asmr, i don't feel a tingling pleasure, i just feel annoyed, very annoyed. and fran, jesse, please don't whisper or do asmr. it doesn't suit you. no, it doesn't. i'm more of a screamer. tucker is up next. always remember, i'm waters and this is my world. >> tucker carlson: welcome to tucker carlson. tonight, a lot of things are going on around the world at the moment, but we thought weed begin tonight with a report from your own country to give you something a little different of what you've been watching every moment of every day for the last three weeks. on your screen pictures from brooklyn, new york. these are people waiting in line at a foot bank. the queue stretches for blocks. it's what we used to call a bread line. most of these people are not

homeless or addicted to drugs, some of them have jobs. they just can't afford enough food. very few living americans have seen anything like this. it's been nearly 100 years since the united states experienced wide spread food shortages, long enough most of us have forgotten what it means. here's what it means. if you want to make a society volatile, not just angry and divided, which is where we are now, but revolutionary and explosive, then you threaten the food supply. more governments have fall up to rising food prices than any other cause by far. hungry people are dangerous. the biden administration doesn't seem to notice this is happening or acknowledge it. like all of the liberals, they treat unchanging truths about anything as heresy. they sensor them and shut them down. they live in an ideological world they created. they believe reality conforms to their theories, not the other way around. why wouldn't they think that if they change their sex by wishing it so. you can eliminate inflation by

pretending it doesn't exist. when you're a god, there are no limits. the problem is, they're not god, they're not even capable economists. more than a decade of reckless fiscal policies have devalued the u.s. dollar to the point where middle class people can barely survive. the suffering of americans doesn't have the imminence of war footage from ukraine, but it's real and it matters. and here's what it looks like in number terms. this year, according to new estimate, rising inflation will cost the american family $,500 in extra posttax income. that might be bearable if you make $250,000 a year if you notice it. but if you make $30,000 a year, that's a disaster, you will radically change the way you live. your standard of living will plummet that's what millions of americans are facing right now. it's not a talking point. it's real. america's for tax reform found between 2020 and 2021, quote,

the bottom 20% of earners spent $309 more on food, $ up 1 more on energy, $476 more on shelter, $390 more on other commodities, and $224 more on other services. those are the numbers from november. they've risen dramatically since then. they're continuing to rise. nationally, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, up 13%. in san francisco, a dozen eggs is almost $5, orange juice in miami is over $4, so is a chicken breast in boston. a pound of ground beef, hamburger in l.a.? $6.34, a pound of bacon in new york city, $ up.28. in chicago last year, green grapes cost $2.50 a pound. now they're $4. the price of chicken wings in the cat skills went from $8 to $20. order something else. if you try to drink a pint of guinness in california yesterday to celebrate st. patrick's day,

it costs you $ le.55 for a pint of beer. prices of everything are rising far faster than wages are -- a lot faster. and that means that in very real terms, the most real, people are becoming poorer. not just people who buy things, consumers, but also people who sell them, retailers. this is a disaster for small business. watch? >> for a cold hard lesson on inflation, step into the refrigerator where corinna stores the food supplies she just bought for her popup food stand business in phoenix, arizona. >> usually it would be -- it would be about $1 a poundf right now, it's $1.84 a pound. this cheese used to be $9. now it's like $14.56. of. >> that makes it hard for someone like you to run your business. >> yeah, it makes it unbelievably difficult for us to predict any pricing. i can't even say i'm going to charge you a certain price right now. because in three days, it's

probably bound to change. you know? and it's never for the better. >> did you catch that at the end. prices changing every three days. it's like zimbabwe. that's not the picture of a stable economy but not just food that's moving fast. the city of baltimore, the costs of electricity has risen 18% in a single year, that does not happen with utilities. but it did. in philadelphia, the average utility bill rose from $477 a month to $651 a month according to national association of home builders, building material prices increased almost 21% year-over-year. overall lumber prices alone have added $19,000 to the price of a home in the past six months. that's one of the reasons housing prices are so high. then, of course, there's gasoline. in los angeles, it now costs $180 to fill a chevy suburban. one tank of gas, $180. nationally, gas is up nearly

