A person who is intent on committing violence is very hard to stop under any
circumstances.
An act of Congress isn't gonna do it, neither will gun control.
There are more guns in this country than there are people there always have been.
However, you feel about that fact,
you can acknowledge that we will never get rid of all of those guns.
The constitution prohibits that and
you would set off a civil war if you tried to do it.
>> That of course, was Tucker Carlson who never misses an opportunity to
talk about civil war to incite the possibility of a civil war.
It's what he likes to do, he loves to spout the white replacement theory
conspiracy, it's his bread and butter, that's who Tucker Carlson is.
And on the heels of a tragic mass shooting where 21 people in fourth
grade classroom were shot and killed by a mass shooter.
He decides to mention civil war if anyone dare to suggest common sense gun reform.
Now, before we get to some of the other conservatives who are also
spouting violence in response to what's going on right now.
Let's go on to the next clip that shows Tucker Carlson alleging that the N R A,
which has caused this mess is actually very powerless.
>> The NRA declared bankruptcy last year, the NRA is a husk In 2021, for
example, the tech companies spent more than $70 million lobbying Congress.
Big Pharma spent 92 million lobbying Congress in the first quarter of
2021 alone.
The N R A, spent just 2.2 million total lobbying in all of
2020 a presidential election year.
Now, that's honestly more of the same Bs that you are likely to hear from Tucker's
show and if you're wondering why Tucker cited statistics or numbers from 2020,
there's a really good reason why.
Why did he avoid talking about 2021?
I mean we're in 2022.
Well the N R A is a powerful lobbying organization in American politics,
spending nearly $5 million 2021.
The year that Tucker decided to ignore to pressure lawmakers to oppose measures like
universal background checks for gun sales.
And bans on powerful assault weapons by the way,
$5 million is still not nearly as much as other industries.
And yes the N R A is in the midst of a financial issue like financial troubles.
But there are other gun lobbying groups that are pouring money in
the coffers of our elected lawmakers to avoid any legislation.
Common sense legislation that yes would have prevented a shooting
like the one we just experienced in Uvalde Texas.
Okay, for instance, maybe not allowing an 18 year old to buy assault
weapons like an A R 15, maybe reconsidering high capacity magazines.
Maybe actually doing these background checks that wouldn't actually impact
this shooting because he didn't have a criminal record and
a mental health professional didn't red flag him.
But there were certainly potential common sense regulations
that could have prevented this from happening.
But the pro life crew just loves watching kids get gunned down as long as
they get to protect the gun lobby and
the precious resources that get poured into the coffers of these lawmakers.
>> Okay, So let me break down the lives one by one as quickly as I can.
He said, the gun control wouldn't have prevented it,
as if it was a fact that's not remotely a fact.
Every other country has gun control and they don't have mass shootings, so
it actually does prevent it.
That's a fact, he said the exact opposite.
He lies, so matter of fact, we then he went on to say there have always been more
guns in this country than people.
Also not true, not remotely true.
In fact, we reported on the show a couple of years ago when we had a situation where
finally there were more guns than people in the country.
That's mental and that's why we made a note of it and it wasn't always that way.
You hear about all the Wild Wild West, we've always done,
the shootout at the OK Corral killed two people.
And at the time they thought that was so outrageous,
it became the legendary shootout at the OK Corral.
That was the Wild Wild West when they thought two people dead was a big deal,
19 kids dead.
No, the country has gotten way more violent, way more guns and
Tucker pretends that's not true.
>> It's what our founders would have wanted Jake our founders, the founders of
this country would have wanted 19 kids to be gunned down in fourth grade classroom.
That's the freedom that they were hoping for.
>> So that brings me to the founders perfectly.
So he said, well,
of course the constitution prohibits this as if it prohibits gun control.
Well, the Second Amendment, they always talk about it, but
have you ever read the Second Amendment?
I'm sure a lot of you have, but no right winger has actually read it.
