all men are disgusting. not just you, sorry, man. thanks so much for watching. i will be here. don't miss fox & friends tomorrow morning 6-9. lara trump will be alive. tammy bruce and catch me on the radio from 9-noon. they are not related. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." this past january, just to go days before congress said that joe biden was a winner of the electoral college. the message came from the man who at the time ran the capital police department, and he wanted the national guard troops to stand guard around the perimeter of the capital complex. some new, as everyone in washington knew that an enormous

protest against the electoral college certification was about to take place. it was coming to washington. yet, for reasons that are not clear, the sergeant in arms refused that request. then, on january 6, as stephen son predicted, thousands of protesters did arrive in washington. as the crowd grew and became unruly, stephen made 5 more urgent requests for soldiers of the capitals. they roamed the halls of the building. and yet, once again, every single one of stephen's requests for help was rejected. but why? why did that happen? january 6 is one of the most discussed events in modern american history. and yet, more than six months later, we still don't know why that has happened here no one has expended. nancy pelosi knows why it happened. you could tell us what happened if she felt like it. the sergeant at arms reports directly to nancy pelosi. and yet repeatedly, she has

worked to stop any inquiry whatsoever into the state of security at the capital on january 6th. in fact, the very next day on january 7th, forced stephen to resign from the capital. end of discussion. what exactly is going on here? congress' new january 6th committee was supposed to tell us what is going on here. figuring out what happened that day was the whole point of having the committee. we have heard that again and again. and yet, it turns out that nancy pelosi has no intention of reviewing everything she knows about january 6th. so she has turned that committee into yet another instrument of cover-up. today, the band call republican members. they are jim jordan of ohio and jim banks from indiana. what did they do wrong? those two specifically the most likely to ask questions about january 6. of course, they did not want to discuss. they pushed for openness, so she booted them. at a briefing in the capitals today, did not even to dull my

bother to deny. that's why she did it. watch this. >> that was not the criteria. >> yeah, what was the criteria? >> did you talk to those two members? >> tucker: read my statement, pelosi said. so we did. we read her statement. and it offered no explanations for why she band banks and jordan. once again, we know why she did. it was all the republicans on the committee, those two were by far the most likely to press for answers. even her lieutenants are not denying that's why they were kicked off the committee. nancy on msnbc. >> and this commission has to be set up to be a serious endeavor. our capital was attacked on january 6th. i think it is absolutely important that every single

person who serves on that commission, be they a democrat or republican, come to that commission as an american first, as a person with fidelity and focus on the constitutional duty that is ours, that we swore when we were sworn in just days before that attack on the capital. >> tucker: did you follow that? so if you want to know why officials who report directly to nancy pelosi repeatedly turned down security at the capitol on january 6th, even after protesters were inside the doors of the capital, you want to know what the hell that's about, you are un-american. you are a traitor. you hate the country. in fact, you might be a white supremacist insurrectionist yourself. so be careful. that is the official position of congressional democrats. remember when they told us they would unite the country if they ever took power? looks like they didn't mean it. so it's fair to wonder what else they are lying about and covering up. turns out there are still an awful lot of things we don't

know about january 6th, despite all the talking about it. for example, why is the justice department still tonight hiding thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the capital that day? will could possibly be on that tape that we are not allowed to see. who killed ashley? what was the justification for killing her? government agents that shoot them for trespassing and we are not allowed to know who did or why? is that really the new standard? about same dander to apply to blm protesters too or people who voted for donald trump, people's lives really don't matter? what role did the fbi play that day? we know for certain that there were fbi informants in the crowd at the capital. how many of them made it inside the capital and encouraged others to break the law? number ten the fbi doesn't stage crimes. we know for a fact they do it regularly. we know for a fact they did it right before the election in michigan for political effect.

details on that in a moment. what was the fbi's role january 6th and why can't we know? with some prodding, republicans might have asked about some of this. none of these are trick questions, not even partisan questions. they are entirely fair questions and they are important. every american has a right to hear the answers and hear them immediately. january 6 is being used as a pretext to strip millions of americans of their core constitutional rights. we are witnessing the most aggressive crackdown on civil liberties in our lifetime. that is not an exaggeration. nancy pelosi will now operate that way she would like americans to operate, as a one-party state. a least one would like to stay on the commission per dwindling credibility. that is liz cheney of wyoming. she knows that she is coming to the end of the road.

