10:00 pm
including dr. ben carson. see you next tim ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy monday. last week, as you remember, a group of texas state legislatures decided to cast down their nets and follow their consciences. they left their native lands on a kind of pilgrimage to find democracy. by leaving, ironically, they ended democracy in their own state. in their absence, texas could no longer pass laws.
10:01 pm
but they believed it was worth it. they were serving a cause bigger than themselves. so they set out on the journey of a lifetime with just thee clothes on their backs. they took nothing apart from a private jet, iphones for selfies and regular social media updates, and a case of miller lite for sustenance. they forwent even their paperle obedience masks, the ones that federal laws require the rest of us to wear when we travel by air. not these people. they traveled light.t. they were like the vietcong marching 50 miles and sleeping in trees. they were only about their mission. finally after a grueling refueling stop at an fbo en route, they arrived in washington as conquering heroes. one of the pilgrims, an enthusiastic if not especially bright legislator called jean wu posted that fans were all but throwing themselves at them as they arrived at a national airport in d.c. virtue has its benefits. the group then even met with the president of the united states, kamala harris, who compared them to the civil rights marchers of old. there were no german shepherds or firing hoses or bridges to cross. there was a very similar vibe. you could smell the moral heroism.
10:02 pm
and then, strangely, you could not smell anything at all. a number of the pilgrims reported feeling sick and thenel losing their olfactory sense. uh-oh. as it turns out, at least five of them had come down with the dreaded coronavirus. kamala harris had clearly been exposed to that and she was whisked away to walter reed for an undisclosed but easily guessed reason. for our friend jean wu, this was all very embarrassing. he had intended to dazzle kamala harris, not infect her with a deadly pathogen. thankfully, jean wu has a philosophical streak. "let our mistake be the objectct lesson," he tweeted. all of us had been fully vaccinated since march. we got complacent because we felt safe. being vaccinated doesn't always stop you from spreading the virus. always mask up indoors.be he wrote the last sentence in all caps like a scientist. good to know. wait a second, this seems like news. it turns out, according to jean
10:03 pm
wu, that being vaccinated does not stop you from gettingns covid-19 or from spreading it to other people. did you know that? jean wu did not know that. just a week ago, on july 13thdi he said exactly the opposite of that. in fact, he explains that the pilgrims did not need masks as they traveled because they'd all been vaccinated and the vaccine works, dummy. it's science. but now jean wu is telling us it doesn't work and his friendswo have the virus to prove it. what is going on here? unfortunately, dr. wu was not able to join us tonight. he's still at the airport. so instead we have tape for you from the chief scientific advisor, a man called -- this tape is from today. jean wu and his friend should've watched this before they left texas. it makes you wonder how effective are these drugs anyways? watch. >> in terms of the number of people in hospitals who have been double vaccinated, we know it's now 60% of the people being admitted have been double vaccinated.
10:04 pm
and that's not surprising because the vaccines are not 100% effective. >> tucker: so fully 60% of patients admitted to british hospitals with severe or presumingly life-threateningen cases of covid -- because that's why go to hospital -- had been fully vaccinated. several hours after he said it he sent a tweet clarifying that he meant only 40% of patients admitted to u.k. hospitals had been fully vaccinated. he didn't provide evidence to substantiate anything he had said. but still, either number seemsn' like big news. the number may be small in total in aggregate, but the fact thatm anybody who's going to the hospital, particularly a big percentage of people going to the hospital, has already been vaccinated is the opposite of what they've been telling us here in the united states. they have been telling us anyone who is fully vaccinated is finee the only people getting dangerously sick or dying from covid are those people whoin refused to get the vaccine.
