♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the united states remains the most powerful country in the world pair that's the good news. what's interesting is this country has occupied that position for so long that relatively few americans have considered what would happen if we slip from that perch. it wouldn't matter if america became subordinate to other nations? there's a debate about that. at work, does it matter to you who the bosses? it probably does matter, thus

the person who can fire you and it isn't so different from that. the rest of the planet takes the orders whether they like it or not. we've lost sight of that because for more than a century, america effectively has been in charge of much of the worldha and thats exactly what we have stayed rich and free for that time. most americans on some level understand this is an arrangement worth preserving their so much worse. not so much. how would you feel about surrendering the u.s. dollar as the world's reserve currency and immediately going bankrupt? no thanks. most of us would like to avoid outcomes like that and what's why we spend more than any country in the world on the military. there's a reason is the largest government agency not just because defense contractors are powerful. in exchange for all of that money and all that power and all the oversight we give it. thinking of ways to keep america strong.

the question is how have they been doing that? how do you judge for yourself? most of the general's see quoted in the press meets an counterproductive diversity role. assembling the world's first transgender seal team by not defending the united states. the conflicts that hannah gone says is preparing forcing comically small and outdated whether it's wrangling with illiterate tribesmen in afghanistan for ramping up for some new war against a remote group of buildings in syria.e can port a relevant country really be our gravest enemies? we act like it. that's been confirmed tonight. the weather itself, going forward, the u.s. military has still declared a hot ward on global warming. >> without addressing the

climate crisis. we face all kinds of threats in our line of work but few of them truly deserve to be called existential.cl a climate crisis does deserve to be called existential.de >> tucker: existential. you've got a cliche, he will read it on television. floyd austin of course, a full-time ideologue as well. having lloyd austin at the pentagon is like handing control of the entire u.s. military to the editorial page of "the new york times." the single scariest risk our soldiers faces the possibility they may have to serve alongside americans who didn't vote for joe biden. >> if confirmed, i will fight hard to stamp out sexual assault and to read our ranks of racists and extremists did the job of the department of defense is to keep america safe from our enemies, but we can't do that if some of those enemies lie within

our own ranks. >> tucker: he is a joke and ar mediocrity and of course he was confirmed by the senate as if he was impressive, but he's not and the results are entirely predictable. puts a finer point on what exactly is happening at the pentagon under lloyd austin. austin has hired an activist called bishop garrison is the head of the military's vast ts diversity and inclusion apparatus. a group of offices that has nothing to do with fighting wars.ilil just spend 5 minutes googling bishop garrison. he announced anyone who supports donald trump, tens of millions of american citizens, many of whom who have served in the military as a white supremacist and he said there is no room for nuance on that question. garrison wrote a lot of things like that. you can google it again, you should. now, he is one of the most powerful officials in the u.s. military.th democrats in congress are thrilled to watch this, their party now has all the tanks and drones.

with strangers republicans don't seem to have noticed it happened, still getting the same vacuous speeches about the troops and then signing off on ever expanding defense with no oversight. the effect, the same fighting force that for generations we have been so proud of have been captured without a shot by people who seem like rejects from the google hr department and its defenders, the defenders of the troops can't be bothered to say a word about it. do they have television? have they seen the army's latest recruiting act?ro >> this is the story of a soldier who operates the patient's missile-defense systems. it begins in california with a little girl raised by two moms. although i had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin, i also marched for equality.

i like to think i've been defending freedom from an early age. improve my inner strength and the shatters stereotypes along the way. >> tucker: i also marched for equality. oh, shut up. who cares? please stop talking about yourself for once. it is boring and irrelevant and insulting. this is not just your country. it belongs to all of us, your job is to defend it, please do so.to it's becoming clear they have no interest in defending it and here's the latest evidence of that.o it comes from cbs last night. this is a clip from a 60 minutes report on all things ufos in the u.s. military. watch this. >> a navy aircrew struggles to lock onto a fast-moving object off the u.s. atlantic coast in 2015.. recently released images may not convince ufo skeptics but the pentagon admits they don't know what in the world this is or this.ly

or this. or this. >> tucker: ufos, they are spooky and kind of funny, crazy people believe in them up until you get to the line the pentagon admits it doesn't know what in the world this is. and that's where you pause because from a national security perspective, that is a very big problem. how big problem is it? one navy pilots of the u.s. military has observediv unidentified flying objects maneuvering in restricted airspace off the coast of virginia "every day for two years. >> confirms these are images of objects it can't identify. lieutenant graves told us pilots training off the atlantic coast see things like that all the time. >> every day. every day for at least a couple of years. >> every day for a couple of years?

