thank you, appreciate it. we are out of time. thanks for watching "fox news primetime," i'm pete hegseth. i will be back here tomorrow night at 7:00 wearing a shirt or not wearing a shirt, i will consult with eric swalwell. up next, tucker carlson, he will probably be fully dressed, take care. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy monday. before we begin, this show has come into possession of a pretty shocking photograph of california congressman eric swalwell. you may have seen it on the internet. no it's not a picture of him having speech when it with chinese spies, we wouldn't show that you, it's too much. you will have to imagine what that looks like. the picture we have shows eric swalwell shirtless posing triumphantly in front of his servants of color.

talk about white supremacy. and the story gets weirder from there. in a few moments mark steyn joins us to assess with this picture means. but first, last march as the first big clusters of coronavirus cases started to appear in this country, media executives in silicon valley coordinated with officials in washington to determine how much the public would be allowed to know about the growing epidemic that was killing them. mark zuckerberg of facebook emailed tony fauci to assure him that facebook users would only see tony fauci's approved guidance on covid-19. twitter and google data effectively the same thing. twitter and google eliminated any post that deviated from washington's official line. in many cases, they censored information from frontline physicians that was both medically sound -- it was the science -- and potentially life-saving. if post about treatments, for example, were downplayed. they never apologized for this. they probably never will. historians will assess it.

an unprecedented assault on our most basic civil liberties that somehow very few people seem to notice when it first started happening. the usual stooges and think tank libertarians assured us that the time that none of this was a big deal. social national media monopolies censoring medical information? no problem! that's how the free market works! build your own google if you don't like it, start your own nih buried in any case in private you can still say what you want, you still free. it's not like this is north korea, so calm down, conspiracy not, you're starting to sound like alex jones. if most of us obeyed, we dutifully combed down and went back to netflix. we shouldn't have. today we learned the bike in the administration considers censorship applicable to private speech as well. what you say in private when you're alone with your phone you won't be able to say or read what you want because the dnc plans to control, and they

apparently have the ability to control, the flow of information that you receive on your phone. nothing that questions official regime policy will reach you. according to a report in politico, and believe it or not we are quoting directly, "biden allied groups including the democratic national committee are planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with sms characters to dispel misinformation about vaccines over social media and text message." we are going to say that again because it is a sentence we never thought we would see written in english. the dnc is planning to censor any "misinformation about vaccines" that you receive privately over text messages. of so what does misinformation mean? here's the thing you should know. misinformation is not the same as false information, as factually inaccurate information. misinformation can be factually true.

in fact very often is factually true and that's why they're angry about it. misinformation is instead anything the biden a administration does not want you to know. including, for example, how effective the covid vaccines actually are and what the potential side effects might be from taking them. let's say you're interested to find out that information and you looked it up in the biden a administration's own website. he start with the database which records vaccines. you know longer are allowed to text what you find on their databases to other people in this country, the country you were born in. your private conversations will be controlled by the dnc. is that the picture of a free country? it looks like we should have worried about civil liberties last year when all of this started. but it's a global health emergency, we have no choice. things will go back to normal when it ends. but will they go back to normal? if the government can ban discussion of the drug they are making you take, what can't they do? and by the way, it's worth wondering why are they doing

this now? why are they expanding censorship of conversation about the pandemic as the pandemic proceeds? the covid vaccines have been around for more than seven months, pretty much everyone who wants one has had one. you can get the shot very easily, they are free. according to the administration this vaccine works perfectly and that means that vaccinated people are protected from covid, they are bulletproof, they can't get sick. that's why they took the vaccine in the first place. so why is official washington so angry at the people who won't get vaccinated? how precisely do they pose a threat? it makes you think, what to think about it, that maybe none of this is about covid, maybe it's about social control. tony fauci all but admitted that just the other on television television, here's what he said. >> i know you've been very clear that the government isn't mandating vaccines, but do you think it's generally a good idea for businesses or schools to require vaccinations? >> i have been of this opinion,

and i remain of that opinion, but i do believe at the local level, jake, there should be more mandates. >> tucker: i have been of the opinion there should be more mandates, but actually they didn't tell us that. you are member hearing that when they first told us the vaccine -- they said we are not for mandates, actually. but now they are. these drugs will be mandatory. in many places they already are. if you want to get an education, for example, you've got to take one. many questions arise from this, deep questions about what it means to be a free country. even on a medical level questions arise. for example, do we know enough to make these drugs mandatory? just today, the washington reports reports, that the fda is preparing to announce in a warning and i believe has just announced tonight for the j&j coronavirus vaccine, johnson & johnson vaccine. they say it's been linked to a nerve disorder which can cause paralysis. aliens of people in this country alone have taken the johnson & johnson shot, but other vaccines could be implicated as well.

