p.m. eastern. first tucker carlson. good night. >> ♪ >> the president of the united states holding a rally in dalton, georgia. his son don on the stage. tomorrow there are 2 senate runoff elections in georgia. good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy 2021. hope you got to spend last week with the people you love. the other point of vacation is to regain perpective and new years is a time to assess the big picture. where we have been and where we are head next. where were we a year ago?

the biggest story in the world was getting almost no attention in our country. a new form of the coronavirus was spreading through central china, it was clear to scientists that virus may have been engineered by the chinese government and established with a lab in wuhan. for a variety of reasons the people in charge of this country didn't want to talk about it. they preferred to change the subject. instead they told us the biggest thing on earth happening on january 4, 2020, was the impeachment of donald trump and nothing was more important than removing him from office. trump's historic crime was a 30 minute phone call with a foreign leader. trump suggested there might be something corrupt about joe biden's son making $40 grand

a month despite having no work experience in the ukraine or the energy business. they told us trump needed to be taken from the white house. a year later they are saying the same thing. telling us donald trump must be impeached over a phone call that took place over the weekend. the president spoke to the secretary of state for georgia. the president believes the election was stolen for him. georgia's secretary of state disagreed. can you listen to the call yourself. it's online. can you make up your own mind about who is right. if you have time, you ought to do that. it's interesting. no matter what you conclude about vote counting in georgia, we are willing to bet you won't decide donald trump's latest phone call is the most important thing happening in the world. not even close. cnn is claiming it it is.

why are they doing that? maybe they are trying to divert your attention again. from what? tomorrow there are two u.s. senate elections in georgia and the outcome will determine who controls the u.s. government. if democrats win both races, the democratic party will run everything! everything in washington from top to bottom. they will be able to do whatever they want. it's hard to remember the last time that more power was at stake in a single day. if you thought about that long enough, you might get involved. the democratic party and the news media would rather you didn't get involved so they encourage you to think about trump's phone call. do you notice a theme?

ignore the details. get mad about it. whatever you do, do not think for yourself. once you do, you might not stop. at some point you might ask bigger and more disruptive questions like: how did this guy win more votes than any other presidential candidate in the history of the united states? seriously this guy. >> good evening. thanks for tuning in. no man has the right to raise a hand to a woman in anger other than in self-defense and that rarely occurs. we have to change the culture and keep punk at it. have the record player at night. -- punching.

we choose science over fiction. we choose truth over facts. >> tucker: you have seen those before. that's who he is. yet, that's the man they are calling the president-elect. more votes than any candidate in history. how did this happen? was it democracy in action? did after 50 years of uninterrupt uninterrupt uninterrupted medockrity in washington did americans decide to be led by joe biden. no, that's not what happened -- not at all. what happened was the people in charge rigged the game. joe biden got his party's nomination for one reason -- because bernie sanders turned out to be more popular than anyone and sanders was a threat

to the democratic establishment and talked about changing tax rates. they crushed him and cnn told us sanders was not only a danger to women everywhere, but he was a russian asset. within days bernie sanders melted away and joe biden got the job. no one expected that, least of biden. he looked more confused than ever. once he was chosen, they knew what to do. every power center on earth joined the cause. that included business, wall street and pharma and silicone valley. they all worked to bypass voters and get joe biden on the white house. google changed its algo rhythm.

the people who controlleded the flow of information in english. here's jack dorsey admitting this in sworn testimony before congress in october. >> does twitter have the ability to influence elections? >> no. we are one part of a spectrum of choices. >> you are testing to it committee right now that when twitter silences people and blocks political speech, that has no impact on elections? >> people have a choice of other communication chance. >> not if they don't have information. >> tucker: yes, we do censor but

you can go elsewhere. there is nowhere else to go. apart from fox news, every major media outlet in the united states is beholden to silicone valley. they generate revenue news organizations need to survive. if you mess with big tech you die. if democrats take over the directly government tomorrow that's it. there would be no way to stop it. it would accelerate. don't think about that. stop talking about the georgia election. donald trump's phone call is the real story. you can think about tuesday and wednesday morning when democrats are in charge and there is nothing you can do about it now or ever.

