Over time, Political Violence tears countries apart. He left behind a 74page manifesto in which he explains his motives in the detail. Apparently nobody in the american newsn media has read any of it all day have you left heard wing tie terrent to conservatives in the United States. Thats absurd. He was no conservative. As he wrote in manifesto conservatism is corporatism in disguise. I want no part of it. The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the peoples republic of china, end quote. Thats not a sentiment you hear from many conservatives. His views are not derived from american politics. The murders he committed have nothing to do with anyone in the United States. But that doesnt mean his rampage wont be used to change this country. It has happened before. Political terrorism always makes countries less free. In the panic after the 9 11 attacks, we impulsively gave away our right to privacy. Award the the federal government the right to spy on citizens without their knowledge for virtually any reason. That was a grave mistake. Authoritarian forces within our country would like to seize this moment for similar ends. Within hours of the christchurch shooting alexandria ocasiocortez blamed the National Rifle association somehow for the attack. The nra doesnt even exist in new zealand. Thats ary country with far stricter gun laws than in the United States. Ocasiocortez doesnt care. Maybe she doesnt even know. What she does know is that the nra is the single most effective guardian of the Second Amendment. The left would like to invalidate that amendment along with other parts of the bill of rights that are in their way. Evenle as you sleep, they are working to do. This democrats have already used the russia hoax to undermine gun rights. Newly released congressional transcripts show that Glenn Simpson of fusion gps fed false information about the nra to bruce ohr at the doj who passed it on to federal investigators. Simpsons lies helped launch a federal investigation into the nra. And that of course, was always the goal of it. In connecticut, the gun manufacturer remington is battling a lawsuit that holds them responsible for the sandyoo hook shooting. What did remington do . What it always does. Sell completely legal firearms point is to shut down Gun Companies making the Second Amendment relevant. The tragedy was a pretext to increase the power of a few over the many. Thatsea always the way it works. Already tonight you are hearing calls in this country for curbs on free speech in response to the new zealand massacre. Jeff bezos newspaper wasted no time on the entire thing of free flow of ideas that are, quote, spreading hate for the censorship class more control is always the solution. Rs fan more people, squelch ideas and go deplatform someone. A writer at the Chicago Tribune almost immediately blamed fox news for what happened in christchurch. You can see whats coming. Its already happening. Dy but it wont work. Censorship does not make us safer. Instead it drives forbidden ideas under ground where they fester and explode. If you really wanted to stop horrifying acts of violence like the one we just saw in new zealand, like the ones we have seen repeatedly over the past five or six years, you would take an honest look at what the west has become. It is place where the church has died. A place where a foolish ruling class calls itself god. A place where the people wither. Its hallmarks are fatherlessness, addiction, mental illness, evaporating social trust and widespread nihilism you would expect as a result of all of that. This is a society that our rule class built. Talking about why it doesnt work is a threat to their power. So they shut down that conversation. But, enforced silence doesnt help it divides us more. Dividing us was the point of yesterdays massacre in christchurch. Literally. He said so in his manifesto, quote i chose firearms for the effect it would have on social discourse and the effect it could have on the politics of the United States. With enough pressure, the left wing within the United States will seek to abolish the Second Amendment. And the right wing within the u. S. Will see this as an attack onn their very freedom and liberty. This will result in a dramatic polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the u. S. Along cultural and racial lines. End quote. So that was the killers dream. Rips apart america. Destroying it from within. Brendan terren. It is in prison tonight he has no power to hurt us anymore. We can only hurt ourselves. Lets hope we dont. Tucker a host at nratv and he joins us tonight. Thankson very much for coming on. Are you struck by how little time it takes for people in politics and the media to use a tragedy like the one that happened yesterday in christ church, new zealand, to affect a political outcome in this country . No. Not at all. Largely becausey growing up in life i i have always known that whenever there is an issue, one side is going to attack another side. And for me the way i look at it is, whoever they are attacking the most thats who they consider the biggest threat. Right now when it comes to discussions of freedom and the Second Amendment or what have you. The biggest threat to them is the nra. Thats why what theyre doing to the nra and its members what they are doing to you. Trying to silence you. Nothing they do up to this point nowce really surprises me. With the free flow of information, there is almost no pointnt in hiding the agenda anymore. They put it out there for the world to see and then attack anybody that disagrees