A look at the latest news and headlines of the day features discussions of politics and culture, analysis of Political Correctness in Campus Craziness and. Do. I always stand for the anthem but i thank god every day i live in a country where i dont have to. This is america, you are free to protest. Taking a knee during the National Anthem has been discussed as a reasonable appropriate and very respectful absolutely. You speak to people over theye years within veterans communities and others, this is a very respectful way. Mark those people pumping fists, walking around, you canhe take a need for king george the third, you got rid of him so you dont take the day, you stand up for the national the point about the National Anthem as everybody has got to do the same thing for it, or its not a National Anthem anymore. The point of living in a democratic republic is everybody can do what they want to do particularly around a song being played at an event. It is freedom, you dont fight for the flag or the anthem, you fight for the freedoms that the flag and the anthem represent. Mark its not a First Amendment issue, i have aFirst Amendment right to shout. Words at your grandmothers funeral. Any Civilized Society depends on people having respecting a minimum of social norms. If youre at an International Game and they play the canadian anthem or the french anthem or the german anthem, or these Jacksonville Jaguars players who stood up for god save the queen, they understood with a foreigngn anthem its polite to get to your feet but not with their own anthem. Let me just explain this to you but you may not have learned this in school. In a free society like ours, you do not have to stand compulsory for anything. You can do what you want to do as long as youre not hurting others. There is no law that says we dont live in the age of 1984
where you do with the party tells you. You can peacefully protest4 whenever you want wherever you want. Mark let me explain something to you since were all explaining to each other, of course not. Everyone accepts there is a legal right to do things, theres a legal right to be a boorish narcissistic ultimate Million Dollar buffoon who doesnt understand a basic societal norm. We have one running the country right now. Mark defending this kind of narcissistic selfindulgent buffoonery as some abstract freedom is completely ridiculous. No one is going to put them in jail, bob mueller isnt going to indict them and toss them in jail for 200 years but its still not something you guys should be defending. I am defending peoples rights to express themselves peacefully without bothering other people. I respect that right. Ts
the president has bigger things to worry about then whether a couple of athletes are kneeling on sunday. I know its a Double Whammy for him on this anniversary of his ridiculous remarks after charlottesville, its a Double Whammy because the nfl rejected him many years ago, they wouldnt let him by a team so he gets back and he gets to charge up his base. We need the president to focus on bringing people together, not pulling them apart over this. Mark theres no point bringing people together who cant even agree on the National Anthem. You might as well say Wake Me Up Before You Go go for white people and the macarena for a black people. Carry on, you can have the last word. We respect the anthem but we also respect peoples rights to do what they want. Mark will see how that works out, we will see if
theres enough society left. Democrats across the country are turning against nancy pelosi, is it time for her to step down . If so, who can replace her . Thats next on Tucker Carlson tonight. Mens waterproof rubber boots for under 90. And save 100 on this leupold ltotracker thermal imager. When you barely clip a tpassing car. Minor accident no big deal, right . Wrong. Your Insurance Company is gonna raise your rate after the other car got a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen. Youre guaranteed to have a perfect drive. [laughter] vo go national. Go like a pro. See what i did there . Speak or if the party retakes the majority. We will have a vote as to who will be the next democratic leader whether it be minority or speaker of the house, will you vote for nancy pelosi . Probably not. You have said you will not support nancy pelosi should to become elected as the next speaker. Folks are ready for a new generation of leadership. Would you back her if you win and are in the house . We dont want to get ahead of ourselves. Mark mark penn was a poster and advisor to both bill and Hillary Clinton and he joins us. 15 years in the modern age is a hell of a long time to be holding down a Party Leadership job, is she finally in trouble . I think trouble is overrated
here. If the democrats win the house she will have done the fundraising, the messaging, she will be in a strong position and she will be strengtheningsh herself in california. The california delegation is solidly behind her. I dont think shes going anywhere if she wins. On the other hand, there are a fair number of politicians for the purpose of the election because shes unpopular who want to distance themselves from her. Eventually there will be a change. The other thing that could happen here is the problem solvers caucus, if this racism within five or six seats, democrats or republicans they may hold up the election for speaker unless there are rules changes and put some power back in the members hands. Mark lets step back and talk about what you said in the beginning about whether she isp in trouble or not. Once upon a time if you were a
