that? you can go to slgelato.com. like i said, jesse watters prime time is going to be buying a lot of pistachio. "tucker carlson tonight" is up next. things were watching "jesse watters prime time" remember. i'm watters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." so much drama. you can't say we are not learning a lot though. one topically learned a lot about over the last year is russia. the reason we learned about it is because russia is joe biden's number one favorite topic of conversation. joe biden could talk about russia forever, meaning in his case for up to 4 minutes at a time. which at this stage is joe biden's version of a filibuster. you may have asked yourself one

will joe biden never stop talking about russia? very soon, actually. in fact, he seems to be losing his train of thought right now. don't worry. he'll be back to it. russia is a very comfortable topic for joe biden. he enjoys talking about it much more than talking about inflation or crime or fentanyl deaths or about how half the population of haiti appears to be showing up in florida in leaky boats. those topics may interest you since you live in this country but not joe biden. despite appearances, biden doesn't actually live here. in his head, joe biden is floating high above the sea of peace off, swooping in over southeastern ukraine micah botox superhero just to make sure everything's okay with his little buddies, the ukrainians. joe biden is a protector that way. he's also a scholar and a teacher, not credentialed like the doctor that he's married to. joe biden didn't go to community college in delaware for a doctorate in diversity studies. he is just a civilian. biden's to lecture with the best of them. if you signed up for his intro to russia's bad class you will

not be disappointed. professor biden knows that material. first and foremost, russia is bad. that's the name of the course, the entire syllabus. maybe the only facts you come away with after months of heavy coursework. russia is bad. you learn that you release. to be clear, we are talking about russia here. we are not talking about the soviet union. there is a difference in joe biden's been around long enough to know what the differences. he has seen it firsthand. the soviets wanted peace. joe biden told us that repeatedly in this ' 70s in '80s. rushed by contrast just wants more. the russians are warlike people. it's inherent. russians are driven by blood lust. they have tiny brains and their breath smells like herring. they are always drunk off and on aftershave or household cleaning products. on sunday mornings when good people are still sleeping, your average russian will be lurking through the dark streets leering through bloodshot eyes, trying to divert somebody else's democracy or conquer a peace-loving neighbor. that's russians are. it's what they do.

but if there's one thing you absolutely must know about russia, if you're going to navigate this world, that thing is that on february 16, 2022, vladimir putin is going to invade our closest ally in the world, ukraine. write that down. february 16, 2022. ukraine invasion begins. that's the day. joe biden has been very clear about that so have the intel agencies and the stenographers in the news media. as politico put it "russia will start a physical assault on ukraine as soon as february 16," multiple u.s. officials confirmed. a physical assault. this won't be your typical physical assault like the kind you've experienced on the new york city subway. no. according to politico, this physical assault "could be preceded by a barrage of missile strikes and cyberattacks." these aren't just gang members. they are russians. the daily mail confirmed politico's reporting. "pollutant has decided to invade ukraine on wednesday," read the headline.

brits and americans told to get out now. that same day the mirror in london let us know they had seen the vladimir putin's planning documents in operation snuff out ukrainian democracy and it was in motion. the russian invasion of ukraine set for 3:00 a.m. tomorrow with missiles and tank attack. so february 16, 2022, definitely the day the music was going to die in ukraine. everybody knew that. but weirdly, nobody thought to tell the president of ukraine. who is an obedient puppet of the biden state department you might think whatever the news but no, he hasn't. he was baffled by it. he said this "we are told that february 16th will be the day of the attack. we will make it a day of unity. the relevant degree has been signed. on this day will hang national flags, where blue and yellow ribbons and show the world our unity." that was president zelensky. keep in mind that in addition to being a puppet of the biden administration, president zelensky of ukraine was also at one point a low-grade comic of some kind. so he was kidding.

