suspecting it might be debris from outer space, dutifully brought the pieces to a nearby military base. the next day, they issued a press release confirming the material was from a flying disk, a flying saucer. news agencies around the world announced the shocking find. then within hours, the u.s. military changed its assessment of what these pieces were. announce that the debris from outside was nothing more than a weather balloon, not a big deal, nothing extraterrestrial. it was he telling the truth about that? looks like he may have been, it may have been a weather balloon but that was not the end of the story. the u.s. military has gathered evidence on a remarkable number of puzzling aerial phenomenon most of which were definitely not weather balloons. unexplained flying objects that buzzed over u.s. military bases, missile sites, ships, submarines underwater seem to defy any known human technology. the pentagon has said next to nothing about any of this in

public instead of consistently covering up these sightings. everything we've known has come from whistle-blowers. by the time this show launched nearly five years ago, it was clear there is definitely something very odd going on in the skies above us. ufos were not some crackpot theory cooked up on late night radio, they were absolutely real. the question was, what are they exactly? several have pushed the u.s. military to reveal all it knows about ufos and in every case they have failed to dislodge that information. then last year, senator marco rubio of florida inserted a demand for transparency into a federal appropriations bill. by the end of june 2021, the government was required to turn over its full assessment of

ufos in just a few hours ago, that report finally came out late on a friday. we've only seen the public version so far but here's what we can tell you. they seem sincerely baffled by what these things are. in today's report analyzed 144 separate sightings of ufos by the u.s. military but in only a single case for the government to explain what it was in that case a large deflating balloon. the rest remain a complete and total mystery. so the most sophisticated military and the world has no idea what these things are or even how they move from place to place. some of the aircraft remain stationary to maneuver abruptly and move at considerable speed without discernible means of propulsion. so we do know that no government and the rolled processes

anything like this, no technology like this exists that i know of, they are not russian and they are not chinese, so what are they? the report doesn't say the notes only the obvious. ufos clearly close for safety and flight issue and may pose a challenge to u.s. national security. for more on what that means, the most informed source we are aware of on this topic joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. >> always my pleasure. >> tucker: what do you take from this? what have we learned? >> this is a historic moment for us in our country and our military, our intelligence community, has, and informed congress that these things are real and that they are not ours and they seem to be performing at least some of them in remarkable ways and i'll tell you something else i find very

interesting, you mentioned it we only able to solve one in the first is when you look at this report very carefully, the reporting only began around the march 2019 time era when the navy established its reporting requirements and then later on in november of 2028 months ago at the air force so we have 144 reports really concentrating in just the last year and a half involving only military equities and the report further stipulates that a large majority of reporting goes unreported. why? the stigma and taboo which is something you and i are both familiar with involving this topic so one can surmise there's actually a lot more than just 144 incidents involving the navy and just last year and a half was the late 1940s. >> the report says what is obvious which is these are not

from a foreign military and maybe the lackadaisical approach on the part of the military looking into this suggest that too. we thought these were chinese, we would be on it and so we don't think they are chinese, what is the other explanation? >> that's a fantastic question because as we've said before, this is something that could involve outer space, interspace, or the space in between and that's why we've always said keep all options on the table. the more we learn about this remarkable universe we live in, the more we realize our current understanding of the construct of the cosmos is constantly changing and evolving with new information and new knowledge that we get. from this reports perspective if you notice the very first line in the report, this is a preliminary report which is indicative of the fact that

hopefully there will be other reports forthcoming on the report they stipulate that we need a lot more effort going into this, really needs to be a whole of government approach, not just military and intelligence community as we see here faa, nasa, we could even go into the academic and scientific communities like the national science foundation and establish something that looks something like a federal lab construct or we can really get the best and brightest to look at this incredible enigma we are now facing. >> tucker: yeah. it's a testament to how our leaders are that we haven't done that decades ago. but back to my previous question, is there in your view without speculating what these might be, take off the table we are pretty sure we are not. we can't be human, can they? the fees were human, which human woods would be doing this?

>> it's looking increasingly like this is not the case but the question is what is it? and people jump to speculation when in fact one of the hypothesis was this could be as natural as we are but we are just at a point where technologically we are advanced enough we can collect information on it and begin to try to figure out what it is. there's been another hypothesis of things from underwater and as outlandish as it may seem, there is some anecdotal evidence that supports all of these observations so what we want to do is try to get as much data on the table as we can before we start eliminating. >> tucker: of course. let me just rephrase it without getting into all the theories. i don't know, but i'm fixated on the ideas that given the data we now have it doesn't seem like these could be human. have you heard anybody offer up