her own voters despise her. her career in congress is over. so what next? like her friend, bill kristol before her, liz cheney has annexed chapter plan. she will find a billionaire to help her with pointless wars. that's one thing she believes in. nancy pelosi might help with that, so she's doing it. >> the rhetoric that we have heard from minority leaders is disingenuous. the attacks on this building on january 6th, the worst attack on the capital since 1814. it was an attack on our constitution. today, the speaker objected to to call republican members. she accepted three others. she objected to two, one of whom may now be a material witness to events that led to that day, that led to january 6th. i agree with what the speaker is -- >> tucker: so january 6th was the most attack on the capitol building and more than

200 years, a period that has seen bombings and shootings, a lot of them in the capital, but if january 6th was the single we know the answers to the basic questions we just asked? that's a question for liz cheney. if it's that important, why are you hiding that information? was the answer customer and of course she doesn't have one. speaking of disingenuous, so the committee will proceed with one party. what will it look like? msnbc with subpoena power. on tuesday, nancy pelosi will call a capitol police officer who will pretend to speak for the country's law enforcement community. but it turns out that he has very little in common with your average cop. he is an angry left-wing political activists whose social media feeds are full of praise, not coincidentally for nancy pelosi. here is a picture of the two of them together. racism is so american, he posted, that when you protest it, people think that you are protesting america.#leaveittowha tisracist.

ladies and gentlemen, just another fact-based witness. jim jordan is one of the members that nancy pelosi band. he represents ohio in the house of representatives appeared we are happy to have him join us tonight. congress meant, thank you for coming on. >> happy to be with you, tucker. >> tucker: i don't want to spend too much time on the congresswoman from wyoming. but i wonder why she and the rest of the democrats are saying that this commission is so important, won't answer basic questions like why we can't see the surveillance, who shot ashley? why won't they answer basic factual questions about that day. >> or tucker, the fundamental question, which is why wasn't there a posture that day? it wasn't like we didn't know what would be a big rally. why wasn't there a proper security presence? that is a question that only as you pointed out in your monologue come along with the speaker of the united states house of representatives can

answer. but my guess is, tucker, my guess is the reason she didn't have the proper presence there was think about what happened last year. the democrats normalize anarchy. they said oh, if you are a writer or a looter, you are attacking police that we are defunding and we are going to raise money to bail you out of jail. so with that background, she couldn't have the presence that you need that day. so i think that is the fundamental question. >> tucker: wait, wait, wait. >> you don't hear representative cheney or anyone else talking about that. >> tucker: but i have to ask though, and leave it on that explanation. so even after january 6th, pelosi called the army in, built a wall, ironically around building for the capitol police in other states, et cetera. so she is clearly for law enforcement when they protect her. christopher wray refused to get on a conference call about preparation for january 6th before it happened. they knew it was coming. they didn't protect the building. they let the protesters in.

the fbi has a long history of setting up crime. we are going to get into it and a second. why isn't there a good faith investigation into the fbi's behavior or do republican somehow trust the fbi? >> well tucker, you may remember that we had the fbi address in front of the judiciary committee. i asked him what happens in the state of alaska. their door was kicked in. they were handcuffed. how about gunpoint and interrogated for four hours. they want even in the capital. so i've been pressing for those answers to those kind of questions as well. but the fundamental question is why wasn't there a proper security presence that particular day? again, only the speaker of the house can answer that question. what i find interesting is i have it right here. political headline. they accepted that everything was fine. it was reported. last night ago on your network and i made these very points. i talked about this. suddenly, shazam, the speaker

changes everything. can't be on the committee. so maybe that's the reason. maybe she just doesn't want to answer that fundamental question or any other questions. this is all political and we have known it from the start. >> tucker: jim jordan of ohio, thanks for joining us tonight. appreciate it. >> you bet, tucker. thank you. >> tucker: so, two years from now, it think tank tells republicans we need to invade iran. pause and ask who is the person giving this advice? meanwhile, we are learning much more about the fbi's involvement in another alleged active domestic tournament. that would be the pledge to kidnap the governor of michigan. now prominent democrats at the time blame trump for this alleged plan. so what was the plan? well, buzzfeed, of all places have don mike has just confirmed that the fbi had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. in other words, the fbi helped plan it. one fbi informant organized to

