thanksgiving week. the story continues and we will see you back here tomorrow night at 7 and see you tomorrow morning 9 to noon. have a lovely evening. >> ♪ >> ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy tuesday. a question for you: what does joe biden believe? what are his plans for our country? it's hard to comprehend this but we don't know the answers to those basic questions. somehow joe biden made it through an entire presidential campaign without telling us. a partisan press corps let him get away with it. that may be the single most dishonest thing that ever happened in american politics.

you talk about election rigging, there you go. they voted for a ghost with a smile. they had no idea who this man was or what he might do if he got elected. at the urging of the media, they voted for him anyway. now the rest of us get to find out what they voted for. joe biden is assembling his cabinet. we will go by his choices to let us know what to expect. it looks like an hr department in a liberal company. the rest of us will get stearn lectures about our moral failings and a group of people will get richer. if jeff bezos took over the government this is what it would

being like. this is now one of joe biden's closest advisors. he spent years as a lobbyist representing general motors and eli lilly and pfizer. he is one of the people who helped lead the alignment of big business for joe biden as president. he shares their goals and their world view. particularly on the question of china. 20 years ago steve was the department chief of staff to bill clinton. in that role he helped lead the effort to allow china into the world trade organization. that turned out to be not a small thing. his lobbying work. the result was one of the greatest disasters befall this country in peacetime. one study found that thanks to that decision to lead china into

the wto, the united states lost 3.5 million good paying jobs and effects rippled through the generations. if you wonder why there is a fentanyl epidemic in middle america and why the life expectancy for american born middle-class americans is in decline, that's a big part of the reason. millions of men lost their jobs and the society collapsed. if you lived inward from the coast you have seen it firsthand. steve was behind it. he was not punished for it. he was promoted. joe biden wants more of this and biden wants less dissent from the population. biden knows that an armed society is an independent society. he is not for that. that's why he hired congressman rich man who claims he will

disarm law-abiding americans who have done nothing wrong. they will be punished. that's not speculation. richman said so on television. here he is on cnn last year. >> if it's a mandatory buyback you may run into complications but it doesn't offend me. it sounds like something i could support. >> tucker: gun control did not play a large role in our debates coming up to the election. it's becoming clear that preventing americans from defending themselves and their families is a big part of the biden agenda. that's part of the reason the campaign manager is now his deputy chief of staff. when a record number of americans have purchased legal firearms to protect themselves

from sky rocketing crime accident she called for the confiscation of 10 million legally owned firearms. here she is saying that herself. >> a plan that supports mandatory buy backs of weapons of war. a weapons ban is very, very important. that only takes weapons of war off the streets in the future. it does nothing for weapons of war currently out there. i think there are 15 or 16 million. >> tucker: she doesn't know the number. imagine what she knows about firearms or anything else. it doesn't matter. she plans to seize them anyway. mandatory buy backs are seizures taking private property by force. not because the people who own those firearms have done anything wrong. she doesn't think you should be

allowed to have them. what will that look like when the biden administration tries to disarm law-abiding americans? we will find out. the country could look different very soon. alejandro mayorkas was chosen for the department of homeland security. it was created 20 years ago in the wake of the 9-11 attacks. it had one purpose: protect the country. mayorkas has a different plan for dhs. he will use the agency to increase the amount of immigration from the third world into america because america doesn't have enough going on. we don't have enough problems so we will mix it up. in an interview he called for amnesty for anyone who arrives in the united states illegally under the age of 31 regardless of how hold they are now. think about that.

-- old. how many people would that include? tens of millions. watch. >> what else would you look for? >> perhaps a greater population of individuals who would qualify in terms of their age. one of the limitations on daca one had to be under the age of 31 at the time of application even though one was brought to the united states as a 2-year-old. the determining factor should be how old was one when they came to the united states as opposed to now. >> you would like to see it expanded? >> i would. >> tucker: guys like that and barack obama is a perfect example are the opposite of donald trump. no matter what trump says, who could be reading the phone book or the lyrics to the birthday song and it's always big and loud and jarring.