a plausible explanation for how human beings could be responsible for the sightings? >> no, and i'll share more insight. when i had my private communications with former colleagues and some people that are still in washington, d.c., these being nonhuman vehicles but still intelligently controlled by something or someone is certainly not off the table. these are conversations that are absolutely occurring but as the report stipulates because of stigma and taboo, no one is having this conversation publicly yet. it's towards the end of the report they say that airmen still don't even want to have this conversation with colleagues because they fear retribution and that's part of the problem in having this conversation. >> tucker: this is becoming a country where no one can say

anything that's obvious and saying the obvious has a prerequisite for thinking and for advancement so i'm so glad that you do. you are one of the few. thank you for leading the way on this. >> always my privilege. thank you for having me. >> tucker: you might remember the out of the closet race hater who now somehow is running the doj's civil rights division because everything is irony. so what is she up to? today, the doj filed a lawsuit against a state of georgia. the reason? georgia passed a law to limit voter fraud and limiting voter fraud is needless to say, racist. >> in this case, our careful assessment of the facts and the law demonstrates that georgia's recent voting rights law violates section two of the voting rights act. her complaint challenges several provisions on the grounds that they were adopted with the intent to deny or abridge black

citizens equal access to the political process. >> tucker: there it is, the racism leash when they want you to obey. the attorney general joins us tonight. i appreciate your coming on, so how exactly is your attempt to say to limit voter fraud, which is real, racist? >> it's not, and thank you for having me. let's be clear, this isn't a lawsuit. this is a campaign fire. the department of justice is playing politics. they are not upholding the rule of law and this blatantly political lawsuit is legally, factually, and constitutionally wrong. anybody who looks at our with law can see it improve security and access, improves

transparency in georgia's law. >> tucker: so what is their claim exactly? as far as i know, african-americans in georgia and the rest of the country in almost any group, so great. but how is your law according to kristen clarke, the bigot running the civil rights division disproportionately affecting black voters? i honestly don't get the argument. >> you would have to ask the justice department that. this is the eighth lawsuit now that we've had. seven other lawsuits filed by others that make the same types of claims and i would just remind everybody we've beaten stacey abrams in court every time she has filed a legal action against us since 2018 and this is a blatantly political lawsuit and the attorney general

when he got into office that he would depoliticize the department and then he comes out with this, a blatantly political lawsuit that is not based on fact and i'll tell you, i think the american people should be very concerned that this justice department, and i will quote what governor brian kemp said, the weaponization of the department of justice should bother everybody. it has now been weaponized by a group of political activists who don't like what our state is done for tomorrow, could be anybody and that should bother anyone. republicans, democrats, liberals or conservatives, that's a problem. >> tucker: not just activists, but extremists and has this kind of joe biden going for him which is where he looks moderate and seems sensible and good guy them and then you listen to what he says and this guy is an extremist, he's a radical. attacking people on the base of their skin color is attorney general, since when is

that allowed? so can they force you to change the law in georgia or no? >> absolutely not, it's constitutional, it's legal. you look at what our bill does, it improve security and go back to 2018, democrats complained about long lines and voting machines, local boards not doing their jobs, they complained about the same thing in 2020. it simply addresses those concerns. improved access, improve security, improve transparency that helps everyone republicans and democrats alike because right now, there is a crisis of confidence in our electoral system but this bill simply addresses those and provides a stronger system for everybody in the state of georgia. to make that the only answer. thank you for coming on tonight. >> tucker: thanks for having me and go hawks. >> emily: for the first time in history, biological men are going to compete in this summer's olympic games has

women. how do you think they will do? two biological women have some thoughts on that who have seen opportunities for themselves disappear because of this trend and will join us after the break. ♪ ♪

not only has this happened to me about a year later, my daughter ran the first high school race against a biological male identifying as a female. >> it was my first ever high school track meet myen freshman year and ended up taking second in my race next of this biological male and i would've won my first ever high school track meet. >> tucker: a tenth grade track athlete, cynthia is a world masters track meet, thank you so much for coming on tonight, i appreciate it. thank you, should say you are from hawaii. tell us and go any order you'd like why you are doing this, you are publicly saying things that most people don't feel they can say in public but you are, why?r

>> we appreciate you giving us the time and the opportunity to use our voice because most mainstream media outlets are not telling the stories like ours, they are censoring our story and then coming out and saying that this is not really happening soe we are here to speak up and say that this is happening. i happen to me and to my daughter and this is a very dangerous issue. not only can it be physically dangerous for girls and some sports but it's dangerous to the whole concept of women's sports basically means the ends of women's sports if this keeps happening. >> tucker: is not the end of ifwomen. i think we are challenging the category itself like what is a woman? whatever you say it is, i guess. >> we know from science that even after hormone treatments and gender reassignment surgery, male bodied athletes still have

