democrat players close to joe biden, such as tony "i'm sorry, stop, stop -- it's the weekend. the soul needs cleansing. does a fellow good to raise his eyes from the dank sewer of political corruption amongst a diseased and decadent pseudo-elite of the third rate grifters their country and contemplate instead the pure, unsullied, pristine translucent beauty of fine art's finest. yes, this month, the manhattan art world has been wrapped by the news of the acclaimed artist hunter biden, the botticelli of bagman, the pizarro of politburo suck ups, has painted a self-portrait. it shows hunter after he
10:03 pm
accidentally stuck his crack pipe in his ear. sorry -- that's van gogh cutting off his ear. this shows hunter biden after zoning by the department of justice and accidentally smoking the evermore inventive durham report -- my mistake. stand back. self-portrait by hunter biden. if you are saying, wait a minute, i stayed at that corner suite just last month, you are missing the point. what makes it a self-portrait for hunter biden, if you peer very carefully at the left-hand horizon, you can just make out jen psaki in the classroom explaining why this sudden boon in hunterhy biden art accounts r 3% of gdp. strictly on the up and up.
10:04 pm
>> there showing your referencing was previously public. he is not going to have any conversations related to the we believe this is a reasonable system that's been established that allows for hunter biden to work in his profession within appropriate safeguards. he's not going to discuss anything to the selling of art, and there'll be no conversations in that vein and will reject any offer that's out of the ordinary. >> wouldn't it be transparent to release the name of the buyers to everyone know who purchased this art? >> we won't know who the buyers are. hunter biden won't know who the buyers are. we won't know who they are. there is no scenario where they can provide influence. >> mark: here's how it works. the gallery is what they call in american law a public accommodation. anyone can walk in.
10:05 pm
art lovers, passing tourists, process servers delivering subpoenas to hunter biden, ne'er-do-wells stunt to describe that the hunter biden exhibition is the only store in new york where everything is so highly prized itri falls above the uppr limit of the new "feels anyone can look in and look at thee paintings, even republican. but if you try to buy them, you have found that they already sold in the private view, which is invitation only.on in which the artist, if hunter on his more lucid days just about is is expected to mingle with the invitees. general roles of the chinese people's army. ukrainian oligarchs, the wife of the former mayor of moscow. somali warlords and other celebrated our collectors.
10:06 pm
when you are a living artist making half a million bucks per "artwork, you know who your buyers are. what do you know! that's just how it is with hunter. former ethics honcho, no right winger, no fan of the showalter hunter biden will meet with prospective buyers of his absurdly overpriced presidency profiting art. good grief. who are these prospective buyers of hunter biden's paintings? the manhattan all the world abuzz with rumors that the great aunt of xi jinping and a familiar fan of his options is a famous collector of still life, balls of fruits, mounds of dead uighurs, the root twice moves
10:07 pm
controls 40% of the region's oils. says that there is more money in water colors. the supermodel who works with a similar blow pipe to hunter, she sucks in all the gas in central asia and things to a new deal approved by joe biden blows all the way to germany. and of course, the chinese agent who penetrated democrat presidential candidate eric slaw well is looking for a landscape to hang on the ceiling. these guys don't know much about art and they know what they like and what they like it is a biden family whose main creed of energies are going into devising news and evermore artful ways to be bored. a way better racket than the clintonth foundation. under the clinton model, a saudi prince or a sudanese magnate at
10:08 pm
the pay 2 million bucks and had to sit through a speech by chelsea on diarrhea in africa. at least you can sell the frame for 12 bucks and use the picture as a scarecrow. meanwhile, rival new york gallery owners are urging joe bidenin to cease to eat tapioca and watching matlock in the white house basement because he could easily double hunter's prices by offering himself up as a surrealist performance art. do you dig those q and joe is making the? mainstream. >> you think we are sucking the blood out of kids? >> i'm not sure... >> mark: corn pop like to suck the blood out of kids. and his esther williams bathing
10:09 pm
cap, had to take the tie out to him, come on, man! chris bedford is a senior editor at the federalist and we are always glad to see him. these joe biden diversions slightly obscure the fact he's not a genial old uncle. he's actually the head of one of the most corrupt families in the country. chris? >> we know hunter biden is above board. we know that he does business to sell out americans. he likes to take that the china, go to ukraine. we know he's responsible when he was ejected from the rock 'n' roll hotel in los angeles, he leapt through the front hall unlike jim morrison who went through the stack and story window. we know he's not the kind of guy who who will never make money in something he has no skills in, maybe except for oil and helping out with the chinese. at least in the art world, comparatively speaking, he has just as much of a hack and a
10:10 pm
fraudster as any other modern artist i've ever seen. >> you say that, chris, but there is a difference. that's true. there's a lot to be said that the entire new york canterbury art scene selling monies that would go up rich guys' knowses come a lot of truth in that. in this case, is being used as cover to get to the president of the united states and that's... that's slightly different from just the usual garbage that's hanging on the walls of midtown galleries. >> one of the best arguments i've ever heard against capitalism is meeting some of the richest people in america and the folks who generally fall for this kind of stopped. but usually modern art at least takes advantage of and rips off stupid wealthy people. rightt now what hunter biden is trying to do, he wants and trys to rip up the country by selling access to the white house and everyone is right to criticize