>> tucker: every day for years. flying in restricted airspace is not a small thing, try that in your cessna 172 off of virginia beach sometime, he will get very wet, will get killed. after days of daily incursions come i didn't do anything about it. what possible explanation that they couldn't. i military was completely outmatched technologically by whatever these were and they were not weather balloons.on here is the former director of the advanced aerospace identification program. >> you know how this sounds of it sounds, wacky. i'm not telling you that it doesn't sound wacky. but i'm telling you is it's real. imagine technology that can do six or 700g forces, flight 13,000 miles an hour, can evade radar and can fly through air and water and possibly space and

has no obvious signs of propulsion's, no control surfaces, and yet still can defy the natural effects of earth's gravity, that's precisely what we are seeing. >> tucker: sound like a potential threat? you think? so what does the pentagon done about it? we don't know the full story as of tonight but we don't know that they've done anything about it other than ignore it and then cover the fact they ignored it by declaring the whole subject classified for decades and then spending the rest of the day thinking about how to bomb syria again and with the marine corps of people who voted for donald trump. the sad thing is we have a whole new branch of the military that might be perfectly designed to assess what these things are and figure out if they were a threat or not, there was ever a reason to have space for us, this might be it. space forces otherwise occupied, undertaking political purges of their own ranks.to he was lieutenant colonel commanded the space for us until

the white house decided it was politics. >> since they can command as a commander about ten months ago, what i considered incompatible with what america is and should be. it wasn't just prolific on social media or throughout the country during this past year, spreading throughout the united states military. i recognize those narratives as being marxist in nature.. >> tucker: so every day for two years, unidentified flying objects behaving in ways that seem to contradict what we know about physics in the u.s. military spending its time as of now and what does this remind you? a clear and present threat appears on the horizon, thesi people in charge are so obsessed with loyalty to the party that they can't respond because there focused on attacking their own

organization. when they say all revolutions are the same, they are right. ufos are real and whatever else they are, they are a prima facie challenge to the u.s. military doing things the u.s. military does not allow and they are doing it and continued in appeared to be focused on the u.s. military bear they have clustered around military installations with no real response except more secrecy. at one point, unidentified flying objects shut down the nuclear weapons facility at an air force base in the state of montana. ten icbms, ballistic missiles were temporarily knocked off-line and noticed a glowing red object floating in this guy, seems like out of a movie but it happen. decades ago, many more citing around the country. according to journalist george knapp, all of the nuclear facilities, savannah hill, all e have dramatic incidents with these unknown aircraft appearing

over the facilities and no one knew where they were from org what they were doing there. again, for decades, this has happened. apparently, no one knows why. no one seems especially alarmed. in the 1950s, some people worried about it.pa they classified an fbi document from 70 years ago to search unknown flying objects measuring 50 feet in diameter. more recently, declassified footage from a ufo incident in 2004 and two incidents from 2015, it was reported by navy pilots for a training flight. we have no explanation for what these objects are. just days ago, the pentagon confirmed in an 182nd video of three ufos a u.s. warship is real. that footage was shot in july of 2019 and collected by the ufos task force.

