WORLD.
>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING.
WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT."
HAPPY MONDAY.
A STORY FROM OR THE WEEKEND.
5:00 A.M. SATURDAY MORNING
MANHATTAN, A PARKING GARAGE
ATTENDANT NOTICED A MAN PEERING
IN TO PARKED CARS LOOKING FOR
THINGS TO STEAL.
THAT’S A FAMILIAR SCENE IN NEW
YORK CITY.
ALVIN BRAGG, THE LOCAL SORROWS
FUNDED D.A. HAS DECIDED THAT
PROSECUTING CAR BURGLARIES IS A
FORM OF WHITE SUPREMACY.
AS A RESULT, CAR BURGLARIES HAVE
RISEN.
THE ATTENDANT IS NOT WHITE BUT
HE’S SICK OF WATCHING PEOPLE GET
ROBBED.
SO HE TOLD THE PEOPLE TO LEAVE.
IN RESPONSE, THE MAN PULLED OUT
A HAN GUND AND FIRED FOUR TIMES.
IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
SOMEHOW HE HAD THE PRESENCE OF
MIND TO WRESTLE THE GUN FROM THE
MAN AND FIRE BACK BEFORE THE MAN
COULD SHOOT HIM OR ANYONE ELSE.
BY THE TIME POLICE ARRIVED, BOTH
MEN WERE LYING ON THE SIDEWALK
BLEEDING.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED NEXT?
IN A SCENE SELF-RESPECTING
SOCIETY, HE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED
A MEDAL IF NOT A TICKER-TAPE
PARADE.
IN NEW YORK, HE WAS ARRESTED AND
CHARGED WITH WITH POSSESSION OF
A GUN, THE SAME GUN THAT WAS
USED TO SHOOT HIM.
HE WOKE UP IN BELLEVIEW HOSPITAL
SHACKLED TO HIS BED.
THE "NEW YORK POST" RAN THIS
PICTURE.
IT’S OF HIM SOBBING.
I GOT BULLETS IN ME AND I’M
CHAINED TO A HOSPITAL BED BUT I
DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
YOU CAN IMAGINE HIS CONFUSION.
THIS WAS NOT THE COUNTRY HE
EXPECTED.
IN FACT, HE IS EXACTLY THE KIND
OF PERSON YOU WANT MORE OF IN
YOUR COUNTRY.
HE’S 57 YEARS OLD, STILL WORKING
HARDER THAN MOST YOUNG PEOPLE
DO.
IN FACT, WHEN NEW YORK SHUT DOWN
DURING COVID, LAWYERS AND
NONPROFIT EXECS HIT IN THEIR
DEPARTMENT AND LIVED ON
DOORDASH, HE WENT TO WORK EVERY
DAY LIKE AMERICANS USED TO.
THE MAN THAT SHOT HIM BY
CONTRAST DOES NOT HAVE A HISTORY
OF GOING TO WORK EVERY DAY.
HIS NAME IS CHARLES RHODE.
WE CHECKED.
HE’S GOT A RAP SHEET OF A DOZEN
SERIOUS CRIMES THAT GO BACK MORE
THAN 20 YEARS.
AS OF SATURDAY AT 5:00 A.M., HE
WAS IN JAIL.
HE WAS WALKING AROUND NEW YORK
WITH A GUN LOOKING FOR MORE
THINGS TO STEAL.
IN THE END, ALVIN BRAGG DROPPED
THE CHARGES AGAINST DIARA.
HE MADE THE POINT CLEAR TO
EVERYONE.
IN A NEW SOROS INSPIRED JUSTICE
SYSTEM, DECENT PEOPLE ARE THE
CRIMINALS AND THE CRIMINALS ARE
A PROTECTED CLASS.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS.
THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE UNLEASH
CHAOS IN OUR CITIES.
IF YOU DARE TO PROTECT YOURSELF
OR YOUR FAMILY FROM THAT CHAOS,
YOU WIND UP IN HANDCUFFS.
WHAT IS THIS? THE NAME OF THIS SYSTEM OF
THE NAME OF THIS SYSTEM OF
GOVERNANCE IS ANARCHO TYRANNY.
SINCE TAKING OVER, BRAGG HAS
INCREASED THE NUMBER OF FELONY
CHARGES HIS OFFICE DROPS BY 40%.
