them right here. thank you, guys, for watching. big annoyancement tomorrow on "the five jesse jr. took his first step before he turned 1. >> we have proud. show that video tomorrow. check out tucker and always remember. i'm waters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," in april of 2019. it was before the third or fourth attempt at the office, at that moment most americans thought they knew who jodey arrington jodeyjoe biden was. they weren't familiar with his new face. two years later, they appeared in miami for the first of first

imported primary debate and hard to recognize, people who had known him. made it look like a different person. but most jarring was the fact that he did not sound like the old joe biden. he probably remembered the biden as jovial, irish charm on the bucket list. he was famous for that. on the stage, came off as remote and muted. at times afraid to speak tripping over words and forgetting them. several times that camera caught him staring into the middle distance. apparently absorbed in memory. when biden did manage, he seems highly annoyed. whatever the cause, democratic primary voters were not impressed, dropped ten points overnight. the biden campaign never explained exactly what happened to joe biden that night in miami. but whatever it was, he never got fixed. he continues. from that day until now, probably the most authentic feature of joe biden's public performance has been his anger, which seems to come over him in

waves. watch. >> focus on this man, what he's doing, that no president has ever done. no president. >> why would i take a test? come on, man! that's like saying to you that before you got in this program you are taking tests for taking cocaine or not, what do you think -- >> i'm going to talk! here's the deal. [cheers and applause] fact of the matter is look at what's happening here. >> that's not true. you are saying things, you do not know what you are talking about. who said that? >> isn't that what you said? i've got two words for you, jack. >> that's a great asset. one more question. what is stupid... >> you know exactly what that is. you've seen it and people around

you, people you love. nothing in politics. what you saw as a man whose losing his ability to regulate his emotions. flashes of anger are common among people who are aging, among men, and it often accompanies senility. losing it is a frustrating experience in my heart goes out to anybody who is. deep sympathy for anyone in that position including joe biden. but biden is the president of the united states and the single most volatile moment in the history of our country. biden is leading the u.s. towards war. it's fair to assess the effect on the rest of us to these emotional condition. it's not simply about age. biden is clearly unable to speak with precision. the president of the united states and the world hangs on your every word, when your words constitute american policy and you can change american policy, particulate american foreign policy by simply saying so, it is

essential that you speak the words you intend to speak but you don't get carried away because you are mad and saves them and you don't mean but might threaten the long-term interest of this country. threaten the families and children of the rest of us and our future. but he is. that's exactly what he's doing. it's not a partisan attack. it's true. if you doubt that it's true, watches performs just over the past week. on thursday for example, joe biden would ask how the united states respond if the russian government used chemical weapons in ukraine. that's a hypothetical question. impossible to get to those, they rarely respond hypothetical questions for the simple reason. they don't know the circumstances ahead of time. so there is no reason to risk american prestige or to terrify the rest of the world by saying the wrong thing. they don't. biden had no obligation to answer that question. very few presidents would've answered but peter tended

answer. here's what he said. >> if chemical weapons were used in ukraine, what that trigger a military response? >> it would trigger a response in kind whether or not you're asking if we would cross, we would make that decision at the time. >> tucker: he's closing his eyes to remember what the cue card said. what he's come out with is if russia uses chemical weapons, the u.s. will respond "in-kind." if russia uses chemical weapons, united states will use a chemical weapon. some no american president has said anything like that in your lifetime. you grew up assuming the united states would never use chemical weapons because the united states is not a rogue set down next date. aargh roll globally is to suppress rogue states. and yet in a flash because you couldn't remember the correct words, joe biden, the president

of the united states, reversed 100 years of american security policy in the middle of a war. this did not escape the attention of it own national security advisor who instantly responded by restoring the status quo or attempted to. united states has no intention of using chemical weapons period under any circumstances. flatly contradicting his boss, knowing he works for the president, he wants to do that, but jake sullivan had no choice. he works for a man who cannot even pronounce his own vice president's name consistently. and yet is in charge of the united states at its most delicate moment in our lifetimes. but biden didn't slow down. he kept going. the next day his advisors allowed him to "rally the international community in support of ukraine. as cameras rolled, joe biden

informed of the soldiers that they would soon be sent to ukraine. watch this. >> look how they are stepping up. look how they step up. you are going to see when you there, you are going to see women, young people standing up in the middle in front of a dang tank saying, i'm not leaving, i'm holding my ground. >> the previous president was often criticized, some time with justification for not using words. you can't just tweet out anything. that's the case you heard for four years. it was often rooted in truth. the last president never said anything that even approaches the recklessness of what you just heard. you are going to see, where in ukraine, they are born is going to deep. they had no idea, netted their families, neither did anyone in united states until joe biden set it live.

