>> Tucker: THIS IS THE FOX NEWS

ALERT.

THE PRESIDENT WILL ADDRESS

SUPPORTERS IN LAKE CHARLES,

LOUISIANA.

THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED THE

DEPARTURE OF HIS ACTING DHS

SECRETARY OF STATE.

A REMARKABLE RALLY LAST NIGHT

AND WE EXPECT ANOTHER ONE

TONIGHT.

IN THE MEANTIME, WELCOME TO

"TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT."

A STORY WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING

FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.

BY DAY, STEVE KERR IS THE COACH

OF THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

BASKETBALL TEAM IN THE STATE OF

CALIFORNIA.

IN HIS SPARE TIME, KERR MOON

LIGHTS AS A POLITICAL PUNDIT AND

IS HAPPY TO SHARE HIS HOT TAKE

ON AMERICAN POLITICS.

HE IS LIKE A ONE MAN TWITTER.

THE PRESIDENT IS A RACIST HE

WILL SAY AND YOU HAVE TOO MANY

GUNS AND PEOPLE AROUND HIM

APPLAUD.

HE THINKS HE IS BRAVE FOR SAYING

THINGS THAT NOT A SINGLE PERSON

IN THEIR WORLD DISAGREES WITH.

IT'S NOT BRAVELY AT ALL.

IT'S COWARDICE.

SOMEONE ASKED STEVE KERR WHAT HE

THINKS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF

CHINA, THE LARGEST POLICE STATE

IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN

RACE.

MAYBE BECAUSE THE NBA DOES A

GREAT DEAL OF BUSINESS IN CHINA,

KERR WAS FLUM OXED BY THE

QUESTION.

FASCISM OR DEMOCRACY.

I DON'T WANT TO WEIGH IN.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE A

CHOICE.

LAST NIGHT HE WAS ASKED AGAIN

ABOUT CHINA AND ANSWERED THE

QUESTION.

SURE, CHINA HAS PROBLEMS SO DOES

THE UNITED STATES.

CHINA SEND RELIGIOUS MINORITIES

TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND

EXECUTES POLITICAL PRISONS TO

SELL THEIR ORGANS BUT IN AMERICA

THEY SELL GUNS AT WAL-MART.

>> IT DOES NOT COME UP.

PEOPLE ASKING ME ABOUT IT.

NO.

NOR HAS OUR RECORD OF HUMAN

RIGHTS ABUSES COME UP EITHER.

PEOPLE IN CHINA DIDN'T ASK ME

ABOUT PEOPLE OWNING AR-15S AND

MOWING EACH OTHER DOWN IN A

MALL.

I WASN'T ASKED THAT QUESTION.

THE WORLD IS A COMPLEX PLACE.

THERE IS MORE GRAY THAN

BLACK-AND-WHITE.

>> Tucker: SOME THINGS ARE NOT

THAT GRAY LIKE PUTTING MUSLIMS

IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

STEVE KERR AND THE NBA WERE MADE

FOR EACH OTHER.

THE NBA EPITOMIZES CAPITAL

RUTHLESSNESS UNDER THE GUISE OF

COMPASSION.

THEY EMPLOY KERR WHO IS THE

MODERN MINDLESS ELITE LEFT.

HE IS HAPPY TO TRASH HIS OWN

COUNTRY AND GIVES UP NOT ONE

THING IN RETURN.

HE RECEIVES ONLY ACCOLADES.

BUT WHEN REAL EVIL STARES HIM IN

THE FACE HE HAS NOTHING TO SAY.

REAL EVIL IS POWERFUL.

THERE ARE COSTS TO OPPOSING IT

AND REWARDS FOR ACCEPTING.

THE NBA COMMISSIONER ADAM SILVER

SAID THE NBA WILL STAND BY FREE

SPEECH NO MATTER WHAT THE

CONSEQUENCES FROM CHINA.

IT WAS ALL A LIE.

SEVERAL NBA TEAMS ARE ON AN

EXHIBITION TOUR IN CHINA RIGHT

NOW.

THAT PRESENTS A AIR OPPORTUNITY.

-- RARE OPPORTUNITY.

SUPERSTAR NBA PLAYERS CAN SAY

WHATEVER THEY WANT ABOUT CHINA'S

REGIME AND GET ATTENTION AND

AVOID CONSEQUENCES.

ARE YOU GOING TO PUT AN NBA

PLAYER IN JAIL?

NO, THEY HAD A GOLDEN

OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK REAL TRUTH

TO REAL POWER.

BUT THE NBA STOPPED THEM.

TODAY THE NBA ANNOUNCED THAT

NONE OF THE PLAYERS ON THE TOUR

IN CHINA WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK

TO THE MEDIA FOR THE REST OF THE

TRIP.

WOULDN'T WANT ANY USING THEIR

FREE SPEECH THE WRONG WAY AND

CRITICIZING THEIR CHINESE

MASTERS.

THE COACH OF THE SAN ANTONIO

SPURS SAID THE PRESIDENT BRINGS

OUT THE DARK SIDE OF HUMAN

BEING.

IN 2016 HE BRAGGED AS AN

AMERICAN HE COULD SPEAK HIS MIND

ON ANYTHING.

THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT WHAT IS HE USING THAT FREE

SPEECH FOR?

HE IS NOT USING IT AT ALL.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE NBA IN

CHINA WHICH IS THE CRITICAL

ISSUE, HE HAD NOTHING TO SAY.

HE BLASTED TRUMP FOR HANDLING

THE JAMAL KHASHOGGI

ASSASSINATION LAST YEAR.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH

CHINA?

NOTHING.

WHY ANSWER THAT?

BECAUSE SAUDI ARABIA HAS A

SMALLER BELIEVE -- BASKETBALL

MARKET.

WHERE IS DALLAS MAVERICKS OWNER

MARK CUBAN?

HE CAME ON THIS SHOW BUT SO FAR

HE HAS NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT

CHINA AND ITS CONTROL OVER THE

NBA.

THIS PROVES THE RULING CLASS IS

PHONEY.

THEY ARE WEAK AND PATHETIC.

THAT'S OBVIOUS NOW.

THEY TALK A BIG GAME ABOUT HUMAN

RIGHTS AND LECTURE ABOUT

DEMOCRACY.

THE THREAT TO YOU IS NOT RUSSIA