with it. Tucker but to say that the nra is responsible for a mass shooting in new zealand where the nra doesnt operate and a country that has very strict gun laws, to Say Something like that out loud. Do you expect people will believe you or are you going through the motions of repeating your talking points. Ng most of them are t talking to their own echo chamber. For instance if you look at the way the discourse is handled online, right . I have been blocked by a number of these individuals that i have had tried to have regular conversations with about the issue. The reason they block me is so that my people dont see the conversation and then bring up their points and then the people on their side dont see the point we are making so we can have an open and honest discourse. They want to spit all the rhetoric to their echo chamber. A lot of those people are going to believe it because they dont know anything other than what they see on their side of the issue. Ha tucker right. Thats a very smart point. So sometimes i watch the news and i get very concerned that the authoritarian elements in the Democratic Party are taking over and it really is a threat to all of us, i think. And then i see moments like this. S i want to play something for you we just got this. Okay. Tucker this is a progressive activist screaming at Chelsea Clinton and blaming her for the shootings at the Church Christchurch because she aipac. Zed omar over i watch. This after all have you done. [inaudible] this right here is the result of a massacre. [inaudible] im sorry you feel that way mean . What does that mean . Tucker Chelsea Clintonha apologized because thats what you have to do. Why is it that when a crazy person kills innocents, other people have to blame bystanders . I mean, Chelsea Clinton, whatever her many failings and i criticize Chelsea Clinton many times she did not shoot anybody in christchurch, new zealand. Why cant people blame the guy who did it . Thats the state of our country. We have taken the idea of personal accountability and responsibility and shoved it out of the window and so now any time something happens, we positionio a lot of people in this generation to just look to somebody else and blame them for somebody elses actions. Its a weird kind of mentality that has developed over the last couple decades. Im starting to notice it more and more. When i see Something Like that, im going to blame the guy. I have my vitriol for the person who actually orcommitted the crime. Im not going to look to someone else and escape goat that responsibility on to someone else or even worse inanimate object like a firearm which tends to happen on an even more regular basis. Tucker thats exactly right like blaming a hammer when your house falls down. Great to see you will. Really interesting. Thank you for having me on again. Absolutely. Tucker well, for onel, day, just one day, beto orourke of texas was the hip celebrity of the democratic president ial race.

The first stoner american president. Chris matthews looking on at beto o the first stoner american president. Chris matthews looking on at beto orourke got the kind of tingles you have to stick a fork in a light socket to get. Watch this. Orht i always say the candidate wins who has the sun in his face who looks imlike sunny, optimistic, not the indoor bureaucrat sitting at some desk somewhere. Thats the image you want. Being kinetic like that. I watched him on the t campaign trail. I think its part of his appeal. I think that liveliness, that physicality, that outdoorsiness seems to work with people. Its not like we in the press created it. There is something out there that is magical. [laughter] nobody talks like Chris Matthews its a skill actually i have got to say. Thate was beginning of the beto campaign. Is he Bobby Kennedy but he can skateboard. It starteded on the very high note. It can only go down and it has. 24 hours into this candidacy all is not well for americas hackie sack hero. He has some hookups for sticky bud thats not enough in the modern Democratic Party. Today cbs news asked if beto was out of place due to his race t and sex. Watch this. In this particular with the Democratic Candidates more women and people of color than ever before. Do you feel advantaged as a white man, as a privileged white man they say about you. I dont feel disadvantaged. Its a great moment for the Democratic Party and i count myself lucky to be a part of it. D tucker it doesnt stop there the New York Times and the atlantic complain that betos wife didnt speak in his announcement video. Why couldnt she talk . The daily beast says that he drips of male privilege and, wait a minute, he is a rich kid who went to boarding school as robert. Isnt he culturally appropriateiating mexican culture by calling himself beto . Oisnt he a kind of a Elizabeth Warren of south texas . Can he exist in the woke Democratic Party . Well our next guest joins us tonight and first we want to give him a victory lap. Innate learner one of the people who convinced beto orourke who jump in the race. Congratulations to you nate learner by the way sincerely that it worked. Wby the way as rollouts go it was better than Howard Schultzs and better than amy klobuchars. It does raise some questions who he is because identity, of course, is the core of the Democratic Party. You have all kinds of cape tab female candidates and cape cable candidates of color and here is this rich white guy who elbows his way to the front and says let me talk is that the face of the modern Democratic Party . I didnt think it was. The whole part of the