♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." hope you had a great and relaxing thanksgiving weekend away from the endless drone of news. if you somehow managed to pull that off a few bay days of peace and happiness with the ones you loved you found it's like a spa treatment and better off for it. also wondering what happened? what did you miss over the weekend? we are here to tell you. for starters joe biden broke his foot in a couple of places sounds serious but don't worry about it. biden was just out playing with his dog as healthy vibrant adults in full commands of their faculties and not at all fragile and fading often do. it could have happened to anyone, seriously totally normal. cnn in fact wrote a piece

congratulating biden for it. biden's injuries are far better than donald trump's so don't ask questions. have you bigger stories to worry about in the news landscape. for example, did you hear that joe biden picked women to lead the white house communications office? that was historic moment, nothing like that has happened in this country since the presidency of donald trump. another triumph for the forces of identity. systemic sexism final live in retreat. nothing can stop joe biden from smashing the glass ceiling, not even his dog. that's what you missed. oh, one other thing the country's public health establishment has tortured your children for 8 months for no apparent reason. that happened. that story has not received a lot of coverage but it's been confirmed tonight. the authorities have admitted it. 60 million american children languishing in their rooms since spring, sitting in front of screens learning nothing isolated from human contact in many cases driven to mental

illness: we can now report there was no reason for any of that the experts were wrong. they had no idea what they were doing. but the most amazing part and this really is the headline of the story. is that they knew they were wrong when they did it. but they kept lying about it even as american children began to kill themselves. on sunday in new york, city officials all but admitted this. they announced the reopening elementary schools. whose are the same schools that they closed fewer than two weeks ago. now, from a medical standpoint, nothing has changed. new york didn't get an early shipment of the pfizer vaccine there wasn't some ground breaking new research paper that revolutionized our understanding of the coronavirus. nothing like that at all. in fact, parents simply had enough. they forced bill de blasio to admit the oobous. this virus is not a threat to children. as de blasio put it in that weird euphemistic i think that dumb people speak quote we know health realities for the youngest kids are the most

favorable. well, yes, we know that. we have known it for a long time we knew it when bill de blasio shut down new york schools. and tony fauci knew it, too though he didn't say anything about it. now he has decided to say something about it 8 months late. here's anthony fauci on sunday. and as you watch this, keep in mind that this man on the screen is leading our response, america's response to the coronavirus. >> close the bars and keep the schools open is what we really say. obviously you don't have one size fits all but as i said in the past, and as you accurately quoted me, the default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school or to get them back to school. if you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected. >> tucker: oh i have always said you should keep the schools open the man in charge of the

coronavirus response to a nation whose schools have been closed for months. i always said that. check the tape because, quote: if you look at the data, says anthony fauci, wait a second, why is this just now occurring to tony fauci? isn't this fauci's entire job to, quote, look at the data? yes, it is. and, yet, somehow he never thought to do it. that's our carl rove czar. over the summer when the data looked the same as they do tonight, fauci explained that he couldn't really say if kids should be allowed to go to school. it was, quote: complicated. except it wasn't complicated. it wasn't complicated then. it's not complicated now. in april, many months ago, study by the journal of the personal american medical association. school aged children who get the coronavirus quote develop only mild symptoms and typically recover within two weeks. months later, same story. in june a study in the lancet affirmed this quote covid-19 is generally a mild disease in children including in infants.

