>> Embracing news we never expected to report.
Black Lives Matter is now more popular than the President of the United States.
And not slightly more popular than the president, much more popular.
A survey this week by Rasmussen, a right leaning pollster, found that 62% of likely voters
now have a favorable opinion of black lives matter.
Same time Rasmussen found that Donald Trump's approval rating was 43%, that's almost 20
points lower.
The numbers are astounding, but the polls are not the only measure of it.
Here's a Black Lives Matter rally from over the weekend in New York.
Look at that picture.
That is an ocean of people.
Ask yourself the last time you saw a candidate for office who was able to draw a crowd like
that.
>> I love that so much, but I don't know if that was intentional but I don't know what
bracing news is.
He is probably like bracing for impact, I have no idea.
I don't think that was intentional but it seems like he's panicking.
And I love that he saw that video and absolutely hated it.
>> Yeah, I mean, listen, the conservative ideolgy, as it was from its foundation Edmund
Burke and all that.
It was basically a way to stamp down popular uprisings.
I mean, that's just what it is.
So when they see something like these Black Lives Matter rallies, it's horrifying to them.
It's absolutely horrifying.
Any expression of popular mass democracy is antithetical to the Conservative id on some
basic, fundamental level.
And Tucker Carlson, you're right, Tucker Carlson, he's not Sean Hannity, he's not Ducey or these
other idiots from Fox News.
He's actually very clever.
He's very clever at absorbing left wing critiques of the establishment and kind of warping them
around into this like right wing framing.
And that always gives his critiques much more weight as a result, right?
Like people are like, because like no one buys right wing orthodoxy like it's just fundamentally
unpopular.
Tucker Carlson usually can weave it more effectively into something that is, does look like a sort
of critique at the system that looks more substantial.
But really it's these moments where he just kind of absolutely melts down and the whole
thing kind of comes apart.
It's hilarious.
>> It really is, and if you look at, look, I have to be honest because we've covered
Black Lives Matter and police brutality for such a long time.
And it felt like we were climbing Mount Everest with like, people, they're constantly pushing
us down, because it just felt like no one agreed with us.
And it was devastating to constantly report on these stories show all of this horrific
video and feel like the majority of the country wasn't on board.
But if you look at the recent polling, this is exactly what Tucker Carlson was talking
about.
And in this graph, you can see that Black Lives Matter has far more support than people
who disagree with the movement and don't support them.
And so this is what he's panicking about.
Right now, Tucker is shocked that so many people are behind this movement.
And since it's Tucker Carlson, he is, of course, gonna call black people scary because that's
what he does, take a look.
>> The media in their relentlessly fawning coverage usually describe Black Lives Matter
as an activist group or a protest movement.
But that's deception by understatement.
Black Lives Matter is not a collection of marchers with signs.
It's not a conventional political lobby like Planned Parenthood or the NRA.
It's not pressuring Congress to pass some narrow new set of laws.
Black Lives Matter is far more ambitious than that.
It is working to remake the country and then to control it.
It's a political party.
As of tonight, Black Lives Matter may be the single most powerful political party in the
United States.
Nobody says that out loud but politicians understand it perfectly well.
If nothing else they understand power, they can smell it at great distances.
And that's why they're lining up to bow before black Lives matter.
>> Nando like, okay, I love how he's like, no, they're actually not activists.
They're not pro.
This is a political party.
Like he get, he gets to decide how to label these protesters.
I guarantee you that even within this movement, there are disagreements about political candidates
and other political issues.
It doesn't matter like the fact that he's trying to label this as something that, in
his mind, is scary, it's just incredible to me.
Like there's nothing scary about this movement other than how powerful it is and how it's
forcing politicians who have only listened to their donors to bend to the will of the
protesters.
Which finally, the average American has more of a say when it comes to a particular issue
than those who have the money and the resources.
>> Tucker Carlson, in this case, is taking the playbook straight out of the 1960s in
the American right wing in the 1960s.
When there was like an absolute panic about the Black Panther Party.
The Black Panther Party look much like, I mean, they were holding guns and like military
hats and stuff and they were dressed in fatigues.
Like they were like, in a way like I could see like how you could be much more afraid
of them.
There's Black Lives Matter, like Trump is like no one is armed.
It's the scary element is absolutely gone from that.
But that's the reflex is like it's very fascinating how he talks about how their goal is to take
over the country and control it.
Like it says like some sort of revolutionary, guerrilla group from the cold war.
Again, I think that couldn't be further from the truth but obviously, like it does.
It can resonate with certain people who see these things and are like, my god, like they're
gonna take over, I don't know, my house or something.
You know what I mean?
But this is not what's happening at all.
It's very obvious.
These guys are holding signs and they're like, in many ways polite.
This is not what it was in any way, shape or form back then.
And it's just hilarious to see him equate it to some sort of violent insurrection movement
that's gonna take him over.
>> Well, I mean, look, you mentioned the civil rights movement and the civil rights movement,
just like the movement that we're seeing today is about power.
It's about the power of people to live in a society free of excessive force, police
brutality, state sponsored violence, right?
And Tucker Carlson knows that and he sees this as a zero sum game in a lot of ways.
