I CHECKED TV GUIDE.
TICKER: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME
TO TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT.
IF YOU’VE BEEN WATCHING THE
NEWS, ONE THING FOR CERTAIN
ABOUT THE ACCUSED GUNMAN IN THE
MASSACRE IN COLORADO IS HE WAS A
CRAZED RIGHT WING ANTI-TRANS
EXTREMIST.
THIS IS MAN RADICALIZED BY THIS
SHOW AND THE TWITTER ACCOUNT
WITH TIKTOK TO HATE
TRANSGENDERED PEOPLE AND THAT’S
WHY THIS MAN WALKS INTO A BAR, A
GAY BAR WITH A GUN, AND STARTED
MURDERING PEOPLE.
STARTED DOING THAT BECAUSE HE
WAS TIGHT BY RIGHT WING MEDIA
OUTLETS TO DYSTOPIAS AND FEAR
THE -- DESPISE AND FEAR THE
TRANS AND WE NEED TO NEVER
PROVOKE THIS HORRIFYING VIOLENCE
EVER AGAIN.
THAT’S THE REAL LESSON OF THIS
MASS SHOOTING.
SO THAT IS WHAT THEY’VE BEEN
TELLING YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
AND WE’RE NOT OVERSTATING IT.
>> IT’S A CAMPAIGN DRIVEN BY
CONGRESS AND INFLUENCERS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE NEWS ATD
FOX NEWS.
>> THE INCIDENTS A FEW MOMENTS
AGO, THEY HAPPENED WITHIN THE
CONTEXT CONSERVATIVE MEDIA
PERSONALITIES SPEAR MONGERING
AGAINST QUEER FOLKS.
>> RESPECTIVE MESOSAENGERS
FROM -- MESOANGERS FROM PEOPLE A
SAYING WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF
THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND
VICTIMIZED AND DEMONIZED BY
RIGHT WING MEDIA AND
REPUBLICANS.
>> ANTI-LGBTQ RHETORIC ON THE
FOX NEWS AND REGULAR CLIP
AGAINST THE U.S. MILITARY
AGAINST GAY MEN AND WOMEN, AGAINST GAY TEACHERS, AGAINST
AGAINST GAY TEACHERS, AGAINST
THEIR RIGHT TO EXIST.
>> THEY’RE ADVOCATING AGAINST
THEIR RIGHT TO IT.
THEY’VE BEEN CALLING FOR
GENOCIDE.
THAT WOULD BE US.
THAT’S A STOUT CLAIM BUT NO ONE HAS MADE IT MORE OFTEN THAN NBC
HAS MADE IT MORE OFTEN THAN NBC
NEWS.
THE CREEPY WEIRD TEACHERS TAKING
OUT THE ORAL SIX TO 9-YEAR-OLD
AND IT’S HATE AND GETS PEOPLE
KILLED AND HIGHLY EMOTIONAL BEN
COLINS OF NBC NEWS MAKING THAT
VERY POINT YESTERDAY MORNING.
>> AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG
HERE?
HERE’S SOME HEADLINES THAT I
WROTE THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
FUELED BY FAR RIGHT MACHINE,
ANTI-LGBTQ SHUT DOWN TRANS
RIGHTS AND DRAG EVENTS.
THERE’S A DRAG EVENT HAPPENING
IN COLORADO.
>> WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT PUBLIC
OFFICIALS AT LOCAL LEVELS, STATE
LEVEL, FEDERAL LEVEL WHO TRY TO INJECT THE FEAR OF THE VERY WORD
INJECT THE FEAR OF THE VERY WORD
TRANSGENDER INTO SCHOOL ISSUES.
>> THEY END UP ON TUCKER
CARLSON.
HE ATTACKED MY COHORT, BRANDY.
HE WENT RIGHT BACK INTO THE IDEA
THAT THEY IS TRYING TO GROOM
YOUR KIDS, TRYING TO SEXUALIZE
YOUR CHILDREN; RIGHT.
WHO’S THE THEY FIRST OF ALL? SECOND OF ALL, ALL OF HER
SECOND OF ALL, ALL OF HER
REPORTING WAS RIGHT.
IT WAS ALL RIGHT. RIGHT.
TUCKER: IT’S ALL ABOUT ME.
HOW DARE ANYONE CRITICIZE THE
DISINFORMATION REPORT AND FORMER
COLLEGE LIBRARIAN BRANDY BECAUSE
HER REPORTING WAS RIGHT HE SAID.
SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP, BEN
COLINS, WAS HER REPORTING RIGHT?
WELL, NOT ENTIRELY.
REMEMBER WHEN BRANDY TOLD YOU
SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES THE
ACCUSED SHOOTER WAS INSPIRED BY
HATRED FOR THE NONBINARY
COMMUNITY HE LEARNED ON THIS
SHOW?
REMEMBER THAT?
