Because, again, there could be other shooters at large. Now, this happened earlier in the afternoon, local time. It is about 5 00 p. M. There now. If this happened during friday prayers, when the mosques likely were filled with people. One witness who lives right near one of the targeted mosques there in central christchurch says he saw a man dressed in black clock into the mosque around 1 45 00 p. M. New zealand time, and he heard dozens of shots fired, followed by people running out of the mosque and terror. The witness then reported that the gunman ran out of the mosque, dropped what appeared to be a semiautomatic weapon in the witness driveway, and then fled the scene. That witness adding he saw dead people everywhere. Here is that witness speaking with local reporters on the ground. Listening. At some state, there were 10 minutes, i was still there, and when he had left, i pushed myself to get into the mosque and into an unbelievable i saw in the main room, right inside, 20 plus people, some of them were dead, some of them were screaming. On the lefthand side, ten plus people, some of them were dead and some were screaming. If they are me, if there is any and i said, be patient. The bullet shells, so many hundreds, hundreds. And then i saw, maybe a guy was trying to run out, and he was shot, he was dead there. I saw from the hallway to the room i was in, a guy was trying to come into the room and he was shot there. Also a guy who was probably trying to get into the living room, and his dead body as they are. Its terrifying. At the back, also, a couple of people were dropped dead. Came and told me we must get ou out. They guided me out, and now here i am. While all this was happening, you are waiting in a back room in a wheelchair . Hearing these terrible sound and awful things, that must have been so frightening. I was not in the back room, i was in the back of the mosque, in the car parked just behind my car, where my car was parked. Yeah, it was frightening, but probably, my feeling was, at that point, what would have i was not frightened, i was really worried about what was happening to other people. You heard there, a witness on the ground in Christchurch New Zealand describing the chaotic scene inside and outside that mosque, again in central christchurch. The first mosque shooting, then followed by a second on the eastern side of christchurch. The Prime Minister are saying today, this is one of new zealands darkest days, also fearing that the victims could be migrants, or even refugees. We are waiting for a press conference that should start at any moment now, held by local new zealand police. We will bring that to you as soon as it pops up here. In the meantime, reports from new zealand of two shootings at mosques in and near the city of christchurch, again, the eastern part of new zealand, and this is what we know so far. Police confirming that one of those shootings has resulted in multiple fatalities. Police also reported that at least one person is in custody, but people in the vicinity are being warned to stay indoors, stay out of the area as they search for more suspects. If this happened during friday prayers, when the mosques were likely filled with people. We will continue to stay on top of this developing story and bring the latest, right here on fox news. Tucker major bummer, global warning could make us go extinct, dead forever. Some will criticize the Green New Deal for being too bold or being unmanageable. I will tell you what i havent seen anything better that addresses the singular crisis that we face, ahe crisis that could, at its worse lead to extinction. Tucker extinction, thats what beto is fighting against. Ti what else is he for . Thats a fair question but honestly its not really clear. We checked hisis campaign website, there is a picture that says beto for america. In english, the one in spanish says beto for all. They couldnt find any actual policies even about fighting extinction we did find a sweet beto tote bagn just 30 bucks you dont have to pledge to npr to get it although you probably have. You should get it its awesome. Chris plante hosts the chrisha plante show, he joins us tonight. Rather than ask you theac conventional political questions about who is up or down in this race, want to do a very quick ways, because its thursday, and its called stone a tenth grader or beto. I will read you a couple of quick quotes. Stoned tenth grader or beto. Im quoting now. Im going to take my sweater off and its not because he asked about marijuana. Who said that . Im going to go with beto on that. Tucker there is a reason you won jeopardy. Yeah, here is the second. When i was six and seven years old, i didnt know i wasnt a mexican. Im going to go with beto on that one, too. Tucker man, okay, you are right again. Okay, heres the last one, and im quoting, i dont know if it is a speech or not, but it felt amazing, because every word was pulled out of me like price and greater force, which was just the people there. Everything that i said, i was like, watching myself, being like, how my saying this stuff . Where is this coming from . Stone the tenth grader or beto . Can cannot combine the two d make it a stone 46yearold . Tucker yes, you can exactly. [laughter] thats so good. So what is so obviously this is a campaign