children's national. that's it for this "special report." fair, balanced and still unafraid. "fox news primetime" hosted by mark steyn starts now. >> best of luck with that children's national thing. i hope it goes gang busters for you. >> there is a silent auction right now. >> it's great stuff. you can get a 20 minute zoom call can shannon bream and the consolation prize is with brian. you don't want that one. have a great weekend. bret. good evening. welcome to "fox news primetime." i am mark steyn. in the 60 minutes tammy bruce

and one of the bravest women on earth and steve and mark the mastermind behind climate destroying and tucker carlson just wandered in to get out of the rain. the u.s. senate the defense rested in america's first ever re-impeachment trial. this should have been a bigger deal from a year ago. the second bite of the impeachment cherry is not about ukrainian policy which is a tough sell to a general office. -- audience. re-impeachment looks the same. for a year mass international travel has been on hold. it's not coming back any time soon. moving around the world is increasingly difficult unless you have multiple pass ports

like the sinister foot soldiers of isis. the u.s. and canadian border was once the longest not defended frontier in the world. i can't go to have lunch in quebec without spending time in an isolation facility and i have to pay the government $2,000. the one exception to this across the planet is the southern border of the united states which has been dissolved by royal procclamation of king no and the only international

frontier open to all 7 billion people on the earth. the u.s. government offices are covid compliant and painted 6 foot distance markings on the floor. they send all of the covid untested members of the undocument communities to the local holiday inn express. it's not like the northern border where the traveller gets stuck with the tag. on the southern border the illegal immigrants gets the bill picked up by you the american taxpayer. the united states government is about being tough not on foreigners but on floridans.

unlike real americans they have obsolete habits like freedom of movement and freedom of religion and to have auntie over for thanksgiving. the biden regime is talking about building a new hard frontier and restricting travel in and out of the lawless state of florida. maybe they could put a wall on the georgia border and get tallahassee to pay for it. ron desantis governor of the free state of florida is not happy with the prospect of being walled in. >> restricting the right of americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowingiments to pour across the southern border would be a ridiculous but very damaing farce. >> he is a shoe in for 2024. but it's not clear that florida will still be in the union by

then. tucker carlson is here with us. -- great to see you an hour early. tell me something. you were talking the other night about the way disenters like alex just get deep freezed if they have a new novel out. in this case a dissenting state is about to be quarantined. can the biden administration pull that off? >> that was dark but hilarious. you love your idea of a border with georgia. massachusetts and new hampshire if they were accept -- separated by a border. what you are seeing is a radical disparity between the way the

law is imposeed to some people. for more than citizens the government is scary. they put a guy in jail for posting mean things about hillary clinton. so ordinary people, american citizens have every reason to be more afraid. at the same time, they are saying if you are on our side even if you are not a u.s. citizen you can do whatever you want. you can torch wendy's. we saw that and no one a punished. they are saying once you get here you will vote for us. so you can do whatever you want including drunk drive. when i was a kid like drunk driving that was the worst thing you could do. it is a terrible thing to do. now they are telling us mad over stated the case and it's not that big of a deal if a foreign

national does it. >> there is a contradiction here. at berkeley you can't leave your dorm room to go out and exercise. you can leave to get food and bathroom breaking news. on the other hand if you are in honduras, don't worry about your bathroom breaks. cross the rio grande. we won't test you or do anything. you are a businessman who lands at jfk and they want to know the phone number in the united states. they called me 48 hours after i landed that i was quarantining and not spreading covid. how is it people can't see the ludicrousness of this? open borders for 7 billion but u.s. residents micro managed in every aspect? >> i am not with a polling company but my sense is most

people don't agree with this. oregon announced it will take the racism out of math today. what percentage of the population thinks math is racist? or that you should suspend federal law on behalf of the rest of the world? i don't think people want that. what you are seeing is not small democratic actions. they are not making changes in response to a popular outcry for changes. you are seeing a small group of people scaring the crap out of the country so they can do whatever they want. they are acting with fear. if you not only disobey or criticize or make fun of them, they despise the most because it reveals how shallow their ideas are. anybody is punished in a real

way. they are doing it because they are trying their hardest to bewilder you as they boss you around. doing it in the name of democracy. i would like to see a straightforward analysis of biden's first 10 executive orders as compared to the polling on those things. what percentage of the population is in favor of in? one of the first things he did was eliminate women's sports and said men can compete against girls. what percentage of americans were crying out for that? i just hope we can get mean on the field hockey team. that is one-half of 1%. this is not democracy. >> well, it's an odd thing. if you speak out about it, you will be completely destroyed. the punishment doesn't fit the crime on that.