the white house didn't even know. fox news reached out after those remarks and no one there, no one in the white house were aware that those comments were caught on tape. so how do you explain this abrupt change in american foreign policy? "the president has made clear that we are not sending u.s. troops to ukraine and there is no change in that position." for the second time in three days, the administration has to flatly contradict the commander in chief. and not on a minor question. these are written off as a gaffe. i gaffe is when you mispronounce someone's name. united states is going to use chemical weapons? these are not gaps. these are something else. they are dangerous. that's for sure. the best the white house can do is tell us that the president by saying he sending american

troops to ukraine, he is referring our policy of not sending troops to ukraine. thanks for the clarification. it got even weirder from there. once again completely out of nowhere, no warning whatsoever, and apparently no forethought, joe biden called foraging change in russia. watch this. >> a dictator bent on rebuilding an empire who will never erase people's love for liberty, brutality will never grind down the world. for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. >> tucker: doing his church hill routine. when things aren't going well at home, all presidents treat -- he couldn't stop himself. "for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power." joe biden said a vladimir putin. you probably don't like him and

for good reason. our policy according to the president of the united states is to take biden out, to remove him as head of state. the to this is hardly the first time we've tangled. united states you recall waged a proxy war against the russian government for 11 years in vietnam. nearly 60,000 americans died in that war. and yet no american president mention regime change at the kremlin. why? they were soft on the russians? no. russia has about 6,000 nuclear weapons. what say we eliminated the russian head of state and that countries social government. what would happen to those weapons? let's see. in iraq, saddam's pok style went into the hands of militias used to kill americans. russia has a large and restive population of islamic extremist and we think that it's possible

with no one around the country, we have no chosen successor to putin, if we did that one of the 6,000 nuclear weapons might wind up in the hands of some anti-american terror group and be used against our civilian population here? a nuclear weapon! it's not just possible, it's likely. and that's if we were to succeed in killing putin. what if we don't? apparently it's now the policy. the president of united states informed the russian government that he seeks its overthrow. you have to ask yourself, does hearing that make vladimir putin more or less likely to use a nuclear weapon against the united states and western europe. how to trap animals behave? they lash out. desperate people are dangerous people, of course. so would be in the interest of the united states and that's the only interest that matters from our perspective, to cool the rhetoric a little bit. or when you employ over seeded rhetoric is to do it for a

reason, in the service of a clearly articulated goal that helps the united states and not because you are old, which is what you just saw. a guy who just lost control of what he was saying because he was too mad. it's all pretty obvious but no one in washington has spent 30 seconds they can about what happened if we knocked off putin. our foreign policy establishment spent the weekend congratulating joe biden on saying the wrong thing where they compared him to ronald reagan. washington loves regime change. it's what comes after regime change they'd rather not consider and have no track record of pulling off. but for now, they were thrilled. bill kristol compared biden's threat to dragon, to telling gorbachev to tear down this wall. rick wilson agreed. "biden did tear down this wall for our era" for the cliche, dumb people speak and thinking cliches. former white house correspondent cbs news mark noller said biden was better than reagan.

