One politician who wore blackli face demanded the resignation of another politician wearing black face. Thats more than hypocrisy, its escape andli evasion. You escape scrutiny by advisingt by accusing other people doing exactly what you yourself are doing but on a much grander scale. People calling you a thief are picking your pocket. Ones calling you an adulterer our hitting on your wife. The ones claiming you are immoral are deeply worried about spending eternity in flames, probably for good reason. The bill clinton as feminist scam. We should give you a million examples. But the living embodiment of this syndrome, alltime triple gold medal winner in the category turns out to be running for president of the United States. Kirsten gillibrand. Gillibrand is interesting not because theres a chance she will become the president , she i wont. Shes fascinating because shes so perfectly embodies the attitudes and the vanities of b the modern Democratic Party and ruling class more broadly f you want to know what theyre thinking in the faculty lounge at wesleyan, hollywood, watch Kirsten Gillibrand. Shes who they all are. Like all of them, she rarely utters a sentence anymore without some form of moralen judgment. She appears to have retired from politics, actually. Shes a preacher now. This country was founded on some basic moral principles. That we have a moral compass as a nation, our morality as a country is literally on an ice edge. Its a moral question. For me its a moral question. Ive been called to fight as hard as i can to restore that moral integrity, moral decency. Tucker moral integrity, moral decency. Interesting to see if she gave that lecture to her old friend harvey weinstein. Or pal disgraced new york general eric snyderman, standing accused of beating women and calling his girlfriend a brown slave. Did she mention that . The question of moral prims ever come up during the time she spent with her mentor, bill clinton . Probably not. Its not clear how gillibrand or any of these people de find the word moral. Couple of months ago she gave us a hint, our future, she wrote ie a tweet, is, quote, female, intersectional, powered by belief in one another. Do you have any idea what that means . Gillibrand likely doesnt, no one asked her to explain. Theyre afraid to ask herr anything. Do why . Gillibrand is a victim now. Bet you didnt know that. Shes shielded from the scrutiny we receive. She announced her status in a fundraising pitch. Quote, im already facing questions about my likability and tone she wrote. Sexism is bubbling into the narrative around the campaign. But i wont stop fighting for a a country that values respects women. Will you add your name to reject sexism . Get it . Kirsten gillibrand is nowe oppressed. She seems like one of the more powerful people in the world. She went to a pricey allgirls boarding school and then an Ivy League College and the law school and then she was political like all my connections to get a prestigious legal clerkship and got a senate really running for. But all seems like a pretty high level of privilege, but no, despite a life of wealth and connections, Kirsten Gillibrandn is now telling us shes oppressed. Who are the oppressors . You and me and anyone else who doesnt support her for president. Were guilty of sexism. Shes a victim of it. You wont be surprised to learnl that Kirsten Gillibrand was one of the first politicians to side with Jussie Smollett. She can empathize with that. When the next hate hoax comes along shell probably tweet support of that too. She cant resist a fat. Whatever the political opportunities shes there, too, in lock step. Gillibrand supported a balanced budget amendment, now backs the new green deal. Bragged about do keeping two guns under her bed, a rating from the nra, now wants to ban rifles. The nra is not wrong but evil shets says. The nra has a choke hold on congress, the nra is concerned only with gun sales, it is literally all about money and all about greed. Nothing to do with the second amendment. The power of money, the power of communications, the fear they instill in members and its wrong. Its morally wrong. Tucker there it is again, its morally wrong. The beauty of declaring something morally wrong, rather than just misguided or ineffective, is that you cant really argue with the moral absolute. You can only obey a moral absolute. Thats the point. As a member of congress, gillibrand said she believed in borders. She promised to crack down on sanctuary cities, opposed awarding drivers licenses too illegal aliens. That was then. Now she wants to abolish i. C. E. I dont think i. C. E. , today, is working as intended. You think you should get rid of the agency . I believe it has become a deportation force. And i think you should separate out the criminal justice from the immigration issues. And i think you should reimagine i. C. E. Thats why i believe you should get rid of it, start over, reimagine it, and build something that actually works. Tucker you can see her trying to remember the talking points, dont get confused, reimagine i. C. E. A little over her skis. When she said that, banning i. C. E. Wasnt popular even among democratic voters. Gillibrand lurched back and said she didnt really want to get rid of i. C. E. , you saw she proposed exactly that. But now, a few months later, lurching back again, abolishing i. C. E. That qualifies as centerism. She needs something more radical to be considered the progressive candidate. She found it. This week she found it. She proclaimed Border Security is immoral it impedes the movement of Indigenous Peoples into our country which apparently is really their country. Watch. On immigration, um, i meann