♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." back in march, joe biden gave his first prime time address as president. almost all 24 minutes of that speech were devoted, as you will remember, to promoting a new coronavirus vaccine, the miracle of medicine. one of the administration's main priorities was making sure that every american got a covid shot. and yet, the admin initiation took pains to explain the universal vaccination is not the same as a federal mandate. they are very different. "the government is not now, nor will it be requiring vaccine
10:01 pm
passports." that is what joe biden assured reporters. so as important as vaccines may become and they are, the question of whether to take them, whether to have powerful drugs injected into your body is the most intimate kind of personal health decision. politicians and bureaucrats should have no role in a decision like that. you may have heard that before. these decisions are for the individual alone to decide in consultation with family, physicians, and clergy. when it comes to medical care, it is your body. it is your choice just ask it has been since 1973. that seems to be enough. many people assumed it was their position. but it was. on the question of vaccines, joe biden is not pro-choice. joe biden is pro-mandate. just because there is no official federal requirement to take the coronavirus vaccine does not mean that you and your family won't be required to take
10:02 pm
it. with the full backing of the biden administration, private industry and nonprofits may be forcing you to. for example, colleges across the country have announced that they will require vaccine passports in the fall. students who can't show proof of covid vaccination will not be allowed on campus. yale, georgetown, princeton have adopted this rule and most have followed. duke, columbia, cornell. university of michigan is requiring the covid vaccine. so was the university of massachusetts and the entire university of california, which is the largest in the system, country. pick one students head back to school next fall, they will likely need to have a covid vaccination when they step on the campus. you've seen the announcement thursday along with california state university campuses. and stanford university sent out a letter stating that they will require full covid vaccinations as well. >> tucker: you can see where this is going and at high speed.
10:03 pm
soon, virtually all college students in america will be required to take the covid vaccine. in effect, it is a national mandate. though, because it has happened school by school each apparently making an independent decision, if you have recognized that as it has happened. but a national mandate is what it is. the question is, why? why are schools doing this and it is it a good idea? from a medical standpoint, it is hard to understand the reasoning behind this. as a group, young people are not at risk of dying from covid. may be more significant, huge numbers of college students have already been infected with the coronavirus. we know that. and therefore, they have a natural immunity to it. so, why do these kids need the vaccine? no one has explained that. the question has rarely been asked. but in no other circumstances we are aware of, do we immunize people against a virus for which they already have antibodies. again, from a medical perspective that doesn't make
10:04 pm
sense. and it seems especially strange to require it in this case. none of the coronavirus vaccines have been approved by the fda that are experimental medicines administered under emergency authorization. that does not mean that they are dangerous. we are not claiming that the coronavirus vaccines are dangerous. but we are telling you the truth, which is there are unresolved concerns about their long-term effects on some people, including their effects on female fertility. that is not a conspiracy theory. that is true. it is an honest question. what is a long-term effect that no one so far has been able to answer. and it is not simply been asked bipartisan. it is being asked by practicing for justice. catherine lee for example is a research fellow for the washington in st. louis. she gladly took the coronavirus vaccine. she seems to support the coronavirus vaccine strongly. but then in herself she noticed unexpected effects on her menstrual cycle.
