physical embodiment of america' institutions. when he murdered george floyd h was doing to one man what our country has done to all african-americans. many people told us this including joe biden. >> i just want to say a few words about the horrific killin of george floyd in minnesota, but it sends a clear message to the black community, black live that are under threat every single day. >> they speak to a nation where too often, just the color of your skin put your life at risk. >> george floyd's last words spoke to a nation were the colo of your skin dictates the safet and your future. i am a white man. i think i understand, but i can't feel it. >> george floyd murdered becaus he was black, that's what they told us, they demanded that we believe that and if you doubted it in anyway, if you had any questions about the facts of th case, you were effectively as guilty as the racist cop who killed george floyd. one theology teacher learned what that lesson the hard way during a virtual class, teacher noted that the cause of george floyd's death was disputed. that is literally true, the trial hadn't even begun yet. the dispute is at the core of every trial. for the crime of observing the truth, the catholic diocese of columbus fired her. according to the diocese, had made unsupported personal assertions and opinions about the death of george floyd. tonight, we're going to do what you're not allowed to do in catholic high schools in columbus or anywhere else in america, we're going to assess calmly and and honestly as we can what happened to george floyd on memorial day. george floyd's death was sad. every death is sad as we point out. but the question is was it murder. that matters deeply because his death has been used to reshape how we live in this country because he died, we have something called equity and under the pretext of equity, ou leaders have been trained and open racism in nearly all of ou institutions you see it everywhere from corporate hirin quotas. americans have been told that george floyd's death was a racist murder, and they are responsible for its. it is not incumbent upon black people to stop racism. to stop this, it is incumbent o people that hold the power and society to help to do that, to do the heavy lifting and guess who that is? who is that, chris? >> white people. >> white people are responsible cnn said that out loud, but man others joined them. now, that assertion led to rioting that killed at least 19 people and may kill more. it destroyed hundreds of businesses commit minneapolis were all of this began may neve return to normal this is what the city looked like last year. >> that was last summer before the city council in minneapolis cut the funding for police. in the first weeks and generall this year, minneapolis 8250 percent increase in gunshot victims compared to last year. the neighborhood where george floyd died is now more dangerou than ever, businesses reported up, residents called it george floyd square. we visited that neighborhood a few weeks ago and walked around to see what it was like. the whole place was awful, it was not improved, it was much worse, nothing at that blm has done in the city of minneapolis has improved the lives of the people who live there. on saturday night a man was sho to death in that neighborhood. reporter for the washington examiner tried to get to george floyd square to find out what happened he couldn't, he was informed no white people were allowed in. so that is a snapshot of the equity that george floyd's deat has been used to. this second reason we're going to assess what exactly happened to george floyd is that it's likely that derek chauvin won't receive a fair trial. you not you may not care, but you should care. that should matter to you, ever american deserves a fair trial. that is the whole point of this country, equal justice under th law, there is no other point. but will chauvin have a fair trial? hundreds of activists have been steering down national guard troops outside the courthouse i minneapolis all week they shut down streets outside the courthouse on monday. we need justice, justice by any means necessary. in other words if you vote to acquit, the community will burn because we will burn its. it's like something from mississippi in the 1920s. where is the justice department and all of this? where is the so-called civil rights division? to protect the civil rights of derek chauvin. even accused cops have the righ to a fair trial. you're civil rights are not suspended when you're accused. this is america. of course the civil rights division is nowhere to be found there doing nothing. not surprisingly during jury selection yesterday, jurors had a reluctance to want anything t do with the case. one prospective juror explained the threats he would face. >> can you tell us why you weren't sure? >> it's more from a safety security standpoint as far as i'm concerned, i feel comfortable to say, but i wouldn't want issues or harm to come to my wife or my family. and there are certain individuals that were out to intimidate or cause harm, if they knew where i lived, its potential that they could do damage to the house or spray paint the house or garage door or break a window. >> so they jurors are intimidated. that is the point of mob justic it's the point of mob justice 100 years ago in the south. the thugs outside the courthous don't want jurors to focus on the evidence for the no evidenc might not help their case. much of the evidence hasn't bee seen by much of the american population the effort