other studies found the exact same thing. no study has found anything but that there was never much question about it. but if you are looking for more evidence, check the death rate. those are publicly available. deaths are not hard to track. consider the state of new jersey. that's one of the states hit hardest by the coronavirus. so far in new jersey not a single school-aged child also a died from the coronavirus. not one. many children have died from car accidents and fires and drug ods and suicides. none have died from covid-19. in california, the biggest state in the united states, 40 million people live there, a total of two people under the age of 18 have died from the coronavirus. two. the numbers nationwide according to the latest cdc numbers, 123 americans under the age of 18 have died from the coronavirus. 123 out of 350 million. we shut the schools anyway. crushing millions of kids,

affecting their futures in ways we can't even understand at this point but it's clear it's bad. really bad in some cases. so the question is why do we do this? and the answer is to save the teachers. the teachers unions pushed this and they are servants of the democratic party obeyed. single largest donors to the democratic party so of course they did. unionized teachers get to stay home collecting checks for their nine month a year jobs these classrooms are just too dangerous. it's like the battle of the bulge five days a week and that's exactly what they have done. does the data say about this? well, for teachers under the age of 50. and that's the vast majority of them the odds of surviving a controversies infection are roughly 95.98%. but we should tell you for teachers under 70, the risk of dying h escalates to a verifying 99.5% chance of survival. and by the if teachers do get sick it likely won't be from teaching, children appear not to spread the coronavirus.

certainly not effectively. we have known this for a long time. back in may researchers in europe found, quote, children do not appear to be drivers of transmission and we argue that reopening schools should be considered safe, accompanied by certain measures. again, none of this is new. tony fauci, the data guy, knew it at the time. and so did anyone in the news media which could read most of them yet they kept lying about it. all of them. in july, here is just one example. a panel of physicians and experts on infectious disease went on television to explain that going to school isn't dangerous for anyone. they would send their own kids. watch the news anchor's reaction. >> would you let your kids go back to school? >> i will. my kids are looking forward to it. >> yes. period, absolutely. >> absolutely. as much as i can. [laughter] >> without a hesitation. >> without a hesitation, yes. >> i have no concerns about sending my chilgd to school in the fall.

>> i would let my kids go back to school. >> dr. john torres, nbc news. >> they all said yes. >> they all said yes said the reader, fapping shock. can you believe that? doctors have concluded their own children should go to school. they must be crazy. what do doctors know about coronavirus? what was this about? and of course you know the answer. it was about donald trump. donald trump in this case agreed with the doctors, therefore, the doctors had to be mocked and ignored. here's what the president said about schools in july. >> we have to open our schools. open our schools. stop this nonsense. we open our schools. [applause] >> tucker: stop this nonsense. we reopen our schools. now, in points of fact, as a scientific matter, that turned out to be sound policy based on sound data. but the media told us the exact

opposite of that one headline at cnn warned of, quote: the very clear dangers of donald trump's push to reopen schools. google didn't censor that as misinformation. it should have. another headline called out, quote: donald trump's mind bending logic on school reopening. mind bending logic. those damn data again. joe biden's campaign didn't want to hear it. they didn't want you to hear it either. school was dangerous. period. donald trump claimed the opposite, therefore, it was too dangerous to send your kids or for you to decide to send them. watch. >> ignoring how the virus spreads, risking teachers and parents' lives, going against the advice of experts. >> it's had very little impact on young people. >> do you trust him to do what's best for our children? because this is not a test. >> tucker: yeah, going against the advice of experts. in this country that's no longer allowed. even and maybe especially when the experts are completely

wrong. what's the message in the message couldn't be clearer. they are not your kids anymore. if they were your kids, you could make the key decisions about their lives. but they are not. those kids, your former kids belong to tony fauci now. tony fauci, america's parent. he will make the decisions about your kids, thank you very much. in conjunction with the nation's uber mom who by the way is also 80 years old mrs. nancy d. pelosi. watch her fret about the health of our children. >> are you confident that students and teachers will go back safe live to school in the fall? >> no, i think what we heard from the secretary was malfeasance and dereliction of duty. this is appalling. they are messing, they are messing, the president and his administration are messing with the health of our children. going back to school is -- presents the biggest risk for the spread of the coronavirus. >> tucker: um-huh.

