perhaps a hoodie and jeans. i can't dress like gutfeld. i have a reputation to uphold. wouldn't look good. plus my mom would kill me. that's it for us tonight. "tucker carlson tonight" is up next. and always remember, i am jesse watters, and this is my world. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." yesterday morning, joe biden secretary of state, maine called tony blinken, went on to the sunday show over it "cbs news" o announce his new policy toward russia. going forward the biden administration will use poland as a cut out to send fighter jets to the government of ukraine. the jets will be used to fight the russian military. lincoln announces in a calm,

even tone, business as usual. nothing to worry about. but in fact, it is not difficult. they could be a pivot point in history. and for that reason, we want to show you the entire exchange. here it is. >> for instance the polish government, nato member, wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the u.s. or you are you afraid that will escalate tensions? >> no, that gets a green light. in fact, we are talking with our polish friends right now about what we might be able to if, in fact, they choose to provide these fighter jets to the ukrainians. what we do, how we can help to make sure they get something to backfill the planes they are handing over to the ukrainians. >> tucker: are you afraid that will escalate tension, ask the scrip reader because even a "cbs news" anchor knows that sending fighter jets to a war usually does that.

no, replies tony blinken. that gets a green light. it's a remarkable exchange. what are we watching here apart from a conversation between two incredibly shallow people? where we are watching is the beginning of a war between the united states and russia. but that sounds drawing. what else would you call a question mark you may support everything that tony blinken just had. maybe you do support. but let's not lie about what has happened, let's be as honest as clear as we can be because it matters. the biden administration just inserted itself with force into the middle of a hot war between two foreign powers. that means the united states is now an active participant in a war. we are at war with russia. whether or not that war has been officially declared, whether or not congress has authorized that war, all of that is irrelevant. that war is happening right now as we watch. why is no one in washington saying anything about this? because they supported. they always have. almost five years ago, way back

in 2017, congressman eric swalwell of california came on the show for the russia gate debate, when of many. he came to let us know how vladimir putin had gotten donald trump elected president. it was all as stupid as he remembered until the end of the interview in which eric swalwell said something odd and interesting. he explained that because putin had stalled donald trump secretly in th white house, you should do everything we can to expand nato's role. let ukraine join nato. that is odd. why would he say that? why would a -- nato, ukraine, what? why would that be a priority for some forgettable congressman from the east bay? it's simple. because getting ukraine into nato was the key to inciting war with russia. we can get at the time. it's obvious appeared putin invaded ukraine because he didn't want ukraine to join nato. other motives as well.

people do have multiple motives. but that is the main reason russia invaded. the russians don't want american missiles on their border. they don't want a hostile government next door. that is true whether are you allowed to say and public right now or not, it has been true for a long time. a lot has been written about this over many years. no one who knows anything and honest will tell you putin invaded ukraine simply because he is evil. putin may be evil. he certainly seems to be but he also has strategic motives in doing that whether or not you agree with those motives. that's irrelevant. those are facts. with those facts in mind, the biden administration's behavior in the days before the ukraine invasion tells you a lot about what motivated them. with hessian troops massed by the thousands on the ukrainian border, joe biden sent kamala harris, the least capable diplomat in washington to explain america's policy to the states. at a public press event with the munich security conference, kamala harris encouraged ukraine become a member of nato.

"i appreciate and admire president's because desire to join nato. "message? up yours, vladimir putin. go ahead and invade ukraine. and of course he did that just days later. so the invasion was no surprise to the biden administration. they knew that would happen. that was the point of the exercise. we watched all this happen. we missed it. how? honestly because it was insane. and therefore very hard to take seriously. why in the world with the united states intentionally seek war with russia? how could we possibly benefit from that war? we still don't know the answer to that question. but it is obvious that washington has been fixated on war with russia for a very long time. a couple of years ago you may remember we have forgotten that you impeached a sitting president. why? for threatening to withhold military aid to president zelensky of ukraine. failing to back a proxy war in

ukraine was the one thing donald trump was not allowed to do as president. again, they impeached him for it. and no one said much about it. even in his own party because of course is supported war with russia too. maybe even more than the democrats did. as far back as 2016, lindsey graham of south carolina, was jumping around and acting out his work and if he's in ukraine. we don't remember seeing it back in 2016 ukraine seemed like a faraway place. we should've paid more attention. hear this. >> your fight is our fate. [speaking non-english language] >> 2017 will be the year of offense.>> [speaking non-english language] >> all of us will go back to washington and we will push the case against russia.>> [speakinh language] >> enough of russian aggression.