began to happen immediate after george floyd died. everybody has seen the footage of derek chauvin on his neck. it's also confusing why would h ask like that bright it must be illegal bird no one in the medi thought to tell is that in fact using a need to restrain and uncooperative suspect is the official policy of the minneapolis police department. it is taught at the police academy. using a slide from training fro the academy on your screen righ now. that you didn't see that slight last summer our media were building a murder case and usin it to transform this country which they successfully have. nor did anyone in the press thing to report what happened before derek chauvin put his neck on george floyd's neck. they made sure that nobody coul see the body cambridge footage. body cams exist we can know wha happen, but they had this footage and we only sought because the daily mail, which i from great britain and slightly less terrified and then our own media are. the body cam showed officers working for about 20 minutes trying to detain a man who they believed had just committed a crime passing a of a $20 bill, and man who clearly had lost al sense of reality. the footage showed george floyd begging officers to stay with him he was clearly suffering th tape is wrenching to watch. it is, and by the end you are filled with sympathy for george floyd. but it's not the picture of a murder. the incident began at 8:00 p.m. on may 24th when a grocery stor clerk called police to report that george floyd had used a counterfeit bill. officers found floyd in a car near boy. immediately it was obvious that something was very wrong with george floyd. >> hands on top of your head. stepped out of the vehicle and step away from it. step out and face away. step out and face away. i'm not going to shoot you, ste out and face away. >> please don't shoot me, man. >> step out and face away. step out and face away. >> please don't shoot me. please. >> step out and face away. step out and face away. >> please, man. i didn't know it, man. >> so george floyd was emotionally out of control and that's what you feel so deeply for george floyd, as you watch that video. he's panicked, he is terrified and hysterical. the question is why? the minneapolis police department does not have some fabled history of police brutality it just doesn't. and this certainly wasn't his first encounter with law enforcement. in 1997-2007 police arrested hi a total of nine times on charge ranging from drug possession to theft. in august 9th of 2007, he barge into a woman's home and holding a gun to her abdomen in front o her toddler in a home invasion into got five years in prison for participating in it. so he'd been in custody before, why was george floyd on the verge of hysteria? the police officers wondered th same thing. you got foam around your mouth said one cop. a bystander looking on-site you're going to die of a heart attack. police then asked floyd if he had taken drugs. >> are you on something right now? cute let's go. let's go. >> are you on something right now the police officer asked? no stage george floyd, but that wasn't close two true. according to the medical examiner's office he wasn't simply high, he had a lethal dose of fennel in his system he also had methamphetamine. the autopsy report showed he ha 11 nanograms of sentinel for millimeter of blood in his system when he was tested at th hospital. more than three times the amoun of fentanyl required to kill a healthy person. again, that's not our judgment, that's directly from the autops report, the one that people didn't see it until after the riots. signs associated with that not include eggs respiratory repression, seizures, coma, and death. fatalities from blood concentrations are variable and has been reported as low as 3 nanograms per milliliter of blood. nobody is denying this. the floyd families own lawyer admits that it's true, quote, it's true that the hennepin county medical examiner's autopsy showed that floyd had fentanyl in his system. but then he insisted that georg floyd was killed by racism. in fact, the medical examiner, and you can read this online found that george floyd hite wa indeed on memorial day finally gave way. according to a press release from the medical examiner's office his close cause of death was pulmonary arrest complicating restraint and net conditions. contributing factors arthroscopic and hypertensive heart disease, fennel intoxication, recent methamphetamine use including h was also infected with covid bird that's alive. in august, after months of writing, documents related to the autopsy were finally released in court. one was detailing a conversatio with prosecutor's office had with andrew baker, baker was th chief end up in county medical examiner brad baker told prosecutors that mister floyd had if he had been found dead i his home or anywhere else and there were no other contribute impactors, we would conclude it was an overdose death. the memo noted that baker said that if aetna levels were prett high and that it is a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances. in a separate memo, baker announced the autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that mister floyd died of is fixie asian. mister floyd was having trouble breathing of course, the most noted part of the tape, what explains that? where i was george floyd tellin officers i can't breathe? here is one possible explanation . one of the primary symptoms of sentinel overdose is slowed or stopped breathing leading to unconsciousness