we still have right now a miniature capitol city which is one of the things that people used to scare you about. the right wing-party wanted to do. soldiers on the streets of your city. there are soldiers on the streets of washington, d.c. and the official explanation is that march 4th, the original inauguration day when harrison and garfield and hayes were inaugurated before they moved it to january. on march 4th, 74 million domestic terrorists are planing to overthrow the united states government. do you buy that? >> i find this whole thing one of the most ominous development in memory. it's part of the paradox we talked about. the little things get all of the

attention. if you use the wrong word on television you lose your job. if you have 10,000 armed soldiers in the capitol city nobody notices. this is crazy. the fact that washington, d.c. is occupied by federal troops and nobody is saying anything about it? there is no explanation where they are. the justice department has explained a single plot. they haven't said here the masterminds and the recordings. there is none of that. this is systemic racism. the most general possible terms used to describe the threat. that's the pretext for putting thousands of soldiers this our city. it's demented. law enforcement just shot an unarmed woman to death on january 6. a lot of things happened that

day. a mob of people went into the capitol. i am opposed to that and will say it again now. trying to break into the speakers lobby is not a death penalty offense. there may have been a good reason the police shot ashli babbitt to death. the implied suggestion is she deserved it because she has the wrong ideas. we should pause and ask why we are not bothered by the death of a person. that should bother us but it doesn't. >> a quick question. what do you think the chinese make of this when they see it on tv? >> [laughing]. clearly, some day soon we will get the numbers on the economic

expansion and contractions under covid. we will find out that china has had a bigger share of the global economy and we have a smaller share. the day will come when the debate crisis hits when we can't complain because they control our economies. we are debating things that don't matter. >> that' on it. have a great show. tucker here in about 45 minutes. tammy bruce wants to know why we are not seeing more outrage and calls for governor cuomo to resign after his top aide admits they hid data about covid deaths in new york nursing homes. that's next.

>> ♪ ♪ >> as we report last night with the fearless janice dean. new york governor cuomo is facing calls for a criminal investigation after a top aide admitted that his administration covered up the true number of covid deaths in nursing home. the secretary said the administration stopped reporting the numbers amid fears they would be used in an investigation against them. she tried to walk the comments back today but a chorus is calling for the governor to resign or give back that emmy. >> i call for governor cuomo's resignation. this looks like criminal behavior. this has to be investigated.

i think the governor should resign. >> we will see about that. the wonderful tammy bruce is here. do you think -- this is basically a story with the democrats themselves are turning on cuomo. no republicans need to be involved. do you think fellow democrats can take this guy out? >> clearly they think this is getting close to the edge of the water here. i would say that if this is a man and it appears that is willing to send 9,000 covid infected people into nursing homes and assisted living facilities which he said was like lighting a match on to dry grass, if he is that kind of person, he is not going to care about what anyone else thinks. that's the problem here for new york. janice dean is a hero in this

regard. the fact is that if he doesn't resign, there is going to be an investigation. even now apparently the biden administration has refused to say they have confidence in mr. cuomo at this point. >> but you think he can tough it out on this, tammy? >> he thinks he can. >> yes. he will try to do it. that's his style. who cares now? if the old days, 30 to 70 years ago, if you were a junior reporter on a new york manhattan newspaper or albany newspapers, you will think this is a great opportunity. there is a terrific story. instead these pathetic mainstream news organization based in new york are ignoring

this story. >> yes. there were one or two local reporters in albany working hard to get information. it's not forthcoming. you get shushed and mocked. you saw how cuomo mocked our own janet dean. the guy is a jerk. you can be a jerk and do a good job. but the media is conflicted. no sense of curiosity when it was obvious the nature of what happened. if you feel you need to high the number of deaths to forestall a federal investigation, this tells you they knew what happened was wrong. this is a pandemic. many people are dying around the world. yet they felt compelled according to this aide to hide that which means they understand the complicity. and the cover-up began when they

