of their news coverage. and we aren t seeing very much on the opposition. there is a belief, i think, you see this sometimes, if trump says it, it s wrong, and of people who are calling him on him are criticizing him are therefore right. tucker: that is the assumption and it is really distorting all of us. is destroying our media. byron, thanks a lot for coming on. thanks, tucker. tucker: the most irate elements of the left seem to have moved from protesting to rioting, to violence, political violence. up next, we will ask the leader of the anti-trappers instance by some on the left are embracing violence and why no one is saying that. also, a journalist who came out as conservative or repeatedly shouted down during a speech in oregon. he will be here to talk about the encounter with the my business was built with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that s why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my
censorship. it is very interesting that the most powerful people in the democratic party, where are the dog catchers on the democratic party? they are feral animals running around on the left, attacking everyone. the democratic party and the media are not telling us to stop. they are not standing up for the constitutional first amendment rights. it is very surprising and they are not winning any heart or mind in this country by letting this behavior continued. tucker: but they don t care. what you are happening here is the people in power are being threatened and that is the ferocious response. the middle class voted one way in the last election. the people in charge of everything lost control at their own power ebbing away and they decided to put a lid on it. as any university you have been to so far made any effort to defend your right to say what you think? i have seen nothing officially from universities. they are our small student groups, mostly republican group, freethinking