party we are the rainbow coalition. We have many faces what we want to celebrate right now is all the great candidates we have. All unfull display and especially in contrast to the republicans that ran in 2016. Its quite a strong contrast and reflects very strongly in what our party represents and what we are about. With beto what you have is inspirational figure who is going to unite people and thats what our party wants more thanig anything. Thats why he will be the frontrunner and will win. Tucker needs to be a rich white guy . I thought it was the Progressive Party . Whats wrong with kamala harris. It can be anybody. The point is we have strong candidates competing from all different walks of life and all different background and we celebrate that fact and look at those candidates and say okay, which one is going to represent our values . Ur which one is going to unite the party and country and be an inspirational figure. All the candidates in their own way do that very well. The one for me who stands out the most is beto. And thats why im supporting him. Tucker its kind of dweird because every time i watch cnn or msnbc and they are always looking at the republican field and saying white guys. Thats obviously a cursedd category. C you dont want to be a white guy thats bad according to the Democratic Party. Why would they even run a white guygu im asking asincerely. Its kind of insulting isnt it. The Republican Party is a great example when you look at pictures of paul ryans interns a bunch of white guys thats not a great look. Same thing. Tucker not a great look. When its the Republican Party in 2016 all a bunch of white guys. Look at congress 10 years ago all white guys that is not our country it doesnt make sense. You want people who are reflective of the values. Tucker why are you backing the white guy . You pushing in a field as diverse as the democratic field is for the one young rich white guy amwith the fake name to jump in front of everybody else . Why wouldnt you say hey beto wait your turn. Why are you pushing the white guy if you are against white guys . First of all, what we want is a party that reflects all of us. And once we get to that point we can look at all the candidates and say okay, which one is going to then be our standard bearer. I love the fact that we have the candidates running that we do. I want them all to run and ind would be more than happy. Tucker but you dont want them to win . I would be very okay with kamala harris, with Elizabeth Warren, with Bernie Sanders, with cory booker. Tucker wait a second Bernie Sanders is a white guy, too. Wait a second. If you really believe that the Republican Party is bad because its dominated by white guys. You have a choice of who to support. Im not being mean or anything. I understand. Tucker i think these criteria are instain and racist. Im just reading democratic talking point here. I dont believe them. I think they are crazy. Your party does believe them. I just wonder why you wouldnt personally strike a blow for diversity by supporting cory booker. I mean, obviously, is he a totally we already struck a blow for diversity. With just the candidates we have running. Now its okay we have all these great candidates. We are not going to make identity our sole issue. There is a lot of issues on the table to consider. Tucker its enough that they run. You just dont want them to win. I get it i think i totally get it. O i would love to have the first female president to be a democrat. Tucker you just dont want them to win. I would be more than happy inwinning. I prefer beto more to some of them. Tucker do you think that about our leaders . Do you think men are better leaders . That seems like the message you are sending. I think beto is a better fit for this time for our country. I think if you look at his message ofof unity. His ability to connect with voters from all walks of life. His ability to inspire and his ability to beat trump, for me thats what matters and thats why im supporting him. R thats not to disparage any other candidates. I like him for those reasons. Very simple. Tucker i have been mean to you for a reason. Everything you have said is totally fair. Im being honest with you. Dont you see how this identity politics garbage isn a dead end and deadening to the brain and you really should support a candidate llbased on the qualities that you just explained like the best candidate. It doesnt matter what color he is. Dont you kind of look at revulsion . Arent you repelled by your partys obsession with race and gender now . I think any time you get to the extreme in any position, it gets dangerous. If you look at the extreme opposite of identity politics thats dangerous. Look at extreme versions of identity politics thats dangerous as well. Any time you get into a radical position then, yeah, you start walking a dangerous line. There is inherent value in identity politics. Tucker opposite of identity politics. Is the Republican Party. Y. Tucker which is equality whichs. Is the goal. I agree. I think its allowing for our Current System to continue to push down minorities and those who are at disadvantage. Tucker by letting the one white guy in the field jump in front of everyone else. Now im against you now. I was for you but now im actively voting for cory booker because i want diversity in your party. Nate, thankar you very much. Thank you for having me on. Tucker well, privilege isnt beto orourkes onlyet problem. There is also his taste in art. As a teenager he by the hacker nickname psychodelic war lord. Has he dropped acid thats a good question