and death. that might also explain why george floyd was saying i can't breathe long before any police officers knew was anywhere near him in fact george floyd was complaining he couldn't breathe is cops tried to get him in a police car as he resisted. >> roll the windows down. >> you gotta believe me. >> i'm not that kind of guy. >> i'm gonna die. i'm not a bad guy, man. i'm not a bad guy. please. please. >> take a seat. >> i can't breathe. please. please. >> again, no one can watch that footage without feeling sympath for the man in handcuffs. he is terrified. but does that footage amount to a murder? no it doesn't. it so clearly doesn't. the problem is that nobody saw that footage during the riots last summer or before them, the weren't allowed to see it. that could be why it last june, 60 percent of respondents to th usa today described his death a a murder, that was then, more facts have emerged from behind the media blackout including th tape we just showed you and tha perception has changed accordingly. and it's changed dramatically per the percentage of americans who believe george floyd was murdered house now dropped by double digits and is down to 36 percent. in other words, the question of whether george floyd was murdered is in fact disputed by a majority of americans. the bad news is you're not allowed to say that out loud. one of the few people covering this case honestly and accurately from the beginning, and there are not many is scott johnson who lived in minneapolis . he is here with an update on what we know. scott, thank you for coming on. does this date, and you're an attorney, have a murder case against this officer? >> they're going to introduce evidence to support the second-degree murder charge. i am quite sure that they are not confident they're going to get a conviction on that i thin it's a stretch. they charge i think they are going to rest their hopes on is a third-degree murder charge i think is likely to be reintroduced into the case afte having been dismissed by the judge. tucker, either reviewed a lot o the evidence that will come int for the defense, and it will be introduced. i think that a jury should be able to sort it out. you focused on the to basic disputed questions of fact in the case, and that's what jurie do, they sit is judges of the facts. the juror, the prospective juro who you featured in the introduction was excused, the one who expressed concerns from his safety. in that question has been asked to each of the prospective jurors and i think at the end o the date today, there we're about six jurors who had been seated. i think they'll be able to sort out the evidence you alluded to and more. there is another problem that you also touched on in your introduction, and that is the mob factor. that is an issue i really question the judicial system ca deal with. the mom factor is visibly manifested in what you must've seen when you were here last week or the week before. is surrounded by three blocks o downtown minneapolis or surrounded by concrete barriers and barbed wire and they will b manned by thousands of national guard soldiers when the time comes. why is that? why is that protection necessary . i think it is because in the event of a not guilty verdict, the mob would do its thing as i did last summer. it is hard for me to believe that a juror can't have the possible secondary effects of a not guilty verdict if they were to think the evidence warranted it on his or her mind when they go to deliberate. i don't know how the judicial system deals with that. that really is not clear to me having watch the jury selection process over the past few days. it's kind of the rodney king that is why those barriers out there. the courthouse will be protected , the police precinct which of also been reinforced will also be protected. of not so sure about the rest o the city. >> it seems like that's why we have law enforcement to keep protesters. i don't think this will be the last time we talk to you. >> thank you. >> this afternoon the new york times issued a fiery statement condemning this show. why? because we committed the one cardinal sin and that was to disagree with one of its reporters. it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours? ...delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. >> everyone wants to be a publi figure, everyone wants to be famous, but if you are famous there's a special burden you bear right now. if you're a person in the publi eye who dares even briefly to think for yourself, there is roughly 100 percent chance an organized group of fascist on the internet will do try to destroy your life. look at your fired, picket your house go make sure your kids ar miserable. they're not doing it because they like you or dislike you personally. they don't care about you, ther doing it because they understan the truth can metastasize. once someone prominent with a megaphone starts aintree things people hear it and pretty soon the whole edifice of lies comes crashing down and the fascist o the internet have less power. they tried to crush you before it happens for the question is how do you respond when they tried to crush you bird there are only two possible options and both of them were on displa today. both come from great britain because the attack on speech an thought is a global phenomenon. winston marshall plays banjo fo a terrific fold full band calle mumford and sons. he's been on the fascist radar for some time now. if years ago he said something about georgia peterson that doesn't