an advantage over female athletes but we don't need science to tell us and i feel for the girls i coach when they are psychologically distraught having to line up against a biological male in their race. i have compassion for all athletes includingin females tht are being displaced. >> tucker: i agree with you. so give us a sense of how profoundly advantages. >> it isn't a small thing. these changes start in the womb so contrary to belief that something that comes on in puberty, smaller hip structure, bone density, all of these stop happening and no magic wand can erase these things and that's why we must speak up. we are really thankful to the independent women's forum for telling our story and to you for sharing your story because true wchampions don't place value on

the opinions of others and we are speaking up to encourage others to speak up as well because we need fairness in women's sports. we need equal opportunity for women in sports and these advantages are raising those. >> tucker: you don't get fairness and equal opportunity without courage.se you don't get anything without courage, so you if you're in tenth grade and coming on a tv show to say something that's true, but unfashionable, which this is a mobile kind of do you get? >> i've received mostly support from my fellow athletes and teammates especially on my track team because girls like me havel had to race against these athletes. other mainstream media might try to shut us up or tell us to not share our message but i believe i'm standing up from what i believe in and i'm fighting for a fair playing field in women's sports. >> tucker: you'd think you'd be a hero, tenth grader who tells the truth. he would be someone the country would celebrate and at some

point, you may be. how do your teachers react? >> they've mostly been in favor with me because they understand as a young female athlete that i'm in a position where i can get so far with what i do, i can get scholarships and biological male athletes can be taken as a way for man from so many other girls and taking away so many opportunities in women's sports. that's right, and erasing women. >> i'm so heartened to hear that you haven't been attacked by your teachers because we tell girls you have aomu voice and yu should use it even if nbc news doesn't like it. so i'm grateful that you're doing this. i'm grateful to you for coming on tonight. thank you so much for your courage. in six months, the biden administration has completely politicize the leadership of the u.s. military.

>> tucker: according to the recent u.s. census, there are 60 million hispanics and like a lot of other americans, some have concerns about the coronavirus vaccine and have decided not to take it. not one specific reason for this, every person has its own individual reason, don't need it, don't want it, but joe biden sees all hispanics as a monolith, one group, the brazilian is the same as an argentine, all the same and he knows why hispanics aren't getting vaccinated.

you won't believe the reason. in why are people --ll doesn't matter whether you are from spain or bolivia, you are not getting vaccinated because you are here illegally and you're afraid of getting deported. watch this. >> it's hard as well to get 16 vaccinated as well. why? they are worried they will be vaccinated and deported. >> tucker: what? they were two things going on here.ri one, just because you're hispanic doesn't mean you are here illegally. by the way, the biden people wouldn't deport you if you were but most hispanics are just americans who happen to have finished sounding last names.

they are not illegal aliens. and they're not called latinx, whatever that is. virtually nobody who identifies as hispanic calls him or herself latinx. none. according to pew research, 76% have never even heard the term latinx before and only 3% use it. why? because it's essentially a slur. spanish is a gendered language that matches a very gendered culture. that's a very specific culture that is deeply offensive to white liberals like joe biden who invented the term latinx to take the gender out of it. it's an attack on a culture. it's not just patronizing, it's hostile and the people it's aimed at don't like it, so stop it..

the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff oversees the entire u.s. military, a big job come a lot of weapons, the fate of the nation resting on his shoulders and in the case of the joe biden administration and the same guy chairman of the joint chiefs is the man called mark milley. he is deeply concerned about something, not the state ofrs readiness among the troops, no, he's concerned about white rage. didn't explain what that is with that it's a huge problem. >> i do think it's important actually for those of us in uniform to be widely read and it's the university and it is important that we train and we understand and i want to understand white rage and i'mor white and i want to understand it. so what is it that causedrs thousands of people to assault this building and try to

overturn the constitution of the united states of america, what caused that?. i want to maintain an open mind here and i do want to analyze it. it's important that we understand that because they come from the american people so it's important that the leaders now and in the future do understand it. >> tucker: so let's be really clear. white rage is not a medical condition, not even a legitimate academic theory. it doesn't exist. white rage is a racial attack, it's an attack against people on the basis of their skin color so here you have the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in air congressional hearing leveling a race attack against american citizens. that is disgraceful, disqualifying, without precedent. when was the last time thatg happened? not only is it okay to complain about it, it ought to be mandatory.

we shouldn't have a chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who attacks americans based on their skin color. it's disgusting. he is not running from the united states senate from pennsylvania. thank you so much for coming on. so there is this feeling even among republicans that if thee chairman of the joint chiefs of staff comes out in a hearing that all of a sudden starts attacking people because of their skin color, you are just supposed to ignore it because he's a general and you're not. do you think you should ignore this? >> no. you are looking for a way to destroy the united states military from the inside outou without firing a shot, talko. about what he's talking about and implement critical race theory. that makes it harder to accomplish the mission and ultimately will cost lives on the battlefield. probably the most diverse unit, northerners next at southerners, black next to white, christians next to atheists, young versus old and democrats and republicans, right?

