being made in america? disgrace. they are made in china, but everything is. who ties your ties, if it's you great job. i'm not hannity, i can tie my own ties. that's our folk tonight, tucker carlson is up next, remember, i'm waters, and this is my world . ♪ >> tucker: welcome to tucker carlson. happy friday. if you've been following the news at all recently you know vladimir putin is just seconds away from invading our closest friend in the world. first the russians come from yo

can. in bakersfield, what he plans next will make red dawn look like a documentary. of course, defenders of democracy everywhere or horrified by this and ready to fight. nato, his job it is to contain russia. for patriotic americans are not waiting for nato, that's not their way. according to recent buzz feed, american citizens are joining the fight on their own. it's their spanish civil war, they are paying their way to ukraine to defend the ukrainian people against the dastardly russian hordes. strangely, and this is weird, n confirmation tonight that david frum, max boot, and liz cheney have left yet. may be they are still oiling their rifles and gathering thei kit, or maybe they have decided to man the cable news barricade. just because they're technicall behind the line, doesn't make their serverless list perilous

or important. the sacrifices they are now making, we plan to cover that ceremony live. in the meantime, joe biden seem most worried of all, he's so panicked about what is about to happen to ukraine, he makes bil kristol seem understated and restrained. that's not surprising, he's got access to all the latest intel, delivered to him daily by that weapons of mass destruction daily at the cia. >> this week he got so concerne after reading what they delivered him, he so worried about what's about to happen to ukraine, that he called the president of ukraine to warn hi about his fate, and then someon in the intel community leaked the transcript of that call to cnn. not for the first time. here it is. >> breaking news on our senior ukrainian officials said today' phone call between president biden and ukrainian president did not go well. our source tells cnn the two

disagreed about the immediacy o the threat of a russian attack on ukraine for the u.s. and pentagon have been emphatic the believe attack could be imminen per the white house just released its own readout of tha call and there was no mention o president biden's warnings or the two presidents disagreements ? acute it looks like there is daylight between the two closes leaders, brothers, really in that suggest there might be a breach of the unbreakable bond forced over centuries between the ukraine and the united states for it listen to this, she did this reporting. quote per senior ukrainian official, biden told the president that the russian invasion of ukraine is certain.

joe biden is worried about russia than the president of ukraine is? it looks that way. because not long after that reporting, he deleted that tweet . cnn qualifies as reporting and here's what it said where the white house on biden is called third anonymous sources are leaking sources for the only source should be sacked is thos that our pretrade an accurate portrayal of this conversation. end quote. not an actual denial, therefore it's true. an amazing sequence if you thin about it. biden tells the ukrainian president's capital city is about to be sacked like rome in the fifth century, fires, spheres, swords, a horrible scene. and ukrainian response to this

is calm down, you're freaking m out very tough and upcoming you sound like a terrified old woman . the white house claims that never happened very clearly it did because, the president said virtually the same thing to the media. >> we talked to the president, we have talked to think it has to be a balanced approach. i'm not saying that he is influencing american media, being dependent, but the media policy has there has to be if they want to know what the situation is, they can come here . they can come to kyiv, do we have tanks and the streets? no, the that image they create is that we have troops on the road, people are leaving for places and that's not the case. we don't need this panic. >> is so david frum and joe biden over the future of ukrain that they are flying to ukraine to whistler lives in defense of

that secret nation sovereignty. they're is the president of ukraine saying we are not that concerned. what can we infer from this? if you are not terrified about the prospect of the russian invasion of the ukraine, the question is who's side are you on? we have the answer to that question. you are on the side of vladimir putin. it looks like the president of the ukraine himself has been compromised russian misinformation. the ukrainian president, is an agent of putin, that means the russians are so diabolically effective, they have recruited the guy they are preparing war against. how clever is that? it would take a slavic mind to pull that off. yes, we are calling the president of the ukraine and agent of putin. we can empathize because you know if you watch the eda, we are agents. fox's cheap propaganda saying

the u.s. should be siding with russia over ukraine. what, you may say come up members congress are actually phone calls encouraging them to side with russia because they are watching right wing media and people like tucker carlson. >> went tucker carlson delivere this message, it's dangerous. >> tucker seems to have some sort of larger pattern here wit tyrants that lean to the right. >> why is he so committed and why is fox news on his behalf s committed to tearing down the american embrace and alignment with the world's democracies? >> tucker is utterly shameless. if he had the capacity to fill any shame, he should be embarrassed by what he just sai because he is basically repeating rank russian propaganda. >> in his final domestic television appearance before he