but people the actual radicals, people saying out of the mainstream. you can check the polling. that view is not a majority view. it's a view of a tiny group of radicals but they say it in the calmest tone like it's not a big deal. it is a big deal. in mayorkas gets his way this will be a different country overnight with different politics. that's a snapshot of domestic policy shaping up under the biden administration. how about foreign policy? joe biden is nominating tony blinken to be the secretary of state. blinken co founded a strategic consulting group. because it's not a lobbying operation we don't know that much more. they are not required to

disclose where they get their money. we believe that schmidt from google was one of their clients. blinken has been a global affairs analyst at cnn. blinken fell hard for the lewd ludicrous russian collusion line. watch. >> he is doing mr. putin's bidding. -- the president's on-going collusion with russia is striking intentionally or not. >> tucker: when you criticize the fbi, that's not your first amendment right as an american. you are doing mr. putin's bidding and it's part of the president's on-goingclusion with russia. tony blinken is the best we

produced. there is not a credential he doesn't have. he went to harvard, but he is not a genius. you can tell that by his position on the invasion of iraq. this is him during the obama administration celebrating the invasion of that country like it's been a roaring success. >> the wisdom of going to war with iraq will be debated for years. what is beyond debate and what news coverage of iraq failed to acknowledge is that iraq today is less violent, more democratic and more prosperous and the united states more deeply engaged there than any time in recent history. >> tucker: yeah, iraq is in great shape. good point tony blinken. you seem like a smart guy. you should be secretary of state. under joe biden we will be.

not impressive. it is starting to look like the opposite, the mirror image of what donald trump ran on in 2016. policies so popular trump got elected on them despite having no background in politics and still got elected because those policies were popular and remain popular. biden is about to give us the opposite. more giveaways to china. more pointless wars in the middle east that no one outside of washington supports. massive increases in illegal immigrants and a huge drop in american wages that always is the result of that when you flood the low end labor pool, the price of labor goes down. that's called supply and demand but they don't care.

then the chaos and instability at home when they stoked for months. fewer americans able to defend themselves and their families in the face of that chaos which they caught. above all, this is the defining characteristic so far, more corporate control over our lives. this is the point, this is the theme. let's hope we're wrong. as of tonight it looks like this is what we are staring down. if you believe the federal government is powerful now and in some cases too powerful. wait until it aligns with big business. that appears to be happening. how many people knew they were voting for that when they voted for this guy? probably not too many. charlie heard is the opinion editor at the washington "times." you are watching this cabinet come together. these choices by joe biden. this is the first glimpse we are

getting what biden believes because so one asked him when he ran for president. what is the picture you think is emerging? >> it's truly extraordinary. the arrogance of joe biden finding ourselves raz we are right now. not only did he not have the decency to ask for the job or campaign or interview for it, at one point he told people, i am not going to tell you until or unless i get elected. say what you want about donald trump. donald trump asked for people's votes. what comes with that, we know the issues. the candidate comes with the mandate. when you have somebody like joe biden, we comes with a blank slate and fills it with whatever he wants. what he is filling it with right

now is a globalist, everything he's done for the past 50 years. what is frightening. 2016 was a rejection of that mentality. 2020 -- i don't think 2020 was an embrace of this state. joe biden ran as i am a nice guy. i am not donald trump. don't ask me any questions. that's what he got elected on. if you go back to 2008, barack obama ran on rejecting the exact same stuff going on inside washington, d.c. remember hope and change? joe biden thinks he can put humpty-dumpty back together in washington. the terrifying thing who knows whether republicans will be able to capitalize on it and make joe biden pay for it. what voters are getting is not what they wanted out of this

election. >> tucker: if you look at the backgrounds of almost everyone biden says he plans to hire, these people are lobbyists and shills for big multi-nationals. if republicans are paying attention, wait a second we are not the party of soulless big corporations. we have to be the party of everybody else. do you think they figured that out? >> i don't know if they have. one of the biggest obstacles in washington for president trump was republicans. that's because they refused to understand that. the most important lesson republicans in washington can learn from donald trump is exactly that: they are here to represent the people and not whether it's corporate interests, state interests. all of these people -- wall street is thrilled with what is going on in washington right

