you've gotten the vaccine. why are they freaking out? >> you don't want to be friends with that kind of person to begin with. >> that's why like you, emily, thanks for coming on today. thank you for watching "fox news primetime" on lawrence jones and see you again tomorrow night. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the covid vaccines are like other vaccines you might be familiar with so here are some things we know about them. unlike the smallpox vaccine which prevents you from getting smallpox, the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting covid. the covid vaccine doesn't prevent you from spreading covid to other people. if the long-term events of the covid vaccines are unknown and at this point can't be known.

you know the vaccines are many times less effective than natural immunity and protecting people. close to 100 million americans only have natural immunity. we know some cases the covid vaccine is potentially fatal to people with heart problems. teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer a cardiac damage from the shot than they are to be hospitalized with covid itself. it's a mixed picture, some of what we know about the covid vaccine. the same vaccines which are far less effective than we were told they were are nevertheless mandatory for virtually everybody in america. why is that? why exactly is not the policy? in the speech to the country last week, joe biden didn't bother to explain why. explanations are necessary at this point. your consent is no longer required.

so instead, joe biden said this. >> i'm announcing that the department of labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together that employ over 80 million workers, to ensure they are workforces are fully vaccinated. or show a negative test at least once a week. if we are going to protect the vaccinated workers from on vaccinated coworkers. our patients has been wearing thin. the refusal has cost all of us. >> tucker: that speech was on thursday and it really was a pivot point. if you miss the speech, go back and watch it online. that address, biden suggested was the most divisive speech ever given by a moderate president. every sentence reinforce the point again and again and it's this, your fellow americans are

dangerous to you. if they kill you. that includes your family, your friends, the people you sit next to at work. all these people are threats to you and only the biden administration can save you. we're going to protect vaccinated workers from on vaccinated workers." that's what he said. think about that for a moment. if it make sense? if the vaccine works and they punish us if we question how well it works, how can the unvaccinated possibly pose a threat to the vaccinated? how? what exactly is the risk to the vaccinated from the unvaccinated? joe biden didn't tell us the answer, didn't tell us because he doesn't know. nobody knows. if there is no answer. the entire argument is transparently absurd. once you realize that, you realize the endless talk about public health is about public health, if it was about public

health the employees would make the vaccine available to anybody who wanted it and call it a victory which it would be. but that's not what it's about. it's about power. these demands are so obviously irrational that it's forcing you to accept them without complaint is the whole point of the exercise. it's a form of sadomasochism, dominance and submission. it's about power. if they can make you take medicine you don't want or need to come a day your they are his. you belong to them. they want and enough to destroy the health care system in order to do it. the irony in the speech the moment that joe biden accuse the unvaccinated of wrecking the hospital system, they'll plug the system. at that moment actual hospitals around the country were beginning to deny critical services to patients because too many nurses had quit. why did the nurses quick? because the vaccine mandate. they left their jobs rather than

get the covid vaccine. yesterday is one example hospital in new york stop delivering babies. they can't deliver babies because too many nurses have flight from the mandate. california, already the third world the state of medicine has declined dramatically and become a full-blown crisis. california can't hire nurses from out of state because too few people come and they don't want the vaccine. when health care executive told "bloomberg news" about half of the frontline nurses who treat covid every day have received the covid vaccine. at the rest the nurses have refused. these are people who treat alexandria ocasio-cortez for a living. you can't dismiss them as uninformed, they know more than virtually everybody in the world about the subject. but they refuse the vaccine. why? no one answer the question and until recently, no one thought we would have to answer that question because until recently, mandatory vaccines where

unthinkable even among democrats. watch these statements from just a few months ago. >> i don't like it should be mandatory, i wouldn't demand it would be mandatory but i'll do everything in my power like i don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide. >> can we mandate them across the country? no, that's not a role the federal government has the power to make. >> we can't require some need to be vaccinated to, that's not what we can do. it's a matter of privacy did know who is or who is in. >> no, definitely not. you don't want a mandate and try to force anybody to take the vaccine. we've never done that, we don't want to be mandating from the federal government to the general population. it would be unenforceable and not appropriate. >> tucker: things are changing so quickly that the populations becoming numb to what state of affair was the other day. a quick recap, one year ago they were telling you maybe you shouldn't take the vaccine because they were assuring you nancy pelosi in april saying

we're never going to require vaccines because we can do that and we don't have the power. your medical status as a matter of privacy. that was in april, thursday the required vaccines. here's where we are today. >> i would support if you want to get on a plane and travel with other people that you should be vaccinated. >> flying on the airplane is a hazard. you're logged in this and it's a privilege to travel. >> there's more mandates i wish he would have given. i think mandating vaccines for air travel, train travel, or interstate bus travel would also be important. >> there is privileges associated with being an american. if you wish to have the privileges, you need to get vaccinated. travel and having the right to travel inner states, it's not a constitutional right as far as i know. to board a plane.