10:05 pm
"it wasn't a symptom that was on the list" she said. i expected my arm might be sore i might have a fever or headache. but that just wasn't on the list. kate clancy, on other scientist who studies female fertility at the university of illinois reported that she had the same symptoms after she got the vaccine. and she wrote about it in some detail on twitter. you can look it up. after she did write about it, the dozens of other women wrote in about similar experiences they have had after getting the vaccine. none of these symptoms have been described in the medical literature. the reason? the clinical trials for the vaccine never tested for the effects on the female menstrual cycle, fertility, or pregnant women. so maybe the symptoms of amount to nothing. maybe the amount to something. we can't say with a long-term effects of the vaccine will be on women, including pregnant women. honest people admit this. every scientist knows this. according to a recent study published in "the new england journal of medicine" "follow-up
10:06 pm
including follow-up of large numbers of women vaccinated is necessary to inform maternal pregnancy and infant outcomes. in other words, at this point, and there is no changing this, because it's true, we just don't know. again, that does not mean the coronavirus vaccine is dangerous. there is no proof that it's dangerous. but there doesn't need to be. we don't need proof of harm in order for public health officials to be careful and precise about how they distribute these drugs. no medicine is designed for every person in all circumstances. in fact, every prescription a doctor writes is the result of a cost-benefit analysis. most people, for example would consider chemotherapy a miracle treatment. it is. it saves lives. we are grateful for chemotherapy. but just because we are grateful for chemotherapy does not mean that we would give chemotherapy to the entire population. we don't even give chemotherapy to every cancer patient. because every patient is unique
10:07 pm
just as every person is. it is a precept of science. and somehow, our covid vaccination policy does not acknowledge this. for the purposes of vaccination, our leaders including our public health officials pretend that a 19-year-old athlete is an 80-year-old with emphysema. they both need the covid vaccination immediately. whatever else that is, it is not a scientific standard. it is quackery. and yet, every center appears to be unquestioningly on board with us. nbc news is not running, and you may have seen these. psa, public service announcement with an on-air demanding that everyone in the country of the shot. barack obama just released this creepy little video telling small children to get the shot. >> hi, everybody. it's barack. now that everyone under the age of 16 is eligible to get the vaccine, i want to talk about
10:08 pm
you getting yours. the vaccine is safe. it's effective. it's free. i got one. michelle got one. people you know got one. and now you can get one too. it's the only way we are going to get back to all the things we love, from safely spending time with grandparents, to going to concerts and watching live sports. so get the vaccine as soon as you can. >> tucker: some creepy old guy telling your children, your little kids to take medicine whose effects we do not fully understand. it's totally normal. yeah, that happens every day. don't ask questions. just do it. as was explained recently, we are not getting our freedom back until you do. >> and when we can reduce the level of infection in the community, increase vaccination rates, that is when at some point, hopefully soon, but at some point, we can relax the restrictions.
10:09 pm
i don't know if that works for many americans. for many people it probably does work to say yes we are in this together. it's patriotic. we are doing this together. but i think a lot of people are thinking kind of selfishly, thinking what is in it for me? they are not willing to wait until this herd immunity. if we can tell those individuals who otherwise would not give vaccinated, if we say to them, the moment of freedom for you is when you get vaccinated, when you reach the two week mark. these are people who otherwise might not be vaccinated. so let's give them that incentive. >> tucker: did you listen to that carefully? it is selfish, says the crank doctor on television, even to consider what effect a medicine might have on your body or on the bodies of your own children. it is selfish. that is the sort of person now in charge of america's public health policy. just shut up and take it. it's immoral to consider the risks. she just said that. some are telling us it's racist to consider the risk.
10:10 pm
the ladies on the view took the opportunity to inject race hate into an intrinsically color-blind issue. the ladies on "the view" informed us that only people of a certain color are holding the country back. >> white evangelical, 45% say they won't get vaccinated according to a research. republicans come almost 50% of republicans are refusing to get the vaccine. so we won't reach herd immunity because of those particular groups. so i say we need to shun those that refuse to get vaccinated. >> tucker: it is awful for anyone on a platform to talk like that, especially now. it is also destructive of the country. this is nothing to do with race. it has no bearing on race whatsoever. this is a question of free will. at this point, the people who haven't been vaccinated on a specific race, people who haven't been vaccinated against covid are the ones who have
10:11 pm
decided they don't want to be vaccinated against covid. in that, they are exercising what they assumed was a fundamental american right. the right to choose which medicines you put in your own body. until recently, all of us assume that we had that right and we did. and then the people in charge figured out how to take it away. they found our pressure point. if you disobey us, they've announced, as barack obama has affirmed and so has joe biden. if you disobey, we will prevent your children from being educated. that will work, by the way. because short of arrest and imprisonment, keeping children out of school is the most coercive measurement they can take. they still believe correctly or not that college is the key to advancement in our society. take that away and everything collapses. forbidding kids from getting an education, life of low status and low income. whether or not that is true,
10:12 pm
many parents believe it is true, as a matter of faith. we have been telling ourselves that for 80 years. so parents will do anything to save their children's future, including allowing them to get medicine they don't want and they don't need. parents across the country have already allowed school administrators to harm their children in the name of covid. and for the most part, they have said nothing. here is a recent scene from oregon. >> maggie williams, just seconds away from setting the summit school record and they do hundred meter. a moment of glory. overshadowed by this moment of concern. >> williams finished in 2 minutes and eight seconds, collapsing as she crossed the finish line. >> i felt like i just wasn't being able to get a full breath and multiple times of that happening, not being able to get enough air. i just felt super dizzy and then eventually passed out. >> williams blames her lack of oxygen on the mask she is required to wear during competition. >> tucker: forced to wear a mask she didn't need outside by administrators who couldn't care
10:13 pm
less about her health. this child passed out from lack of oxygen and as she did, the rest of us said nothing. that was not an actual scandal. so, having allowed that, should we really be surprised that children as young as 6 years old are now being forced into coronavirus vaccinations? in fact, short time ago, news broke, starting next week, the fda is planning to authorize pfizer's vaccine for children 12 and over. so what is next? it's not a question of the vaccine. you may want the vaccine for yourself and your children. you may not. it is a question of being forced to take it. and if we allow ourselves to be forced to take it, what is next? anything is the answer to that question. if authorities permitted to control a health care decision this instance, if they can force you and your children to take a vaccine you don't want and are afraid of, then what can't they do? nothing. they will have total power over your body and your mind forever. what is the limit to their power?