40%. here's what that looks like. >> these prices are eye popping here at the chevron, it's $ 7.29 a gallon for a small car with a $12 gallon tank. it would cost you $87 to fill it all the way up. of course, we know it's the top end of the spectrum here in california. the most expensive state. the average price for a gallon is $5.6. but we all notah nationally these prices are through the roof. the average cost nation-wide now is $4.33 a gallon. that's up 63 cents in just a week's time. and, in fact, right now the average cost has climbed above $4 a gallon in a staggering 38 states. >> rising gas prices makes people desperate. you wouldn't know that from watching television because most of the people who bring you the news don't know what the price of gas is and a lot of them don't care because they don't drive themselves. but the rest of the country cares very deeply what the price of gas is. in some cases, the problem is so bad, gas prices are so expensive, that thieves have

taken to drilling holes in gas tanks to steal it. >> with the national average at $4. 33 a gallon, a troubling new trend is on the rise, gas theft. crimes of opportunity now happening across the country. >> criminals are targeting unattended vehicles for gas but they're not going in through here. instead, they're drilling holes from underneath your car and draining your tank. >> once a tank is drilled, it can't be fixed. getting a new one could cost drivers more than $1,000. >> tucker carlson: contrary to what you may have learned from the ticktock feed, the combustion engine is not a sin, a basis of moral crisis, but a miracle upon which all civil staigs rests. your amazon package arrives because of gasoline. so does uber eats. you can fly to see your relatives across the country because of gasoline. so, when the price of gasoline

rises, everyone is affected. no matter who they voted for or no matter if they noticed it or not. here's how the people in the state of texas are reacting to the rising gas prices. >> gas has reached an all-time record high, here in texas, $4.39 a gallon let's find out what they say. >> high real high. >> ridiculous. >> spending more money to go do -- to make money. so, it's hard. >> it's outrageous, you know? >> it's outrageous, not going to lie to you. >> high for a long time, now they're too high. >> tucker carlson: will the capital of ukraine fall to the russians, we hope not. americans care about. how high will gas get? they care about that even more. they care deeply because it affects their lives so dramatically. yet, the coverage of this is not proportionate. you almost never hear nick ask what do you think of the price of gas? but if you leave the tv studios

of new york, los angeles, and washington, you will find, people really do care. every product in this country with some exceptions but not that many, is delivered thanks to gasoline. that means with rising gas prices, all products become more expensive. the cheapest washing machine you can buy at a best buy in south carolina right now, $450. furniture and belling across the country, 17% more expensive than it was a year ago. 12 months ago, a 28 cubic foot samsung stainless steel fridge was $1700 in home depot, and now $2,000. so on, for everything. particularly for vehicles. the average price of a used car is up more than 30% nationally. up 35% in massachusetts and tennessee. up 38% in florida and maryland. it's up 40% or more in louisiana and new york, montana, and north dakota. that means the average cost of a used car in the state of montana is now more than $42,000, for a

used car, one with high mileage. by comparison last march, the average used toyota sold for $20,000. the average used toyota now goes for $28,000. these are real numbers with real effects to restate the standard of living of americans who for almost 100 years have enjoyed the highest standard of living in any big country is plummeting. so, what's the administration doing to fix this? what are they doing to help? of course, that depends on whether or not you're ukrainian. if you are, they can hell you if you're not, the transportation secretary recommends, you take the bus. >> you do have a lot of capacity in public transit and that's something that, you know, i hope becomes a means of choice. we need to make sure that there's less pressure on family budgets from transportation, which often the second biggest budget item after housing

itself. one of the tools that we have in our tool kit to do that is to make sure there's access to excellent public transportation. >> tucker carlson: take the bus? yeah, homeless schizophrenics have been doing it for generations. why shouldn't you. that's the transportation secretary. so, maybe the first question would be, what are you going to do about gas prices, pal? the roads are falling apart. maybe you could fix that. no, one of the tools in our tool kit is you can ride the bus with the crazy people. and you'll like it. but that's not their only plan. to fight inflation. the other plan -- blame others. >> now that we're living in america where there's a lot more concentration in certain industries, argue look at the oil industry, look at meat industry, look at groceries, generally. what's happened is these companies have said, you know? we'll pass along costs, but while we're at it and everyone is talking about rising costs, let's just add an extra big