in that amount up in the hands of the journalist to put it online. so the question is what are these things, why are they buzzing our skies, why do they seem attracted to the united states military and invite above all is in the pentagon more focused on this? it seems like a threat if there ever was one. while flying for the u.s. military, happy to have him on tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so when you hear a navy pilot say that every day for two years. >> anything, i think it shows a weakness in our reporting structure into the intel community to get this word out that there objects out there

that we can't explain, we don't know what they are doing, we know they attract high speedshe and nothing is being done about it and there is a level of frustration. >> tucker: if we had surveillance video that showed human beings of some kind of were into military bases, the most classified parts of those bases and had been for 50 years and didn't know their identities, couldn't catch them, how much concern with there be about that? saying is just one of those mysteries or do we say we got to figure this out? >> we would say holy smokes, we have to figure this out and increase our security posture in order to stop the intrusion. >> tucker: you always want to assume the best and i always do with the military, but why do you think we haven't done that over 70 years? >> when you go back to the 50s and 60s with project blue book, the focus was to disprove

or discredit because we didn't want to alarm the population is what they say, you get into modern day like our incident,ec there was a lack of knowledge of how to report it or be done with it so it was one of those we will ignore it and it will go away and it stayed that way until 2017 when "the new york times" posted an article that said this is real, there's a task force being funded by the government thanks to harry reid. >> tucker: that's right, and good for him. i remember when your story first came out and i remember reading that you had been mocked or discouraged when you are in the military from talking about this publicly. i remember you were definitely mocked when you came out with it and that we learned a lot of people have seen this, how does that make you feel and why don't you think you are encouraged to explain more fully what you saw? >> i think it would've been good when the incident happened to investigate because the data was there and now the data is gone,

the radar pictures are gone, the tapes we had are gone, so it's one of those hindsight being 2020 and we didn't do that, i like to believe that nowadays the reporting is going up, you are seeing those that jeremy put out that the military is taking this more and more seriously through the intelligence channels and senator rubio putting a clause in the billll that said you have six months to release this and now forcing the government to show their cards. >> tucker: i appreciate your coming on, retired commander, thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so we reported last week that tony fauci signed off on funding for research that apparently created the coronavirus in a lab in china, he was confronted by that and denied it. instead, he just delivered a speech at emory university identifying the real culprit behind the pandemic, of course, it's you.

we will tell you how you because this pandemic withth candace owens. ♪ ♪ ca candace owens.

♪ ♪ >> tucker: we learned last week and a remarkable and very tightly reported piece by nicholas wade who for 30 years was the top science correspondent of "the new york times" that tony fauci himself signed off on funding u.s. tax dollars for the wuhan institute of virology to do the research that caused the corona pandemic, that created covid-19 which escaped from that lab and he definitely signed off on the funding for that research but he hasn't apologized for that d or take any responsibiliy

according to tony fauci, the real culprit behind the pandemic is systemic racism. >> covid-19 has shown a bright light on our own society's failings. when the people of color get infected withur sars-cov-2, they will develop a severe consequence related to social determinants of health going back to disadvantageous conditions that some people of color find themselves in from birth. regarding the availability of adequate diet, access to health care and the undeniable effects of racism in our society. >> tucker: thanks, dr. fauci. not my fault, yes i signed off on the funding that created covid-19 but the lesson is we've seen a spotlight shined on our society's failings. in other words, it's your fault. right.

many believe this of course because it's good for them. at today's white house press briefing, someone from government television pbs explained that getting rid of mask mandates is racist.omgo >> the largest national nurses union is saying that the cdc guidelines on masks is putting front line workers especially people of color at risk and they are calling for the cdc to refer to that, what is the white house's stance on that particular saying that their members are at risk? >> tucker: candace owens is the host of candace and a frequent guest on the show and she joins us, thank you so much for coming on.n. so dr. fauci, men who deals in science and the things we know has diverted blame from himself where it ought to reside to the rest of us by saying systemic racism has caused thesc sufferig of covid. assess this if you would. >> is just so brilliant. always looking for a victim

narrative and let me tell you if there's ever been a victim that is deserving of airtime, it is science. science has been killed by the left. it i like to eulogize science because it made so much senseee and now it is suddenly over and i'd like to say that dr. fauci is when you know when your kid and you play that game simon says, he always wondered who was simon and why are we doing what he says? simon is dr. fauci making this stuff up as he goes along. where your mass, now says covid is racist and it affects black people more poorly. we don't know why he is saying it, it makes no sense but apparently a lot of people are following his orders and the new push to blame this somehow on systemic racism.lyly he is concerned about systemic racism and talking about hown covid might affect black people, i think what he's hitting that is obesity. we represent a higher percentage that are obese, black americans and note obesity is a number one killer in the america, he might

