Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight 20190828

The aviators are back. There they are. There are the aviators, and he loves this. He is having fun. This is not heavy lifting for joe biden. I thought that message today was very thrilling. To me, i thought it was american, i thought it was great. Brian american and thrilling. You can do both. For a moment, maybe bidens campaign really thought it would be that easy, but, of course, it is not. Now, almost every day that brings a new setback for the campaign. Yesterday, new allegations that his brother promised biden help to potential business partners, but on most days its biden sabotaging himself but sometimes he forgets what state hes in and on others he is dividing American Children into poor kids and white kids. Now, the formerly fawning media are feigning concern for his well being. I think theres a sense that he could falter and then someone else would have to run. We dont know who that is. I mean, look, biden has to figure out what state hes in first, before he talks about fighting donald trump. I mean, he is campaigning in New Hampshire, and he thinks hes in vermont. He saying i could take you to back to the time before trump and everything was fine, and people of color dont agree with that statement, necessarily. People may be recalculating what makes someone electable. If i were in the biden camp, i would be very concerned. Voters under 50 and this poll on the democratic side, not only is joe biden not in the lead, look how far you have to go down. Joe biden is sitting at 6 in this poll. Wow. Ive never seen someone fall in everyones eyes so quickly and its not even labor day. Even womens marsh leader and far left activist Linda Sarsour is questioning his overall fitness for the presidency. After his mixing up vermont and New Hampshire she tweeted this. This is actually not funny, its very sad. These cant be gaffes. People need to be worried about his overall health. Tammy bruce is the president of independent womens voice and on fox nation. Have you ever seen people on the same team as joe biden trying to leave that team so quickly . No. You know, in the beginning it was like after the coverage, you would think everyone needed a cigarette and a shower, it was so lovely, but the media is a fickle mistress. Easy to get, and easy to lose, and i think they are also opportunists. At the beginning, everyone thought it was back into the normal rhythm of the next in line, and he was going to be president so they are all over you. The moment there is a little bit of the sample perhaps or a few gaffes, my goodness, its like maybe he is not the one, and then its a freeforall. This is the problem with the entire establishment. They think they know they are doing and they are going to cuddle up to whoever is going to be, and then when that doesnt work out, they are just going to go over to who is the most convenient or the next one. This is not loyalty, its not even really about joe biden its about the opportunism of people in the legacy media trying to cuddle up to the next person who they think is going to have it. Its not even about principle. These individuals in the media dont have them. But they also, i think, are part of the chaos that is ruling the Democratic Party. Nobody knows whats going to happen and the old rules are going to be getting to not apply. Brian you know when bill clinton hopped on the stage and you saw the confidence of ronald reagan, and you see joe biden, by almost all accounts, hes got off to a stumbling start but he does represent Something Different to what i think is the most serious is this politico story, talking about what his younger brother is doing, james. Going around saying my brother will help you with this court system and incorporate your Health Care Model into his plans. Of course, you could say i never give him permission to have but also talk what his sons involvement with the hedge fund with his brother, and i think these are people trying to say weve got more. Is that your sense . Yes, but also remember, its people like joe biden, who have been part of the system forever, part of the establishment, who have seen that the government is their own company. It you see it as their own little party and thats how it always has worked out. And this is what they are also all trying so just barely to hang onto so Everybody Knows which will biden has been injured, everyone knows what everyone else has been into you except of course for donald trump, who is not system. They do know, i think, that the fact that this is now being discussed perhaps is a message to him that, you know, its time to move on no matter what the democrats do, they will not win the white house in 2020 but it really comes down to the average democrat deserves better, the average democrat has been abandoned and betrayed as much is the average republican and at this is the democrats opportunity, the average regular mainstream voter, to say we like whats going on in the country. Trump has delivered on his promises. Our lives are better, the future is brighter, and we are done with all of these games and we are done with politicians from the past, and that includes people like joe biden. Brian yeah, he, in the real clear average, still has a point lead. In hampshire, hes up two despite the proximity to bernie sanders. Its still early, i get it but its closing quick and we have another debate coming up for ten people will be on the stage. Again, there will be no second date. Tammy bruce, always great to see you, i love your show on fox nation. Thank you, brian. Brian meanwhile, bidens president ial campaign isnt the only one seeking under awkward moments. At a recent Campaign Event over in charleston, north carolina, beto orourke yes, hes still in the race argued that it should be legal to get an abortion even one day before childbirth. For example. Someone asked you specifically about thirdtrimester abortions and you said thats a decision left up to the mothers. So, my question is this. I was born september 8th, 1989, and i want to know if you think on september 7th, 1989, my life had no value. Of course i dont think that and of course im glad that you are here. This is a decision that neither you, nor i, nor the United States