start the year with better hearing and big savings. call miracle-ear today. she is terrific. tucker is next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," happy friday. it's been a turbulent week, at times, pretty grim. for once in the season of craziness, we have some good news tonight. 212 years to the day after abraham lincoln was born, the democratic party propaganda outlet that stole his name has finally collapsed. lincoln's birthday present? the end of the lincoln project. we can all celebrate that. there's probably never been an organization sleazy or more vicious in american politics than the lincoln project.

not tonic naturally was funded by tech oligarchs in silicon valley. it set itself apart by never addressing for the most part ideas or policies. instead, they went personal, immediately write for the throat. rather than argue against of what donald trump may be doing, it instead threatened to his attorney and spread felt about his age. in january, for example, we are constructing a database of trump officials and staff that will detail their roles in the trump administration and track where they are now. they will be held accountable. it always sounded a little more like ms-13 than a political operative. now, because everything is irony, their reports tonight the fbi is investigating the lincoln project, specifically one of its founders john weaver. you may remember him because he helped manage john mccain's run for president. he also works for ohio

governor john kasich. he's a close associate of bill kristol, corsi's. john weaver spent enormous energy trying to lure young boys into. at least one of those boys was 14 years old. 21 of john weaver's alleged victims accuse him of sexual harassment. it's an awful story. here's the worst part of this story, the lincoln project had a good idea of what john weaver was up to. a lot of people did. for decades, consultants whispered rumors that john weaver had tried to little boys. carl broke to his credit set it out loud. the atlantic protected john weaver, too. it turned out to be, apparently, accurate. colleagues of the lincoln projects knew this, and from law enforcement. it inside the organization they made it clear they understood what was happening. here's an excerpt from a new piece in new york magazine, "beginning in september much of

the lincoln project staff convened in park city, utah, where they hunkered down in a covid safe pot until election day" "this time the allegations against weaver where an open secret in the company according to former employees. one former employee says that's when his boss warned him to avoid weaver. when i was told it was almost in passing, that i did not want to be involved with him specifically because i am a young man, a former employee said, one night over drinks with much of the staff, four employees were called weaver's behavior came up repeatedly as the topic of discussion. one person remembers steve schmidt and drake wilks and telling people weaver was "depraved" and twisted and they wouldn't want to know the truth about him." inside the office, lincoln project executives essentially joked about john weaver soliciting from teenagers. as if the stores couldn't be

creepier or more repulsive, we also learned he once operated a children's boutique, literally. the question is, why are we learning all of this now? because the election is over. donald trump lost. reporters know have political motive. they had every incentive to promote him as a man of principle which they did. here is john weaver on 50 minutes. biko john weaver's feels it's a party that's betrayed him. stick a look, leslie, we've gone from caring about character, rule of law, defending the constitution, national security policy, free-trade, where are those issues? imagine if you travel the country for 30 years plotting for republican principles, and you learn was all a lie. >> tucker: so it's john weaver who was betrayed? it's really about character. really, it's about principle. at the lincoln project cared about democracy, that's why they

did what they did. it had nothing to do with the money they got. nothing at all to do with money. they would do it for free, they promised they would. this came up a lot, every time it didn't lincoln project employees seemed sensitive about the question of money. here is the lincoln project executive brett wilson appeared >> i quote, there failed strategist doing this for the money. >> the easiest way in the world for republican strategists to make money is to shut up and say nice things about donald trump. clearly we are in the wrong line of work. >> tucker: clearly we are in the wrong line of work. at that was pretty funny, that's the opposite of the truth, it always is. rick wilson found the only line of work that would happen, and not a moment to sue. public reports show that wilson based liens for hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid federal taxes. american express took him to court for not paying his credit card bills, over $25,000. for a guy like that, the lincoln

project was a god send. we can't overstate that. according to associated press "of the $90 million raised by the lincoln project, more than half -- $50 million went to firms controlled by the lincoln project executive." $50 million. according to the federal elections committee, and the month of december alone -- that was before the georgia senate runoff -- the lincoln project shoveled $1.5 million to steve schmidt, who incidentally bought a big new house. the lincoln project spent $38,000 on a private jet company. they spent $1.7 million with project cofounders room and gave $420,000 to cofound or read dylan's firm. i hope these guys save the money, it's hard to imagine you'll be hearing much from his the lincoln project after today. reports say steve schmidt has just resigned from betaine. he wrote a resignation letter online tonight that you should read. and eight he portrays himself as the victim.