>> tucker: so, we are quoting, "if you wish to have these privileges, you need to have been vaccinated." that's quite a statement. you have a woman who moved to the country from china sitting authoritatively in a box on cnn lecturing americans that their most basic birthright the right to travel within their own country, the country they were born in is now in fact a privilege. if the democratic party may decide to grant if you follow its demands. doctor, do i permission to drive my kids to school? it shocking if you think about it. how dare somebody say something like that out loud on television. what country is this. more on the point, why doesn't anybody in authority seem outraged by it? possibly because a lot of them hope that is our future. congressman don bier of northern virginia, has introduced legislation in the house that

were to require vaccine passports for all domestic air travel in the country. sound crazy? it's just the first step. phase one of a much larger protest. once authoritarian measures like don buyer's have made large numbers of otherwise law-abiding americans desperate enough to use vaccine cards, then we will move to the next phase and this will likely happen soon. you'll hear about the dangerous epidemic of fake documents and threatening the public health of the country. keep in mind the term fake in this context will refer only too avoid transparently partisan covid regulations. the forged documents the millions of foreign nationals use every day, those fake documents will get no mention at all. they will never, never be mentioned on cnn because those are the good kind of fake documents. only racists complain about

those fake documents. within a short time, guaranteed, will have another mass panic and this one about fake vaccination cards. the hysteria will stop without you, the rest of the power grabh media access. the perfect solution to that terrifying new crisis of fake vaccine cards in the answer is this a digital covid vaccines. it's so obvious. of all your key personal health information protected need your biometric signature and stored in the cloud. it's highly efficient. if only a russian qi nonoperative could oppose something so obviously good and essential to the public health. don't forget to bring your fingerprints when you go out. of because she's going to need to verify that your following all of the rules. all those things are privileges now, they can be taken away.

if it sounds like a fever dream or paranoia, rest assured that it's not. without mass resistance, that's exactly what's coming and it's coming soon. the question is where it is go from there? and a moment of centralized tech surveillance combined with as social conformity and that's exactly the country were living in right now, there's not many limits. if they can force you to take a vaccine you do not need to, what can't they do? why don't they -- i don't know, make you take psychiatric drugs if you're persistently disobedient? express the wrong leo, why couldn't they do that? what's the limiting principle on that? you can imagine a panel of cnn doctors explain we would be a lot safer if they got the treatment they needed. of stop spreading their dangerous conspiracy theories. giving them psychotropic commences an urgent urgent matter of public health. does that sound far-fetched? how about if the school

therapist allow your children to switch genders. why do you allow to stop it from happening? why do you have any say at all? you're not just a doctor, you're just a parent. if you're not in control of your own body and the vaccine mandates, you're not in control of your own body, what gives you the right to control your child's body? that's a good question. joe biden himself told the country on thursday this is not about freedom. that's true, it's not about freedom. keep in mind it wasn't long ago authorities in this country forcibly sterilized and lobotomized american citizens against their will. why? in the name of public health. it was a lot of people. explain fully so we can understand why it can't happen again. tell us why some version of that is unfolding right now. suddenly, things are moving very fast and they're all moving in a very specific direction. just the other day, when in the most prominent members of the

united states senate, the former harvard law professor wrote a public letter to amazon demanding the site banned books that she disagrees with. here you have a self-described liberal who is a law professor at the premier law school calling for book burning. did you think you would live to see that? the most amazing thing, nobody seems to notice. at this point, you can't really know what average americans think of anything because there no longer allowed to tell you. you can be fired for expecting an opinion. if there's not a lot of incentive to speak your mind in the united states. occasionally you get a glimpse of what the public things in large group of people over the years. here's something for example that's been happening at sporting events recently. >> [bleep] >> [bleep].