microtargetted at morning shows on the other channels. I mean, i get that to the media class. But who else might be taken by this candidacy . Well, he has all the qualities as you described there to be dj on an mtv show or to win the bachelor and get a rose. And win the date or whatever it is they win on those shows. But now, the process we have instead of winning a rose and getting a date at the and getting a date at the house. Thats basically what this is, it is a game show. Beto is the hero of the morning shows he was called a rock star at least twice. I was only watching for a little while on cnn this morning. Rock star. Rn rock star. They will couldnt be more excited, they were giddy and didnt bring up anything. There was nothing discouraging or critical otiscouraging or critical he is nearly perfect. He is going to prevent the secular apocalypse which looms large in everyones mind. I know we have 12 years. Have you noticed we have a 12year countdown clock but the countdown clock never. They will keep using it for years and years. Six years from now we will still have 12 years, and a thats their timeline for saving us from ourselves from the dreaded secular apocalypse. Today, some of the audio i played of him today talking about countries where people now live which will soon be under water and be uninhabitable and hundreds of millions of refugees are going to flood to us and we better take them in and learn their languages and do whatever. Barack obama claimed he would slow the rise of the oceans. I think that betos claims are much more grandiose than obamas. Tucker can i ask you a nonbeto i just cannot resist since you have been in the media so long and you know it so well. Linguists have shown that the use of cliches is a marker for low iq. Dumb people speak entirely orn cliches. What does it tell you that the every political reporter uses the same cliche every four years, he is a rock star . Is there no original language allowed in political coverage whatever. More and more the candidates are using the same Bumper Sticker languageha and keep it brief. Keep it to the point. Keep it simple, stupid. Hope and change. This, i have got today there was no hope and change. It was all horror and apocalypse and we are all going to die. It was the most uninspiringg and uninspired message i had ever heard from a president ial candidate in the United States and their first day running. It was grim and glum and you know, the woman had you on a couple nights ago who doesnt want to have children, thats because she was listening to people like beto orourke. And were all going to die. Its utterly apocalyptic. And if thats an inspiring message for the Democratic Party in 2020, then hello president trumps second term. Tucker so i got to make a correction. Apparently we just got a call in the control room we call in the control room we when i was 6 or 7 i didnt know that i wasnt a mexican is not from beto it was from betos dad and not from a stoned tenth grader either. A i just heard that in my ear so i would like to apologize and correct. R. Betos father was a big he has changed party betos father. He is now a republican apparently. s but he did campaign for jessen jackson for president repeatedly. And his father used to be maybe he put down the bong too. I dont know. I read, at least, that you cant believe everything you read that he has come over to the bright side. Tucker interesting. We have to drug test at some point for candidates. Chris, thank you very much. Thanks, tucker. Tucker a lawyer and former advisor to president obamas Campaign David he joins us tonight to assess this newest candidate to the primary field. Hi, tucker. Tucker if you could summarize the candidacy of they do or are, you . On behalf of the republicans, its fear. You just spent 10 minutes being sarcastic of betoca orourke, as did chris. You are pretty funny. You came up with good attacks on him. Some of the attacks that the republican also use. Tucker easy. There is a super pac in iowa, fund for growth, thats already put up ads against beto. They started last week before he even declared for president. Thats because republicans are of him as a candidate. Gaeee now why are they scared . . Number one reason is because. He ran for senate in texas which is a red state. Tucker okay, can i pause really quick and say if republicans are afraid of him, that means that he is harmless. I mean, republicans also thought jeb bush was going to be the nominee. Republicanco consensus is almost never write in politics, thats not a good marker. Tell me why you think he is a good candidate, he just lost a senate race. He almost won a super red state, texas. That means can he bring over independent voters to vote for him. Candidate on the democratic side has been able to show that they can do that in a red state statewide. He also is a prodigious fundraiser. He raised 70 million for his Senate Campaign. Thats a record. No other candidate on either side of the aisle has ever raised that much money. That makes him a formidable candidate. N o hon he doesnt have a tucker he has the billionaire class behind him. Okay. He doesnt have a full platform of issues yet. Tucker he has a tote bag. And some talk about extinction but he doesnt have really a platform at all. Why would you announce for president before coming