it's all about him, and then because he's resigning because the board of lincoln project has too many middle-aged white man, in the name of diversity he much go. the lincoln project also saw the resignation of its spokesman and other people. just a week ago the lincoln project was powerful and feared. now, it's done, it's over, it's not coming back. at the lesson is, things change fast. ask andrew cuomo how fast they change. a lot of people expected him to be the vice presidents of the united states, and for good reason. he played an instrumental role in biden's campaign to the white house. he helped the party leverage coronavirus for political ammo. he's one of the reasons that a lot of voters in november wound up believing donald trump was personally responsible for covid. some voters convinced to were convinced he hooked it up himself and mar-a-lago. joe biden knew that these propaganda points were helping him, and he seemed grateful for andrew cuomo's help.

>> your governor of new york has done a of a child. look at the way you have governors like cuomo who are out there doing -- just keeping everybody informed all day. he's doing an incredible job. i think he's been the lead horse here. i've talked to him frequently. he's a friend. i think he's doing a great job, i really mean it. >> he is the lead horse here, he's doing a great job. once again, we don't fault joe biden for saying untrue things, he is reading a script. he was not doing a great job as governor of new york. more people were dying in a state than any other state in the country. for most of the year, nobody in the media said that out loud. they allowed cuomo to win an enemy, in fact, for saying things like. >> my mother is not expendable. your mother is not expendable. our brothers and sisters are not expendable.

we are not going to accept a promise that human life is disposable. >> tucker: human life is not disposable is the abortion guy. thanks to "the new york post" and a handful of journalists, we now know that he does believe human life is disposable, if you didn't already paired here's the detail. andrew cuomo's top aide, privately admitted the truth in a call with state lawmakers. it's on tape. according to derosa, the cuomo administration deliberately covered up the true number of coronavirus nursing home deaths in the state of new york. they refused to tell lawmakers how many people were really dying. why did they do this question mike why did they live? derosa explains why. the cuomo administration was worried telling the truth about how many people were dying in nursing homes would hurt joe biden in dominic and help donald trump. he starts tweeting that we

killed everyone in nursing homes, going after new jersey governor phil murphy, after california governor gavin newsom, after michigan governor. then she worried, that directs the department of justice into an investigation of us. basically, we froze. she continues, we had a petition of we weren't sure of what we're going to give to the department of justice. what we start saying was going to be used against us, we weren't sure if it's going to be an investigation. in other words, we lied because we didn't want to get caught? dominic. the most basic explanation of all. there are now 15,000 confirmed and presumed nursing home deaths in the state of new york, that's up from 12,703's and of late january. we don't have those figures because the cuomo at administration get them to us -- we have them because a few reporters, reporters like andrew kerr at "the daily caller" noticed that the death numbers

didn't count nursing home residents that died of the coronavirus. we note because the people dominic place like the empire center obtain a court order forcing cuomo to release the data to the public. he owns nothing, he's a public servant, but he wouldn't give it up until forced. if we listen to the rest of the media, we wouldn't know any of this. we would only know about his enemy. we wouldn't know anything about the order that forest coronavirus patience do not be counted. this was an excuse that this was somehow donald trump spun. faults. >> anyone who says, why did they do that with covid patience in nursing homes, it's because the state followed president trump's cdc guidance. who can we prosecute for those deaths? nobody. nobody. mother nature, god, and you had this political conspiracy theory that the deaths in nursing homes

were preventable. i think it is all politically motivated. if anybody looked at the facts, they would know that it was wholly absurd on its face. >> tucker: it's funny how the least confident, least honest politicians are also the most self-righteous. if anyone looked at the facts it is wholly absurd on its face. it is wholly absurd, but not in the way that he meant it. joe biden is in the white house in part because journalists, members of both political parties, refused to look at the facts. it's time we assessed the facts, honestly. judge jean perino, she joins us tonight. great to see you. why did it take the better part of a year to find out the truth about what happened in one of her biggest states? beco well, it took the better part of a year because andrew cuomo didn't want it to get out peered at the legislator was

asking repeatedly, families were asking repeatedly what was going on, and they refused to get out the numbers. weeks ago, i said he should be prosecuted. i said several times on the table, because it was a circumstantial case. now, there is a case that involves direct evidence of a cover-up. what you've got is a man who drafted an opinion on march 25th saying that the elderly that were infected with covid should go back into the nursing home. that was a decision, essentially, to kill seniors. if the ones who are the most vulnerable in those nursing homes. he knew what was wrong, and yet he did a peered at the question is, why did he do it? as a prosecutor and a judge, that's not an issue for me. i will tell you why he did it. he did it to keep the hospitals open. he did it to make sure that the new york hospitals would be able to continue to make money and not have to deal with some medicare patients and medicaid patients, okay?