10:11 pm
this. this has been a real blind spot. i understand having a blind spot and being very defensive of your family, but negotiating dealsly for him to have face-to-face one-on-one anonymous meetings with different people to hand him over huge amounts of money for not very good art? i think that smells like corruptions and i don't want to get ahead of my keys here, but i suspect if one of the trump children did this the press would be a little angry about it. >> mark: my old friend used to joke that canadian art loves 90% of its value with the minute yov took it out of the country. what do you think hunter biden's value is going to lose the day after his dad leaves the white house? >> he might be selling a little bit cheaper. it might be moved from the hallway to the bathroom of the yacht.sa >> mark: thank you, chris. good to see you tonight. we have just obtained exclusive
10:12 pm
video from what passes for the southern border of the united states. fox's bill melugin is here. what if you got for us? >> good evening to you. just a short time ago, a contact with texas dps shows us that mexican drug cartels on our side of the border operating here. take a look at this video right here. a couple of couple of heavily armed human smugglers. dressed in tactical gear. they got high powered rifles with high capacity large magazine drums and what they are doing is they are driving around groups of illegal immigrants near land she is in texas which is about four hours from where we are in they'll reopen what they do is they order these migrants to get out of the video when they pull up to a gate come out telling them to get out beard the migrants are not running across the gates, hopping the fence and jumping into a waiting pickup truck that's going to be taking them to smuggle them deeper into the united states. these mexican cartels are making
10:13 pm
a killing during this border surge because all these migrants have to pay to get into the united states. really starting video to see how heavily armed they are an operating right here in texas. this is all happening as we talk about border walls. completely incomplete. take a video we shot here in del rio yesterday. parts of president trump's wall was starting to go up here but as soon as president biden took over, all that construction came to a screeching halt. a brand-new report released by senator james lankford of oklahoma, basically summarized it costing taxpayers up to $2 billion to not be building this wall since the month of january. on top of that, basically says we are wasting $3 million every single day, paying contractors to babysit steel in the desert when there's no construction taking place. look at the video we shot right here at the section of the wall in del rio today, a massive group of 250 migrants show up to the gate here today in hopes to being led to the united states.
10:14 pm
mostly haitians, some from africa, even a guy from india. border patrol let everybody in. they took them all the way and ship them away in the area of the processing centers where many of them are going to be released. to to appear in court. showing video to the people who turned themselves in, not always the case. the texas trooper, he's going to pull over a human smuggler. when he approaches the vehicle is going to florida and take off. you'll see that the true britons are pursuing the vehicle down to the road. a ton of immigrants to start stirring out of the vehicle running into the brush. the trooper goes and chases down the driver. all the immigrants you see spilling out of theop vehicle ty ended up getting away. twe will send it back to you. >> mark: you said you've seen basically citizens from three quarters of the countries on the face of the earth. have you seen any of your fellow correspondents from other
10:15 pm
networks celebrating all of that diversity at the open border? >> i have not. doesn't mean they haven't been down here, but this is my sixth or seventh trip to the corner and i have not seen any of the other networks out here yet. some of the other channels have been down a couple of times. but other than some other local affiliates and some freelance reporters. >> mark: 150 different types of foreigners, but not a lot of american television correspondence. great stuff, bill. by the way, new episode coming out nextut week of documentary series, tucker carlson originals going to take you straight to the border. that episode is called the illegal invasionon and you can e it on foxnation.com starting from next thursday and we'll have a preview of it on the show next week. we told you that the national security agency has been reading tucker's emails. the laughably missed -- made a

>> this is a fox news alert. >> mark: this is a fox news alert. we told you that the national security agency has been monitoring this show and the content of tucker's emails. according to a media outlet called "the record," the nsa has just completed its internal review of the matter. the nsa admits it on mast is tucker's identity after an intelligence intersect. the identities of american citizens are concealed when they are caught up during foreign intelligence gatherings. they can only be unmasked in extraordinary circumstances. fox news has just released this statement quote, for them to unmask tucker carlson or any journalist attempting to secure a newsworthy interview is entirely unacceptable and raises seriousnd questions about their activities, as well as their original denial, which was
10:22 pm
wildly misleading. we are always glad to see harmeet dhillon when it comes to issues like this. what do you make of the nsa's revision of its story? >> well, mark, thank you for having me. i'm not buying it. i think what they are saying now is inconsistent with what they've said before and it's inconsistent with the facts that tucker has revealed. for example, tucker set a his show several nights that a source within the government came to him and read out several of tucker's texts and messages. what the government is allegedly ssaying today is that the unmasking occurred regarding third parties talking with one another about tucker carlson. that's inconsistent with them intercepting tucker carlson. number two, there's only a handful of people united states government who have the right to unmask people and that right was widely abused during the end of the obama administration, 2016.