up a with answers to some of the basic questions where the country should go . Its a goodul question and i think it is a strength and a weakness for him. Obviously, the weaknesses he doesnt have a full platform of things he can run on. Though he was a congressman for six years and he did vote on lots of different legislation. But, he has to now build his platform but it can be purposebuilt for 2000 20 aimed at the center. He is going to distinguish himself fromo Bernie Sanders and elizabeth warren. Hes going to go on that track. Tucker no, youre supposed to be defending him, and now you are attacking him. He said he woulds build his platform, purposebuilt, for the selection. In other words, he would be whatever he thinks he needs to be he is totally as hollow as he seems. Thats not what im saying. Tucker if he believes in something tell us what it. One of the reasons he is appealing is because voters knew him as genuine care thats borne out in the Senate Campaign in texas and in the polling, as well. He is going to build an agenda that is goingal to be consistent with his own values. What im saying is he is not on the record im also different issues, so we can build it in a way that is consistent with his own values, but track toward the middle of america, and shows a serious contrast with president trump, whose poll numbers are still very low. Historically low. Tucker let me ask you really, really quick, i think a democrat has a shot for sure. Beto specifically very quick he on camera said that we should tear down the border barriers that separate the United States and mexico. Are you for that . He did not say that. He said we should tear down the in el paso where he is from because actually the crime ratet went up in el paso after the wall went out. Thats a fact. Tucker the city on the other side. The city on the other side is one of the most dangerous places in the world el paso. But not el paso. Tucker there is a wall between them. You think we should tear down the border wall between el paso and juarez . I dont. I do not think we should tear down the wall. Tucker thats insane actually. Z . Immigration is going to be an important issue for beto. What he is going to have to be able to show because he is from a border town, and a border state, and in congress, he knows how to deal with the issue of immigration. He certainly cannot tucker bo not dealing with it. Hepe cant be for open bordes because america is not for open borders. Tucker he is. He can come up with Reasonable Solutions and compromises that all of america would support. Tucker tear down the wall. Protect our country and protect our country and some people like tps and dreamers. Tucker i think your average person would saye tearig down the wall between el pason and juarez is not a mainstream position. You dont support it. I dont support it. Tucker we will have plenty to talk about as the beto movement continues. Thank youu beard thank you, tucker. Tucker newly released transcripts from peter strzok reveal the scope of the fbis insurance policies. Famous insurance policy which, of course, was the russia investigation. We have details on that after the break. Wow, before i refinanced i paid so much on my grad school loans. So insane speaking of insane, have i not taken a vacation in 4 years . I should probably do that, and get a new car. How about a road trip . Or tokyo . Well ive got to celebrate, because now im going to be debtfree even sooner. And this is why i sofi. When you refinance your Student Loans with sofi, you can save thousands. Tucker republican congressman doug collins today released a transcript of disgraced fbi agent Peter Strzoks testimony before congress. The transcript shed some light on his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clintons email server as well as his now famous text message to his girlfriend lisa page assuring her that the fbi had a quoteheio insurance policy against candidate donald trump. Fox washington correspondent Kristin Fisher has been on this story and has more for us tonight. Hey, tucker. There are several revelations in the transcript released today from Peter Strzoks closeddoor testimony. Perhaps the biggest is despiteat all of those antitrump Text Messages, he told thehe committe that special Counsel Robert Mueller never once pressed him on political bios for the transco also reveals that the Justice Department to specially cut a deal with Hillary Clintons attorneys that lay the groundwork for fbi access to her personal emails servers, and he said part of that deal was that the fbi was not given access to any emails about the clinton foundation. Republic and harassment doug collins, who released the transco comics claims why i believe the american he did. People deserve transparency and what transpired at the highest echelons of the fbi during this at the meltous ons t t tumultuous time at the bureau. Put out a Statement Release of the transcript pete at all times discharged his duties honorably, patriotically, and without regard to his personal opinions. The Justice Departments own Inspector General concluded he did not have confidence that strzoks decision to prioritize this before investigation over the clinton investigation was free from bias. Tucker . Tucker Kristin Fisherr for us in washington. Thanks very much. A former