that was a joke. but in the american news media, there are no jokes. human has been banned for several years now. in fact you are more likely to hear a joke on a russian news broadcast and american television, pretty amazing. things of change. in any case, the readers of teleprompter on our tv channels did not get this joke at all. here's the coverage they produced. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> we are back with more on the breaking news just one of ukraine. president zelensky saying ukraine has been informed that this wednesday, the 16th, will be the day of the attack. >> you keynes president zelensky addressing his nation today about reports intelligence picked up the date for an attack of wednesday. >> telling them he was told that february 16 will be the day of the attack. >> president zelensky saying that his government been told that february 16th will be the

day of the possible attack. >> today, defiant ukrainian celebrated a day of unity. they had been reports and intelligence warnings that today, february 16, might be the day of the invasion. of course that subject vladimir putin. will ukraine be ready? >> tucker: it's up to vladimir putin. they didn't get it was a joke. so it put us in a very weird position where suddenly we were being lectured on humor by eastern europeans. think about that for a minute. president zelensky staff explained he was kidding. some news outlets had to update their reporting but they were clearly annoyed with zelensky. "ukrainian leader makes confusing joke about russian invasion." "new york magazine." here's the funniest part of all. there was no invasion. february 16, 2022, was yesterday. nothing happened. vladimir putin did not invade ukraine. if joe biden noticed the lack of

an invasion, he didn't acknowledge it. he didn't say a word. today he was back on television assuring us once again the invasion is coming. >> how high is the threat of a russian invasion right now? >> it's very high. because they have not moved. they move more troops in. we have reason to believe that they are engaged in a false flag operation to have an excuse to go in. every indication we have is they are prepared to go in and attack ukraine. >> are you going to call putin? >> i have no plans to call putin. >> are you going to make a final decision? >> tucker: here is a guy who was literally wearing a mask outside assuring us that he is saying and on the ball enough to know when putin is going to invade ukraine. of course he has gotten it wrong. what's going on here?

the most obvious explanation is, it's the most obvious one. doddering old joe biden even before he was seen and was widely considered a moron in washington. has been played by vladimir putin. may be evil but definitely not stupid. putin bluffton invasion of ukraine to make biden look ridiculous, it worked. maybe there was something else going on. maybe putin still plans to in invade ukraine. as you heard joe biden doesn't know because he refuses to talk to the russians. the russians are too immoral for joe biden. that is saying a lot come from the former credit card lobby is to help run america's most corrupt state. but according to joe biden, vladimir putin is not someone you could ever talk to because he put bounties on the lives of american troops in afghanistan. how does joe biden know that happen? he got it the very same people who spent all last month telling us that putin was going to invade ukraine onto a very 16. here they are. >> new report says that russia

offered afghan militants bounties to kill u.s. soldiers. the administration's nonreaction. >> cnn cited a source. the cash award did lead to the casualties. >> not so long ago in a land not so far away there was a republican party that would have confronted russia for putting bounties on the heads of u.s. soldiers. >> to say nothing of putting bounties on american troops. >> it's unbelievable. he has still yet to say anything. and the president had a speech about bounties on american troops. >> the most discredited people in the world weighing in with total certainty on the most important topics. if you were to sum up the moment we are living in, that's how you describe it. every thing i just told you turned out -- everything they told you turned out to be untrue. they were lying to keep us in afghanistan forever. why would want to do that? we weren't achieving anything. the second we left the taliban took over and became one of the

best armed militaries in the entire region. what we were doing wasn't working but they didn't want us to leave. they were willing to lie to keep us there. why? well, we don't have any special intel but we think may be the defense industry and profligate campaign donors may have had something to do with it. here is senator richard blumenthal of connecticut explaining that actually ukraine needs a lot more lethal weapons from raytheon. >> i was deeply impressed with how resolute and determined the people of ukraine are. they are courageous. they are steadfast. they are going to fight in the streets, their neighborhoods, if we give them the arms that they need, and that's why have also urged the jablon missiles, the tanks, the aircraft. >> tucker: [laughs] that guy about his own or service is pretty excited about the thought of ukrainians fighting and dying in the streets. these people are ghoulish. of course they are promoting

more. not to maintain the democracy that is ukraine. ukraine is not a democracy. it has never been a democracy and its history and it's not now. it's a client state of the biden administration. it's a place in which opposition media and opposition political candidates are completely shut down by the government. it's not a democracy at all. it's insulting they would suggest otherwise. people like that in many people in washington are pushing ukraine toward war. so we are sending them weapons and then making it very easy for them to use them. they told us never months that any preemptive attack by ukraine actually isn't real. if you see ukraine using these weapons, no. says antony blinken. that's not aggression. it's a false flag attack by russia. >> russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack. this could be a violent event that russia will and on ukraine or an outrageous accusation that russia will level against the