dollop of cost increases to expand our profit. >> tucker carlson: you just heard from someone who is a sitting united states senator whose total reservoir of knowledge about the world is smaller than the sink in your powder room. this is someone who knows literally nothing about how anything workings. the meat industry? what would that be, senator warren? she has no idea what she's talking about. she has no interest in learning why the dollar is less valuable than it was ten years ago and she has no interest whatsoever in improving your life. so, the question once again is how long can this continue? it's one thing to pretend that boys can compete in girl's sports and that's totally natural. that's always the way it's been. that may be to people but if they can't afford to buy groceries, boy, you are teetering on the edge of something awful. they should wake up -- soon. charlie heard is the

opinion editor at "the washington times" soon be taking the bus with the rest of us. we're happy to have him join us. charlie hurt, thanks for coming on. if all of the "let them eat cake" responses and we hear them all the time, take the bus has got to be pretty close to the top. >> yeah, spoken by someone who has never been on the bus or to a bus stop in a long time, obviously. but, you know, you ask the most important question, what are the priorities, what are they trying to do about this? the simple answer is this -- just this week, our -- our great leaders in washington agreed to send another billion dollars to ukraine. and right there, that -- that alone right there tells you what their priorities are in terms of who they care about and who they don't care about. they don't -- you know, we had a joint session of congress to talk about ukraine, when was the last time we had a joint session of congress to talk about the middle class being crushed by inflation? it hasn't happened. i assure you, it will not happen. but here's the other thing. the other thing about that billion dollars they decided to

give to ukraine -- but we're told this is a global economy, and it is. and when you flood the market with another billion dollars, you know what that does to the money that's in your wallet and all of the suckers who have saved their money? all of those people who are going to have to go out and pay the grocery bill tomorrow? that makes every penny in their pocket worth less money because they've just fire hosed another billion dollars at something. and this -- and, you know, it is so simple. a lot of this stuff is complex. this one thing is so simple. these people in washington, who supposedly represent us, are 100% responsible for what you're seeing at the gas meter and at the grocery store checkout line. they have created this mess. and it is the most devastating attacks there can be on middle -- on working middle-class families. >> tucker carlson: i will even say upper middle-class families. inflation is so high, even if

you are starting to do well, all of a sudden, you're not. all of the people on television who know nothing about anything saying energy sanctions against putin are going to hurt putin. most people would be in favor of punishing putin for invading ukraine. i'm in that camp. but making the price of oil higher helps putin, of course, it's a petrol state, it hurts us. has this not occurred to anyone? or it's the point of it, maybe? >> the only reason vladimir putin had the money to invade ukraine is because oil prices went up. and i gave them the wealth to do that. you can pat yourself on the back and say you ear not going to buy russian oil. you're buying russian oil. it's that you're going to pay a lot more money for it. by the way, a bunch of evil people in syria or iran or wherever you want to -- whatever horrible place you want to mention, they're all going to get a cut of it too. but you're still going to buying

oil from russia. >> tucker carlson: yeah. anything -- seems like it should be a baseline pledge any official promises no it to do anything intentionally to raise gas prices on middle class. the opposite -- charlie, thank you. >> good to see you. >> joe biden celebrating st. patrick's day yesterday and delivered a message to the irish community in this country. here he is on capitol hill. >> bless me, father, for i'm about to sin. i -- well, i just want you to know, i may be irish, but i'm not stupid. i married dominique chiapacca's daughter. >> tucker carlson: i may be irish but i'm not stupid. pretty funny. we should get a pass on that. we should all be offended. nancy pelosi, then, because it always gets better in washington, decides to insult