doj official and trusted voice, we think, on this matter and she joins us tonight. Thanks for coming on. Whats your reaction to this transcript . Tucker, unfortunately it doesnt surprise me at all i think anyone who thought that the fbi was making decisions alone without prosecutors from thede department of justice doesnt understand how the department of justice works. J fbi agents cannot file an arrest warrant. They cant get a complaint. They cant get a fisa warrant, for sure. They cant get a search warrant or a grand jury subpoena without a federal prosecutor. And they certainly cant go to grand jury and get an indictment. So, they needed federal prosecutors to agree to prosecute. Tucker huh. Tell me what we know about the insurance policy that seems like the most ominous phrase to come out of all of the declassified and unearthed documents in the last two years. And nobody has ever explained sufficiently what they were talking about. No. They really havent, tucker. Th its actually sad when you see a career man like peter strzok coming out and saying through his attorney that he was a patriot and free from bias when it appears very clear that he had a preference in the president ial election andrs his Text Messages with lisa page show that he was acting on that bias. W i just dont know how you canus argue otherwise. Partisans certainly do. People with a brain certainly cant. And it looks clear to me that they were putting their thumb on the election and the insurance policy with this bogus counterintelligence operation that started with nothing and was lies to the fisa court. And we are here two years later still talking aboutan collusion. Tucker so a functioning government would see this as a threat to peoples faith in government itself. And so the power that the doj wields over our lives and would go in there and make absolutely certain that none of this crap remained and that people were fired over it and show the publican this is a clean agency. If that hasnt. Why . I dont know, tucker. It really, really baffles me that the president has not fully declassified absolutely everything and made everyone give statements about what their motivations are. There are lots of people we have never heard from. I have no idea hot prosecutors were in the clinton matter or for that matter worked early on the rtrump investigation and Counter Intelligence and who sought the fisa warrant. We dont know their names we dont know their motivations, we dont know why they did it, we dont know why they lied to the fisa court. I dont understand why this hasnt been a declassified. I hope that soon we have all of the answer so everyone can evaluate it. Tucker of course. Tucker of course. The center of the story. The story isnt really about trump. Its about whether can you trust that your government isnt lying to you and trying to hurt you for political reasons. All of us have a right to believe that and we dont. Francey hakes. I hope you will stick with us as this story continues. Thanks, tucker. Tucker outrage is spreading tonight after dozens of people were indicted indicted a massive scheme to cheat College Admissions to game the system. Now several colleges are themselves being suit. We will have the very latest on it stay tuned. Tuck stuck over the last 30 tucker over the last 30 years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has become a lot of power in american politics, and he got that systematically slandering the political enemies of the left. Practice conventional christianity, belief in the differences between the sexes, and host a show like this one and can you expect the splc to brand you as extremist, hate crimea group. They have gotten rich doing it endowment of 500 million. E but even as it called all of its political enemies evil, the splc was and you will not be surprised to hear this, operating on a very different standard within their own offices. Today, the group abruptly announced the firing of its founder morris dees. The group has not revealed exactly what he did, but the statement implies that his behavior was severe and widespread. The spl says not only did it fire him, but it will bring in an outside organization to review the Work Environment of the entireut group. Josh lewin, a reporter in alabama who was recorded on thi this, cited an internal splc email that says he was fired for a mix of Sexual Harassment t again, buckle your seat belt for this one racial bias. Despite calling the group the Southern Poverty Law Center, nothing impoverished at all about his own lifestyle, he lived very well, probably better than anybody else in the state of alabama. He was 82. He was the splcs highest paid employee and lived in luxurious place on a couple of hundred acres. He got rich by frightening grand mothers, sending them direct mail, and hurting his political opponents. That pays well. This evening, dees spoke with a local reporter and denied all wrongdoing. Thats not surprising. Dees has set himself up as arbiter of good and bad. He believes the right thing so he is by definition a good person. If you disagree with him, you are by definition evil. Well continue to follow the story because we think it tells you a lot. Meanwhile, the backlash continues tonight after dozens of people were caught taking part in an elaborate effort to rig the admissions process. At elite colleges across the country there yesterday, a Class Action Lawsuit was brought against eight colleges by individuals who claim the schools share the blame for the rigged admissions, which, of course, they most likely do. Last night, we told you this was simply an example of a wider trend. Of the ruling class looking down on people and gaming a broken system in order to get ahead of them, while keeping them out. No need to take our word for it, we have the numbers. 