mean that winston marshall is a right-winger, he probably isn't, but it suggests you might be a freethinker whic as we noted as a massive threat to the fraud industrial complex. the other date winston marshall went too far. he praised and he knows new boo about in t5. note he describes it as what it is, a credible mob, but you can't do that right now because it suggests there might be something wrong with hurting people in order to get what you want. so they decided to destroy winston marshall and today they just succeeded. over the past few days i've com to better understand the pain i caused of the book i endorsed obviously he wrote this at gunpoint, but he still wrote it. i have offended not only a lot of people i don't know, but als those closest to me including m bandmates and for that, i am truly sorry. as a result of my actions, liking a book, i'm taking time away from the bn to examine my blind slats. so he's leaving his job, anothe victory for the fascist on the internet. that's one way to handle attack on speech, just surrender, that's what most people do. the guy that used to host the bachelor may never work again, his crime? no one even knows what he did wrong. he apologized for it anyway. there is another way to handle those attacks. he left his job on the british morning show after failing to b sufficiently impressed by that whiny duchess from la complaining about how hard her life's. peers morgan knew what the script was supposed to be, oh, you poor oppressed duchess, but he refused to read it, so now he's unemployed. today, he issued this statement on monday i said i didn't believe meghan markle and her oprah interview, i had time to reflect on this and i still don't. if you did, okay. freedom of speech is a hill i'm happy to die on. things for all the love and hate , i'm off to spend more time with my opinions. like winston marshall, piers morgan is out of a job tonight, but unlike winston marshall, morgan told the truth, he refused to let the mob make him a liar, and that is an inspiration to all of us. he just reminded the world that some things are more important than having a job. like your dignity in your self-respect. history will treat him well. good for you. >> according to the new york times, no one, absolutely no on is allowed to mention the name of their star tik tok reporter because it's harassment. read her tweet online, you are threatening her safety. we will tell you the whole stor and who exactly she is, that is all straight ahead. i mean i know it's silly, but i have an image. ya know, 6 foot 5, 300 pounds. so the thought of getting a hearing aid, i was.. i was scared. for the last couple years i've been having real hearing loss. all i knew from the past was seeing folks with big things on their ears, so i didn't want to be that guy. one of the joys of my life is riding my motorcycle with my wife. if you're not confident riding a motorcycle, you could get in trouble. i would always have to turn, so i could hear better, that was a... that was bad. and i just kept fightin' it. with lively, did a hearing test on the computer. when they sent them in the mail they were already set up for me. the whole process was so simple. right away lively started working. my confidence is 100% boosted, it's night and day. this little thing right here, has made me whole again. a test in minutes, hearing aids in days, better hearing in no time. get started today at listenlively.com this thing works, ya know. i can hear again. so many people are overweight now and asking themselves, "why can't i lose weight?" this thing works, ya know. for most, the reason is insulin resistance, and they don't even know they have it. conventional starvation diets don't address insulin resistance. that's why they don't work. now there's release from golo. it naturally helps reverse insulin resistance, stops sugar cravings, and releases stubborn fat, all while controlling stress and emotional eating. at last, a diet pill that actually works. go to golo.com to get yours. ♪ >> newspapers generally tried t keep themselves out of the news. they don't weigh in to defend their own reporters unless something very serious as happened. when a correspondent is being detained by soldiers or when someone has been kidnapped by isis in syria, but you don't se it in response to criticism fro a cable news show. today the new york times made a exception to that role and jump ferociously to the defense. we told you about taylor last night and segment about how the most privileged in our society now consider themselves oppressed. she is certainly as turning example of that principle. and new york times reporter fro greenwich telling you what a victim she is. earlier this week she sent a tweet asking america to celebrate international women's day by supporting her specifically as she faces what she describes as a year-long campaign of harassment that harassment has destroyed my life . now, normally we would be dimly sympathetic to this, harassment is awful into crime and it should be a crime, if the mob o screaming lunatic showed up at her house and threatened her, w would condemn that mob immediately, no matter what political position they claim t represent. but that's not even close to what she is talking about. according to taylor, saying mea things about her on twitter is harassment. disagreeing with her on the internet at all is quote harassment, feeling to affirm her as she self actualize as an attempts to realize her hopes and dreams in this world is harassment and so on. there is a lot of real