it is time for them to pay a heavier price. >> tucker: your fight is our fight? that is a very strange thing for an american lawmaker to say to a foreign military. why would the ukrainian government's fight in 2016 possibly be our fight? on what grounds was that our fight? what does that even mean? we don't know. now it is demonstrably true. ukraine's fight is our fight or ukraine's war is our war. it is here but most americans did not see that coming. yet washington certainly did. permanent washington understood the second vladimir putin's forces rolled across the border into ukraine we would inevitably be on a course work with russia. they knew. here is the president of the agusta council on foreign relations on the day of the invasion. >> what we need now is a responsive necessity to his war of choice and with there has to be -- to raise the military caught at home, the military cost on the ground.

the most thing putin is vulnerable to his dead russian soldiers so we have to make sure ukraine has the means to resist. >> tucker: dead russian soldiers. right out of the gate. maybe there is some way to to escalate this, invasion is terrible but isn't america's role as steward of the west to make things better? wouldn't a prompt russian withdrawal from ukraine be the wisest course for everyone, including, and especially the ukrainians on whose behalf we claim -- you would think so but that is not one anyone in washington wanted. they want to war and now they have one. so where is this going? that's a question the rest of us want to know. it's worrisome. should keep in mind the u.s. government is currently run by the same people who plan to the afghanistan withdrawal, the ones who tanked the u.s. dollar. the people who run baltimore. the one who tried to send crack bikes to junkies. this is our people with a long

history of destroying things into history all at all of the building things. they tell of vladimir putin's imbalance. we will take that at face value. we know that putin has thousands of nuclear weapons. he is said if he is pushed he will eunice nuclear weapons. it could be wise to believe him. he does believe him. he is a foreign policy analyst in washington. like a lot of people in his business, he regularly participates in government-sponsored war games. these are designed to map out what would happen if various countries fell into conflict with one another. a couple of years ago, he participated in a war game predicated on a war with russia. he read about this the other day in the federalist. in the course of what we call the nato russia war of 2019, we estimated 1 billion people die. 1 billion. if we aren't careful, what happened in the simulation could happen if eight nato-russia war erupts over ukraine. that war has just erupted. the fact that no one in charge seems to be worried about where

this could go she could turn you quite a bit. nuclear war is not the only worry. the economic consequences of this war are already profound. history changing, actually. if you don't believe it, check out commodity prices. they are out of control. nearly 60% over last year. highest ever for wheat if you plan to eat and it won't get better. russia is one of the largest fertilizer producers in the world. because american farmers $265 per ton last january now goes for $846 this year. and thanks to sanctions, that number will get much higher. no one who farms has ever seen anything like this. you probably don't farm. but if you buy groceries it will be obvious to you soon. thanks to biden's foreign policy, everything you buy is shooting up in price and shockingly fast. gasoline is now higher than it has ever been in the history of gasoline. in los angeles, it is selling for $7.29 per gallon.

so if you make under 100 grand per year, and most people in this country do, thought qualifies as a crisis for you. over the people in charge, it is not high enough. they would like to make it worse. their latest idea a lot of people seem to be buying is that we have a moral obligation somehow to stop buying russian oil. it is tainted. okay. what would happen if we did that? needless to say oil prices would jump, likely over hundred $50 per barrel and even higher prices for you. but then as that boycott spreads and moral boycotts tend to, and your jointed, buckle your seat belt. we talk is when an energy business this morning and they give us perspective. he said a total boycott of russian energy would cause "an absolute global disaster." recession, depression, economic devastation to us and our allies. and at that point, in fact we are already there, would be forced to make something different by getting oil from other countries because we need energy.