everybody's intelligence by reading a limerick that she got by text message from bono, her friend, bono. >> most of us, we're always, whether we're in ireland or here or wherever it is, upon know has been a very irish part of our lives. o. st. patrick, he drove out the snakes with his prayers that's not all it takes they struggle for us to be free from the psycho in this human family ire lapd sorrow and pain is now the ukraine and st. patrick's name is now zelensky. [ applause ] >> tucker carlson: well, she's lost touch a little bit. i don't think that's an overstatement but you have to wonder when she describes bono as irish. irish is not the first word that comes to mind when you think bono? you think of the in house entertainment of davos, not the

average irishman, bono. cases of his limerick coming in. roger waters, one of the founders of pink floyd mocked bono and pelosi in a tweet. he called them egits. i don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound complimentary. both parties in washington would like your kids to fight russia in in a war. they don't talk about what it would look like. what would it look like if we go to war with russiament. not russian disinformation, it's a question we should discuss before it happens. that's straight ahead.

>> this is a fox news alert on the war in ukraine. i'm kevin cork in washington. russian missiles hitting an aircraft repair center in lyviv. the city's mayor said several missiles hit the city. the only one in the country capable of repairing crucial mig 29 fighter jets. four miles from lyviv's downtown. the closest war has come to that city in western ukraine. lyviv served as shelter if for thousands fleeing the country. in the capital city of kyiv, one person killed when a missile hit an apartment building this morning. 12 others were rescued from the rubble.

russia continues ramping up in the last week. the u.n. believes 6 million people have been displaced. stay for the latest on the war in ukraine. i'm kevin cork in washington. now back to more tucker carlson tonight. >> tucker carlson: most americans deeply sympathize with the people of ukraine. they got invaded. who wouldn't sympathize with them. so, our congress and our executive branch who have been busy shovelling armaments to the government of ukraine. again, no one is questioning anyone's motives here. but if you're going to accelerate a conflict in eastern europe, you have to wonder what the consequences might be. what would it mean if the united states was sucked into a war with russia. one of the questions we asked to congresswoman ria salazar of florida. she's the one who refused to rule out a no-fly zone in

ukraine. called for it, watch. >> my position is we should not take no-fly zone off of the table. but before that, that's two. we need to do one. and one is to give zelensky exactly what he's asking for. no troops on the ground. let's give him the migs and the f-300s, what he needs to defend his own air space. so, he will create his no -- his own no-fly zone. >> so, if you're starting to get the impression that the people form lating our foreign policy have no freaking clue what they're talking about, and haven't thought past, say, tonight in the implications of what they're recommending, you may be on to something. there are a lot of deeply ignorant reckless people, even someone motivated by perfectly noble impulses who are running things. so now may be the time to pause and ask what would it mean to enter into a hot war with russia? brian dean wright is a former cia operations officer.

he thought a lot about that. he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. this is one of those questions. i think the public has the right to determine what it thinks of this. and make that decision on the basis of all available facts. so, i would be interested in asking what you think, how close are we to a -- an open war with russia? and what would it mean for the united states. >> great question. it gets worse every day. the possibility of a hot war are real and getting more real every day. what i'm asking america to do tonight is put aside their hatred for putin or zelensky for that matter or ukraine or russia. put that aside for a moment. understand that we have in effect declared war against russia. we have done three things. one, we have crippled their economy. two, we are shoving in all of these weapons. and, third, this hasn't gotten a lot of press. we are giving tactical intelligence to the ukrainian

government to put an x on the forehead of a soldier and russian equipment. let me say it differently. our spies and satellites are helping the ukrainians kill russians. so, we have declared war. so, we should be asking, shouldn't we, well what's that war going to look like, to your point? and we should start with the first place of who's putting together our war response? well, we know that the folks of the pentagon are the ones who primarily responsible for that. but actually, wait a second, they just got us out of a 20-year war, or actually they kept us in one and we lost it to goat herders, okay? now we have folks on capitol hill and the white house who were also around for 20 years and they're the ones formulating the policies that also lost that war. so, the people who are now formulating our response to a nuclear-armed russia are the same ones who couldn't figure out how to beat goat herders in afghanistan. that should cause everyone a very real degree of concern. and we should be asking each