10:14 pm
there isn't one. a few parents seem to understand this and have taken to mid steps to resist it. one anonymous mother posted a letter she read to the college dean one showed that her kids would be required to give a shot. "the association of america think this is a terrible idea and so do i." she didn't give her name. she didn't give the name of the school. good for her. but where are the rest of the mothers, the ones who are willing to go on the record? there must be some. they know that if they go public, they will be attacked immediately by barack obama and cnn. they will be announced as anti-vaxxer anti-vaxxer? as if there are actually that many people in america who oppose vaccines. virtually every kid in america has already received the vaccines that the cdc tells parents to give their children by the age of 18. they have literally been vaccinated since birth. so americans are for vaccines. they always have been for vaccines.
10:15 pm
the reason that not every american is taking this vaccine is a measure of the sincere and legitimate questions they have about it. but no one should ever be forced to take this or any other medicine against their will. and unless they speak up now, and less they resist this, they'll be getting the shot whether they like it or not and a lot more shots after this. that's the one thing that's guaranteed. so, jordan peterson was a clinical psychologist in canada a few years ago and then he became famous because he stepped up to defend the undying and essential principles of freedom of speech. we had a long and fascinating conversation with jordan peterson about what is happening in this country. we'll show it. plus, it is bill's first day at fox news. he is joining us from los angeles. an amazing story about an attack

but the blm riots in minneapolis last summer destroyed the physical place. a 5-mile stretch of the city. if you don't believe it, go there now because it is still leveled. rioters in minneapolis murdered at least two people. by the way, that's two more the and rioters murdered at the capitol. and then they cost $500 million in property damage. they hit a small business, many of them as well as big-box stores. then they had civil rights demonstrations at a local target. [alarm sounding] >> this is the craziest stuff i've ever seen right now. [alarm sounding]
10:22 pm
>> tucker: so if you want civilization to continue, and most of us that we did, you can't allow behavior like that.i you can't allow people to run into target with hammers and smashed down cash registers and applaud them. that is exactly what our corporate class did, target, they responded to the riots with the destruction of their own store by giving $10 million to social justice causes. brian cornell is the chairman and ceo of target. that money didn't, out of his salary from unfortunately. it came straight from the shareholders. he said he had no problem with the violence against target. "as we face an inflection point in minneapolis and across the country, we are listening to our team. we are committed to using our size, scale, and resources to help heal and create lasting change." but not help heal the country. no. they don't care about the country. we know that because target went
10:23 pm
on to commission a pro-blm group to paint a mural on the front of the target store in minneapolis. the same store that blm broke into last year. if you are wondering how deep the well off corporate decadence is, it's bottomless. it shows the words together and i can't breathe. it also depicts a building on fire. now it is not clear which act of arson that mural on target is celebrating. targets across the street, they also set on fire last summer. but the point is clear. target endorses rioting and looting and so as the rest of corporate america. what they don't endorse it preserving our civilization and you should know that. while there aren't a lot of tv reporters who actually break new stories anymore.he so you notice when you find one. one we have noticed a lot in the last year's bill. you have seen him reporting from the show from our.
10:24 pm
today is his first day as a fox news national correspondent. we are thrilled by this. he has an occlusive new footage spon an attack on a police officer. congratulations. >> hey, tucker. thank you. glad to be on the team. it is a great example of the animosity that some of the officers out there are encountering industries. they are still in the process of rolling all of those out. it comes from a deputy. it is his own personal body camera.th he has been on the force for 14 years and tells me he has his own personal body camera to kind of protect himself from false allegations when he is out there at work. it's a good thing he did becaust a couple of weeks ago he did what he thought was an average traffic cop. a woman was using her cell phone while driving but it quickly fell apart. the woman went after him, started berating him, making racist comments and anti-police comments. take aim look.
