Tucker Carlson is used by all sorts of far right extremists to essentially
parrot this message that only leads to an incitement of violence.
And the latest example is a radio show host named Pete Santelli who is insane.
So let's take a look at how he uses Tucker Carlson to amplify a call for violence.
>> Let's go to Tucker Carlson listen to how he breaks this down, okay?
And how ridiculous things are.
He's not gonna call for 100 million people to take up arms, okay?
To defend our nation.
I am, okay?
I'm not afraid to.
I mean, at what point do we take everything that Tucker goes over every
single night?
And start recognizing that we need a leader to get a bunch of people organized
to put down this rabid communist dog?
>> He's very clear Jank.
I mean, he doesn't in any way try to conceal that he wants violence,
that he believes in inciting violence,
that he believes in using violence to get what you want.
He in the past has said that he wants to shoot Hillary Clinton and Obama.
He said, quote Barack Obama needs to be tried, convicted and
shot for the crimes against the United States of America.
And if anybody has a problem with that, then you are an enemy of our state.
He also said, you need to understand that what I said was very clear.
I didn't want Hillary Clinton to die.
I want her to suffer painfully right in front of me after she's convicted for
committing crimes against humanity.
Now, the penalty for
which I would volunteer to shoot her right in the vajayjay.
He said, I want her to remain alive.
I don't even want the death penalty for that.
He also called Sandy Hook a satanic sacrifice ritual.
He's been arrested and he actually spent time in prison in the past.
So he engages with militia members.
I mean it just goes on and on.
He was arrested in 2016 and pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and
he served a 14-month jail sentence as a result.
But none of that stopped him.
He's still out there making all sorts of crazy conspiratorial claims while inciting
violence clearly and openly.
>> Yeah, and this is a nightmare.
And I keep doing the titanic reference because people in the media think,
this is America, we can't sink.
I was told us that the titanic is unsinkable.
And so they see the polls where 40% of Republicans say that it might be time for
violence.
40% of Republicans, that's tens of millions of people across the country.
As so Tucker Carlson called for his audience to quote,
rise up and then Santilli says, quote, we must stand and
literally put our lives on the line for a free and fair election.
Anybody who stands between us and a free and fair election shall perish.
They're talking about killing us.
Now we don't stand in the way of free and fair elections.
You do, we believe in actually fixing those elections should go and join wolf
pack if you wanna do it the right way, left wing, right wing, it doesn't matter.
They're fighting for free and fair elections.
These guys go no, we'll kill people.
We interpret as being as free and fair elections.
Well, what's your interpretation of free elections?
Trump should be president, no matter what.
So that means you're gonna try to kill anyone who doesn't think Trump should be
president no matter what.
So they're gonna start killing people.
They already look the guy shows up with a giant truck, van bomb or whatever he was.
In DC, they planted pipe bombs on January 6th they raided the Capitol.
We've shown you now dozens of cases of right wing extremists doing terrorism.
Tucker Carlson did a segment that the Santilli guy loved going,
where's the white right wing extremism?
Nobody ever talks about it.
Well, there are dozens of examples.
You just don't talk about it on your show, then you pretend it doesn't exist.
But here they are, egging it on very very clearly, this is going to end in disaster.
>> And I mean he's just one of many.
I mean, we've shown so many examples and it ends up being
reflected in the way Republican voters respond to polls.
So look the first time one of these polls came out.
Showing that a sizable portion of the Republican electorate believes
that they need to resort to political violence to take the country back.
I thought, all right, look, it's one poll, and
sometimes in polls like this, people don't take it seriously, and
they like answer in ways that they don't actually feel.
But know that poll has been that result has been replicated in other polls.
And you can understand why when you see so many elements of right wing media,
even if it's like little rinky dink shows like this guys having an impact.
Changing people's minds or at least persuading people to think that
the country was taken from them, that the election was stolen from trump.
That everything is falling apart and
crumbling because of the political opposition, that the political opposition
is full of child molesters and they're the enemy of the state.
I mean, all of these crazy conspiracy theories and talking points, all of these
efforts to incite violence leads to right wing violence in the country.
We've already seen it play out, and it's only gonna continue getting worse because
it seems like they feel emboldened to keep doing this.
It's an incredible.
>> There's a reason why, because nobody is stopping him.
>> Right.
>> So, I mean, this guy said that the very specific political leaders
should be shot and killed.
Look, authorities looked into it to be fair, right?
And there was a tiny hand slap here.
But at some point, they gotta look, we're independent and
we are deeply against the establishment.
We do not want the heavy hand of the government regulating speech and
the press, right?
But you can't go out there and say kill that person.
The government has to do something about that,
otherwise they will kill that person.
There's got to be some sort of law and order here and rule of law.
Look, Tucker is smart enough that he doesn't say it like this moron, and
says, go shoot them in the generals or whatever, right?
Tucker just generally talks about how you have to rise up and
the government is tyrannical.
And you remember what our founding fathers did and make sure you have your guns and
Second Amendment.
And my God, they're trying to destroy democracy by not making us win every time,
no matter what the results are.
You should be super angry about that and make sure you have your guns with you.
But he didn't say, go shoot X, or Y.
So he knows exactly how to incite violence and
terrorism while not getting punished for it and not having any consequences.
So he's gonna keep on doing it and keep on doing it.
And they're all basically encouraging cross
burnings on our lawns as a way to intimidate us.
And in this case, its threats of violence and violence itself.
And don't forget, there was a pipe bomb guy, right?
Under Trump.
He sent it to the press, he sent it to the politicians,
he sent it to anyone that dared to disagree with Trump.
They're constantly doing it and there's barely any consequences.