to ask beto. Whether he was doing that or not he did write a poem about cows. To be clear beto is a poet. He is an artist and we dont want to be disrespectful to his art. T we dont want to boulder rise this. These are his words not ours. We would not add capital letters w to cummings poem. Its vulgar. If you dont want to hear it close yourur ears. I have neat a butt shine right now you are holy oh sacred cow i thirst for you. Provide mouth buff my balls love theov cow. Love me, breathe my feet of the cow has risen. End quote. Authorn and columnist mark steyn struggling mightily to keep a straight face tonight. Mark, howrk would you rate beto orourkes poetry on a scale of one to horrifying . Oh, come on, were in keats and shellie territory here. I love the rhyme. I love the meter. I love the poetic sentiment about buffing whatever particular aspect of beto personally i would be privileged to buff any part of beto but this cow is being invited to buff the essence of beto. And that in itself is a beautiful poetic sentiment. And i love nate learner, too. I have to say i thought that was absolutely delightful to say thatsi a diversity and identity means we have to put up lots of black and gay and muslim and transgender candidates so they can lose to the rich white guy. That seems to be their rational. [laughter] tucker but thats the thing i love about it thats what they think. Thats actually the t plan. Yes. And the thing about it is i dont believe in the concept of white privilege. Butt these guys do. Actually, its hard to get any more white privileged than a judges boarding school son who is writing bovine poetry of the kind you just quoted and is the worlds most dedicated middle aged skateboarder. You mentioned the other night, tucker, that they are all hailing him as the new rock star. And in our insane world, when it comes to political candidates, it seems to me you are either the new boy band or the new hitler. Increasingly there is nothing in between. So if you are trump you are the new hitler and beto is the boy band dejour. All boy bands are de jour. Something poetic in being in a political boy band when you are pushing 50 and still skateboarding around like the rich white kid doing bovine poetry back when you were getting picked up on dwi and burglary charges. This is actually a parody of rich, white privilege. Tucker i would like to apply the standards of identity politics to the people who espouse them. And if i can pass one law it would be that. You wouldou not be allowed to nominate beto orourke in the Democratic Party because its contrary to what you say you believe. Absolutely. And if he was the if he had an r. After his name he would be george w. Bush. He would be the rich white kid from texas with the dwi charge. Tucker such a good point. Only difference he has a d. An after his name instead of an r. Tucker thats so smart. I hadnt thought of it thats why i love having you always think of it. Thank you. Good to be with you. Tucker Hillary Clintons eemail exposes the attempt toon protect the Clinton Foundation warning working hard to solve childhood obesity. Did they solve it . Thats after the break. Everyones got to listen to mom. When it comes to reducing the sugar in your familys diet, coke, dr pepper and pepsi hear you. Were working together to do just that. Bringing you more great tasting beverages with less sugar or no sugar at all. Smaller portion sizes, clear calorie labels and reminders to think balance. Because we know mom wants whats best. More beverage choices, smaller portions, less sugar. Balanceus. Org tucker well, the russian dossier is looking filmsier and filthier newly unsealed deposition of its author Christopher Steele, he may have verified his research by using actual amateurs, literally amateurs. Fox chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge has been on the story for a long time and has the latest for us. Catherine. Good evening. These unsealed records from the buzzfeed Defamation Case show how the antitrump dossier was circulated during the 2016 election. David kramer then an aide to the late senator john mccain gave the dossier to Buzzfeed News as well as a dozen reporters. He was singled out by Christopher Steele to lend credibility to the democratfunded opposition research. Steele admitted under oath that he tried to verify the dossier using a cnn eye report story. It was verified why Glenn Simpson of fusion gps. I think they felt a senior republican was better to be the recipient of this rather than a democrat because if it were a democrat, i think that the view was it that it would have been dismissed as a political attack. The fbis former counterintelligence chief bill priestap also filed this declaration confirming the fbi got the dossier first 33 pages from mccain in december 2016. Now the fbi was already receiving the memos from other sources. Prestep also confirmed president obama was briefed on the up verified dossier by Senior Intelligence officials including then dni James Clapper 10 days before the nation. Thats the same time buzzfeed published the dossier online, tucker. Tucker an amazing story. Catherine herridge, thank you very much. Youre own no tucker an amazing story. Catherine herridge, thank you very much. Youree welcome. Tucker newly released congressional transcripts give us new details about the investigation into Hillary Clintons email server. Last year peter strzok, formerly of the fbi, toldss the congress that the fbi cut a deal with the clinton camp that kept them from reading any of the Clinton Foundation emailsun that were kept on Hillary