‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ host reacts to the sentencing of January 6 protesters.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
So, on Tuesday, three days ago,
a 53 year old, hair salon owner
from Indiana called Donna Sue
Besi, was sentenced in a federal
courthouse in Washington.
As the day began, it seemed
pretty obvious that Donna Besi
was not going to go to prison.
Even Joe Biden's Justice
Department had recommended
probation.
That's because the crime she was
accused of committing was not
serious by any measure. The crime
was quote, parading,
demonstrating or picketing
in a capitol building that would
be on January. Six. Donna Besi did
not set fire to any property. She
didn't attack police officers.
She didn't hurt anybody. She
paraded as she thought, was her
right as an American, then
the sentencing began and very
quickly.
It became clear that Donna Besi
would not be going home to her
family and her hair salon. Again,
the topic is, if anything
she did on January six,
it's because of what she
believes: a Doj prosecutor,
a fascist, called Joshua,
Rothstein, labeled Donna, Besi,
a quote avid consumer
of conspiracy theories, including
that Covid is a quote hoax
pandemic. Apparently, according
to this prosecutor, you're not
allowed to believe that
believing that is a crime.
It's a thought crime and you can
go to jail for it. Keep in mind
again. This was ostensibly
a trial about what happened
on January six, the physical facts
of that day. The judge also heard
that Donna Besi is not
vaccinated against Covid nineteen
and, of course, that's a crime too.
It's a thought crime. She needs
to go to jail,
and so she is now you remember.
Last year the government
released thousands of inmates
telling us it was to protect
them from the coronavirus, but no
such sympathy was extended
to Donna Besi of the hair salon
in Indiana quote it's one thing
to believe in conspiracy
theories in your basement.
The fascist prosecutor said
it's another thing to act out
on them, really he's a shrink now
to. In the end,
the judge overruled
the prosecutor's recommendation
of probation and sent on ABC
to prison for the crime of quote
parading in the capitol building
and for disputing the official
narrative on Covid. That's now
a crime and Don Abysses life is
now ruined she's in jail.
What's interesting is that, just
a few months ago, Don Abysses
friend, a woman called Anna
Morgan Lloyd, was sentenced
to probation for the exact same
offense that would be parading
in the capitol.
So why the difference now? Well,
here's the difference. Unlike her
friend Donna, a appeared before
a judge called Tanya chunk, Tanya
chunk donated many thousands
of to Pacs, supporting Barack
Obama and then Barack Obama
in exchange appointed her
to the federal bench in twenty fourteen
where she has been a disgrace
ever since a real disgrace
in the last few months, chunk has
repeatedly overruled prosecutors
to impose long prison sentences
on Jan six defendants. That would
include Robert Bauer of Kentucky
Edward Hemenway of Virginia
Matthew. Masoko of Texas, Anthony
chunk is not the only run
running political show trials
in or formerly free country,
the one in which you were
guaranteed equal treatment under
the law, but
no longer receive it.
There's another Barack Obama
appointee Beryl, Howell
who's, repeatedly overruled
prosecutors to punish Jan six
defendants, far more harshly than
even the Doj asks. For now. This
is unequal justice. By any
measure, it contradicts
the central principle
of our legal system
and our country, which is
we're all citizens and all
of us, stand equal before the law.
It's not about what you believe.
It's about what you do. It has
nothing to do with who you vote
for nothing to do with who you
listen to on the radio or watch
on television.
It has to do with whether you
violate law, but that's no longer.
What has to do with should know
that none of the code pink
protesters who stormed Senate
buildings during the Kavanaugh
hearings wound up in jail.
Of course, not they
weren't tossed in solitary
confinement. Another were
the self described
environmentalists who just
raided a federal building
in Washington. This is footage.
From yesterday at the Department
of the Interior Watch well come
on the water shut down, my brain,
you can't get back up and stand
up. Don't do this don't do this,
and that, ladies and gentlemen,
is the single worst attack
on our democracy since 9 11,
Pearl Harbor and the sort
of civil war? Oh no, it's not
we're not liars. It is what it is.
You just saw it: go inside, go
inside chant the rioters
they're in video trying to push
through a police barrier
so by the standards now set
by the behavior on January six.
That is an insurrection against
the government.
So how did our government
respond to what you just saw?
Well, the department
of the Interior under Joe Biden
just issued a statement that
refused to condemn it
or the rioters we're quoting
directly. The interior department.
Leadership believes strongly
in respecting and upholding
the right to free speech
and peaceful protest. End quote:
oh so they're not
insurrectionists
they're peaceful protesters
because they voted for Joe Biden.