ukrainian government. we don't know exactly. it could be a fabricated so-called terrorist bombing inside russia. the invent of the discovery of a mass grave, stage drone strike against civilians, or a fake, even a real attack using chemical weapons. >> tucker: so they're going to use chemical weapons but it won't actually be them. it will be those diabolical russians. drunk on aftershave. once again, there is zero evidence that any of this is true. this is clearly some sort of intel op being filtered through the state department and the media. but yet, for months now they've told us russia is definitely going to manufacture a pretext for an invasion. a lone ap reporter asked, how do you know this? they immediately accused him of working for putin. pretty much the only reporter who asked a question like that. there is a depressing irony to

that. this morning on a piece on sub stack. "a big reason we are supposed to be an improvement over putin's russia is that we don't use the news media is a instrument of warfare. russian reporters don't have much choice in being and scripted for this duty. what is the excuse of westerners who broadcast cia gibberish on command?" that's a very good question. the answer is they have no excuse. joe kent has lived with the sad consequences of lies like these. he's a former member of the army special forces and also running for congress in washington state. he joins us tonight. joe kent, thanks for coming on. nobody on the show was pretending to know what russia is going to do or what ukraine is going to do. it's very easy to spot it in this story. >> absolutely. this is the same rhetoric that got us into the iraq war. it's tragic to see that our

elected officials, ruling class, national security, they have learned nothing that we have learned over the past two decades of continuous combat especially the lies that got us into a war in iraq. think on right now we have independent journalists. we have social media. we have the work you're doing. we can call these people out and call them up for their lies because right now biden's political machine is willing to drive us into a war to divert from his failings here at home at the behest of the military-industrial complex. >> tucker: i've heard people describe the intel community is the fourth branch of government. i thought it was an overstatement and then i see it mouth breeders like tony blinken repeating these talking points clearly directly from the cia briefing. i see reporters during the same, talk show host to the same. parole joe biden has no idea what he saying that he's repeating the same lies. it does feel like a lot of our foreign policy is controlled by devoid involved for in the intel community. >> it really is. the so-called intelligent experts are uncreative. they are not offering any actual

solutions. all they are saying every time there's a problem is that we just need to go to war. at the past of the military-industrial complex what they should be doing is offering truth and saying we have other options here. we have economic power that we can use. they should be doing every thing to prevent us from going to war as opposed to every time defaulting to the one thing that has never worked and will be absolutely destructive for not just our country but for every country, and that is war. >> tucker: yeah. you lost your wife in a war so i think you know a lot about this topic. i hope more elected officials will start saying what you just said. joe kent, thanks much for coming out tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: canada's descent into total tyranny continues tonight. one of the organizers of the freedom convoy has just been arrested. on what pretext? disagreeing with justin trudeau. no longer allowed. plus, the pause that refreshes. america's favorite judge, america's favorite dr. face-off

so far, they are frozen $870,000 on top of the 9 million already locked up. finally, it's worth noting the biden administration is also targeting digital currency by appointing a crypto czar and having the fbi form with digital unit. targeting cyberattacks and ransomware groups. >> tucker: amazing story. trace gallagher, thanks so much. the economic part of this story gets too little attention. our entire financial system, the financial system every country in the west is based on the idea that politicians can't arbitrarily take all your money away if you see something they don't like. that's why our banks work. that's what the world puts its money into american banks and canadian banks and dish banks. if that changes in trudeau just changed, the whole system rocks on its axis. it's a big story we're going to have it for you in great detail. hillary clinton spoke at the new york state democratic

convention. a lot of speculation she's preparing a third presidential run. we want to go on the record early as supporters. we fully support hillary clinton as she runs for president. so in the name of promoting hillary clinton's next candidacy for president want to share some excerpts of her speech today. here is hillary clinton making some highly original points about voter suppression and interaction. watch. >> when the republican party officially embraces violent insurrection as legitimate political discourse, when storming the capital, assaulting police officers, trying to overturn an election, the normalized. we are in uncharted territory. republicans are defending who plotters. they are curbing voting rights. at precisely the moment when democracy needs champions.