now. the international community, whatever the hell that, they are thrilled with what they are seeing out of washington right now. that's not the american people. >> tucker: i can't resist asking you this. it's off topic but it was striking. you saw general mattis who worked in this administration saying the first thing biden needs to do is take america first as an idea out of the military's operational understanding. like america first is no longer the point of having a military. what do you make of that? >> obviously on the face of it, it's insanity. you would think that democrats joe biden and anybody who wouldutter such a nonsensical thing would pay a heavy price. the question comes back -- are republicans smart enough to

weaponize that against democrats? i pray they are because they are our last hope. >> tucker: thank you. the coronavirus lockdowns came and small businesses died and jeff bezos made $70 million. a quality is rick savage who refused to go along with the program. he's been under attack from the governor of maine. he will join us after the break. we'll be right back.

>> tucker: well the coronavirus lockdowns hurt the country. they have been great for companies that don't like the country. like amazon. they profited more than anybody else. small businesses and restaurants especially have been destroyed. research by the website yelp half of the restaurants shut down for the coronavirus closed by good by july. one restaurant that refused to

close was in maine. the owner came on this show in april to announce he will would remain open in defiance of the one of the worst governors in the country. >> we encourage all businesses in maine to open up. get this summer tourist going or we will lose a third of restaurants and hotel and other businesses. it's time to go back to work. >> tucker: that was in april. rick saffivage defied the gover who is vicious. she set out to destroy his life. finally janet mills got his restaurant shut down this week. rick savage joins us tonight with an update. you knew you were taking a rink

speaking against your governor. that should not be the case in a free country. what happened? >> 100%. tucker, since i came on your show. we opened up and she had the state troopers in her office at 9 o'clock to figure out how to shut us down. we opened up at 11. they showed up after 4. health inspectors. they shook our hands and walked them down to the office. 6 of us in a 6 by 12 office. the health inspector took our health license which means we can't serve booze. we signed the paperwork. we were good with them. they left. the next day we got another one. we are up to like 30 inspections since i was on your show.

they opened up a court for us. the courts were shut down. she opened up the courts for us. these are the court papers since may 1st. we have been clean and open and done 85,000 people. no cases. same people in there every day. same staff and same people at the bar. >> tucker: is there any evidence at all that your restaurant has been a source of coronavirus infections? any reason for doing this to you? >> not at all. none. they have been fining me $600 a day for months to stay open. the health inspectors in my office did not have masks on and didn't do social distancing. the health inspect or came in

several times with no protection gear. we are the most independent restaurant in the state of maine. the only restaurant in the state of maine that has been in court. we are the only restaurant in the state of maine they shut down. we are the only 2 people my brother and myself that have a mask mandate that orders me to wear a mask 100% of a time in my restaurant even if i am eating or drinking. i made a deal i would stay out of my own restaurant to keep this open for my staff. no they struck it down. imposed a $5,000 fine on us starting today. she was chuckling like a kid in a candy store. i have 65 families that work there. we are come into holidays. we will take care of our staff for the holidays. my brother and myself don't work

in that restaurant. we have 6 other companies. they are singling me out because i called her out. we had a commissioner of alcohol at a meeting 2 weeks ago, a zoom meeting. he said in the zoom meeting, he apologized for being behind and working on a 39 counts against a brewing crump. >> tucker: the media in your state is corrupt and took the side of your governor who is incompetent. rick savage, i hope you will come back and tell us how the story ends. >> we have a go fund me. we raised $100,000 and we gave is back to small businesses and used the rest for lawyers.

it's about the freedom in the people in maine. we are in a really bad spot. we will lose a lot more businesses. >> tucker: rick savage, thank you very much. just a couple hundreds away from the sunday river brewing company governor andrew cuomo is urging people not to celebrate thanksgiving but he announced he was celebrating thanksgiving with his own family. >> the story is my mom is going to come up and two of my girls. that's the current plan. but the plans change. hmmm, but that's my plan. >> tucker: oh, so you are not allowed to celebrate thanksgiving with your family but governor cuomo is because he is the governor and you are not.