THAT INCLUDES ALMOST HALF OF ALL
DRUNK DRIVING CHARGES.
IT’S NO LONGER REALLY A CRIME TO
DRIVE DRUNK IN NEW YORK CITY.
THAT’S THE ANARCHY PART.
FOR THOSE THAT STEP OUTSIDE THE
POLITICAL LINES, IT’S TYRANNY.
YOU’LL REMEMBER THE MIDDLE AGED
BODEGA CLERK.
HE WAS SENT TO RIKERS ISLAND,
ONE OF THE WORST PRISONS IN THE
WORLD FOR DARING TO DEFEND
HIMSELF AGAINST A LUNATIC TRYING
TO MURDER HIM.
SO THIS VERY SAME SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM THAT IMPRISONED JOSE ALBA
SYSTEM THAT IMPRISONED JOSE ALBA
AND CHAINED DIARRA BED IN THE
SOROS BACKED SYSTEM, IS PUTTING
JOE BIDEN’S MAIN OPPONENT ON
TRIAL FOR A CRIME THAT ISN’T
REALLY A CRIME.
SO FOR OUR EXISTING LEGAL
SYSTEM, THIS APPEARING TO BE A
POINT OF NO RETURN.
YOU’D THINK THE MEDIA WOULD
POINT THAT OUT.
THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM THE
WOULD NOT THE COUNTRY HAS RUN
FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
THEY’RE TOO DUMB, TOO SHALLOW
AND ABOVE ALL, TOO
SELF-INTERESTED.
TRUMP’S UPCOMING ARRAIGNMENT IS
NOT A TURNING POINT IN THE LEGAL
SYSTEM.
IT’S ANOTHER CHANCE TO FOLLOW
TRUMP AROUND IN THE HOPE THAT
RATINGS WILL RETURN.
THIS WAS CNN ALL DAY TODAY.
>> WE ARE I’M BEING TOLD -- THAT
IS DONALD TRUMP LEAVING
MAR-A-LARGO ON HIS WAY TO CATCH
A PLANE THAT WILL LEAVE TO
NEW YORK WHERE HE WILL A LIVE
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
WE’RE WATCHING HISTORY UNFOLD ON
YOUR SCREEN.
DONALD TRUMP ENROUTE TO THE
AIRPORT AND A COURT DATE IN
NEW YORK, BECOMING THE FIRST
EVER FORMER PRESIDENT TO FACE A
CRIMINAL INDICTMENT.
>> THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT.
WE JUST WARMED THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
A FORMER PRESIDENT LEAVE HIS
HOME HEADED TO NEW YORK TO BE
ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
>> WE’RE WATCHING ON OUR SCREEN
AS TRUMP’S MOTORCADE HAS NOW A
REID ON THE TARMAC AT PALM BEACH
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
>> HEADING UP IN THE AIR AND
BACK TO HIS HOME STATE OF
NEW YORK.
CERTAINLY NOT THE KIND OF
HOMECOMING THAT HE HAD EVER
IMAGINED WHEN HE WENT BACK FROM
FLORIDA TO NEW YORK.
BUT HE IS HEADING BACK ON A
HISTORIC FLIGHT.
AGAIN, NOT NECESSARILY A PART OF
HISTORY THAT DONALD TRUMP OR ANY
FORMER PRESIDENT WOULD WANT TO
MAKE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
LEARNED IS TO NOT PUT EVERYTHING
AT AN 11, NOT MAKE EVERYTHING
THE BIGGEST DEAL.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
>> Tucker: OH, THIS IS A BIG
DEAL.
WE GET TO TALK OVER LIVE
PICTURES WHAT WE WERE TRAINED TO
DO IN LOCAL NEWS.
WELL, IT IS A BIG DEAL ACTUALLY.
IT A VERY BIG DEAL.
BUT THE GUARD RAILS ARE GONE.
NOBODY IN THE MEDIA IS POINTING
OUT THIS IS A HUGE CHANGE IN OUR
LEGAL SYSTEM AND NOBODY IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN WASHINGTON
EVEN THOSE WHO ARE A LITTLE BIT
CONCERNED WHERE THIS MIGHT BE
HEADING DARES SAY ANYTHING AT
ALL BECAUSE ALVIN BRAGG IS OF
COURSE A HOLY PERSON AND NOBODY
WANTS TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE
CROWD ON TWITTER.