government should be making. Thats a decision for the woman to make. We want her to have [applause] brian so they are cheering for an abortion that would happen the day before birth, in this case, 1989, september 8th. All right, somehow though that might not even be beto strangers statement from the night. Lisa boothe is a senior fellow and independent womens voice, she joins us now. We want you to see how bizarre things are getting them on the stage. Although, that shouldnt be surprising that this is the not the strangest thing he has said, coming from the guy whose instagram has dental visit so that should not be that surprising that on this comment, look. Beto has really struggled to gain traction in the 2020 election. In 2020, he was able to do so because you was a binary choice cruz. Now, it is not, now that it hes in this mix of 20 some candidates, hes not registering. Voters are paying that much attention to him so what were seeing from him is this pandering to the left thats just trying to get traction. I mean, even the guys name is fake, but he is struggling to get traction here. The second part of this on the issue of abortion is this represents this major shift to the left that we have scenes from some of these Democratic Candidates on the issue where they are now onsite of mainstream america on the issue of abortion. You look at beto orourkes we just heard advocating for abortion essentially up until the moment of birth. And we have also seen people like joe biden, who is supposed to be a moderate, who has supported repealing the hyde amendment, which is again against mainstream america. This is talking about advocating. Now hes advocating for taxpayerfunded abortions, which most americans do not support. Brian right, and he did qualify for the next debate, so he will be there. He tweeted that out to say, no matter how many times im asked a question, my answer will be the same the decision to get an abortion one way or another is not one the United States government should be making. Its a decision a woman should make. So he is proud of that moment. He is, and again, i really think he is trying to do anything he can to try to reach the Democratic Base and reach the progressive base, but theres also another comment that he made at this event at the college of charleston i want you and the viewers at home to take a listen. Suffering one of the greatest droughts in their reported history, caused not by god or Mother Nature but by you and me and all of us. Our emissions are excessive and are matched by the science and the truth. So, there he is blaming americans, blaming us, for the drought that is going on in guatemala. He has mentioned before that Climate Change is the most existential threats facing the United States, but one thing thats interesting that hasnt gotten that much traction, which i think what if he ends up emerging more as one of the top five candidates or getting little bit more attention, is the fact that he had signed a no fossil fuel pledge in his 2018 senate race and was actually removed from the list because he ended up taking almost half a Million Dollars from the oil and gas industry for individuals and also executives in that industry. He was actually only second to senator ted cruz in the amount of Senate Candidates that took more money. Brian you talk about the alltime high, he enters on the cover of every magazine. He cant get out of single digit and now hes looking to get one or two digits. I think the Democratic Party are wising up. He is just not interesting. Hes boring. Nothing that exciting about him very inauthentic, and i just, you know, he has on the debate stage next month so we will see if he gets any traction from that but so far he has not. Brian he is not jumped off the counter in quite some time. May be there something elevating, he will get on the podium, we dont know yet. Brian we do know he will be on the stage. We will see. Meanwhile, a d. C. Area mother says that her husband was stolen from her, and she says the perpetrator was none other than squad member congresswoman ilhan omar. Chief correspondent he is a news correspondent, that is, Trace Gallagher has more on this friction in marriage. Court documents obtained by our corporate cousin say the d. C. Political consultant met democratic congresswoman ilhan omar while he worked for her. Apparently, omar paid him and his Consulting Group about 230,000 through her campaign for things like fundraising, digital communications, and travel expenses, and the Daily Caller News Foundation now says the conservatives government ethics watchdog is looking into whether omar used Campaign Funds to pursue the affair. Meantime, dr. Beth mynet says her husband told her back in april that he was romantically involved with ilhan omar with Court Records adding this, quote, although devastated by the betrayal and deceit that preceded his abrupt declaration, plaintiff told the defendant that she loved him and was willing to fight for the marriage. Defendant, however, told her that was not an option for him. They lived together for six years before marrying in 2012. They have a 13yearold son, but dr. Mynett says even before her husband told her about the affair, he had already introduced their son to representative omar, and in court papers, dr. Mynett argued that her husbands decision, put his son in harms way by taking him out in public with breath omar who at that time had garnered a plethora of media attention, along with death threats, one rising to the level of arresting the wouldbe known assassin that same week. Because of those actions, dr. Mynett is now seeking primary custody of their son. Remember, ilhan omar has also been accused of marrying her biological brother so he could obtain american citizenship. Neither omar nor thim mynett has yet commented. Brian congress not back in session, but the action is not stopped. Congresswoman omar is still in the news. Trace gallagher, we will talk to that later. Two assignments today, we have to pay him double. I hope he invoices before the end of the show. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was just treated for cancer again but she may have a public appearance in buffalo. Also, reports tell me tucker himself will be back for an appearance.

