friends tomorrow. tucker carlson is next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy friday. jupiter is a little town east coast florida, not a huge place. as safe and orderly place. a ton of nice people live there. not all of them is rich which is unusual for a coastal town. it's a country you remember. you wouldn't mind living there, sure. over the weekend, jupiter, florida, look less like the america of 1980 and more like

the america that joe biden is busy creating right now which is to say chaotic, crazy, out-of-control. families sitting on the beach on jupiter this on their watch slack-jawed as a boat carrying thousands of unemployed immigrant haitian suddenly pulled up on the shore. people inside the boat hopped up, ran for the waves, and scattered. not what you expect on a sunday on the beach but not everybody in jupiter was surprised to see this happen. another boat full of haitians landed there this summer. it's becoming a regular occurrence in jupiter, florida. in the end, federal authorities caught a number of the migrants according to customs and border protection's, the haitians will be processed for removal proceedings. most of them will not be sent home for most of them will stay here forever. they didn't come here illegally, they came here illegally. take a look at this chart. it shows data compiled by syracuse university immigration

hearing so far under joe biden. more than 70% of the illegal aliens have been allowed to say in your country after their so-called deportation proceedings but there's no deportation involved. immigration officers hate this. they are not allowed to do their jobs. but they are not in control of your joe biden is in control and joe biden is trying to change the country as fast as he possibly can. you may not know this. the rest of the world is watching closely. if you live in an impoverished country and you'd like a better job and free schools and free health care courtesy of american taxpayers, come on in. and they are. speak of the best way i can describe the border right now is chaos. absolute chaos. speak of arizona national guard... >> this has been the largest surge of immigrants i have seen in my career. >> since october of this year, customs and border protection reported close to 22,000 encounters any human sector. that is a 2226% increase from

this time last year. venice coast he sees thecrossings every day s just how overwhelmed the border control is. >> border patrol says we can't do anything, totally booked up and can do nothing. i've been on camera here, they've had 20 people cross already. >> tucker: this is totally crazy. you aren't supposed to mention it, they've racialized everything, so you can say anything but most republicans have been intimidated into silence. but nothing like this is ever happen in the united states and it's important for two reasons. the first is the rule of law. remember that? there are people right now still being held in solitary confinement because they trespassed in a building that technically they own, it's called the capitol of the united states, and they are still there! they are still in jail. but millions of foreign nationals just walk in, ignoring our laws completely, that's

totally cool because equity or something? how can anybody respect the laws of the united states when they are being ignored by the people in charge of enforcing them? there is a massive cost of that. here's a second point to make. you cannot overstate this scale of demographic change underway right now in the united states. it's a direct assault on our democracy. democracy is the priceless if you changethe population, yoe political power on the people who already live there. that's a assault on democracy. on what scale? customs and border protection, more than 170,000 foreign nationals crossing into our country from mexico last month. how many people is that? that's equivalent of the entire population of knoxville, tennessee. in a single month! that's a record. it's happening every month, month after month under joe biden. those are just the people we are

catching. so this, and let's not lie about it, this is a democratic party's reelection plan. new york is allowing noncitizens to vote. expect that trend to spread. because equity. it has nothing to do with equity, it's about politics, the whole point of this. a lot of these people may turn out to have political views democratic party does not expect whatsoever. particularly latino women, will have a lot more on that in a minute. but purely as an economic matter, this is a disaster. no wise person would do this. this country is getting poorer in part because of inflation but nobody wants to face that truth but it is true. is this really the time to import millions of low skilled laborers? probably not. what are all the people going to be doing for work in ten years? that's a real question. the current labor shortage has accelerated the automation of low skill jobs.