hits to the ukraine to defend that territory himself from the aggression of vladimir putin. watch him while you can. let's be clear,. if you had the wisdom of siding and a war in eastern europe wit one country over another, you are by definition an agent of the single greatest democracy o this globe, mister vladimir putin himself great you are treasonous. the congressman of new jersey i claiming that viewers of this show, russian robots, reached out to his office and did something that should probably be illegal. they said maybe we shouldn't go to war with the ukraine. >> can you tell us about the phone calls your office is getting?

>> sure, it really started yesterday. i was in my district office in new jersey and phones were ringing in my district director came to me and said i just spen an hour on the phone with like for people telling me they had watched terkel carlson last night and why are we going to b going to war for ukraine, russi is making reasonable proposals for peace. >> a lot of people have said he's not the sharpest sharpest knife and the drawer, even by the standards of new jersey. he makes a really good point, there are people out there who look around and decide may be, don't know, homelessness, close to a million people living in the street in the united states. 100,000 americans dying of drug ods, inflations, our schools haven't talked anything in over two years.

the question he raises is why would they ever think that? why would they get the idea tha they are stupid parochial domestic concerns are more important than the ukraine's eastern border. the answer is vladimir putin. that would be as doing flatware putin's bidding. some perspective tonight, clearly we've lost it since we're working for russia. we are joined by stu seller, th longtime lieutenant colonel in the marine corps who famously left service for telling the truth very recently. thank you for coming. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: is someone who did multiple deployment of multiple countries, you were sort of on the fighting end of max boost plans. i wonder if it is surprising to

you that almost nobody is calling for involvement in this conflict is thinking of the consequences of it. >> that's a good question, nato hasn't even stepped up to four shows. the secretary of defense didn't even address that when they tal about the 8500 troops they are mobilizing. they did say they would be part of a nato force that again hasn't been stood up, so quite honestly i'm confused what we'r talking about at this point. >> right, so nato, i have never figured out what nato's job is. but roughly it is to take keep russia under control. if russia's out-of-control you would think they would be the first to fight, but they're not so what does that mean exactly? >> nato was stood up after woul roll to to prevent russian aggression but since 1990 with the soviet union fell ended 91 with countries like ukraine we're created, we had in advanc of nato countries, so poland,

romania, these countries on ukraine's borders are actual nato member spurred the ukraine is not am nato member, there nato partner, and when you hear the speak they talk about a nat ally, but they don't differentiate between a member and a partner. ukraine is not a nato member. hence nato has not stood up the force yet, so right now america is getting spun up, and i quite honestly don't understand the law get logic or the endgame which is why i asked to come an talk to your audience. >> it's interesting to hear fro you specifically because you ha to leave a job you love after 1 jobs 17 years i think is a marine corps officer because yo asked a question, is anybody learning anything from the disaster of our afghanistan withdrawal. i'm wondering, shouldn't we pause, learn may be some lesson from that sad chapter before we progress onto the next one? >> 100 percent.

the same people who advised the afghanistan withdrawal are advising right now and we need to take a hard look at what we're trying to accomplish. we need to signal very clearly what our intentions are. the reason we went to desert shield and desert storm as we didn't signal to saddam hussein that headley invaded kuwait tha we would respond with military force for the same thing is happening right now we are mobilizing 8500 troops without the nato force even being stood up no one clearly understands what we're trying to accomplish and i think that if russia was to invade because we can't even come to a clear understanding o what's happening because i don' think the generals have a clear plan or are advising correctly, we could end up in a much worse position than we are now. >> you made reference to the troops being wrecked i'd like t be clear on what eastern europe means, we have a clip of joe biden saying that just a short time ago. >> have you decided how soon yo would be moving it troops to eastern europe?

