thank you so much ric grenell. senator ron johnson tonight is denouncing the impeachment trial and he will be my special guest tomorrow. former secretary of state mike pompeo, and here is tucker and "tucker carlson tonight." ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." anyone can see that joe biden isn't as quick as he used to be, it takes them an hour and i have to watch 60 minutes. but we are less than a week in and the white house has already ended immigration enforcement, sent american troops into armed conflict, crippled the last remaining infant sector of our economy and officially for the first time in human history deny the reality of differences.

congress is about to get involved in changing this and democrats control the entire legislative branch of government. their priority is house resolution number one. it's called that because it is the first bill in the legislative pipeline. so what exactly is in that bill? is possible that cnn hasn't brought you all the details yet, they are too busy trying to save the country from forbidden ideas on internet chat rooms. here's what nancy pelosi said about hr one back in october. >> we had plenty of work to do in the joe biden administration, will build infrastructure of america in a greenway and make sure health care is available to all americans. lower the cost of prescription drugs, we will learn to have hr one right off the bat, be about cleaner government so we can reduce the role of big, dark, special interest money.

>> tucker: hr one is all about that big dark special interest money. but you have to wonder why nancy pelosi is still using that term dark as a euphemism for bad. but whatever, it's nancy pelosi so we can be sure it's not racist. the real question is how the party of ruthless monopoly gets away with fake talking points like that. the answer of course is to get away with it because no one stops them. this is the "for the people" act here. as for the people, so shut up. what exactly does the democratic party plan to do for the people? if you guessed enshrined forever then you win the daily double. the "for the people act as a foundation of the democratic party strategy to control the federal government well into your grandchildren's middle age. take a look at it. like most revolutionary

documents, it's not a very exciting read nothing sounds especially radical at first. the bill begins by declaring that contrary to article one of the united states can't constitution, congress has an "ultimate supervisory power over federal elections. under our current loss, states get to decide how much they get to tolerate. california just wants you to vote democrat. if hr one passes all 50 states will be california and the entire country will have valid harvesting and mail-in voting. think about that. on january 6th, we had a riot at the u.s. capitol. it happened because millions were convinced the last election was not fair. where did they get the idea? it wasn't because the last president told him so. you are hearing that now as if they are animals, but they saw

the radical increase in mail-in voting. millions dead. and it corroded their faith in the public's faith in our of elections. they were enraged by that and some of them exploded. according to the democrats the lesson of that terrible day was that we needed more of the corrupt policies that caused it in the first place. we needed more corruption, and that will unite the country. hr one would literally enshrined fraud. here was a direct quote from that legislation. a state may not require an individual to provide any form of identification as a condition of obtaining an absentee ballot. any form of identification. nor can signatures be validated. here's another direct quote from hr one. "a state may not require notarization or witness signature or other formal

authentication as a division of obtaining casting an absentee ballot. under hr one, they could freely go house to house and apartment to apartment collecting unknown thousands of ballots and then dump them all out of ballot drop box. no one would have any idea if those ballots had been tampered with at any point along the way or would there be any way to prove it if they had been tampered with. hr one also makes it harder for election observers to file complaints about any of this because complaining is racist. a system like that is suicidal for democracy and no other free country would tolerate it. france and canada won't tolerate it, they banned mail-in ballots. they don't want fraud. by the way, neither is amazon.com. mail-in voting allows his parties to take control of everything and you are a bigot if you oppose that. but when it comes to union elections in his own company, elections that might allow jeff bezos to pay his -- and

they wouldn't be under quoting valid valid and fair. when it's their power at stake democrats have a totally different position and that's true in california. you may have heard there was a recall effort underway in that and they were trying to boost their comically dependent governor's son. it's not so easy to get it done because democrats are requiring in person signatures petitions. suddenly they are very worried about voter fraud. you should know this is not considered hypocrisy. they don't mind if they are caught breaking their own rules, they are not offended by double standards. they want power, this is a power

grab and that's all it is. you're complaining about it means nothing to them. if you needed more evidence of that, as if you needed more evidence, considering his legislation by stephanie murphy, a democrat from orlando. murphy has proposed a bill that would ban anyone with the wrong opinions from having a significant job in the federal government. believe forbidden things and you don't get a security clients. you can't work here. murphy's bill would require federal investigators to ask all applicants whether they had "associated with or knowingly engaged in activities conducted by an organization or movement that spreads conspiracy theories and false information about the united states government." wait a second. conspiracy theories and false information about the united states government? it sounds like these people could be in trouble. >> you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion. >> i saw this clear evidence on the issue of collusion and this adds to the body of evidence.