it's simple. has anybody with a business, employers can't find workers. food delivery service grub pub has rolled out a tom is delivering on college campuses across the country. that's happening everywhere. so there is going to be a lot less low skilled work available very soon. how is not going to end for us when we've got millions of new arrivals with no jobs? opening the border may be the most single destructive thing that any administration has ever done to this country. fox's bill melugin has chronicled this from the very beginning and joins us with an update. hey, bill. >> tucker, good evening to you. if you want an indication of how overwhelmed and undermanned our border patrol agents are, take a look at this video we shot this week. five nights in a row we embedded with texas state troopers up in that candy town area, looking for illegal immigrant runners, guys dressed in black and camel actively trying to evade but everywhere you're looking at is

desolate terrain? 10 miles inland from the rio grande. they were ready made it past border patrol. only texas dps troopers are patrolling these private ranches. if they went out here, all these runners being caught and arrested with make it into texas without any resistance whatsoever and we were with them five nights in a row watching them arrest dozens of these guys every single night. these people are not coming here to get themselves up or claim asylum, they are trying to evade and trying to sneak further into texas and when the texas state troopers catch these runners, they don't hand them over to border patrol. they arrest them and they take them to jail for criminal trespassing. they've made more than 2,000 of these arrests on private ranches just on the last couple of months or so. real quick, we'll show you this video we shot yesterday where we are in the rio grande valley here in la jolla. migrants continue to spill in this area. everywhere they are crossing is federal land, there is no federal law. essentially no resistance.

these family units shot by the hundreds pretty much every single day looking for border patrol to give themselves up and we talk about how they are coming in from all over the world, dhs source telling me that yesterday border patrol here in the rio grande valley picked up two men traveling together. one was from morocco, the other from syria. we'll send it back to you. >> tucker: amazing. bill melugin for us. so texas is the state into which the majority of these migrants are coming. greg abbott is the governor of texas. he has announced that he's building a border wall in texas to protect his state. grateful to have governor abbott to join us now to explain what he's doing. thanks a lot for coming on. so tell us. you are building a border wall. >> we are. tucker, this is unprecedented both in speed and in reason. never before has a state of the united states of the america had to step up and build its own

border wall. talk about all the things joe biden has done but also with which you are able to do it. i signed a document exactly six months ago directing the texas commission to begin building a border wall and months after that i signed two budgets were texas taxpayers are spending $3 billion, with a b, not to do the federal government's job to step up and secure the border. a large portion of that money is going to build this border wall. i don't know if you are showing images of it or not, but the border wall we are building is built by some of the people who built the border wall for the trump in administration and the exact same wall is 30 feet high, made out of steel rods, about 6 inches by 6 inches, in this is an extraordinary barrier that we are putting up by the football fields per day. we are putting up well over

100 yards each and every day, we are going to continue to build this and i can explain to you in part why we are able to move so rapidly even faster than the trump administration was ever to move. first, part of the land we are building on is owned by the state of texas. second, there are so many large landowners on the border who are so fed up with the biden in administration they are allowing texas to build the border wall on their property. we have 100 miles or so of land being donated to build the wall to better secure our border. >> tucker: it's amazing here for hundreds of years, people have gone back and forth between mexico and texas, it's never been a huge deal. texas was never uptight about immigration. but the scale of it got so crazy it seems like people's attitudes are changing. >> people's attitudes are changing especially those who live on the border.

however, tucker, people who live on the border are primarily hispanic and the spanish live on the border are fed up with these open border policies. that is exactly why you see all these counties on the border, they voted overwhelmingly strongly in favor of president trump and they are turning republican because they are against the socialistic policies being advocated by the biden administration. open border policies are globalist policies that are destroying the united states of america and that's why we are building the border wall, that's what we have the national guard on the border, we are arresting and jailing these people coming across the border. >> tucker: amazing development that i appreate you coming on to explain it to us tonight. governor abbott of texas, thanks. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the government did not overstate the sea change in

attitudes because of this wave of immigration paid 60% of latino voters backed democrats last year. which is actually a lot smaller than most people in washington ever expected. according to a new poll on "the wall street journal," hispanic voters are heavily divided between democratic and republican. what is going on here? you don't see changes like this in american politics this abrupt ever, but you are seeing it now for pedro gonzales is the associate editor of "chronicle" for thanks a lot for coming out. what are we watching here? am >> the important thing is that ship is ultimately unsurprising. we've been here before. the policies of mass immigration supported by white liberals directly affect the lives of these people economically and culturally. stuff like latinx was a project to turn hispanics into an effeminate voting block only