>> i will be moving them when the nato countries [inaudible]. >> without getting into all the technical aspects of nato and what it's authorized to do and not do, it seems like what is the point if we have to put american troops unilaterally to eastern europe. >> i have read the russians national security strategy and the biggest threats facing them from their perspective is nato. hence whenever a border countries tries to seek membership, they try to destabilize a person very think that nato is there to prevent i exacerbating the problem. we need to take a hard look at what nato is supposed to do. the other thing is the amount o money the united states throws at nato is crippled our europea partners that should be leading this fight. our european partners that should be standing up to nato forces that are currently, the united states is the only one

where the ukrainian president i saying calm down, we seem to be stirring this up ourselves without really fully understanding the bigger picture . >> exactly. it's been 80 years, but i think we can trust western europe wit guns now. i hope you find another. as we told you last night, he's a billionaire that wants to change your country, and of course, he's not doing anything to change america, but he spending over $100 million to affect the outcome of our midterm elections.

the pandemic made teaching and learning really hard. but instead of working to help students safely return to the classroom, the san francisco school board focused on renaming schools and playing politics. and they've even saddled our district with a $125 million deficit.

♪ >> a self-described atheist who doesn't comfort care for israel it is today we learn from the braided political hacks at the adl, if you dare to criticize his political program in any way , you are an anti-semite. so shut up and let him completely reorganize your society without your consent. that what billionaires have a right to do great not that that he's doing that. not at all. any suggestion to the contrary is criminal bigotry. once again, be quiet. that's what we learned yesterday . then, hilariously, less than 24 hours after the adl totals it was moral and has more politica

power than anybody else, we saw this story. according to no less than political, sources throwing $125 million into a midterm elections in an attempt to control the outcome. are you doing that? no, he is. that will go to candidacy want to keep the borders open per george soros explained that his father is spending this money because of what happened on january 6. it turns out the working class americans who showed up in washington that day to demand representation quote revealed the magnitude of the threat to our democracy. right, because real democracy i when foreign-born billionaires who heat your country get to make the decisions for you. that's democracy keep that in mind. so not every country is like ours, and in hungary the countr is not hostile to other governments but for its own people. and that is massively offensive

to george soros great he is using a sympathetic and to attack the prime minister of hungary, victor or von hit by the way often described as a radical is about as radical as conservative democrat might hav been in 1992. not radical at all. neither is that country. so the journalists you claim this site the research that say that is of threat to the press. they're is massive opposition t the president and prime ministe in hungary, unlike here where there's almost unanimous suppor for our presidents. so we went to hungary to see what this hellhole was like, an we shot a documentary. it's the season finale of arc tucker carlson original series. here is a look at hungary versu soros, the fight for civilization that you can watch for free on tuckercarlson.com.

>> not surprisingly, the ulee has waged war. >> they portray us as the black sheep. when i decided to move here, my colleagues looked at me as if i was moving to north korea. >> reporters without borders, and shield organization partly funded by george soros, provoke an eu attack by accusing him of silencing opposition media. >> a colleague of mine that tol me openly, and hungry, and the other man was jailing journalis something that never ever happened. >> has gone to war with the media. >> it's alive. >> i went to the place where th papers are deposited, and i ask the shopkeepers to give all the peepers which are criticizing m

far more against is then for us it's obvious on an everyday experience, that the media is critical. could get we were hungary for ten days don't just listen to us , the professor of dallas who has been living in joins us, thank you so much for coming on. so, the description of hungary in the united states from the people who control the conversation about foreign policy come up most of them is of this kind of totalitarian health scape where there's no rights whatsoever. even living there, what are you impressions? >> thank you so much for having me on. it's been an eye-opener living here. i've been living here since september. the thing that is so obvious is that so many things that we use

to be able to take for granted in the united states, the importance of family life, the identity of men and women, the strong borders of the country, the confidence of its national identity, although those are still present here and looking back on america from hungary, i is clear that it doesn't have t be that way. it is possible even in the modern world to have a society which takes the important thing seriously. it's not a mystery, it doesn't take hundreds of millions of dollars of spending on difficul policy research to come up with great ways to secure your border , it's just a decision. they're are all sorts of political division in this country. it's not an authoritarian dictatorship, but there are certain fundamental commitments i think that are shared across the society and those are no long tagger for granted in the west. i think that is why so many

western societies and media outlets our in essence trying t hide the truth about it. >> i'm in the media business, s that's the part i focus on is the description of the media environment affair. is someone who is in the small opposition in this country, i noticed people who oppose victo or bond and many of them do in budapest, our treated with far more respect, gentleness, they're treated far better than people that pose the biden administration. have you noticed them? >> that is true. it is a strict quite strong culture of political debate. they are debated across the press. they're is not that regime of strict censorship or the imposition of one idea. they're is still an ability to debate different policy options across the spectrum.

