. [inaudible] thank you. >> time to read just one text message. this is michael from tucson, arizona. hi, jesse. how texts do you get each show? >> tens of thousands. tens of thousands. it's unbelievable and you guys are keeping it cleaner, so thank you. tucker is up next. always remember, i'm waters and this is "my world." >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson. there is a lot happening in the news. here's one item that we noticed. canada canceled democracy last night and the markable thing is no one in this country seemed to notice that it happened. as justin trudeau declared marshal law in response to an entire peaceful protest. our news media barely noted that it had happened. weirdist of all the state

department, didn't say a single word as democracy in canada ended. that's pretty weird if you think about it. canada is not some exotic faraway land with an alien culture and unintelligible language. it's not ukraine. canada is our neighbor, our trading partner. it's our closest ally on earth. our vice president grew up in canada. so did half of our comedians, actors and senators. it's the longest border in the world, stretching 5,500 miles so on every level we're deeply intertwined with canada when we notice it or not. what happens there matters here. if nothing else it's a preview of what will likely happen in the united states. so with that in mind you should know that trudeau is no longer the prime minister of canada. he's canada's maximum leader, its strongman. trudeau is the dictator of

canada. if you think that's an overstatement try to think of another way to describe what justin trudeau is now doing. for the first time in canada's history he's invoked what's known as the emergencies act, although the protest he's facing hardly qualifies as an emergency but suddenly he has the power to crush all political opposition to his rule and that's exactly what he's doing. he's ended free speech in canada. he's banned free assembly. he's shut down political rallies and arrested his political critics without probable cause. trudeau has instituted internal passports that restrict travel within canada to the politically obedient. canadians are no longer allowed to leave their own country unless they obey justin trudeau and if they don't obey they could be bankrupted. no court order is required to do this. he just decides. he can even dictate what you do

for a living and how you do it. today trudeau threatened to arrest tow truck drivers. is this really about stopping the spread of coronavirus. no one in canada is even pretending that it is anymore. trudeau himself didn't mention the risk of covid a single time. he's not worried about truckers spreading a virus. he's worried about canadiens exist 0resisting his rule. they plan to regulate cryptocurrency forever. watch. >> we're broadening the scope of canada's anti-money laundering, and terrorist financing rules so they cover crowd funding platforms and the payment service providers they use. >> these changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies. >> the illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowd

funding platforms and some of their payment service providers that they use are not fully captured under the terrorist financing act. >> tucker: oh, that was a law passed to defeat al qaeda. now it's being used to stop law-abiding canadiens, law-abiding people, from protecting their earnings from the total mismanagement of canada's central bank. trudeau has wrecked the canadian economy but thanks to the terrorist financing act there is no escape from the consequences. canadians will have to liver with the consequences of trudeau's recklessness whether they want to or not. otherwise, they are terrorists. it shouldn't surprise you that trudeau's first move in the face of a trucker protest was to clamp down on cryptocurrency. democrats will try that in thissy, guaranteed. they will say crypto is a russian plot. watch it happen.

at the same time, you've got to wonder since we're speaking of terrorism what happened to the actual terrorists? those do exist, how is trudeau treating them? let's see. a few years ago trudeau gave more than $10 million in taxpayer money in a settlement to a self-described al qaeda soldier. he murdered a u.s. army sergeant. murdering a u.s. army sergeant is bad but it not as bad as criticizing trudeau so he did not freeze his account. instead he just made him rich and moved on. when anti-christian arsonists burned more than 50 churches across canada he did not declare an emergency. instead he issued a statement. are you beginning to see how this works? in a dictatorship the only real crime is opposing the regime. so how did all of this happen so quickly in a country as nice and as moderate in canada?

it happened the way it always happens. maximum aggression and limited popular support. justin trudeau won re-election last year with less than a third of the national vote. in fact, he finished the election behind his main competitor, thanks to quirks in the parliamentary system trudeau took power anyway and immediately began to crack down on anyone who opposed him. trudeau had relatively few supporters but they turned out to be the right supporters. they were the people with power. the woman, for example, you just saw announcing the crackdown on cryptocurrency is canada's prime minister but before that, she used to write for the washington post. she's married to a "new york times" reporter. why is that relevant? because you see the starring role media organizations have played in the death of canadian democracy. the other day, for example, somebody happened the data base of the crowd funding web site give-fund-go and then revealed the names of people who donated to the truckers protesting in