[chantinging] >> tucker: it's a weird thing to chant that again, joe biden's not there so why are they fans wearing a joe biden? because they are mad. what are they mad about? maybe they know they are being played. they know how well that what they say in public, as it is, it's not even close to the latest crisis that the country is facing right now. not the white supremacy, isis k, whatever bloated the industrial line machine has manufactured you to fear. it's all. they know it's because they live here. they know the greatest crisis in america actually faces is the disintegration of america itself and not social effort and what we have in common again? more than that, the physical reality of the countries disintegrating building the natural and scape and above all

the people. allowed lot of them are falling apart. look around. yes americans are dying in large numbers but not a flu virus. it's much more obvious. it's broken relationships, fast food to food, xanax, cheap beer. americans are dying in large numbers of self-inflicted deaths caused by sadness and neglect. that's true. the footage we are about to show you makes this point he was shot in downtown philadelphia but it could be any city in america, chicago, san francisco, new york, washington, d.c., pick one. the video is not a secret and has millions of hits on a given here's the interesting thing. no bidding in washington has mentioned it. do you see that? right there on the screen. that's the real crisis that we see. it's right in front of us, the

walking dead. hunting our cities and forgotten rural towns and how did they get there? there is hundreds and hundreds of them just in philadelphia. shuffling, moaning, shooting up, dying, under daylight and the major american city and by the way right down the street from where the founding documents are written. can you imagine the selfless geniuses who framed the declaration of independence returning to us 200 years later to see what the country has become. that's the crisis that we face in the degradation of our people. rather than fix it or care about it which is the first step towards fixing ants, they increase the degradation. bowed to the well or we will punish you. violate your own beliefs, give us your dignity. at the very moment when the american population desperately needs to be loved, helped, understood, uplifted. they are being degraded and

punished by their leaders. how was i going to end? the recall elections in california is tomorrow. we've got a new video of a robbery in los angeles, kind of crystallizing what's happening in california and the entire democratic party. here's a take next. ♪ ♪

"there is no expectation that ice will respond or confront any

persons walking away from the base." we reached out for comment to the dhs and we did not get a response. what's interesting is how uncontrolled all of this is. again, no vaccine cards, no monitoring, no paperwork, they can roam wherever they want. they are not you. they are not american citizens. white house currently asking congress to give the refugees access to welfare and driver licenses and put them on a path to citizenship which tells you a lot. a speech that surprised many, george w. bush the former president over the weekend compared the 9/11 terror attack to something he described as "domestic violence extremism." >> there is little culture overlap. in the disregard for human life.

election and maybe even two in 20,002,004. they concocted the person and you can get much worse than that. you are suddenly in trump years, i didn't agree with george bush all the time but i never questioned his character and his value, his patriotism. this weekend it turned into this lovefest. they dripped with abusive praise for him because what he said there is essentially the 9/11 attacks he was there to commemorate are the same as the three hour riot on january 6th. more importantly the people who did 9/11, al qaeda are similar or identical to the same ball spirit as he put it. and trump supporters essentially and they ought to be treated the same. war on terror against al qaeda and now he domestic war on terror against your fellow citizens is music to the ears of american liberals because they want nothing more than a new

domestic war on terrorism and treating their political adversaries like the bush administration treated al qaeda. >> tucker: at such a lunatic and extreme thing to say. the compare peoples policies, why is it not instantly disqualifying? speak of reason is because of political priority. if i spend more time reporting on this than any other topic and the political priority of the class to launch a new domestic war on terror. you can go back to you before january 6th, november 2012 to come and see articles on "the wall street journal" where joe biden was saying my top priority as president once i get inaugurated will be to combat domestic extremism. an array sixth happened, that became the pretext for doing it like a lot of what happened,

that's what they are using january 6th. it's demented to compare 9/11 to january 6th but it's so central to the agenda of the security state, the democratic party, to initiate a surveillance regime and the tension regime against people on the right who are against the establishment. they are doing at and they put people on the no-fly list, the defining feature, new legislation that gives the fbi and the cia new power, spending more money on law enforcement. the war on terror is crucial. >> tucker: exactly right and it's not just going to keep going on the rights, it's any dissent and anybody who wrote opposes the regime. thank you for coming on tonight. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: schools have changed completely since memorial day of 2020. very few teachers have fought back, but one have who was