according to the database, again maintained by the biden administration, which tracks vaccine side effects, it has been reported as a potential symptom for every other covid vaccine too. that's not a small thing and if it sounds familiar, then you must be over 40 and have a decent memory. if you don't smoke a lot of weed. you may recall that in 1976 the federal government ended its mass vaccination program for influenza after several hundred people came down with gbs. people started asking questions and very quickly the ford administration determined the vaccine is not worth the risk. but that's not happening now. people are not asking those questions because they can't, they are not allowed to in public. this is one of the only platforms and all of american media that can operate outside of the controlled tech monopolies -- copies questions. it's not that we are against vaccines, we're certainly not, but because you have the right to know a lot before you take medicine. but tony fauci isn't stopping the vaccines in the u.s. instead he's accusing anyone who is questions about the vaccine of having some kind of sinister

political motivation. they must be qanon. >> you know, jake, it's an inexplicable pushing back on the part of some people about getting vaccinated. we've got to put aside this ideological difference or differences thinking that somebody is forcing you to do something. i really don't have a good expo nation, jake, about why this is happening. i mean, it's ideological rigidity i think. there's no reason not to get vaccinated. why are we having red states and places in the south that are very highly ideological in one way, not wanting to get vaccination? >> tucker: [laughs] so fauci on the one hand says this should be mandatory. i want more mandates. and then moments later says for some reason people think where forcing this on them and that's "inextricable," they must be right-wingers. you would say wait a second, didn't you just say it should be

mandated? maybe that's why they think it's mandated, because you just said it was buried fauci's claim that the resistance to the vaccine is somehow political is a bad faith attack opposing science, it's untrue. in fact it has been the democratic party very much anthony fauci's party that engaged in partisan discussion about the vaccine from the very first day. it wasn't even a year ago, september 2020 that kamala harris or self announced the coronavirus vaccine might be dangerous. why? because donald trump oversized of element and is, kamala harris said, "is going to be an issue for all of us." really? no longer an issue because kamala harris is now in charge. now that she's in charge, anyone that asks any questions at all, totally nonpartisan questions, must be awaits of premises. here's dick durbin of illinois doing his best today to divide the country further along partisan lines, because that helps him. and tar anyone who wants more information about a specific

drug as a lunatic was against all vaccines. watch. >> there are two host of programs on fox prime time that can only be characterized as anti-vax quacks. i'm referring of course to tucker carlson and laura ingraham him. they have been spreading what i consider to be irresponsible information about vaccines and about the effort in this nation to deal with them. >> tucker: spreading irresponsible information. notice what he didn't say. durbin did not accuse us of spreading false information, he did not accuse us of being factually wrong. we haven't been, nor are we against vaccines of course. very few americans are against vaccines. virtually every and american have had a ton of vaccines and were expecting to take this one but when you refuse to answer basic questions about the vaccine, and when you dodge them with partisan talking points like that, you make people nervous. americans have a right to have

basic questions answered before they submit to taking a medicine, that is their right. but durbin and hacks like fauci persist that anyone who has questions is somehow a right wing ideologue is alive. these are from the government's own accounting. it turns out that its african-americans, the democratic party's most most faithful voters, who are still the most hesitant to getting vaccinated. according to the cdc, period of december 14th to december 2022 july 12th of this year brings us a total of 26% of african-americans who have gotten one dose of covid, only 23.7% -- the lowest for any racial or ethnic group tracks by the sea deceived by a significant margin. we don't judge anybody for taking or refusing to take the vaccine. medical choices are by definition personal choices. they are not choices that politicians get to make for you, and you should never be forced to take a medicine you don't