ottawa. you've got to ask yourself, who would have the tech savvy and the political motive to do something like that? state intelligence agencies would. in fact, we can't think of anybody else. it would be interesting to find out who did it. it's a big part of the story but media companies seem curiously uninterested. instead they immediately started using this stolen information to intimidate the donors. anyone who dared to send money to justin trudeau's political opponents was unmasked in public, shamed and inevitably threatened because that's what happens. trudeau's state tv channel has been working on this retribution project all day long. they know who their enemies are and who their master is. it's trudeau. but canada's post newspaper is doing the same thing. supposedly independent of the government but they are still doing it. in this country, internal shame has been doing the same thing. so what do all of these media companies have in common? they are all squarely on the side of entrenched power against

the population they supposedly serve. these the ochs of what journalism was designed to do. that's the opposite of what journalism was dyes to do but at this point it's the rule not just here but around the world. politicians and big business all align against voters, against you. have you noticed? earlier this week the cbc warned canadiens that the word "freedom" has become common among far right groups. only q-anon only wants freedom. media organizations have beenage stating against democracy for years now. even as they posed loudly as its greatest defenders. in february 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, they ran this headline. anti-vaxers are terrified the government will enforce a vaccine for coronavirus. anti-vaxed groups on social media are claiming that the spread of the disease will read this mandatory vaccinations and unlimited surveillance. yes.

those conspiracy nuts. now that all of that has actually happened, they don't apologize, saying they will hurt anyone who complains about it in. object, 2020, the cdc warned canadiens about a disinformation campaign that "falsely suggests canadiens will be forcibly sent to quarantine sites." a few months later as if on cue the trudeau government began sending people to quarantined sites but they never apologized for the disinformation. instead they set about enforcing trudeau's latest decrees. they see that as their job. so this academic community, these are the university professors who have been granted lifetime job security precisely so they can think for themselves independent of government control yet in practice no one is more controlled by the government than they are. here's a professor from canada's carlton university, an institution heavily funded by

justin trudeau telling cnn's viewers how dangerous and immoral it is to criticize trudeau in any way. watch. >> i think it's important to remember that at the core of this protest, it was never about mandates in the first place. it's always been about a small group of people who called -- who hold very anti-government views as well as kind of racist and white supremacist views, conspiratorial world views. >> oh, they hold anti-government views. that's the crime. but isn't holding anti-government views allowed in a democracy? in fact, isn't the measure of democratic government the degree which you're allowed to question the people in charge. that used to with the definition of democracy. it's not anymore. certainly not on cnn. the cnn anchor who heard that just nodded. yes, indeed, it's a scary problem when canadiens disagree with trudeau. arrest them. on they are telling trudeau to

stop with the half measures the problem with canada is, it's not authoritarian enough. time to get the stick and start hurting people. watch this. >> i do have to ask one question of the liberal prime minister in canada. >> seriously. >> i'm sorry. if i'm a mayor, i'm a prime minister, your trucks get on my city streets, they are not going to stay there a week. no. no. no. there is going to be somebody with a stick banging on the window, you've got one or two options. you move this thing or we're going to take you to jail, impound this and fine your company. move it or lose it. >> tucker: settle down, tough guy there. will be someone there with a stick. it's interesting, it's always the very same people who call for violence. it's almost like it excites them. that's not a good sign. so clearly there is an appetite for canadian-style tyranny in

this country. how long till we get it? this morning we learned that american intelligence agencies are trying to censure a website called zero hedge. unnamed sources told the associated press off the record that zero hedge was "spreading russian propaganda by which they meant criticizing joe biden." they can't have that. how long before they pull zero hedge off the internet? how long before they try the same thing with biden's other critics, all of whom have also been accused of working for putin. and when that does happen, when these voices are silenced what will we call it then? cnn will describe it as a necessary national security measure but it's not that it's tyranny. by the way, since when does the c.i.a. get to decide what websites americans read? are there any civil libertarians left in this country, old fashion liberals, anyone? what do they think of this. maybe they don't notice it. in their defense it's hard to notice sometimes with leaders like biden and trudeau.

