family vacation. it was unlikely that liz cheney wound up there by accident. it's an eight hour drive from her home in d.c. suburbs. and more to the point, it's also eight hours from the scene and studios in downtown washington that she inhabits more often than most of us go to church and much more reverently. manchester is also not going to matter to her more than 2,000 miles from wyoming, that's the state she supposedly represents in the u.s. congress. so the question is what was liz cheney doing in manchester, new hampshire, appear there is only one answer. liz cheney plans to run for president of the united states. if that sounds demented, yeah, because it is. but it's also real. you may be wondering if liz cheney were to run for president, what would she run on? she doesn't like trump. okay. but what would your platform be? we know the answer to that because liz cheney only cares about one thing and only ever has, and that is starting pointless wars in faraway countries. more paul is the war and the farther way, the better it is.

droning peasants makes liz cheney feel powerful. it is been the great because of her life. but you have to ask, do a lot of voters agree with her on that? is there a massive national constituency for more iraq invasions? we've seen the polling on that. in a word, no. there's not a massive national constituency for liz cheney's foreign policy. just the opposite, in fact. people who live outside of d.c. do not support more pointless wars that do nothing for united states or its core interests. they are not eager to send their kids to die for eastern ukraine. in the answer is, they've done it. they fought a lot of wars like this and the dash because she has told him to. yet apparently she is the last person who doesn't know this. she has literally no idea. she believes she has a shot at the republican nomination for president. and she believes that fervently enough to fly to manchester, new hampshire, in the middle of november. so what can we conclude from this behavior? not looking at what she says, but would as she is doing.

and the only answer is liz cheney is delusional. she is living on another planet. and on that planet with her is the republican party's fading leadership class of people who stop obsessing with reality or of having new thoughts of any kind right around 2003. it is the era in which they are frozen in amber. and those people are sending liz cheney a ton of money. huge amounts of money. because i want her to run for president. she has raised millions of dollars just this year in part from political action committees by h mcconnell and needless to say, lindsey graham. currently all these geniuses think that liz cheney has a good shot of being president. so liz cheney is the cycles jeb bush who by the way has also given her money because of course he has. no, you should know that none of these people, and they are the very same people who feel perfectly empowered to lecture you about what is conservative and what is not him and not one of these people is that a single word that liz cheney's performance on the house of

representatives january 6th commission. that commission is now in the process of trying to hunt down and destroy anyone to the right of adam kinzer who himself is on the committee, and we should tell you, still bursting into tears quite a bit. the january 6th committee has become the american version of the soviet trial, overstating it, you think? watch out for yourself on c-span. come to your own conclusion. we will tell you this. the january 6th committee has somehow awarded itself the power to seize the personal communications of its political enemies and then make them public. their argument is very simple. turn over your text messages or we are going to send you to jail. let's not lie about this. the point of this exercise is not to uncover crimes. the generally sixth committee hasn't found any crimes that at this point will not find any crimes. the point is to harm and humiliate the people you disagree with politically, and that is what they are doing. so yesterday, in case you missed it, liz cheney found herself

with a list of text messages to and from mark meadows. meadows was donald trump's last white house chief of staff. those texts showed no evidence of any crime whatsoever, but since she had them, liz cheney thought they might be embarrassing to conservative so she read them on television. some of those texts and turns outward from anchors here at fox news. and liz cheney took special delight in reading those. >> according to the records, multiple fox news hosts knew the president needed to act immediately. they texted mr. meadows, and he has turned over those texts. >> tucker: notice the faux seriousness. until we get to what was in the text, just sit back for a second and consider what we just saw. we now live in a country where none of your private communications are safe from the eyes of power-hungry politicians like liz cheney. she can harness the awesome power of the national security

state to seize your personal text messages and then read them into the congressional record. guess what, there is nothing you can do about it. so your text, your daily diary, now belong to liz cheney. and the question all of us, no matter who we voted for, have to ask ourselves is, do we really want to live in a country like that? i probably don't. privacy isn't just a nice thing to have. it's not an ancillary concern. privacy is morally essential. privacy is a prerequisite for freedom. you can't have liberty without privacy, and that, needless to say, is the whole point of the spectacle, to let you know that we don't have freedom anymore, and liz cheney is really in charge. but what is extra amazing about what liz cheney just ate, is the reason is this is a show trial show trial disconnected from reality, is that the text message that she read yesterday were exculpatory. they didn't make her case. they undercut her case. so three fox anchors sent