if that's not criminal what she just said, we may need to redefine what it means to commit a crime. 60 million school-aged children affected by a decision that was wrong. and many of them hurt for life. but we just blow right past it. and allow political leaders like that to blow right past it with phrases like the health of our children. what happens when you lock children in their rooms in front of screens and prevent them from experiencing human contact? has nancy pelosi ever been ask you had that question? has she ever wonder you had about the answer? according to the centers for disease control, a total of 522 children between the ages of 5 and 14 died of suicide in 2017. and that same age group only 42 children have died from the coronavirus so far this year. what are those suicide numbers going to look like if we continue to take nancy pelosi's advice about the health of our children? we already have some indications

of that. future years will reveal the whole picture. and you can be certain it will be horrifying. but for right now, with incomplete data, here's what we know. in saint paul, minnesota, for example, 40% of all grades given this year have been f's. and you can be certain they are grading lightly. it's still double the normal amount of failures. in fairfax county, yeah. the number of middle and high school students with failing grades has increased by 83%. the number of students with disabilities who are failing two or more classes has increased by more than 100 percent. in a lot of school districts, huge numbers of kids never even registered for online classes. do you have kids? do you know anyone who does? they are learning nothing. those are real consequences. if you want to know the health of a society, look at its young people. look at its schools. these are obvious points that are being roundly ignored and anyone who makes them is attacked for making them. we will look back on this moment

in shame. back in june we interviewed dr. scott atlas who was then a member of the white house coronavirus task force. weigh one of the very few people then or now brave enough to make a simple point. here's what he said. >> but the points about the schools is really critical because this is the most irrational public policy probably in modern history. children have virtually zero risk of getting a serious complication. virtually zero risk of dying. you don't lock down the children because you are personally afraid. these totally outrageous. >> tucker: dr. scott atlas was attacked as a monster for saying that really attacked. dr. tony fauci, by contrast, was defied. sign signs throughout northwest d.c. said i believe dr. fauci. the truth is that scott atlas was right and dr. fauci was revealed as a power mad incompetent. that's not our opinion by the way. the data prove it.

doctorate also a resigned from his advisory role of the administration today. he is now a senior fellow at the hoover institution. we are happy to have him with us tonight. doctorate also a, thank you so much for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: this does seem like an indication, dr. fauci's remarks seem like a vindication in the opening of new york schools as well of your point that you made many months ago. i'm wondering how you are feeling as you watch that. >> well, you know, i was just speaking about the data as i always did. and it is true that the data was correct then and that children have extremely low risk of a serious illness. and do not frequently spread this infection. that was known then and we also knew the harm, the serious harms to children from closing in person schools. and nothing has really changed. it's just that some of these things are now being acknowledged including, you know, other things like, fringes, people with protection beyond what an antibody test

show. et cetera. the point isn't that i was right. the point isn't that the advice i gave the president was right. the point isn't that the president was right. although those things are true. the point is that we really need to open up in person schools asap because it's so destructive, so harmful. really nothing more for our country than i can think that. >> tucker: believe that our leaders clearly don't. before we move onto the next stage of the prohm and i hope for that you comes soon. explain four why people who had access to that data which is everyone with a computer. people like dr. fauci could have ignored what they were seeing from the study. how could they have not acknowledged this six months ago? >> i find myself asking that question. but, you know, we are living in

extremely polarizing time. you know this as much as anybody. it's an election year. we have social media where people go sort of blahistic and feel empowered to do so. i think there is a serious problem honestly in the country. because there is a bigger issue here and that is that america and it's universities really need to allow, without attack, without rebuke, without intimidation the free exchange of ideas it is from the free exchange of ideas these ideas are so solve this crisis, every other crisis. free exchange of ideas is the foundation of every civilized society does it make you nervous for our future people with long list of credentials who should