they don't look threatening. not the hollywood version of fascist. look at trudeau. he's absurd. the 1970s hair cut, all those outfits, when he feels like playing dress up. he doesn't look dangerous. he looks ridiculous but maybe trudeau is smarter than he looks. leaders like biden and trudeau avoid the usual tells. they don't use armies to invade other countries, for example. instead they promote color revolutions and control foreign governments from afar. that's exactly what they did in the ukraine which became a far more oppress stiff place once joe biden began running it and he does run the ukraine. make no mistake. that's what they do. this new class of dictator seizes power incrementally through democracy. they never raise their voices. they don't wave their arms. they smile and tell you they are protecting democracy and public health. they praise diversity even as they demand conformity. they are entirely passive aggressive but no less

dangerous. one morning you wake up and they have canceled your bank account. this is the architecture of tyranny and it's not just happening in canada. it's happening here in the united states and it will be be used against us. bet on it. jayson whitlock is the host of "fearless. "this has happened. the guys has taken centers for disease control of the country, canceled human rights and the state department, biden administration, say nothing. how does that work. jamie: >> tucker, what's amazing is trudeau on the record has told us exactly who he is. when castro died he had glowing words for castro. he's talked about how much respect and admiration he has for china and the way things are run in china. he's told us exactly who he is.

we don't care. what's frightening about this, because the things going on in canada are a foreshadowing or working in parallel, in concert with the events happening here in this country. i'm sorry if people get offended but the january 6 thing, they assassinated this young woman ashli babbitt and thrown people in dungeons for trespassing on the capitol. what's going on with the truckners canada is bad but we have the same style things going on here in america. the opposition to the left and their secularization of american society, the demonizing of freedom. in your model, when you start talking, they demonize freedom. america has been built upon freedom, opportunity, and self-determination. that's what made us the envy of the world. they are demonizing all of that, and now, the goal in america is

equity, inclusion and diversity. those things are controlled by elites and governments. freedom, opportunity and self-determination, that's when you and me as individuals go get that, and that's why people beat down doors to get into this country. and all of this, freedom, opportunity, and self-determination, all of that goes hand-in-hand with christianity, tucker, and if you go look at canada, and in the 1950s and 1960s, that country, like 65% of them went to church regularly on sunday. they dropped that down to about 10% now. and so, we don't even value freedom right now because we don't understand its importance, and they have handed us equity, diversity and inclusion, and the race religion, and anybody that disagrees with them, oh, my god, there was a swastika, there was a confederate flag. it's a group of racists.

anybody who loves freedom and wants to try to fight to protect it, they are racist, a sell-out and they are not in line with the global agenda. we need to pay attention to what's going on in canada and pay attention to what's going on in this country. we're being bulldozed right now, those of us who love freedom, opportunity, and self-determination, in jesus christ. >> tucker: it's funny that secular societies have a tough time preserving human rights. they talk about human rights constantly but they are always the most oppressive societies. i have noticed. i appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: so jennifer had a pretty amazing statement. she's an athlete and she spent many years working at levi strauss. she eventually rose to become the president of the band. she just quit her job after the company tried to silence her for speaking out against coronavirus mandates and lockdowns.

a remarkable story. jennifer joins us after this.

>> tucker: canada's government treating protestors l

. >> tucker: all across the west for two years now you've seen institutions, governments, schools, companies, punish anyone who dares to ask the most basic questions about the virus itself. here's the most recent example. it's an amazing one. levi is the company that makes the jeans and has for years in san francisco has just forced out one of its senior executives for criticizing shutdowns and mask mandate, an opinion that's held by millions of people. jennifer sey, she's a former gymnast for team usa. they offered her a million dollars in severance to be quiet about what happened to her but she refused. jennifer, we're grateful to have you on the show tonight. thank you. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> anyone who comes on this show, i always think of as brave

but anyone who turns down a million bucks to be quiet is deeply principled. tell us why you took the stand that you did and why you turned down the money? >> well, for me, this whole thing has sort of culminated in really being about the silencing of dissent. and really not being allowed to hold a viewpoint that's outside whatever the mainstream narrative is. the orthodoxy, and i was very outspoken, that closed schools were harming children in my city in san francisco and cities across the country and it seemed like a very sensible position. it seems like folks agree with me now but it's unacceptable, and i have to be able to say that i don't think schools would be open if parents like me weren't saying that all along. it's a broader issuing in the culture. this is not a levi issue. it's not specific to levi, the sliming of dissent. >> it's certainly not.

