i appreciate it. >> ben: thank you for watching "fox news primetime. i'm ben domenech. we'll be back tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the utter fraudulence of tony fauci is obvious now and it is widely acknowledged. but it was not always obvious. in march of last year, we interviewed dr. fauci on the show. we treated him with respect and took his answer seriously. we are americans, so we assumed the man in charge of protecting the u.s. from covid must be rational and impressive. we also assumed he must be honest.

we were wrong. it soon became clear that tony felt she was just another sleazy federal bureaucrat here deeply political and often dishonest. more shocking than that, we then learned that he himself was implicated in the very pandemic he had been charged with fighting. dr. fauci supported the grotesque and dangerous experiments that appeared to make covid possible. evidence that accumulated over the course of the year. tonight, we have the mother lode. thanks to a freedom of information request from buzzfeed, we have thousands of emails to and from anthony fauci that go back to the early winter of 2020. collectively they show that from the beginning, tony fauci was worried that the public might conclude covid had originated at the wuhan institute of virology. now why would tony fauci be concerned that americans would conclude that? possibly because tony fauci knew perfectly well that he had

funded gain of function experiments at that very same laboratory. emails prove that pouch he lied about this under oath. consider this exchange, which began the evening of january 31st, 2020. it was a friday just before midnight. the first email came from an immunologist who works at the research institute in la jolla, california. anderson warned found she that covid had appeared to have originated in a laboratory. "they make up a really small part of the genome here less than 1%. one has to look really closely at all sequences to show that some of the features potential he look engineered. the next day on february 1st, tony fauci wrote back. thanks christian. talk soon on the call. he then sent an urgent email to his deputy. the subject of that email and all caps was important. "it is essential that we speak this. keep your cell phone on. read this paper as well as the

email that i will forward. you will have tasks today that must be done. attached to that email was a document that was entitled "nature medicine sars gain of function .pdf." now, it referred to ralph barr, a urologist based in the u.s. works with a woman called dr. shushan ling, known as the fat lady. now keep in mind that during the questioning from senator rand paul of kentucky fairly recently, tony fauci denied that the same ralph had conducted gain of function research. again, this is the rough bark in his attachment, which was entitled sars gain of function .pdf. and yet, under oath before the united states congress, fauci denied this. >> dr. barrett does not do gain

a function research. if it is, it's according to the guidelines and it is being conducted in north carolina. if you look at the progress reports, it is not gain of function despite the fact that people tweet that. >> tucker: oh, it wasn't just on twitter. it was in fauci's own emails. in retrospect, that looks a lot like perjury. we do know that starting early last year, a lot of people were worried that covid had not occurred naturally. they were concerned it had been instead manipulated in a lab in china. and yet they seemed determined to hide those facts from the public. again, why? on the afternoon of february 1st last year, fauci held a conference call with several top virologists. most of the details of the call were hidden from public view. they have been redacted. the other call was related to a document entitled "coronavirus sequence comparison." a british physician who runs a

research nonprofit reminded everyone on the call that what they said was top-secret. "information and discussion shared in total confidence and not be, to be shared until agreement on next steps." an article from the website zero hedge. that piece suggested that the coronavirus might have been used as a bio weapon. we know it is a more plausible explanation that what we were told on the media. for the crime of sight dominic saying that out loud, zero hedgd from social media platforms. until recently, you are not allowed to suggest that covid might be man-made? why couldn't you suggest that? the fact-checkers wanted allow it. why wouldn't they? because tony fauci assured the tech monopolies of the coronavirus could not have been man-made. and so the tech monopolies shut down the topic. watch file she lied. >> a group of highly qualified

evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences there and the sequences in bats as they evolve and the mutations that it took is now totally consistent with a species from an animal to a human. >> tucker: that was april 17th 2020. very shortly into the course of this pandemic. at that point, what tony fauci just asserted as known could not have conclusively been known. that was a lie. tony fauci suggested that he knew because top researchers had decided conclusively that this must have jumped naturally from an animal to a human being. again, at that point he could not have known that. that was dishonest. two days after he said that, one of the virologists that tony fauci had funded to conduct wrote to thank him for the help. that man, a man called peter