know better aren't stupid embrace the kind of witchcraft and superstition and said things provablably untrue for months. what does that say for our future if we continue to allow that? >> this is very important. we see that objective journalism is nearly dead and i think we now saw that science has been politicized and it's very, very dangerous. i think we should all be concerned about it. >> tucker: doctorate also a resigned today after normal course of events 130 days i believe serving the administration. congratulations. >> okay thank you very much. tongue tuck thank you. schools as we just told you are reopening in the company's biggest city in new york. many businesses are facing new coronavirus restrictions this

week including bans on indoor dining. in response to this total economic destruction of entire sector of the economy. mac's autonomous zone. we refuse to abide by any rules and regulations put forth by the mayor of new york city and the governor of new york state. >> keith is the owner of that restaurant mac's public house. thanks so much for coming on. tell us what made you decide to. >> thanks for having me. >> basically what has taken place is the food industry and bar industry, we all end up wanting work with the government never came toyota professionals the ones that own the bars and restaurants, they never came to us to end up asking how to do

that in a safe way. basically what they did is dictate fouse what we are supposed to do. with doing that you still weren't able to survive. so it brought us to a point that they are saying that they were shutting us down again. that they weren't allowing inside dining and i was put against the wall it's either i take a stance and keep my establishment open hoping people keep coming to people pay bills to pay bills for my family. so behind on bills i really felt i had no other choice. and i was -- with doing this it was to tell the governor and to tell the mayor, that you need to work with us. but you didn't want to work with us. and we're forced into this situation that i don't know what else i can do. >> tucker: yeah. i feel for you. turns out your white privilege isn't paying the bills automatically.

you are coming on the show. you are taking a stand. you are clearly going tone rage the people in charge of new york city and new york state. are you worried they are going to come after you? >> they are coming after me already. i already had the state liquor authority, we caught the radar of the mayor right away. the sheriff came out as a bully tactic to fine us. they were very professional, the sheriff at the same time they were coming on the orders of the mayor because of the fact that i was remaining open and still remaining open past 10:00. it brought the attention of the other agencies out there and they are coming after me. >> tucker: your tax dollars at work. you are a brave man and we wish you godspeed and we hope you will come back and tell us how it goes. keith, thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> tucker: so, coronavirus vaccine is on the way.

many reports. when it does arrive, who gets it first? states are in some places apportioning it depending on your skin color, for real. and other highly nonscientific criteria. how is this going to work? we will explain that. ♪ ♪ we believe at newday usa we have a noble purpose. we want to be known as america's mortgage company for veterans and active-duty service people. some of them are giving their lives right now, today, for the freedoms that we have here in this country. so for us, at newday to help those people at this point in time. it's a labor of love, it's a noble service, and that's what we're all about.

>> tucker: so the vaccine is coming apparently. will you take it? that's one question. who should get it first? that's another question. advisers to the cdc are holding an emergency meeting tuesday. tomorrow to vote on who they think should get the vaccine first. now, you might assume this would be based on, i don't know, science? most important criteria would be your age or state of immunodeficiency, but, in some states, officials are another idea. your skin color should play a role in this. so if you assumed that identity politics was just a harmless announce that people couldn't actually die because of it. think again. watch this clip from the governor of california. >> experts in safety as well as experts looking at equity and looking at the distribution in geriatric perspective and looking at distribution, again along the specter of making sure

black and brown communities disproportionately are benefited because of the impact they have felt disproportionately because of covid-19. >> tucker: man, that's just one way to look at it. of course joe biden's advisers get to decide how to administer the vaccine we could see a whole different set of criteria at the federal level. a top biden coronavirus adviser doctor ezekiel emanuel wrote a famous 2014 piece in the atlantic why i hope to die at 75. so how many people over the age of 75, the most vulnerable population, would ezekiel emanuel allow to get this vaccine? that and many other questions like it are the concerns of charles, the author of existing throw away culture and someone who thinks about this stuff an awful lot. professor, thanks so much for coming on tonight. so, i'm concerned that this vaccine will be yet another way that the country is divided along various lines. and it's kind of the last thing in my view that we need right