Clintons private email o server. How does that work . Dan bongino is a former secret Service Agent and he joins us tonight. Dan, thanks a lot for coming on. We have seen a number of people get indicted, investigated, indicted, prosecuted, some of them will go to jail one just did paul manafort. Roger stones trial is up in november. Are any of those people offered that kind of accommodation, do you think, by federal prosecutors . No way, tucker, i have never seen anything like that. Its clear lady justice being blind means completely different. Justice iss blind to democrats. Here is the republican idea. They are peeking and looking at republican. Lady justice isnt blind anymore. I mean, think about what happened. Lets just rationally think this through. I know its hard for liberals to put their politics aside. But you have a suspect in a criminal case, the clinton team. We canhe all agree they were suspects, right, in a criminal investigation. Tucker right. You have ther suspects attorney dictating to the department of justice and the fbi the terms of what information they will surrender or they wont . Tucker, lets just think you dont have to be macgyver to figure this out, okay . Do you think the suspect suspect its not a trick question. Do you think the suspect is more likely to turn over information thats incriminatingio or less likely . . Lets think that through for a second. Im going to say give me what is they are not going to turn over the information, t alex for 200 and i think you would be okay with that the liberals and media think this is aokay. Tucker it almost seems like a nonpolitical principle. Im still not convinced that most doj employees are hard core democratic voters. Some of them clearly are. Peter strzok is one of them. Does seem like a case where the people who have the most power face the most lenient punishment. And the people who have no power wake up to find a federal agent with an ar15 in their faces. Yeah. You know. I would agree with you. Im glad you said that i wouldnt disparage all doj employees either. The left does that. They broad paint brush everyone. I would agree with your assessment this small cabal of people at the top during the Obama Administration were clearly at this point, if you are looking at this y through clear and not rosecolored glasses, clearly covering up for the clintons and barack obama. Tucker, i cant say this enough. O its not some kind of crazy x files Conspiracy Theory to say what we know happened. Barack obama emailed Hillary Clinton, excuse me, barack obama. We know this. No we know she emailed him from a private account. How do we know . Hillary didnt have a state account. We know she emailed him from foreign soil. We also know barack obama said he didnt know about hillarys email. He said it in a televised interview we can all watch. He said that its on the record. How did he thought know . Now, here is the kicker, tucker. Barack obama had a blackberry email device. Has to white list emails coming into that device so he doesnt get spam and trojans and things like that on the device. How did Hillary Clintons email get on that if obama and his staff didnt know about hillarys email . Sounds kind of like a scam to me, dont you think . I think they are covering for her. Tucker sounds like unanswerable question. Really quick. Will this ever be resolved . I think it will. Bill barr has nothing to lose. We will go for it and reestablish ther relationship for the doj and fbi. He will get to the bottom of it. Tucker i hope so. For the sake of all of us. Regardless of Political Party you ought to be able to trust your government. Dan bongino, have a great weekend. Yeah man, good to he so you. Tucker olympic swimmer is beingnd accused of what in the end all of us will be accused of hate speech for saying she wants womens sports to remain biological women. She joins us after the break. Tucker jeff zucker came to washington the other night to accept a First Amendment award. Enwhy would jeff zucker of cnn get a First Amendment award free speech and deplatforming his political enemy. Jeff zucker cannot stand it when people say things people disagrees with he punishes them. His brother didnt get that memo or couldnt read it last night the younger sibling who hosts a show on cnn interviewed Kellyanne Conway. Jeff zucker doesnt like Kellyanne Conway she works for trump. So when t it came time to hand off the show to don lemon he let the governors brother have it watch this. She uses our network for it give her talking points. For me, it feels beneath the dignity of this network to have someone on that just constantly lies and misconstrues things. And i feel like having someone on like that is giving them a platform that they have not earned. I just feel like we do a disservice when we try to give false equivalence to someone who is clearly obfuscating and clearly has an agenda to mislead people. Tucker the governors little brother looks absolutely stunned in that video and you can see why. According to don lemon ideas that jeff zucker are beaten neath the dignity of this network and should the knob heard. Cnn, ladies and gentlemen, the First Amendment channel. We livee in the age of the transgender athlete. More and more biological males are breaking into womens force and in some cases they are dominating. Sharon davies is a former olympic swim from her great britain. She was recently accused of hate speech for saying that transgendered athletes should not be allowed to compete against biological women. We spoke to her recently about this. Here itre is. Tucker thanks very much for