batteries aren't going to supply it. so what with those countries be? they would be saudi arabia, iran, venezuela. to repeat. in order to wage a moral boycott, we become more dependent on saudi arabia governed by sharia law. iran, a rogue state, and madura's venezuela. because as a moral statement we are making. so feel good about it as you go bankrupt. that's the short term picture for the long-term picture of war with russia is even scarier than that. thanks to biden's policies, russia and china now form a block against the united states. this was the name scenario. now it is real. just today the chinese foreign minister described vladimir putin as china's "most important strategic partner." so are we going to see a boycott of chinese goods in the united states? don't bet on it. that would be racist. but we should prepare to lose her position as holder of the world's reserve currency. that is happening in slow

motion. it is unmistakable. the biden people seem to have no idea this is going on maybe they wanted to happen. joe biden was up there at the tate of the union bragging about how we took off 30 points in the russian ruble in a single day. hooray. good for us. but once you start celebrating our won, the destruction of the russian economy, they deserve to come after winter is are a to this? could it be a fury victory? let's eat. these policies have driven them to accelerate their flight from the u.s. dollar. to be clear, that is the majority of the global economy. this may be the most reckless and destructive thing any american president has ever done to united states. the one ukraine ended tomorrow, we would live with the consequences of that loss of the u.s. dollar is a world reserve currency for the rest of our lives. no one in washington is even acknowledging this is happening. they are looking for more moral victories to win.

and the company's love affair that woke companies. apple, mastercard, lots of other american companies are taking victory laps for their role in punishing russia. right. punish russia. we are not against that. but you have to wonder. you've just just seen a handful of woke corporations crash a country and impoverished and citizens indiscriminately appear that country is russia so most of us aren't even thinking about the precedent it sets. it's fine. it's russia. who cares? but is it possible the same techniques might be you someday against someplace or somebody that you care about? what if one morning you woke up and they decided that you are vladimir putin and you must be erased. could that happen? you probably aren't able to think about it if you tried because there is a moral panic and progress. for the record, this is the third moral panic we've had in the united states of america and less than two years. you don't want to live in a country in which moral panics breakout regularly. moral panic has diminished the people engaged in them and hurt

the people who don't. they are degrading, they are crazy, they are the opposite of what you want. you want to live in a country where wisdom and restraint and rational behavior and indecency determine the outcomes. not screaming. we live in a country of moral panic. the first one begin may of 2020 with the death of george floyd in minneapolis. the second moral panic was covid. we have lived through that. so for nearly two years, that shouting has not ended. history is now the official language of public discourse in the united states. that is not good for anyone except those benefiting from it. who is benefiting? anyone who lives for a living. how much of what you first heard about blm and about the coronavirus turned out in the end to be true. many of the first stories were true? not many. it was almost all laws. but you didn't know that at the time because you are busy being yelled at. if you do to point out that

actually, all lives matter, they'd announced it was races. he expressed concern about vaccine mandates of course they called event anti-vaxxer. sound familiar? the pattern never changes. maybe with wharton's russia is not a good idea for the united states. say that out loud sometime. not in extreme positions. to most americans would agree with you but you will immediately be announced as a tool of putin. what is this? it is name calling as a means of social control. the people in charge and decided the primary job is to decide who you should hate. and in an environment like this, every feels like propaganda and that is because much of it is. on thursday we told you that russian forces had bombed a nuclear reactor in ukraine. that seemed to be true. president zelensky of ukraine said it repeatedly. but it is not true. the reactors were headed. an unnamed ukrainian official claimed that radiation levels in the area had risen pier that turned out to be untrue. an entry analyst, i'm afraid to

say this looks like a coordinated effort to induce panic. of course. it's what we called this information and a bit designed to get you to support a war against russia. maybe you support a war against russia anyway but you should at least know you're being lied t and manipulated which you are. watched a segment from "good morning america." >> ukraine's mothers, daughters, teachers, politicians, beauty queens now on the front lines defending their country under siege. and a former miss grand ukraine. photos of her on instagram and fatigue, rifle in hand. underneath, patriotic hashtags. >> tucker: miss ukraine with a rifle. defending her homeland. is there anything more inspiring than that? it being more inspiring if it's real. it wasn't. it was fake. she was not defending her homeland. that was not a rifle. it was an airsoft gun. the whole thing was not a new story though you read as such. it was a propaganda shoot. it was meant to make you want