today, nancy pelosi the speaker of the house came out in favorite of d.c. statehood. that's unconstitutional. the point is two more democrats in the u.s. senate. you have puerto rico and that's four new senators. a permanent new majority. you have a one party state and the game is over. that's coming. it's coming at high speed. just be sure not to think about it. don't think about the democratic candidate runs for the u.s. senate in georgia tomorrow. one is a man called john ossoff. 33 years old. the living embody of unearned privilege. he has done not one thing over the span of his life. his job was working for the single dumbest member of the

house of representatives. -- he could win. you have not been paying attention. the other candidate is the reverend ralfael warnock. he's done a lot of things. this is police body cam footage of his wife describing what sounds like domestic violence. >> i work at the mayor's office. that's a big problem. i have been trying to very quiet about the way he is for the sake of my kids and his reputation. i have kept the way he act under wraps for a long time. today he crossed the line. [crying]. that is what is going on. he is a great actor. he is phenomenal at putting on a really good show. >> tucker: situations like that are complex. domestic situations as the police call them. we don't pretend to know the whole story. we don't have all of the context. we believe in a democracy, when

with someone is running for the u.s. senate you probably ought to know that and the candidate ought to answer questioning. we should have a discussion. it's domestic abuse being alleged. we aired that footage almost 2 weeks ago. no one else has. it's been ignored because domestic abuse is not relevant when powerful democrats commit it. what does warnock have to do with donald trump's phone call? nothing. chip roy is a republican congressman from the state of texas. i am concerned there are a lot of republicans who are taking a a niaalistic position and it

doesn't matter who wins here. there are other things to be mad about. i wonder if you feel that way? >> thanks for having me on. i could not agree more with your opening monologue and where you have been for a long time. the american people are angry. they are angry about big government and about big tech and corporations that are stomping all over small businesses. local governments shutting down small businesses and putting them out of work. they have seen issues with elections that are reducing their faith in the elections that matter for our democracy and country. what happens tomorrow in georgia, if we have a democratically controlled senate, we are at full-scale hot conflict. right now we for a cold civil war. we have a major problem where the american people, the regular people out there that are working every day. are getting trampled by a system

rigged against them. that's what is at stake. in the american people in georgia don't show up and ensure that we hold the senate in the republican hands, that's what is happening. two additional votes out of the senate in washington, d.c. and puerto rico. they lock it down for good. i could not agree more. people need to show up tomorrow to hold the line. >> tucker: if you think the election was rigged, and i absolutely think that, everyone with power aligning against everyone who has no power, that's not democracy, if you are against that, the rigging of elections, why wouldn't you care about the elections getting more rigged? which is the result of one party controlled by the democrats. >> well, there is no question. unlateral disarmament would be a mistake. that's where people are going. i understand how frustrated they are. they saw a president standing up

against the swamp and big tech and those who want endless wars and against china and for a secure border and against those who think our schools should be teaching our children america is evil and wrong. when i drive across central, there are trump flag everywhere still today. they are everywhere. people are in support of the president. why? because he's been standing up for the forgotten american. the american rolled over by wall street and big government in washington in collusion. it's time that ends. the only way that will stop, if you are in georgia and listening to this, show up and go to the polls and vote. the first step is to have a republican controlled senate. those two candidates need to explain why their presence in the senate will be a voice for freedom and liberty and standing up against washington and wall

street. >> tucker: i appreciate you coming on. thank you very much. candace owens thought a lot about this subject. offer of "blackout." and she joins us. i don't think there are many people who despise the current race more than i do. the only bill to veto president trump was a bill that would allow him to pull our troops back from pointless wars. i am not sure how giving democrats control of everything will help that end? >> yes, i agree. the georgia race is triteical. -- critical. the republicans across the country understand this. what you laid out in your monologue is super important.