10:25 pm
>> i pulled you over because -- >> because you are a murderer. >> you can't be on your cell phone while you are driving. >> you scared me. i can record you. >> may i have your driver's license? >> it's at my apartment. i am perfectly legal and i am a teacher. >> congratulations. >> you are a murderer. >> is there a reason you areat using your cell phone while driving? >> a racist. what is that name?e? >> it's a citation, man. >> here you go, mexican racist.i you are always going to be a mexican. you will never be white. you know that, right? >> fox news has learned the name of this woman. but at this time we are not going to identify her because we have reached out to her multiple times. still have not gotten a comment from her. he told me he was appalled by what he saw in that video there. but he commended his deputy for staying very professional and
10:26 pm
just doing his job and remaining calm. take a listen. >> she claims to be a teacher. i'm not so sure where she is teaching, an indictment on her profession. you have george floyd. some people want to label the entire profession as if everyone was a derek chauvin. it shows you that bigotry, racism comes in all colors and all faces pure that's proof of that right there. if you want to call all of the deputies murderers, unfortunately you are doing the exact same thing oft accusing other people of doing it against your own kind. >> all right, so here's the kicker here. the sheriff department confirmed to me that the woman in that video, she actually called internal affairs and filed a harassment complaint against that deputy right after that traffic stop happened. the department also tells me that that woman has a history of making false claims against
10:27 pm
deputies. so tucker, a good idea for this deputy to have a personal camera here. send it back to you. >> tucker: and she's teaching kids. bill, thanks for that and welcome to fox. well, jordan peterson is a canadian. he has watched carefully ever since what is happening in this country. he has had a long and fascinating history of interviews. that's next. ♪ ♪

"12 new rules to life." we just had a long fascinating genuinely fascinating conversation. new episode of "tucker carlson today." here is part of it. you made the decision in 2016 not to stay with the government of canada was prepared to force you to say. you decided i can't do that. it violates my conscience. my soul is at stake. i'm not doing it. looking back on that decision five years later, your life is completely different from what was. are you happy that you made that decision? was it worth it? >> i wouldn't say i'm happy that i made the decision. i wanted say that my life has been particularly happy over the last five years. it has been restful beyond comprehension for a variety of reasons. and i would say on a regular basis publicly, it's definitely part of that. but you know, you make your decisions in life and i decided when i was very young, in my mid-20s that i was going to say what i believed and see what
10:34 pm
happened. i talked to her early in the talk about adventure, about the adventure of truth. i don't think i'm happy about what has happened. if certainly have dragged my family through their fair share of both hell and also incomprehensible opportunity. it spans in both directions to a tremendous degree. but it has certainly been an adventure.er it has not been dull. i don't believe that it was a mistake. whatever happens, that as a consequence of telling the truth. it is the best thing that can happen. it doesn't really matter how it looks to you at the moment or maybe even across the years. because you have to, it is an article of faith in some sense.m do you believe that reality is better constituted as aa
10:35 pm
consequence of truth or falsity? if you believe that reality is best constituted as a consequence of truth, then you have a responsibility to speak the aru truth. and you can't assess the consequences and say, well, that was a mistake. because part of the decision that reality is best constituted as a consequence of the truth is the decision that no matter what happens, if it is a consequence of telling the truth.st and so that is what i conclude. it's like this is what happened because i said what i have to say as clearly as i could say it. and that is as good as it could be. now whether or not that is good, well it is good compared to all possible alternatives, all possible realistic alternatives. that is an article of faith as far as i am concerned. our culture is predicated on the idea that truth in speech is of divine significance. it's the fundamental of our culture. if you believe that, then you acted out. you take the consequences.