be onto something but race is not determining whether or not you're fat or skinny and these are discussions that we should be having. the left is obsessed withbe politicizing science and right now, the policy is if you want to accomplish anything in life, just call the other thing racist. that's exactly what they do over and over and over again. >> tucker: to eulogize science, there's something very poignant about that because what you're saying is true. there is a meme going around online and i can't resist repeating it because it is so perfectly 2021, why shouldn't given the current state of science people identify as vaccinated? why do you need an actual vaccine when you can just say i'm vaccinated? if you can change your, why not your vaccine status? >> saying there's no such thing as an objective reality or being a girl or a boy anymore and if you disagree, i'm a bigot and you're a bigot.

i can walk into a room and be a mermaid if i want to be one so i identify as someone who was vaccinated. not that it matters. now nobody is wearing mask. if he is now saying he trusts people to make health decisions by themselves, that can't be the case. this has always been about power from the very beginning and personally, i think your program is responsible for a lot of these changes because you start investigating dr. fauci, asking the right questions that everybody should be asking and suddenly let's keep looking at dr. fauci because that man is corrupt. >> tucker: i think the simon. says analogy is perfect.

he came out tomorrow instead of where your underwear inside out and put on a viking hat with horns, the entire upper west side of manhattan would do it because he said so and it tells you you never realized what an obedient country it is. i appreciate your wisdom, thank you. so just days after bill gates told us on twitter that he was getting a divorce, there is new information about his relationship with jeffrey epstein. those conspiracy theorists say a small group of really powerful people control the world andje have an interest in little kids, just a conspiracy theory but we will tell you what we do know just ahead. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: if you've ever suspected all the creepy people know each other, and may be true. learning more tonight about bill gates' relationship to jeffrey epstein. trace gallagher joins us with more on that story.

>> the daily beast is reporting bill gates started hanging out with jeffrey epstein in 2011. in 2008, epstein was convicted in florida of having with a 14-year-old girl so three years after his child b b conviction, bill gates reportedly starts meeting with epstein to get advice on how to end his "toxic marriage" to melinda gates. it wasn't just a few meetings but a series of meetings over several years at epstein's $77 million new york time town house on the fact that they are close to something melinda gates found disturbing. a representative of bill gates said the reporting on how many times bill gates met with jeffrey epstein and the reason for those meetings is not accurate. another gates foundation employees says bill gates was only socializing with the sex offender to gain access to i epstein's professional connections though one would

assume the fourth richest man in the world would have his own connections. a man who wrote a book about the relations said the divorce proceedings may shed some light. watch. >> the fact that this will likely go to court, court proceedings that will be perhaps an uglier battle means as far as the relationship with bill gates will get more and more details. >> don't you know jeffrey epstein's victims are already asking for more details about that relationship. >> tucker: i bet they are. maybe we can get some actual details, that would be great. trace gallagher, thank you so much for that. so all over the country beginning early last june, school curricula have changed completely and become explicitly political and most parents have just sat there on their hands and watched it happen, watch their kids get hurt by it but one group of parents in virginia right outside washington is

fighting back against all of this, against a curriculum that teaches their kids to hate their country and to judge their classmates based on how they look, on their skin color. several parents have the courage to say this publicly two days ago at a school board meeting. watch. >> it is a tactic that was used by hitler and the ku klux klan on slavery to dumb down my ancestors so we cannot think for ourselves. it is racist, abusive, discriminates against one's color.n let me educate you. an honest dialogue does not oppress, it is to communicate without deceiving people. today, we don't need your agreement. we want action and backbone for what we ask for today, to ban crt. i came down today to tell you tt your face that we are coming together and we are strong. this will not be the last respectfully. >> tucker: our instant response was that woman deserves an award.