it's easy to say this is bad and i'm against it, but you must really mean it. >> i do mean it. it goes against everything in my entire being and it's not to say it wasn't telling. i'm human. that's a lot of security for my family but i had persisted for two years in continuing to speak out on this subject because i care about kids. and then to agree to stay silent at the last minute because of money just felt so unacceptable and just grossed me in violation of everything i said i stood for. >> tucker: man, i hope in some deep and eternal sense you're awarded for what you did because it's such a virtuous thing to do. i agree. it's not about levi's. a lot of companies do this but since you worked for levi for so long i'm interested to know why it was unacceptable to express a very mainstream opinion and why they were so intent on you not talking about this that they offered you all of this money to be quiet. why do you think? >> i will say i do find it

particularly egregious, this brand that's about rugged individualism and using your voice, i had led a whole campaign that we called "use your voice." it wasn't partisan. it was meant to inspire others to speak up, not on a particular subject. and, you know, while you say this view is main stream now you have to remember i was doing this in march 2020. it absolutely was not mainstream. it was considered unacceptable. it was racist. it was, you know, you were a granny killer. you were the worst kind of person in the world. none of it was fact-based. it caused a lot of upheaval in social media. employees were complaining, and it became very difficult to manage. as a senior executive, to a large extent, and i accept this, when i speak, whether i do it on behalf of the company or not, i have to keep in mind, or, you know, i do keep in mind that i represent the company to some extent. but i have four children. i've been an active public school parent for many years and

that was more important to me even though i was warned. >> tucker: so much for listening to the voices of women. but bless you for doing what you did, for taking a stand of principle on behalf of your children and family. i hope to hear more, thank you. >> thank you. thanks for having me. >> tucker: if you let a problem fester it tends not to get better especially when there are drug addicts living in your neighborhood being is up died by the government who want to destroy civilization. a case in point, in an irony file, blm activist, a gun control activist just arrested for trying to assassinate the mayor in kentucky.

(vo) what makes my heart beat? having everything i want in the place i love. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go!

>> tucker: as punishment for the crime of following all the rules homes across america are suffering through really an epidemic of drug addicts living

in their neighborhoods, often on their sidewalks, at the parks across from their homes, and democrats in power refuse to clean them up. they are called homeless encamp presidents. in seattle, they are using one of these encampments as a basis of operation. a radio show host, jayson, has the story for us. >> this latest homeless controversy comes out of a park called seven hills park. surrounded by million dollar homes. since july of last year, this park has just been completely overrun by the homeless. they use it as a camp side. as a public toilet. and unfortunately it's getting progressively worse. at any given time, there were as many as 10, filled mostly with addicts shooting it up, many doing it out in the open. as a result, the park is constantly being visited by police and medics because of

assaults against homeowners. fires, overdoses and in november there was even a stabbing. none of this just stays in the park. sometimes you get the homeless using the adjacent town homes as a toilet right in the middle of the day. but what's most alarming is what's happening between the park and the town home where there is this private walkway for some people to get to their homes. the homeless are using it to shoot up. they use it as a toilet which the homeowners have to clean up. of course, you've got homeless people trying to break into the homes. check out this surveillance video. it's of a man either high or drunk, probably both, thinking he actually lives in one of the homes that he's trying to break into. [ bleep ]

[inaudible] [bleep] [bleep] >> tucker: so quite romantic. the city unfortunately is doing literally nothing about it. they sent out a statement saying we're going to look into it but they won't commit to a sweep of this park. >> if this is the result of your social policies, those policies by definition, this is rule for everyone involved. from the drug addicts to the homeowners. >> yes. >> tucker: it's awful. i appreciate you covering it. one of the favorite activists just attempted to assassinate a mayoral candidate in louisville, kentucky. >> tucker, prosecutors say the the 21-year-old had a glock and walked into the campaign headquarters of mayoral candidate greg greenburg and fired multiple shots. nobody was injured but only by the slimmest of margins

considering greenberg's shirt was grazed. he's white, jewish, a democrat, and so far police have no motive for the attack but he's not only a well-known black lives matter activist who was prolific during the george floyd protests, he's also been honored by the obama foundation. he's an outspoken supporter of communism, revolution and de funding police. he also started making a name for himself back in high school when he pushed for gun reform and here he is in 2018, on msnbc. watch. >> if you're not willing to give us that, then we're going to get everyone out here to vote and we're going to vote you out of office. so if you want to keep your job, give us not what we want but what we need. what humans need. we need common sense -- get rid of assault rifles. >> he disappeared last summer and turned up two weeks later in new york. his family said at the time he was tending to his physical, mental and spiritual needs. then in december, brown went on social media to announce he was

running for louisville metro council. those who know him say they thought he was for ending violence, not carrying it out. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher. thanks so much for that. >> yep. >> tucker: so the gun control activists promoted by reed pulls a gun out and starts shooting people. it turns out the people who are using you of violence are actually committing quite a bit of violence in the country. country noticed? a few moments ago, a black nationalist murdered a number of people by driving over him with his suv in wisconsin. that was a mass murderer, don't hear that story much. episodes like that focus some attention on who is exactly donating to blm and who the organization recruits and is run by, so the washington examiner looked into this and it turns out for several months now nobody appears to have been in charge of blm or the tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars it has raised. what's happened to all of the money that google sent them?