identifiable by its support of the lm, transgender is him and spicy food when you look at surveys on national populist positions, you'll see that many hispanics now mirror their white counterparts and they view political correctness as a problem, they value america's heritage and it's worth preserving, they believe that america must reduce the number of immigrants it admits every year. i favor an immigration moratorium. all these are horrific to the white liberal mediocrities at "the new york times" who fetishized brown people and view them as tokens with which to signal their virtue. these people are sick and pathetic. but there is another problem apart from these pathetic white liberals and that is many in the g.o.p. establishment, independent of rhetoric, want to use this newfound support among hispanics to justify getting soft on immigration, the justify

inane progressive project like the new rnc pride coalition and criminal justice reform. last year in wisconsin, you saw a shift right among hispanic voters partly due to blm riots, they aren't fond of those. this year, a blm supporter named darrell brooks drove a car into wisconsin christmas parade killing six and injuring more than 60. where is the g.o.p.'s unequivocal law and order vision? where is their vision that isn't a a moderate version of the democratic white form with the possibility of more foreign wars? we have not seen it yet. >> tucker: if we did really real polling, what do you think we should do about law and order? that should be the republican platform online order. thank you for your incisive

analysis on that. you are watching colleges and universities across the country shut down. wait a second, everybody there is vaccinated. why are they shutting down again? one major school district has announced it's going back to virtual learning. something very strange is going on. we'll explain it next. lain next.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert as he continued to start the country's descent into irrational behavior, one of the biggest school districts in the united states has now announced that because of omicron, students will transition to virtual learning until mid-january. a disaster for families. why are they doing it? the school didn't say, they didn't attempt to justify for data. more they made the decision because "of anxiety in the school community" appear at what is that even mean? it doesn't mean anything but apparently it's enough now to prevent kids from going to school. it's not just happening in prince george's county, not the only place regressing back into

the total corona hysteria. colleges and universities publicly supported with untaxed massive endowments are doing the same. we've got the tax those endowments immediately. but we are not. so cornell university has just decided to shut down its entire campus which normally educates about 25,000 students. technically it's an ivy league school. but according to cornell, they are doing this because of omicron. there is only one recorded death from omicron, not even it was in theu.k., like the dead with omicron. in any place, that person did not go to cornell and the campus is double vaccinated but we've got so irrational that none of that matters. what we have not seen severe illness in any of our students,

one cornell at ministry at her said, we have a role to play in reducing the spread of the disease in the broader community. really? why? cornell would not tell us. they just sent everybody home. what's this doing to kids? nobody cares where this is what happens when you have a society run by people in their 80s who don't care about kids, just honest about that. sacrificing the future of young people because you're afraid, that's what you are doing. it's happening everywhere. you pen in philadelphia, and a statement acknowledge that "there still have not been any documented covert cases of classroom or workplace transmission. okay. but still a total shut down of the school is needed "out of an abundance of caution. everyone at the schools have been double vacs. and they were perfectly, right? these people don't believe these injections work? that's dark.

these schools contradict themselves from one sentence to a next, training our future leaders. according to george washington university, "cases on campus are not severe. nevertheless, "it is critical that we act to limit the further spread of cases. why is it critical? they don't explain! why is it critical? if you don't get a booster shot, you are banned from campus. third vaccination of a vaccine that has not yet worked, you are banned! does that make sense? it makes zero sense. at nyu, they don't need to explain where they just resort to threats by a third-year student at nyu life school was sent this email to the entire student body. "i bet you have classmates of underlying health conditions or if you choose not to wear a mask indoors, you are saying you don't care about any of their lives." you say you believe in signs and you are not insane.