complained to fauci that the american tax dollars he had taken for the experiments were being "publicly targeted by fox news reporters." he was grateful for tony fauci's support. "i just want to say a personal thank you on behalf of our staff and collaborators." strangely, most of the specific email to fauci has been redacted. it was redacted under section b7a. that specific exemption to the law applies to "records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that production of those documents could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement. are they under criminal investigation? we can only hope they are. they certainly deserve it. at this point we can't say for sure. we do know that fauci hasn't simply lied about the origins of covid pretending to know things he could not know. he has also lied about vaccines

in key ways. in march of last year, former obama official wrote to fauci to ask a very simple question, one that we have asked countless times. are people who are recovered from covid generally immune from getting infected with covid once again? that applies to about 100 million americans. so it's not a small question. fauci's response. "no evidence in this regard, but you would assume there would be substantial immunity postinfection." well yes, you would assume that. we always have. in fact, studies now show it is true. people who have had covid and recover almost never get sick from covid. so they don't need to be vaccinated. yet, through this day, tony fauci has never admitted that in public. in his email, he admitted something else that is also now obvious. surgical masks, the paper kind all of us where all really work. they offer very little protection from covid. in fact, at least one study shows that it may accelerate transmission of viruses. they are in short a form of

make-believe. yet, once again while under oath in public, tony fauci claimed exactly the opposite. >> you are telling everybody to wear a mask whether they have had an infection or vaccine. what i'm saying is they have immunity and everyone agrees they have immunity. what studies do have that people who have had the vaccine or had the infection are spreading the infection? if we are not spreading the infection, isn't it just theater? >> you are wearing two masks. isn't that theater? >> here we go again with the theater. let me just state for the record that masks are not theater. masks are protective and we have immunity. if you already have immunity, you are wearing a mask to give comfort to others. i totally disagree with you. >> tucker: rand paul is a physician. he's smart. what he just said was true and the science shows that it's true. there's not much debate about it actually among honest people. but tony fauci claimed it wasn't true. he lied. why would he do that?

well here's one reason. the email showed that tony fauci speaks regularly to bill gates. that's odd. bill gates is not a doctor. bill gates is not a scientist. he is a very rich man who made billions making mediocre software for office computers. so why would tony fauci be in such regular contact with bill gates? bill gates comes up more than two dozen times when you search the fauci email. has he profited in any way from tony fauci's covid guidance? that would definitely be worth knowing immediately. and yet we don't know. our media don't seem interested in finding out. in fact, here is how cnn covered the emails today. "thousands of emails from and to dr. fauci revealed the weight that came with his role as a frank honesty within the trump administration's covid task force. could you imagine a more dishonest characterization of anything and that? it's hard to.

by the way, it wasn't just cnn. no reporters asked about these emails at today's white house press briefing. not one question. but you shouldn't be surprised. of course they didn't ask. tony fauci is too big to question at this point. "oh, my god, one," one biden voter road. is there anything i can do for you besides being grateful? wash my feet with your tears, fauci may have responded. we can't say that he did respond that way. we don't have his reply. we do know that in affluent neighborhoods, you can still see signs that say "thank you dr. fauci." what does that tell you? it tells you that tony fauci is no longer a scientist. he never was one. tony fauci is a figure of religious veneration. he is for people who don't believe in god. he is not a theologian. he is a science reporter. he is the best science reporter in the united states. he has been covering tony fauci

since the very first day. and he joins us tonight to assess the emails and what they tell us. thank you for coming on tonight. there are a lot of emails here. we explain only a few of them. you read them. what jumped out at you? what have you learned today? >> so yes, there are a lot of emails. you did a really great job laying out the most important stuff. what i would say is i think it's really important to think back to january 31st 2,020 and february 1st and 2nd 2020. the reports coming out of china were horrifying. there was fear that the infection fatality rate of the number of people who died from this was want to be three or 4%. that meant that if the chinese can it contain this virus and it spread worldwide, it might be 10 million americans who died. 200 million plus people might have died worldwide if the numbers coming out of china were as bad as they seemed at first. so if you are tony fauci, you