loser, you got a Second Chance whether its grover cleveland, Richard Nixona or whoever it is youre talking about. We live in much more brutal political times and nancy pelosi hasnt actually won in the house for 10 years. Four elections and possibly a fifth. Whats the secret of her power . . How was she managed to hold her grip on this caucus . California fundraising, personality and organization. Remember what has happened here is the fundraising and theg political campaigns largely got centralized giving more power to the leaders. Thats one of the big reasons nothing gets done on both sides. The leaders have too much power and the members arent free to agree on stuff. Mark lets turn it from a Minority Leader to a wellknown New York City madam, the selfdescribed manhattan madam Kristin Davis testified before
the mueller investigations grand jury. Why she did that is unclear but she has been the friend to a long time Trump Advisor Roger stone. If you have a difficulty keeping your metropolitan madam straight, this is the one who claimed to have provided hookers for eliot spitzer. Who was then the democratic governor of new york. How did the mueller end up calling the manhattan madam before the grand jury . I lived through 98 so i know there are no rocks that special councils will stop from turning over . I think its unfortunate for Special Counsel has gone down this road. Roger stone has been clear, Hehe Didnt Collude with anybody, he was up to his usual political
tricks and bragging and they are obviously interviewing everybody around him regardless of connection, just as they are interviewing everyone around trump. Quite interestingly one of roger stones other associates appealed to subpoena and i think although it was turned down at the district level, it was the most fascinating case which might be the case that unravels the entire independent counsel the investigation if its appealed. Mark that is an interesting appeal. This doesnt meet any basic judicial norms what the Special Counsel does. He goes down the chain, he wants to talk to this madam because shes got something on some other guy and he can put the squeeze on that other guy and the other guy can roll up another guy and eventuallyhe somewhere in that chain, they will find that someone who has the goods on trump. Why do democrats and republicans put up with this . Why isnt there a bipartisan
understanding of the need to get rid of this thing . I wish there were. I fought ken starr in 98 and ive been outspoken i think this investigation is wrong. I think judge ellis clearly knows that manafort is on trial by the independent counsel with the entire weight of the largesr prosecutorial machinery almost ever built only because he spent two months as Trump Campaign manager, he mightve had a trial but not two indictments, even without bail, even Harvey Weinstein is out on a Million Dollars bail. This is not the way anybody really expects the american Justice System to work. I am puzzled hatred of trump is so broad, people are forgetting the First Principles is that we all have to agree on a system thats fair to all. Mark will get into judge o ellis and the Manafort Trial later on the show. Mark zuckerberg has more of your
personal information than anyone in Human History but hes not done enough and he wants more. Hes asking banks to shareny thr customers financial information, thats up next. It is such a good time to kiss
so i talked to my doctor about humira. I learned humira can help get, and keep Uc Under Control when other medications havent worked well enough. And it helps people achieve control that lasts. So you can experience few or no symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Mark every time you log into facebook, you arent
consuming the products you are becoming one. The Company Relies on your personal data to make money and now its trying to get even more of it. Recent reports say the company is contacting major u. S. Banks seeking detailed Financial Data about the banks customers for the sake of crafting more services to entice facebook users. Roger mcnamee was a mentor to Mark Zuckerberg and since then hes become a critic of facebook and he joins us now. If any Government Entity was doing what facebook does, liberals in particular would be outraged about it. You remember how after 9 11 they went bananas over the patriot act because they thought george w. Bush was tracking what Library Books people were taking out. That sounds quaint now. Facebook knows more about twoai and a half billion people on the planet, more about more people than anybody has ever known