work with russia. so besides one side of the other. it works. as why they do it. as for the ten companies have censored so many new sites recently, including from russia but not exclusively from russia. we are supposed to take this as a victory over putin or something. but a victory for what? less information? fewer perspectives? if getting to the truth was the point of the exercise, we as american citizens should be able to read whatever we wanted to read. there was a role for centuries in this country. i no longer is because truth is no longer the point. instead, twitter and facebook proudly censor any information that might "undermine trust in the ukrainian government." really? since when are required to trust the ukrainian government or any government? don't ask. by the way, over the weekend, because every thing in america is unintentionally hilarious, "new york times" attacked vladimir putin for censorship. try to control what is people

can read. lost in the focus on ukraine is any perspective about the world which always lacks in d.c. but never some foul more so than now for the fighting the terrible. we are seeing it happen. no decent person feel foul can feel to be moved by the images. it's not the only war in recent memory or in progress right now. many thousands died in the 2020 war between azerbaijan and romania. i didn't less than a year and a half ago. no coverage. there's bennett grissom were underway in ethiopia tens of thousands -- many intentionally affected with aids. can it get worse than that because mark county people have died in the war in ethiopia. we don't really know. because no one in our media cares enough to keep track. we do know the hundreds of thousands of people, mostly civilians have died in yemen.

a war the biden administration has continued to fund. it doesn't get a lot of attention. it's just yemen. who cares? all human life is equal. all of us are equal in the eyes of god. the death of someone in ukraine is exactly equivalent to the death of someone in yemen. and it's important, period. the hardest of all to ignore her mother were media have pulled off and ignored it, is a civil war that is underway 100 yards in el paso, texas, right now. the mexican drug war. that's what we call appeared likely killed more than 100,000 people. in 2019 alone, close to 10,000 mexican citizens disappeared, mostly young men. more journalists are murdered in mexico every year than any other country in the world. we see in pictures under screen right now of that war. they are horrifying. keeping the bad ones off the screen. trust us peer they are awful. but it's not a crisis. it is totally normal. open the southern border. the border we care about is ukraine.

the republicans in washington to the eternal shame have no problem with any of those. many are more for werth in russia than joe biden seems to be. that is a disgrace. it will hurt them in the midterms. it will hurt them on some deeper level because it does not serve the interests of this country. a war fought on behalf of democracy that ignores the will of the country fighting it. at some point, someone will explain what is going on here. we are out of time for tonight but it's enough to know republicans are not representing their voters when they moved to a position that is way more warlike than joe biden's where they embrace the lunacy that can really hurt this country. because they are not representing people like bryce mitchell. he seems like a republican voter. it's 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter. from arkansas. someone asked him at a press event. here is what he said. >> wanted to get your thoughts on the whole russia and ukraine situation.

>> here is my first thought. i'm not going nowhere to fight. none of these wars for these politicians. i'm staying at home and when the war comes to arkansas i will dig my boots in the ground and i will die for everything i love and i will not retreat. this country is invaded and everybody is saying we got evacuate and leave, i will not. i will dig my boots into arkansas soil and i will fight for the people that i love love for the length of it all up, and the way of life i love. but i'm not going over to fight. i don't know what is going on, to be honest. i really don't. there is so much stuff. and i don't think nobody knows what is going on. there is been so much political corruption in that area. you have biden and has signed making a [bleep] ton of money off of -- using our tax dollars to bribe their people. that's treasonous in my opinion. city of hunter biden and his son using our tax dollars. if you don't do this we are taking your tax dollars. he shouldn't be giving our tax

dollars of that anyways. we veterans adheres to the foul sleeping on the street and you give our tax dollars to the ukrainians. i don't know what is going on over there but i'm not going over there and fighting. >> tucker: tell us how he is a putin stooge, lindsey graham and -- tell us how he is a more mobile. when the work comes to arkansas, he said, i will dig my boots into the ground and i will die for everything i love. that's the american position. fight to the death to defend what you love. your people, your family, your country. to defend it. that's what we call it the defense department. not call the department of nation building. or the bureau of trans evangelism. bryce mitchell may not have good grammar but he understands exactly what is going on. even the people who claim to represent him and our country have no idea. this is a fox news alert as we

open tonight there is news reporting out of ukraine that there is some sort of firefight over the skies of the capital city. plans were reportedly being shot down. is that true? or is all of this i do? we are going to take that breaking news to doug, a retired army colonel who has seen, and knows its cost and has gained wisdom from them. thanks so much for joining us tonight. how do you assess what little we know about this report and others like it coming in from ukraine? >> let me say, god bless arkansas. and bryce mitchell. he has it right. we are in a very dangerous position right now. we have a president of the united states who wants ukrainian pilots to come to poland, climate of fighter jets on the ground in poland, and fly them into ukraine to join the fight against the russians. he made a very good decision about the no-fly zone.