10:23 pm
i'm afraid it's being abused right now. so this raises more questions than answers. and i think we need to be raining in the abuses in the national security community of these type of issues and no americansan should be surveilled this way. finally, these types of communications should never be linked to the media. axios had these green occasions. how does that happen? >> mark: people totally unrelated to the so-called investigation had been as well. looks like we are back to the frenzy of january 2017 on this unmasking nonsense. i wanted to ask you about a related story. nick clegg was one's hermit britannic majesty's deputy prime minister. now he's the executive director at facebook. a podcast with an x biden guy named andy
10:24 pm
here is how nick clegg responded. >> i look at tucker carlson, i think he and his team, labeled a video posted on the tucker carlson's tonight facebook page, there is the pole about teenagers adverse reaction to the vaccine. we didn't remove it. and, yeah, that gets us in a lot of hot water because he's a very articulate advocate for his viewpoint. and he's got a lot of ardent supporters and they say that facebook shouldn't do that, how dare you -- >> cancel culture. >> i'm not complaining about it at all. i think it's part of the consequences and the privilege of the success that facebook has had. but we get it in the neck from both sides. >> mark: harmeet, what's your
10:25 pm
reaction to this so-called demoting? >> that was very cringe to listen to, how awkwardly nick clegg answered those questions in the tradition of neville chamberlain, scurrying for the favor... >> that's the devil, i should say. >> mark: the st. certainly seeking consultation with the enemy, something that private governments want to stay away from. but successful administration support strain on social mediato countries, they are sensitive from straying from the government. and you have the administration calling mark zuckerberg a "stone cold killer casually for not suppressing enough, you naturally have a circumstance where these companies are going to come in, and they do. we had it not only in this vaccine setting but in the
10:26 pm
election law setting. a lawsuit pending in the state of california for censoring speech considering the election and taking down people from twitter and other secretaries of state are doing this as well appear this is widespread, don't know the extent of it. it is dangerous and barred by the first amendment. i click to see a lot more litigation on thisis issue. >> mark: let me ask you since you brought up neville chamberlain, the united kingdom is a much diminished place this day. but still in normal circumstances, you would not think it normal for a guy to go from deputy prime minister to some junior executive at facebook in any kind of promotion. does that factor alone that zuckerberg is hiring deputy prime ministers, telling us that facebook is now bigger than most countries, bigger than most governments? >> it's been like that for a while and not the concern that it's b not bigger than most countries but which countries are the big markets that these
10:27 pm
social media companies are seeking to invade, if you will. they are very interested in dominating the chinese direct market and the indian market, markets with not an appetite for free speech that neville chamberlain in the u.k. have. they seem to acquiesce that of course the government can tell us what the sensor and of course we are going to do that and squeeze the government as much as possible. in so doing and falling over themselves, i think they are putting themselves at risk of losing some of those protections from liability that these companies have won with so much lobbying and are very afraid of those things. >> mark: that's a very good point. i wish they would lose some of those protections because there's no good coming for any of us increasing the power of zuckerberg. always great to see you. thank you so much for joining us tonight. speaking of what harmeet was just saying, there's new
10:28 pm
evidence that china has far more influence with the big shots around joe biden theng anyone wo has realized. that straight ahead. plus tucker himself or making a special appearance on these airwaves. the twitter stuff you've read how he's being fired, none of it is true. going to be here in just a minute and you will not want to miss it just a minute on't want . .