know this better than anybody. you know what the risk is here. you know it first. you are hearing from doctors. you are hearing from people in china. and so, the idea that this might have come out of a lab in china that you helped finance, even minimally, and then experiments that you supported even if it wasn't a specific experiment that you supported, but the idea of gain of function research that you supported was possibly responsible for this, you are going to be tarred and feathered. and so, clearly when he received that email from christian anderson, he was extremely upset. you can see it and what he tells his deputy to do. he says, you need to be ready. today is going to be a big day. we are want to have a secret conference call to talk about what we really know. so here is what i will say. there is still a tremendous amount we don't know. first of all, we don't know, we don't have proof that this came out of the wuhan lab and we may

never have proof. because the people who should have been pushing for an investigation in 2020 instead steered us in a completely different direction and made it impossible for anybody but you and me and a few others to question whether or not this may have been a lab leak after all and we were called racists for even doing so when the idea that somehow this might have been the result of chinese people eating bats is not racist. it's a joke. so at best, okay, at best, you have a guy who didn't want this investigated and who worked in secret because he worked with christian anderson to put that paper, to put a paper in nature magazine in march. he consulted with christian anderson. it's in the emails on that paper. although his name is not on it. and that paper became something that steered people away from questioning even the idea for more than a year. and now it may be too late.

>> tucker: what an amazing story. you are a novelist in addition to everything else. no one would dare write a story line like this. no one would believe it. >> it's great. the greatest thing is the email where he tells, it's going to be a big day. i mean, it's really movie villain quality. we could talk about this, i know you have a ton of guests. we could talk about this all day. we haven't begun to start to talk about the failures of the media on this. if you really want to know more, you should come check out my twitter feed and check out the other people were pushing this. because the media is not reporting it. >> tucker: they are liars. i appreciate your coming on tonight. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so the official story is that a cyber attack crippled this country's supply of gas just a few weeks ago. now these attacks seem to be everywhere. even the martha's vineyard

perry. >> hit tucker. we hear a lot about the mega cyber attacks. they have identified 1400 attacks in 2020 and the numbers could rise this year because gangs are now going after targets that are both critical and highly visible. you know the ones that generate fear. the latest target is the world's largest meat processing company. it is based in brazil, but the attack was directed here in the u.s. and australia. j.b. says it's back online but it's very unclear whether they will be at full capacity. being down just one day could lower u.s. meat production by 25%. and even the threat of lower demand will push meat prices even higher. we don't know if jps has paid a ransom but the company acknowledges it did get a ransom demand from a russian-based operation. remember, last month, the colonial pipeline paid $4.4 million following the

attack that shut down the pipeline for several days. president biden said today he does not think vladimir putin is testing him. others think putin is. and russia is certainly not holding the cyber gangs accountable. we should note the largest ferry service to nantucket and martha's vineyard has been hit by a ransomware attack. they say customer service will be delayed, though we don't yet know the origin of the attack. we do know the cyber attack in san diego last month compromised the personal and financial installation of more than 147,000 patients, staff, and doctors. tucker. >> tucker: amazing. thanks so much. someone just sent this. i've got to read this. apparently felt she did his first interview on msnbc responding to the emails. here's what job bush's former staff said. the true mark is if they look

good even when their personal emails come out. sucking up to tony fauci in the wake of learning what we just learned. it's beyond belief. joe biden gave a genuinely disgusting and divisive speech yesterday in oklahoma. we are going to tell you what he said and what it means after the break. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> tucker: if you really wanted to hurt this country and the people who live here, if you wanted to divide it even more deeply along racial lines into groups that really hate each other on the basis of how they look, you would give a speech, a disgusting speech like the one that joe biden gave yesterday in tulsa, oklahoma. during his speech, biden declared that the most lethal threat in the united states is not the cyber attacks, for example, shutting down our supplies of essentials like gasoline and meet. it's not terrorism. it's not gang warfare. no, it's people who don't agree with joe biden. he calls them white supremacists. they go according to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. not isis, not al qaeda, white supremacists. >> tucker: so this is the quote. "most lethal threat to the homeland, more dangerous than al qaeda."