Not even another cancer scare could shut down supreme Court Justice ruth bader ginsburg. The Court Announced last week that she had just completed a 3week course of Radiation Therapy for tumors on her pancreas, but on monday, get this, ginsberg made a public appearance at the university of buffalo for a friend, and seemed very healthy. Watch. It was beyond my wildest imagination that i would one day become the notorious rbg. [laughter] i am now 86 years old, yet people of all ages want to take their picture with me. Amazing. Brian wow. Shannon bream is host of fox news at night. She will take the stage at 11 00 but she is also a Supreme Court expert, and shannon, its amazing. This 86yearold woman, indestructible, right . Yeah, she is a tough cookie. We talk about the workouts she does, pushups and everything else, and she is hardcore. Listen, she had four cancer scares. Now, through them, but she has constant monitoring blood tests, scans, and she really stays out of this. She is very resilient and rated were determined. I tell people the story that she was very close with her husband, married for decades and the day after he died, i didnt expect to see our court, and she was there on the bench, and she has said her life is committed to this work. She knows the impact of the Supreme Court for generations to come and she felt like her husband would want her to be there even though she was grieving. She feels a deep sense of responsibility to the court and shes going to stay. Brian the thing that brought her to the university of buffalo, understand, was a friend from her undergraduate days at cornell. A long time ago, who passed away in december. But she wanted to make sure that ginsburg was still going to show up, so she attended for an Honorary Degree to get there. So you expect her back in session, right . Right. I do. Yeah, they are back into session october 7th formally for arguments. They are also already reading briefs, but shes kept up her schedule this summer other than a little vacation break with that she was undergoing for radiation. She, i expect, will be there. Shes going to be cooking and cranking with the rest of them. She is ready and there are big things on the docket this fall. I was very much expect her to be there and i love that she does have a sense of humor about her own celebrity. I think she does enjoy that side of her personality, something she may be never thought would happen to her publicly but she embraces it. Brian if Hillary Clinton had won, do you think she would still be on the bench . You know, that is a good question. She said she wants to say as long as justin stevens, who recently passed away, but shes 86 now and she says she wants to make it another four years, at least, so she is planning to stick around as long as possible and i think she tries to signal that it doesnt have to do with the white house. They all want to seem apolitical but she faces a lot of pressure from the left, who told her its time to go and she said no, im staying. Brian do you mind if i do a sports analogy . Andrew luck said thats it, i dont want to surprise anyone. He said, i want to do this anymore, its up to you to fill my spot. If she does like him and you think of the last year of her presidency Mitch Mcconnell will put somebody else up . Yes, absolutely. Even before her latest guy come i said, what would you do . And he said leave know they can see the hydrating said hes going to fill in a matter watch. He says it could get really ugly but im not sure the country has recovered from what we went through the kavanaugh battle but he is ready for it. Brian are you still prepared to host your show later . Do you have enough energy . I am, but with andrew luck, i wonder if we should set up a sit up contest between andrew luck and ruth bader ginsburg. Brian i would not put those two together, different mindsets. Headtohead. Brian she is shannon bream, look forward to seeing her in the hall. She will be in new york one more day. Meanwhile, former acting fbi director Andrew Mccabe could soon face charges for lying to federal agents. Prosecutors now are partly on the brink of reaching the decision about whether to prosecute mccabe. This is going to be tight. She is host of justice with jeanine, i hit show on the weekends on saturday night. You will see her on the news channel but the bigger news this week with the judges the release of her new book radicals relit resistance and revisions, the left squad to remake america. Jeanine pirro, great to see you. Good to see you tonight. You should be at home getting ready for bed. Brian you were kind enough to give me her book, i hadnt had a chance to so with mccabe, i find this go through it. Fascinating, you do this every day. I obviously dont, but the fact is that Defense Attorneys for mccabe were kind of meeting. They had two separate meetings with Justice Department officials over the last few days. What do you think that means. I know what it means. What it means is that the lying prosecutors did not agree to go forward at the prosecution of Andrew Mccabe, otherwise there would be no point to go to the