then what we've got, we've got him passing along -- giving immunity to his pals at the hospitals and nursing homes from civil and criminal liability. now, his evidence based upon the statement of a person -- his secretary, his right hand person. she said, i'm sorry to you democrat lawmakers. it not the legislators who want to the answers, not to janice dean and her family and everyone else who was affected who wanted answers. and not to the public, not to the press, but i ask you this tucker -- why wasn't the press on this more than -- why do we have to wait until today question mike here's the issue now, will the panel of grand jr., attorney general's to begin a grand jury investigation question mike will the department of justice do an investigation on abuse of the elderly over which they have jurisdiction? this guy when he made a statement, he said, there is no one to prosecute, he is wrong i expect there is someone to

prosecute here, because he had the intent -- malicious intent. it was greedy and tense, it was reckless actions, it was negligent actions. the cause the death of so many vulnerable patients who were denied the ability to be touched by a family member. let me move on to the lincoln project. those people are a bunch of bozos. they hated donald trump so much that they were willing to commit all of these crimes themselves -- sexual harassment, make believe it didn't happen, abusing money, tens of millions of dollars to use for consultants that they were connected to. i mean, these guys are predators. they are predators! its typical, the media didn't look into it. all of that stuff about weaver was on twitter, nobody cared. where is journalistic integrity? if it's donald trump that we are looking at -- everybody have added! we are not going to check it out. this bozo thing that's going on in terms of the alleged impeachment, even the supreme court won't show up to

do it. this is an example of what we are faced with. if we've got a media that doesn't protect the american people, the workers, and everyone else. i can really go off tonic after cuomo. >> tucker: you really say what you think. it's interesting. turns out that all of your suspicions are true, and at least one case. at the biden administration is literally in bed with -- one top biden made a pretty touchy his romantic relationship with a member of the media, that's straight ahead. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> tucker: on inauguration day you may remember joe biden speechwriters told him to make an announcement, stability is back in fashion, anyone who disagrees will be treated very uncivil e. >> president biden: i'm not joking when i say this, if you're ever working with me and i hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, i promise you i will fire you on the spot. on the spot. know if anne's or >> tucker: the white house would not fight with the press

anymore, they won't need to because the press loves them. one top white house official, tj doug low, may have -- we will let you assess, he was dating a member of the press, a reporter who covers the left for axios. it the biden administration, very, very close to this reporter who covers politics. if someone over politico wanted to know more about this and reached out for more information peered he reportedly responded i will destroy you. he also apparently is accused in other ways. he announced joe biden is taking action, duck what will be terminated or put on leave for a week >> it doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't meet the president standard. it was important that we took a step to make that clear. that included not just in

apology directly from them, an apology from us, but also steps to suspend him for one week without pay. at that, in our view, was an important step to send the message that we don't find it acceptable. the one media analyst, founder, editor of the podcast, we are happy to have the montagnais tonight. great to see. speaking for myself, is probably different views, i'm not bothered when people are rude to reporters. i've gotten it a lot, it's fine. and very bothered, though, that a reporter would be having a personal relationship with someone for calling, covering politics, maintain some distance. no one else seems to be bothered by this, why? >> that one about the relationship about the it dominic axios reporter, they started dating in november. when the reporter brought it to

her bosses she was removed off the biden beat and move to cover the left, but also to cover bp kamala harris. you're not going too far from the biden white house to what she's currently covering. i think there's lots of dating and sleeping together that happens between reporters and sources. i don't have a problem with that, but i need to say there needs to be a transparency. while the reporter and while ducklo told their point and, the public didn't know. the reporter covering someone in power, it's a different occupation than a plumber or an accountant. you have an obligation to the public if you are covering if you work in the white house, there's a higher obligation. at this reporter would go on podcast as recently as inauguration day to talk about the biden administration with no disclosure to the public that she was dating a number of the biden administration. >> tucker: i agree with you, it's a smart point. maybe people should be allowed