>> there is significant evidence of collusion, ample evidence and indeed there is. i think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy. >> all of this is evidence of collusion. >> there is significant evidence, much of it in the public domain on the issue of collusion. >> just kidding. people who spent years peddling ludicrous conspiracy theories this proved factually, these people will be fine. at this point it would include everyone pretty much currently in power. that hurt our country, but this is designed to protect them from criticism. under stephanie murphy's bill anyone who criticizes stephanie murphy could be punished. accents now? now you think all of this might raise some eyebrows among traditional civil liberties

people or civil liberties folks as they call them. but it's 2021. laws like this are directly at the media sworn archenemies, people who went to state schools and other undesirables. listen to the gene comic geniuses explain. this is pretty much a certainty now which was 100% caused by elite mismanagement of our economy. but let's not talk about that. the real threat is a forbidden idea. >> next, what to do about qanon and its troves of lower, loyal followers. is it too late to bring our loved ones back to reality? >> many who believe the unfounded conspiracies and prophecies expected january 20th to be judgment day. >> is far right figures are joined by others. >> how many people in the

country have been marinated in these conspiracy theories, and it is frightening. >> tucker: mr. tom friedman thinks this is pretty frightening and he's right. but watching a profound change taking place in american society, and it's happening fast. the stakes could not be higher. there's a clear line between democracy and tyranny, between self-government and dictatorship and here's what that line is. that line is your conscience. they cannot cross that. government has every right to tell you what to do, and controlling the behavior of citizens is one of the basic prerogatives of any organized society. they can prevent you from committing murder or rate or speed walking or jaywalking, that's all allowed. but no democratic government can ever tell you what to think. your mind belongs to you, it's yours and yours alone. once politicians attempt to

control what you believe they are no longer politicians. they are by definition dictators. if they succeed and controlling what you believe then you are no longer a citizen. you are not a free man, you are a. so yes tom friedman, it's frightening. it's everywhere all of a sudden and no one is pushing back. so join the mob of the sensor is in hysterics and destroyers are working on behalf of entrenched power to take total control of everything. overstatement? no it's not. the new idea is this channel should not be allowed. they are not arguing that fox news is inaccurate and dishonest and you shouldn't watch it, they are arguing that you shouldn't be able to watch fox news because fox should be eliminated by force. a few days ago a columnist posted this question on twitter." should fox news be allowed to exist? no, he quickly concluded.

fox news shouldn't be legal. one seemed to be surprised by this. cnn certainly agrees with that and cnn as of our direct competitor of course so you might imagine he would recuse themselves from this conversation. but just the opposite, cnn is staring down some pretty lean ratings and they would love one less on the dial. they turn them loose to explain that actually allowing people to watch what they want to watch on tv is a method threat to democracy. >> president biden seems to understand, and all of these and all that has caused the separate realities in united states. >> it remains a threat to our

democracy and it's the reason why there are hundreds of trump supporter's storm in the capital. and i do think that these forces represent an existential threat to this country. >> no one has ever been asked to use spell the word existential. he has expressed and that is that's too much choice, that's not democratic. "corporations that advertise on fox news should walk away. and citizens who care about the trip should demand that they do

so. again, margaret sullivan didn't ask people to stop watching fox news, she asked for us to be unemployed. her colleague agreed with that. max boot also labors for jeff bezos up the "washington post." when you work for the world's richest man, people tend to listen to you. when you call for government officials to crush dissent, that's not a a small thing. >> i think there's also the possibility of reviving the fairness doctrine in which mandated some minimal standards of for actuality and balance on the part of tv stations and since that disappeared it, it's a complete free-for-all with all sorts of lunacy being fit directly into the right wing echo system. >> the fairness doctrine does not only apply to cable news