kidnap the governor. texts from an fbi agent directed an informant to draw people into the conspiracy. and then met, it looks like there were more fbi snitches and people working with the fbi. it was an fbi plot. so what does this suggest about january 6th before you dismiss it as a conspiracy theory. we know there were fbi informants. we will have a lot more on that tomorrow night. why can't we know they are involved in january 6th now that we are getting a sense of their involvement in this fake kidnapping plot? julie kelly is one of the few reporters on the story. she joins us tonight. julie, thanks so much for coming on. what do you make of this michigan kidnapping plot? >> well, what was interesting in the buzzfeed article aside from how they put the kidnapping plot together was a protest at the capitol building in michigan in

april of 2020, which eerily mirrors what happened on januar. this includes these militia groups. one of them, the 3%-ers, who also has been accused of participating in january 6th. they showed up in military gear. the police let them into the building, even with military guards. they had firearms. photographers were there to take pictures. they were banging down doors, looking for all of those photographs and everything. they went viral. sounds really familiar about what happened on january 6. so there is no reason for anyone to doubt or be skeptical that this fbi that we know is so highly partisan, has now gone after donald trump, his associates, and now his supporters for the past five years, that the fbi did not play an instrumental role in infiltrating many of these groups before january 6th and

instigating things on that day. >> tucker: we certainly have a right to know and i would love to know why we don't have a right to know. more, i would like to know why we don't know. seems like one of the reasons is republicans, starting with mitch mcconnell in the senate reflexively covers for the fbi and the department of justice. why did they do that, do you think? >> i don't know. i wish that i had a good answer because i don't. i don't even know that any republicans have spoken out since this news broke, that the fbi was so instrumental. now also, this was exposed in october of 2020. again, we have the justice department and fbi interfering in the election. joe this happened obviously in a crucial state just weeks before the election as people were voting. and this was supposed to reflect

donald trump's support, right, the whites of pharmacists. and so there is no reason not to believe that a few months later we didn't just have an extension of what was happening throughout 2020 and then really bringing that to what happened on januar. so we need more leaders asking questions directly to christopher wray about the fbi's involvement. i think we also have to give a shout out to revolver news because he really outlined in an article several weeks ago about the likelihood of the fbi's involvement. >> tucker: i heard another elected republican say it was an active security on january 6 because democrats were against law enforcement went democrats are completely for it if they control it and it protects them. it's clearly not the answer. i appreciate you coming on tonight. thank you. >> thanks. >> tucker: so cnn just made a mistake, one of many mistakes it

♪ ♪ >> tucker: so, the government keeps a database that has perspectives on vaccine harm. it's called the vaccine adverse event reporting. the side effects of vaccines. you are not allowed to read it though, and if you do, people attack you. so we ignore it. that's why today, almost no one noticed when the cdc updated their database. but we did notice it. tracking what exactly those numbers are right now. hey matt. >> tucker, the cdc's website posted an active thallium self-reports team reviewed as potentially linked to above production. it's called the vaccine excess reporting system. seth halley sat around 6,000 and suddenly spiked the fall thousand. and now it fell back down to 6,000. a short while ago, the cdc told us that the fluctuation was an honest mistake. that meant the death report tally was temporarily combined

with the international number. that has since been corrected. the current confirmed number of deaths being reviewed as possibly linked to a covid vaccine. 6,000 reports have been submitted to be probed for a link to a vaccine. the cdc tells us that many of the 6,000 forests have already been reviewed and determined not to be caused by a vaccine. in three total deaths were linked to a vaccine. all three of those came from the top so my johnson & johnson shots are 51 mathematics. for you. so the question is not what the number is. we can debate that. the question is are we as a country or the federal agencies making a good-faith effort to find out with this and care about what is this your following tylenol, there were claims that tylenol was causing people harm. you would look into it.