Deputy Attorney general, right . If they didnt want to prosecute him, there would be no point to go to washington. Thats why you keep hearing an indictment is imminent. His attorneys are trying to convince the top guys at the doj you cannot invite this guy, and heres our proof for not wanting you to him by ten. Lisa page part of that love verb couple, strzok and page mccabe had to leak this kind of information. He was the Deputy Director of the fbi, and he had no motive to lie, even though the inspector general, in referring this as a criminal referral, relied on three occasions. Brian to back up just a little bit, and he mccabe was asked, did you leak to the wall street journal . He said no, i didnt. Then he said i dont remember. Brian right, so its okay for him or not to remember, its okay for him not to be confused, but is not okay for Michael Flynn to be confused. Its not okay for mr. Papadopoulos to be confused. Its not okay for uri to be confused. They dont give you that understanding. Its worse than that, and i will tell you why. Look, papadopoulos, the day that he didnt remember was of no consequence, and Michael Flynn a Lieutenant General for 30 years, even the fbi agents didnt believe that he was lying. They have to show that there is an actual intent to lie, but more significant than that is the fact that when you were at that level of government, they try to make an example of you, so that your wrongdoing is treated almost more severely than other peoples, and yet this guy is still walking around, getting a job at cnn, and writing a big book. Brian i find it interesting to hear. So, i did not know this came into play. In deciding whether to go forward with the prosecution, they are going to look at the court and when would be in front of and if they look at it as a liberal court with a conservative president , they might say this is not going to get to a conviction, is it worth my time . Im an idealistic world. Whether he did it or not but not what would the jury look like. Im surprised by that. I talk about it in my book and i talk about Andrew Mccabe specifically and what he should be charged with, and i even give the statutes in the book, but heres the bottom line. Every prosecutor and i did this for 30 years every prosecutor is going to say, can i prove this case beyond the reasonable doubt . And then theyre going to say will the jury buy it . Youve got a d. C. Jury that is not trumpinclined, and so they are going to kind of look at it and look at lisa page and say this is not a rightinclined jury or even a balanced jury. Brian its amazing. Just in case you think he is contrite, he is suing to get his pension back because he feels he was fired for political reasons so not only does he feel instant innocent, he felt he was wrongly fired. Right, and i talk about that in the book, too. This guy has such an ego, as if anybody cares about Andrew Mccabe and who he is. But what he did was wrong, it was dead wrong, and we are not even talking about some of the other issues, when his wife ran for state senate in virginia, he goes to Terry Mcauliffe to get money from the Clinton Foundation this is all dirty stuff. Brian just for the record, but you are not yelling at me, thats just what you do. It seems like you are yelling at me, but im from an italian family, and im used to it, but i want people to know. Im a judge, have to yell in the courtroom, they have to listen to me. And i dont have a gavel here. Next time, i will speak softly if you give me a gavel. Brian see you on fox friends in a few hours. Okay. Im always nice. Too afraid not to be nice. Thank you, judge. Meanwhile, like many other major cities, st. Louis is a democratic stronghold. Now children are getting caught in the cross fire. Im not kidding. That story is next. Plus, will President Trumps trade war with china end in victory for American Companies . Somebody who knows the answer. Lets take a wide shot, and then go to break. Brian st. Louis is one of americas most dangerous cities, and, sadly, anybody can become a victim. Over the weekend, three children were killed in the city, and officers are offering bigtime rewards to find the perpetrators. Journey thompson will not be at Elementary School on monday. A crisis team will be there to meet classmates, teachers, and staff. She was killed in high school after a fight broke out following a football event. The next day, city leaders announced 25,000 in reward money will be offered to the end of the month to motivate tipsters in any of the recent homicides of area children. Brian can you believe this . Crimes like this are routine and some of americas most liberal cities. In st. Louis, 12 kids have died over the last six months. Host of the buck sexton show, buck sexton is with us. Buck, all these kids are black. I have the number 13. So far, st. Louis since 2015, has the highest murder rates of any major city in america. Whats going on . Overall, violence in america has been dropping for years, which is a great story, but there are these specific areas, generally democratcontrolled urban areas, where you not only has a disparity with the