10:05 pm
joe biden said that once againco just the other day.ho >> look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. and they are killing people. >> tucker: they are killing people!mo this show is killing people for asking naughty questions. we've heard that a lot including from elected officials. the only people getting sick are the ones who refused for political reasons to get theon vaccine. how many times have you heardef that in the past month as they continue to politicize medicine to an almost irrecoverable point? our cdc director has joined in. she said the same thing. if you are vaccinated, you're safe. and not simply from infection you are protected from serious illness, hospitalization, even a lurking menace of the delta variant. >> this is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that
10:06 pm
have low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk. and communities that are fully vaccinated are generally faring well. the good news is that if you are fully vaccinated, you're protected against severe covid hospitalization and death, and are even protected against the known variants including the delta variant circulating in this country. if you are not vaccinated, you remain at risk. and our biggest concern is that we are going to continue to see preventable cases hospitalizations, and sadly death among the vaccine unvaccinated. >> tucker: we are not saying there are not benefits. there may be profound benefits. our mind has been open and has been. we never encourage anyone to take or not take it. obviously we are not doctors. but we know lying when we see it and you just saw it. to say again in unison that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is simply untrue.
10:07 pm
that is a lie. there is a massive discrepancy between that political talking point which is exactly what it is. thank you, rochelle. thank you, president biden. and with the data in a bunch of different countries are showing. someone needs to explain that. tell us the truth. people can handle it. and what is going on with the government's own database? the vaccine database that you are required to ignore, that the biden administration maintains anyway. what are the real numbers? who knows? no one will say. as of tonight, the database reports that more than 1,000 cases of heart inflammation ofat people 30 and under taking the vaccine. is that a big deal? is it not? should we worry about that? we don't know. as of this week, the cdc and fda confirmed more than 600 reports of heart inflammation and swelling. and the number is almost certain to rise. what is the context for those numbers? is it a full count? is it an undercount?
10:08 pm
why isn't anyone trying to find out and why aren't they telling us? how come no one in the federal government is workingg transparently to complete a fuli assessment of all vaccine side effects and then tell the public what they are? is there some reason people are being compelled to take the vaccine and millions are being compelled to take the vaccinell shouldn't know that? oh, shut up, say the dummies on tv.e the only people are -- who are getting covid or -- >> just last week, new infections went up 70%. and according to the cdc -- excuse me, the nih, which oversees the cdc, it is absolutely 95, 99.5% of those infections are people who have not gotten vaccinated. i mean, come on. anybody who disputes that is putting people's lives at risk and potentially killing them. >> tucker: [laughs] it's hard to take medical advice from that person.
10:09 pm
but there are a lot of people giving you medical advice on television and you should ignorm them. the advice they are giving you isn't designed to help, it's designed to make you comply. and you shouldn't comply mindlessly. you are an american adult. you are allowed to ask simple questions and then demand clear answers. that's why we live here. that's your birthright. for example, schools across the children to take the vaccine ase a condition of their education. so is that a good idea? is it rooted in science? we should know the answer. why wouldn't we? but before we could answer that we should know how many youngou people are dying from covid. let's go to the cdc website. according to centers for disease control and prevention, a total of 335 americans under the age of 18 have died from coronaviruo in this country. that's the number. but what does the number mean exactly? that cdc did not provide any specific information on the
10:10 pm
circumstances of those deaths. and the circumstances can be all important.um so researchers at john hopkins looked closely at those numbers and what they actually meant and here's what they found. "a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition, such as leukemia." oh, leukemia is a very serious underlying medical condition. so does that mean that no one under 18 without a serious underlying medical condition died from covid? it seems that way.de so then it isn't a matter of science -- including millions without pre-existing conditions to get vaccines and wear a mask all day? what about adults who already have had covid? there are millions of those. the john hopkins researchers found that the cdc is barely doing anything to answer that question. the cdc's reports on natural immunity and what that means and
10:11 pm
what the people who have it should get the vaccine or t benefit or need it, they noted that that's guidance was outdated. outdated? a year and a half into this pandemic? these are relevant and vital questions. they are hardly denial of anything. they are the opposite. they are a search for truth. an open-minded one, a relentless one, and it will not be shamed into silence. that is what science is. and we should not allow ourselves to be bullied by political forces into ignoring obvious questions. we like to speak to responsible people who know something and we are joined by one of them right now. doctor, thank you so much for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> my understanding is that the vaccine does have benefits. it seems -- they seem to lower the effects of the disease, make it less severe on people. less likely to go the hospital. thats makes sense.