when we should be standing together against autocracies. >> tucker: so it really was, she put it, it was an attack on our democracy. attack on our norms. give that lady daytime msnbc show. should be the democratic party's presidential nominee once again? maybe are not fully convinced. we're going to choice more clips. hillary clinton has spent her last five years of holding her speaking skills. here is hillary clinton responding to the news that her campaign spied on donald trump and the white house. watch. >> and we can't get distracted. whether it's by the latest culture war nonsense or some new right-wing lie on fox or facebook. by the way, they have been coming after me again lately, in case you might have noticed. it's funny. the more trouble trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theories about me seem to get. >> tucker: as you can see,

facebook and fox news were picking on the girl again. it's called misogyny. will she break the glass ceiling? of course we are rooting for her. to our dismay she did not commit to running in 2024 but she did promise to help the democratic party as much as she has in the past. >> they will do nothing to invest in our schools or make college more affordable. they will ban books but do nothing about guns. they will make it harder for people to vote but easier for big corporations to bust unions. they'll let the polluter's trash our environment and let donald trump trash our democracy. that's why i intend to work my heart out to elect democrats up and down the ticket this november. >> tucker: so what you're watching really is a triumph of emerging technology. that entire speech, in fact --

software. new that's why you heard some of it before. clay travis is the man to ask. he volunteered for bill clinton's reelection campaign. we will mark him undecided for hillary clinton's campaign. clay travis. >> look, i think it's a sign of how bad things are for democrats right now. that hillary might be their best option in 2024. she's going to get crushed but she might be their best option. think about it. you've got joe biden who would be 82 years old. he's almost incapable of speech now. i can't imagine in three years how he's even going to be on the campaign trail. you have kamala harris who may be is the least popular politician in the history of the world which is saying something. you have mayor pete who i think is still on paternity leave. if he's off paternity leave

right now by the way, he's also incapable of getting any black support, and no one wants to talk about it. he went down to south carolina in the primary and got two or 3% of the vote. they decided to make joe biden the nominee. who else do they have? i really think, i'm not even being crazy, i think hillary's going to be the choice. in fact, hillary is so excited about getting this opportunity in 2024 that she's already kicking herself that she didn't bail out the blm attempted murder in louisville herself. if you look at what's going on right now, they're already stifling stories about her on facebook. you can't share the fox news story about the durham investigation that effectively appears that it is going to prove that hillary clinton campaign was actually spying on donald trump. just like you couldn't share all of the hunter biden stories from

"the new york post" and fox and everywhere else, even though we now know that that's true. so when you analyze the situation, i think they're going to toss hillary out there and i think they're going to get destroyed. here's the real question and i would love to hear you think about how the democrats are going to spin this. if biden doesn't run, it is sexist and racist by the democratic party's own standards if kamala harris isn't the nominee. so at least if they go with hillary, they can cross off the sexist part. it'll still be racist but shall only be half wrong and half worthy of condemnation. >> tucker: i guess my one disagreement would be on hillary herself. maybe when voters discover how oppressed she has been. she seems obviously like this sinister entitled rich lady who's had everything handed to her. when people learned that everyone is picking on her because she is a girl, don't you think like oprah, she will

become very popular? >> look, that's her calling card, right? she is going to get beaten in the oppression olympics by kamala harris. >> tucker: good point. >> come harris has got race. that pyramid of victimization which defines everything in the democratic party, kamala harris is at the apex. she's the ultimate attempt is a black woman. if she's not allowed to be the nominee after being vice president, then hillary clinton will be racist. she can slide on the sexism angle but i don't see how she gets past being racist under the democratic party ideology right now. as much as i think hillary would be a candidate, i think that kamala harris is going to racism her to death and there's just no way for her to be the nominee. i don't know how she pulls it off. >> tucker: kind of amusing to see someone do that to her after watching her do it to others. >> it's amazing. >> tucker: the rich white lady calling other people racist. excellent to see you tonight.

thank you. >> great to see you. thanks for having me. >> tucker: you heard reference to mayor pete buttigieg of south bend. he is the transportation secretary of the united states at a moment when our transportation grid is falling apart. try to fly commercially recently? are you surprised by this? we are not that we learn the details of pete buttigieg's tenure as mayor of south bend, indiana. we will have those details straight ahead. the judge and the doctor ready to buzz in for final exam coming up. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go!

>> i am surprised some people were surprised when i pointed to the fact that if the highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a black neighborhood or if an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly black and puerto rican kids to a beach or that would've been in new york was designed to go for it to pass by, it obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices. >> tucker: racist bridges. we wanted to hear more from pete buttigieg. he is the transportation secretary. he is breastfeeding stay semigood and join us. he wanted to know what his record on infrastructure was as mayor of south bend. it turns out buttigieg doesn't have a very good track record. the keystone traffic initiative. he reportedly led to the death of an 11-year-old boy. the initiative deactivated in