messages to mark meadows. and none of them shared a mic cheered what was happening at the capitol. in fact, they were upset by it even when private when they assume no one was listening. that shouldn't surprise you. these are principled people. what they say in public is not that far from what they say over text message. if you get a text from brian kilmeade, it sounds pretty much identical to brian kilmeade on "fox & friends." these are not phonies. we can personally confirm that. whether you like them or not, they are real. so fox anchors on tv and in private opposed the blm riots in the summer of 2020. fox anchors opposed the rides on capitol hill in january of 2021. it turns out that anchors opposed riots, all rights. no matter who is writing. and we are the only news anchors in the united states of america who do this. the other channels wait to see who the riots rs voted for and they respond accordingly as you may have noticed. so the text that she read aloud yesterday were a tribute to the people who wrote them.

but because she is a liar, liz cheney attempted to twist these texts and to prove of some of conspiracy part of that insurrection story line, which by the way, is getting very old. january 6th was an insurrection, we will believe anything, where's the evidence of that? has liz cheney shown that a single prominent republican and the united states of america plotted to overthrow the government of the united states? no she hasn't. not one. as for the prosecution of kyle rittenhouse, liz cheney is proving the defendant's case inadvertently appeared and of course she is lying. they all are. the entire january 6th committee is lying and they are not even lying very artfully. repeatedly, and just the last few days, nearly a year after it happened, the record is settled, we know the facts. democrats continue to claim, contrary to the facts, that many people were killed at the capital on january 6th. cindy cortez, who has some kind

of power, and we are quoting, "138 injured, almost ten dead and which she called the terror attack on the capital." meanwhile, ayanna pressley of massachusetts told america that the insurrection "brought great trauma, injury, and loss of life." really, great loss of life? who are all of these dead people? can you be a lot more specific? january 6th committee? no, they can't, because they are lying. only one person was intentionally killed on january 6. who was that? she was a trump supporter. she was called ashley about that and she was shot in the chats without warning by one of liz cheney's bodyguards. those are facts, which they are lying about. so how can you trust a congressional committee that tells lies this obviously? you can't. and yet the white house has endorsed all of this. joe biden himself claims the on base is of no evidence of a

january 6th was the outbreak of white supremacy. >> we are confronting the deep stains and the remains on the soles of the nation. haight and white supremacy. the violent, deadly insurrection on the capital nine months ago it was about white supremacy. >> tucker: so that his ugly race politics. by the way, that was in october when we know all the facts. there is no racial angle to january 6th. what was january 6th? there was destruction of property which i'm totally opposed to. but what motivated to? why were most people there? for the most part, a year later, it is very clear january 6th was essentially what it appeared to be. thousands of ordinary american citizens, voters, people who believe in our democracy far more fervently than liz cheney ever has came to washington because they sincerely believes democracy had been ported. they believe the presidential election wasn't fair and they have a right to believe that. and by the way, in many ways, they were correct. the president will election was

unfair. and you don't have to go into anything but voting machines to believe that. consider the fact that we know as election date approached, verizon, t-mobile, and at&t shut down the trump campaign's ability to send text messages. and in google, and this has never been reported, google prevented the trump campaign from raising money over gmail. there is no precedence for that. the trump election campaign lost millions in donations and that was the whole point of it. some those powerful companies on planet earth heavily regulated by the government, benefiting from government contracts, swarmed behind joe biden and tried to stop donald trump, the sitting president, and his tracks. is that fair? is that the democracy that liz cheney is always lecturing you about? what is the answer? these are legitimate questions. instead of answering them, cheney has pushed -- in jail. if someone broke the law, punish that person.

that applies to blm activists and smudges it does stick you in. we are for enforcing the law. fairly, equitably, but we also think that as you do that, a mass of people show up angry at the capital, she would at least pause for a second if you believe in democracy and say what are they angry about? maybe we should address their concerns. the liz cheney wants. and those are the only questions that she won't answer. there are a few other questions you want answered. who is that this person dressed in black who we were told throughout pipe bombs all over capitol hill the night before and january 5th. seeing surveillance video of that person right now. you will notice that this person is on his cell phone. that's interesting. because according to criminal indictment that we have seen, the feds have used telephone geolocation to arrest dozens of people who were present on january 6th. not this person. they haven't found this person paired they haven't even identified this person for this stop talking about this person.

why is that, liz cheney? while we are at it, here's another question. what was the role of rahab's in the chaos of january 6th? we ask because he is on video on both january 5th and january 6 encouraging people to enter the capitol building on the witches to say, break federal law. and as he said this, you will notice, people in the crowd immediately identified him and they " -- >> we need to go and to the capital. >> let's go. >> probably going to go to jail. >> we need to go into the capital. into the capital. [chanting] >> stop -- the capital is the direction.