she issued this. this is a student. "report those who don't wear their mask properly. they should be held accountable. reporting mask wearing is an active care." it's the cultural revolution! wake up! the administrators agree. they set up a reporting system to encourage classmates to snitch on each other. whatever happened to "no snitching"? let's get back to that but they want to get the janitor fired if his nose slips below his nose. only salvatori and busboys are going to be in masks because you can't look -- that's what this really is. in the meantime, what is this doing to the people who are supposed to be running the country? young people at elite schools can lay these are our future leaders. and they are crazy. scary. so kyle rittenhouse was trying to defend order in kenosha

because no one else was. the governor refused to send in the national guard. they wanted this riot. and so they had the right. kind rittenhouse showed up to clean up graffiti, the authorities were not therapy people try to kill him. he fought back. and then he was threatened with spending the rest of his life in jail. this is called an arco tyranny. anarchy for you, cheering for them. we did a documentary about this called "the trial of kyle," it's part of the document a series. we spoke to kyle rittenhouse about what happened in the people who made it possible. here's a look. >> don't like you said to the people who own the car lot you said, you want to protect the cars and they said yes. >> i asked the needed any help and asked them yes, they can. >> we are full and ready to defend the property. >> can you step back? >> i'll be the first to admit, i

was a strict lifeguard. i looked more for prevention. if you have to help somebody because of something you can prevented, you suck at your job. the national guard should have been called august 23rd. but the governor failed the community and there should have been a lot more resources to help with that. >> tucker: if authorities had done what kyle rittenhouse did, work to prevent chaos, there would've been no right in kenosha, there be no need for a 17-year-old to take a rifle and try to maintain order. that documentary is now out, you can watch it subscribing you want to watch the whole thing and all of our documentaries.

that's tuckercarlson.com we've got maternity flight suits for pregnant pilots. joe biden is now in the need for a senior military post. has an even weirder idea that will not make the country safer. sounds like identity politics taking over our military. jesse kelly served in our military. he's watching what's happening. he's with that next.

do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friend sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset

that can be sold. we learned we could sell all of our policy, or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. if you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit coventrydirect.com to find out if your policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen. coventry direct, redefining insurance.

christopher >> tucker: christopher grady is joe biden's nominee for a vice chairman of the joint chief of staff's. one of the people overseeing our nation's entire military. at a recent hearing, grady, who is an admiral of some kind, explaining how to make our military competitive a china. >> yes, thank you.

the role of a gender advisor is a way to attack a very significant issue and as confirmed, i look forward to leveraging those advisors who can make me think better and smarter about the issues that you raised. so i look forward to as confirmed understanding that ecosystem and helping advance that cause going forward. >> tucker: christopher grady leverages things in the ecosystem that he inhabitants. this guy claims to be an admiral pair the question is the gender advisor christopher grady is in favor of make our military more admirable? do you think the key to remain competitive with the chinese military is more gender

advisors? >> there's no question, tucker. in china and russia, they are both testing hypersonic missiles that can turn new york city to ash. russia is developing and has developed satellites that can push our satellites out of orbit and completely cripple our military. our military is focused on the important things you want to focus on, climate change, we have to make sure there are enough tampons in the restroom at the pentagon. the one that's kind of what they are saying. i don't know if there is a psychological term for this and it escapes my memory at the moment where there is a massive real threat that you can't deal with, so you scurry off and deal with imaginary threats to make yourself feel in control, that feels like what we are watching. speak what we are watching is a description of the u.s. military and what will end up seeing is thousands hundreds thousands of americans die. we don't need a military that's woman friendly, that's gay

friendly with all due respect to the air force. we need a military that's flat-out hostile. full of type a men who want to sit on a throne of chinese skuls but we don't have that. we can't get women off of naval vessels. most are pregnant anyway. >> so this grady character who who is going to leverage things in ecosystem we just confirmed today, so you wonder about our political leaders who oversee our military. do you think they are interested in defending the country? >> no. you and i have talked about privately a thousand times on your show, that's the problem that plagues america. our admirals, generals, politicians who appoint these people, everything is political. the united states military to them is a way to do woman outreach or gay outreach. they don't have to protect america because they don't give

a crap about america. they'll pass it onto their useless kids once they are gone. >> tucker: i don't think they have kids but i agree with you 100%. it's at this pring. thank you so much for coming on tonight. one father in indiana decided to speak out against the mask mandates. now the school district rather than listening to him has filed a lawsuit to silence him. he's not backing down.