decrease in crime and the rest of the country you actually have crime rates rising. St. Louis is one of them. Violent crime in st. Louis is up markedly over the last ten years. New orleans is another city, chicago is high, baltimore, i was in west baltimore just a few weeks ago, these are cities that need real assistance and new approaches to Crime Fighting and there is just a political culture in place that refuses to shift or refuses to change tactics and deal with very tough questions about how to protect all people in this case, Young Children from gunfire on the street. Brian they are trying to find who is doing this and you wonder are these kids caught in the cross fire or is there some series of sickos really targeting children . Im not saying dont cover el paso and dayton. They are horrific, and we should never be numb to them, but why are we focusing on whats happening chicago and st. Louis. We will just say well, its gang violence. Really . 13 kids are dead . We are just going to say its getting valid, they are just killing each other . Well, this is what stories about dozens being shot. One weekend in chicago and its something that we become numb to it. The people dont think about this as the crisis in some parts of chicago that it is and thats because of exactly what you brought up which is the narrative that is in play here for Mass Shootings where automatically you have a left, thats a very antigun, and they see a mass shooting as an opportunity to push the gun control issue, which is fascinating because they dont have the same focus on innercity crime and crimes that are provided eminently in minority communities because it would raise issues like why chicago, baltimore, st. Louis, why are these areas, where we have not been able to see the huge dry crime drop that weve had, for example, in new york city the past couple of years . Brian are we letting in politics get into how they are doing their job . We watch so many careers crater because they feel as though they were doing their job and they get accused of not doing their job well. The ferguson effect, the Daniel Pantaleo effect. Weve seen some of that in this. Absolutely. You talk to Law Enforcement and i was in nypd and was in the intelligence division, and you speak to them and the sense that you are not supported from the top down. That you could get jammed up in the politics. Its when you have to as a lawenforcement officer make the tough call but you need to know the brass has your back and a lot of these cities, they just dont and they know that. Brian thanks so much. Good to see you. Now, lets change it here. President trump continues to ramp up his trade war with china. Next week, new tariffs and 550 billion of chinese goods will start coming into effect. Now, President Trump says he thinks china is looking to make a deal, but how will the trade war actually end . Will it . Will u. S. Manufacturers and farmers benefit in the long run . Michael pillsbury is the senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and author of the hundred year marathon chinas secret strategy to replace america as the global superpower. The only thing i will take you on is its no secret. They want to do that. Is donald trump stopping it . Are we on the path that you would put our country on to stop it . Well, President Trump saw this coming 20 years ago. Maybe it wasnt a secret to him even that far back, but i think what actually has happened is, so many of our china experts and the Intelligence Committee and the think tanks were wrong. Everybody thought china would remain poor, number one, and number two, would move to free market and some kind of political reform. What happened instead is they created a stateowned enterprise system with what they call the 120 national champions. These companies are now the largest in the world. China didnt use to have any companies at all on the fortune 500, largest capitalization in the world list. Now, china has 120, and most of them are stateowned enterprises. We helped to build it, we helped finance them on wall street, we either gave them technology so we are largely responsible back from the early 1980s for this kind of predatory state thats been created. And President Trump has the idea of trying to slow down their becoming the number one power in the world, but as you might expect, theres been a lot of resistance from china. They are not used to a president who wants to call them and do something about it. Brian and they cant figure out quite where this is going. They said a couple of months ago, we were 90 done with this deal. What do you think happened inside china that made them back off from this deal . What was happening . Did somebody lose a power struggle . Well, a lot of intelligence agencies around the world are trying to spy on china to find out the answer to that question. That makes them even more determined not to tell us. We can see several things have happened. They recalled an ambassador from geneva, who was a world class trade expert. Then the minister of commerce who is known as a hardliner, did not attend the meetings and began to show