to assess the facts for themselves. when this reporter went on podcast, for example to talk about the biden administration, what was her coverage like? was a critical, skeptical, or funding? >> this was a new era, a new tone here in washington. at the biden administration. look, i think it was not -- it was what you would expect is what i would describe it as. at the same time, not disclosing that you have a relationship with the person who works for the biden administration, that's the problem. as you mention, people can assess. the problem is when it's all completely in the dark and the reaction that the white house does to another reporter -- a great reporter who is trying to bring this to light, which is a story. it's not watergate, but this is absolutely a story the public has a right to know about and the media should cover. the one i wonder, when you say, "i will destroy you."

obviously, you got higher testosterone levels than your average -- that's good. it's also a cliche stolen directly from a mafia movies. it does anyone in washington come up with their own phrases ever? >> [laughs] it's pretty cliche. i will say -- yeah, it's pretty disgusting the way that ducklo goes. i'm disturbed about the timeline. if this happens on january 20th, as you mentioned. at the white house was informed about this the next day. and no punishment was taken to ducklo until today peered at the suspension didn't happen -- you were in the white house yesterday. having this story come out, it embarrasses the white house to actually suspend ducklo for a week, that's what it took. not just the action of actually happening. >> tucker: interesting. i appreciate you coming out today, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: as we told you

couple of times, the new administration has effectively ended federal immigration. as a result of that, some of the most dangerous illegal aliens in the country are being released onto the streets. we've got exclusive reporting on what exactly that means, who is being released, that's straight up ahead. he's gomez:

>> tucker: joe biden's immigration policies have had at least one immediate effect, a nationwide for people driving drunk in this country illegally. trace gallagher has the full story for us tonight. >> virginia's relatively small, 50,000 people, the sheriff's office has confirmed to "tucker carlson tonight" that in the past two weeks to illegal immigrants with dui convictions have been released from jail. one of the inmates had to deal wise, the other had one, and was previously deported. immigration and customs enforcement or ice had detainers on both subjects, but under thew

biden administration policies, the agency was forced to lift the detainers and allow them to walk through. in other ways, like sanctuary policies has expanded nationwide. i.c.e. and other immigration agents cannot deport immigrants for crimes like assault, drug crimes, or duis. even mothers against drunk driving what and comment on the policy quoting, mattix expects all drivers to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, no expect dominic exceptions. if this is outside of the scope of man's life-saving mission. during the campaign, joe biden promised he would do exactly this, watch. >> president biden: you only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed, and i don't count drunk driving is a felony. >> tell that to the families of drew rosenberg, brenda mendoza, and the dozens of other families fox news has covered in recent years who have lost loved ones

to illegal immigrants driving under the influence. antifa held a violent protest calling for i.c.e. to be abolished. one official told "the washington post" of the biden administration has now essentially abolished i.c.e. without abolishing i.c.e. the one chris gallagher, amazing. thank you. mothers against drunk driving is not mad that the biden administration is giving a break to drunk drivers, as long as they are illegal aliens. the story of this moment it really is the story of the betrayal of people by their leaders. here's yet another, you probably heard the walt disney company lately. before you think about what that company is doing now, take a minute to remember what disney used to be. whatever his faults, walt disney who founded it was very pro-american. he believed it this country was a force for good in the world and did what he could to support the united states. the day after the attack on pearl harbor, he allowed 500

u.s. army troops into disney studios and let them stay for nine months. the studio became a staging ground for america's war effort. disney produced donald duck cartoons to promote war bonds. walt disney was a committed antifascist packet when antifascism meant opposing fascism. his work reflected that. walt disney's company has a very different agenda. instead of opposing fascism, they happily profit from fascism. let's be specific, in the past decade disney has worked directly with china's ministry of culture to produce a propaganda film called born in china. just last year it disney released the film at mulan which was filmed next door to -- where there were internment camps. in the end credits of that film, disney made sure to thank the leaders of the province where they were being interned, the very people respond for locking up human by the hundreds of

thousands. hypocrisy? it's more than that. while it was filming in china, disney was trying to boycott the american state of georgia. why? georgia was considering pro-life legislation. opposing abortion is barbaric according to disney, but, no big deal. the hypocrisy here is an even the most important point. milan like much -- they are intended for you young audiences, rated pg-13. that film delivered a clear message, unmistakable, two children. the people committing aren't that bad, they deserve our thanks. it disney was not alarmed when people pointed out how creepy this was last year. instead, disney treated milan like a dry run. if you can promote china do teenagers, they decided, we can go a step further. maybe we can boost our alleys to the democratic party here at home to even younger audiences. that's exactly what they're doing. what we are about to show you is entirely real.