the left has laid out a strategy to transform america. the school systems and they want to change america via the political system. they are talking about packing the supreme court or not talking about packing the supreme court which joe biden wants to do. the media, social media and blocking things and saying they are using this for fact checkers. they only fact check conservative positions and allow other lies to go through. i think what the voters this georgia are thinking about in this moment, of course we want to make sure we have the senate. it's a good defensive tragedy. -- strategy. what is the offensive strategy? the left is doing things by any means necessary? when do we fight and giant oft play defense? >> tucker: i could not agree. i have mixed feelings because

there are so many republicans pretending to represent their voters who are selling their voters out. they should all be eliminated. it's a choice between an unimpressive party and a really dangerous one. it's hard to explain that to people. >> our options here we can have offense and no defense or we can say we at least need to hold the sena senate. the left understand that republicans won't riot or cheat. we have to evolve a strategy to meet this. the democrats are serious about transforming america and republicans have to be serious about combating that radical rans formation.

>> tucker: nicely put. for a year you heard people describe it. people who know better. people who have degrees you can't understand. as a conspiracy theory that is the coronavirus did not arrive from nature, didn't come from a bat in a wet market. maybe it was engineered in a lab. a lot of scientists believe that. we will tell you what they have been hiding next. to veteran spouses everywhere we salute you. we salute how you balanced work, family and home life. we salute your courage. and your service. by offering you our service. newday usa specializes in helping you make the most of your va benefits. from home purchase to refinance.

>> ♪ >> ♪ >> tucker: one of the most interesting things we noticed over the past 4 years is how many conspiracy theorys have turned out to be completely true. take your pick. last year 2020 you were called a science denier unless you agreed that the coronavirus came from a bat that was sold in a wet market in wuhan in central china. that was the story. we didn't know if it was true or not. we thought we would ask questions. in february we spoke to a researcher who was not afraid of being called a science denier. used a scientific tool known as

a map. it turns out the wuhan institute of virology in china, a that received 3.7-million dollars from the obama administration, was very close to the site of the coronavirus outbreak. >> i think it escaped from the lap. the chinese government told us it did. wuhan is the only level-4 laboratory in china. that's where you would put a dangerous pathogen and would be experimenting on it. it makes sense the epicenter of the epidemic, the lab was the source of that virus.

>> tucker: after a lot of research talking to virologists all over the world, baker concluded that the most likely explanation for this virus is is it escaped from that lab in wuhan and scientists around the world agree with him and the deputy national security advisor agrees with them. he said there is a growing body of evidence that the lab is the most credible source of the virus. given this because donald trump made a phone call to somebody. but it's real news. we invited steve back mowser. i knew in my gut there would come a day where would you do

a victory lap on our show. we don't know for a fact this happened but your position suddenly seems like a growing consensus. why? >> the evidence is obvious to anybody who looks at. it we have not found a natural analogue to the coronavirus. it looks like a lab creation. we have the testimony of the very courageous whistleblower whom you had on your show. we have another whistleblower who established from china. all roads lead to the wuhan laboratory. why didn't we hear about this earlier? the people who funded the lab and a lot of money going to that lab from the united states. were the people who wrote the

denial last spring saying it was a conspiracy theory and it was not a lab creation. it came from nature and had a zoonotic origin. it didn't. they are part of the scam. china is now changing its story. they said that well it may not have come from the wet market but maybe came from a cave where the mineers got something in 2012 and it spread from there. if they are changing their story, what does that tell you about the origin of the virus? >> tucker: they shut down all inquiry to the origin of the virus which ought to be a red alater. -- alert. see you again, i hope. if like most christians in 2000

years you ended prayer with menn. amen, you are sexist. we will show you how it's really done straight ahead. coverage of the trump rally in dalton, georgia. we'll be right back.