up and was on the phone calls with Steve Mnuchin and several other things happens that implies that there is kind of a hawk group in china that did not pay much attention to these trade talks the first year. They then began to look into it and perhaps they realized how much change was required almost like constitutional change in china. If they made this agreement this 150 page agreement you were alluding to. Some chinese leaders thought this was a statement of good intentions. We will do our best not to steal any more american technology. But actually, the agreement requires them to change their laws, and they can be sued in court if they dont do it, or punished by President Trump with my tariffs. This may have shocked them, then they backed out. Brian so, right now, if i have a sophisticated iphone and i want to make it in china, i have to give it to the government and say this is how i made it. So we want to put that we are not going to do that. Our businesses need to look beyond their own wallets and say i am not going to give up my technology. Im going to do it in vietnam or i might do it in america. I got a better idea, Central America is hurting. Hardworking people there. Can we bring our manufacturing to Central America . I think the president s goal is to create jobs in america. Its what he ran on. A lot of this process i just mentioned over the last 20 or 30 years, its because the deindustrialization of the United States. Our manufacturing jobs have just plummeted. A little better recently, but the consequences of our building in china, as the president puts it, have been very bad for us. With the president is trying to do theres a pretty good chance you will succeed is to rebalance things. Not to turn china into an enemy, but rebalance things so its better for america. Brian its an exciting time. Theyve had their lowest growth in the last 27 euros. In the last 27 years. Thats a lot to do with the president taking them on right now. Keep your fingers crossed it comes out great for us. They are still growing three times faster than us. Brian right. Thanks so much. A copy of the book is on its way to you. Brian you got it. Meanwhile, tucker is off tonight but he will be making a special appearance right after the break. That story is next. Dont move.

Com tv brian all right, its another development that is sure to drive conspiracy theorists and mods. Authorities investigating Jeffrey Epsteins death, they say some of the camera footage of his cell was unusable. Trace gallagher rejoins us with more on this mystery. Trace . Brian, initially we were told there were no cameras near the cell where Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself. Now we are being told there were at least two, and likely more. The Washington Post says at least one camera was outside the cell that had footage that was unusable, but clear footage was also capture, but heres the problem. No one is saying with the clear video might reveal or why the bad video is too flawed for investigators to use. Remember, the guards were apparently asleep, and they were reportedly no other witnesses to the suicide, so for the Ongoing Investigation into epsteins death, the video is paramount. And having unusable video would be cited as yet another failure of the metropolitan correctional center, and the list there is long, including each jail officials knowing that epstein was not to be left alone, and guards being told, yet failing to check him every 30 minutes. Even though the medical examiner ruled his cause of death a suicide, lawyers for epstein and his family are conducting an independent investigation. In the meantime, we should note 116 women who say they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein appeared in court today calling him everything from a coward to a manipulator. The criminal case against epstein is about to be closed. The civil cases go on. Brian . Brian amazing. Trace, thanks again, thanks for everything. Thanks for both stories. Meanwhile, heres a tucker. Tucker in the aftermath of the Mass Shootings in el paso and dayton, the country scrambled, justifiably, to understand what might have motivated the killers. Ideology seemed like an obvious reason, and we picked that apart at some length. But could it just be part of the answer . The toxicology report on the date and shooter, for example reveal that he had several drugs in his system including cocaine and xanax. He was also known to be a longtime user of marijuana. It turns out in fact that many violent individuals have been avid marijuana users. Is there a connection . A former New York Times reporter and author of the fantastic book tell your children the truth about marijuana Mental Illness and violence, we are happy to happen tonight. Alex, thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me. Tucker we dont want to jump to conclusions that are not supported by evidence of course but what is the evidence that connects marijuana use to violence . We know that a large number in the wake of the dayton killer, and information that came out about him being, having signs of Mental Illness, possibly