it's a spot airing right now on the disney channel. if your kids watch, they probably seen it. it's not a political advertisement, it's a disney original. it's original content about kamala harris, the vice president -- a politician. as he watch this, remember, your children may be watching this right now. they received no warning before they do. you probably don't know they are watching it. listen to every word of this, here it is. >> ones, there was a young girl who used her voice to make the world around her better place. as some say odds were stacked it dominic against her but her mother had big plans for this little flower. she had freedom fighting in her blood, she led a successful protest so kids could continue to play. she rose to places that no woman has. the front lawn activist to madame vice president, she will use her voice to run this nation, and inspire it, too. kamala harris, making herstory.

>> tucker: a lot of messages here. the most basic one, for your kids, is if you want to improve this country, what do you do? you protest. you don't work hard, you don't play by the rules, you don't raise decent children. you protest. coppola harris at her first protest on a playground. that's basically a miracle. by performing that miracle, she became a divine group of leaders. she is now part of a worldwide sisterhood, a globalist superhero just like baltimore, you can't really know how to pronounce her name, just like wonder woman, everyone's forced to pretend she's not thoroughly mediocre. all hail kamala harris. if you're thinking to yourself, that's too over-the-top to be real, that's the kind of propaganda north korea would be a shame to air. this isn't meant for you, it's not for adults. an adult would look at that and smirk at best. kids don't have those defenses, that's why they are showing it to kids.

for the kids who still aren't convinced, the nonbelievers who refused to recognize the divinity of kamala harris, disney has another message created that messages, obey, or we will hurt you. if they made that message very clear this week. he they fired a "star wars" actress because she expressed political views that upset the party and charge. she mocks public health experts, for example, and no one is stomach is allowed to mock public health experts no matter how wrong or dishonest or corrupt they proved to be. disney claims none of this is about abhorrent language, she didn't utter any. one of her costars use the same language but he's on the right side politically, so he still employed. this is hypocrisy, yes, but it's bigger than that. it disney is sending a message. the youngest people in the country are learning the same lessons that the kids in china are forced to learn at a young age, your first loyalty is not your family, not to your god, it's in your government. in less you want to wind out like gina pronto, you will

worship kamala harris, too. censorship is everywhere, not just a problem because it violates the first amendment, it's also a national security problem. what happens when google decides to shut down the pentagon, for example? that's next.

♪ ♪ >> tucker: as we told you night after night after night, big attack is silencing the political opponents of the democratic party. that's a problem for free speech. it's bigger than that, it's also potentially a threat to our national security. here's why, back in 2018 the pentagon was working on something called project -- that project used google out the rhythms to detect drone targets, google backed down after objections. it raised the question, where does tech overlap with national security in the federal government, and how much control over national security do the technology companies have? national correspondent, he joins us. it's great to see you.

>> good to see you. >> tucker: for the rest of us who realized -- because it's unavoidable now, these are not companies acting in good faith or not companies that seek the best for the united states. it's worth asking, to what extent do they have control over our national security? >> the big tech companies like amazon, microsoft, google, they've gone big into government and military procurement issues, and it's been hugely profitable for them. amazon made something like $45 billion last year selling cloud computing microsoft sold something like $60 billion worth of cloud computing. this is being sold aggressively to the federal government, and to local governments and governments around the world as an inexpensive way of getting technology. the problem is that it leaves the big tech companies in

possession of the technology, and in the position to pull it away from governments -- from military, from intelligence organizations. to say, if the u.s. got into a war that silicon valley didn't like all of a sudden there would be all of this pressure to not have the technology be used. we've already seen that not only of the big tech companies willing to censor individuals, but we've actually seen the big tech companies in action pulling the technologies away from government back in 2019 amazon s repeatedly talking about how proud they were that they were unwavering in their support of the military, the intelligence community, and law enforcement. one of the products they were selling to law enforcement was facial recognition software, but after there were protests last