about anyone. Wheres it it going to stop . Its infuriating. As many active users as there are total members of christianity, were Talking Aboue the largest entity in business that has ever existed. They capture everything, whats particularly galling about the issue is its not like they are going offer a new service. As a consumer, you have access to web services, facebook wants to get that data because with that data theyre going to know a lot more about you and theyrc going to be able to manipulate your attention to the economic benefit. Theyre going to be able to use that data with third parties. My advice to everyone is if by some reason do not do this,
this is a really bad idea. I wish facebook would recognize the game has changed and they need to behave differently. Mark as a practicalr matter, theyre going after major banks. If you want to transfer your Checking Account to the First National bank of the dead Moose Junction somewhere in the main woods they might not have done a deal with facebook. Ha its increasingly hard to avoid his tentacles. Its difficult, the good news is you would still have to take a little piece of software and Facebook Messenger that works
with your specific bank so you always have the ability to opt out in this case. The problem as you pointed out is that in so many areas you dont have any way to opt out, all of this stuff has been done to you. The sad thing is most of usus dont even realize this has been going on. Theres so much data that has been gathered in the way its being used, you dont realize thats where the data is coming from and you dont realize this is being done to harm you. My simple point to everybody is the days of trusting Tech Companies to do the right thing are in the past now. Im not saying dont use new tech, make sure you understand what the consequences are. S there are a lot of reasons why that is just a terrible idea, its convenient to bring the songs you want to listen to. But its not worth having it spy on you all the t time. Mark thank you for that. In order to have the convenienc. Of knowing you like a Justin Bieber but not miley cyrus, you are willing to be surveilled 24 hours a day. Its a 24hour ankle bracelet
that two and a half billion people are wearing around the planet. The way to put your finger on it. Mark a California Republican congressional candidate recently learned what its like to have powerful Tech Companies dictate what can and cannot be said. Elizabeth heng created this campaign ad. In cambodia under the khmer rouge, being young and single often meant a gruesome life and likely death. They approached my father, he said he was about to be married and they asked him to whom . He pointed to the Prettiest Girl that he saw having never spoken to her before. 41 years later, they are still the happiest couple i know. Great things can come. Mark facebook blocked that ad on the grounds that it contained shocking, disrespectful and sensational content, they have since relented in the face of public backlash. Elizabeth ng joins us now. Facebook is telling you that you telling your families a story as some kind of hate crime in their world. Elizabeth joins us now. I found it incredibly frustrating when i got into the race to run for congress, a big part of my message is that great things can come from great adversity. My parents survived the khmer rouge and came to theUnited States as refugees and for some reason, facebook didnt like that message and revoked my ability to promote this ad on their platform. Mark the khmer rouge in their mercifully brief time in cambodia managed to kill well over a million people. They were butchers, pol pot andw his allies were butchers on a incredible scale. At facebook whos got no memory of anything before 2012 thinks that your ad was promoting genocide . Are they that stupid . We constantly see how this is an attack from liberal Tech Companies that continue to go after conservative voices. What i showed were just glimpses of genocide. My family lived through it. For a tech company to be able to say what history lives on, i find highly problematic. Mark thats an absolutely critical point. The point you are making there, its not just that facebook dominates our present and our future. They are unilaterally deciding for themselves what part of the past we are allowed to know about. For example, what happened in cambodia, some Social Justice pajama boy at facebook decides that can be erased into an a half million facebook users arent entitled to see it. I tried to go through the normal protocols when it was w first revoked and to no avail. It took five days and a whole National Movement in order for them to say i apologize for the confusion. Had i been a liberal in
los angeles, i dont think this would have taken five days interNational Movement. My bigger concern is what if this happened five days before an election . Mark youre absolutely right. People who arent in a position to go public have a much more difficult time. Thanks for that, thanks for your inspiring story and your family story and good luck in your election. Paul manaforts criminal trial in virginia has produced no end of excitement thanks in part to the unusual behavior of the deciding judge. He threw another Curveball Atge prosecutors today, thats coming up next on Tucker Carlson tonight. Before you can achieve a higher standard of craftsmanship,