but we didn't focus on our many differences. there were no hyphenated americans with us in afghanistan and what we realized our secret weapon was was it wasn't the guns and equipment that we had,m it was a love and brotherhood that we have for one another that allows us to defeat the enemy at every single term. critical race theory undermines all of that. it's a disaster. when men and women raise the right hand to serve this country, they do so because they believe america is an exceptional nation with defending, critical race theory undermines that because it teaches people that america is a fundamentally bad, evil, systems need to be reinvented because at their core, they are racist. that is a national security threat and what truly bothers me is the chairman of joint chiefs of staff should be focused on an exit strategy in afghanistan and over half of my life and instead is reading and studying critical race theory.

how about we get an exit strategy in afghanistan and focus on bringing men and women home and taking care of them when they come home? because if the chairman does not recognize the threat, the caustic nature of critical race theory and the threat it posesis to our military, that i think you should consider resigning. >> tucker: i couldn't agree with you more and i love your point, people who are in a lot of ways different are united in omission as americans and when you pray those bonds, force people to focus on what divides them, you are less effective fighting force. since you put it that way, makes a lot of sense. >> critical race theory is a threat because it divides people into little groups andve

undermines trust in the battlefield and if there is no trust on the battlefield when they start cracking by your head, there is hesitation that leads to death on the battlefield, right? soldiers need to be able to look past their differences and that's part of the training. we should ban critical race theory. >> tucker: really quick looking from the outside income of the u.s. military seem is by far the least racist institution in american life and has been for many decades. right? that's the way it seems. >> it's absolutely true. we have been a color-blind culture in the united states military for almost 200 years. we've got a lot of things right, keep your politics and social experiments out of our military and let us focus on what we were always intended to do, protect the united states of america and

winning wars. >> tucker: sean parnell, sot nicely put. thanks for coming on tonight. the evidence of the revolution around us is everywhere erasing history, renaming the schools, tearing down statues. what is going on here? they're trying to build utopia. that's actually what it is. a fascinating conversation with a historian and a pretty deep thinker about that question, that's next. ♪ ♪ it starts with our free hearing assessment. plus innovative products that fit your needs and budget. with free service and adjustments for life.

will too much time have passed, will the destruction have been to complete or will it reemerge? >> tucker: so it used to be the united states for 100 years has been fundamentally a consumer society but also was undergirded by the founding documents. >> it wasn't a consumer society in the way that the cold war meant that there was basically a blank check for science and anyt amount of money on nuclear projects was given and so as a result, there is this massive technological advancement and the capability and also america emerged from world war ii as the industrial society with the least damage done in productive capacities which is why became a superpower and so that

consumerism on that scale had never been seen in the world before, but consumerism on the scale that became normal in that cold war period was unique in human history. >> tucker: still has any utopian project ever succeeded that you're aware of? >> this is the only one that still stands we will have to see. >> tucker: where do you think this is going? >> i do think that the case i was making that consumerism is the thing holding a lot of this together i think that if that fails, the fact that the current

government has in peace time the spending that they have is p actually unheard of and so i think on some level, they understand that economics is when you remove everything else, when you do not allow a society to have holding anything sacred, any moral values or traditions, then you have kind of gutted the whole basis of society, the framework for meaning in life and all you have is economics so economics can't be allowed to fail and so they will keep pumping money at this thing until for as long as i possibly can. in terms of what happens to the left, i don't really see any hope there.

>> tucker: texas has supposedly a republican governor, two republican senators and enough energy to be its own country forever, there's a lot of energy in texas.ke why don't they just make more electricity? that seems like an obvious answer. >> you're absolutely right, but here's the challenge over the last few years, we've added 34,000 and we have subtracted about 4,000 of reliable coal and natural gas and why is that? it's because the federal government very heavily subsidizes wind and solar. a modest subsidy for wind and that is supposed to now lapse i? 2022 in texas but because of these huge subsidies, they can afford to pay the agreed to take their power. that happens in one-third of the contracts which has a free market system and as a result,

investors don't want to build new natural gas plants in texas, you only see wind and solar being built in the more that happens as you see in california where it's mostly solar and not wind, the more you're going to need these and smart meters and a scary thing about the smart meters as if they could do real-time pricing and you want to call your house down to 78 degrees coming up to pay an arm and a leg for it. what we have here is self-righteous coastal elites imposing their version of systemic environmentalism on working-class americans. the elites of course can afford it. they can pay whatever they want to for their power and they like the cheap power because that's when the charge up their tesla'o so this is the future and i'm afraid they have recently experienced it. >> tucker: that's amazing, but not surprising. great to see you tonight, thank you so much. that's it for us tonight and for the week. new episode of tucker carlson today came out on fox nation earlier and you can watch it onn that web site. it's worth it.