jeff bezos. the address listed on the tax forms is wrong for blm and the charity's two board members won't say who control the at least $60 million they have got in the bank. now, they are also buying new houses with it but what's going on? no oversight of the most important civil rights organization in a generation? charlie hurt of the "new york times" is a one man accountability squad and joins us to assess what we're watching. so nobody is in charge. one of the richest charities in the country, how does that work? >> yes. no, it's truly, truly extra, ordinary. i guess, you know, when you go through the list of these crimes, whether it's illegal voting or attempted assassination, it should come as little surprise from an organization that's entirely built on this racial supremacy and, quite frankly, lawlessness. it's a natural extension that you would wind up with cases like this. and sadly, even in a country like ours, that's built not --

it's the only country on earth not built on a race but built on the idea that we're -- our rights come from god. we're all equal under god, and that our laws are designed to be equally applied to all of us. an organization like blm, that's a real problem. the most disturbing part of this is the number of politicians, the people who are in charge of creating those laws, that are supposed to be equally applied to all of us, have completely fallen into bed with these blm activists because they see it as an opportunity to further their own power within the country. >> tucker: so the tell is when any organization starts saying we represent people of a certain race or color, which, of course, is by definition racist and anti-american but i don't think the dummies who promote this stuff understand, if one group starts doing that then why wouldn't every group start doing that and do you want to live in a country where every group is doing that? they don't see the end to this?

>> no, i think quite frankly, that would be fine with these people. of course, the problem that these people have with america is that it does tear down the divisions among people and they want people divided. the way these people gain power is by dividing people and they will divide people by anything that they can manage to sort of wedge between people. but nothing is more effective for these people than race itself, and that's why they dwell upon it more than, you know, constantly dwell upon it. >> tucker: that's just rwanda. it's so bad. i wish they would stop it. charlie hurt, it's great to see you tonight, thanks a lot. >> great to see you. >> tucker: joe biden is still all spun up about ukraine where his son once worked. paid his family millions of dollars. got it. is russia about to invade ukraine like in the next 10 minutes or what is going on?

we have a guest who joins us next. weathertech is the trusted brand that offers premium products for ultimate protection, like our laser measured floorliners. now there's the weathertech comfortmat. anti-fatigue support and cushioning while you stand in the kitchen... laundry room... at a stand up desk... or anywhere you might find yourself. the weathertech comfortmat features a non-slip grip

>> tucker: joe biden was yam merring again today about ukraine, his son's former employer, what does that have to do with you? nothing. the thing is people in ukraine don't seem as worried about russia as biden. watch. >> be met with overwhelming international condemnation. the world will not forget that russia chose needless death and destruction. invading ukraine will prove to be a self-inflicted wound. the united states and our allies and partners will respond decisively to the citizens of russia. you are not our enemy. and i do not believe you want a bloodied destructive war against ukraine. let there be no doubt. commits this by invading

ukraine, responsible nations around the world will not hesitate to respond too. too oh, blah-blah-blah. here's the upside for biden if russia does invade ukraine. he'll have a handy excuse for the destruction of the american economy that he caused. he himself kind of admitted that today. watch. >> i'll not pretend this will be painless. there could be an impact on our energy prices so we're taking active steps to alleviate the pressure on our own energy markets. >> tucker: right. so it's going to make your life worse but it's absolutely worth it because -- he didn't explain that part. so what's going to happen? doug mcgregor is a retired u.s. army colonel and one of the people we trust to give us real information. we're happy to have him on tonight. thanks for coming on. do you find it interesting that biden is saying ahead of time we have a moral obligation to do this because for some reason, but when we do it, it's going to make everything more expensive for you, mr. and mrs. america.