to his credit for once, the white house did not run toward the applause note. apparently adults are still working there and mutely told us that biden hadn't meant what he told us in camera, didn't mean it. they say that it was alive. the president of potter's point, we can discern his point! he said that the president's point is that biden cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors in the region. he was not disgusting putin's power in russia or redeem change. it's not true, but it's reassuring to know that our policy remains the same. neocons in d.c. were highly distressed. cia operative rodney baron wrote this, this would've been biden's tear down the wall moment, but for staffers watering down the meaning afterward. a few hours ago, biden once again stepped in front of the microphone and reaffirmed that the words that actually slipped out of his mouth this weekend

are actually officially u.s. policy. here is joe biden. >> do you believe what you said, that putin cannot remain in power, or do you regret saying that, because your government has been trying to walk that back. does your words complicate matters? >> you asked three different questions and i'll answer them all. number one, i'm not walking anything back. >> so regime change in russia is now our policy. that's what the president of united states has just told us. and as he did, he reviewed the people who worked with him, they spend all week correcting statements that he makes up on the fly and hasn't thought through in any way. purely a reaction of, hey, would be the long-term effects of what you are doing? no idea. when everything is suddenly at stake them and never been recklessness at this level and

that includes the last president who was often attacked for being reckless. nothing said compares to this. fox's peter doocy ask for clarification. joe biden revealed that he's completely unaware that his staff has been updating american policy all week as he changes that "on-the-fly." watch joe biden. >> are you worried other leaders in the world are going to start a doubt that america is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back? >> putin's the one who made let's walk back. >> it's and the like you told u.s. troops are going to ukraine for you sound like it was possible that you would use a chemical weapon and it sounded like you are calling for regime change in russia and we know -- >> none of the three are correct. >> none -- >> none of the three are correct. >> mr. president -- >> and you interpret that language that way... >> tucker: what's getting...

bernie sanders scared the hell out of the banks. democrat party short-circuited his campaign and install joe biden. biden seemed passive, that was a welcome respite from the last president, and seeing kamala harris down the glass. nobody anticipated at the moment that we would be on the cusp of a war with a nuclear armed power in less than two years. exactly where we are now and those circumstances, someone who literally has no idea what's going on, when he does this, is it scary to describe that? no, it's worse. biden said that everything he has said for the last week is true and none of it has been corrected by people who work for him. the truth is joe biden has no idea. joe biden has no idea, his publicist say, when he goes to sleep. biden starts walking back his own comments, saying that after

he said he'd never walk back his own comment. none of that occurred. it's almost like we are being mean to the guy by quoting him and no one wants that. no one is making of his age or his diminished condition. moments later, biden declared that no reasonable person would think he wants regime change in russia. watch this, if you can stand it. >> it's ridiculous! nobody believes we are going to take down... i was talking about taking down putin. nobody believes that. >> joke is over. too much is at stake. if there ever was a time, if there was ever a time to invoke the 20th amendment, it is now. joe biden himself, this man cannot remain in power. for all of our sakes. tulsa gabbert is a former member of congress. following this topic very closely, taking a lot of heat for it for telling the truth regardless bear thanks so much for coming on tonight. it is not even a personal attack and i'd certainly don't mean to be disrespectful for anybody in his condition, but the

united states, the future of the country hangs in the balance and i don't understand how the democratic party can continue this support someone who's completely out of control. >> i think what we are seeing here, tucker, focusing on his comments about regime change. said out loud what the aims and objectives of his administration's policies are, which is regime change in russia, to get biden out of power. they are doing so through using the primary weapons of economic warfare. they are doing so by waging this modern day siege against russia, isolating, cane tainting, destroying the economy, starving the russian people and hope that the russian people or the military will rise up and revolt and overthrow their government, and get rid of putin. the reason they are lying about this to the american people, tucker, they know we are sick and tired of our country waging regime change, we remember how costly and devastating these wars in iraq, libya, syria have

been. we rejected them wholeheartedly. worthy to come out and tell the truth, their polls would tank even more than they already are and their politics would suffer. >> let me ask you... i believe you completely. clearly they want that. but what comes after? killing people is relatively easy. building things is really hard. this is a real country, a huge energy reserve, biden goes then what? have they thought that through? >> the answer to that is clearly no. this isn't just my opinion. we have history to look forward to today answer this question and every one of these regime change wars we've seen have the answer to the question "what happens next." who takes charge after you topple that dictator. what weapons will they have under their control? they never have an answer to that question what we are seeing play out before us is following

