Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight Happy Wednesday. Well, it looks like this is the part of the revolution where they start throwing their political opponents in jail. That was fast. It was just a week ago. They were telling us about unity. Remember that! Well, we didnt know at the time that everyone with power should unite against the rest of the country. Unity meant oligarchy. Oh Doug Mackey learned that the hard way this morning he is a 31 year old, conservative journalist from Florida at 700, a dot m FBI agents showed up at his house, come up through him in handcuffs and into a cell. He now faces ten years in prison. His crime. He made power dont, make fun of powerful Democrats on social media. He made a coordinated use of

social media to spread disinformation relative to the two thousand and sixteen presidential election. This disinformation often took the form of memes. Yes, online, mockery. It is now illegal when its aimed at the wrong people. Doug Mackey hurt their feelings, so they put them in prison. He violated eighteen section, two hundred and forty one. He did this by tricking people like the trickster. He is into not voting in the presidential election. What is interesting is the prosecutors showed no evidence whatsoever that Doug Mackey actually tricked anyone into any thing voting or not not a single person, but that doesnt matter shrieked to CNN Doug Mackey is a bad person with bad views and by the way we have no idea what his views are. We dont care. What CNN is telling us is that those views are a crime

hes a criminal, lock him up given a longer sentence than we given a longer sentence than we give him to hold on a minute. As a legal matter have you ever read section two hundred and forty one? Probably not, but you should. When you read it, you will learn that Joe Bidens Justice Department is lying in an obvious way and that should make you nervous. It turns out that federal law does not ban memes or, for that matter, misinformation. The law that they are citing and instead prohibits conspiring to injure oppress, threaten or intimidating anyone from exercising the right to vote according to law. That would include kidnapping voters invading their homes sexually abusing them. He didnt do anything like that. Anything close to that he made memes

speech is violent. What does this mean for the first amendment? Well, it means that it is effectively suspended. You can now be arrested for saying the wrong thing at at 700, p, DOT M one journalist was actually arrested. For that. No one is defending him. He had bad thoughts, he deserved it. They think it is okay that shouldnt surprise you, because we are clearly living under some form of martial law at the moment. How do we know that? Well, here is one. There are currently ten thousand troops in our capital city tonight. How long will they be staying? No one is specific about any of that, so you are left to draw your own conclusions, which people naturally are by the way its not making anyone more moderate. If you are really worried about extremism, you probably want to put ten thousand troops in your capital city, making everyone more radical and crazy, but they dont care about that. The point of this whole highly militarized exercise. It

toisto remind you of what, unfortunately, that is true in every country at all times. Chris Murphy is no genius, but he does understand that, as he explained today. As long as his political opponents exist, though soldiers will stay, the threat to the country is not over right. We still have five thousand National Guard members surrounding the capitol complex. Why? Because there are still existing threats, present threats to the security of the capital, and so so long as Donald Trump is empowered by Senate Republicans, there is still the chance that he is going to incite another attempt at the capital. The threat is still very real to american democracy. Okay. So as long as there are people in this country who persist in disagreeing with Chris Murphy, we are going to need to keep heavily armed soldiers on the scene. Why question MIKE and we are quoting now-

the threat is still very real to american democracy, but wait. Democracy requires soldiers. We thought it was voluntary if you are starting to think that maybe someone secretly redefined the term democracy changing its meaning to roughly one hundred and eighty degrees from what it was just last year. You may be onto something what we are looking at now is not democracy in the classical athenian science, where everyone gets to vote and the voice of everyone matters equally. No, we are looking at now democracy in the 1970s Eastern Bloc peoples, Democratic republic. This new version of democracy is where everyone agrees with the people in power, or else they go immediately to jail. His problem is that he didnt properly understand what democracy is. Thankfully, congressman TIM Ryan of Ohio does understand it and he explained it to us today. We are not letting, though soldiers go home, TIM Ryan said, and until they do what our speci

