There are only two kinds of people in this world: Those who enjoy mandatory corporate diversity seminars and those who don't.

Coming up see, you then
see you then
good evening and
welcome to Tucker Carlson
tonight
day. Two of the Democratic
national convention will start
shortly
tonight. Former
President Bill Clinton,
Alexandria, Ocasio, Cortez sandy-
will speak
that ought to be worth watching.
Well, have live coverage of all
that throughout the night right
here on on Fox NEWS
turns out that only two kinds of
people in the world: those who
enjoy mandatory corporate
diversity seminars and
those who dont.
If you find yourself in the
former category, you must have
loved last nights, democratic
convention,
the preachy self righteousness,
the condescension, the shameless
lying,
the strange mixture of guilt and
aggression-
probably all felt refreshingly
familiar to you
for everyone else, though it
was a massive turnoff.
The whole thing seems like the
weirdest infomercial ever made.
At one point, they dragged out
grouchy old, John Kasich, a man
with the charm of a high school
science teacher to try to sell
you things,
no thanks
who would buy that
if the Dnc was in direct
marketing, they would be
bankrupt by now,
but the weirdest moment by far
of the night was Andrew, Cuomo
speech.
Cuomo is the brother of Cnns
Weight, lifting correspondent
hes, also the sitting governor
of New York, which is the
second biggest democratic state.
His father famously gave the Dnc
keynote back in nineteen eighty four,
there was never any question
that Andrew Cuomo was going to
speak at this years convention.
What we did not expect in a
million years was Andrew Cuomo
to talk about the coronavirus,
youd think that would be the
last thing. The very last thing
Cuomo would want to talk about
that of the fact that his top
aide is doing six years in
prison for bribery
for coronavirus, especially
whatever you think about
Andrew Cuomo and hes, a good
talker. You can say hes done a
good job with the pandemic.
Citizens of New York State have
been four times as likely to die
as other Americans from the
coronavirus
theres. A reason for that
Andrew Cuomo forced Corona,
infected patients into nursing
homes. Many thousands perished
as a result of that decision.
It is possible that no leader on
earth mishandled the coronavirus
outbreak as profoundly as
Andrew Cuomo did
a man with integrity would have
resigned immediately.
Cuomo refused to do that
now he brags about it.
Literally
last night, Cuomo told the
audience what a great job he did
managing the coronavirus.
Nobody laughed at him,
they applauded like they
agreed.
The whole thing was like
watching Jeffrey Epstein boast
about his internship program.
You could barely believe it was
happening,
but it was
Heres part of it.
New Yorkers were ground. Zero
for the Covid virus had never
gone from one of the highest
infection rates in the globe to
one of the lowest.
We climbed the impossible
mountain and right now we are on
the other side.
Our nation is in crisis and in
many ways Covid is just a
metaphor:
a virus attacks when the body is
weak and when it cannot defend
itself,
the european virus infected the
northeast. While the White House
was still fixated on China
as they proved their way failed,
we proved that our way
succeeded
and for all the pain and all the
tears our way worked,
and it was beautiful,
speak to the european virus.
Oh right,
the deadly pathogen that escape
from a lab in Luxembourg last
winter,
those Europeans always
infecting us with their
diseases,
if only they would stop eating
backs.
What world is this?
Its a world of such pure
dishonesty that all reference
points have disappeared from
sight?
There are no facts left only
assertions
Andrew Cuomo says the way he
handled the coronavirus was
quote beautiful,
and so it was
Cuomo Declarative,
its now a reality.
This is a very specific style of
political rhetoric, departure
from what we had before
politicians used to try to
convince you of things.
The assumption was that you were
in charge. You were the voter,
which is to say you were the
boss.
If they wanted the job they had
to win you over,
it turned out to be a cumbersome
process, so they have abandoned
it.
Now they just browbeat you into
accepting their program.
If you dont, like their program
its your fault,
you are the bad guy,
youre immoral.
Michelle Obama could teach a
masters class in this mode of
communication.
Last night she delivered a taped
address from her eleven dollars million
state on Marthas vineyard.
Michelle Obama, its fair to say,
has done
well for herself.