the weird thing is he did not find it. what is a what the premises? we don't know. they are the most lethal threat. corporate americans try to the board of that group has representatives from heavy hitters. according to that group, the minority corporate counsel, what's a promising means "having a can-do attitude and a tendency to rugged individualism." so that's the threat that joe biden's dhs and the fbi, the intel committee, the u.s. military, they are all warning about. according to the global terrorism database managed by the university of maryland, we are always about getting the numbers, a total of 64 people in this country were killed between the years of 2015 and 2019 due to those rugged individuals white supremacists and/or nationalists paired" once the numbers aren't real actually. dig a little deeper and they

don't stand up to scrutiny. in fact, that total 64 consul park on school shooting as a white supremacist attack. as far as we know, it was not. even if you take that number at face value, if you assume it's accurate, that would mean there are a total of 16 white supremacist nationalist killings on your per average. for comparison, 774 people were murdered in the city of chicago alone just last year. very few of the perpetrators were white nationalists. we can tell you. those trends hold up nationally. in 2019, there were 11,000 arrests nationwide for murder. young black men made up a majority of those arrests, despite being about 6% overall population. so there is no credible way to argue that white supremacy is the most lethal threat that we face. that's not an argument. it's its own form of racial attack. but joe biden kept claiming white supremacy, he told us is all around us.

>> millions of white americans belong to the clan and they weren't even embarrassed by it. they were proud of it. and that hate became embedded systematically and systemically in our laws and our culture. we do ourselves no favors by pretending none of this ever happened or it doesn't impact us today. because it doesn't still impact us today. >> tucker: the clan defines modern america? that's a disgusting live here but more importantly, why are you doing this to us? you are the president of the united states. by us, we need the whole country. why are you dividing us like this? since the last thing we need right now. and yet, there was joe biden telling us that white supremacy, the legacy of the clan is so bad that african-americans right now in 2021 can't vote. >> it's not just an echo of a distant history.

in 2020, we faced a tireless assault on the right to vote. restrictive laws, lawsuits, threats of intimidation, voter purges, and more. >> tucker: maybe we are too literal. maybe we are too western. maybe that's its own form of flights of privacy. but we have to go back to the numbers because we don't know how else to respond. here's what they are. the number of african-americans eligible to vote for president reached an all-time record high last year of 30 million. so that's another lie. but the question is why are you telling the same kind of lie again and again when the only outcome is to make people born in this country hate each other irreparably? why are you doing that? cooper is the coach of project 21. he may have the answer. it's great to see you tonight. why are they doing this? it's really, it's overheating the country and it's making it very hard to continue in a happy way. what is the point of this? >> you know, this is really, really sad what the president is

doing. this is perhaps one of the worst race hoaxes since the justice malay charge. when the president of the united states stands up and lies to the american people about the american people. he says that we are so racist and that in particular, if you look around your community, you need to keep your eye out for one particular type of individual. white men, white nationalists, white racists. there is no evidence of any of this. there is no evidence that this problem exists in the workplace. there is no evidence that this problem is happening at our jails. there is no evidence in any place. and in fact, i ask right now for the president of the united states to declassify

whatever intelligence that he is reporting to rely upon in making this claim. it is a flat falsehood. >> tucker: well, if that is ever declassified, i think you will find yourself on the white supremacist list. i mean, i think that's kind of the point. i mean, you laugh. but they are others who have been denounced as whites of premises. if you haven't been, you will be. it is purely political. why doesn't anyone ever say that? >> we are having a circumstance where we are told that what we see, we must deny, and then only listen to the lie. record numbers of black americans participated in the elections in 2020, also in 2018. record numbers of black americans gained job opportunities. record lows in terms of the