>> tucker: well, that is an amazing pair of videos. we are not prosecutors, by the standards of january 6th, i think what people are spending a year in jail for, that looks like a crime. ray encouraging others to breach the capital. and yet as far as we know, he has not been prosecuted or even charged. maybe he has. tell us if you know differently, liz cheney. but if he hasn't, how come? did he have any contact with federal law enforcement agencies before the capital was stormed on january 6th? liz cheney has called this "unpatriotic" for asking that question, but it's not an unpatriotic question, it is legitimate and very straightforward question. an american citizens have a right to know the answer. but she won't answer it. why? he asked her to come on tonight and explain. she refused, of course, because she is a coward. but until she answers the basic

question, there is no reason to play along with her charade. there's certainly no reason that any american citizen should even consider sending personal text messages to her the january 6th committee. if they're going to lie to us and hide essential information from the public, there is no reason to participate, no matter what they say. now to a related story unfolding in the capital, you probably haven't heard a lot about it. a woman called kathleen landrigan is a deputy warden of the d.c. jail. that's where many of the januarg held in appalling conditions peered some of those seem like they've been effectively tortured. maybe that is because we are speculating her is a rapid, hateful partisan activist who is so inflamed with ideology she doesn't even hide it. we have a lot of her social media which was public. for example, in this one she tweets, "f everyone who supports trump." she says she won't let fox news

shown on jail television. at one point she attacks marjorie taylor greene who tried to tour the jail and said she should be in president mike prison. marjorie taylor greene went anyway appeared she is the one who gathered this information. she has a sitting member from georgia and she joined us now. congresswoman, thanks so much for coming on. tell us -- this woman has a key position. we have walked for years these people elected unlike the blm protesters brought into jail and suffered. he saw firsthand. and you are wondering how this is happening. this person seems like part of the answer. tell us we know. >> i will tell you exactly that. she is the problem. as a matter of fact, that could be played of joe biden, that is exactly how she thinks. and she is the deputy warden of the d.c. jail where approximately 40 or more januarg held. she calls them white supremacist, she hates john, and she has anyone that supports them. she also doesn't think we need to have a border wall, but she is perfectly fine in keeping

these pretrial january takes defendants in solitary confinement for 23 or more hours per day. this is the woman they blamed for all the problems they're having at the d.c. jail, and this is the woman that is responsible for the atrocious condition that i witnessed when i toured the jail after she locked me out on several attempts of going in there. kathleen landrigan should be fired immediately and this jail must be inspected. the u.s. marshals have already been in. they've written a full report and they're moving 400 inmates to another prison. but for january 6 defendants to be punished and treated so badly under human rights completely violated, this is an atrocity that should not be happening in america, and the judges of their cases should allow them to go home until their court date. >> tucker: really quick, this is a key cog in our justice system. the deputy warden at the d.c. jail. how is she allowed to tweet like

an nt for the thug on social media? where are her supervisors? >> they don't care because they all agree with her and that is the problem with this is done. you see the democrats are so authoritarian that they use their communist tactics on these january 6 defendants, but it's also what they are doing on the january 6th committee. these are the tactics we see in china and russia and other countries. these are the things that shouldn't be seen in the united states of america. just like you are talking about these tweets or text messages that liz cheney just loves reading out loud about fox news employees and about members of congress, texting mark meadows and saying that we want the right to stop, president tnt trp should ask people to stop, that is a good thing. typically you want to president of united states to tell them to stop which she did. but this is happening for the whole process. these january 6 defendants are being abused so badly and it's at the hands of not only