SO THIS IS ALL HAPPENING IN SLOW
MOTION.
OF COURSE, WE’RE GETTING THE
DUMBEST POSSIBLE LECTURES FROM
CABLE NEWS.
WE LEARNED NOT TO PUT EVERYTHING
AT 11:00.
IT HILARIOUS.
THEY CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE IT A
BIGGEST DEAL ON THE SHALLOWEST
POSSIBLE LEVEL.
THE REASON IS ECONOMIC.
SINCE TRUMP LEFT OFFICE, CNN HAS
LOST MORE THAN 60% OF ITS
VIEWERS.
THEY’RE DESPERATELY TRYING TO
SELL THE CHANNEL BECAUSE THEY KEEP TANKING.
KEEP TANKING.
SO THEY HAVE EVERY INCENTIVE TO
SENSATIONALIZE EVERYTHING.
SO YOU HAVE A D.A. DOING THIS TO
TRUMP.
WHAT IS HE GUILTY OF?
THEY DON’T TELL YOU.
ALL THEY TELL THEIR EAGER BY
SMALL AUDIENCES THAT THE WALLS
ARE CLOSING IN ON CAREER
CRIMINAL DONALD TRUMP.
THEY’RE GOING TO TURN TRUMP’S
MOTORCADE TO O.J.’S BRONCO
BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY’LL BE OUT
OF A JOB BECAUSE NOBODY WATCHES
THEM ANYMORE.
LOOK AT THE PLANE, LOOK AT THE
MOTORCADE!
BEFORE LONG, OUTLETS LIKE CNN
MAY BE YOUR ONLY SOURCE OF
INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRIAL.
THAT’S THE SCARY THING.
IMAGINE THE SYSTEM WHERE THE
PERSON IS IN CHARGE IS NO LONGER
ALLOWED TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
OH, ARE YOU SEEING THE
CONNECTION HERE?
LIKE THE PARKING GARAGE
ATTENDANT SHOT BY A CRIMINAL.
HE GETS ARRESTED.
LIKE JOSE ALBA WHO TRIED TO SAVE
HIS OWN LIFE IN A BODEGA HE GETS
ARRESTED.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THE VICTIMS
DON’T GET TO SPEAK.
CNN SPEAKS FOR THEM.
IMAGINE THAT.
THERE’S MULTIPLE REPORTS TONIGHT
THAT ALVIN BRAGG’S OFFICE WILL
SEEK A GAG ORDER.
THAT WOULD PREVENT TRUMP FROM
TALKING ABOUT HIS CASE IN
PUBLIC.
CNN AND MSNBC AND "THE NEW YORK
TIMES" AND "THE WASHINGTON
POST," THE COMPLETELY FILTHY
CORRUPT LIARS IN THE MEDIA,
THEY’LL BE ABLE TO SAY WHATEVER
THEY WANT.
BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEIR
COVERAGE DOESN’T INFLUENCE THE
JURY.
ONLY THE ACCUSED DEFENDING
HIMSELF.
IT’S NOT ONLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL
BALDLY SO, BUT IT’S COMPLETELY
IMMORAL.
IN THE MIDDLE OF A PRESIDENTIAL
RACE, ATE SUB VERSION OF
DEMOCRACY ITSELF.
THE OTHER LEADING CANDIDATE
DOESN’T GET TO TALK OR YOU SEND
HIM TO PRISON?
WHERE ARE THE HISTORIANS TELLING
US ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE
ARCHITECTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY,
OUR DEMOCRATIC NORMS IS.
THAT A DEMOCRATIC NORM?
SILENCING THE OTHER PARTY’S MAIN
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ON PAIN
OF GOING TO JAIL?
BUT THEY LIKE THE POWER.
THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
EXERCISE IT UNTIL SOMEBODY STOPS
HIM.
TODAY THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY
A GRAVE DISAPPOINTMENT, WE
THOUGHT WOULD BE A GOOD MAYOR
HAS PRESIDENT BEEN A GOOD MAYOR.
IT SAD.