other about it and we should be talking about it. so, then the second question becomes, if, in fact, this gets hot, what happens? we know that it will escalate. and so that means some of the first steps will asymmetric, right? russia can't sanction our economy the way we did his, so he's going to do things like a cyber attack. i want people to ask themselves, what if in their hometown, russia were to shut off the lights or the water? you think there might be riots? probably. brought forward this horrific idea and notion tonight in brooklyn and other places of bread line. you uh think that could get violent? of course it would. how will people's mayors and governors respond to riots. we saw it a couple of years ago? will that give you pause? the blm riots? so, we have a whole variety of issues about the sacrifice that will go on. that's a whole different segment. but it involves young people dying and we should also be talking about that, because our people in washington aren't going to be the ones sacrificing.

>> tucker carlson: but they are the ones who feel virtuous by doing all of this stuff and damn the consequences. i see a pattern or recurring theme here. i'm grateful for the clarity you provided. brian dean wright, i hope you'll come back. thank you. >> you bet. >> tucker carlson: so, speaking of the people who are pushing for this with no regard to the consequences, one of them is called julia iofi. she's one of the silliest, least informed people in american media but that doesn't prevention her from becoming an authority on twitter. it's a low bar. she spends most of her time demanding that you send your children to war with russia and attacking anyone who doesn't want to do that as a stooge for putin. she believes passionately in ukrainian nationalism. that would be fine, except she doesn't believe in american nationalism, which is weird, since she lives here. she thinks american nationalism is immoral. she told us that directly in

2016 when she was writing for the new republic. nationalism in this country, putting america first is offensive and wrong, she said. but yet now she believes putting ukraine first is inspiring and great. huh. we don't mean to single out julia iofi. virtually everyone agrees with her. nationalism is great over there and a deep threat here, in fact, immoral. ponder that for a moment. she may have noticed the media fawning over a man who is beating women in swimming races. he's dominating the competition, in fact, other swimmers are going public with their frustration and humiliation. maybe humiliation is point of this exercise. did that occur to you? that story is next.

swim team. this week she won the women's ncaa championship race in the 500-yard free style event. emma weyht would have won, she's. >> the best. but she was forced to compete with a dude so she came in second. finally, actual women are speaking out about this spectacle that degrades and eliminates them as a category. >> you're a virginia tech swimmer, what did you think about lia thomas swimming today? >> we're frustrated with someone who has capabilities more than we have to compete and take opportunities away from other women. i have a teammate who did not make finals today because she was bumped out of finals. it's hard breaking to see somebody who went through puberty as a male, has the body of a male, be able to absolutely blow away the competition. >> tucker carlson: so there's a dude in the pool and he's beating all the women. of course, because he's way bigger, because he's a man.

so, at any other time in human history, people would say, that's insane, get out of the pool, there's a men's team you can swim on. but now because everything is a lie, and we have to go along with those lies as if they're true, the mind-bending today show segment, like this, just appeared and nobody said anything. watch this. >> in addition to watching for her winning those races, hoda, we're also watching for the potential. she's within striking distance of the long-held record by missie franklin and katie ledecki. we'll see if she touches those records this weekend too. >> if she touches those records. they're crazy. they're not. they're doing it for a reason. chadwick moore, contributing editor. here's my theory. they don't care about swimming or transpeople. i really don't. it's an effort to troll us, humiliate us, force us to accept something everybody knows is false because when they do that,

they subdue us. that's my theory. >> i can't wrap my mind around it either. maybe we'll see this young man about how he pulled off the greatest practical joke in all of human history. that doesn't make sense. the only o'thing, for this young gentleman, what is it in for you? you know you're a fraud. you know you're not the best swimmer what is note vating this? i don't know this person. anybody in that situation, i don't think you like beating up on people much more physically inferior to you. i don't know what's going on. and women are finally -- >> tucker carlson: but that's it. this guy wants to say i'm woman -- i'm not -- i don't care. what -- that's fine. go do your thing. but why is he getting in to a competition where he's guaranteed to win and hurt these girls like it's such an act of aggression.