coming on. Why did you say that Transgender Athletes should not be allowed to compete against biological women. Well, there is quite of us here in the u. K. Myself, kelly holmes, paula ratcliff, texan derson, daily thompson. The list is growing every single day. I basically what we have now decided is we just need to speak out before this injustice actually happens. As we know there is a difference of about 10 to 12 between a female performance and male performance. So a transgender woman who is biologically a man, been born a boy will have that advantage whether they have had testosterone suppress isnt a or no that will remain with them the rest of their lives. That gives the females racing a massive disadvantage. Thats not a level playing field. We felt something needed to be said. Its not a matter of being transphobic or having a problem with the Transgender Community in any shape or form. Its wanting sports to be fair based on sex and not gender. Tucker so the counter to this the counter that you received is shut up you are a hater. But the second level counter is that when someone becomes transgender that person is no longer the other sex at all. The transformation is complete and that person doesnt have an advantage. Thats not true, you are saying . No. Its not true. I mean, you know, if you are born male, if you are born xy, then you are going to have a bigger lung capacity, you are going to be taller, you have bigger feet, bigger hands. A better red blood cell count. Better handeye coordination. All of those things do not go away if you transition and the majority of men transition after puberty so they have all the extra strength that comes with testosterone that pumped through the body go through pursuant. Puberty. Even if you suppress for one year it will make very little difference to actual performance. Women cannot stand next to somebody and beat them. The reason why i suppose im speaking out more than most is that i competed against the for nearly 10 years of my life. I know exactly what it feels like to stand next to someone no matter what you do in the Swimming Pool you just cant beat them. Tucker that is fascinating perspective. You are making the rational cases that is clearly true and science backs you up. Then why havent the authorities who make the rules for sporting competitions stood up and said what you are saying . Yeah, i dont know. I mean, thats our problem. And thats why our voice is gathering now. Its not just gathering obviously in the u. K. Started in america. Spoken to friends at australia. My daughter is an exathlete she has spoken to competitors. They are frightened to speak out they get called transphobic which is not true. This is about sport. This is about biology. And this is about science. And all were asking for is more research. At the moment for the Olympic Games next year in tokyo, you just have to reduce your testosterone for one year. No surgery, no diagnosis from a doctor, no in your system whatsoever. Third and fourth and fifth string males against the rest of the british athletes and world athletes he could do that right now provided they stood up and said they recognize themselves as selfidentify as a woman. So its the potential to abuse this rule that is also very worrying. Tucker its totally crazy. Finally and quickly, do you find it odd that selfdescribed progressives are working to take opportunities from young women . Yes, i do. You know, in this country as im sure its the same in the States Womens sport has really grown particularly in things like hockey, football, net ball, you know weal have worked really hard over the last few years to give women better opportunities. I just find it extraordinary that were not coming out with a better solution for everybody. I think have you got two choices really, turn around and say the mens category is an open category and womens sport is kept purely for biological females or say the Transgender Community has their own games. Tucker thats right. Which might be the answer. You are a brave person to come on and say obvious tonight and i appreciate it thank you. E thank you. Tucker a newly published study finds that fully 1 3 of all teenagers visiting Emergency Rooms were assessed as suicide risks. Its an amazing number. If you know the bigger number its not surprising. Suicide and suicide attempts are rising rapidly with young people alongui with depression and many other ailments. The dramatic surge in suicides coincidesar with the rise of social media and the ubiquity of smart phones. Are they related . If they are related as they appear to be . Why arent lawmakers doing something about it right now . Tom kersting a family therapist author of the book disconnected how to reconnect our digitally distracted kids and we are glad to have him tonight. Tom, thanks very much for coming on. Thankm, you. Tucker this seems like 1 3 of kids being admitted to Emergency Rooms are believed to be at risk foror suicide. E. Thats i dont know what to say about that number. Are you surprised by it. Its frightening. I actually am surprised by it i didnt think it was that bad. I want to explain why, okay . So when you look at preadolescents and adolescents thats an important developmental stage. Your hormones are changing. You are trying to figure out who you are, where you fit in, who your friend group is. Its a builtin sort of insecurity. Its an important transition into adulthood, okay . Kidssomething that need to navigate in order to grow and learn and become sufficient adults. Now the antiequation what i call the modern day weapons of mass