since the u.s. government doesn't own the cable lines but what you should consider is the idea that max boot just explained that it is "unfair" for one news outlet for every other news outlet. saying it's unfair should be mandatory, and that's why it's inclusive. in addition to everything else, these people are stupid. that's why our country is in trouble because the people who run the country can't find things with both hands. no self-respecting landscape company would have max boot. but that doesn't mean he won't win. it's a mistake to imagine that simply because an idea is wrong or stupid or immoral that it cannot prevail, at least for a while. of course it can prevail. history is filled with examples of this. new coke was a real beverage. we should be worried and they

definitely are saying them. joe scarborough has a morning show on msnbc and joe scarborough isn't stupid hardly. look up animal cunning dictionary and you will find his picture. what joe scarborough is, is a herd animal. flexible. if all the kids are doing it, he wants a seat on the bus. when people appear on fox news they need to be forced to shut up immediately. >> fox news had someone i know, a former leader of the republican party saying that democrats wanted, and i'm using his words here, democrats wanted to "exterminate. exterminate all republicans. let me say that again for fox news sponsors so that you know, for fox news sponsors, to let you know what's happening now on fox news.

they are getting people who are fox news contributor's who are saying that democrats, joe biden and democrats want to" exterminate" all republicans. >> tucker: i'm saying this for fox news sponsors. so how honest do you want to be here? the menu just just saw has been accused by the president of the united states of murdering a young woman. we are not taking a position on joe scarborough's guilt or innocence on that case, we are not a law enforcement agency and it's not our place to do that. but one thing we did not do and would never do is go on tv and demands that because joe scarborough was accused of violence by a politician, american companies should not be allowed to sell their products to his viewers. that never occurred to us, not even for a second. we are not fascist or middle-aged performers running

away from their own conscious. we are american. we think people we disagree with should still be allowed to talk in public. they have never believed that, they are global conglomerates and they are more powerful than our government. last week on cnn the former chief security officer at facebook -- how does that title strike you? a man called alex stamos, said this. >> it's really hard because people are able to seek out information that makes them feel good. people have so much choice now, they can choose whether use sources are and they can choose what influencers they want to follow. there are people on youtube for example that have a larger audience than daytime cnn and they are extremely radical in pushing extremely radical views. >> tucker: so in the name of democracy which is clearly the

term of the moment, in defense of the people's will must censor people and make certain that individuals can't read and hear what they choose to read and hear. at least they are being honest about it. information is power and they want the power so therefore they must controlled information, so they are. that's what's happening. we told you a moment ago that nobody seems to be fighting back against this tide of oppression. rupert murdoch won an award from the foundation in the u.k. and here is part of what he said when he accepted. "for those of us in the media there is a real challenge to confront a wave of censorship that seeks to silence conservation, to ultimately stop individuals and societies from realizing their potential. this rigidly enforced, conformity is a straitjacket on sensibility. too many people have fought too hard and too many places for freedom of speech to be

oppressed by the awful woke orthodoxy. this awful woke orthodoxy. we don't quote our boss often come ever on the show actually, that's exactly right. that's precisely what this is. there's nothing worse for the country or for journalism, every publisher of every owner should be saying this in public every single day. no wonder they hate us. glenn greenwald is a journalist and you can find his work which we hope you support. now i want to ask you about this bill from stephanie murphy which strikes me as particularly ominous in the context of the moment we are in that would ban people who fall within some category that she is defining. who have certain beliefs effectively from serving in government and should your personal beliefs be a criterion for employment in the federal government?

>> the through line that you talked about is the democratic party which now controls the house, the senate and the white house. generally believes they have the party of science and rationality and the only way to disagree with them is you are either a deranged conspiracy theorist or exhibitionist, someone who is engaged in criminal conduct or terrorism. therefore they genuinely believe that it's not a show or a pretext and they have convinced one another through the echo chamber that they've created, essentially the entire media accepts the network which is why they want to shut it down, if you disagree with their orthodoxies and their consensus you are a threat and a danger. it's so ironic, they spent four years laming they fight authority to some end of fascism and now they are trying to harden this corporate, and that is a very hallmark, but in reality they embody.