that exact same track record but more dangerously so because the american people are smart enough to know that a regime change war against a nuclear armed russia is very different from any other that's been waged before and will result in disastrous consequences that go beyond anything we could even imagine. >> tucker: these people couldn't keep track of their own dangerous biological agency we were funding in ukraine. no idea where they are, obviously. they'll keep track of 6,000 weapons question mike i don't think so. you are saying things that nobody in the public sphere is saying. you've said recently that facebook, mark zuckerberg, has been suppressing your message. here's a clip of you explaining it. >> when people try to type my name in instagram, my account does not show up. also getting a lot of reports from people who are trying to @ me and they are getting a

warning that this account has posted disinformation. >> tucker: that's the conclusion i'm coming to? >> pretty much. that's the conclusion. big tech is acting as this dictatorship telling us what we are allowed to say and not allowed to say. the thing that they are saying spreading disinformation, there is no evidence, no examples, no notice saying, hey, this is what you're saying that is false. absolutely none of that. comes down to if you are shining a light on the truth and you will be shut down and silenced. >> tucker: i'd like to have some freedom here. >> i agree. >> tucker: thank you so much. >> you too. >> tucker: if you tried to fly over spring break, you notice that air travel is a mess, much more chaotic than it's ever been. why is that? what is going on?

we have a report that explains it next.

necessity. the economy depends on it. under this administration, the network, the very delicate and functional network of air travel we've built up over nearly 100 years, is falling apart. they just announced they have a major pilot shortage, they are planning to drop service in 29 different cities but southwest also is slashing flights in april and may because of staffing problems. it's not just a staffing. the vax mandates didn't help at all. according to one aviation consulting firm, we are going to be sure 21,000 pilots by the end of this year. within six will be short by nearly 60,000 pilots bear we have a chance petition department that works pretty much full-time in eliminating racist roads and other equity agendas. are they doing anything about this problem? jason rantz joins us tonight. hey, jason. >> hey, tucker. you are right, the airline

industry is crumbling and pete buttigieg is lecturing us about racist highways which makes sense if you don't want to fly much which is exactly what he's getting. tens of thousands of lights are being canceled, thousands a week being delayed making travel extremely difficult especially in some of the smaller cities that you think pete buttigieg would pay attention to. good luck flying from north texas to louisville on southwest airlines. some flights were just cut. american airlines/70% of its schedule this much. alaska's 5%. u.s. cutting 21,000 flights due to a staffing shortage from the covid vaccine mandate, one that was made worse as a result. airlines were downplaying all the termination. liberal reporters never did much digging. but as of january, there were 31,000 fewer full-time airline workers then before covid. and while we were told pretty much everyone was compliant, turns out people were also

quitting or retiring early. got so bad that jetblue is basically begging the flight attendants to take on open shares. alaska airlines is paying double to take on extra work. it's the number of retiring pilots is the most alarming. no flights means -- cut flights from portland to denver, united cut from dole's to all locations. they are looking to cut routes that connects to smaller hubs. they are not profitable because a customer base is too small. the department of dance and subsidizes it. what we are seeing is service impacts and threats of losing flights, playable colorado, mason city colorado. all the doj has done is tell that you cannot do these routes until they find another carrier to pick up these lights. skywest only wants out of the

other shortages airlines are having. desperate for pilots, paying more, education requirements, hiring pilots from australia, this is expensive and it's happening at a time where we are seeing a price surge for gas. >> tucker: unbelievable. the vax mandates do this to airlines, let's see this applied to the navy seals on the eve of a war. whatever happens to our military question we jason rantz, thank you so much. >> things, tucker. >> tucker: the ratings on the oscars the client every year because watching people talk about themselves is not interesting so this year they had a brand-new idea. let's do something so degraded and violent and everyone will talk about us. we are going to talk about it too. also a brand-new show, that's next.

so many people are overweight now, and asking themselves, "why can't i lose weight?" for most, the reason is insulin resistance, and they don't even know they have it. conventional starvation diets don't address insulin resistance. that's why they don't work. now there's release from golo. it naturally helps reverse insulin resistance, stops sugar cravings, and releases stubborn fat all while controlling stress and emotional eating. at last, a diet pill that actually works. go to golo.com to get yours.