number of people complaining about hate crime or actually filing charges. you know what the spike in hate crimes are? anti-semitism. and now anti-asian and disproportionately the 6% of the population is identified as the blame. black men. where is the white male, white nationalists, white racist threat? >> tucker: yeah. i think it's people who don't vote democrat are the ones who are about to be hounded by dhs and the fbi. that is a concern. boris cooper, i appreciate your coming on tonight. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: its work from time to time. we have dominion over them. it doesn't mean that we should mistreat them. a federal program to protect horses is hurting horses. we will tell you where those horses are going, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: two years ago, the bureau of land management, the other blm set up an incentive program to encourage people to adopt mustangs in burrows and give them a good home. it was expected. thousands of people signed up for it. now we are learning that many of those horses wound up in slaughter houses and many more are on their way there. how did that happen? carol walker is a horse photographer and an advocate for horses and we are happy to have her on tonight. carol, thanks so much for coming on. so program designed to save wild horses is instead sending them to the slaughterhouse. how does this happen? >> well, it's not really designed to save wild horses. it's a way for the bureau of land management to launder them. basically to get them out, get rid of them, and not be responsible for sending them to slaughter. at the time that they set this program up in 2019, i was horrified because i knew what was going to happen. what happens is people will take

the horses, they will get their money, and then there thousand dollars. and then they take them to auctions and get another $500 for them and the horses go to slaughter. it's very inhumane and it's a terrible solution. it's not a solution. what we need is for people to stop. we need the bureau of land management to stop rounding up wild horses to manage them on our federal public lands humanely and use birth control instead of rounding them up and removing them and stockpiling them. $70 million to blm spent last year where housing the wild horses. this is 70% of their budget. and they just got an extra $35 million in their budget for roundups and warehousing horses and they are planning to take over 90,000 horses over the next five years and stockpiled them.

instead of saying it would be much cheaper to manage the horses where they belong on our public lands and much more humane. these horses live in families. there are stallions, mayors, and youngsters, and sometimes the stallions and have been together for decades. to rip the families apart and stick them in holding facilities is the most insanely cruel things that can be done to these horses. right now there are -- go ahead. >> tucker: of all the things going on in this country that need fixing, is there some reason we need to bother the wild horses in the first place? we have vast reserves of federal land peered we have a lot of that. why are we hassling the wild horses? do we know? >> because the livestock industry has a huge amount of power and money. and they want all the horses gone. they want the horses removed

from public land. they don't want to share. even though right now we have livestock grazing on 105 billiod horses are only on 27 million acres, they want them all done. and so this is why this whole cycle has been set up. there are currently 1200 horses that were rounded up last year that the public has not been able to see or adopt even though we have been trying really hard. the excuse has been coping. if you want horses to find good homes, you would want to make them available to people. and i'm just horrified that this plan is a continuation of the same old same old thing that the bureau of land management is doing, which is rounding up and warehousing these horses. it's not right. it's not good for the horses. it's not good for the american

people who love wild horses. >> tucker: of course. >> i have spent hundreds of hours each year with them and it's tremendous. it's wonderful to be able to spend time with them. >> tucker: i believe you. i think it's okay to have wild horses on public land. it sound like a good thing to me. i appreciate your coming on. thank you. i think most people weren't even aware that was happening. >> thank you. >> tucker: one of the greatest tragedies in the lifetime of any living american is a opioid epidemic, which has killed more people than most of the wars we have fought in over the centuries. how did this happen? well, companies like mckinsey made it happen and certain specific companies made billions because it happened. no one has covered this more carefully than investigative reporter. he joins us next. ♪ ♪

>> so one of the sorriest parts of the story on the drug industry in general, but the story part in particular on opioids is the fda. and it's not that they are complicit in terms of sitting there and taking a bundle of money over the table and saying okay, we are going to do this. they just weren't very effective regulators. and that comes from approved oxycontin. in other words, purdue went to them and said we would like a couple of things on the label. we would like on the label that the odds of addiction are very rare because this is a time release formula. and we believe that the study show that there is something to that. the fda had no studies. there was no proof of that. purdue had done no eddies of that but the fda put that on the label. >> tucker: they had done no studies customer >> they had no long-term studies on whether it would mean less addiction down . there were like road bump. 2007, purdue had to plead guilty to felony misbranding, misrepresenting the drug as not addictive enough and too safe