What she wanted you to know last
night was that she was still a
victim. She never one who looks
like her so shut up and accept
her dominion over you
watch
here at home as George
Floyd Breonna Taylor and a
never ending list of innocent
people of color continue to be
murdered,
stating the simple fact that a
black life matter is still met
with derision from the nations
highest office.
We dont want to be
too harsh about this.
We are not lawyers, but we
understand the constitutional
limits of the first amendment in
this country.
No shouting fire in a crowded,
theater
Nokia sizing Michelle Obama.
We know that
so were going to say this as
gently as possible, meaning
absolutely no disrespect, of
course, being certain to
pronounce everyones name
correctly,
but what you just heard was
total and complete crock.
A never ending list of innocent
people of color continue to be
murdered,
thats. What Michelle Obama told
us?
Well, no!
So for this to there have been a
total of eight unarmed black man
killed by police in this
country.
That a never ending list
eight
last year there was a total of
fourteen.
So what Michelle Obama just told
you is a total lie. A calculated
lie lie designed to make
America more fearful, more
angry, more divided, and there t
by help her candidate win
thats. What Michelle Obama just
did
but pretty much know and pointed
it out last night.
They were too afraid to because,
as Michelle Obama made very
clear, if you disagree with what
she says, you are a bigot.
Donald Trump is the wrong
president for our country.
He has had more than enough time
to prove that he can do the job,
but he is clearly in over his
head
now. I understand that my message
will be heard by some people.
We live in the nation that is
deeply divided and I am a black
woman speaking at the democratic
convention.
But enough of you know me by
now.
You know that I tell you exactly
what im feeling
you know. I hate politics,
but you also know that I care
about this nation.
I understand that
my message will be heard by some
people.
Michelle Obama declared. Why
wont they hear her message?
Well because they are bad
people thats, why
half the country is evil.
They hate me for my race. Has the
woman whose husband was elected
by that very same country twice
in a row, hence allowing her to
buy an one billion one hundred and eleven million dollars spread on
him, Marthas Vineyard,
if Michelle Obama hates politics
so much. Why she giving a
political speech at a political
convention
isnt there anything else to do
on Marthas vineyard. In the
summer
you think someone on television
mightve asked Pat
its pretty obvious question,
but no
Michelle Obama was talking, so
they were too thrilled to think.
Clearly,
Michelle Obama is riveting
was riveting. One of the best
speeches ive heard her, give it
ive heard her. Give many
speeches
not only that she was
emotional and a mother and
seemed to be a truth, teller.
She is clearly one of the
most talented political minds of
our time right now,
shes also kind of a pop
culture figure, who also kind of
comes across as your favorite
extra neighbor.
She doesnt come across as a
politician.
She comes across as a mother and
patriot
she wasnt just putting the
president down.
She was trying to pick the
country up.
It was all tied together in a
beautiful bow by Michelle Obama.
She delivered epic shade
is Nicole, just said it was
epic shade, but it was elegant,
shade
this extraordinary speech,
shes beautiful,
a mother, a
patriot, a truth, teller
beautiful
adjective after adjective piling
up like tailings out tiny mind.
It was sad to see someone like
Andrew Yang trapped on one of
those panels.
Young is actually a smart guy
and a good guy.
His friends must be embarrassed
for him.
The rest of them really mean it.
You probably think, as as we left
secular but not anymore,
they are fervent religious
fanatics.
Michelle Obama is there
L Ron Hubbard
everything she does is good. By
definition,
she is the most beautiful
smartest wisest.
If Michelle Obama played golf,
she would shoot in eighteen every
time
in the words of Van Jones. Her
speech last night was
extraordinary,
even though, as you know, if you
side it was exactly the
opposite.
The speech was ordinary.
It was totally pedestrian, like
almost everything Michelle Obama
says.
You cant admit that
you have to pretend she is air,
stolid
thats, the law,
what was legitimately the
entertainment, the Dnc provided
most networks cut away after
Michelle Obama finished
speaking.
They couldnt wait to start
slobbering over her, but the
cameras kept rolling in the few
who stuck around were treated to
this.
Stop children whats that sound
that sound
everybody look whats going
down.