summer, in the middle of those posttests amazon took away the facial recognition software from police departments. we can have a debate over whether it's a good idea or bad idea for there to be facial recognition software, but i think what we don't want to have happen is police departments come to rely on it, and then when there's a crisis, have it taken away. just be one that's exactly right. that's an amazing example. these are not american companies -- the people who run them have no special agent, they don't act and any interest for the united states. why would the pentagon not build its own, why would they allow these multinationals all of the control over that our national security? >> they are being sold it's more secure and cheaper to go with the big tech version solutions, and there's a lot of pressure on the pentagon to go with big tech

because they are the cool kids. if that means you are getting the best technology. a part of what happens with cloud computing. once upon a time if you've got software, you would get a package of disks and loaded onto your computer. you would be in control of using the software you had bought. with cloud commuting, you can connect with the computer that is where the software is. at that software is controlled by the big tech companies. if you go with them, that means you are giving up control the ability to use that software when you want to use it. the one that seems like control you what he want to give up if e in charge of defending the country. thank you for your reporting on this. >> thinks tucker. >> tucker: it looks like andrew cuomo, governor of new york, may have covered up the number of people who had died in nursing homes as a result of his order in order to

protect himself from criminal investigation. will there be one? concert, consequences could be fatal. we will take a look at it, next.

>> let's stop. just for one moment. the partisanship. >> tucker: i think that's the actual montage that ran before andrew cuomo's acceptance speech at the emmy award last year, before we had proof formal was deliberately covering up deaths in the nursing homes in his testate. robert holden that is a memberng of the democratic party and the new york city council, leading the effort to scrape governor cuomo of his emmy. i appreciate you coming on thtonight. tell us why -- >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: tell us why you are

leading this. >> he has met all of the wrong moves. 36,000, 700 people have lost their lives in new york state and he is taking victory laps. he is a self promoter. he's got a book which should be fiction now, listed in the fiction section, because he has lied all the way through, covered up so many things, a including probably 6,000 to 7,000 deaths of seniors that he forced into -- covid-positive seniors, forced into nursing homes, then wondered why so many people are dying. and then he denies it and blamey everybody else for it. >> tucker: he's not only lying. that's common in politics, of course, but he does it with maximum aggression and self-righteousness. he is articulate, i will say. how do you lie like that? that suggests a really weird person. i don't think most people can do that, could say the opposite of the truth that aggressively. >> they admitted they lied

because they got rid of a lawsuit by the justice department for mishandling the nursing home situation. my god, i can't believe this guy. and such arrogance. and he goes on his brother's show, tells all the great things he's done. what has he done that's great? can except lie to people. youans ally yourself with like nordic gods he should be investigated, and he should be called to task on this and say, you know what? dodo they exist why don't you admit it, and talk to the families that lost their oh loved ones. i haven't seen my mom in a year because she was in a nursing home, and obviously, quarantined, and yet, they deny the vaccine to her because governor cuomo's edict said "oh, you know what, we can't give it in nursing homes to patients that rehab, they might go out soon, so you have to get the vaccine -- both vaccines in the same place." well, how do you do that in a

nursing home if you are rehabbing for two or three weeks? my mom didn't get it, in december, which he should've gotten it. she got the vaccine to lead because she got covid a month later in the nursing home. and she is now currently with covid, fighting for her life. >> tucker: god, what a sad story. i'mm sorry to hear that. the governor is thuggish, famously vindictive.th you are an elected democrat. are you worried by saying this in public you will be punished in some way?ou >> not at all. listen, we have to do the right thing. i don't care if you're a democrat, republican, whatever, if you lie to the people, you do not belong in office, and he constantly lied.d. he covered up for his image. can you believe that, for his image, self promoter. i don't care, he can't do anything to me. >> tucker: accepted an emmy award. has he called you?ie >> no. [laughs]

you know, listen, i do the right thing all the time, i try to. i'm not looking for a career in politics like many of my colleagues. you have to do the right thing, and that is what should guidee everyone in politics, but when a politician lies and is caught, then comes up with an excuse why he lied, it's a disgrace. i mean, come on. >> tucker: blaming everybody but himself. councilor holden, i appreciate you coming on tonight. i think it is a pretty brave stance given andrew cuomo's new york.. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, that's it for us tonight, and that closes out what has been a pretty amazing, and as we said at the outset, very turbulent week. we are hoping for a more placid week next week, but no matter what happens, we will join you on monday and every week,bule 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. have a great night and a happy weekend with the ones you love, that is what matters most. we will see you monday. ♪ ♪