that is one thing they have started to disrupt in our country in the united states, i think we have a long tradition of good civil society institutions that are trying to make a difference in society an advocate for a particularly policy agenda, but that whole nexus of organizations has now gotten so heavily funded, so easily able to project itself around the world that it's able to bring about policy changes that really no one wants, so being here and seeing as societ where those good things are still taken for granted makes that clear. >> and just the democracy is when tax-free billionaires controlled by. professor, thank you. >> so jim acosta learned a new word this week. the word is democracy unfortunately he didn't learn the definition of the word. we have the highlights next.

>> tucker: congress still has a billion dollars for infrastructure. we learned yesterday due to the vice president unemployed husband that actually it is a gritty. what about the bridges. a lot of this country are on the verge of collapse. he's going to fix all the bridges are in the city of pittsburgh. watch. >> i didn't realize that is literally more bridges in pittsburgh than any other city in the world. i knew there were a lot of bridges. i had no idea. were going to fix the mall. this is not a joke. >> tucker: and you didn't know that? we thought that you were the cole miner from western pennsylvania. joe biden learns something every day that he forgets. this morning he landed in pittsburgh and it as he did a

bridge in the city collapsed and tragically injured ten people. rusk are workers had to repel nearly 150 feet to reach people so they didn't fall down the ravine. that the timing of the collapse could not have been worse for joe biden. >> it's overwhelming. i don't know what the thing. we don't normally get this type of excitement. the infrastructure is for and at the same time president biden is arriving today to talk about infrastructure, which is an amazing coincidence. >> tucker: the equity is doing great. we are happy to have him join us tonight. i don't want to make light or politicize the injuries. but talk about a sign. this is just a continuation as we see the bridges collapse. and they've not exactly been a

priority. the thing about this today, tucker, as i was watching this. as we think about the lies, this infrastructure bill was a live. it was a gateway to the green new deal. so as our leaders lie to us, juxtapose that against all the money, the trillions that they stole from the american people to find their foreign wars and in their nation building. all to watch that collapse overnight. but the war in the nation is a priority for the ruling class in actually doing things for the betterment of everyday americans . and i think people are going it's because the leadership has been a little bit asleep at the wheel and the going to -- our borders are overrun. and i have been in dc for over 20 years now. you don't understand, most of the people in dc prioritizing the american people and they have no interest in that. they view the american people a fund to fund their priorities, green new deal grab will list

wish fun. the american people are an afterthought and whatever i come as the door to the peasant, they might be happy with that. >> >> tucker: these are people that they are totally unfamiliar with. you think of the change by wishing it. of other people live or die or the bridges stand or fall down, it is like development in the grand dreams of equity. >> these are people that are detached from reality and this is a problem you have with the credentials of videography that's actually been given power to run this country, which is a real shame of what is taking plays. now that they have power with any inability to solve problems for the american people. i think more the american people are starting to wake up and say we didn't sign up for this, whether it's at the school board liberal or federal level. we are dealing with a class of idiots i hope that people in midterms relates we have to make better choices in leadership or we've will have our country

columbia ruling as these people chase unicorns and type dreams. >> tucker: or higher self-esteem for themselves. gas price of a bucks in california. lower the gas price. ned ryun, thank you. jim acosta learned a new work this week. that doesn't happen very often. when it does, he shows up his new vocabulary like a dog in the living room with roadkill. and the word he'd learned is called democracy. jim acosta has no idea what that word means but he does like the sound of it. so he showed up the new word on his new show on cnn, which most of america didn't see, but we did. >> this is democracy in peril, exposing ongoing trust our democracy post insurrection as we go into another election season. mistakes could -- the stakes could not be higher. our democracy could be in peril and they're putting it on a collision course with got those what.

to sound the alarms that american democracy is still very much in danger when you talk to the trump supporters, do they have any idea for an alternative to democracy? maybe it is dictatorship. art democracy is back in the winter of our content. all of while ignoring its impact on our democracy and a cent and to further chaos in peril as we highlighted throughout the week, the need to save our democracy is dire and urgent. >> you've got a watch that show. you follow that. it is democracy's winter of discontent. 's on a collision course with peril and it's highly threatening a troubling and a big way. you could die on the table only to get carted off to the city morgue and get dunked in a pop or pro se grave, forgotten, like that homeless why no one. for all the times you gave them change and times you cannot recall. whatever happened to that guy? he is buried in the ground.