want, period. that used to be a common observation. in fact many of the people like dick durbin who are attacking anyone who has questions as partisan or racist are the very same people who told us for decades they were very upset about [indiscernible] experiments. they have the right to be upset about those. now they tell us anyone who resists mandatory vaccination is awaits of premises. this is the talking point of the moment. you know that because it was just on msnbc from their in-house doctor. watch. >> i don't have any tolerance for the anti-vaxer movement. and i don't have any tolerance for politicians who befriend, who cozy up to, or become allies of that movement. i actually see that as another example of the proliferation of whites of premises, because in particular, they are targeting communities of color and they are targeting the historical injustices, the atrocities that community of color have

experienced as a way to play on their vulnerability. >> tucker: imagine someone who would say something so provably untrue, factually untrue, so irresponsible, and so divisive, having a medical license in this country. that person does, there is something very wrong with our system. she's claiming that african-americans aren't taking the vaccine because what's premises have asked questions about the vaccine. that's lunacy of course. a reporter at cnn recently spoke to someone who had another excellent nation for it. it turns out that there are people out there, maybe because of doctors like the ones you just saw, who no longer believe the medical experts on cable news anymore. watch. because do you plan to get vaccinated? >> no. >> 21 harold says she's giving the vaccine a lot of thought. >> don't take it as -- when people don't want to take the vaccine is being rebellious. listen to understand and be compassionate and sympathize of

the history of black people -- black and brown people and the medical industry. >> the atlanta native is skeptical of the vaccine thanks in large part due to the legacy of the unethical test could be study in which black men with syphilis were deliberately not treated. >> the more that it is pushed for me to go get vaccinated, it makes me not want it even more. >> tucker: yeah. well, that makes sense. the more that it is pushed to get vaccinated, the more it makes me want to get it not even more. that makes sense. if the vaccine was so great wouldn't it sell itself? there would be no reason to force people to take it. but people are being forced. it's interesting, the very people were trying forces have the same people who lectured us about my vardy my choice. the layers of irony here are almost inexhaustible. lena when just went on television to explain how to

force millions of americans to take the drug. it's easy, she said, make their lives as miserable as possible until they comply. >> innings to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated. right now it's kind of the opposite. it's fine, if you're unvaccinated you can to everything you want to do anyway but at some point these mandates by workplaces, bicycles, i think it will be important to say hey, you can opt out but if you want to opt out you have to sign these forms, you have to get twice-weekly testing. basically we need to make getting vaccinated the easy choice. that's what it's going to actually take for us to end a pandemic. >> tucker: you wonder the damage that this is doing to the credibility of the medical establishment. most americans grew up believing in science, believing their doctors. they had every reason to, we led the world in science, our health care was the best in the world. expensive, granted, but the outcomes were remarkable compared to any place on the planet. that was a system like all systems that work on trust. you trusted with the medical authorities said but when they

start talking like that, when they start making statements that have no logic, no clear medical justification, they are transparent and apolitical. in that case clearly illegal. it when they start talking about punishing americans who don't want to do there will, follow instructions they refused to explain, policies that they will not account for using data and instead throw talking points that you and bumper stickers and then attacking you as immoral. who's going to believe them ever again? the damage they are doing to our system is profound. and you think may be on the other side would stand up for americans. the republican party, anyone? some are, most aren't. asa hutchinson hooper tends to be governor of arkansas are joining in, adam kinzinger, republican commerce men from the state of illinois just demanded that every american take the vaccine. he set it on national television.

take a look at this. >> this is outrage politics being played by my party and it's going to get americans killed. our party has been hijacked, my party has been hijacked. it is on its way to the ground and for some people it's a fun ride, right? we can put out this outrageous stuff on twitter, i'm getting all these retweets and everybody knows me, i'm famous, but this plane is going to crash into the ground. i call on leader mccarthy, i call on every leader in the republican party to stand up, say "get vaccinated" and to callout these garbage politicians, these absolute clown politicians playing on your vaccine fears for their own selfish gain. >> tucker: adam kinzinger, in his defense, has a low iq and can't be held responsible for most of the things he says, but neither he nor anyone else was making that case has answered a very subquestion. why should people who have recovered from covid-19, who are immune to the virus -- why should they be forced to get the vaccine? what's the answer?