I think that he sees this as a shift of power to the very people whom he has loved not having
power, historically in this country.
In fact, he talks about that in a way, in this next clip because he's very concerned
about racists who have lost their jobs because of some of their reaction to Black Lives Matter.
Take a look.
>> Yes, black lives do matter, that is a statement of fact and no decent person doubts that it
is true because it is.
And it's true precisely because every life matters.
We are all human beings, every one of us.
We have souls.
Skin color is irrelevant to moral value.
Until recently, this was considered obvious, saying it was regarded as a virtue.
All lives matter equally.
All of us were created by God.
In the end, all of us will die.
Nothing can change that, not wealth, not fame, not race.
Every life is precisely as valuable as every other life.
By the way, that idea forms the basis of the Christian faith.
It's the entire premise behind our founding documents.
And yet suddenly, thanks to Black Lives Matter, you can no longer say it out loud.
Affirming the fundamental of quality of all people is now considered hate speech.
>> All right, there's a lot of problems with what you said there.
Number one, no one, literally, no one has gotten fired for saying all lives matter and
nothing more.
Okay, no one.
There was a ridiculous pro-Trump protests in Miami Lakes Florida over the weekend, devastatingly
embarrassing.
And the rhetoric coming from the white Cubans in South Florida is so utterly disgusting
and embarrassing.
And I'm beyond proud of my husband for coming from that type of hateful, gross community
and having enough common sense to understand that that ideology is wrong and toxic.
And so just wanted to give a shout out to my husband, Christian, you are the ball.
And for the Miami Lakes Cubans, just understand that Trump and all of Trump's cronies do not
see you as white, okay?
>> No, they hate you, yeah.
>> They hate you.
They see you as immigrants that have infiltrated this country and need to be kicked out.
And it's incredible to me that they moronically protested in support of this disgusting president.
But anyway, that was my rant on that.
But let me just mention, no, Tucker no one believes for a second that you believe that
all lives matter.
How many kids died in border cages?
And he loved that.
He loved Trump's zero tolerance policy at the border.
He's so full of it.
>> Yeah, I mean, that's the thing like.
Like I said earlier, Tucker Carlson loves to take sort of traditional left wing values,
okay?
The traditional left in theory is like Humanist and believes that like every single human
being, every single life on Earth has worth.
Therefore, that's why like imperialism is bad, for example.
Like you can't just murder people on the other side of the world to serve your like imperial
purposes, right?
That's just a fundamental thing but he, obviously, doesn't believe that, right?
He's just using that kind of very noble sentiment to twist it around for his own nefarious purposes,
right?
And that's just like what's so frustrating about him in so many ways like, he doesn't
actually believe that all lives matter.
And it's not like the way that that's being used is just so twisted and not, it's so far
away from the spirit of it.
And the fact that he mentions that it's the foundational principle of this country, shows
how full of crap he is, right?
Yeah, it said all men are created equal but there's slaves.
How does that compute, right?
So this idea that and what happens with like these right wing critiques about like the
sort of willful ignorance around racism is that it leads to these kind of weird conclusions,
right?
Because you cannot deny things like the wealth gap.
You cannot deny the statistics that black men are disproportionately killed by police,
right?
Yes, a lot of people are killed by police in this country and that's a problem, but
it's a disproportionate amount of black people.
The racial wealth gap is bigger than it has been in decades.
So what conclusion, if there is no racism baked into the system, then what conclusions
can you draw from that?
>> Mm-hm, well, I mean, we've heard that.
>> It's like that they're dumber or lazier, like that's how you start to get into trouble.
Like it has to explain in some way.
>> That's why people like Dave Rubin are paid handsomely to have horrible individuals like
Stefan Molyneux, come on, and talk about skull sizes, right?
If that's the ideology, it' like, no, we don't want to take ownership of the fact that we
live in a deeply racist society with systemic racism baked in.
Rather than take responsibility for that, let's just pretend and purposely misinterpret
the science to call out various groups of people as inherently inferior.
It's disgusting.
>> Yeah.
>> God.
>> Yeah, I mean, >> You got it, yeah.
>> No, and I think one thing that they latch on to, is that because we live in the kind
of society that we do and where everything is kind of seeing through the eyes of corporations
essentially.
And what ends up happening with a lot of these kind of very genuine anti-racist sentiments
is that they get turned into like a giant HR department.
You know what I mean?
And it's like that's why you're seeing this whole anti racism industry existing that's
basically to sell themselves to companies to protect themselves from racist claims,
right, claims from employees for racism.
So what they do is they have to legislate all these little interactions between employees
and that's people at the end of day hate that stuff.
They hate HR departments.
The HR departments suck, HR departments work for management, they don't work for you, right?
They're not looking after you.
They're looking out for the corporation's best interest.
That's why everyone on some fundamental level knows that they're foolish.
And that's they latch on to that aspect of it.
And I think that there's like some sort of genuine critique of that to expound on a much
bigger thing, which like, the numbers are there.
They're obvious and irrefutable, like the racial wealth gap is something that is just
you can't look at it and come to any other conclusion that is.
If you agree that there is no sort of difference in terms of, some people are dumber than others.
Then the only inclusion is that the system itself is racist and that's where the focus
should be on.