why would we celebrate someone who would do something like that. >> that's exactly how i feel. and nobody -- i'm like, this feels violent and creepy and weird. and you see it all over these -- no one says that. and that is what we're all feeling. these poor women, my god, you can see it all over their faces and you know the coaches via the administrators say you better not say a word about this to the media. keep your mouth shut. they complied and finally they're getting to perhaps speak up. but it's clown world. it is ridiculous. none of it makes sense. i hope it ends up being a troll and you get the exclusive on that. >> tucker carlson: it's ritual humiliation for the rest of us, i'm sure. great to see you tonight. thank you. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> tucker carlson: out of nowhere, "the new york times" acknowledged we've been lying to you for more than a year. actually, hunter biden's lap top was not some russian propaganda op, it was real.

interesting. why are they telling us this now? you think there's got to be a reason. glen greenwald may know the reason. we're going to ask him, next. i was trying to refinance my mortgage. i went to check my credit score and i found a couple of inquiries that i had not initiated. within a few weeks of working with creditrepair.com, my credit score went up about 60 points. get started at creditrepair.com

centuries ago, native californians thrived on this land. now, we share a destiny with all californians. when voters granted our sovereign nations exclusive gaming rights, it advanced self-sufficiency and created thousands of good jobs. but now, out of state corporations are coming to california. their online sports betting initiative would break the promise between us. it's bad for tribes and all californians. join us. protect the promise.

>> tucker carlson: well, it's been about 24 hours since "the new york times" finally acknowledged that they had been lying to us for a year and hunter biden's lap top was not russian disinformation, it was real. why did they tell us now? they impose sensorship on the entire country on the basis of that lie. that sensorship remains. but it's kind of strange they came out of nowhere in the middle of a war fever to tell us that. politico, for example, said this. hunter biden's story is russian disinformation dozens of intel officials say, that's what they told us last year. they have been corrected. now joe biden, he used that report to dismiss the story on the debate stage. in case you forgot, here it is. we're in a situation where we have foreign countries trying to interfere in the outcome of our election. his own national security advisor tells us what is happening with his buddy -- i shouldn't -- i will.

his buddy, rudy giuliani. he's being useds a russian pawn. he's being fed information that is russian -- that is not true. >> tucker carlson: so before you get to glen greenwald who knows all answers to everything pretty much, something is going on here. "the new york times" has attacked joe biden. we attack joe biden every night. "new york times" doesn't very often. why? there's got to be some reason. glen greenwald, he writes for substack and we're happy to have him join us tonight. you've been on this story since day one. pull the threads together for us, if you would? >> yeah, i mean the entire liberal wing of the corporate media which is basically the entire corporate media with a few exceptions spent a year and a half now disseminating a cia lie, which is that the hunter lap top ooems published by the washington toast were quote/unquote russian

disinformation. the letter from the intelligence officials, the dozens of them, on which they relied, did not even say that. they admitted, those officials did, that they have no evidence for making this claim and have no reason to believe it except this kind of tingling sensation in their stomach that gives them like an intuitive sense that maybe it's the russians and the media went even further than the trained liars in the intelligence community and said it is russian disinformation. there's been evidence, as you know, from the beginning proving that this lap top was completely authentic. i was willing to stake my entire journalistic reputation writing about it. censored by media. i quit in protest over it. the evidence has long been there. "the new york times," i have to say, is one of the few outlooks that didn't affirm the. they did acknowledge early on in the understated way there was no evidence for it. but now they've come out and said we, "the new york times," have been able to authenticate these materials. i think it's because somebody is leaking to us information about what is depending in very broad

ongoing criminal investigations of hunter biden and to report on it, they needed to use materials from the archive and to do that, they needed to authenticate it. they have an interest in doing so now. a year and a half ago before the election to debunk the lies being told, they didn't. >> you wonder if it's -- i don't want to go conspiracy nut on the air or anything, but you wonder if it's some broader effort to get biden out. you know? your mind does go there, i will say. i just want to say that. glen greenwald, thank you for your ongoing ceaseless fight against sensorship. i appreciate it. the department of homeland security looking for volunteers to help with the incoming flood of migrants at the southern border. millions -- customs and border protection continues to encounter large numbers of individuals in the southern border. we're seeking your help to support the ccb front line workforce. isn't that a core function of government?