SO TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE
HOURS HE SPEND AT BARS AT
NIGHTS, HE’S DECIDED TO BECOME A
POLITICAL CELEBTERTY.
HE’S THREATENING TO JAIL
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IF SHE
PROTESTS DONALD TRUMP’S
ARRAIGNMENT IN A WAY THAT HE
DOESN’T LIKE.
WATCH THIS.
>> WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME REBEL
ROUSERS THINKING ABOUT COMING TO
OUR CITY TOMORROW, A MESSAGE IS
CLEAR AND SIMPLE.
CONTROL YOURSELVES.
NEW YORK CITY IS OUR HOME, NOT A
PLAYGROUND FOR YOUR MISPLACED
ANGER.
PEOPLE LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREEN, WHO IS KNOWN TO SPREAD
MISINFORMATION AND HATE SPEECH,
SHE STATED SHE’S COMING TO TOWN.
WHILE YOU’RE IN TOWN, BE ON YOUR
BEST BEHAVIOR.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW VIOLENCE ON
VANDALISM OF ANY KIND.
IF ONE IS CAUGHT PARTICIPATING
IN ANY ACT OF VIOLENCE, THEY
WILL BE ARRESTED AND HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
>> Tucker: UH-HUH.
NEW YORK CITY IS OUR HOME.
THAT’S WHY WE LET PEOPLE CRAP ON
OUR SIDEWALK AND HOOKERS TURN
TRICKS IN THE ATMs.
YOU’RE INCOMPETENT.
PEOPLE LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE WHO IS KNOWN TO SPREAD
HATE SPEECH.
WHAT IS HATE SPEECH?
SPEECH THAT POLITICIANS DON’T
LIKE.
THERE’S NO HATE SPEECH IN THE
CONSTITUTION.
IT’S MADE UP.
POLITICIANS DIDN’T USED TO DARE
TO TALK LIKE THIS BECAUSE
SOMEONE WOULD SAY SLOW DOWN, WE
HAVE A BILL OF RIGHTS.
BUT THOSE PEOPLE ARE HIDING.
LIKE MANY, THEY’RE TOO AFRAID TO
SAY WHAT IS TRUE.
SO YOU GET TO JAIL A FORMER
PRESIDENT ON SOME FAKE CRIME FOR
PAYMENT HE MADE SEVEN YEARS AGO
THAT WAS COMPLETELY LEGAL.
ONCE YOU GET TO DO THAT, YOU GO
AFTER ALL YOUR POLITICAL ENEMIES
WITH THE FORCE OF LAW.
THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE DOING.
NOBODY IS STOPPING THEM.
TODAY FOX NEWS LEARNED THAT
MERRICK GARLAND’S DOJ IS SENDING
SUBPOENAS TO TRUMP’S SECRET
SERVICE AGENTS AS PART OF THE
PROBE IN THE HANDLING OF
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
IF THERE WAS EVER A FAKE CRIME,
IT’S THIS.
EVERYONE WHO HAS SERVED IN
ALWAYS FROM HILLARY CLINTON TO
MIKE PENCE HAS ADMITTED TO
BRINGING HOME DOCUMENTS IN
VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
WE HAVE A BILLION CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS.
2% OF WHICH DESERVE TO BE
CLASSIFIED.
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN AND
CORRUPT AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
THEY’RE USING TO STOP SOMEONE
FROM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
OKAY.
IS THAT OKAY WITH THE DEFENDERS
OF DEMOCRACY?
THEN THERE’S THE GRAND JURY
FOREWOMAN IN GEORGIA GOING ON
MSNBC SAYING WE’RE INVESTIGATING
TRUMP FOR SAYING THE WRONG
THINGS ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION.
SO THEY WANT TO TAKE OUT TRUMP,
BUT IN A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM, YOU
DO THAT BY CONVINCING PEOPLE TO
VOTE AGAINST HIM.
IN A TYRANNICAL SEASON, YOU USE
PEOPLE WITH GUNS TO STOP HIM
FROM RUNNING.
THAT’S WHAT WE’RE SEEING.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE TRUMP AND HAVE
NO INTENTION OF VOTING FOR HIM,
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT
BECAUSE THAT’S DEMOCRACY.
ANYBODY THAT TAKES IT WAY IS A