he is buried with democracy. honestly you should watch jim acosta's show. >> in canada truckers who have had a look watch the free country turn into an authoritarian country, are told their freedom can't buy on the way to the capital, one trucker in that convoy. ♪♪

>> tucker: if you watch cnn rate to me, you know how dangerous the information is. there's people out there that we call the missed information at two still think the last election is unfair or dealt the effectiveness of the vaccine. we will deal with those people later. first we want to show you what this information is him. misinformation is not pregnant man. that's real because in the real world many men can get pregnant

if they don't take the proper precautions. watch out, he could happen to you. apple and iphones updates include of warning, pregnant man emoji and the scene your screen right now. for the extra cost of the emoji committee has pregnant percy emoji these because you can also get pregnant if you don't have a gender. shot up, just let it happen. you can imagine how national public radio is taking this development. like christmas in the newsroom. for an update on their reaction in the coming days. so content of the convoy of truckers converging to keep that nation free is growing larger by the day. vancouver on the western side of the country on sunday, the vaccine mandates -- among other things. that took effect on january 15, preparatory to a world wide regional travel pass. patrol control passports to

everybody links to your -- if you can see the peach bring clear outline right now, you are not paying attention but the truckers in canada can. the canadian trucking alliance estimates roughly 16,000 truckers in canada are not vaccinated. that convoy also includes truckers who are vaccinated were not going to stand for tierney. here's what the convoy it looks like. >> the start of the vaccine mandates but for most of it is about a lot more. >> i think it is more of a freedom movement. >> well over a thousand people lining the transcanada high way outside winnipeg in minus 30 when chilled protesting what they call government overreach. >> somebody has to stand up for canada and the truckers are doing it. >> it all started a couple days ago, truckers protesting vaccine mandates at the border. now it's a convoy and is getting more support. >> were tired of getting our freedoms talked about.

arriving outside winnipeg, hundreds of vehicles taking more than an hour to pass. >> what you think of that? >> there going to take the country back. >> it was peaceful. >> it's eight togetherness like it never felt before. >> and he keeps growing. >> thank god he keeps growing. so what is the reaction? a cartoonist the washington post accused the truck drivers of action. they put the worlds richest man, censoring sensory anybody who doesn't agree with him. includes its own region of workers like service. they're telling you people who peacefully assembled to express political opinions are fascists. tilted is not a fascist. he's a member of the freedom

movement and for grateful to have him join us tonight from ontario. thank you so much for coming on. fascist. so tell us why you are doing this. >> well, probably mostly for the same reasons a lot of these other guys are. there's just been a stifling of freedom in canada for a few years. a lot of people are down. a lot of people are fired. you can deepen go into a grocery store without getting into an argument about a mask or whatnot so what really drove me to do this is the smiling faces on the people that organized it. a good friend of mine help put this together and it is just been wonderful to see all the smiling faces that up come together and it doesn't matter, christian, non-christians, all sort of natives banging their

drums. just a wonderful sensation to see unity once again in canada. >> it's beautiful to watch from below your border. i have to say you are being snarled that but you are smiling back. the government seems to be doing all it can to prevent you from peacefully protesting, speaking of fascist policy. are you worried about the repercussions? >> not at all. not at all. some of my friends have been arrested in the past and we are fully prepared to smile and push through for the greater good, tucker. we want to see christ glorified in the church and out of the church. so we are pushing forward. >> tucker: you see much more like a civil rights hero than a fascist to me. are any media in canada supporting you or a lease arguing that you should have a right to express your views? >> not that i know of, tucker. i think that news --

but the mainline media is much the same in usa. these guys are not our friends. they're coming after us and they are slandering really good people and some of the stuff they are saying about really good people and driving their names through the mud is shameful. so no fascists here. moms and dads and kids, bonfire beside me. the convoy came through here about half an hour ago. mom and dad for the kids enjoying a fire. they hang out for a very long time. >> tucker: is a thrilling to see this having watched canada. is such a wonderful country and to see a descendent of this darkness and to see you standing up cheerfully just really is affirming. so thank you. sheldon andreas, good luck. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> tucker: a funeral held today in the truck for at that murdered new york police officer