being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a lot of people in the media, wellmeaning people in the media, said there is no connection between Mental Illness and violence. There is no real connection. People with Mental Illness are not really more likely to be violent than the rest of the population. That is not true. To say that is to discount what Mental Illness really is. If you include a lot of people who have certain mild depression, you can say, okay, thats true. But if you talk about people with severe Mental Illness, people of psychosis, schizophrenia, those illnesses, unfortunately, are highly linked to violence, and they are very highly linked to extreme violence. The best studies, which really come out of europe, show that as many as 20 of people who commit homicides have diagnosable psychotic disorders. And that appears to be the case in the u. S. , too. So we know that Mental Illness accounts for an appreciable amount of the extreme violence not just in the United States, but all over the world. And we also know that cannabis can produce psychosis. Drugs, in general, can produce psychosis, but cannabis, specifically, can produce psychosis. Tucker so i dont think its going way out o out out onb to draw the connection between cannabis use and acts of violence. Why is this not something that we are pursuing . We are really bad about addressing or even researching the causes of violence in the United States. And often times, druginduced crime gets lumped it could be lumped as a domestic violence, gang violence. Unless you spend a lot of time and money studying who has been using drugs, and really the only place they do that is with the killers of children, people who kill children, the states are supposed to spend time investigating what caused whether they were drug users. And what states that have done the best research i found is that cannabis use accounts people who use cannabis, i should say, account for about onethird to 40 of the people who kill children in the United States. Thats true in texas. Its true in florida. Its true in arizona, which are three states that look at this data. So we know that cannabis use, unfortunately, is linked to a really disturbing amount of violence against children. But for whatever reason, we havent done the same research on adults, and we just dont know. Heres what i really want people to notice. The idea that Mental Illness is not linked to extreme violence is not true. People who say it wish it werent true, and they think that by not saying it, we are going to stigmatize they fear if we say it, we will stigmatize people of Mental Illness. Ill tell you what stigmatizes people with Mental Illness when people commit severe crimes, edits reported, people know it. What we need to do is discuss what is really happening out there so we can discuss how to fix it. Tucker lying doesnt help anybody. Last question. We are in the middle of the deadliest drug epidemic in american history, drug use appears to be going up rather than down. What would be the reason we are not studying this . We are studying everything else, why not this . You know, thats a good question. I think, unfortunately, there is a large portion of academia who believes that drug use cant be stopped, and that we really shouldnt try to stop it. We should just try to reduce the harm, which is funny, because the better that we get at Harm Reduction or needle sharing or all these programs that are supposed to help drug users, the more people die from drug use. Im talking about opioids, really, not cannabis. But culturally, we seem to have decided as a country, we are not going to try to stop drug use. And guess what . When you dont try to stop it, it tends to rise. You really need societal discussion, and i hesitate to say disapproval, but disapproval of drug use, and that will convince people, hey, maybe i shouldnt do this. Im not even talking about criminal sanctions. We are going to talk about this is a problem, not as something, you know, this is just something people do, and lets try to help them do it safely. Tucker is not a choice between being in denver or returning to prohibition. There are lots of stages. You are i say this every time youre on you are a voice in the wilderness on this. History will vindicate you, but in the meantime, im grateful you are saying what you are. Thanks for having me. Brian meanwhile, we change gears. Chinas dictatorship, police and citizens with social credit score, im not kidding. Silicon valley could be building the same system for america. Brett larson has been woken up, taken out of radio, and asked to come here to discuss it, so dont move. You become closed off. I felt withdrawn, alone. Having to live with bad teeth for so long was extremely depressing. Now, i know how happy i am. There was all the feeling good about myself that i missed. I wish that i had gone to aspen dental on day one and not waited three years. At aspen dental, were all about yes. Like yes to flexible hours and payment options. Yes to free exams and xrays for new patients without insurance. And yes, whenever youre ready to get