harassment out there, this is not it. you can see where we included her in the script about the mos privileged in our society pretending to be the most oppressed in our society. we were embarrassed for her. she spends her entire life on the internet, so of course afte a while you become a deeply unhappy narcissist, that's what the internet does to people. we assumed her bosses would be embarrassed for her to come out little did we know they are exactly like she has, of course they are and that's the problem. people who run the new york times believe anyone who disagrees with them is committing assault. here is their official statemen on our segment, and a now familiar move, tucker carlson open to show last night by attacking the journalist. oh, a journalist, the one protected group left in america. journalist make their living trying to destroy their life, but if you say a single word about it, you're a criminal, a moral monster and must be stopped. this statement goes on, as we read this, we're not making thi up, criticizing taylor was a calculated and cruel tactic which carlson usually deploys t have vitriol and target. it's all pretty amusing when yo think about it. reading a tweet on television, that's fine when it was written by say donald trump, it's calle reporting, but when that tweet was written by a new york times reporter, reading it out loud i a calculated and cruel tactic. calculated to do what exactly? presumably calculated to get most people to disagree with taylor which they've already established is harassment. it's a pretty good little skim. they get to hurt you at will, but you're not allowed to notice . notice what they're doing, and your calculated and cruel. we know this because we experienced it this summer. the times tried to send a reporter to my house just to make absolutely certain that everyone knows we're my kids live. i called the paper and told the to back off, there was no news value and where my houses, it's not even a big house. the whole thing was bizarre and creepy, but they ignored the request. they only stop the story when w shamed them on their show. to be clear, we would never eve consider running a series on where new york times editors live, obviously commit that is disgusting. what country if this? but they tried to do it. the best part is what happened after. the washington post jumped in with a piece claiming this show had incited dangerous harassmen by asking the new york times no to write a story about where my houses. we are endangering reporters. the same reporters who are trying to write a piece about m house. they sent out that same, washington, post story. the new york times described it as an anatomy of an attack by carlson that had real-world consequences. it was pure insanity. that as still not the most amazing part of the story. the greatest irony up of all of it is what taylor herself does for a living. according to the new york times statement today, she is a talented new york times journalist doing timely and essential reporting. timely and essential. okay. thanks for the adjectives. what kind of reporting is it exactly? what does taylor do all day? we could answer that question a some length. instead, we decided to back off a little bit and at ask sean davis of the federalists who ha followed this closely. thank you so much. now that we know that taylor is not only having her life destroyed because people disagree with her, but is even more destroyed because we pointed out that pete it is destroyed because people are disagreeing with her. >> that's a great question. i think she would chase she writes about internet culture and text, when in reality, she' the journalism equivalent of th creeper creeping by the schoolyard asking if they want any. she stocks teenagers on the internet, and this isn't my opinion, she says as much and she even talks about how if she were a dude doing what she were doing, people would think it's kind of creepy. in the interest of equality, i would like her to know, what you're doing is creepy and it has nothing to do with what gender you are or not. i know that she had reached out personally to the daughter, the 15 -year-old daughter of a former trump administration official, and spoke to her personally by talking to her parents first. i didn't even know that was legal. you're telling me she's done it with other children? >> wright, ed she admits as muc that she sometimes finds it difficult to really get with th kids really want to tell her because sometimes the parents get involved. remember, this is a reporter or a journalist, whatever you want to tell her that jobs the children of improved free-speec activist that was targeted for assassination by, so what she's doing, some people might call i journalism, i would call it garbage with no real value whatsoever. she harasses kids in teenagers and gets them to say things so she can basically mind them in her clips. >> what's interesting and maybe we shouldn't be surprised is sh surprising her critics of doing the same thing that she does fo a living which is to invade people's privacy and hurt them on purpose. >> she went over a tech titan, one of the founders of netscape and accused him not one, but twice of saying things on clubhouse a conference call platform things he never ever said, she accused him of using slur and when she got called ou for that, she doubled down and later accused him of allegedly plotting with a white supremacist on clubhouse to tak her down. something that didn't happen because not only did he not speak in this