removed his original order from the website for his office. they knew and he continued to try to blame others. >> yes. then he issued everybody a liability waiver. we have breaking news that steve schmidt has resigned from the lincoln project. these never-trump guys. he resigned because a sex predator's track record has dozens of young men speaking out against him. steve schmidt said he was molested when he was a boy scout and takes this seriously. that's another story. all of the people who gave air time to clooney and steve schmidt and other lincoln project guys have steered clear

of. >> yes, i think you will be watching this. it's like rats jumping-off the ship. there is a big question about who knew what, when? the nature of what was happening. this is just the tip of the iceberg. >> well, we will see about that. thanks, tammy. always good to see you. especially on a friday. the great tammy bruce. she is on fox nation. thank you. steve ready to go on squad member ilhan omar. the congresswoman who said and people did something on 911 has been named to a top spot on the house foreign relations committee. that's next on "fox news primetime." most cold medicines may raise blood pressure. choose coricidin hbp. the brand with a heart. for powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure.

all of us were starting to lose access to our civil rights. >> 911, some people did something. no need to get anymore specific. despite those comments and her descriptions of the evils of israel and jews about being the benjamins. ilhan omar is getting a promotion. the vice chair woman of the house foreign affairs subcommittee on aft -- africa and global human rights. here with reaction pete. you think is a well deserved promotion for ilhan omar? >> [laughing]. oh my goodness, mark. great job this week. the idea that ilhan omar is even on the foreign relations

committee is absurd. this is the modern-day democrat party. anti-americanism. some people did something. the house condemned her for saying all about the benjamins and she tweeted about black hawk down. not today satan. her view of foreign policy is all of the jewish financed american imperialism is the problem in the world. >> it's odd. i could understand if it were native-americans raised here think about america. but it's odd speaking as a foreigner. you are born somewhere else. you come here and taken in by

a new nation and gets elected to the national legislation and you denigrate america. i don't think i could get away with that as a canadian. i am surprised she can. >> [laughing]. there is a lot of self loathing. you are right. her family fledsomalia. the united states housed her and educated her and elected her and when she sees the united states, she sees a racist country and somalia is policeful -- blissful.

those those are her words not mine. she has a terrorism problem in her back yard. >> and american taxpayers paid for the state department to pick up all of the 47,000 particles that are left of them and ship them back to minnesota. that's an amazing thing, pete. we are a generous nation in peculiar ways. great to see you. we will see you tomorrow morning on fox and friends. speaking of somalia, that's where my next guest started off. then she fled and wound up in the netherlands and came to the united states. she is under fire from the left over her latest book which is only just arrived in book

stores. she is one of the bravest women on this planet and an author. she joins us now. it's a terrific book. you are not getting a lot of love from the lefty media and even on your speaking towers when you go into colleges, it seems that telling the truth about what is going on is controversial now in a way it would haven't been 15 years ago. >> [silence]. >> mark, thank you very much for having me on. >> [overlapping talking]. >> carry on. >> i just wanted to say thank you very much for having me on. it's lovely to see you and hear your voice again.

i think in this year of covid nobody is getting much love in terms of actually coming together. when i listened to the last segment, of course i am disturbed by that. i think america and other western societies have been kind and generous to me. people like me and like ilhan omar, i am embarrassed. we came here for a better life and found it. it's inappropriate to respond in the way that someone like ilhan omar elected to congress is behaving and responding. that's one way of responding. i we also have to deal with large numbers of men coming from majority countries -- not all of them.