victor davis hanson would know. he's a senior fellow at the hoover institution. he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. volunteers to seal the border. what is this? >> i think it's shorthand for in 14 months, it's not that they made the border porous, they blew it up, it doesn't exist anymore. they have no problem because they're ideologues but they do have trouble with losing power because that issue is one that americans care deeply about. one of the reasons they're going to get voted out in november and they're starting to panic. they know there's a solution -- finish the wall, like we did. we were working on it. go down to mexico and jawbone the president, obador, and say don't do this. and it's to stop the catch and release and they can't do that. because the solution is worse than the disease. and instead they start insulting the very -- the dhs people, border patrol people by calling them, you know, kind of thugs

that whip innocent immigrants as they did a few months ago. they turn around and say, now will you volunteer now that we slurred and smeared you. and i don't think they're ever going to change unless when you get the rumors that the so-called russians are coming over or might come across the border in the way that cubans tried to and they deported them. or, if in this midterm election, some reports suggest that 50% of hispanics may vote republican, if that were to happen, then i would think they would want more border security in either of those instances. because they don't really care about the border itself other than they don't believe in borders but they do care about using the border to get constituencies to enhance their power. and if those constituencies are russians or cubans or mexican-americans who turn conservative, then they wouldn't want an open border. it's a lot like energy and gas prices -- they've got their wish. they had 14 months.

they destroyed things. and they know the solution -- pump more oil, you know, print less money. but they can't do it because that solution is worse than the disease. so they say things like, you know, have volunteers at the border, take the bus, oil companies are doing anything but the solution. because they're ideologues the only thing they care about is power. that's all. they don't care about people, just power and the retention of power. >> tucker carlson: so, hispanics are pushing him to close the border. can we take two seconds to acknowledge how amusing and great that is. >> yeah. and if they start voting republican, they will be down there closing the border finally, because the last thing they want are millions of people that might vote like cubans. and, so -- i know they're ideologues -- but i mean theirology is power and they change their politics in any other direction they need to

retain power. they sent cubans back as soon as they start coming in numbers. and if russians started across the border, tucker, they go insane. they will say, you know, everybody who comes across the border except you russian refugees. >> tucker carlson: even the ukrainians. i don't think there's liberal ukrainians, other than zelensky. great to see you. great to see you tonight. all so funny. thank you very much. so, balkanizing the country, tribalizing it, making it like rwanda every day. that's what they've been doing for years. what's the goal here? that's next.

episode of tucker carlson today. here's part of that conversation. >> there's no way that i could justify what was going on in the black community with the black church. because jesus said, there will be false prophets that come. the disciples said, how will you know them? he said you will know them by their fruit. not what they do or say, but by what they produce. i looked a the community, if the fruit was rotten, the tree has to be rotten. he you will not get rotten fruit from a good tree. so when i looked at the black community and the black church and i said, what's going on here? i went to the black community and i saw, i didn't see any white republicans, they were telling me white republicans were keeping black people down. you saw a lep rechaun before you saw one in the ghetto. guess what i saw? a lot of black democrats. and amongst them, they were making a lot of money off of the chaos, the black preacher, the black politician, and the black

organizers and they were conduits for the white liberals and the democratic party. >> tucker carlson: vince everett elson, what a guy. that's it for us tonight. what a guy. we'll be back monday and every weeknight, 8:00 p.m., the sworn enemy of lying, smugness, and group think. have a great weekend with the ones you love. see you soon. welcome to hannity. we start this friday news night with a fox news alert. now, tonight, we are nearly a month into putin's hostile invasion of a sovereign country, ukraine, and russian forces are very much stalled all over the country. now, no matter what happens moving forward, this war has been a humiliating disaster for vladimir putin. and now the murdering thug that he is is lashing out. this morning, russia launched a missile attack in western ukraine. and in the south, we continue to see relentless shelling of