this is a crisis at the border right now. We need to have asylum, creating refugees. A lot of these people are indigenous to this land and that border is cutting them off. The wall is hurtful. Tf tucker just who are these Indigenous People . Who knows. As long as theyre female and intersectional, she believeses they are our future. Jonathan harrison joins us. Thanks for coming on. Who are these Indigenous People we cant keep out . Citizens, noncitizens . I think what she was referring, to it wasnt her that said it, it was the activist . Tucker walls are hurtful she was kind of nodding before. I think what shes referring to is that i think its like in the mid1800s for example in texas, that was an independent nation and it was shared by european settlers as well as mexican settlers. They were sharing land together and on the europeans kind of forced mexicans out and that was duplicated again in california and so on and so forth. I think whatal shes talking abt is the reality of a lot of the people that are now outside of the country are actually descended from indigenous actual Indigenous People. Tucker arent they dead . D . I said descended from. Tucker in your ancestors lived in a place you have aa right to go there and use their social programs for free . Just means you are descended from people who are indigenousro people. Tucker a woman who she was talking to said said its wrong to put a portable up because it would keep people who are indigenous to the region out and she said thats absolutely right, thats why they are so hurtful. So what theyre saying is if your ancestors lived in a place that you have, by definition, genetic citizenship or something their gimmick is it true do you think you met or is that insane . I dont think thats what gillibrand was saying. That might have been what the activist was saying but she didnt agree with it. What she said is going back to her talking points, we need asylum, the wall is immoral, things like. I dont know she agreesra with that. That is a factual statement. Tucker populations have moved around the globe fort. Thousands of years. Right. Tucker as long as we are saying that if your ancestors, we take a dna test orke somethi . If i have a child or you have a child outside of the u. S. , they are still considered american citizens. Thats because you are a citizenship. Citizenship is not a gender category because this isnt despite what people say, an inherently racist nation. As soon as you decide that genes are what give you claim to living here no. Tucker thats a different thing. I dont think thats what she was agreeing to, she was i agreeing the fact many of piece people had they not been pushed out or robbed of their land, the people there now are descendants tucker i doubt she knows about the history of the region or anything else. She said that the 14th amendment gave women the right to vote. A lets not overstate her knowledge. I could go down a laundry list of things trump has said u they all do that. Tucker im saying i doubt she knows about the history of the region. I think its important to establish a principle, if youre a citizen you have a right to be here and if youre not you dont. Of course. Tucker gillibrand doesnt agree. Ou her new posture as a victim, grew up privileged, saying there shes a victim of sexism . She said that. The right does that a lot. They mounted his horse in the 80s up the moral majority and everything was a moral issue. People couldnt get married, do these things my private g life. The right did that. Tucker im an h episcopal and, im not here to lecture you about your moral failings atou all. I mean, whatever. But right now, gillibrand is saying this is one of the most powerful people in the world, like Jussie Smollett, rich person. But theres no theres no correlation. Tucker there is a trend of powerful people claiming theyre victims. The people oppressing them are poorer and less popular than they are. I think theres a difference between highlighting something you may be the victim of, like Hillary Clinton had a very different road that donald trump and a lot of it tied into sexism. Shes not calling herself a victim. Tucker of course she is. No shes not. Shes just saying this is what i had touc s do. Can you highlight your own struggle without calling yourself is that even possible . Tucker you should be quiet about your own struggle if youre as powerful as Hillary Clinton. Or powerful as i am, a lot of things i dont like but i dont whine about it. On because im successful and i dont believe in whining. Do you understand what theyre doing when Hillary Clinton does that, obviously, she said it cant hurt me. But a lot of women go through that. People that tucker you know what is going on, powerful people pretending to be powerless. Because it shields them from criticism. I dont see herself calling herself a victim. Tucker i hope youre right. Thank you, jonathan. Great to see you. Erlf t like most of the Democratic Party 2020 candidates Elizabeth Warren is running fast toe position herself at the left end of the spectrum, a position she comfortably held for years until the party itself went insane and that left warren looking dangerously moderate. Yesterday warren unveiled a plan for universal staterun taxpayerfunded daycare scheme in the United States. Warren wants 12 million kids to participate in the daycare plan. 60 of all children under five in america. In a speech shortly before revealing her plan warren said universal daycare, quote, is s about what each of our children is entitled to. Not just the children of the wealthy, not just the well connected, but one of ourt children is entitled good childcare. Lets take this seriously. Warren has it