33 parents so far have been indicted in this scandal, we take a closer look at all of them. They are overwhelmingly from the coasts, primarily from the stat state this is a fox news alert from americas news headquarters, we are still monitoring developments in new zealand, the scene of what appears to be a deadly terrorist attack, lets go live now to a press conference happening right now in new zealand. Enough equipment to ensure that when we release the lock down, people can get home safely. We are in the process of that. It will happen very shortly. We are pouring resources into that area. Every available canterbury and staff member and people nearby, other emergency services, also saturating that area to ensure that everyone who needs to get home and get so safely. We are also setting up a facility, as we must, because this is absolutely tragic, there will be so many people affected, so that people can get more information. They will be worried about their loved ones. We dont have the identities of those people who have died as yet, because those locations are still in lock down, but we want to make sure we set up a facility where people can phone in and get the information they need. That is an absolute priority, and our people are doing it at the moment. As you can imagine, this is requiring every police and emergency resource that we have available. We have Defense Force aircraft here in wellington ready to fly more resources into the area. We will do that from other locations nearby, as well. So i want to assure the public, we are doing everything we can to make sure there is no more harm to our communities. As ive said, i will be back to speak to you more this evening, with more details. I will open up for some questions, but it is quite possible they wont be able to help you out with any more detail. And i do have to return to work to brief others. Reporter is there any information you can give us on the shooter at this point . No, not at this stage. Four are in custody. Three are men, one a woman. As i understand it. Its moving quite quickly, so i need to frame that in that way, that is what we believe at this moment. Reporter anything about motivation at this point . Not conclusively, we are working our way through that, as well. Reporter and you testify, this is a terrorist attack . We are still living at the circumstances that surround that. It doesnt get any more serious in this country. Reporter on social media about the attack . Im absolutely aware, ive seen social media footage. Its very disturbing, it shouldnt be in the public domain, and we are doing every thing we can to remove it. Reporter mike how did you apprehend them . The attackers were apprehended by local Police Forces doing absolute acts of bravery on our police staff, the way they responded to this. Lets not presume the danger is gone. We want to make sure we are right across the community, as a visible and equipped as we need to be to make that happen. Reporter there were reports of a car bomb, can you tell us more about that . I can tell you there were a number of ied attempts at vehicles that we also stopped, they have been made safe by the Defense Force. But that does go to the seriousness of this situation. [reporter questioning] that person has been made safe, we are still working through that. But we believe there was a claim, but that person is absolutely safe. [a part of questioning] no, i cannot confirm that, but i confirm we have arrested four people. I wont assume there arent others, but i dont have information to that effect. Reporter the people who have been apprehended . I cant go into that detail either. That detail will unfold in the next few days, thats all i can say at this stage. But im absolutely conscious that the public need to be informed, kept informed of it. We have come into my left, a host of communication staff who will make that happen, but as you can imagine, we have so many operational staff, absolutely committed to this operation. Reporter instructed to be armed for the next week, what else can you say about that . Of course, our staff will have immediate access to the equipment they need to keep themselves and the community safe. Reporter mike are officers outside of christchurch being armed, as well . We are not assuming this is contained to christchurch, we have no information to suggest it is your listening live to commissioner mike busch in new zealand giving us an update on the shootings at two different mosques in new zealand just a couple of hours ago. Here is what we have gathered from that press conference, right now, there are victims that are dead. We dont know an exact number yet, and they have not been identified, but we also know that there are now four people in custody, and the commissioner noting that three of them are men, and one