ACTUALLY IT TURNS OUT WE
DISCOVERED LAST NIGHT THAT THE
SHOOTER IS DRUM ROLL PLEASE,
PART OF THE NONBINARY COMMUNITY.
DOESN’T HATE THEM, HE IS ONE.
IN A COURT FILING, HIS LAWYERS
WROTE ANDERSON ALDRIGGE IS
NONBINARY AND USES THEY/THEM
PRONOUNCE AND WILL BE ADDRESSED
AS MIX ALDRIGE.
THAT’S THE SHOOTER.
NONBINARY SHOOTER.
LET THAT SINK IN.
GET IT UNDER CONTROL AND PONDER
WHAT THIS MEANS IT.
MEANS VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING THAT
NBC NEWS HAS TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS
SHOOTING IN COLORADO IS NOT ONLY
WRONG, IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE
TRUTH.
IT IS ALL A GROTESQUE AND FILTHY
LIE.
IT WASN’T NEWS REPORTING.
IT TURNS OUT TO HAVE BEEN THE
MOST TRANSPARENT SORT OF
POLITICAL PROPAGANDA AND FOR
ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN BUSTED FLAT
OUT IN PUBLIC TO SELF-PROPAGANDA
TO THE PUBLIC UNDER THE GUYS OF
NEWS.
NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY’VE DONE
IT.
THEY WON’T STOP DOING IT BUT
THEY DID IT A LOT IN THIS CASE.
HERE’S ANOTHER CLIP.
ANOTHER INSTANCE OF BEN COLINS
TRYING TO ONCE AGAIN PASS OFF
POLITICAL SLOGANS AS NEWS.
>> THERE ARE FIVE DEAD PEOPLE IN
A STRIP MALL BECAUSE THAT’S THE
ONLY PLACE THEY FELT SAFE AS
GAYS OR TRANS PEOPLE IN THIS
DOWN IN COLORADO SPRINGS.
TUCKER: HE’S EMOTIONAL.
THERE’S FIVE PEOPLE IN A STRIP
MALL BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY PLACE
THEY FELT SAFE IN THE TOWN OF
COLORADO SPRINGS.
TURNS OUT IT’S THE TOWNS FAULT
TOO BECAUSE THEY’RE A LOT OF
CHRISTIANS, EVERYBODY KNOWS IN
COLORADO SPRINGS, SO GAY PEOPLE
FEEL TERRIFIED THERE BECAUSE
CHRISTIANS ARE DANGEROUS.
ALL THESE TERRIFIED GAY PEOPLE
WERE HUDDLED TOGETHER FOR SAFELY
WHEN THE FOX NEWS ADD -LED
TRANS-BIGOT STARTED SHOOTING
THEM FOR BEING TRANS FOLK.
THAT WAS BEN COLIN’S
"REPORTING".
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS NOT ALL THE
VICTIMS WERE GAY.
AT LEAST ONE OF THEM WAS AT THE
CLUB WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND.
OH, DETAILS.
DETAILS.
BEN COLINS DOESN’T WANT DETAILS
GETTING IN THE WAY OF EFFECTIVE
POLITICAL ATTACK AND HAD NOT
REALITY INTERCEDED BUT HE
DOESN’T CARE.
THERE’S THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS TELLING YOU
THAT A NONBINARY PERSON SHOWED
UP AT A GAY BAR, YOU CAN’T OWN A
GUN.
>> THIS ATTACK COMES AMID A RISE
IN VIOLENT RHETORIC AND THREATS
OF THE LGBTQ PEOPLE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
WHILE WE DON’T KNOW YET FOR
CERTAIN THE MOTIVE OF THE
ATTACK, HATE HAS NO PLACE IN
THIS COUNTRY AND NEITHER DID
MILITARY STYLE ASSAULT RIFLES.
WHICH IS WHY WE WILL CONTINUE TO
PUSH FOR AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.
TUCKER: WHEN THE TRANS COMMUNITY
OPENS FIRE ON ITSELF, WE NEED AN
ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN BECAUSE
YOU’RE A HATER.
PETE BUTTIGIEG COULDN’T PASS UP
A MOMENT LIKE THIS.
IT’S NOT LIKE PETE BUTTIGIEG
WANTS TO TALK ABOUT HOW THINGS
ARE GOING OVER AT THE
TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, WHICH
HE SUPPOSEDLY RUNS.
SHORT ANSWER, NOT WELL.
NO, PETE BUTTIGIEG WANTS TO TALK
ABOUT IDENTITY.
HE ALWAYS WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
IDENTITY.
AND THE FUNNY IRONIC THING IS
WITH JUST A FEW YEARS AGO,
BUTTIGIEG WOULDN’T ADMIT HE WAS
GUY.
HE HID THAT AND LIED ABOUT IT
FOR REASONS HE’S NEVER BEEN
ASKED TO EXPLAIN.
WHY NOT?
WHATEVER, NOW HE USES HIS SEXUAL
ORIENTATION TO BASH YOU.