>> tucker: bad news for joe biden tonight. biden was a big backer of the violence against women act. now we learn that it's an act of hostility against women to acknowledge they exist. the word women is an offense against women. over the weekend democrats voted to ban gendered language so no more terms like father or mother and terms like women and men are out. and for good measure, brother

and sister and first cousin are banned. democrats celebrated the move with the handful of words they left us in the english language. >> the rules should reflect our value as an constitution that reflects the gorgeous mosaic in every possible way of the american people. >> tucker: it's inclusive and we will exclude entire words from our language. by excluding we will include? that didn't nancy pelosi's twitter biowhere she described herself as a mother, grandmother and dark chocolate connoisseur, which is the only term still allowed. hard to imagine a weirder set of words all this one place.

what is interesting, almost everybody now sitting in the house of representatives is violating these new rules. no one more flagrantly than a member of congress and part-time preacher cleaver. he did it yesterday. >> peace within this chamber now and ever more. we ask this to god known by many different faiths. amen and awoman. >> tucker: if you thought amen was an ancient affirmation, stand correct. how does this empower women? that's a question kelsey gabbert

has been pondering. until january 20, she still service. thanks for joining us tonight. how does it empower women to ban the acknowledgement that women exists? >> it does the opposite. it's the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be the champions of rights for women to deny the biological existence of women. this recent rule change at the house voted and passed on today removing references to mothers and fathers. brothers and sisters and sons and daughters from congressional rules and administration, it's mind blowing. it shows how out of touch with reality and the struggles of

every day americans people in congress are. also it shows their first act, this new congress could have been to make sure that elderly americans are able to get the covid vaccine now along side front line healthcare workers. instead of doing something that could help save people's lives, they are choosing instead to say you can't say mother and father in this congressional language. it's astounding. >> tucker: it's confusing. the people who claim to celebrate differences are the same ones trying to impose by force this creepy corporate sameness. do they think there are not differences between the sexes? sincere question. >> i don't know how to explain what they think. this is why congressman mullin

and i introduced my legislation, protect women's sports act, out of a recognition this legislation is necessary. when you look at why title 9 was created, it was created out of this recognition there is a biological distinction between men and women and boys and girls. it recognizes that because of that treasurings needs to be a level playing field for girls and women to compete and play in sports. there are people trying to undermine the reason why title 9 was put in place by denying my existence. it defies common sense. it defies basic science.

>> tucker: congress tulsi gabbard, thanks. especially during covid obesity is one of the main drivers of death. all of a sudden you are hearing people tell you obesity is not a threat. it's sexy, type-2 diabetes is empowerment. why are they telling you that? it's weird. the president set to host a rally in georgia any minute. we will have coverage of that straight ahead.

>> ♪ >> tucker: during the pandemic they had one demand. not that students should be educated in the classroom. that means teachers would have to go back to work and teach science and math. if there is one thing we know, teaching in person spreads the coronavirus more than anything else.

don't think about that. don't consider the 99.9% survival rate. to keep their students staff teachers unions decided all instructions could remain remote. that way no one will learn anything and the teachers can stay home and collect checks. until now no one bothered to ask the most question of all: just how remote should this learning be? last thursday a vice-president of the chicago police teacher union sarah chambers answered that question. she advocated keeping the schools closed because it's too dangerous for the teachers. never mind it's destroying students especially special education students. she flew to puerto rico and uploaded pictures on instagram

and one picture with this caption. we had the whole pool to ourselves. then we are going to get some yummy sea food. t two -- in between bites sarah chambers did get some work done as her students languish at home and some kill themselves because of isolation she urged members of her union to rise up and join her in san juan. tons of members are emailing their administrations. i will assert my right to work in a safe, remote environment on january 4, 2021. if you have children in a public school in chicago, you will be horrifyed to learn it destroyed your kid and wrecking your

family. but sarah chambers had a defense. she wrote this on twitter. keep in mind sarah chambers immediately turned the conversation to herself and her own safety. never talked about you or your children because she doesn't care. none of them do. the only question left is how much longer will we allow people like sarah chairmans -- chambers to control our children's lives. hopefully not much longer. you are not allowed to say it anymore. being fat is not good for you.