>> tucker: it is in musing, i think it's important to stay amused, but they cite russia as the thing we hate the most because they crackdown on press freedoms and that's not a true democracy, as a pretext for imposing censorship on the press in the united states. is there no self-awareness at all or do they just don't care? >> it's like they are envious of prudent companies manage to consolidate the power that they wished they could wield and are trying to wield it now. tucker, they genuinely want everyone who disagrees with them, silence. i know it sounds like hyperbole if you don't pay attention constantly to the news, and its leaders of the democratic party. they will have partners in the liz cheney wing of the republican party as well and they want to exploit your power to regulations and corporations of monopolies and they are saying we now control and regulate your industry and we demand that you stop using your advertising money for this network that criticizes us, and

if that isn't authoritarianism then what is? they want to shut everybody off the internet and they destroyed an entire social media platform, took it off the internet because they constructed silicon valley monopolies that it was their obligation to remove it. it's very chilling and you really can't overstate how bloodthirsty they are in the control that they are trying to exert over our discourse. >> tucker: there are times where i thought, maybe glenn is paranoid, but i don't think so anymore. so the people with the most power in the world aren't simply trying to destroy fox news, so they are, we are not making that up. also they like to unravel the social fabric of the country, things like gender, men and women. those are the foundation of any civilization.

signed an executive order as one of his first acts of president that essentially invalidates the idea of biological men to compete in women's sports. to understand effect this will have in practical terms, consider this fact. 300 male high school students in this country have faster 400-meter times than the fastest female sprinter in the world. so it's not a small thing for all of us, but particularly for women sports. abigail thought this through and brought her conclusions public and face the enormous hostility and threats that have resulted. we are happy to have her on tonight. abigail, thanks for coming on. you are one of the very few people in our public conversation who is willing to say what you do and present your conclusions without apology. what do you think of this executive order? >> this order starts with the

destruction of women sports. you know, allyson felix is the only pain you mentioned who is a remarkable, possibly the greatest female sprinter of all times. she has more olympic medals then you have seen and as you said to come her time for the 400-meter is 49.26 seconds. okay, nearly 300 high school boys in 2018, and america alone, could beat it. what we are talking about is a world in which no one has ever heard of allison felix, a world in which allison felix doesn't even make the team. >> tucker: i just wonder -- i think there are a lot of implications but it would also seem a direct attack on women's rights like you just explained. i don't see any women's group standing up in the face of this to point that out. why? >> there's the hard left and it has its deconstruction as to reasons and then there are the

useful idiots that are going along with it. i think a lot of people believe and come up they tend to hide behind language of inclusivity, and the truth is if you want to be inclusive what you would do of course is to make sure that transgender athletes who have male bodies feel welcome and comfortable on the male teams. because putting male bodies against male bodies, that's what sports is about. it's about bodies, not about identification. >> tucker: right. so by doing that you would be conceding that sacks differences are biological and unchanging in the cosmetic surgery doesn't make them go away. you can't concede that because you have to play along with the lie or else they hurt you. >> this is actual science, it's actually also common sense. you can lower someone's occupational levels of testosterone, but it won't make an important difference and the

reason is -- or it won't make enough of a difference. the reason is that male puberty confers a massive and unbridgeable and permanent advantage on male bodies. we know that, they have larger hearts, larger lungs, more fast twitch muscle fibers and vastly greater muscle mass and bone density. all things necessary and contests of strength and speed. >> tucker: so what are high school biology class is going to look like? do they have to go along with the lie? >> i hope not. i hope when this comes to your school, it's time to stand up for our girls. >> tucker: you are a brave person and i hope that you inspire people. we told you last night about an internal email sent from a senior i.c.e. official in texas. that email ordered the "release"

of all illegal immigrants in federal custody. it's been a major department on that order and we will tell you what they are. we are joined by white house advisor miller. we will be right back. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: as we reported to you last week on friday, immigration officials were told to release all migrants from detention "immediately." more details on this email and the internal response to it, and those that were retracted and please direct your supervisors to follow the memorandum issue. operation guidance is being developed and will be issued in the coming days."

another i.c.e. official time tend to say it only applied to some detainees who were set to be reported, and would be removed due to the president's order. they qualify if they are over the age of 55, have high blood pressure or have diabetes and all of them can think this order for the special treatment they are getting. steve miller, thanks so much for coming on. we spent four years in the face of very intense opposition both within the white house and outside of it, working on this issue.