>> well, president biden gave us a profound demonstration of his infinite ignorance of foreign affairs and especially russia. there are no grounds for hostility between us and russia. no grounds for conflict between us and russia. but if he's nevertheless managed to cultivate conflict and bad will. now, understand what's really happening today. half the population of russia was live or born during the time that ukraine was part of the soviet union. they tend to look at ukraine almost the same way we look at texas. in eastern ukraine the population is so thoroughly russian they have many relatives just on the other side of the border. but we have consistently failed to acknowledge their legitimate security interests in ukraine. they will not tolerate ukraine becoming a platform for nato to potentially threaten russia and whether we like it or not or believe it, they see nato as

anti-russian and a threat. so i think his remarks today probably make it inevitable that the russians will intervene in ukraine. >> tucker: we're told that we should care about this because ukraine is somehow a democracy. the ukraine is not a democracy. the opposition leaders is under arrest and opposition media have been banned. so what is is the moral justification for weighing in to support an autocracy? i don't get it. >> there is no moral justification for our interest in ukraine other than, as an honest broker, to offer our assistance to moscow and kiev to find a solution that both moscow and kiev can live with. that's very important but to do that, we first have to acknowledge something that the german chancellor pointed out after his meeting with putin. he said americans, not necessarily americans but we

must all understand you can't build a structure of security in europe without russian participation. biden acts as though russia's interests are irrelevant. that russia has no role to play. well, russia is about to demonstrate that we're powerless in eastern europe to stop them, and i do not see any evidence for this overwhelming support around the world for sanctions against russia over something that most people rightly regard as a matter of national security interest to russia. >> tucker: yes. he has no idea what he's talk and it's sad that he's dragging all these decent people it into. doug mcgregor, i appreciate your wisdom and clarity as always. thank you. >> sure. >> tucker: so the governor of nevada, steve -- has announced that students and school employees no longer need to wear masks. democrats in the state are fighting that order. mask them, they say. adam is the former attorney general of the state and has been watching this and has strong opinions on it. thanks so much for coming on.

is there massive support among the citizens of your state to keep children masked? >> you know, what we've seen in nevada is beyond rank hypocrisy. we've seen the corruption of our leaders just laid before our eyes. the governor last week came in and on a whim lifted the mask mandates. of course, i support, but it's important to note that by all the metrics, we're still in the red. we have more transmission, last week, when the masks were on in august, but we all know the game. they are following the political science. a lot of elections coming up in 2022, and you saw the joy of those students in las vegas when it was announced the masks were finally lifted. i think they are crushed. i think they are not going to be able to put masks on again. but, you know, it's just -- this

is from the same governor that never explained why casinos were open last year and churches and small businesses were shut. these are failed leaders. i know senator -- our senior senator said, the numbers justify lifting the mask mandate. of course, that's all lies. it's all hypocrisy. the good news is, i think nevadians are ready for change and they forced the lifting of this mask mandate. >> tucker: maybe i knew this, but it's just so striking to hear you say it. casinos were allowed to stay open but churches were closed. did anybody even pretend there was science there or was it just purely political? >> there was no question from the media. what was the science? we all know there is no science that justifies that but this is the world we're living in. they got so used to arbitrary power. no one challenged them on it. today, tucker, i'm going to

contrast elementary kids cheering. they are finally excited to be relieved from masks. meanwhile, at one of our flagship universities today, you had clem kids protesting to put masks back on. it's got to be one of the only examples in history of college age kids protesting for less liberty, for less individual freedom, but this is the propaganda that's affected this group that, of course, has no risk, and should be really excited to finally be liberated from these arbitrary rules. >> tucker: god. stockholm syndrome is real. that's the most depressing thing i've heard in a long time when people want to be oppressed, you know the tyrants have won. thank you for all you do. it's great to see you. >> thanks. >> tucker: we want to remember him after the break.

>> tucker: 32 years ago last month i pet pj o'rourke in a bar in nicaragua. he was a hero of mine. he turned out to be every bit the man i hoped he would be. for 30 years we were friends. pj, one of the funiest people who ever wrote in english at a time when you were allowed to be funny, which is totally free and honest. 1987 book still worth reading. he worked for rolling stone in the 70s, '80s national lampoon. remarkable. he was one of the few people in journalism who actually had a

happy life, who cared about the right thing. he loved his wife, children, northern new england, his spaniels, bird hunting, having lunch with his friends, tobacco. he was a man in full, a great man. it is with deep sadness we tell you that he passed away today at 74. that's it for us tonight. we'll be back every night 8 p.m. have a great evening. >> hannity: great tribute to pj o'rourke. tonight the struggle for civil liberties in canada continues, as the country's wanna be dictator justin trudeau attempting to squash peaceful protests and force covid mandates in perpituity. also tonight we'll check in on the white house where, in the midst of a crisis at home and abroad, multiple crises, well, joe biden spent precious time today telling a really weird