kathleen landrigan but also their public defenders that they are assigned peered the court judges that just hate them and completely embrace the democrats ideology. and they are punishing their political enemies. >> tucker: well, if you have no privacy -- thank you for coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: big story out of cnn over the weekend. you may have missed it. cnn producer arrested for child molestation. there is a lot going on here. we have some questions which we will let you know about right after the break. looking for a few last minutes gifts? we are getting close to christmas. tuckercarlson.com could be the answer. better than amazon, anyway. we will be right back after the break. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> tucker: when you are working cable news, you are responsible not only for your own behavior but the behavior of your producers. if one of them does something wrong, you have to answer for it. you have to explain how the work environment you created makes it possible. -- we don't make the rules here. cnn makes the rules here. this is the role they make. everyone in the tv business acts like it is federal law. given that, it is interesting to

see what is seen. arrested for child molestation he is 44. his been for years a prominent member of the staff at cnn. last week on use arrested by authorities in vermont for having with children. typically read all the ugly details and tv but there too ugly so we will spare you them. if these are true, then this guy is awful and will spend the rest of the life in the present. we are not the jury, but the charges are very serious. in the meantime, here's our question. what kind of diseased work environment at cnn produced an accused child molester? that's not the question cnet would ask, but somehow cnn's tireless media critics have not said a word about it which is weird. it's been reported that he worked for a guy called john. if you watch cnn, you may see him occasionally. he is the filling guy.

when all the adults on vacation, he shows up and tells you how scary key went. but what is happening behind it? did he know that his producer molested children? does he believe the moral tone he sat at work played any role in these alleged crimes against minors? and we called scene in answers yesterday. they didn't tell us. nor has he issued any kind of statement about it, including on twitter where he lives pretty much all day. pretty weird behavior for an "journalist" not adding facts to a story you were involved in. we are journalized. we would like more facts in the story and hopefully we will get done. so kamala harris has many flacks not just at the vps office but the media wants you to know that despite being super unpopular she is hard at work. benson physical chronicle reports that "she has redecorated the vps office."

here is the meaning her choices. kamala harris has horrible taste. don't let her near your house. but the second thing you should know is you can only a supine, groveling media could produce coverage like that. he is connor's tour of -- she joins us. so great to see you. congrats on your book either way, which is killing you and deserves to. let me ask you. kamala harris redecorating an office and making it uglier is it a new story? >> apparently so. and it's pretty radiator to get on one on one interview with kamala harris. in "the san francisco chronicle," to their credit, managed to score one. but they did not care apparently about the border crisis, but the 2 million illegal migrants that have come over under her.

something she is supposed to be fixing. apparently nothing about that. it was all about the shade of blue that she repainted the wall. she has replaced apparently the tattered couches with some pristine white ones. and she also -- she has a lot of artwork on her walls. the fact that "the san francisco chronicle" wanted to great detail telling us all about a painting called "white daisy --" behind her desk. >> tucker: she is this feminist leader, inspiring americans, and including my daughter, and you get the one interview she gives is about interior decorating? >> look, it's pretty sexist, really. but that is what she is all about. she is all about trivial and frivolity. and she never wants to talk

about anything serious like the border. no plan to visit. no plan to fix it. no. all about her decor. >> tucker: amazing. author of a brand-new big on hunter biden slot top, the book is killing it, and deserves to. great to see you. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: dr. martin carey is one of the most knowledgeable, most experience and wisest public health experts in this country, and actual public health expert. today, he told congress the truth about the science behind covid booster shots. he joins a straight ahead. plus, a new documentary out thursday. it is called trial of kyla rittenhouse. access to that in all of our documentaries at tuckercarlson.com. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: they told you the vaccine works perfectly and will solve all your problems. now they are telling you -- that actually need a lot more injections. i was always the plan they just didn't mention it. now the biden white houses pushing covid booster shots, more injections for milling americans, including young people who have already had covid. so maybe this is a great idea, but we should definitely pause and ask real questions. no one is doing that except doctor. and today he testified before

congress that this is pretty irresponsible. dr. carey joins us to explain why he thinks that. thanks so much for coming on. this is just one of these conversations that we are not allowed to have and i think we should have, period. >> will happen last wednesday is that pharma did their own secret study and they came out with a press release saying that a third dose helps against omicron. they didn't release the underlying data and immediately our cdc put out this urge for every 15 -- 16 and 17-year-old to get a booster shot. there is nothing that represents waste and excess and a dysfunctional, scientific community more than requiring a young, healthy, low risk student who has already had covid to get a third dose of the vaccine. there will be unintended harm from this blanket policy. and who is making the decisions here? cdc just false online, do they work for big pharma or does it work for the american people? >> tucker: that is the