i emphasize in the book, not all muslim men behave in bad ways. we are seeing developments in european streets, schools, cities and transport stations. and you i have been talking about this for a long time. warning against it. here we are now. i just feel really sad and embarrassed by the fact that hundreds of thousands of people in places like somalia, afghanistan and iraq and pakistan, who wants to come to america in search are of a better life. >> the issue in the book, which you layout painstakeingly throw,

there is a conflict. if you are from afghanistan when you don't get to see any woman outside of your family uncovered and you wind up in a swedish city and all the dolly birds are walking around in short-shorts and sleeveless t-shirts you are exposed to more human flesh than you have seen in your life and a lot of those guys don't react are when they are dumped into a different environment. >> they haven't been socialized like you have. they have not been told to look and not touch. that's not what happens. that's also the subject of praise we have a generation of women growing up in europe who

take it for granted. they can dress as they please and be in public places. they are confronted by men who are coming from places where they have a complicated relationship with women. >> a lot of women in europe seem to have reacted by not going to swimming pools where the young refugees dominate the public safe. it's in your book. on new year's eve a couple of years ago there was a mass epidemic of sexual assault equivalent to it happening in times square in new york and the german media did not cover it until it broke out to social media a week later?

>> but then there were follow-up events in various places. it did not stop there. these confrontations between the women of europe who are used to being free and who are used to the freedom of movement going to places as they please and doing whatever they like and they are confronted with young men coming from places where they see women as prey, as commodities and things they can please themselves with. that confrontation is unfolding in europe and in working class neighborhood. think about that. in other words -- [overlapping talking]. >> that's one of the most horrible things. they think the working class girls have to put up with it.

>> this is a fox news alert. steve schmidt the never-trump co founder of the lincoln project resigned from his post late this evening amid a cascading series of scandals. the worst involves his fellow lincoln project co-founder john weaver. weaver is believed to be under fbi investigation an 2 dozen young men claimed he made unwelcome sexual advances toward them after promising to help them get jobs in politics.

schmidt's session resignation is 1 of 4 today. here's steve hilton the host of the next revolution. as far as we know, steve, most people knew about john weaver, one person heard it in 1988. it's unlikely given the number of victims this was like harvey weinstein's company. >> that's right. 6 former employees asked to be released from confidentiality agreements to speak out. what they are saying is to this to the people who ran the lincoln project for a long time

and were given the brush-off. exactly like the weinstein situation. the people in power are trying to cover-up what was going on. it's tempting for us to look at all of this and relish to a certain extent. this nasty group of bullies is collapsing into scandal. we must not get into that. even if we use a german word, they will put up a nasty little internet ads calling us nazi. >> you are too fluent in german, steve. basically, these guys were heroes on msnbc. elevated. george conway photographed at cocktail parties with the other never-trumpers because he embarrassed his wife in doing so. i find something curious about

the timing here. rather line the hunter biden criminal investigation, they wait until the election is over and the group has served its purpose and this stuff comes out. >> that's right. there is another comparison with the way the information that is coming out has been subject to -- or not subject to what twitter discusses as itself policy like in the hunter biden. they said you can't share this material. they applied a different standard in this case. it's not anti-trump. the establishment is having a different set of words. the only thing that brings them together is their hatred of donald trump. >> yes. it's amazing to me.

this leaking personal messages from my old new hampshire chum jennifer and they decided to just bat her into the ground too. >> yes. >> we have to go. we will see you on the next revolution on sunday. good to see you. i am furious you didn't wear a collared shirt for me. we will let it go. in the spirit of valentine's day. forget tradition, cupid is not loving this. people in france say that red roses must be banned on valentine's day in order to -- you know the answer -- to save planetet. that's up next. at t-mobile, we have a plan built just for customers 55 and up.

fireworks. they don't like chocolate easter eggs and don't eat turkey at thanksgiving. i did a story where they were stumping for a treeless christmas and they don't want you to cut a tree or a frank. it -- branch. it has to have fallen on its own. >> wait until it falls on your car. the red roses are flown in from kenya and every other thing comes from the chinese factory in the back of the wuhan institute of virology. that carbon foot print doesn't matter. >> as a green new deal will shut down our domestic energy.

bats didn't live new wuhan until the climate heated up and they flew over there to hang out at the bat mark. that's what we are expected to believe? >> yes, the bats caused the virus and climate change will cause more viruss. john kerry said this and jane fonda said is. but she was honest. she said covid is god's gift to the left and it has been. the idea of the lockdowns. the idea is to list climate change as the cause of death. researchers in australia proposed. this bill gates said the death toll from climate change will be much higher. the american cancer society said cancer will go up because of warming and al gore said every