and everything else. $600 million fine. $40 million paid by the top three executives. a week after that, i would have said to you it's over. that's it. doesn't matter if they have mckinsey or whoever else. they are not going to sell big numbers anymore. and boy, i have been wrong. because from 2008 come after they pled guilty, after this compliance agreement, after the department of justice is supposed to watch them, they have their biggest sales from 2008 on. they bring in mckenzie, the great firm to say okay, we need the big guys here. we need mckinsey and mckinsey tells them how to turbocharge sales in 2013 when sales are down $100 million. and every year, they are taking out $800 million, 900 million, billion. in 2015, then make the forbes wealthiest families. and forbes called them the oxley clan. it's the one what did mckinsey tell them? >> mckenzie told them, and this is fantastic. you need to increase the sales

representatives, the detailed team, those who are selling the drugs directly to doctors, convince them to do it, by 20%. make them make more visits. and don't have them waste their time on the low prescribing doctors. because that's not worth it. go just for the high prescribing. go to the ones who are -- >> tucker: i think a lot of people who first read about the story 20 years ago set themselves, well, that's really sad. people are dying of drug abuse. addicts are addicts. sympathy for an addict is limited because they are an addict. in my mind, it was changed when i read the numbers. the numbers of pills coming into appellation west virginia and parts of ohio were so high that it didn't seem to me that any honest and decent farming executives could read these in the monthly report.

sell and think that was okay. speaker you can't get away with it. they knew there were heavy concentrations. they never reported any of this to the fda. they never reported anything. they just put on their blinders and said let's pocket the money appear there's a lot of responsibility to go around on the opioid crisis. it's not just purdue. it's the fda. the middle distributors. it's doctors running pill mills. it's pharmacists who are willing to look the other way to fill up a prescription. so, they will take the brunt of the blame because they are the owners of this star drug that caused so much devastation. but there is plenty of blame to go around. >> tucker: that conversation went on for nearly an hour. again, it's one of the great tragedies, maybe the great tragedy of the age. striking how ignored it often is, but not on the show. anyway, that's the newest episode of "tucker carlson today." you can watch at any time. it's on fox nation. welcome as the schools go

going to intimidate me to back down and not really understand what's happening in our state, but they don't know me very well because i'm not going to be backing down. i'm going to make sure that we protect our kids in idaho from this theology. >> tucker: yet, it is theology. you can't keep idaho free of racism, then i guess all is lost. big companies have funded all of this. they traditionally have given to republican candidates. you are a republican candidate. have you heard from corporate donors on this question? are they onboard or no? >> i have not heard that yet. but we are just getting started. really, what we are trying to do is understand what this is. we had our first meeting last week. this is what i found the way the left operates. they use these nebulous terms so that we don't really understand what is it that they are talking about. is this american imperialism? is this critical theory?

social justice agenda, critical race theory? what this is, critical race theory is a religion of secularism and guilt with contempt to undermined our american values and implant them with fear and suspicion. whatever they want to attempt to label it as, we are going to get to the bottom of that and make sure that our laws are sure to protect and make sure that this doesn't happen in idaho. we are going to do whatever we need to do and be proactive here in the state of idaho to protect our kids and to protect all of us as americans to be what president trump did so well. and that is protect america, protect idaho first. we are looking forward, and like i said, i'm not going to be backing down. >> tucker: good for you. all of us are created equal by god. no one is responsible for the sins of his ancestors. those are american values.

anyone who is against them i think should be taken on. i'm glad that you are doing that. thank you very much. >> absolutely. thank you tucker. >> tucker: before we go, you can now watch full episodes of fox prime time. the show, sean, and laura on fox nation. they will be online in the morning after the air with new developments. we think it's a good one. we'll be back tomorrow. of course, 8:00 p.m. sean hannity right now. >> wait a minute, that's a good developing. nobody asked me. i demand a recount. we will last night good luck. >> sean: thanks, tucker. welcome to "hannity." all right, merrick's enemies, they are testing joe biden. as per usual, he asked you a very frail, weak, cognitively struggling commander in chief. it doesn't seem like he is up to this task. while sippy cup joe is enjoying a restful midweek getaway at his beach house in delaware, america's food costs are now soaring. why?