This is what happens when law
enforcement becomes partisan.
This is the nightmare scenario.
This is the country you
don't want to live in.
This is the country that judges
you, on the basis of who you vote
for and will put you in jail
if you vote the wrong way. This
is not a defense of any criminal
conduct that occurred on January
six, but the events of that day
keep in mind were an organized
demonstration against
the unequal enforcement of law
in this country. For the past
four years, and that's exactly
what we have seen period,
that's not a partisan point.
That's true! And anyone
who's awake knows it's true,
and yet, instead of heeding
the call wait, people are upset.
What are they upset about? Maybe
we should fix the disparity
our leaders doubled down
on unequal treatment under
the law, which is what
they're doling out in even
bigger helpings. At this point,
so criminals with the right
politics suffer no consequences.
In some cases those criminals
are put in charge of enforcing
the law themselves. Here's one
example:
the former deputy FBI director
Andrew Mccabe Mccabe, admitted
lying to federal investigators.
That's a felony by the way,
unlike parading in the capitol,
but Andy Mccabe was never hauled
off to jail. Never lectured about
his vaccine status by some
lunatic prosecutor. In fact, Andy
Mccabe just got his federal
pension back and he's bragging
about it on television to have
a settlement of this lawsuit
and one that so clearly
indicates. This should never have
happened. It is both
an incredible relief.
It's it's satisfying,
but it's also. You know it's also
kind of sad. I mean like this.
Should never have happened.
My family should never have had
to go through this. This is
the current department
of Justice standing up
for fairness. What
you're the country's second
in line in our biggest law
enforcement agency
and you've admitted committing
a felony, and all that happened
to you was that you lost
your padded federal benefits,
and you say that was unfair
and you're still whining about
him. Even after you got it back.
Are you the same Andy Mccabe who
destroyed MIKE Flynn's life
and bankrupted him tried to send
him to prison on a charge
of lying to federal
investigators? Yes, that
charge was in fact engineered
by Andy Mccabe for the sole
purpose of getting rid
of Michael Flynn at the behest
of Barack Obama and his cronies,
and we're not speculating about
this because FBI documents prove
it on those documents.
It's literally written, get him
to lie. Get him to lie. Andy
Mccabe was never punished
for that. He still has a seat
waiting for him on CNN and when
Andy Mccabe lied
to investigators about leaking
to the media, was he charged? No,
that wasn't parading in Congress
now he gets his pension back
and he celebrated on national
television. Why is that?
Because Andy Mccabe is
on the right side he's a member
of the National Security
state which the left now
generates, because the national
security state is on their side.
The FBI can label political
dissidents, domestic terrorists
which justifies killing them,
and everyone applauds when they
die so Ashli Babbitt. I hurt not
a single person. On January six, she
was unarmed and yet watched. This
is Andy. Mccabe's defenders
justify shooting her
because the FBI says she was
somehow a threat to national
security, Ashli Babbitt, who was
a trained air force specialist
trained by our tax to kill. She
was a military member.
If she'd gotten through that
door, God knows what kind of harm
she could have done. His
supporters who attacked
the capitol are terrorists.
It's two plus two equals
four stuff like Ashli Babbitt. All
those who attack the capitol are
terrorists because the FBI
director has said it was an act
of terrorism. Ashli Babbitt is
the woman that was leading
the mob that was about to storm
the house floor and she was shot
by a brave officer who was
the last line of defense
for many members of Congress,
and many of these members were
the slowest least mobile members,
because they were having
the hardest time getting out
if they had been overrun by that
mob people would have been
killed yeah. So you watch that
and you get frustrated and then
you're reminded these people are
so stupid. It's amazing they can
breathe unaided,
and that is some comfort. They
just told you that Ashli Babbitt
was trained by the air force
to kill people. Oh really, a lot
of people in the air force
trained to kill people. She was
a threat to their safety. She was
like 5', two and totally unarmed.
She was not warned by the way
before she was shot to death.
We've never seen the results
of that investigation.
We know the man who shot her was
completely reckless. He left
a loaded firearm in a men's room
in the capitol he wasn't fired
for that. For some reason, no one
in the federal government is
ever fired,
so that's clearly over the line
in a functional country, but then
to see those ghouls gloating
about the death of an unarmed
woman. How would they treat you
so they're telling you that,
for the crime of praying
in the capitol building, Ashli
Babbitt deserved to be executed?