now. tell us from your perspective how this vaccine should be apportioned. who should get priority and why? >> well, i would start with nursing home residents number one, tucker. you and i have talked about this a lot. you talked about it with janice dean a lot. you have been a hero for this frankly in moving the needle. it looks like the cdc tomorrow, a very important meeting on tuesday will, in fact, prioritize nursing home residents. thank god. >> tucker: good. >> there is another disturbing piece of news, frankly, tucker about this and it's related to the package you just did on california. they apparently are going to -- they are going to put essential workers who are important, don't get me wrong, they are very important ahead of the old and ahead of the sick who are not in nursing homes. now, if there someone thing we know about coronavirus, it's that the old and the sick are the most at risk. and the idea that we would apportion the very limited vaccine especially here in december and january in ways that would abandon them is a

whole new disturbing thing to think about. >> tucker: especially sings the reason, of course, is that essential workers, so-called and some are essential, of course, but they tend to be unionized and they have political power whereas the old and sick do not. >> yeah, don't get me wrong, think we should prioritize in due course essential workers. they should be ahead of professors or talk show hosts. >> tucker: i agree. >> shouldn't be ahead of people with diabetes and asthma who are over 65 years old. that's nuts. that's nuts. and it actually comes from a good place and maybe understandable place. essential workers are disproportionately poor and people of color. the way to focus on those populations is to focus on those populations that focuses on those that are sick and those who are older. those are the people most ought risk and that's where our focus needs to be. >> tucker: we know from the data it's very clear who is the most likely to die from a coronavirus

infection. so, it sounds like you are saying those people should get first deliberates. >> yeah, it's not complicated. we are going to go with nursing home workers first and probably, you know, people working in house of representatives second. and then we are going to have to decide in january and february. and it seems obvious that we would pick those who are most at risk but that's why i think your listeners really need to pay very close attention to this meeting tomorrow and let their local state and municipal representatives know if they disagree with the decision the cdc comes down with. >> tucker: i think that's fair and smart. thanks so much for joining us, charles, great to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: people describe themselves as sovereign citizens are now seizing homes, not their homes, other people's homes by force in several states. what is this exactly? is it real? it appears to be. we will tell you about it after the break. plus, new documents show the consultants mackenzie and

company told perdue pharma one of the companies that drove the opioid epidemic offer discounts to distributers with commerce died or od'd. one of the most shocking stories of the year we have the documents strayed ahead.

>> tucker: if you sense that property rights are eroding you are not imagining it. people who describe themselves as sovereign citizens are trying

to forcefully evict homeowners from their own home in the suburbs of seattle. a radio host from that city has been on top of it and joins us to explain. jason, what is this? >> well, it's a group called the moreish sovereign citizens out in you had muns edmund group ext squatters who believe that the law us of the land do not apply to them and they have decided to go into neighborhoods, waterfront properties, very nice homes saying that they actually own the land and they should take it over. the homeowner usually is like what are you talking about? please leave. and it is just very bizarre. it's not just happening in the pew jengt sound. it's happening all across the country. most recently in georgia, for example. a man named joel fed decided to literally take ownership, decide that he is not going to pay rent on property that he doesn't actually own. it's part of, i think, this nationwide trending of laws not really applying to certain folks. in this case they are not

activists they are just kind of in they. >> this is illegal. once you see that that means you want it, it's yours. i want it, it's mine. i'm about to start, you know, the process on reclaiming the land. hey, y'all can keep paying rent. you can all think this is a game. y'all can think we are just capping. but we are taking the land back. >> it doesn't quite work that way. i can assure you. tuck suburban seattle. jason rantz, i hope you will keep on top of this for us. >> i will, thank you. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: the story that didn't get enough attention perdue pharma, the pharma company that