exactly backward. Children are not entitled to government daycare. What children are entitled to is love from their own parents. Now, warn herself used in others veryry well. 15 years ago she wrote an entire book making that case. The book was called the two income trap. Its excellent. I say that as a nonliberal, its great. T. She argues that American Families have been decimated by the mass exodus of mothers intoo the workforce. Children are less cared for, mothers far less happy, and thanks to wage stagnation and rising prices families report better off economically. She proves that point, read it. Many families are worse off. Thats one of the main reasons americans are having feweril children than they used to and far fewer children than they say they want to have. Ha they have no choice, they cant afford it. The kids they produce are likely to be less successful and rising rate from drug addiction and suicide and joblessness attest to that fact. The American Family has been crushed by the changing american economy. Y and nobody wants to admit it. But 15 years ago, elizabethh warren admitted it and was deeply troubled. Good for her. The old Elizabeth Warren. Now she wants to be president , shes gone corporate. Thats where the money is. The new Elizabeth Warren argues that the dream is not raising your own children, the American Dream is outsourcing theirir upbringing to government caretakers while their parents scurry back to work. Good little servants of globalized market capitalism. The need from our government daycare specialist will be justified, used to justify more immigration. And so the cycle is complete. The Democratic Party started by outsourcing manufacturing, remember that. Outsourced farm labor and yard work. G now decided to outsource parenting. Raising your own kids Elizabeth Warren is telling us is a job americans wont do. Huh. Breaks news in the jussiedo smollett case, moments before the show began he was charged with a felony in chicago, we have the live update for what is happening in that story aftern the break. My experience with usaa has been excellent. They really appreciate the military family and it really shows. With all that usaa offers why go with anybody else .

And go try all of my chicken creations chicken tucker a Pretty Amazing case of breaking news tonight in the Jussie Smollett story, the hate hoax that he apparently perpetrated. New Surveillance Footage prior to the attack has come out and just moments ago police formally charged him with a felony. A lot going on. Matt finn is here from chicago. Sorted out first. Matt . Smollett is formally charged with filing a false police report, which carries up to a threeyear sentence sentence here in illinois. Chicago police say their detectives today presented their evidence to a grand jury in the courthouse behind me and also the brothers attorneys said that the brothers testified before the grand jury for 2. 5 hours today. The brothers attorneys said the brothers do not have a plea deal or immunity. Thats not why they are cooperating according to the attorney. The Attorney Says you dont need a plea deal when you have the truth. The brothers attorney also saysw she does not know how Jussie Smollett is sleeping at night and she is urging Jussie Smollett to cooperate with authorities. Also, the brothers attorneys to her clients feel pressured or manipulated as hollywood actor but would not expand on why they got involved in this alleged hoax. The brothers attorney also says she does not expect charges against her clients. T she also says the brothers will reveal their truth eventually. We also obtained new video showing the brothers apparently purchasing the black masks and red hats at a hardware store. The Surveillance Video shows them doing it. The ball tonight is now in Jussie Smolletts court. It will depend on what type of strategys legal team is advising him. Tr if we do know that Chicago Police requested last saturday that Jussie Smollett answer a couple more of their questions after the brothers gave some type of testimony that dramatically altered this case but as of this moment it appears that smollett has nothi cooperad with police and smollett is also facing federal charges because the fbi is investigating that the alleged death threat letter that he received one week prior to this hoax and if he lies to federal authorities or if he had any part in that letter he could be in trouble with the fbi as well. Tucker matt finn in chicago. Got to wonder if you will be arrested in a predawn raid by dozens of armed agents wait, hes not roger stone. Libby locke is an attorney whos been involved in a number of highprofile cases like this and she joins us tonight for some perspective. Thanks very much for coming on. So first, if you would give us some sense of what the charge is against Jussie Smollett and the penalty for it eventually. Sure. It sounds like mr. Smollett has been charged with giving a false report to the police. As your reporter r just noted, theres a possible three year sentence that mr. Smollett could face jail time and this is a very serious charge and in my perspective these kinds of hoaxes commit if mr. Smollett did in fact make up this allegation and did in fact engage in this reporting to the police and wasted police resources, he should in fact go to jail and spend time inin jai. Too many of these hoaxes are not prosecuted and we need some deterrence here. Tucker so that really kind of is the point. Theres a long list of people who have been hurt by theseee hoaxes. But there seems a pretty short list of the people who have been held accountable for perpetrating them. Can you think of another example where someones going to prison f
