really monumental that hurt, and that is tony, tony, tony, the original member, the brothers, rafael siddique, who have not performed in public or i believe at least over 20 years. if you know who they are, i don't care where you are sitting, you're going to get up and start dancing. my drink was sitting at the table. i got up and started dancing because i was feeling the spirit, and i wasn't thinking about a mask. >> jesse: [laughs] these are all great excuses, but i think we have a new contender, courtesy of l.a. mayor eric garcetti. he was caught posing maskless with magic johnson at last weekend's rams game against his own indoor mask orders, but don't worry, he can explain. >> when people ask for a photograph, hold my breath and put it here and people can see that. there is a 0% chance of infection from that. >> jesse: fauci, i think we

have a new one. hold your breath to stop the spread. by the way, if aides didn't kill magic johnson, i don't think he is worried about covid. by the way, we are reviewing dr. fauci's restaurant later in the show so stick around. it all reminds me of another hall of famer. >> i experimented with marijuana a time or two and i didn't like it. i didn't inhale. >> jesse: yes, slick willie. while the snobs enjoyed their maskless dinners at the french laundry and trips to the salon, our students were forced to mask up in school and on the playground. look at these kids. playing instruments through their masks. [laughs] this picture was just taken a few weeks ago, and here, they are practicing in tents. [laughs] if these kids ever decide to take off the masks, school officials go after them, and they go after them really hard. listen to this radical assistant principal in loudoun county, virginia, who's threatening

charging maskless students with trespassing. >> until you arrive, held in an in school restriction situation here at school. they are not allowed on campus or on loudoun county public school property starting tomorrow, it will be considered trespassing. >> jesse: so keep in mind, trespassing is a class one felony in virginia. it holds a 12 month jail sentence or a $2500 fine. we emptied the prisons because of covid, and now we want to fill the prisons with kids because of covid. hmm. but there is good news. that has been the theme since "primetime" launched. we are not taking this lying down anymore. children braver than their own parents are starting to step up. check out what is going on in washington state. this high school there where kids are staging a walkout against these mask mandates. >> we are all walking into the school with no mask on.

you can get me in trouble, they can suspend me, i don't care. we are done with the spirit and obviously all of you are, too. we want this to be a peaceful, respectful movement. we are just trying to gain back our rights as citizens. if a staff member asks you to put a mask on, you say "no thank you" and keep walking, and if they kick you out, then go home. >> jesse: here now, someone who is constantly being fined for not following pelosi's mast mandate, colorado congresswoman lauren boebert. lauren, i think next times you pass nance in the halls of congress and you don't have a mask on, just hold your breath. it works. >> that's right, just like waiting to exhale garcetti and blame it on the salon owner pelosi, you know, jesse, i am just so proud of these young men and women who are standing up and being a voice for millions of students who feel the same way. >> jesse: and it's funny that they are the ones fighting back, some of their parents are still

cowering in their own basements. if enough students go into a school with the mandate and they are not masked, what are they going to do? it is power in numbers, it is civil disobedience. do you actually think they are going to throw high school students in prison? >> no, it is unbelievable how extreme it has been so far, but we needed someone to stand up and say it first, and i am so glad it is the kids that are saying enough is enough in the schools, this is why i ran for congress because i was so frustrated by what was happening and i decided to do something, just like they are. good on those students for standing up to antiscience school bureaucrats and saying kiss my mask, we are done with this. biden is too busy playing president on his oval office playset to realize there is a revolution afoot. it started with parents at school boards. bennett was the truckers in the streets. now it is the students standing up for their medical rights.

schools are mandating masks not based on facts but on fear, and it is not about the science, it is about the political science. >> jesse: couldn't have said it better myself. when you are now getting fined on the regular by nancy for not wearing a mask, how much are the spines costing you? >> well, jesse, the first fine is $500, and then every find thereafter is $2500. i told nancy pelosi to kiss my mask a long time ago. i'm not putting up with this. congresswoman thomas massie has a lawsuit that other members have signed on to. i was not fined before that lawsuit started so i did not have standing to join them, but i am really hoping they are going to be successful in this because it is completely unconstitutional what is taking place in the house of representatives, and jesse, it's absolutely political theater. it is only where the c-span cameras are rolling that members are fine, and if you go to the senate chambers, well, the air must be extra purified there.

because there is no fine whatsoever. >> jesse: so you are saying the democrats when they are not on camera on c-span have their masks off, that is what you are telling me? >> jesse come all throughout the capital, yes, yes, yes. as soon as they come off the chamber floor, the house floor, the masks come off and the b.s. is over. you know, just like in the real world, facts are stubborn and hard to ignore. just looking at our children, the fact is that since the start of covid, 748 total deaths have happened to young americans ages 0-17. let's compare that to the 2400 teenagers that died from a car crash, or this 2600 teenagers that have died from suicide, from these unjust lockdowns, depressing them, but i don't see little fauci or the center for democratic control, a.k.a. the cdc, trying to outlaw cars or social media. >> jesse: i would agree. and if you see a democrat