>> thank you tucker. this is one of the most extreme directors i would argue in the modern law enforcement. there is pharaoh narrowly, camaro exceptions not memorandum, apply to a handful of people in a given year. it would be terrorists and spies and really extraordinary cases. but the 180,000 people that ice removed last year.

there is no exceptions clause for criminals and what does this mean write operationally? why was that email sent? what it means tucker is at the work of i.c.e. officers will grind to a halt to beginning february 1st. why february 1st? that's the date by which i.c.e. has to come up with implementing guidance, every four years has been handing over illegal aliens to i.c.e. all of those people do not get picked up anymore. you cannot arrest someone you cannot deport. i.c.e. is not a jail, they have detention facilities exclusively for staging people for removal. you cannot pick up somebody that you are not going to remove.

so about 12,000 criminals per month will be released into u.s. communities. basing that 12,000 number on the what the average was last year of how many arrests were given in a particular month. it could actually be higher than that and obviously the pandemic numbers went down a bit with the vaccine, arrests normally you would expect to go back up. and it gets even worse. in addition to that they are forbidden by the terms of this memo from removing visa over status. any student who comes here, any foreign worker who comes here, on the temporary visa with an expiration date, now means nothing. joe biden has declared there is no workplace immigration law and u.s. a u.s. citizen do not have the protection of your laws.

what about immigration courses? what if you fail to appear in immigration court? what if you show up in immigration court, you are ordered removed but you decide not to go home? can someone come and pick you up and take you home? no. >> tucker: i don't think we fully understood the implications of this when we reported on this order last week. there are far more terrifying than i even thought and i'm grateful for you explaining that but i'm bothered by it. stephen miller, thank you. it turns out joe biden isn't simply a new president, he's a holy man, a miracle worker. from california to illinois to the state of michigan, suddenly coronavirus restrictions, as if by magic, have been lifted. what has changed apart from his healing touch? we will tell you after the

that means, it's time for science. you know what science means? you get people in lab coats do not vigorously as you lay out your political degrees. coronavirus has changed once again. california, illinois and washington, d.c., have all announced the indoor dining is an dangerous anymore. that was fast. he's a healer healer, that joe biden. in michigan, they decided to lift the indoor dining ban on february 1st even though deaths in that state are higher than they were when the indoor dining ban was announced. so it didn't work. so how did he do that? how did he get so holy? todd is joining us tonight. what do you make of this? great to see you by the way. >> it's not unheard of. i heard when the founder of north korea was born a new star appeared in the sky and a double rainbow. some just have that touch, and

when joe biden was coordinated, not only did this broken fractured land of that of dictator destroyed, and i know that some of these leaders in new york and california only had about six or seven months to see that they could reopen their states and have everything be basically find, but it's amazing that suddenly after the inauguration and after the final pieces were laid in the electoral college vote was confirmed, you had andrew cuomo for us leading the charge. and of course we all knew that california, illinois and these other states would follow suit. it's interesting that these democrat voters, the speculation that governors held their states hostage, a vice grips psychologically, and it certainly seems to be what happened here all for political

optics and keeping the economic numbers down to her trunk before the election. what happened on january 6th can now be described as unarmed racists insurrection. so when they went on these racist and evangelical cue in on extremist? >> they probably just want to acknowledge it, it's not like they have the media calling them out on this behavior, obviously they are protected. obviously andrew cuomo got an emmy, and wrote a book on handling the virus. the virus rates are higher than they were a month ago, and in a lot of these places the rates are higher. and it seems like they are holding people hostage. you could even acknowledge, and

at the here seems to be, things are much nicer with the democrats because we can keep them in power. the money you've done a great ga great job in chicago. and the more obvious it is, the more for a bit and note. if you have coronavirus vaccine maker kids could go back to school, oh, no. teachers unions are not for that. we will tell you what they are saying, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

suicide hotlines from kids over the course of their schools being closed in 18 children have committed suicide over the nine months of the pandemic, 18 children and with the same thing that can happen in chicago, but let me point out something which is that covid-19 does not spread easily among children. it does not spread easily from children to teachers and we know that. what does spread easily is despair, anxiety, depression, not getting your teeth taken care of were your eyes examined or not having looked out for developmental delays, all of the things you need in school, so i will say this chicago teachers union tonight, tucker. the vaccine is coming. next week, you guys qualify, all of you can get the vaccine. i bet when they get the vaccine, they will reopen everything, right? >> responsible adults would rather get covid than hurt kids.