opioids pled guilty in causing the opioid epidemic which has cost hundreds of thousands of deaths in americans in this country. we have internal documents how purdue consult distant at mackenzie and company saw those deaths than nothing more than the cost of doing business. transaction costs. joe has been on top of this more than almost anybody in the media. he wrote the book pharma covered the longer than anyone else. joe, thanks so much for coming on. this is a really stunning story. what have we learned? >> yeah, you know, there are very few things after spending five years into looking at the american drug industry. very few things that shock me anymore. it was a shocking development. i had to read that document twice to make sure that i really understood it. and what it really is that in 2017 mckinsey had been advising purdue 8 years different aspects of their business it was tough to sell oxycontin because the of the fact it had become america's

biggest drug abuse crisis and lethal crisis ever. they had to come up with something different than before. what they come up with was an idea why dough don't we encourage zhoozh companies, an them, cvs, who are paying for oxycontin under insurance plans, give them some incentive to make sure they don't knock oxy off the insurance plans give them bonuses based on the number of people who either get addicted to oxy or die of oxycontin overdoses between $6,000 and $14,000 a person so they came up with this fancy 42 page presentation powerpoint that they gave to the purdue executives who loved it and said look it's going to cost you anywhere between $3 million and $35 million a year to some of the big insurance companies but it will be some incentive so that you make sure they keep you on formula and continue to get paid out. one of the most outrageous and cold calculus people of businesses from the people who brought you enron the biggest

and brightest at mckin is i. very disturbing. >> so mckinsey is the incubator of ruling class chelsea clinton's former employer. did anyone say hold on a second. >> in 2007 purdue pleading to the misbranding oxycontin who did they go to the next year to make sure weren't regulations from the fda went to mckinsey again. 2012 mckinsey able to go to the new and improved tamper resistant formula that blocked out all generic competition. then the next year in 2013, mckinsey purdue turbo charge the sales and help them through it. what happens in 2018 when the attorney general of massachusetts filed a lawsuits against purdue for the first time you saturday to see emails

♪ >> tucker: when we first started this show four years ago we scoffed at the idea of ufos being real insane. we saw classified video footage of octobers that seemed to defy the laws of physics we showed it to you and our eyes were open. november 15th we took notice helicopter pilots counting sheep over the remote part of the dessert in southeastern utah saw something new and weird and unidentified stationary object a monolith of sorts standing up.

apparently made out of stainless steel. got outside and took pictures in front of it and left. a few other people tracked out and did the same. then on friday night the monolith no one knows where it came from suddenly disappeared around the same time a nearly identical structure apparently surfaced in romania. what does all of this mean? we have no idea. but we will be the first to tell you if we find out because who knows? well here is one thing we do know for sure. we know that social justice is a real concept but in effect it's very often a scam. designed to make some of the most powerful people in the country even more powerful and richer. the latest example comes from hollywood and the times up organization. that was part of the me too movement. do yodo you remember? for a while it was pretty famous and hauled in $3.6 million in 2018. what did they do with the money? they spent 1.4 million on

salary. how much did they spent supporting people who said they have been sexually harassed? 312,000. how is that legal exactly? candace owens joins us tonight to assess what exactly just happened. candace, great to see you. those numbers don't seem like they are serving women, do they to you? >> of course they are not serving women. and we see this so much. and i love this story because ultimately points at is just the intellectual bankruptcy of hollywood. they love this movement. you will remember time's up they all wore the black dresses to the oscars because time was really going to be up and it was starting in hollywood and going to benefit all of women. well people have to understand anything be being perpetuated by hollywood nothing more than a trending a bunch of actresses and actors a lot more substantive a lot more going on i'm not just a dumb actress #me too i really care about issues. #times up. #black lives matter look what i put on mine instagram don't you