he needs to reverse this decision immediately. this is the first decisive step across the line into what could make us a cobelligerent in the war in ukraine. moscow will not take this likely. lightly. they have exercised great restraint toward us even that we have continued to pile great quantities of military equipment into the people they are fighting. but this is a step too far. and there are a whole range of responses from tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles to destroy all the airports and all the airfields in poland were frankly anywhere else in europe where we have u.s. aircraft potentially. all the way up to a nuclear strike. the good news is that putin will not launch a nuclear strike unless we use one and i can't imagine the president doing that. but nevertheless, it's a danger in the seems to escape invidious attention. the other point that is very important about the russians, for the russians, this is a nexus until question. it will not allow ukraine to

join nato or any other alliance that is aimed at russia. they want a nonaligned neutral ukraine. that is the first condition and it's one we should accept. we should be de-escalating this. not escalating. that is very important. as far as what the ukrainians have to say, we should treat wherever we hear right now with great film like a grain salt. you cannot know with absolute precision what is happening on the battlefield unless you are there. we will know a lot when this is over. but right now we should be very careful to assume that much of what we are hearing from both sides may not be accurate. >> tucker: can you sum up to the extent you understand it with the mission here is? i think many people would be willing to take some measure of risk on behalf of the country if they understood what the plan was. the plan seems to be to prolong the fighting in ukraine to what end? i honestly don't understand it. do you? >> it's a good question and it's one worth answering.

i do think the plan is to prolong the fighting on the assumption that over time the russians can be driven out of ukraine. and if the russian army cannot be driven out, which i think many people realize is not going to happen, then the plan is to complete the destruction of ukraine by turning it into a quasi-afghan us end. that also is not going to happen. these things will happen because the europeans will not go along. the germans have already made a very clear that they are going to continue to buy energy and food from russia. so will other european states. the sanctions that you rightly point out will do a lot of damage to us. they are not going to make much difference to russia. china will stand with russia. it knows it has to. russia has an abundance of food and energy. china will take it all. russia will not suffer as a result of our sanctions. in fact, it may break down the financial system that we have set up to punish everyone in the world we don't like. >> tucker: what a tragedy to see all the people with good

well i know personally a lot of conservatives are supporting this dove don't understand how malicious the intent is and don't understand how destructive the effect is. i appreciate you being rave enough in the face of scrupulous attacks from people like liz cheney. thank you. liz cheney called that man a tool of putin. we have a lot more on what is happening in ukraine but just ahead kamala harris clearly has a new strategy. we are going to use the war to force you to get an electric car. okay. exclusive report on that next.

one althy joints and inflammation support. unlike regular turmeric supplements qunol's superior absorption helps me get the full benefits of turmeric. the brand i trust is qunol. >> tucker: gas prices have gone up steadily throughout the crisis. that is remain consistent. the gas prices broken a record. the national average for a gallon in this country is $4.10.

so in response to this, the biden white house, because can make this up, sent a delegation to venezuela to discuss importing their oil. of course. meanwhile, the increasingly ludicrous pete buttigieg is on a mission is telling everyone to buy electric cars paid only 60 grand a piece. no problem. don't worry about where the electricity comes from here that's not important. if all of that sounds insane, relax. we have this handled. we have someone very incompetent in charge of the gas crisis. as the very same person who oversaw the border crisis and the ukrainian crisis. it is kamala harris. today, kamala harris, you can't even make this up, the administration's master plan. >> we are all in the midst of a turning point. we have the technology to transition to a serious omission fleet. we can address the climate crisis and grow our economy at

the same time. and i am here today to say together we all are doing just that. >> tucker: so this is someone who knows nothing about energy which is very complicated, nothing about economics which is pretty complicated, never built a single thing and her entire life. only been a parasite on our political system. that is it. and she is telling us she is in charge of our energy grid and how you live day-to-day. the single most important factor of the societies is where energy comes from. and now kamala harris has decided she is in charge of it and need steer a mission. if you're concerned about the outcome of the two things you look to immediately our natural gas which is a low emitting energy source and nuclear which is a nonemitting energy source. both of which are being ignored completely by the administration. why is that? if they cared about climate change would be all in on gas and nuclear.