well, people did not respond well to that. so he changed his plan. he will be working on thursday. he almost got away with it. good luck to other new yorkers who try to behave like governor cuomo behaft. -- haveed. he attacked any sheriff who won't comply with the order. this is a sheriff who refuses to enforce this unjust order. tell us your position on this order? >> well, it's founded in my background as a county court judge for 20 years and a district attorney and now a sheriff. and the constitution. the constitution says that a sheriff or law enforcement has an obligation to the oath i took which in this case an executive order aimed at how many people you have in your own house in

thanksgiving on its face is unconstitutional. i had a man tell me he was scared to go to his son's house and have thanksgiving because there would be 14 of them. i said why are you scared? well, we don't want to get a ticket or a fine. i responded in a facebook post a week and a half ago. it took off. i said i won't enforce an unconstitutional executive order. some orders are enforceable against bowling alleys and restaurants. you should be free of government interfere in your own home. >> tucker: for taking that stand the governor attacked you? >> well, he made remarks about myself and other sheriffs being arrogant, acting as dictators.

picking and choosing the laws we choose to enforce. this is not a law. it's an executive orders. some have the force of the law because you have the state liquor authority and the health department. similar to the guy you had from maine, savage, the state authority has control over you because of the state liquor authority. people say they want to be included. they will protect families and loved ones. but when it's dictated you have to limit, that right away puts people on their backs. they don't want to cooperate. not because -- everybody wants to reduce the covid. my mom is in a nursing home for 8 months. i have not been able to hug her

or kiss her. when i visit her now she only recognizes me 1 in 4 times. people can't be with family members especially when they are dying. >> tucker: sheriff, thank you. i appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: in january there will be 2 senate races in the state of georgia to determine the fate of the united states. if democrats win they control the entire government. what would that mean? it's worth knowing. we will tell you after the break.

>> tucker: for the first time in a decade democrats will hold the house of representatives and the executive branch. in january the state of georgia will vote in 2 separate run offs for senate seats and the results will determine which party controls the senates. the stakes are huge. some republicans say maybe we should let the republicans lose because they are mad at the party in washington. they have every reason to be mads at the party in washington. they should be punished but the rest of us should not be punished. think about what this might mean. the majority leader chuck

schumer. watch this. >> then we take georgia and we change the world! now we take georgia and we change america. >> tucker: then we change america. they are not kidding and you should know that. if democrats take full control the first priority is to pass the heroes act. you are told that's a coronavirus economic relief package and there is some of that but there is a lot more. there are a punch of policies to create a permanent democratic majority and legalize ballot harvesting allowing them to collects absentee ballots and send them in. future elections would be worse and more corrupt. that's a fact. the bill would allow illegal

aliens to receive the $1200 stimulus check. people who have no right to be in this country would receive tax dollars? why? the bill would release federal inmates with health conditions and felons over the age of 50. some won't cause any harm but health conditions are broadly defined so healthy criminals will be on the streets. it would pay states to release prisoners. more visa's for foreign physicians. they would expand financial services based on race in the marijuana business? that's the answer. even if you are for legalized weed what is this about? it's about corporate profits.

the word diversity appears 20 times in the bill. if democrats take the senate things will change fast in ways most people won't like. legislation would no longer take 60 votes to get through the congress because if democrats control the senate they eliminate the filibuster. >> when the democrats have the white house again, if mitch mcconnell tries to do what he did to president obama we should get rid of the filibuster. >> the filibuster another jim crow relic. >> tucker: checks and balances are racist said obama. with no filibuster, the democratic senate could do

whatever it wanted like pass the gun confiscation program. democrats would have the power to transform the courts by packing them. say good-bye to an independent judiciary. with democratic control of all 3 branches of government no more checks and balances to joe biden's power. biden promises to pass the equality act. it achieves the opposite of equality. it would force public schools to allow biological males participate in girl's sports. what will that do to your daughters? cory booker unveiled the justice for black farms. read the bill. it would create an agency for ecquital land access. they would spend up to $8

billion buying private land and doling it out on the basis of race. oh, that sounds like a good idea. a democratic congress could wipe away any federal law that protects christians or jews. it would bankrupt the gun industry. allow people to sue gun manufactures for violence committed by criminals. they would repeal the hyde amendment that prevents your tax dollars from being used to pay for abortions. what would happen? stacey abrams the new attorney general. this could happen. it's not a secret. they talked about it openly.

if democrats win the senate seats in georgia, there is no limit to what they can do. you may be angry at the republican party. again, you have every right to be, but do you want to live in that country? you should think about that. a new study by scientists in norway upends the official narrative on climate change. we'll be right back.