10:12 pm
my objection is to the political nature of the talking points we are hearing that the only people getting covid or being hospitalized for it haven't been vaccinated and those are somehow right-wingers or specificho segments of the population. that's not true, clearly. why are they saying that? >> i don't know.io it continues a trend of politicalization of the disease and the response that is really unfortunate. i think just to highlight whatll they ought to be saying, the vaccine in some ways -- in many ways -- the rollout in the united states in the u.k. has been an overwhelming success. we have decoupled cases because -- it does protect against severe disease, especially among the old who faced a very high risk of death and hospitalization. this protects against that quite effectively. not 100%, but quite effectively.ns the cases are rising in the
10:13 pm
u.k., yet the deaths have not risen. they have solved covid in some cases where they now have protection. they should be cheering success to the sky. instead we have this demonization and blame and politicalization which has characterized much of the public health response to the epidemic and its unfortunate. >> tucker: so the prime minister, don't want pile on him, though he does some to be failing at his job unfortunately, but he is essentially putting the country into a new series of lockdowns. you are hearing politicians here suggest that we may get another round of those in this country. why at this moment would we do that? >> it makes no sense. the lockdowns didn't succeed in controlling the virus the last time. we have a variant, the delta variant, which is more infectious according to reports which is still uncertain. but probably likely less deadly than the other variants that we have had. it didn't work then, why it now? today was freedom day in the
10:14 pm
u.k., should have been a day of celebration, and yet we have this sort of specter of another lockdown pulled over in front of us. i think it's a mistake. we should be declaring a great success with the vaccine rollout, with covid. we have decoupled cases from deaths. we have achieved protection. >> tucker: it's hard for political actors to declare victory if it means relinquishing power. appreciate you coming on tonight. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the top people in the biden administration's justice department made a big announcement. they said they have finally figured out the root cause of violence in our cities. it's not what you think it is. actually, it's probably you. we will tell you how you're implicated, next. ♪ ♪

10:20 pm
a dad at home, that has no effect at all. no, intercity violence is caused by "white supremacist ideology and racism." oh, right. republicans.by the confederates, they did it! we know this because an internal biden administration training document obtained tells us so. candace owens joins us. thanks so much to see you tonight.ks i started to laugh. it's just, they have all ready told us the republicans are responsible for defunding the police. i think the republicans are responsible -- how are they responsible exactly for gang murders in chicago? it's like a remarkable sleight-of-hand blaming republicans for that. >> right. the city that been democratic for so long. can't remember the last time there is a republican mayor or anybody republican that was controlling chicago.
10:21 pm
and listen, it is so painfully dishonest. you wonder why are they saying this? we know that black on black violence is a huge issue. something near 95% of black homicides are committed by other black people. these are things we should be talking about and trying to get to the bottom of that. is that to due with poverty? anything to do with white supremacy? i don't think when a black gang member kills another black gang member they turn up and said we have to do this because of white supremacy.n that's definitely not what is driving that. the more interesting question to ask is why is the biden administration doing this? why are they being so painfullys and obviously dishonest? the larger topic here that we should be discussing that's what they are committed to is trying to identify ideologues. i'm talking about in the cia in the military, the department of justice. what they're tryingg to do is purge all of these the common sense thinkers and replacing them with people that are committed to their ideologies. nobody cares about what is right or wrong anymore. it's all about fighting for
10:22 pm
leftists, fighting for the biden administration and doing whatever they say. following their marching orders no matter what. trans people in the military and that's what they want. they want ideologues and nonrational thinkers. this is all part of a larger purge and this is what comes before a totalitarian regime takes power. and i say that seriously. it's time now to take a good look at totalitarian regimes of the past, of communization of today and of the past. because we are following a very dangerous pattern right now. the biden regime as i like to call them is following a very dangerous pattern.y >> tucker: i wish i could disagree with you. and i have to say, the purpose of government is to help people -- supposedly. if you wanted to help people who were dying in our cities, you wouldn't provide a transparently ludicrous ideological explanation. they don't seem to be interested at all in fixing it.