it's a major risk factor for the coronavirus. patients who are obese are 50% more likely to die from the coronavirus. you might ask obvious questions: where aren't our leaders encouraging us to be physically fit? they are closing down gyms and putting gym owners in jail. they try to get us not to go outside at all. you think the people in cosmopolitan magazine might ask those questions. no. the people in our country would like us to be fat. in the february issue the magazine features several obese models with this tag line: this is healthy. healthy can be a loaded word. we asked these women to open up about their personal journeys

and reclaim healthy as their own. this really is post-modern instanity. it might be confusing. back in may obesity was bad. it was the worst thing you could be because donald trump was over weight. our media personalities used obesity as a sledgehammer. remember? >> he's our president and i would rather he not take something not approved by scientists in his age group and weight group, morbidly obese. >> tucker: doctor marc siegel joins us now. i don't think you should mock people are being overweight. obesity is a real risk factor

for morbidity with this disease. why would this magazine encourage it? >> very interesting. let me tell you something. virus don't differentiate on the basis of skin color but this virus targets older people and obese people. the study you referred to,to, t top heart journal indicated if you are obese, are twice as likely to end up on a ventilator if you are in the hospital. all ages your risks of dying of covid and getting blood clots and getting very sick from covid are higher from obesity. along comes cosmopolitan from the united kingdom who is on a state of a strict lock down and saying this person is healthy? that's unbelievable hypocrisy. i have a patient that came to me

by television from los angeles county. she is gaining weight. i said to her, how are you doing? are you doing better? losing weight? locked down can't lose weight. the lock down in los angeles that is supposed to decrease the risk of covid death will increase them. my patient is more at risk now because she is shut down at home. >> tucker: exactly. they encourage you to be fat and stoned. dr. marc siegel, great to see you. the new coronavirus relief bills starts a countdown for agencies to tell us what they know about ufos.

>> ♪ >> ♪

>> tucker: speaking of conspiracy theories, the coronavirus relief bill contains a provision not getting attention. the director of the national intelligence and others have to disclose what they know about ufos in 180 days. what will they tell us? this export joins us tonight. nick, will they obey the first question? what will they tell us? >> well, this will be a very interesting year for ufos for sure. yes, they will definitely have to produce this report within 180 days to get it by late june. it has to be unclassified, but it can have a classifiedanex.

what the public will get maybe not a lot. what the armed forces committee will get a lot more and hopefully some answers to these questions we have been asking for months now. what is going on in our air space? what has the u.s. navy been encountering? what has been in these classified briefings that some senators have already had? >> tucker: what do you think they are likely to reveal? >> well, it's interesting because senator rubio said he would almost rather this was aliens because if it turns out to be china or russia, then we for big trouble. the sorts of speeds and maneuvers and acceleration these objects are capable of is concerning. just before christmas, there was a leak in the office of the

naval intelligence is an organization called unidentified aerial task force. leaks suggest they haven't ruled out the exraterrestials. >> tucker: there may be physical evidence of the existence of these crafts. have you heard that? >> yes, i have heard talk of meta-materials. i think report will have to disclose what the intelligence committee want to know: everything in government is fragmented. they want to know who knows what? they want a single official named and put in charge of all of this. this would include the fbi and the military. we want answers. >> tucker: i don't want to wait until june and declassify the warren commission report.

this nonsense and i appreciate your help. thank you. we are out of time. president trump will be in georgia shortly. sean hannity in his first show of 2021. >> sean: happy new year. i would love to hear and see what that is. a fox news alert. the president of the united states donald trump set to take the stage in dalton, georgia. we will take you there live. the president campaigning for republican senators loeffler and perdue that could be the most critical senate race in modern history. we will layout what is at stake in tomorrow's election. georgia, let me put it bluntly, your country needs you. plus the march for trump rally that will take place on wednesday thousands of americans planing to hit the streets in our nation's capitol and demand election