the news organizations are not looking into it because there is an enormous amount of pressure to ignore it. we are not following along, of course. they are worried that you will hear about them. they spend most of their time daydreaming about ways to punish people who refuse to take the vaccine. >> used to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated. right now it's kind of the opposite. it's fine. it's easy. you can do everything you want to do anyway. but at some point, these mandates by workplaces, schools my think it will be important to say hey, you can opt out but if you want to opt out from you have to sign these forms. you have to get twice-weekly testing. basically, we need to getting vaccinated the easy choice. that is what is going to take to actually end the pandemic. >> tucker: yeah, you should be ostracized. you are a threat to the people have been vaccinated. because vaccines totally work and save your life but somehow

unvaccinated people are still a threat to your life. not sure how that works but it's true. there was a guest on cnn. but as a channel, cnn should not have a position on whether you should take medicine or not, because it's a news channel. it's not a health station. and yet, yesterday, the bureau chief washington for cnn science and internal email with the subject line from "a majority of unvaccinated americans say they are unlikely to get the effects sell covid vaccine. this is the point of our current versus stick. the character is no longer going to. dot, dot, dot. we know about this because the person who sent it accidentally added somebody else to that email, charlie kirk. we reached out to cnn about all of this. current vaccinationrates are lo. went on to blame this show for

americans who don't want to take this particular medicine. suggesting it was cnn's job to force them to. charlie kirk is a founder of -- he joins us tonight. charlie, thanks so much for coming on. what does this reveal do you think about that news channel? >> well i think this is one of the few mistakes that cnn has made that is actually really helpful. is it cnn's stated position now that they are going to try to administer medicine under the threat of punishment? you know, the analogy is make usually when talking about incentives. what is the best way to propel human beings to get to a desired objective? as it cnn's position now that if someone decides to refused to get the vaccine, like i have, that i'm going to come under some sort of punishment? what does that mean? what does the stick to look like in cnn's world? are they reporting on the news or the actually trying to subsidize or incentivize human beings towards a certain outcome? are they trying to go after

stories that are actually want to hold powerful people accountable? and tucker, i think this is an interesting question. how would that internal email read any differently if it wasn't sent by an executive from pfizer or johnson & johnson pusher mark is there any difference at all customer if you just said, hey, would you think sent this email? someone from the cnn washington bureau chief or an executive of a pharmaceutical company? those are things worth asking. >> tucker: but why is a news channel doing this, any news channel customers a lot of them are. cnn's dr. road planned parenthood. these are not experts. and yet they are speaking with this moral authority, you must do this because we know, and of course they don't know, and questions that anyone else raises, including on the show gets shot down in the media. when did this become their role to do stuff like this? >> that's exactly right. the other question is why all of a sudden in the last 48 hours has there been this almost coordinated effort of people on the establishment center right

kind of virtue signaling and telling every single person to get vaccinated? we are starting to see this kind of disturbing increase of activity on the database. we are seen story after story, not to mention dr. robert malone has set on your program and dr. brett weinstein. and so, i think what we have here is mission creep of certain institutions that think they are supposed to do things that they really aren't, and tucker, i'm glad i received this email because we got an inside look into what cnn is trying to do in this regard to public health and it's very disturbing. >> tucker: yeah. it is disturbing. coordination, yeah. i'm suspecting maybe you are right, charlie kirk. good to see you tonight. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: so we used to spend a lot of time in this country talking about economic inequality. that was the point of occupy wall street a decade ago. that's probably a conversation worth having. we want to broaden the middle

as they used to say? that might be a conversation worth having. but we don't have it ever anymore. all we talk about his identity politics and defunding the police. why did that happen exactly? was it an accident? sometimes it's worth talking to people in the left, and there are some who are genuinely disgusted by what the democratic party has become. no one is more disgusted than jimmy door. he's a comedian, a podcast host who has thought an awful lot about this. we talked to him at length in a brand-new episode of tucker carlson today. here's part of that conversation. he's a musical >> the conversation on the left revolves almost exclusively around identity, which is about me. narcissism. it's about me. but you kept talking about economics. that used to be the central conversation on the left, or in america actually. >> yeah. >> why no more? >> the establishment has learned how to co-opt identity politics to put the brakes on economics

the idea that we have progressives inside the democratic party is actually more than the progressive movement to have him there. it gives them the thoughts and impression that there is somebody in government fighting for you, that there is one party that is kind of on your side. the quicker people realize that it aren't on your side, that both parties are not on your side, they only serve the oligarchy, they are back in the oligarchy. it was stolen way before trump. until that happens, we won't ever have real change. >> tucker: what about across the airport has? she's on instagram. >> she campaigned on a vote of medicare for all. she campaigned on creating what she called a ruckus, meaning you have to stop being polite. this is a quote. you have to stop being polite. we tried being polite and it got us nowhere. it wasn't until we started acting out and speaking impolitely that we even created the circumstances for change. that's what she tweeted. so i'm just doing what she said.