started, we are too. Call now at 1800aspendental. Now im gonna tell my momma that im a traveller im gonna follow the sun transitions™ light under control™ new transitions™ gen 8™ lenses ask your eye care professional today and learn more at transitions. Com brian in china, if the government decides it doesnt like what you do or who you are, you can be blacklisted from schools, jobs, planes, and trains. Im not kidding. One year ago, tucker spoke to gordon chang about the system. Watch. What we have in china is there so many people there of course the government wants to control them and so what they are doing is they are collecting data. They are collecting data from 600 million cameras that they have in place in 2020. They are going to have traffic checks, all of the rest of it. This is being rolled out and its being rolled out very quickly. So for instance, youve got people who are not allowed to board planes and trains because their social credit score is far too low. Ia brian im not kidding. For example, if you have frivolous spending, they will work against you. Smoking in a smoke free zone, that will cost you points. Guess what, is coming to america courtesy of silicon valley. Brett larson says its true and he is on fox News Headlines 24 7. Brett, that is scary stuff in china. It started in 2014. Here. They are rolling it out now here. What you mean its getting here . Its kind of already here. It when you think about it, we share a lot of personal information on facebook and we share when we are out having drinks with our friends, maybe we are on the beach, maybe having a fun vacation, got a sunburn. Your Health Insurance company may be peeking through your social media profile and they f may say, oh, you got a sunburn . Well, you didnt put sunscreen on and thats negligence on youh part so if you come to up with us with melanoma five years fros now well say you arent taking care of yourself so we will raise your premiums. We have predicate scores in the u. S. Based on if you pay your bills on time, electric bill, all that stuff and thats acceptable but thats something you can look at, you can go ins and if there is an error, you can reach out to experian on transunion and say this isnt me, im not that brett larson. That is not my credit card or i fixed this problem, i closed that account and they will fixro it for you. The problem here is if your Health Insurance provider or a bar that you go to or airbnb or uber connects you with the wrong person, who do you go toit to argue about that when they say, hey, this guy name brett larson has been a problem on airbnb, we are not going to let you use our service. Then you cant use airbnb. Brian you think is shappening now. So for example, you think its totally logical that if an insurer wants to find out whator kind of lifestyle you have, they can check your social media and they can figure that in instead of saying we sent you to the doctor and your Blood Pressure is fine, you have no history of disease and your family doesnt have it. Right. Brian they will say, i dont like your lifestyle. Imagine this. Imagine your car Insurance Company says download our app, we will make it easier for you to pay. We will give you 5 off your bill if you pay it through the app. Ouou maybe you allow it to access your location while you are on there, that way they can send it to you somewhat faster if you get in an emergency. They could also be tracking howe fast you are driving because your phone has a gps, it has an accelerometer, they know where you are and how quickly you are traveling so your Insurance Company could come back and say hey, you know what, we have noticed youve been speeding, and in fact, you speed all the time when you are behind the wheel, we are going to raise your rates. Brian so in china, if you criticize the government or if your family members criticize the government, that could be used against you. Now we look at that and say thank goodness thats notw, us. But you say keep an eye out because it really gradually could be us. Right. It could be us and the problem in a lot of this stuff is we have this amazing document, thee constitution, that protects us. We can say whatever we want about the government but if something is tucked away and we didnt see that and thats being used against us or shared with other people, who do we complain to . Brian cavemen didnt know how good they had it. [laughter] its unbelievable. Hey, thanks, brett. Meanwhile, thats about it for us tonight. I want you to watch each night at 8 00, this show is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. Tucker will be back tomorrow night but if you want to see me in person, november 16th in san antonio, texas.

Heres the great sean hannity ready to go. Sean all right, brian, thank you. And welcome to hannity. Buckle up tonight. We are going to expose a shocking level of corruption surrounding sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe biden and members of his family. We are talking about new claims tonight of nepotism and possible improper influence. We will let you decide. It should make you sick to your stomach.