particular conversation, he certainly didn't bring anything up about white supremacist. what happen is when these littl totalitarians get mad at you in a accuse you of harassing them are being violent, what they want is to avoid any accountability for their own action. they use their identity as a sword and shield. i can say things you, but you because of my identity, but you can't come after me because of my identity. >> they are not aggressive, the are passive-aggressive, they're not canine, their feline. if you are tweeting out that your life is being destroyed, you need to take a break. seriously. you need to take a break and step back may be from your job or whatever it is because healthy people don't write things like that on the internet , do they? >> i don't think adults do. people saying mean things about you on the internet, it may be should be an adult and just ignore it. >> why don't you get off this stupid internet. i found joy in that. that cable was ignored at the time, but we have a. >>tucker: in late 2017, early 2018, american diplomats met with scientist. at the time the u.s. government was funding it. according to a new report and politico, the scientist admitte they didn't have the technician's necessary to safel operate the lab great american diplomat sent back to washingto to request help, viruses in tha lab could kill everyone on the planet. the diplomats also told washington the chinese scientis had identified bat corona viruses that could easily infec human cells. for some reason, washington appears to have ignored those warnings. he's been saying this very enjoins us tonight to assess what it means. congressman, thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you for having me on. >>tucker: it sounds like the u.s. government knew that a virus like the one that devastated this country could escape from the lab. >> it's unfortunate it those ar all true and i read the report myself, that there we're mistakes that were made, and to think that such a highly transferable transistor bold disease, virus could not have the safeguards, not have the protection, not having people properly trained is unconscionable, but frankly, they were doing things that we're brought out in the articl and i've read elsewhere as well including the u.s. government when they put on january 15th the important information about what was happening, and that wa that they were trying to boost the transmissibility of the disease. not necessarily to send it out to the world, but that, to make something more highly contagiou than it already is, better have every safeguard humanly possibl so it does not escape. >> i'm wondering, given all the evidence that is accumulated, this may have come from this lab , why aren't more people demanding that we find out exactly what did happen. >> many of us are, but there ha been unfortunately, a view expressed by many that some hav the who is on the job and they are complicit in the early cover-up the dictator of the communist party in china, and even now, a group of people the may not even put out the report soon because it seems to be filled with holes. there needs to be a completely unfettered access to all the information to talk to people without fear of retribution if they talk to the investigators to get that. why do we need that? accountability and that's what most concerned about. i introduced a bill that would give us the ability to sue individuals who have been harme by that the communist party there to get the information. >> i'm sure it's the only refor democrats have ever backed. >> remember, the template is that bill. >> i hope you get it through. congressman smith, it's great t see you tonight. thank you very much. >> purse they came for dr. seuss , and then speedy gonzales, and then dumbo in peter pan. there is been another major escalation in the war on american culture. you may think it doesn't matter but it absolutely does matter. mark stein joins us after the break. >> tucker: turner classic movies announced a new series scrutinizing classics like psychoand gone with the wind. according to turner we see problems in these films whether it's about race, gender or lbgtq issues. mark stein a movie goer joins us now. do you see problems? >> if you look at psycho, and think it's a problem, you are the one with the problem. we are not allowed to enjoy these movies if they plain first why you are not meant to enjoy them. they don't want to cancel because they are too profitable so they will lecture on what you are not meant to enjoy. it's a hypocrisy of what i would like to see that wonderful film -- sorry, it's interesting to explore the deep systemic roots of american racism. there are much better movies on cnn. you may recall this classic from brian who was nominated for next month's oscars for best animates shorts. >> tucker: [laughing]. >> i think that will be one of the more interesting categories to watch this year. >> tucker: i am subverted by you and our producers. i said don't put him on tv if his underwear because it's too hard on the wires. >> we are all in youtube boxers. that's techni color wide screen magnificence. >> tucker: mark stein, thank you very much. well, that's it for us tonight. we are moving on. back tomorrow night. 8 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think. sean hannity takes over. .>> sean: it's traumatic for the audience. you are not sorry. welcome to "hannity." tonight we are tracking multiple breaking scores including horrific details from the 6th woman accusing andrew cuomo of