In the same time, they're telling
you that they're ignoring other
crimes once committed with
people by who are actually armed
and 18 year old, who opened fire
in his classroom in Texas shot?
Several people got out of jail
in a single day. He told us he
was bullied yet another victim
of white supremacy and he got
a pass and that's fine Hunter
Biden got to pass his firearm
winds up
in a trash bin behind
the grocery store and then
disappears threat to public
safety. Anyone know not, according
to our government, the feds
didn't care about his gun
and said the secret service
showed up,
which was not working for him
at the time, went to the gun
store to shred, the paperwork
showing that Hunter Biden
committed a felony by lying
on a federal gun form when he
acquired the gun.
So if you're the President's son,
you can commit a federal gun
felony and nobody cares.
The worst they'll do is invite
you on their shows and let you
explain it away in a sentence.
Why did you have a gun? Well
again, you know the period
of my life. That was difficult. It
was,
but you know I I don't know
according to the reporting
at one point, the secret service
went looking for the record
of sale. Do you know anything
about that? Nothing? No, but you
know about the secret service
being involved. No, I had no idea,
I don't know whether the secret
service were or why they would
be, or I don't think that
that's true right, it's not
on your laptop or anything.
So you commit a gun felony. You
lie about it in the laziest
possible way, and no one really
cares.
But if you dare to criticize
the incompetent bureaucrats
leading say our military is
to scheller, did they send you
to prison? If you try to visit
your sick daughter
in the hospital you get arrested,
I told them that I wasn't going
to leave my daughter's side. She
had taken a turn for the worse
and I wanted to stay, and I told
them that I wasn't leaving. She
said the nurse said: she'd have
to call security, I said,
do whatever you have to do,
but I'm not leaving
my daughter's side good for you
good for you. I wish more
Americans would take that really.
Thank you for doing that,
but they handcuffed you. Yes, they
handcuffed me behind my back
and led me out to the cruiser
where I sat for three hours with
my hands cuffed behind my back.
What was your? What was
your crime? Were you spreading
covid to people? I mean like what
did you do wrong? Exactly stayed
past seven o'clock? Oh handcuffing,
a grandmother because she stayed
past seven o'clock, shooting
an unarmed woman in the neck
without warning her because you
didn't like what she was saying,
but if you torch a federal
courthouse in Portland, no
problem, if you show up
at a school board meeting
and object to your 14 year old
daughter being raped
in a bathroom, that's when you
get
thrown to the ground and taken
to jail, and I tried to tell
the lady what had happened
to my daughter and she looked me
dead in the face and said:
that's not what happened
and that just struck me like. How
do you know what happened? You
don't even know me and she
started in on me again
and threatened my family
business, my livelihood,
everything that you gives
my family, what we need she
threatened to ruin my business
on social media.
The next thing I know
I'm getting touched from all
over the place. I didn't know who
was touching me who was grabbing
me. I turn around. The police are
grabbing me and next thing. I
know I'm tackled to the ground
we could go on and on.
We could spend all night giving
you example after example:
here's the bottom line
they're, not for defunding
the police and we apologize
for ever suggesting they were
there for repurposing the police
they're, not against the use
of force. They embrace the use
of force as long as it's against
their political opponents,
they're for letting criminals
off the hook and redefining
people who oppose the regime
as criminals, the only ones who
get punished. What form
of government is this? It's not
democracy, it's anarcho tyranny.
It is selective punishment even
as they ignored the rule of law,
and this is a threat to the very
center of the american idea,
which is equality under the law.
Everyone
treated the same by the justice
system. Right now, you can loot
a target in Minneapolis. You can
burn a Wendy's and face no
consequences,
but try to defend your own
property, like the mccloskeys. Try
to exercise your constitutional
right to state your views about
the last election and you go
to jail. That's true by the way.
Next month, we're releasing
a multi part series on Tucker,
Carlson Originals on this topic.
It's the best thing. We've ever
made we'll tell you much more
about it soon. It will be on Fox
nation.
So one thing we've learned
in the last twenty four hours. You can
say pretty much whatever you
want in this country, but there
are limits guardrails as we call
them
and the main one is. You
can't make fun of PETE Buttigieg.
You must take PETE Buttigieg
very, very seriously.
We learned that and more
we'll tell you all about it
in just a minute. Plus american
diplomats are reportedly
suffering from mysterious
neurological symptoms.
It's called Havana syndrome,
but does it actually exist? Is it
real one expert doubts that he
joins us next, but we can still
get a copy of the long slide
on Tucker Carlson, we'll be right
back.