she's a mother, a member of the group parents against critical theory and we are very pleased to have her on the show tonight. thank you very much for coming on. what made you do this? so many parents have not done this, you stood up there and did this on camera. why? >> it contradicts everything that martin luther king fought for. it's hatred, marxist ideology, and it places the child in a loophole of oppression making them feel as a victim. i can't stand for that. >> tucker: amazing, amazing. so describe the kinds of things that you're fighting against, judging on the basis of appearance come on skin color, is that right? >> yes. it's our job as parents in one example i could give you was the school was replacing the morning announcement with the news.

the second, children reached out to find out how they could help and join a club to see if they could relate with one another undivided and they were denied by the color of their skin for the equity ambassador club. a >> tucker: so certain kids couldn't get in -- i don't know what colors you're talking about but the facts remain kids could not get into a club because they were the wrong color. >> correct. >> tucker: how is that different from darker periods we consider evil in american history? that sounds very similar. >> plain example. you cannot further the brotherhood of a man by encouraging class hatred that our constitution is what unites us, not the color of our skin so it's just time for us to stand up for one another. this is the last free country.

>> tucker: what was the response? i love to hear you say that, but what was the response when you did this when he spoke so publicly about what your school is teaching? >> it's been positive, i never knew there were so many parents that felt the way i did. i love people, so for anyone to go against good and be okay with evil, you can't fix a bad reaction with another bad action, it just doesn't make sense. >> tucker: that's right, exactly right. i'm so glad that you came on the show tonight and what a voice you are. i hope people emulate you. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: it was our honor. so everything has changed in the past five years but certainly in the past five months. all of a sudden, one side seems to have all the power at every level of american society and it has all kinds of effects but one of them as people who aren't in

we write the stories that we think are interesting and we distribute them where they are allowed to be distributed. >> tucker: we follow the rules. turns out the rest of us should've followed up on that. alex marlow did, he found bloomberg executives regularly flew to china to meet with senior officials on the chinese communist party including that countries propaganda ministry and you can read details on -- thank you so much for coming on. this is one of those stories that i think all of us remember of whatever happened to that? you found out. the next 3 minutes, just outline what you found about those. >> i'm thrilled to share some of the details of my bombshell investigation into corporate

media and this isn't just a book about simple liberal bias. you're watching a show like thit or breitbart, you know it goes so much deeper than that. this is about weaponize corporate media against the individual and how deep their ties are, some of the worst entities including chinese propagandist. there is this group called the southern central information office -- state council information office. apologize for that. they control the licensure into whether or not bloomberg has access to the gigantic market of china, for the bloomberg lp business but it's also known asn the states propaganda office, so what they've done is sense deputies including a guy named kevin who went on to become the campaign manager for michael bloomberg and himself went in 2015 and they would have these meetings and it's to extend the licensure which is up for renewal every 24 months that's what we saw with the conversations according to the

propagandist, they all involve a couple of themes and these themes are developing chinese media relationships with the united states and presenting china and chinese stories to the world. i don't know if this is stillhi going on, but the vice president of bloomberg goes into bloomberg campaign and now is back at bloomberg but he is not alone. goes throughout the company and continues as far as we know and is not limited to bloomberg.g. >> tucker: what is so distressing about this as most of our audience doesn't watch bloomberg but if you work on wall street, you definitely do. you have software on your desk, people are using "bloomberg news" to understand world financial markets so propaganda is filtered through bloomberg has a massive effect on our country. >> that's correct and also representative of what i believe is a media establishment in the united states of america that is willing to compromise on basic american values. bloomberg ran for president in the united states and is

currently the u.s. envoy to the u.n. on climate. he's excused pollution and also excuse that xi jinping is of dictator and says he's not a dictator, willing to do a lot of work with a regime that does not have a first amendment because he wanted to be president. most importantly, he is one of the biggest employers of journalists on the planet as we know it and this type of guy is willing to work with chinese propagandists who do not believe in free speech. >> tucker: so loathsome. but he's a billionaire, so he gets a pass. i appreciate you coming on tonight, congratulations on the book and thank you for your reporting. a quick reminder, tucker carlson today is out now featuring an interview with pedro gonzales and we will be back 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sincere enemy of lying, smugness, and,