so i started to put heat on people like aoc and all of these justice democrats and the squad to force the vote. they set i was committing violence against them with my words. that's how scared they are. >> tucker: [laughs] were you? >> that's violent? that is how afraid they were. they had people write hit pieces on me in the daily, new york magazine, "newsweek," bugs fade. they tried to shut me down and squelch me. they made me trend on twitter or negatively. couldn't shut me up and they couldn't stop me. they don't know what to do with me, because again, they had wikipedia putting smears on me that i can't get rid of, cnn is calling me names. it's unbelievable what is going on. i am just a comedian, a pothead comedian in his garage. what you can do when you want to tell the truth. you can create a ruckus and i did. so not everybody sees that those people are fakers and they are

corrupt. the reason i say they are corrupt, it's not because they take corporate money and do the beatings of corporations, but they are doing the bidding of their own career, their own soft feelings. if i go along with the establishment, i'm going to get a book deal. i'm going to get speaking fees and be in congress for at least five years. and then i get a pension for the rest of my life. that's corrupt and that is why they are not pushing back. nancy pelosi can crush you. we will fund somebody in a primary to your left just like she did to aoc, right? that is what they are all afraid of. they are afraid of the power of the establishment taking away what little power that they have in congress. >> tucker: do you think they frauds? jimmy dorn, he knows they are frauds. that conversation got very intense. episodes now streaming on foxnation.com. so you still have to wear your obedience mask on an airplane and the employers and schools are forcing people to take the covid vaccine. but it turns out if you sneak into this country illegally from

whatsoever and just give themselves up to border patrol. this is something we have witnessed literally all week long down here. take a look at this wild video we shot in the same spot on monday when things were much more hectic. this was a massive group of between 30400 migrants who showed up at the same gate all with hopes of wanting to get into the u.s. they started opening up the gates to let the family through and some of the single men at points were trying to squeeze their way through the gates. what ended up happening was little by little they opened the gates and they let pretty much everybody through the gate. they let everybody through the gates including single adult males. a lot of these folks were haitian. i have a chance to talk to some of these guys. found out they are from all of the world. it's not just mexico. guatemala and honduras. take a listen. ghana. you are from ghana. brazil. you are from haiti. what did you decide to come? leg was back yet, so they are coming in from all of the place.

not just -- take a look at this startling information. the busiest sector along the border, the rio grande valley. covid-19 cases amongst migrants down in the rio grande valley have surged a staggering 900% in the first two whole weeks of july. it's not just the migrants. if the border agents too. more than 40 of them have tested positive this fiscal year. five of them are currently hospitalized. there is also an ongoing security situation. take a look at this photo right here. right here, this man was arrested. he is an active member of the cartel, an extremely dangerous mexican drug cartel. state troopers found him walking on the side of the road. thankfully they were able to take him into custody. tucker, we'll send it back to you. >> tucker: amazing story. you can't walk from ghana. you can't take a train from haiti. you can afford a plane ticket

but you are a refugee? didn't even ask him that? no one cares. do they have covid? no one cares about that either. all that matters is whether you have covid because you are an american citizen. so l.a., the city of los angeles instituted a mask mandate. ice is using military bases to then fly those migrants within this country without telling the americans, who have lived here their whole lives and paid taxes to support all this that is even happening because who cares. >> we all know that the approximately 80 haitian immigrants who were dropped off last week, we know more about them. today we learned that they have all been reunited with their families and friends around the u.s. and so at the end of march, volunteers said that they have helped more than 400 migrants from 42 countries, will reunited with family and friends across

cope a test these folks when they are coming across the southern border. i was down there in the rio grande valley with president trump three weeks ago. we saw this for ourselves. this is a serious crisis and they are sending them all of the country. the idea that all these people are reuniting happily with her family in the u.s., it is a dubious claim, and they are being made by nonprofit organizations and others were trying to put a positive spin on this. this is a very serious crisis. the one honestly, do republicans on the hill understand how radical this is making people? even moderates like me. this is such an insult to the country. and people are going to get radical if this continues. do they understand that customer >> they will hear they will. listen, i was at the town hall last week in louisiana with four of my parishes and county. this is a big issue, obviously on the minds of everybody. this was before this video was breaking. they know that our border is an open-door policy. the biden administration has sent a message to the whole world that hundreds of thousands
