TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Even as they rub the country's face in the death of George Floyd, a lot of other tragic death, some on video, they ignore completely. Here is one, a 66-year-old Pakistani immigrant called Mohammad Anwar died in Washington recently. As in George Floyd's case, his death was on video. Unlike George Floyd, Mohammed Anwar was not a violent career criminal with a drug habit. He worked at the very bottom of the so-called gig economy.