>> ♪ >> tucker: you hear people bark about climate science. here's some climate science. a new study shows even if human being cut greenhouses emissions to zero, global temperatures would rise for 400 more years. michael is the author of apocalypse never and explains this study. tell us what this study finds

and its implications. >> even if we stopped all emissions today, we would still see climate change and global warming over the next 400 years through a combination of factors. it's something we have known. but you are right to point out there is a simpolilissimplicits can stop this. >> tucker: we can stop climate change but that's not true? >> we have been doing well adapting to the climate. deaths from natural disasters declined. a well managed forest survived

fires. sea level rise we are adapting to. what i object to is the sense we are these helpless people unable to adapt to our conditions. that study says we are past of the point of return. that's how it always is. who would want to return to past years. we will be happy to get through 2020. it's aimed at grabbing headlines and misses the big picture of how well we adapt to our environments. >> tucker: this is the bad news for the people trying to control us with climate solutions? >> yes, if you look at the biden climate plan it's still the green new deal.

buying solar panels made in china. if these guys really cared about climate change, they would push for a green nuclear deal. we are at risk for losing our nuclear plants because of the democrats. >> tucker: and spoils the natural environment they want to protect with wind turb bins. -- turbines. silicone valley got joe biden elected. a tech entrepreneur has a plan to fix it. he joins us next.

>> tucker: the most powerful companies in history in silicone did everything they could go to get joe biden elected. it worked. they doesn't stop with his election. facebook implemented a new aggressive policy that elevates left wing media out lets over everyone else. cnn and the "new york times" will get more visibility on the site and conservative sites get less. peter built a multi-billion dollars tech company by age of

40. we are happy to have him on tonight. thanks for coming on. it seems like these companies flex their muscles and they did in the months before the election. but they are continuing to do that. it's a threat to our democracy. how do we respond? >> absolutely. tucker. i want to explain the reason i decided to come out. big tech took a cheap shot on the american people. particularly the working class. i went to harvard law and you spent 4 years in silicone valley in seattle, i am a member of the working class. i believe in them. they are my people. the working class has suffered tremendously. there is a feeling of despair and darkness. my message is a message of light and hope. big tech has awoken a sleeping giant. that's much bigger than big

tech. it's the american people. they are now ready to fight. >> tucker: what should that battle look like, do you think? >> i think the solution requires strategy. we need to do 3 things. first invest in technology entrepreneurs who are grounded in christian thinking. and second we need to create new tech power centers outside of silicone valley in seattle where faith, family and freedom flourish. third launch a new tech movement and rally those tech professionals who believe the same. >> tucker: wow! you just set up i hope a number of future segmentes on the show to put meat on those bonus. do you see this forming now? >> absolutely.

tucker. there is great hope in the future. i want the audience and you to know that. we will take leadership from big tech. they have proven they are not able to serve people. they don't believe in people. we do. they can only speak to computers. we can speak to the soul. >> tucker: do you plan to work yourself towards this solution in the coming months and years? >> absolutely. i have already relocated by company to austin, texas. we are growing like crazy. we are having a lot of influx of people interested since we took a stand on the issue. we will keep coming and we will be victorious ultimately. >> tucker: peter, we will see you again. >> keep me in your prayers. >> tucker: amen. that's it for us tonight. we will come back on thanksgiving day with a special show. we will have someone sitting in

this chair tomorrow and friday. we will be back on monday. have the best thanksgiving. see you soon. >> happy thanksgiving to you and your family. welcome to "hannity." i am jason in for sean. tonight with cases of covid-19 on the rise democratic governors are in full-on panic mode. this is especially true in new york where infections are spiking. new york is already home to america's second highest covid-19 death rate due to governor cuomo nursing home fiasco. according to hollywood andrew cuomo is a hero. >> to my governor.