what is the harm rate from the vaccine? why can't we ask? what's the answer? when you attack people rather than answer their questions, they don't trust you anymore and they don't trust the drugs that you they say you must take and that's a shame. we are not attacking the vaccine, never have. we don't judge anyone who takes it and we never will. we judge people like that. and by the way, where are they? where those republicans when they learn that the by demonstration can police your text messages, that the dnc is in charge of what you text to other americans? is almost no resistance to it in washington and that means it's likely to get worse. and for people who are working in the united states military, who must obey, it's going to get much worse. the military clearly is going to expel anybody who doesn't get the shot. the department of the army had court has just announced an executive order to make the vaccine mandatory by september 1st and that's the first time the army has forced soldiers to take a vaccine since the anthrax vaccine. that decision killed and injured

several soldiers. one naval officer explained online how he's being coerced. here's what he wrote. "i'm a naval officer who spent the last 15 years in active duty. i'm not potentially facing forcible discharge if i won't submit to taking a covid vaccine. i've spoken to two command chaplains regarding a religious exemption. i'm a christian. and i'm told that exemptions won't likely be granted, so my choices are vaccination and forcible discharge." keep in mind, there's no scientific basis for any of this. in this thread the naval officer lays out the data to prove how unnecessary this is. the numbers are straight from the department of defense website. "202,567 active duty service members have had covid, of whom 26 have died. that's better than a 99.987% survival rate." those of the numbers.

no one is disputing it. not adam kinzinger or dick durbin. no one disputes the numbers, so what's the answer? there is no answer. this is being used, it's very clear, the government's purging the military, spying on its own citizens because of a virus that isn't killing very many people anymore. keep in mind, vaccination isn't like voting. they don't trust you to do it yourself at home and mail the results, their keeping track. just how east german is this country becoming? the fbi just announced in a tweet that it's good encouraging americans to switch some accidents. of the federal government, the by demonstration, is encouraging their families to snitch on each other. does extremism apply to people who have questions about the vaccine? of course it does! in march, the fbi put out an official bulletin announcing they would be cracking down on fake vaccine cards. since then, undercover agents have been arrested for -- bearing an official government logo. a sting operation that

[indiscernible] in the small town of clemens california for example. what's interesting is the fbi hasn't put out any bulletins on illegal immigrants using fake drivers licenses or fake social security cards lately. that's endemic, they haven't shut down any businesses or harassed any california bar owners for hiring noncitizens at a time of mass unemployment. why haven't they done that? you know the answer. because the people running government have one standard for enforcing the law for people who agree with them, and quite a different standard for those who don't agree with them. that is third world. those same people just gave themselves the power to read and censor your text messages. we've got to resist this. you can't let this continue or else are going to wake up in a very different place than the place you were born. clay travis is the host of the clay travis and buck sexton show, the founder of out kick. we are happy to have them join us tonight. did you ever think you would read an announcement in politico

that by the way, the dnc is going to decide what you can receive by text message? >> first of all, tucker, that was a maestro performance of an opening, i must say. secondly, thanks for having me on, and to me, there's so much that we could dive into about your open, but your question is so prescient and it's important. it looked, effectively what had happened, and i think most americans haven't realized it, but it's why donald trump's lawsuit against big tech is so important. what we have a lot to happen is china has the great wall of china where they can decide what information their citizens see. we are not doing that directly by our government, but they are using big tech companies, facebook, of the world, twitter of the world to deputize them effectively and say we will tell you what information should be allowed to be shared on your network. directly what happened in the anthony fauci and mark zuckerberg email and if you

do that, we will give you basically most favored nation status or if you watch a lot of these hearings, they threatened that if they don't clean up their behavior and take democratic focused ideals and give them prominence on the platform, then there will be consequences. this is a default state action that is directly underpinning an assault on the first amendment and i don't think most people are noticing it. and let me give you an example of something. at out kick, the website that i rent that fox has recently bought, several months ago we had a story directly linking to the cdc that was shut down and labeled as disinformation by facebook. who checks the fact-checkers? that's the big question. >> tucker: that's right. misinformation is not the same as false information, it's just information they don't like. as you follow the hard way. clay travis who has taken over for along with buck sexton taken over for rush limbaugh.