10:29 pm
i will bless those who bless you here in israel and the former soviet union the jewish people are living in very difficult times. there are now thousands of destitute elderly jews who are desperately in need of basic food. the international fellowship of christians and jews is on the ground with survival food boxes but the need for food is growing.
10:30 pm
call or go online now and say, "i will bless these children of abraham." it's the elderly widows who are hurting the most. many of them are also holocaust survivors who are once again crying out for help. there need as you can see is extremely urgent. right now, you can give a gift of life of $25 that will help rush an emergency food box to an elderly jewish person who doesn't have enough to eat. together, we bring them comfort and love but just as important we bring them this life-saving food box. a gift of $25 will help rush one emergency food box. without your response, their pain and suffering will continue. inside of every box we put a note
10:31 pm
that says, "this box is donated because of the generosity of christians around the world." i just want to encourage all of you to join with yael eckstein and the wonderful work of the international fellowship of christians and jews. wherever in the world the jewish people have the greatest need our spiritual mandate is to feed the hungry and to care for the widows and orphans. call or go online now and say, "i will save a life!" "i will bless and comfort the jewish people."
10:32 pm
10:33 pm
>> >> mark: welcome back to this inside the issue special edition of tucker carlson tonight. china has more influence in american government than it ever has before. from the intelligence pages to public health, one of the people who studied the extent of the
10:34 pm
influence is lee smith. tucker just sat down with them for a brand-new episode of "tucker carlson today." you'll like this part of it. >> the amount of damage done to the american worker and what we are looking at is absolutely shocking. if we look at what the biden administration now represents, which the biden administration is really at the head of a really large american establishment that again is not at this point not just a corporate and political establishment but also includes the academy, all of thesee universities that are taking money from the chinese. and miss reporting about the amount of money that they are taking from the chinese to basically sell their research, to basically sell their research off the books. if you look at the cultural establishment, talk about nba, hollywood, but there is the art
10:35 pm
world as well. the art world has been kept afloat more than a decade by the chinese consumer market. if you look at the different galleries that still exist now, whether it's in los angeles or in new york. it just cuts across... it's just an enormous creek cutting across the middle of america, what i call the china class. it seems like a looting, in some ways, but it also seemed, this is depressing, to say out loud, but also the dynamic between the dynamic in great britain after the first world war, where great british country houses were basically dismantled and stiffed to the united states by some of the richest families in the u.s., where americans married off their daughters to, you know,
10:36 pm
the children of penniless titleholders because they want, et cetera and et cetera and et cetera, the united states basically took a lot of english culture and shifted it over to the united states because it was an ascendant empire feeding on the carcass of a dying empire. >> a lot of american literature is about at that point before world war i and after world war i, it's about the growing american aristocracy, the business aristocracy feeding off or picking off the corpse of the british aristocracy. what happened here, which is different is that, again is the elite whose dismantled this country and sold it off for parts. there was no reason for us to lose what is effectively a very
10:37 pm
serious conflict between us and china. not a military conflict, but certainly an economic one. no reason for us to lose it aside from the fact that... it's not that they were working for the other side. they were working for their interests. china was a proxy. china happened to be the power with a huge captive labor fours and a growing consumer market. the only difference, the difference is that the british aristocracy, they didn't want to sell off the british people, but that's what's happened to us. our elite especially is corrupt. >> tucker: why do you think -- there are so many threads, but one last big picture question, why do you think people in charge of united states were so quick to sell out their own country? was it purely aur profit motive?
10:38 pm
there does p.m. seem to be some contempt involved. >> some ways the roots of it are in the globalist idea. and china is really the central piece of the global idea. you can't make this work without china here when you start incorporating all these ideas like... trade is limited, borders, trade is limited, like national sovereignty, you have people who are actually contemptuous of the country. and then of course the educational system, the academy, enforcing all these different things, at we have an elite that has no level or affection of the scountry that doesn't share the habits and the mores, the love, as well as the hates that the rest of the country share. once you have that, people in
10:39 pm
the leadership class who are openly disdainful of the things that the rest of the country loves, and we see how they express their contempt. >> mark: lee smith, the american elite has sold his country for power. the whole interview is full of stuff like that. you can watch tucker's full show with lee smith on "tucker carlson today by going right now to fox nation.com and you won't regret it. amazon has a pretty good selection ofec goods, but now jeff bezos has some competition from an unlikely source, the homeless of san francisco. our inside issue the special continues after this straight ahead.