What the hell was
that and how is it going to
prove my life?
You may have wondered that if
you stop at the Dnc gave, you
know hints because improving
your life isnt. The point
it never is
the point of that performance
was the Blm signs. In the
background,
they were there to remind you
that you have done something
very wrong and have no right to
resist,
be quiet and accept what we give
you.
You have no choice:
youre guilty
Washington D, DOT C, Mirror Muriel
Bowser arrived underscore that
Point
Bowser City is falling apart
right now, literally
then, there
for centuries, Washington, D, DOT C
was a beautiful place.
You might remember it from your
six grade: trip,
parks and trees and open spaces.
A city the country was proud of
now, its open spaces are lined
with tents and inside them, drug
addicted, vagrants live and they
emerge periodically to scare and
harass visitors and local
residents,
including a hotel lobby thats
out of control
under the leadership of Muriel
Bowser. People who pay taxes in
Washington are fleeing the city
in huge numbers,
but thats, okay with Democratic
National Committee, because
Muriel Bowser is on their team.
She may have wrecked our
nations capital, a city she did
not build, but she got the
politics right and thats all
that matters.
So I created black lives
matter. Plans are right behind me
as a place where we could come
together to say enough,
because we cant just paint
those words behind me.
We cant just say those words.
We have to live those words
yeah shes living
those words.
Meanwhile, your unemployment
benefits expire. The restaurant
you work at has disappeared
forever,
at at least you can go to sleep
in your car, knowing that far awa
in a city run by corrupt
bureaucrats. Street now has a
fashionable political slogan
painted across it.
That is the message not just a
Muriel Bowser Bit of the
Democratic Party.
They are going with it
thats. What they are running on
in that message was consistent
throughout last night.
At one point, Bernie Sanders
arrived to remind you that the
one thing you really care about
way more than your kids going
back to school or is getting rid
of cash available for accused
criminals,
thats whats, important
watch
reform, our broken criminal
justice system,
Joel and neck private prisons
and detention, centers cash, bail
and the school to prison
pipeline
and to heal the soul of our
nation.
Joe Biden will end the hate and
division Trump has created.
How out of touch?
Would you have to be? How many
years would you have to have
spent in the United States
Senate to believe that ending
cash bail would heal the soul
of our nation
thats? Not a real position than
an actual human being would take
or say out loud,
but thats, fine for
Bernie Sanders because it turns
and he doesnt take real
positions anyway.
Here he is on CNN. Over the
weekend
he was asked about how he feels
about a Wall Street Favorite
Kamala Harris being effectively
the next president under
Joe Biden
Heres how he responded.
The Wall Street Journal
Headline says, is Kamala Harris
joined Biden, Ticket Wall Street,
sighs in relief.
If Wall Street breathes a sigh
of relief with Kamala Harris
being named to the ticket, what
does Bernie Sanders do
well. Bernie Sanders does
everything he can to defeat
Donald Trump, who was
undermining american democracy?
Donald Trump lied to the
american people repeatedly on
every issue.
What Bernie Sanders is going to
do is to everything that I can
to defeat Donald Trump to elect
Joe Biden,
its just an
amazing exchange that lays bare
whats really going on
Bernie Sanders, who, at the very
least you that was sincere,
Bernie Sanders, who spent his
entire career attacking
Wall Street is asked a really
simple question:
how do you feel about a craven
soulless puppet of Wall Street
potentially running the country
in like three months?
He cant answer the question.
This is the Democratic Party in
two thousand and twenty.
They dont believe anything. Not
one thing and theyre not
embarrassed about it
tonight, the convention. They are
featuring a major address by
Bill Clinton and they are doing
it on the very same day that a
new picture emerged showing
Bill Clinton getting a massage
from a victim of
Jeffrey Epstein,
but pay no attention to that.
Because Amy Klobuchar is here
with some stale jokes of
shredded to tip your waitress.
Is
sorry your servers.
You know the president may
hate the post office, but he
still going to have to send them
a change of address card come
January.
You feel your soul
being crushed.
Have you watch long enough,
its like the final scene in
dos boot?
The walls are caving in word and
you are covered in sweat and you
fill for lookup animal, desperate.
