO OVERSEE OUR COUNTRY'S BORDER SECURITY, WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN BORDERS. NOW IF THAT BOTHERS YOU IN ANY WAY, IF YOU THINK WE SHOULD BE DEPORTING RAPISTS INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM RAPE WOMEN ON TRAINS, THEN THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A VERY CLEAR MESSAGE FOR YOU: A SHUT UP, KAREN, STOP COMPLAINING. THAT TREADMILL?