10:23 pm
>> that's exactly right because they don't want to tell people the truth. that's a truth that would hit home about how we need to get these families together for they are not interested in the truth. they are interested in power. in order to maintain power, the masses cannot know the truth. >> tucker: man, that's smart., candace owens. i appreciate it. great to see you tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: there is a lot going wrong this country butav there are some bright spots. here is one. your smartphone is about to get a major update to make it more inclusive. how inclusive? our chief emoji correspondent joins us in studio next to deliver the great news. ♪ ♪ studio next to deliver the great news. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: prince harry is a living paradox. he is prince in name and yet he is also one of the most oppressed people in the world. now he is writing a book about it, about why he and his wife the duchess from l.a., have abandoned their duties of the royal family and moved to malibu. charlie langston is the female editor at dailymail.com, the website everyone on this show reads every day like a religion. charlie joins us now. thank you for coming on.
10:30 pm
>> thanks for having me. >> tucker: usually an oppression memoir is written by i don't know, civil rights leaders, people unjustly imprisoned for murder. very few princes write books about how oppressed they are, but he has. >> well, i think prince harry has broken a lot of boundaries as far as royal behavior is concerned. specifically when it comes to airing his grievances about his time in the royal family, and i think this book will be no different. >> tucker: it has to be pretty tough. can you describe what it is like to live in the kind of oppressed exile they live in on the westside of los angeles now? are they homeless? put some color in this picture if you would. >> they live in a $14 million mansion in montecito. there are extremely lavish gardens, they are surrounded by a host of celebrity neighbors like ellen degenerates oprah winfrey.le
10:31 pm
i wouldn't consider their situation right now as being in anyway oppressive. to use your word. >> tucker: wait a second, and pardon my ignorance, i am from this country. i don't follow this as closely as i probably should. i thought they were in venice or somewhere in los angeles. you said they were in montecitos which i think might be the least diverse place in the state of california, maybe the world. a but they are for diversity but they ran away from it? how does that work? >> i think what the two of them have tried to do since leaving the royal family is to kind of strike this balance between on the one hand saying that they don't want publicity, that they don't want publicity, that they don't want to deal with press, but on the other hand seeking almost this celebrity lifestyle. they are happy to do the tv interviews with oprah, happy to do the big ticket deals with netflix and spotify. and now they are happy to put a
10:32 pm
sign on the dotted line for a major book contract, but only when it's on their terms. >> tucker: when you couple the words oprah and interview, could you please use air quotes around interview, could you? do you think they will be as media shy when they try to promote the book? >> absolutely not.bo as we saw when megan released her debut children's novel, there was plenty of publicity released around that, around the release of it. but only to those members of the media that she is friendly with. and i think that with the release of harry's book will be dealt with in much the same way. but i certainly don't think that we will be short of tidbits and excerpts and so forth that they will release in order to make sure that sales of this book go through the roof.r >> tucker: you just said something troubling and i'm going to end on it. you described it as "debut children's novel," which suggests further children's novels are on the way and i want to say i'm sorry to hear that. i appreciate you coming on tonight. thank you.lsm

>> thank you for having me. >> tucker: we have some good news for you finally after -- your smartphone's about to get a major, and we think important update. a new emoji. a pregnant man emoji will have its debut in your text messages very soon. you can see the pregnant man now. looking more constipated than pregnant, but who are we to judge? chief mark steyn is in sense a doctor. he is on set for his assessment.is mark steyn, a pregnant man -- pregnant men don't exist inss nature but they now exist on your phone. >> i think that emoji is prince harry. he is about three months gone, as i understand. problems with morning sickness. as you see, it's his hair color. he shaved off the beard, but he kept the porn star mustache because megan told him she could get him a bit part in something
10:34 pm
filming in the san fernando valley. that is prince harry, the pregnant man. he is the first member of the royal family to be an emoji while pregnant. so i think that actually -- you were mocking his commitment to diversity. i think taking one for the team like that speaks very highly. >> tucker: it's so weird. you wake up one morning and everything seems fine and then you learn that ron jeremy is pregnant and has an english accent. >> exactly. it's all up for grabs. >> tucker: all definitely up for grabs. under what circumstances would you use this emoji in your personal text messages? because that's what i don't get because an emoji is supposed to be tears of joy. i don't understand in what way the pregnant man -- it's my 25th wedding anniversary. i hope you are going to come. how does the pregnant man emoji assist you with that?