without a mask on, send us a photo. we will put it on. thank you, congresswoman. >> hey, jesse. i'm boebert and this is my blog. >> jesse: oh, wow, this is getting crazy in here. >> congrats on "primetime," jesse. >> jesse: i know you're getting find a lot now but i'm happy because you are setting to steal my thunder. >> there you go. >> jesse: breaking news about men who become women. that is next. ♪ ♪

south dakota in our k-12 system and at our college level, we are going to ensure those girls have a chance to compete. >> jesse: is there any wiggle room here? because there are some issues with the ncaa and sponsorships and boycotts. is this thing airtight? >> it is, and what it does is it allows the girls that didn't make the team because a biological male made the team, it allows them the chance to go after litigation for the opportunity to play. it doesn't create a trial lawyer's dream and create a lot of new, litigious opportunities. what it does is say, i want an opportunity to play, and it gives them a chance to cop a challenge that school district to be part of that team. >> jesse: i think everyone knows how much i dislike trial lawyers and how much i love my daughters, and how much i want my daughters to win, and win in a fair way, and i think that is important. we want to compete, and we want to compete fairly, so hopefully what you have done there in

that. so i have the menu right here. you are right, it is good value. you get the 16-ounce veal chop, only $36. that's pretty good for a veal chop. what did you have? >> so i had chicken al gnocci, which i believe had pine nuts and mushrooms and it was wonderful. >> jesse: did you have to show your vaccination card? i'm sure you must have. >> this is san francisco, after all, the home of the most extreme and crazy and unjustified lockdown in the country. a mask when you walk in. of course, that totally keeps everyone safe, even though when you sit down and you take it off. vaccine cards all around, show your papers. also, there was a very interesting item on the menu that i was convinced was italian for gain of function but i don't know, we didn't get to order that appeared >> jesse: [laughs] i mean, we could have some fun with this menu. they have all kinds of things

that they could just juice up into something that just spreads throughout the world. i don't know, are you expecting us to pay for this? are you expensing "primetime"? >> i enjoyed it. it was a nice evening out. i'm very happy to have done it for you, jesse, and by the way, i love food. it is their way of saying i am very greedy. if there is a gig going as your restaurant reviewer, i am there. >> jesse: you know what, i like having a british guy review an italian restaurant. i think it works perfectly. >> there you go. >> jesse: we are not trying to tell everybody, you know, boycott the restaurant. listen, the food looks good. it is just ironic that fauci is a restaurateur when he is so busy bending the curve, or whatever he wants to do. did you hold your breath in there? because apparently if you hold your breath now, that slows the spread.

>> eric garcetti, mayor of l.a., that's right, you can get your picture taken. all through that video i was shooting for you -- by the way, got to send a video credit to my son, who shot that video, very proud of that. very excited to see his work make it to the screen. >> jesse: it was a family affair. all right, thank you so much, steve, and yes, we will be sending -- the french laundry is next. that we are definitely not paying for it. all right, we found out a secret about democrats and fox news. we will tell you that next, and read some of your texts. ♪ ♪ at vanguard, you're more than just an investor, you're an owner with access to financial advice, tools and a personalized plan that helps you build a future for those you love. vanguard. become an owner.

snacking can mean that pieces get stuck under mike's denture. but super poligrip gives him a tight seal. to help block out food particles. so he can enjoy the game. super poligrip. >> jesse: fox news just celebrated 20 years at the number one. the first cable news channel in history to hit that landmark. it's been an honor and a privilege to crush cnn and

msnbc, especially cnn. but it's a team effort as they say over at pbs, we couldn't do this without viewers like you. now, a lot of the hutu and in our conservatives, independents, and we appreciate you. but there's a demographic who apparently can't get enough of fox. democrats. and i'm not just talking about my own mom. i didn't believe this either, but we've seen the data. they may not admit it to their friends, but they are watching us. and they are watching us a lot more than they are watching cnn and msnbc. the latest numbers from nielsen show in october fox commanded 42% of democrat viewers between 25 and 54. while cnn only had 33%. msnbc? what do they mean? it may be we are not so different, you and died. so democrats, your secret is out. and that is okay.

we know you are watching and we are here for you. and we want to hear from you, so text me. the number is right here at the bottom of the screen. we are going to chat this time tomorrow. we are going to play voice mails tomorrow as well, so definitely listen for that. first, randy, is it true that the u.s. bobsled team rename to their sled "biden" because nothing has taken america downhill faster. not true, but that's good. john from st. augustine, florida, maybe cnn should just try to build back better. [laughs] that's a good idea. curtis from texas, doesn't anybody see what the left is doing? they want to empty and closed prisons like they have with mental health facilities, dump everyone on the streets, and let citizens suffer. it certainly seems that way. linda from spring hill florida put that professor in jail with a life sentence. to see if that man changes his mind on. i think that would do it.

lastly, gg from coatesville pennsylvania, jesse, you are the best. we gave up jeopardy and wheel of fortune to watch your show. that is all for tonight. "tucker carlson tonight" is up next and remember, i am waters, and this is my world. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." you may remember that glenn youngkin became governor of virginia last month. youngkin was elected in part because he promised to let parents decide whether or not their kids wear masks and schools. voters want to bet. true to his word, almost immediately after he was sworn in, youngkin band mask mandates and schools. no one was surprised by the spirit that is how democracy is supposed to work. voters want something, they ask for it,