is a woman. Also that there might be social media footage floating around out there of these violent acts out there, and that the police are working right now, quickly, to try to bring that social media footage down. If they are also trying to set up a facility for families to get information if a Family Member is, perhaps, missing, or a family cant get a hold of somebody. Again, they do not have a hard number on the number of fatalities. We are hearing that there are multiple number of fatalities. We will stay on top of this story for you and to gather more information and bring you that as soon as we learn more. But right now, breaking news out of new zealand, where multiple people have died after two shootings at two mosques. To stay with us right here on fox news. Tucker oh, its time nowow for final exam. Your break late in the week where the news professionals compete against one another to see who has been paying the closest attention to whats going on in the news. After a brief hiatus tonight a we are happy to say that fox correspondent Lauren Blanchard is back to defend her 8 game winning streak. Sean spicer and ed henry are among those buried by blanchard.

This week her challenger one of her all Time FavoritesRaymond Arroyo has a new book out will wilder the amulet of power. So happy to have you tonight. I dont want to come off that high, and have you suffer at the hands of Lauren Blanchard, who, as you know, it is deceptively good at this game paired we will see. I know you know both know theuz rules. Put your hands on the buzzers, ask the questions for the first one to buzz in gets to answer the question. You mustt wait until i finish asking the question to answer. You can answer one psychology by saying your name. Every correct answer is worth a single point, each incorrect answer day tracks a point from your total, truly. Best of five wins. Are you ready . Yeah. We are ready. Tucker okay, question one. Over on social media, where you shouldnt go but you may anyway, people could not stop about a video of mitt romney that showed his very unusual method of doing what . Blowing out tucker Raymond Arroyo. Blowing out candles. Tucker he cant block candles . Im not sure if that is right, but lets go to the tape. Ia senator mitt romney is beig mocked on social media after sharing this video, as you can see, picking up each individual candle. Why did he do that. Imid sure its more sanitary. One by one. Its bizarre. There is a lot of character revealed on this which we wont unpack tonight. Tucker im with you on that, raymond, i have to say. But we are not going to go farther. This is a game show, not a political this next is multiple choice. Wait until i finish offering all the options before you weigh in. Which famous woman now ins her 90s made first Instagram Post a doris day, B Betty White or c the queen . Lauren blanchard . It was the queen. Tucker the queen. Was it the queen . By the way, the script does not specify which queen peer was at the queen . You know the lady from england . Queen, who is 92 years old, make her first ever Instagram Post today. There she is. Showing off her revenge body. Should have clarified, Queen Latifah are Queen Elizabeth . I want a clarification from the rules committee. Tucker it just says the queen. Question three. Now, i want to praise you for this question, if multiple choice and is difficult. Vegans have come up with a new way to save animals 3d printed steaks. Its fake meat comes in the form of a vegetable paste squirted out of a nozzle sounds appealing. Which combination of vegetables is used to make this mistake . Is it egg, cabbage and soy, b, broccoli and green beans, or c, rice and seaweed . I believe it is the first. Tucker Raymond Arroyo. Its a he, cabbage and soy, is not your answer . Yes, cabbage and soy. Tucker is it cabbage on zoe, to the tape. Who doesnt love a delicious, mouthwatering steak like this one . Watch it being lovingly prepared by a 3d printer. Yeah, the chef is basically a fax machine with a nozzle. Worse, it is a vegan steak, not made from vegans, the ink cartridge is made from rice, peas, and seaweed. Yes, seaweed. Tucker raymond, dont berate yourself. In the life of every contestant who faces off against Lauren Blanchard, there is a moment likean this. But all was not lost, because we are going into question four. And here it is an unbelievable and here it is an unbelievable south African Wildlife photographer getting too close his subject and winding up in the animals mouth. What kind of giant bees to try to swallow him . T Lauren Blanchard . It was a whale. A big whale. Tucker a whale, like a jonah situation . Yes. Tucker was it a whale . This has to be an unprecedented picture. Take a look there, the jaws of a whale, and if they are, the legs and flippers of a man dangling. I wildlife photographer, just as legs showing. It took less than two seconds, and amazingly, he survived. Tucker thats unbelievable, he lit a fire in the whales belly. Our judges in new york are calling an audible, as they sometimes do, saying the final question is now worth two points. I love it. Tucker kind of like a handicap in golf. Youve got to give me a chance. I dont want to end up on a tombstone. Tucker you would join a long list of where the opponent opponents. Final question, a wild video out of australia shows a man paragliding across that countryside, and when he hits the ground, he is attacked by what . Lauren blanchard . A kangaroo. Tucker kangaroo. Would make sense. Probably not a quality air. We will find out. Kangaroo is the answer. A man spent two hours paragliding across the australian countryside, but the real danger came after Jonathan Bishop landed safely on the bishop landed safely on the oh, my gosh. You cant do anything. Actually punched twice by the kangaroos before they both bouncedos away.