so >> tucker: we are going to start this news update by being as completely as honest and transparent as we can be. of all the creepy and sinister people at cnn, and there are many of those, chris you wouldn't want him doing your taxes or anything like that, but

you can be pretty confident he's probably not plotting against you, he's not feline enough for that. chris clizza is like a loud golden retriever. lots of slobber, to admit that he's completely lost his mind? cnn has been blasting the crudest kind of omicron propaganda, trying to convince that it's a greater people who produce it meanwhile are supposed to know better. but apparently, poor chris cillizza has been tuning into it and he believes it. it's sad to watch. cillizza wrote a piece in an act of wanton cruelty that no one at cnn stopped him from writing, why my cobid explaining that overthanksgivint

everybody who visited his house was vaccinated. then he made all the vaccinated people take covid tests because these vaccines absently work, don't question them. once he did that, he felt better. that was the last day, cillizza writes, that he felt on relatively worried by covid-19. announced with much fanfare the dreaded omicron variant, chris cillizza has been convinced that he will be the first person to die from omicron. after watching the omicron coverage, cillizza writes, i felt emotionally raw, everything from anger, resignation sits heavier on me than thanksgiving dinner a few weeks ago. any optimism i had for the future is shaky at best. life under omicron, turns out, is barely worth living. in the theory leave vaccinated sex in household, it means wearing masks in the living room. no joys in with dread of

foreboding. it's been a long december and i need a reason to believe that next year i can look forward to. it's exhausting paid by the time you are weary, the like albert kim is watching the bubonic plague sweep through algeria. that's what cnn did to the normally cheerful chris cillizza. imagine what it's doing to the rest of the country. damian stafford doesn't need to imagine. he's a parent in an indiana school district whose administrators are patently watch cnn joins us now to explain his experience with that. thanks so much for coming on. to summarize in one sentence and i think this is right, you complained about the masked mandates in your school and the administrators at the school sued you? >> yes, sir. >> tucker: okay parent let's

start at the beginning. what did you say to them about the masked mandates? >> i told him that my children, if they are going to enforce this mess mandate, they need to do it universally. they are not going to disagree with that. we can debate about that, but they are not wanting to listen and because i'm the loudest, i think they are trying to shut me up me up. >> tucker: apparently they are. but when you say, and force it universally, what do you mean? are there some people we don't to wear masks? >> in the morning as they don't make the kids where the masks. they are supposed to. what they say is they do not want to deny any child in education but we all know it so they can get their federal dollars. in the afternoons when my children get on the bus, the bus driver will ask them if they are going to wear the mask and if they say no, he calls administration to remove them from the bus. >> tucker: remove children from the bus for not wearing a mask. i think you have kids in school

districts, what is this doing to kids? having to wear a burqa to school? >> it's absently disgusting. as a disabled veteran who fought for the freedoms for people to choose, it's just absolutely disgusting that this can happen here in america and people need to stand up and say no more. >> tucker: amen. the school district is suing you? on what grounds? >> what they are telling me is i'm not allowed to communicate with any faculty staff or they haven't actually followed through the lawsuit. what they did was a season to see us that are not allowed to communicate with anybody at the school. didn't say in regards to this or regards to that, they just said in general i'm not allowed to communicate with anybody at the school. my first amendment says otherwise. >> tucker: they are allowed to tell your child whatever they want? >> exactly. if i may, sir, i'd like to speak

directly to the american people. >> tucker: please do. >> if these kinds of things, if you think it can happen where you live, you are wrong. whitley county is an amazing place to raise her family. we've got great schools and we do have the best teachers and faculty. unfortunately what has happened, the liberal left has implemented themselves into our education. emboldened by the attorney general merrick garland, former vice president joe biden, and dr. anthony felt cheap. what i'd like to say to them, we are not your peasants, we are not your team. you are done. >> tucker: you speak for so many people and communities like yours filled with great people and great teachers, by the way. i agree with that. but they've been taken over by lunatics. thank you. >> thank you for having me, sir. >> tucker: of course. a reporter from an african's organization has just been iced out of white house press

briefings because he came onto the show. how does that work exactly? doesn't seem like equity. that reporter joins us next.