10:36 pm
you are going to take the consequences one way or another. so you want the truth on your side or do you want to hide behind falsehoods? >> tucker: that's a question. hiding behind falsehoods. you couldn't watch the full interview, the inspirationalodke interview of jordan peterson by going to open wide foxnation.com. we hope you will. under normal circumstances, any normal country with civil liberties, the federal government needs a warrant if they want to spy on you. but that is too high a bar for the biden administration, which definitely wants to spy on you if you didn't vote for ijoe biden. so now, private companies will be allowed to circumvent the whole process. i am guessing that bragging about it on cnn,n, senator josh hawley has a new book out on the perils of big tech. he underscores them. he joins us next. ♪ ♪ underscores them. he joins cal: our confident forever plan is possible

10:42 pm
a lot of people do that. here is the interesting about frank. at the same time he is doing that, he also advises thee leadership of the republican party. so frank works for google and nike and delta air lines among many others. several years ago, how to blame rural americans for thousands of young people in rule america drop dead of opioid o.d. he is not someone that normal people would go to for advice. if you are running the republican party, you definitely wanted because frank is effectively a democrat. we know this because we've listened to him. now, the focused groups that he conducts, in real life, they bear no resemblance whatsoever to the viewshe of actual
10:43 pm
republican voters. so, again the question is how did someone like this wind up with so much influence in the republican party. why do republican officials listen more carefully to frank and they listen to their own voters? that is a mystery. a lot of people have asked that question in washington. as of three days ago, here was our best guess for life. so, why does frank remain a fixture in republican politics at a time when the companies he works for are opposed to the republican party inclusively so? well, in part because he is particularly close too the house minority leader, kevin mccarthy of california, and has been since mccarthy entered politics. in the interview earlier this year, once described kevin mccarthy as a personal friend. and that relationship gives frank luntz outside influence over the republican party's policy decision. so, he is a personal friend of kevin mccarthy, who was the top ranking republican in the house. that is what we said. turns out we didn't know the half of it.
10:44 pm
over the weekend, we got a call from a source who said that inf fact, frank luntz and kevin mccarthy are not simple he friends. they are roommates. kevin mccarthy lives in frank luntz's apartment in downtown washington. that is what we were told. and honestly, we did not believe it. the top republican in the house lives with a google lobbyist? come on.el bl even by the sleazy and corrupt standards of politics in washington, that does not seem possible. but this morning, since we heard it, we called to check with kevin mccarthy's spokesperson. she all but chuckled at the suggestion. no, when he is in washington, she told us, kevin mccarthy rents hotel rooms or sleeps in his office in the capital here and he certainly living with frank luntz.s okay. and that seemed logical to us. but we did press a little bit because we got the tip from someone we consider reliable and we just wanted to be sure. so, the spokeswoman said she would d get back to us. two hours later, we got this text. "following up on our conversation from earlier today,
10:45 pm
because of the pandemic, mccarthy has rented a room in washington at a fair market price from frank once." so, actually the top republican in the house does live with someone who lobbies for google. mystery solved. not only are they friends, they are roommates. so now you know why they listen to frank luntz, but they don'tse listen to you. no matter how cynical you have become lately watching washington, that is still a pretty remarkable thing to learn. but other questions remain. for example, what does the coronavirus pandemic have to do with kevin mccarthy's choice of apartment. they unleash a virus on the world and all of a sudden congressional leaders have to live with frank luntz? was there cdc guidance on that? if anything, covid increased the number of housing options in washington, d.c. in some places come apartment prices fell.
10:46 pm
but not in frank luntz's building. he lives in one of the most expensive buildings in washington. we pulled the deed and we checked. the estimate that we found shows that his condo, part of the city were likely rent for over $5,000 a month. that is "fair market" price. the question is, is he paying $5,000 every month for him to live in his house? we would love to know the answer. we have several and no one got back to us with an answer. if kevin mccarthy isn't paying market price, he is likely violating house ethics rules. and someday we have no doubt we will find out exactly. but no matter what he is i payi, the price of the apartment is not the crime here. kevin mccarthy's real crime is mocking his voters. kevin mccarthy promises republicans he shares their values here he tells them he's on their side.t he says that he will fight for them against permanent washington, the forces that would like to destroy their
10:47 pm
lives. voters believe kevin mccarthy when he says this. they sent him back to office every two years. they sent him money. and at the end of the day, kevin mccarthy goes home to frank luntz's apartment and he laughs about it. well, a remarkable story, cnn of all places reporting that the biden administration will use private groups to spy on american citizens without a warrant. "outsourcing some information gathering to outside firms would give that apartment of homeland security the benefit of tactics it isn't legally able to do in-house because of thee constitution, such as using false personas to gain access to private groups used by extremists." extremists being of course euphemism for anyone who didn't vote for joe biden, meaning you. he has thought a lot about big tech and its uses and misuses. he is an author of the book "the tyranny of big tech. senator hawley joins us tonight. center, thank you so much for