destruction, the smart phones with all of the social media and now these kids have a platform where they are constantly comparing themselves to others or they are corn distantly getting feedback or seeking feedback from the outside world and its compromising their selfesteem. Selfesteem which is how you feel about yourself your happiness and joy is never anything that can be got front outside world. It can only come from the inside. T its an inside out thing not an outside in thing. So why isnt there a National Conversation about what to do about this . Why are we sitting passively back . Why arent lawmakers . If these were cigarettes we would have a lot of florid facedot members of congress yelling in hearings. Nobody says a word. Why . Whats fascinating too, tucker. I lecture on this topic all the time. The average age of smart phone issuance is 10. 3 years old. We can watch any parent anybody watching right now. We all know thats a terrible idea. Thats the average age. And its basically we tend to do what they have been around us is doing. I think what we are going to see. We have to see lawmakers step in and start having rules. Like with cigarette smoking. Maybe if i was in control of this, i wouldnt allow kids to have smart phones until they were 18 years old if i was the guy that got to make that decision. Tucker , not. I would ban it tomorrow. I wouldnt agree more. Thats a radical position. Ignoring it 1 3 of preteens admitted to the Emergency Rooms are libel to commit suicide thats not a crisis . Thats a crisis. Tucker so, yeah. It is a crisis. So 2007. Tucker is enough studying being done of this. There are studies coming out starting to show a correlation between all of the anxiety disorders, the depressions we are seeing in unprecedented numbers. The average age kids committing suicide going down earlier and earlier. Coincides with the rise starting in 2007. Guess what also started happening in 2007 . Thats when smart phones startedn coming out. Thats when everybody started having all of their social media right in the pockets and the palms of their hands and kids getting lost in this superficial world and they are losing sight of the real world and themselves. Tucker its just amazing that i mean, you know, 1964 it was very controversial the Surgeon General was warning pack of cigarettes. People said that its not reallyly established. Youu really feel we are there right now. People say we dont really know and its blindedly obvious whats happening. It is and look at big tech. The Tech Industry has a tremendoustr amount of power. Their job, their goal is toei get eyeballs as long as possible on their products and they want to recruit these individuals when they are young. And 10 years old, think about that. 10. 3 years old is the average age kids are getting smart phones. Thats absolutely crazy. Tucker i hope they are sleeping well people selling this garbage. Goodd to see you. Tom, thank you very much. Tucker china is becoming a super power on the cusp of surpassing the United States in economic power and while its doing so, it is still treating its people like cattle. Literally. In some cases. Thats next. Plus mike rowe joins us to discuss emotional support animals. Stay tuned for that. Tucker every day china moves closer to overtaking the United States. Just because they are getting stronger economically doesnt mean the Chinese People are more free. They are not. China is still imprisoning Muslim Population in the west. Ordinary chinese still lose access to travel or education if the government says they have poor social credit. And now a hacker has discovered a bizarre chinese database that evaluated millions of Chinese Women on whether they were quote breed ready author of the coming claspho of china cant come too soon. He joins us tonight. S gordon, thanks very much for coming on. What does breathe ready mean and why would they be assessing that. Breed ready means they are able to breed children. The reason why is china has declining item mockography. Tomography if you start to look at some of the statistics they are really frightening. Last year their birth rate fell about 12 . Perhaps to the lowest rate in the history of the peoples republic going back to 1949. We are seeing that the workforce has already topped out. The population as a whole will top out soon. Chinas officials are just in a panic. Tucker so they are identifying women who are breedready but then what do they do with that information . Is there going to be a coherrive Breeding Program in china . There b possibly very possibly could be. Some chinese officials are gnow talking about having a two child policy which is not a maximum two children but they are talking aboutum requiring couples to have two children. Now, off course, china is not there yet. But you can see where they are going. Largely because they have been taken by surprise by collapsing demography. They shouldnt have been. People have been warning chinese officials about this for the last 15 years. They have sort of sloughed off the warnings but, you know, a couple years ago they really started to seat consequences of declining demography. Tucker i have been hearing from democrats in this country who are very concerned about having any kids because of Global Warming. It sounds like the chinese arent as concerned about Global Warming as we are. No. And largely because every social problem, every economic problem they have almost all of them are made worse by declining demography. And the chinese leaders start to notice. Thats starting with their economy. Because, you know, they grew during