where a mall is engulfed in flames and rioters are dominating the police presence there. you can also see looters going down the road with boxes filled with goods piled up on trucks, dollies, carts, even a tractor. police are firing what appear to be rubber bullets at the larger groups and get this, witnesses say even armed south african citizens were firing on people in the street, though it's unclear how many, if any of them, were hit. and watch and listen to what's happening. >> and remember the context here. this is supposed to be a protest about south africa's former president being imprisoned for contempt of court and get the crowds of people are using it as an opportunity to steal everything from furniture to electrical appliances and now

look at south africa's most popular -- populace province, where there is establish footage of rioters and looters running inside of shopping center carrying bags and other items and again people are pointing weapons at the looters, but it's a total mismatch. and just like we saw in america, south africa's small business owners and the poor are bearing the brunt of this because their businesses have been destroyed and critical public services like electricity and water have been disrupted. so far we have confirmed ten people have been killed in the chaos. that number will almost certainly rise. talker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks so much. much more on what's happening in south africa tomorrow and possibly the day after, assuming it continues. the links between this country and south africa are deep and profound, particularly politically, our ruling class did a lot to empower the current government of south africa and there may be lessons for the

world and what's happening there. one is one chaos strikes, you're on your own. our new documentary series, tucker carlson originals, the new episode takes a look at how americans have survived periods of anarchy. it's fascinating, a fascinating piece of film, you can watch it on foxnation.com right now. we've been wondering for a while how voter identification is racist. all the polls show that americans of all colors think you ought to be required to show i.d., prove you are you, when you vote. if molly harris said many times it's racist and on friday she actually spelled out how it is. watch. >> is agreeing to voter i.d. one of those compromises? >> i don't think we should underestimate what that could mean. because in some people's minds, you're going to have to xerox or

photocopy your i.d. to send it into prove that you are who you are. there are a lot of people, especially people who live in rural community, there's no kinko's, there's no officemax near them. people have to understand when we are talking about voter i.d. laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be required of them to prove who they are. of course people have to prove who they are. but not in a way that makes it a most impossible for them to prove who they are. >> tucker: [laughs] in rural areas, to which i've never been, they can't get to kinko's. is there any kinko's anywhere? does kinko's even exist? tammy bruce keeps track of america's retail landscape, the host of another show you should watch on fox nation, and we are happy to have her join us tonight. so let's say you live in a rural area from a place that kamala harris has never been, how hard is it to get to a kinko's right now would you say? >> i'll tell you. kamala may know this best

because she can't find her job. right? she has no idea where that is. she doesn't know what it entails, she doesn't know what to do with it. she can't do diplomacy, she doesn't know how to answer questions. so it's kamala harris who doesn't understand where things are. the fact is, of course, we can joke about harris that she doesn't clearly know america at all. i would argue rural america can of course -- they are running businesses, they run farms, they feed the world. just like in urban areas there may be some economic problems, people of all different colors, but the question here is i'm a besides the insult of it, is why are the democrats so desperate to make cheating easier? this is what's amazing. and the monmouth pole, you mentioned the polling last month. 68% -- 62% of democrats want voter i.d., 87% of independents and 91% of the g.o.p. no one wants what they are saying and yet they are so

desperate now -- they are saying you can't do it -- rural people -- trump voters were told they are vaccine resistors, they invaded -- insurrection in january, so their comp looking to people but they've done all of this without an officemax. i don't know how they could be capable of doing all of that, but i think that this is a sign of the democrats now grasping at straws to try to keep people from being able to know their vote is safe. it's a problem. >> tucker: yeah, if you're not for voter i.d., we can assume sinister intent. >> absolutely. >> tucker: tammy bruce, great to see you tonight, thank you. we haven't done many segment on voter fraud since january. there were some very irresponsible claims going around that couldn't be proven because they weren't true, but there are also some claims that may be true and it's worth knowing. if you care about democracy, you can't tolerate fraud, so was there voter fraud in november?