>> tucker: so it turns out watching airheads talk about themselves is not that interesting. not surprisingly, the ratings have plummeted in recent years. last year the oscars had their lowest ratings ever. how do you get people to watch the oscars more? we aren't in charge of programming, we don't know. last night, this happened. >> jada, i love you. "g.i. jane 2," can't wait to see it. that was a nice one! come on pay i'm out here... oh! [laughter] oh, wow! wow. will smith just smacked the [bleep] out of me. [laughter] >> keep my wife's name out your [bleep] mouth! >> wow, dude! it was a "g.i. jane" joke.

>> keep my wife's name out your [bleep] mouth! >> i'm going to, okay? >> tucker: those are our cultural leaders. a few minutes after slapping the host on stage, the guy who slapped him got an award that he was not expelled, of course. he explained in his acceptance speech he just wants to be a vessel for love. >> i know to do what we do you got to be able to take abuse, you got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. any issue you've got to be able to have come a people disrespecting you... i want to be a vessel for love. >> tucker: wait a second! >> he slapped the other guy and starts screaming but he's crying? why is always the people who punch you in the face to tell you to stop hitting them? kind of weird.

piers morgan is a host of the upcoming "piers morgan uncensored" on fox business. i'm going to let you talk, not when you get in the way. let me say, these are actors? i know a lot of actors who say, good qualities, bad qualities. but not a public utterance action every because they are actors. i don't believe any of this. i'm just saying. >> i think it was real and because i think it was real it was actually one of the most entertaining moments in oscars history. let's be honest. it's normally this unbearable sycophantic snooze fast of back slappers all telling each other how wonderful they are. i expected it last night to turn into a series of ever more i'm sure with virtue signaling speeches about ukraine but instead we got a real-life personal war on stage between two bona fide a superstars and it was absolutely riveting.

i was asleep in my hotel room and was like, what the hell is going on here? i don't know half of it. like all wars, it began with probably just a terrible misunderstanding. chris rock, from what i gathered, had no idea that jada pinkett smith, will smith's wife, suffers from this medical condition called alopecia, at made her shave all hair hair off last summer. had he known that, he wouldn't have done this lame joke. will smith thought chris rock did know he she had this condition.send an k and everybody else, said, look, i just lost it in the emotional moment thinking this guy was mocking my wife's illness but i can kind of sympathize with both guys. i don't agree with you, tucker. it wasn't fake. i think it was the real deal. and as such, a unique moment of oscars history. >> tucker: i'm all for authenticity. that kind of authenticity...

but will smith, i don't know about any about it, i read about it today but did a bunch of interviews about infidelity, talking about kind of stuff that no normal person will talk about in public. so he's willing to do that. but somebody makes a hair joke and he loses his mind? >> i interviewed at jayda pickett smith a few years ago and will smith turned up a few years bear before the interview started came up to me and said, never met them before. he said, mr. morgan, don't upset my wife. you wouldn't like me when i'm angry. i thought of that last night because he's right. nobody would like him when he let angry. there is clearly another side, clearly a very emotional and at the moment, whatever was going on in his life, it certainly came out of nowhere. i thought the absolute episodes were about hypocrisy, watching

one of the hosts regina hall who was actually lashing at the male stars on stage and started to physically grope them. i'd like to think of, couldn't you imagine, if a male star had pulled up four female actresses and began to pull them on stage. that guy would have been destroyed and canceled in about five seconds. there was already a night on parallel hypocrisy going down. but in an odd way, there was nothing to be critical about what we saw with will smith. it was a genuine act of take the blinkers off. this is what i really think about this guy. i'm going to smack him one. i don't know. i wonder if your own wife was suffering from a medical condition like this, it be through a pretty traumatic time, hand on heart say that she was being apparently mocked about it in front of a billion people, would we not have reacted emotionally and perhaps in a hot head way? i can't guarantee i wouldn't

have done, so i give a slight pass for that. but i do think when you look at it in totality, it was an extraordinary moment, probably the most extraordinary moment in the history of the academy awards. and where it leaves everybody in the hollywood with the constant moralizing, it's only you and i's to gas. >> they set the bar pretty high. there is going to be a murder on stage next year. >> we are all going to be watching it! >> i would watch that. "piers morgan uncensored" premieres april 25th. we are charter subscribers to this, piers morgan. thank you. >> all the best. >> tucker: good to see you. april 25th. so the u.s. dollar and the world's currency for the lifetime of everybody alive. that is the key to our wealth but how do you stop making things but stay rich? you control the world you are going to. that could be ending very soon,

thanks in part to the way the biden administration is handling the training. that's straight ahead.