what was called the Demographic Dividend years. That was expanding workforce. Now the workforce since 2011 has started to get smaller and its gotten smaller fast. Tucker so we have the same demographic problems here, obviously and so does western europe declining below replacement rate. We just import new people from thehe developing world. Has it occurred to the chinese to do that . No. The chinese dont want to do that because they have a w system and then basically its based on racial superiority. They do view the rest of the world in inferior terms. Tucker on item mockography within maybe three years for the first time in 300 years maybe all of recorded history china is thought going to be the worlds most populist society. The worlds most populistpo society will be india and the chinese both disdain the indians because of racial superiority view and also fear india. People are concerned that china is seeing a closing window of opportunity and will lash out on that himalayan border. Tucker so, very quick, you just said something that almost nobody ever says which is that china may be the most racist country in the world maybe after north korea but certainly right up there. M the country is based on racial superiority and yet liberals in this country suck up to china constantly. Why does no one ever point that out . Hi you know, that, to me, is a mystery. This nation of enhanced superiority is bred into the chinese political system and you see it, for instance, they put on a skit on the China Central televisions program 900 Million People saw itit that depicted africans ass primates. And it is it is just incredible, tucker. Us tucker unbelievable. Brown is happy to call them. And so is dianne feinstein. Hope to see you soon, thanks, tucker. Tucker china rivals the United States our own people confidence. Re making use of emotional support animals. Not all are dogs or cats. Thats probably a good thing. Some are spiders or monkeys, one man has an emotional support alligator called wally. Wally is my emotional support alligator for my home use and stuff. We are invited everywhere. I do take him to lowes and home depot is he usually always welcome there. Tucker mike rowe has thought a lot about emotional support alligators. We invited him on the show to ask him are they good . Are they bad . Here it is. Tucker what do you make of the emotional support animal craze . Look, this is an interesting clip. T i never really reasonable doubt can the alligator before. And i admit my kneejerk reaction is to dismissive it aso absurd its better than crocodile which is completely different animal then we would have entirely crossed over. Of course its crazy except for the fact that its not always crazy. T if we have our typical binary choice of crazy, not crazy, im going to wind up saying something that loses me however many fans i might have left. So, all i can tell you in my world i love my dog. I have never traveled with my dog n anywhere. And i do not begrudge people who travel with their pets. But i was the first thing that i was invited to do when i adopted by little dog was to get one of those service tags. And i said well i dont need a serviced tag. I was told very specifically by a veterinarian by the way its so simple. Just go ahead and apply. They cant turn you down. So if we are in a world can get anyy tag for any creature to thereby allowed them to accompany anywhere, classic line of ghostbusters where dogs and cats are living together. Tucker i should say in full disclosure i know a woman who i may be married to who has brought a springer spaniel on airplanes because its a great dog honestly. That seems like a very positive thing to me. I wonder does it tell us something about peoples lack ofeo human contact that this is as widespread as it is. I think it tells us everything about peoples lack of human contact and our increasing lack of empathy but, also, our increasing level of expectationsea and righteousness. All of this collides in a way thats really difficult tos understand. But i will leave you with this. I was flying back from dallas and i just wrote about this on the facebooks. I got on, i sat down, i had a vodka soda, i fell asleep. I woke up and i looked down and between my legs on the floor was something i had not put there. W it was about this long. And it was brown. And i just couldnt for the life of me figure out what it was. And then it moved. And then i thought my god its a snake. And i reached down and ii grabbed it and the dog yelped behind me. An enormous dog was sitting behind me. I stoode. Up because i had to see this creature. It scared the heck out of me. It was in the company of a veteran and had it the service vest on. And so i sit down and i talk to this guy for about 20 minutes and get his whole story, which include must visit destinations like fallujah and all these places and suddenly, you know, i dont know what to think, tucker. I went from outraged, frightened, the size of this animal on a plane, whats going on to thank you for your service, thats a good dog. Tail scared the hell out of me still, you know, we have got to figure it out and there is not going to be playbook that makes sense in eevery situation. Tucker i love having my mind changed like that. Mike rowe you are the moral. Im just as god made me, tucker. I dont know what to tell you. [laughter] tucker thats as good as it is going to get. Thanks, mike. See you. That is it, the end of the show and thehe end of the week d what a week it was. We will be back monday night 8 00 p. M. , the sworn enemy of lying, smugness and groupthink.