Tucker Actor Jussie Smollett has pleaded not guilty to 16 felony charges to the hate crime he apparent apparently fabricated two months ago he is following it. No surprise, the not guilty plea came today despite overwhelming evidence against him the actor vehemently denies the charges. Smollett claims back in february two men beat him up, put a noose around his neck poured bleach on him and shouted racial and homophobic slurs and said this is maga country. Those two men said he orchestrated the whole thing and where to buy the noose and bleach. Envelope white powder turned out to be tylenol that smollett is accused of himself a week before the attack is now being investigated by federal authorities. Mail fraud often leads to jail time. It appears that when smollett was stillea considered a victim, a formerr senior aide to michelle obama, told chicagos top prosecutor kim fox, saying smolletts family was concerned about the police and wanted the the Police Matter turned over to the fbi. Fox later emailed chen, spoke to superintendent johnson chicagos top cop, i convinced them to reason out to take over the investigation. Fox sent an unnamed smollett Family Member nearly the same message. Member responded oh, my god, this would be huge. Fox, who recused herself before smollett was charged, said the family was worried about media leaks. Johnson says he spoke to the fbi but in the end of investigation stayed where it should have. Tucker . Tucker trace gallagher, good to see you. Well, last night a group of highly paid media figures gathered in washington, d. C. To do what they do best congratulate themselves on being such incredibly good people. Annualnc First Amendment the way, and might seem a little odd. We spent the last two years almost alone in washington by the way defending the idea that the unpopular ought to be allowed to say uncomfortable things in public. That was our understanding of free speech. But this is 2019. The point of the First Amendment award is now just the opposite. It goes to the Media Executive who has worked most tirelessly to punish the people he doesnt agree with. And force them to be quiet. Given those new criteria this years award went to, of course, cnn president cnn jeff zucker. The day that we c allow those in power to determinee who gets to ask them questions and what kinds of questions we ask, that is the day that this dinner ceases to exist. Tucker who gets to ask the questions . Now whatever you think of jeff zucker, he is not encumbered by shame. Keep in mind, it was his network, cnn, that argued in public that fox news should not be allowed to ask any questions of the candidates in the democratic primary debate. That just happened. It was also cnn thatat demanded that radio show host alex jones be silenced because jeff zucker didnt like what he was saying. Cnn waged a Long Campaign against jones. It worked. Jeff zuckers silenced and deplatformed his show. It was a stunning defeat for free speech. So naturally, jeff zucker just won the First Amendment award. Whether you like donald trump or youis dislike donald trump, the one thing that i think we can all agree on is that donald trump has made american journalism great again. At cnn, our core mission is to tell the truth. Hold those in power accountable. Even when its uncomfortable. Especially when its uncomfortable. Tucker cnns mission is to tell the truth. Well, maybe someone ought to tell carter page, cnn falsely suggested he was a russian agent and helped destroy his life. Or tell to the Covington High School students. Jeff zuckers network shamed and slandered them on the basis of lies. The truth, may be the judge will believe that. He better help that. They are facing a 250 million lawsuit or their fraudulent covington coverage. Lots of luck. Zucker doesnt want to talk about that. Al as always he changed the subject to, you guessed it, fox news. This administration has made it abundantly clear that they do not have respect for or tolerance of a free and independent press. They call us the enemy of the people. They limit our access. They selectively grant interviews most often to outlets that assured them that they will follow theet script. Quitee literally, they put our lives at risk with their words and their actions. Tucker fox news follows a script . Right. This is the only network on television where you wont hear the same script every night. Its the only news channel that deviates in any way from the other 10. They are united in total conformity. We are different. I zucker hates that he prefers strict obedience. Jeff zucker would shut down fox news tomorrow if he could. Justhe the other day, zucker says that fox news has, done tremendous damage to the country. How . By disagreeing with him and his friends. This is not the behavior of someone