they're willing on green energy projects that their donors are invested in. oh, it's another scam. like the president's son getting rich which we have a moral duty to defend. something is getting paid and they are. they are all in on it and because they are, you are getting completely shafted. and they are telling you you should feel good about that. but you shouldn't at all. the invasion of ukraine has highlighted something they call esg. what is that? stands for environmental social government. so most big investors ascribe to this principle. it means investing in things like equity and solar panels. so the chairman of securities and exchange commissions, gary gensler, i pushed for esg to become mandatory in the business world. watch. >> why my talking about climate risk? simple. because investors are.

they want to know how climate-related risks will affect the company's they own. that could mean the physical risk associated with climate change or it might be the steps those companies are taking to lower risk associated with regulation or commitments to lower emissions. this will be good for our economy. >> tucker: okay. it's not going to be good for the economy. one thing we know for a fact is that investors are not thinking about climate change. sorry, that's a flat out lie. if you are saying that with a straight face, you are a liar. and there is something in it in it for you. so in a very clear and smart new op-ed in "the new york post," charlie gasparino argues that this is fraud. and in fact they could help fund the invasion of ukraine. he joins us. >> and may be the invasion of taiwan. >> tucker: so how does this work? such a great piece i hope our viewers read at. >> i want to back up a minute.

fits in the esg mende. electric vehicles. what is in the batteries of an electric car? it is kobold. a mineral. guess where most of the cobalt is located? china. think about that. they don't tell you this. they leave it out and how do i know that? because i know a lot of people on wall street who are laughing at these esg mandates. everybody wants the environment to be better. everybody wants to good -- we can go carbon neutral tomorrow. wouldn't that be great? but if you transition to carbon neutral and a lot of these green energy notes want to do, particularly through esg guidelines, you do it tomorrow without nuclear and natural gas, you're going to start taxing poor people into the middle class with wickedly higher oil prices and you have it right now. that is one part of this raid. the other part is all this comes up under this rubric of the great corporate awakening that came out of the dash i don't know where it came out of but the last few years.

all of these companies have been adopting woke corporate policies and that is how i got into this. if you want -- you have to have this many transgender people, business this way, give this much money to black lives matter. so i asked the people there you are a chinese company, how many directors you have to have that belong to the pew secreted uighur minority. none, doesn't extend to that. so that, which is a real, they get screwed while we can reach or signal here at home. you could under esg guidelines invest in putin's oil companies. and his oligarch friends. those companies can under this sort of great corporate awakening list on the nasdaq. mcdonald's no problem operating in moscow while

vladimir putin is wiping out the chechens. carpet bombing. killing people. it was the biggest crock of you know what that i've ever seen. it is adopted by many companies. many companies are being forced to adopt it by big investors who wanted to be adopted, that are embracing this stuff. and it is clearly political. and it's scary. and it's also, i will tell you, i talked to a lot of people about this. i am not an esg hater necessarily. some people get hard with being far to the left of esg. some people and i think unfairly like larry fink. what he is saying is let's do a transition. let's not do this radical stuff which essentially means that exxonmobil has to reduce its carbon footprint. they can't trail but it allows us -- that forces us to buy oil from putin's russia. and that is kind of what i was trying to say in the column and i hope people wake up to this.

>> tucker: i hope so too. let's have a democracy where voters decide where the country goes and not larry think or anyone else. >> i would say he gets a bad rap. listen to them. he is much more for a transition and it's the zealots that are taking over here. >> tucker: i love to your uighur question. charlie. great to see you. thank you. everything happening in ukraine, 3:00 a.m. there. hearing that planes were shot down. can vouch for that. we do have a reporter live on the ground though. also new developments from the last election which honestly shocked us. we will tell you what they were after the break.