HERE’S THE LATEST -- IF YOU’RE A
POLITICIAN OR MEDIA FIGURE
SETTING UP THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
TO BE HATED IN FEAR BECAUSE YOU
FOUND IT USEFUL, DON’T YOU DARE
ACT SURPRISE WHEN HAD THIS KIND
OF VIOLENCE FOLLOWS.
DON’T YOU DARE ACT SURPRISED. DON’T YOU DARE.
DON’T YOU DARE.
FAIR ENOUGH, WE WON’T DARE.
WE’RE A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT
THE TRANS SHOOTER IS IN FACT
BINARY AND ATTACKING OTHER
PEOPLE ON FALSE PRETENSIONS.
GUESS WHO ELSE HASN’T
APOLOGIZED, BEN COLINS OR
BRANDY.
YESTERDAY THEY WERE ACCUSING US
OF GETTING FIVE PEOPLE MURDER
AND NOW THE STORY THEY WERE
TELLING HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A
LIE AND THEY’RE PRETENDING
NOTHING HAS CHANGED AT ALL.
THEY’RE LIARS.
COLD-BLOODED LIARS.
IT’S AMAZING TO WATCH.
SO IS THE COMPANY THEY WORK FOR.
NBC NEWS RAN THIS ARTICLE AFTER
HE OWE THAT THE SHOOTER WAS
HIMSELF TRANS.
THEY RAN THIS WITH A STRAIGHT
FACE, RIGHT WING INFLUENCERS AND
MEDIA DOUBLED DOWN ON LGBTQ
RHETORIC IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLORADO SHOOTING.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WRITING THAT
KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW?
THERE’S NO PROBLEM WITH IT AND
EDITOR AT NBC ADDED THIS "IF THE
SHOOTER IS NONBINARY, IT DOESN’T
CHANGE THE FACT THE RIGHT WING
MEDIA IS CONTINUING TO BESTOW
HATRED OF FIVE PEOPLE WERE
KILLED AT A GAY BAR.
IT’S HATRED.
IF YOU’RE AGAINST GENERAL
MUTILATION OF CHILDREN OR
BRINGING TODDLERS TO DRAG SHOWS
AND YOU’RE AGAINST THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
OF COURSE THAT’S INSANE.
HOW ARE THE REST OF MEDIA
HANDLING THIS.
FOR HIS PART, IT’S DENYING THAT THE SHOOTER IS NONBINARY.
THE SHOOTER IS NONBINARY.
COULDN’T BE.
>> ATTORNEYS FOR THE ACCUSED
SHOOTER SAY IN NEW COURT FILINGS
TONIGHT TO THE SUSPECT NOW
IDENTIFIES AS NONBINARY.
IN A FOOTNOTE TO A MOTION ASSERTING LEGAL PRIVILEGES, THE
ASSERTING LEGAL PRIVILEGES, THE
PUBLIC DEFENDERS SAY "ANDERSON
ALDRICH IS NONBINARY.
THEY USE THEY/THEM PRONOUNS.
>> SOUNDS LIKE THEY’RE TRYING TO
PREPARE A DEFENSE AGAINST THE
HATE CRIMES.
>> IN THIS CASE, IF THE SHOOTER
CLAIMS TO BE NONBINARY, GOT TO
BE LYING ABOUT IT.
IT’S NOT REAL.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO CALL THE
NONBINARY SHOOTER MIX OR OBSERVE
HIS PRONOUN REQUEST.
THE WHOLE PRONOUN THING IS GONE.
BIOLOGY IS BACK.
HE WAS BORN A MAN AND STILL A
MAN.
THEY’RE USING THE MURDER OF
PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL REASONS AND
NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY’VE DONE
THAT AND HAPPY TO USE DEATH FOR
POLITICAL ADVANTAGE, LOOK AT
GEORGE FLOYD.
IT’S NOT THE MOST RECENT ANTIGAY
ATTACK BY THE WAY THAT’S TURNED
OUT TO BE A TOTAL LIE
PERPETUATED BY THE MEDIA.
A FEW DAYS AGO A GUY WAS CAUGHT
THROWING A ROCK AT A GAY BAR IN
HELLS KITCHEN, NEW YORK, ON
CAMERA THE.
OWNER SAID IT FEELS LIKE A
MANIFESTATION OF HATE AGAINST
THE COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA
ACTS RAN WITH THAT STORY.
MORE HATE, MORE HATE.
THIS IS THE STORY THAT DIDN’T
GET QUITE AS MUCH COVERAGE AND
POLICE ARRESTED THE GUY THAT DID
IT.
HIS NAME IS SEAN KOULIAN AND HE
WAS UP SATE BECAUSE OF A FRIEND.
WE’RE QUOTING FROM THE ROCK
THROWER, I’M GAY MYSELF. I MEAN COME ON.
I MEAN COME ON.
SHOULDN’T SOMEONE APOLOGIZE?
AND ADMIT THEY GOT THE FACTS
WRONG AND SLANDER HALF THE