see i'm much deeper at the end of the day they have no idea what they're talking about. want people to think they are more complex what they're. they lead a bunch of sheep behind them to donate to causes that nobody knows where the money goes. it's always a black hole. black lives matter, no one can answer billions of dollars. are there black schools being built? are there black universities that has anything been done that has been beneficial to the black community? no. but you know what? a bunch of models but the it on their instagram tucker so it must be good. >> tucker: why does nobody ever follow the money on these stories and black lives matter god knows how much money has been shuffled from corporate america to the groups calling themselves black lives matter. no one ever seems to follow up to find out where the money went if these were televangelisted someone would be looking. nobody is why? >> you bet it would because they don't want you looking. that's the point. and i have said this over and over again about black lives matter. i'm going to correct you on one point, tucker. it wasn't millions. it was billions. in the days and weeks following

george floyd's murder, black lives matter raised billions of dollars and they have never been made to account for where those billions of dollars went. and they want us to just look the other way and to not ask questions. here is it, at the end of the day it's emotional manipulation. of course all of us, we care about these issues. no one would ever mock sexual assault victims. no one would ever mock the black person as actually being victimized by a system. >> tucker: of course. >> what we are asking is where is this money going? >> tucker: no, we're not asking that. you are asking it. almost no one else is asking it and bless you for asking because it's an important question. >> i'm definitely asking. >> tucker: candace owens, great to see you. thank you. so joe biden says is he picking someone called neera tanden to head the office of management and budget. omb. not a small job. who is she and why is he picking her? green greenawalt knows the answer is joins us after the break. ♪

never attended. why? >> well, first of all, the package you did as critical as it was of hurt, was generous and she's so much worse than that. in my opinion, she is unqualified for that opinion like she is economist, she worked for hillary clinton and then all she's done in the think tank for last ten years was raise millions of dollars from silicon valley, the gulf states, the real base of the democratic party so they want her to see they regulatory budget and economic policy and the administration on behalf of the rilke situation sees which is all the people that they've been raising millions of dolla dollars. that just makes her a ordinary democrat. she is a swamp creature in that regard. if she is a deranged and dangerous person. i don't mean politically, behaviorally. she's working with wanted to get hillary clinton elected, what of her own reporters was arranged

to have a interview and asked hillary about the iraq war and neera tanden was so angry she punched him. then she claimed she nearly pushed him. when she was running all staff meeting about three years ago, a woman who worked at the thing take file day confidential complaint about sexual harassment against one of neera tanden's male allies. this is something that would have ruined anybody else's careers and she outed the woman at the all staff meeting out of vengeance. she went -- the obama and administration was bombing libya into oblivion and she suggested internally that the way we should reduce the deficit as a nation is to use libya's oil to make them pay us back for the favor of having to destroy their entire government. here's the worst thing about her, talker, the video you showed had her talking about russia collusion. she didn't just push the most maximized version of russia collusion, she pushed the conspiracy theory that's completely reckless and wild

that russia hacked into their voting machines and the reason that her larry lost in 2016 is because the russians changed hillary's votes to trump's votes. that's the real reason hillary lost. if that's the conspiracy theory that two-thirds of democrats believe. how can you have somebody in a position like this whose list is deranged? >> tucker: the real question is why did we not do a entire show talking to you tonight. we totally blew that. i want no more. glenn greenwald, please come back! >> was happy to talk about neera tanden. >> sean>> tucker: she punched hn for questioning hillary about the war. that's a committed staffer. we will be back tomorrow night we will promise you, apm, the

enemy that's totally insincere of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. up ahead, we have great news for you, sean hannity takes over from new york, seven seconds early! >> sean: thank you. i wanted to hear more from gle glenn. getting lectured by people that pushed the moscow ridge, the whole group ek, i frankly don't need their lectures. tucker, great show. welcome to "hannity," great to be a backup he had a great thanksgiving. we start breaking tonight, new developments out of georgia and arizona, the trump campaign continue to investigate election irregularities, allegations of voter fraud kayleigh mcenany, lindsey graham, franc reince pr, and sidney powell will be here. we get exclusive reaction to the presidential pardon. of the work she did on behalf of lieutenant general michael flynn four years of that they put h