who supports free speech. Its the mark of someone who wants to crush free speech and has. And, yet, in washington, people like that get First Amendment awards. Its grotesque. Well, a collection of 9 11 calls released by the daily beast show the miserable often suicidal environment that prevails inside amazons many warehouses in this country. Hi, this is the amazon. Hi amazon. Com. Okay, whats going on there . We have a male, 34, suicide. They have a female associate they believe is overdosing at the moment with a possible emotional disorder. Wi he intended to cut himself three or four times tonight. What did he attempt to cut himself with . One of our safety box cutters. She has very specific plans. She made a threat that she says she has enough pain pills in her car to basically end it. Has he said how he would kill himself . Has he said how he would kill himself . Blow his brains out. Tucker shannon is a former employee of amazon and shezo knows what it is like inside whtheir warehouses. She has joined us before and she joins us again tonight to give us some perspective. Shannon, thanks very much for coming on. Those recordings are horrifying. What kind of conditions could have led to 911 calls like that . The excessive pressure that you feel when you are at work, the constant hounding from the managers to alwayss do better. Your best is never good enough. Its never good enough. You cant take bathroom breaks. You cant take water breaks without it counting against your rate. And if it counts against your rate, that means you have to work harder to be able to make up that rate because you took time awaybe from standing there scanning or counting or picking, you know, go use the bathroom or get you some water. So you have to make up those rates. Tucker how closely does the company keep track of where you are when you are in one of these warehouses . Oh, very, very close. You are on camera 24 7 from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave. If you are not standingou at your station, scanning or picking or stowing, a manager picking or stowing, a manager know where you are at from the time that you are not scanning t until the time that you start scanning again. Tucker you are on surveillance camera for every moment you are at work . That seems orwellian and terrifying. Right. We have direct cameras on us from behind that watch every move we make. You know, from i mean, it doesnt matter if you are scamping your nose or coming down off the ladder, they watch to me, the only time they ever take care of safety issues is if you do something wrong. F but as far as the safety issues from when i injured myself back in october 2017, that was a big issue and dave clark had made a statement on nbc saying theyen had gotten the station fixed immediately, right after myon injury, which was another lie that they had told nbc because in january, 2018, when i went back to work, they had the station still was not fixed and i reinjured myself on the same station. The mental that you have to put up with keeping rate, the safety issues that to me did not seem like a big deal because i reported this station nine times. It still was not fixed. Tucker here you have a Company Owned by the richest man in the world, politically powerful man jeff bezos, who owns a media outlet. He clearly could afford to fix he clearly could afford to fix ixdescribing. People are calling 911 because they are threatening to kill themselves. Why do you think he hasnt taken steps to make this better . I dont know his reasoning behind not making sure that the issues of safety are a top priority. But i do know that his amazon winnings are his top priority and not the safety of his employees. Nobody should ever have to go to work and feel like they are their job is in jeopardy or they are going to lose their life at their job because of the pressure that is put on you. Tucker did you know people who were driven to the brink of harming themselves by working there . Tucker, im going to just go ahead and be honest with you, my very first Youtube Video i ever made, ir mentioned something about driving my car off of Eagle Mountain dam because i was more worth more dead than i was alive and let me tell nyou what . That was so surreal to me because, i mean, thats theus kind of mindset that they kind of mindset that they important. What you are giving to him, his wealth, his amazon winnings . Thats whats important to him. Not your mindset or your health. Tucker i wish we had more time and i want to issue a public plea, will the the Washington Post please cover this . I know jeff bezos owns your paper. Show some independence and journalism. Thank you so much. Can i Say Something please . Tucker almost out of time, give it to me quick. Ng yes, if it wasnt for the world socialist website putting out my story, it would have never gotten out there. Tucker because sometimes it takes the fringe press to cover the truth. Thats true. Good to see you. Thank you. Tucker well be back tomorrowk night 8 00 p. M. , the show thats the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. Dvr if you can figure that out. I cant. Sean hannity is standing by battle stations ready. Live from new york city. His show is at 9 00 p. M. You should watch. Sean im really jealous. Youve had a weeks vacation. I called you.