>> tucker: zach treatment spent six years as machine learning expert and data specialists at thomson reuters and last summer he was fired over an email and announced as a racist by his own colleagues but he's not a racist. why did they call them that. pointed out that reuters is lying, manipulating data to support false claims by the black lives matter movement. they couldn't abide by the lying and they destroyed them for it. we talked to him for "tucker carlson today." here is part of it. >> i did notice that after george floyd's death, there was a sort of new racial orthodoxy spreading throughout the company. there was more and more references to white fragility and the self-indulgent sees of white women and more and more -- >> what is white fragility?

do they ever explain that? >> it's... >> if somebody attacks you and you don't like it, you're fragile? >> basically a way of disregarding any white person's opinions about racial matters, essentially. but... there's also just growing acceptance at every level of the coordinates of the black lives matter movement and really uncritical adoption of those tenants and they would bring, you know, black lives matter activist to educate employees about racial issues. it was just sort of a general acceptance of those being voiced. but, you know, i've been following the research especially as a data scientist but i wanted to connect my beliefs to the actual underlying data. i was aware of the research showing that the core claim of black lives matter, that police more readily shoot black people, was false.

and the research showing how the claim had been used to drive these reductions in policing that were having a devastating impact on the very communities that the black lives matter activists were hoping to protect. >> tucker: wait a second! he said, as he looked at the numbers. they are lying! don't say it out loud. truth is no defense. they fire you for that. our full conversation streaming now on fox nation. tuckercarlson.com so we've been telling you for months now that the united states is in danger of losing its status as the holder of the world's reserve currency and that is a huge problem for us and our children. bloomberg has now confirmed that. "the u.s. dollar's dominance is being stealthily eroded as they put it. not concerned by this though.

they said "actually that could be a good thing." we thought in light of this, when bloomberg tells you we are about to get a lot poorer, china is getting rich, we should find out a little more about what's happening. joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. so bloomberg, of all news organizations, doing extensive business with china, of course, told us that this is happening, you aren't paranoid. but don't worry, it'll be great. will it be great? >> absolutely not. the united states is in debt and the reason we can take out so much debt, we've taken $25 trillion in debt since the year 2020 financing regime change wars, tax cuts, things of that nature. we can do all this because we are the world's reserve currency. we can borrow from anybody at

basically 0% interest or the federal reserve can print and everything is okay. but if we are not the reserve currency, we are not able to do those things anymore. interest rates will start going up. think about this, the united states this year will spend $392 billion just on the servicing our national debt. that will go up because interest rates will go up faster. this is a huge time element problem and i appreciate you covering it. >> tucker: it just seems it's the pillar of our current influence and it's sad to say that because monetary shouldn't be the pillar of influence it and it is. >> i have no idea. especially when the united states' full power and dominance in the whole international system is based on united states being the number one superpower. you cannot be a superpower if your economy is a train wreck but let's face it, we are going to borrow something like a trillion dollars this year. the amount of interest on a payoff is astronomical.

if we are not the reserve currency anymore, the amount of money will pay on servicing the debt is going to skyrocket on top of inflation, on top of how much is going to grow more. this is something we have to worry about and what we have to do is we need to get our physical house in order. we want to make sure we are still the world's reserve currency beat can't be borrowing trillions of dollars every thing the year. one fact, we spent $6 trillion doing economic stimulus on covid. you can debate whether that is right or wrong, but that's more than we spent fighting world war ii. the amount of money we spend on things, we need to start thinking about how we spend it and why we spend it because someday we are going to wake up and not going to be able to do it anymore. >> tucker: that will be a massive readjustment. more than we spend on world war ii? the outlines of that are not even clear enough, it will be. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: over at cnn, not