10:46 pm
some economic vitality and now there is a new retail option occupying some pretty prime real estate near trendy restaurants. they sell stylish jeans and shirts, really nice luggage. huge variety of whiskey that retails for about $70, but goes for around 20 in this particular business. are quite theat steel. probably literally because this is a homeless bazaar. taken over by a business that's primarily serving the homeless community. you can see clothing with tags on them hanging from fences. booze, lines of sidewalk. the mayor's office knows about this but they haven't actually cleared it. it's still there. this is not the city suddenly taking an interest in supporting small businesses. even in seattle this is absolutely illegal but it's a result of the city that allows homeless encampments wherever
10:47 pm
they want. that includes homeless people setting up businesses on the sidewalk. the city said that the pandemic is here, we are taking advantage of it, going to justify stopping almost all the sweeps that we would normally do, and so these homeless bazaars and marketplaces have been spreading mostly across parks. you can go in there, buy weed, meth,ro heroin, stolen bikes. if you were in the market for some stolen high-end whiskey, we've got a location. >> mark: after a year and a half for covid and lockdowns, the retail sector is booming again if you are a homeless person who steals all the goods emporium. what a fabulous well! i must come out and see seattle sometime, jason. thank you for that. while we are out on the west coast, a new law in california could send hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer monies supposedly
10:48 pm
earmarked for covid relief to a new diversity and inclusion initiative. we could always use another diversity inclusion initiative come on the matter how many of them we have, there's always room for one more. can he he's also the author of an"inco" he joins us to explain. these are supposedly serious timesav. we've got a pandemic, we've got masks, we've got vaccines. and yet bizarrely enough during this last year and a half, all this diversity inclusion racket seems to have uniquely prospered and even with funds for the supposedly earmarked for covid relief. >> yes, mark. i talk about it in my truth in "inconvenient minority," the price we pay to the american taxpayer is very high.
10:49 pm
because biden directed $2 billion to california's public schools force between a six relief, but a lot of the money can go to ethnic studies because he made a loophole.ec he said, you can direct this money to initiatives that prioritize black and hispanic students in the name of equity. what did they prioritize with black and hispanic students? ethnic studies. herere are the facts, mark. ethnic studies does not help black and hispanic-americans. you know, ethnic studies actually causes black and hispanic-americans to self stereotype, which evidence shows results in lower performance in test because they believe they are racially not capable of achieving. it also -- many of these ethnic studies classes are actually taught in spanish in the name of racial authenticity see which increases the achievement gap between latino americans who need to learn english, and the rest of america.
10:50 pm
i've seen equity initiatives, hundreds of millions of dollars spent, hundred $40 million spent in montgomery county in the name inof equity, spending achieve nothing for a black and hispanic-americans. it did not increase the achievement gap, it decreased it. i cannot let a parasitic ideology take over the minds of young minority children here this is why i'm fighting it with my book, "inconvenient minority" and my group. >> mark: fascinating group and you are quite right, it's a racket and it's disturbing that so many otherwise apparently sane people do not see what a racket it is. thank you for laying that out for people this evening. thank you. one of the leading causes of juvenile delinquency and crime is rarely ever mentioned. one researcher has taken an honest look at the issue and he

>> welcome back to the inside the issues special edition of >> clock back to this "inside the issue" special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." one in four american kids live without a father. brad wilcox asserted the effect that's having on children in this country and he's a professional of the sociology of university of virginia. rather, just to kick off, and extraordinary study from "the new york times" which argues that in fact like children fathers less than children and other families. in other words, white kids may need fathers and hispanic kids
10:57 pm
may need fathers and pacific islander kids may need fathers but black kids don't. is this serious? >> mark, it was striking to me this study is based on research that suggests some education outcomes having two parents is less important for black children. looking at a wider range of outcomes, what you see is the value of the 2 parent family is strong for kids across racial lines. we find in our research that poverty is 3 times higher for both black and high kids raised outside of intact homes and incarceration twice as high for kids. we see similar stories. but this harvard op-ed was designed to minimize the importance of a 2 parent familyy for black kids unfortunately. >> is race less relevant to
10:58 pm
this? white rural america lives in the same dysfunction urban arrangements as urban black families do. >> one striking thing we see studying the family in america, class is more important than race as your comments just indicated. we see in this research that white kids are coming from nonintact families and do worse than black kids from intact families when it comes to poverty, prison and graduating from college. we have lost the appreciationat for the way in which whatli happens to our families matters for our kids it matters more than things that occupy our public conversation today. >> just to pick up on that class