10:35 pm
i don't understand the circumstance. >> tucker: maybe it's whenhe someone says something like completely ludicrous, you justke respond with a pregnant man. it's insane, here's a pregnant man. >> to make a semiserious point h i think emojis, which i don't personally use, but i think they are actually the h.g. wells thing when he sat in the time machine and he got in the time machine and went into the future and he found people's language had devolved to a few primitive catchphrases. i think the emoji is the stage that follows that and the pregnant man emoji is the stage that follows the original emojis because it has nothing to do with anything. except, i'm cool with the idea of the pregnant man. prince harry to be the pioneer but i'm in favor of pregnant men generally. if you were to have pregnant women, still one and two out there. but basically it's all going to
10:36 pm
be pregnant men and if you object to that, you're just an uptight square, you need to get with the program. that is the purpose. you're an uptight square and you need to get with the program. that is the main purpose of the pregnant man emoji. >> tucker: i'm going to send that emoji in every text i send every day until they ban me from texting. >> yeah. absolutely. and then it will become the most popular. i think it's also on a stamp in canada because it is a member of the royal family who is the first pregnant male. >> tucker: as you were talking, i am thinking i could listen to this for an hour.n and we are about to tape an hour on our fox nation series. >> a full hour on harry and megan. a >> tucker: great to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: telling the truth is harder than ever. you can be censored by the white house. how exactly did we get to this point?

10:43 pm
feel like saying, the very same democrats who yell at you if you mention this brag in public about the great replacement.t. they acknowledge it is real and they love it. here's the dwarfish dick durbin of illinois doing just that today on the senate floor. watch this. >> the demographics of america are now on the side of the republican party. the new voters in this country are moving away from them, away from donald trump. away from the party creed that they preach. and instead, they are moving to independence or even voting on the other side. >> tucker: so we want to have total control so we are changing who lives here. they are not embarrassed, they are bragging about it. but they are still hiding most of the details. no reason to spook the quickly shrinking number of people who were born here. last week we told you about a human smuggling operation that the biden white house has been running out of texas. the goal of the operation is to resettle illegal immigrants
10:44 pm
throughout the country, throughout the interior, without the knowledge or permission of the people who live in those places. otherwise known as the public, the voters. they can't know. we have a tip off that this was happening so we called both t pentagon and ice they were forced to confirm that it is happening. the question they could not answer is where are all these foreign nationals going? tonight we have some indication of that. s according to air traffic records, a 737 operated by a charter airline departed the air force base last wee. and headed to the former england air force base in alexandria louisiana. the people who live there now where did they go from there? where did they go? we don't have the answer to that. we also have obtained a video of the civilian plane using laughlin air force base. it was taken by a local man. so separately happening appeared we did not make it up. the question is what are republicans doing to stop it?re as it turns out, the republicans representatives in del rio
10:45 pm
texas, and the congress, tony gonzalez, is the very person who petitioned ice to use the air force base in the first place to move foreign citizens to the rest of the country. we know that because he put out a press release about on june 5th. he asked the acting assistant secretary of the air force for installations to use the runwayr at laughlin air force base to "fly migrants to their final destination rather than releasing them in the del rio area." and added this "by utilizing the air force base, ice could address the high number of migrants and alleviate the pressure this has inflicted on border communities.um so he doesn't want to deal with it. that's understandable. they don't want that. no one ever voted for this because nobody actually wants it. what is harder to understand iss what gonzales and a lot of other members of the republican party aren't trying to protect the rest of the united states and stop this mass outbreak of
10:46 pm
lawlessness, an outbreak that is about to get worse a lot soon. a senior administration official has confirmed that a new flood of illegal migrants from around the world is on the way. officials at the white house is about to suspend title 42. that's a regulation that has been used by the cdc to block migrants from entering thiss country on public health ground like during a pandemic, for example. turns out covid isn't a big deal when foreigners have it and bring into this country. it is fine and you are racist if you think otherwise.it so they are repealing the rule. once that happens, the administration expects an even bigger wave on her border. and then at some point in your neighborhood. do republicans know this? of course they do. do they carry? that's an open question. so dennis kucinich was the mayor of cleveland, ohio, more than 40 years ago. then he went on to represent the state of ohio in congress from 1997 to 2013.