this is a fox news >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. this show has just received word confirms that there is been some

kind of outbreak of tuberculosis at the offices of goldman sachs in downtown new york city. we've heard this from two people with direct knowledge of what's happening there right now. apparently everyone who's been in contact with anyone infected with the tuberculosis at goldman sachs has been sent home. we've called into goldman, have not yet heard back. it's not a huge deal because is not omicron and tuberculosis never killed anybody, that's why there's no tuberculosis vaccine mandate but maybe that'll change and we'll keep you posted. but for now, and actual disease york. shortly after joe biden named kamala harris his vice president, referred to something that he called the harris-biden administration. biden claimed it's just an innocent mistake. he kept doing it, weirdly. past december, he called kamala harris the president-elect. and in march, biden told reporters, president harris and i took a tour of a vaccination

center a while ago. today, biden was the speaker at the fall commencement ceremony and once again he called harris the "president of the united states." >> all kidding aside, of course president harris is a proud howard alum. >> tucker: look at. you'll find that the official transcript of biden's remarks has been changed to add the word vice in brackets before president harris. that's sad to watch. we bring you all the facts. we'll tell you what else is going on in the white house and this is a pretty interesting story. david simon ateba pointed out a full

story. let -- i just answered... >> i answered a question on this. simon, i answered the question on this. let's let -- it is not effective the scream over your colleagues in here. >> tucker: shortly after that, we invited mr. on the show ateba and since he's been here, we thought we'd talk to him again. simon ateba is on again tonight. you came on the show to explain what's going on here and that put your end of your career as a question asked her in the white house? >> thank you for having me, tucker. since i came when your a few weeks ago, i've not been called on at the white house to ask any questions. i've raised my hand many times. i'm not being called on.

coming on your show doesn't make me left left wing, right wing, any wing, it doesn't make me liberal or conservative or pro-antigovernment. since i've come on this show, told me it's a really bad idea to come on this show some of that have come, we come now for a second time. and you know, today africa is a news organization, the focus is on the u.s.-africa relations. we rely on subscriptions and donations, and sends to cover the white house. going to the question trying to point out that the reason the biden administration by the only african nation, it wasn't based on any science, wasn't based on

anything. and that doesn't really seem good. >> tucker: nobody in africa died of omicron. no resemblance to american politics but you don't cover american politics, you cover the relationship between the united states and african countries which makes sense because you are from africa. are you surprised that you can be banned from asking a question for going on the new show in the united states? >> yes. it's a big surprise because this week, last week the biden administration was talking about the head of democracy's summit and about press freedom. and limits that to real life, it becomes, it's hard for the little guys like me who represent africa in the briefing room not being able to ask questions when they come to africa.

not just asking questions, president biden, the white house has received three african presidents, the president of ghana, the president of kenya, every time the african president came to the white house, african journalists at the white house were not allowed, it was really sad and that can happen here in the u.s. >> tucker: i do not know why i'm laughing. i'm laughing i'm not surprised. i'm sad to hear your reaction to it. much clearer view, i'm embarrassed for my country that this has happened to you. simon ateba, appreciate you coming on and good luck. i hope they lift the ban on you. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: of course. thank you. we are out of time, unfortunately. we can't wait till monday. in the meantime, the trial of

kyle rittenhouse on fox nation, we'll be back 8:00 p.m. to show that is the sworn enemy of lying lying, pomposity, groupthink. have a happy, contented, anxiety free weekend with the ones you love most. we'll see you later. have a great night. ♪ ♪ >> welcome to this special edition of "hannity." i'm jason chaffetz in for sean and tonight, joe biden's build back better social spending spree appears to be on the verge of collapse in the united states senate. democrat divisions are as stark as ever. joe biden and joe manchin are reportedly still weigh apart on key provisions. the senate parliamentarian issue democrats a brutal reali