It says a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It is very, very clear, it is for a well regulated militia.
They weren't shy about it, they put it right there, a well regulated militia.
Well, in fact, it's the only part of the constitution that talks about regulation,
it says, guns must be regulated.
Instead they flipped it on its head saying guns must not be regulated and
everybody takes it.
And because our reporters are the worst in the world that we have by far
the worst reporters in the whole world.
All they do is kiss the ass of the powerful because the Democrats
are the worst party in history.
They had never even quote the Second Amendment to anyone,
they just surrender instantly right, now in the final and most important line.
So Anna alluded to this, he says Dayanara,
I mean Hoskins know now what does he leave out?
He leaves out the entire gun lobby that in the last several
decades has spent $190 million.
Do you think they spend $190 million dollars for their health or
to buy politicians so that there will be no gun control.
>> So convenient that he left that out.
>> And on top of that they spend another $50 million direct campaign to
scummy politician Ted Cruz has taken $440,000 from the gun lobby.
And just in the last election 2020 it's funny how Tucker Carlson left us out cuz
he was talking about 2020, right?
So how about the gun lobby overall?
And in fact the N R A, the NRA alone spent $12 million campaigning as Biden and
another $4.5 million in favor of Donald Trump $16.5 million.
Do you remember the point where Donald Trump in his presidency after one of these
shootings?
So you know what?
I don't care about the NRA, I'll even hold them accountable.
And I we came on the show and said we predicted he will back down from that,
Trump never backs down from anything, right?
And the very next day he came out and reversed himself.
Why? Because he talked to the NRA and
then already said we'll give you tens of millions of dollars.
>> Remember who's bitch you are trump?
Remember who's bitch you are.
Mr. Magger, Mr. Tough Guy, he's the NRA bitch.
Just like all these other elected lawmakers.
I will say something else though it is interesting that the NRA,
spent so much money lobbying against Joe Biden.
Did they think Joe Biden was gonna get elected and do something?
>> Yeah, that was silly of them.
>> That was very cute, very cute.
In fact if NRA was smart they would actually fund Joe Biden instead of
Donald Trump.
That's more subtle, Joe Biden will let you do the same exact things as Trump and
he will give you the appearance of someone resisting you.
So it'll seem like we're having a conflict in a debate and we're in a democracy,
we're not in a democracy, they bought all the politicians.
So last thing Tucker did the what about ism did you know that other lobbies
spent more money?
Yeah of course we reported on it all the time and we think that's horrible,
we think that's bribery.
How come you never report about it when they're doing something wrong and
then all of a sudden you're protecting their corporate ass?
But now when it's convenient you wanna protect the gun manufacturers,
you all of a sudden say, hey,
can you believe the bribery that happens in other parts of the government?
Yeah, we've been reporting on it for 20 years, you've been covering it,
covering up board for the last 20 years.
When you were on CNN and MSNBC and Fox News at all three places,
Tucker Carlson was like, no, I don't see money in politics.
No, I think it's wonderful when corporations bribe politicians and
he never says that and
all of a sudden he found out there's gambling in this establishment.
Yeah, Tucker nothing but lies.
Do you think he's bothered by 19 dead kids?
>> He sends his kids to boarding school.
He's not worried.
>> You know? >> Why would he be worried?
He's untouched by everything that were tortured by.
>> He never had to live through what we've lived through, you know why?
How about him?
He went to a Swiss boarding school and in Switzerland they have
very tight gun control and ended the boarding school, he was perfectly safe.
He didn't have to worry about it, he's the heir of the Swanson fortune.
And what with the cops rush into his house of course he's rich,
they would protect him instantly.
And it's interesting because when the people did a vigil,
just a candlelight vigil in front of the Supreme Court justices houses Tucker and
everybody else was like, this is an outrage.
Can you believe the violence of a vigil?
But when 19 kids are murdered, he says, no big deal.
Don't worry about it, don't do anything.
He's sick.