question. where is our political system here. we have protests outside fox news over time. most people -- there are no process no mike outside pfizer. do you have a giant company which does a lot of good, not attacking no one everything, but no one is even allowed to ask questions about pfizer's behavior. that doesn't seem like a functioning system to me at all. >> i don't expect big pharma to be talking about natural immunity. never heard a wink about it from our public health officials. people have circulating antibodies that neutralize the virus, but they are antibodies that the government does not recognize. and because of this massive mistake, careers have been destroyed, teachers, nurses, soldiers have been fired. and let's be honest, these are not older people who are high risk for covid. those people if they haven't had the infection, i recommend they get vaccinated. these are young people. medical privacy privacy is basically dead. you have young healthy women now

at the workplace explaining to their supervisor why they have a history of clots or why they have chosen to be hesitant about the vaccine. where they have read about menstrual irregularities which is a real thing that has been described in john hopkins, doing a big study on menstrual irregularities with the vaccine. medical privacy is basically dead. >> tucker: i would love to get every news anchor who my no rain here that tearfully apologize for reading pfizer talking points in the place of science for a year and misleading the public comment doing the bidding of the powerful. it is really shameful. i appreciate the bravery on display in your comment. doctor, thank you. peter navarro was a top advisor in the trump white house for all four years he advised the president primarily on trades but also on coronavirus policy. house, stomach democrats have subpoenaed him for documents related to his response to the

pandemic. a lot of people going along with us, totally soviet, shouldn't comply and he says i am not going to comply, and we are glad. he joins us now. thanks so much for coming on. you are not complying with this, i assume they will try and send you to jail and make noises about it. tell us who are thinking. >> sure. tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m., the material they wanted to depose me of. i told him that is not going to happen. in the big thing here, tucker, is that attack on executive privilege. what do i mean by that? there is a principal and candle were in the white house that requires confidentiality. and it is a principle that goes back to our first president, george washington. and he said that basically executive privilege means of the president determines what information can't be released. it only should be released if there is a public good associated with it.

let's think about that. no public good can come of a democratic sham witch hunt committee which has already made up its mind and just wants to target trump administration with a brush. that's their agenda. they've been going after me for over a year and i told them in a letter that i've already transmitted for tomorrow morning here there's an op-ed in "the washington times." and with no uncertain terms will i go there. and here's the reason. here's the point of the law, tucker. the president has exerted executive privilege. it is not my privilege. i don't have the power to waive that privilege if the president told the committee take it up with the president. and his attorneys. you won't be seeing mia in front of your paper. i tell you it's come this is going to be a different outcome than the jury sixth committee. kevin mccarthy made a huge miscalculation. he played checkers on a chessboard when he would through any republican membership on that and we wind up with liz

cheney and adam kinzinger, rhinos and drag. these guys basically sold steve bannon and mark meadows down the river. not going to happen on the committee i'm going before. i have steve scalise there is the minority leader. jim jordan, mark green. these guys are warriors. >> tucker: may ask you a 22nd question. is one of the dash you are being accused of war crimes or whatever, many more americans have died of corona under biden then under trump. so how dizzy does it make you feel to have these buffoons trying to call you an end blame you for something they have done a worse job managing the day? >> aire is precisely that my letter and i recommend that reading. my new book because without those, tucker comments explain how as early as january 282020 the president and i and robert o'brien were three people in the

white house that began working feverishly on things like the travel ban, on therapeutics, on the vaccine come on ppe. i literally, and i say this humbly, saved hundreds of thousands. maybe millions of lives with the work for the president i did in january and february. and for these guys to come after me, hey, you gave us joe biden. you were the guy in south carolina who took that guy off the top piece of history and put him in the white house. you want to investigate something, go and investigate hunter biden. i am a trump guy. they hit us, we hitch them back harder. that is what we are doing. >> tucker: we should be blaming the chinese. we did the mike they did this. yelling at each other. won't forget that. unfortunately, looting and violent crime have turned one of the busiest neighborhoods in the country to a ghost town.

everyone in charge is denying this is happening but it is happening. why is this happening exactly? that is straight ahead. earn abo,