of things you are not allowed say could literally gets you silenced uncensored for saying is there was voter fraud in the last election. the fact is there was in the deeper you dig more of it you find. the wisconsin office of special councils released its second report on the subject. it is pretty unbelievable. the report found among other things, "100% voting rights in many nursing homes in different counties. several of these nursing home residents that had voted have been recently though mike previously declared incompetent. also a former wisconsin supreme court justice will be speaking to him that much greater length but we wanted to preview the conversation right now. thanks so much for coming on. the report is in my opinion pretty shocking but give us the overview of what you found. >> tucker, the overview relates back to mike right back to what you said in your opening segment. the relatively unremarkable

observation that all lives are equal. it should be unremarkable to say that all votes in our democracy are equal. but that wasn't the case in wisconsin in november 2020. we had a wave of massive election bribery in which government officials in the five zuckerberg-sponsored cities participated as well is what you related or introduce your audience to which is the government-sponsored elder abuse all to ring out votes from people who frankly were victimized by the very people at the wisconsin elections commission were supposed to keep our voters safe. >> tucker: i am a little confused. so's mark zuckerberg is a tech billionaire. not a government official. no legal or constitutional right to control our elections but it sounds like he had a great deal of control over the elections in wisconsin.

>> he had a great deal. he adopted a plan by a guy who became his employee named david who wrote the unsightly titled book, "a citizen's guide to beating donald trump." and on november 112016, david did a postmortem on the hillary clinton's failure to win and he said the two big mistakes that the hillary clinton campaign made or failing to target cities like milwaukee and failing to drive up the numbers of the african american vote. and so mark zuckerberg is $330 million he is going to spend to defeat donald trump. and he puts david's lessons of the 2016 campaign into operation in wisconsin. and now we are seeing a complete cover-up and obstruction by the very so-called public servants who ran the selection who should have been in charge but he

delegated it out to mark zuckerberg's agents and virtual employees. we had one guy, a lawyer from new york, who was running the election site on election day in the city of green bay, one of our five largest cities. also one of the five cities to receive zuckerberg money. $8.8 million between the five. >> tucker: it's all beyond belief. he would think that people who wanted to defend democracy would be average but of course they are in favor of it. this report, and again, we haven't always highlighted voter fraud on the show, but this report proves that. it's horrifying and i look forward to speaking you in much greater length. so we will see you soon. thank you. speaking of which, for that program, we took a very hard look at the digital civil war unfolding in this country. the effect of technology on politics and on our minds. one of the few people who seems to understand it. he described in our conversation

how investors have fueled growth in the technology industry and what it is done to the country. here is part of the conversation. >> the digital medium has specific characteristics. and what it is doing us is it is causing to us to understand that machines that can remember it more powerfully than we ourselves can imagine reduce our human stature in a way that has never been experienced before. and in the face of that kind of apocalyptic unveiling of this new form of technology, this new medium, all the standard boilerplate answers that have come to us that have been handed down through modern modern philosophy, postmodern philosophy. follow your passion and all that kind of stuff. those answers to the ultimate question, who are we? why are we here? why bother? what's the point? those answers starts melting down pier they don't have the grip on us, the hold on us they

once did appear they don't imagination. so in the face of this big unveiling, where do we look for answers about who we are? about why we should bother? these ultimate questions have theological answers and the advent of digital technology is returning to people and their perception and understanding and accessibility that reality is fundamentally theological. you have to be worshiping something. and that is why we are in a state of war. and as the spiritual conflict is playing out, we have political conflict too in those things sneak up and away that secular life is not supposed to happen that way. but look around you. we have a digital civil war going on. we have people with deep seated differences, different wagers about the meaning of life and why we are here and those are coming into conflict. and there is a wrestling match going on right now in america for our control over the

technology but also for control over our souls. >> tucker: boys are true and never better explained in that conversation that are worth thinking about once in a while. head over to tuckercarlson capsoff.com. we will be right back.

>> tucker: that's it for us. we appreciate your spending an hour with us. there is an awful lot going on, very little honesty, lots of unspoken agendas that are

malicious and that will affect how we live for the rest of our lives, it's worth paying attention. we'll try to be as honest as we possibly can be paid we'll be back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., they show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. here is sean hannity. >> sean: tucker, thank you. we begin with a fox news alert tonight, new evidence that vladimir putin is targeting innocent civilians, men, women, and children, as russia's invasion has now stopped, it is a grinding halt. horrific images show men, women, children being murdered in broad daylight in the streets, but the biden administration still refuses to do the one sanction that would actually have the most impact, and that is blocked the importation of russian oil. now, this is the average price per gallon of gasoline, now officially higher than ever, but instead of increasing america's production of natural energy, of which we have an abundance of, biden is now begging --