operations forces did in Iraq and Afghanistan watch this who, in our government in our military, has had experience around crowd control, maybe special operation forces in Iraq and Afghanistan like how can we learn everything? We need to learn to reset the posture on Capitol Hill Esther Mark and we are not going to let the National Guard go home. National Guard go home. We are not going to create an unsafe environment until we have that figured out the one. Oh, oh, are specialists in controlling unruly populations. We get it rather than answer our questions or improve our lives. You are bringing in people with guns to remind us that you are in charge, thats a big change. You may have thought you were a decent American in good standings they werent extreme. Then

you dont think you are constrained now youve always considered yourself. A pretty moderate person live your life and get along with others thats not possible. Now, because the rules have changed, you are now a dangerous insurgent. You are no different from a bloodthirsty or an ISIS terrorist. You are part of a guerrilla. You are part of a guerrilla insurgency or maybe its a gorillia. Some of those leaders seem suspiciously furry. Here is the mastermind the jihadi known by the Chewbacca guy, hey bleep, hey man, good to see you guys. Look at this guy. Do you need medical attention you good, sir?

I got shot in the face with some kind of plastic bullet. I am disrespecting the place sad news tonight. Chewbacca guy is no longer available for your kids, seventh birthday party hes in prison tonight when they do Sandy Cortez, will breathe easier back during the great terrorist siege of January. She found herself in the same city as Chewbacca guy appear literally in the same city, trapped and abandoned, just like those lonely valiant troops. So many years ago she really thought she was going to die. I had a pretty traumatizing event happen to me. I can tell you that I had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die

so thankfully they have arrested Chewbacca guy and arrested his band of terrorists over sixty five years old. So there is still a little justice in this country, but they are not the only threat that he faces tonight. Far from it, they are the other members of Congress. Some of them are Republicans, and you know what that means. At any moment, these people are likely to open fire indiscriminately. On the house floor purely out of racism and shes worried about that listen, we still dont feel safe around other members of Congress. How many are we, I think, a very considerable amount. The moment you bring a gun onto the house floor in violation of rules, you put everyone around you in danger. I dont care, if you accidentally set it off. I dont care. If you intentionally set it off, I dont care. If you dont set it off at all. You are endangering the lives of members of Congress

and it is absolutely outrageous that we even have to have this conversation. Its outrageous absolutely outrageous said the leader of Americas Narcissism Party, the fastest growing party in the country, even on the house floor, surrounded by other elected members of Congress, democratically elected Sandy Cortez, does not feel safe. That is why we need tens of thousands of troops outside her office tonight so that she can finally, for once, take a breath and get back to the business of making perky Instagram videos about herself the business of the people. It must go on. Of course, it must appear. We all support that talking about the people, you got to wonder what they think about all of this, the actual people. None of this is about the people who are actually suffering in our country, the millions of them. No. We are watching one of those rare revolutions rare in world history that is being waged not on behalf of the population, but

against this. All of this is being done expressly for the oligarchs none of it is being done for you, of course, if you live in Washington to see you already live very well. Federal troops are not protecting your home tonight. Sandy Cortez doesnt care, if you get robbed or carjacked as more and more people are as prime skyrocketed Sandy Cortez and her friends want to abolish your police. Not their police here is a scene from the rest of the city of Washington. Duncan was fifteen months old when he was fatally shot Wednesday night in southeast, his father was driving the vehicle, and the toddler was strapped into his car seat when he was struck with bullets. A preliminary investigation pointed out at least two people open fire on the car. As he drove by the toddler was struck with bullets in his car seat right next to his father, this happened in Washington, D, DOT c within walking distance of the capital,

but no one inside that dome building the ones you are so afraid of. Chewbacca man noticed or cared so. Whatever else you conclude from this, this tale of two cocities to dip into a cliche here is one thing you can be certain of its not actually violence that Sandy Cortez and her fellow.