10:47 pm
also at one point ran for president as a democrat. he was portrayed as a hard left as the media wrote him off as a crazy person. why did they do that? it's worth taking a closer look. probably because kucinich often mocked conventional wisdom, particularly on foreign policy and they hated him for it. what is interesting is that dennis kucinich is running oncet again not for congress, not for president, but for a job where you can make a real difference as mayor of cleveland. what is the main thing he is upset about? crime. a democrat who is worried about the murder rate. fascinating. so we wanted to talk to him about all he has learned in his 40 years since he ran cleveland and ask him how his party is doing now. we did that. a new conversation on "tucker carlson today" here's part of it.rs >> one of the things that is happening is people lose confidence in the government o
10:48 pm
because the government -- these are not the mistakes that america made, they are lies that people were told that took uss into certain -- i learned how to do that as the cleveland mayor that's what the book is about. standing up to a big lie that somebody created. you have to go to work, no we do not. and it's like if you recognize the truth, if you don't have your own hidden agenda and you really believe that there is such a thing as truth and honor, integrity, take a stand or get out. >> tucker: it's fascinating to me since i work in the media to see how the organism, the national news media, works to discredit views it does not agree with or that threatens its sponsors. and in your case, i never noticed anyone attacking you as a bad person.
10:49 pm
i never heard anybody say you are a bad person. instead it was dennis kucinich he is crazy. and i remember covering you in 2004 and i was like dennis kucinich -- and then i listen to you speak and i thought you didn't sound that crazy.- he doesn't sound crazy to me. was it frustrating -- and now of course i think you are right, i agree with what you said. but is it frustrating looking back on your presidential race in '04 to think that people were intentionally trying to prevent your message from reaching people's ears? they didn't want your words to be amplified. >> yeah, i have this kind of unnerving confidence to believe that i can win a rigged game. it comes from growing up in the streets of the city. and not being afraid of anything or anyone except god. and also it's backed up by some
10:50 pm
of my friends from english romantic literature to take shelley in "prometheus unbound." he writes of defying power which seems omnipotent. that this this is the way in which you are free. everyone of us must face a question about who are we and is there a moment in our lives where we really believe that we must take a stand because we see something that is fundamentally wrong. and when you do that, you cannot worry about what people are going to say about you. you must not be dissuaded by criticism. you have to have an ability to at least keep your eyess focused on kind of a polar star of truth and integrity and if people agree with you, fine. if they don't, fine.
10:51 pm
but it's not just who they are, it's about who you are.ho what are you made of? are you willing to take a standm and how willing are you? are you willing to risk the destruction of your entire career in order to stand on principle? and that book, "the division of light and power," that's what it's about. when i stood to save our elective system as a threat not to just to my personal life itself, you ask yourself what is worth it? it is always worth it to take a stand.d. you can never be in a position where you get on your knees in order to appease a mob or a constituency or whatever. >> tucker: dennis kucinich. unconventional man, didn't seem crazy at all. this tells you a lot. conversation went on for nearly an hour. he talked about his plan to save america's manufacturing.ti country has to make something by the way, a point a very few make now.w. the full episode is streaming on fox nation at this moment. worth watching. it's not every day that someone
