i wish i could tell you i ate didn'ter but i don't eat dinner. we're going through scripts were producers. that's it for tonight. dvr the show. tucker is next. i'm waters and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson." we're coming to you live from brazil. brazil is the last significant country in the western hemisphere that has a pro american government. in a lot of ways, brazil is not that different from the united states. it's bigger land mass that the continental u.s. and rich resources. like the united states, brazil

has found itself dangerously dependent on china. so what exactly is the chinese government's aims in brazil and why isn't the biden administration doing anything to stop the chinese military from establishing a threatening now beach head in our hemisphere? what is that exactly? we're investigating all of it for a new documentary that we'll have soon. one of the reasons that so few people in the united states notice that china is colonizing countries close to our shores, we have problems of our own here in the united states. the american economy primarily, which is in real trouble right now and not something that we can fix with a cleverly crafted bail-out as we've done before. the problem here isn't that a few reckless people on wall street did crazy things. the problem is deeper than that. it's systemic. you see it in what you buy. everything. the prices of everything are shooting beyond reach for people in the united states. that would include energy, food,

goods, housing, credits. all of that is more expensive than just recently. why? why has median rent in manhattan jumped by 25% in a single year? why is your grocery bill gone up by hundreds of dollars a month? why can't you afford to fill your car anymore? those are fair questions. it's not like we ran out of commodities. the united states has a lot of them. we have a country that stretches from the atlantic to the pacific. plenty of room for housing, plenty of oil and gas to be energy dependent with some left over. we have more fertile farmland than anyplace on the planet. it's not our resources. our resources are abundant. the problem are our leaders. the things you need are too expensive to buy because politicians created inflation. they did it for a reason.

they racked up so much debt that they had no choice to weaken the u.s. dollar to make the payments on the loans that they took out. once inflation arrived, ideologs in the biden administration understood how it could be used. so since you could no longer afford to drive your car, you'll have no choice but to accept their green energy scams. that means the donors that run the scams will get richer and they'll get control over the u.s. economy. everyone wins except you. perfect. none of it happened by accident. this is a manufactured disaster. in a normal country few leaders would dare to pull off something in brazen and destructive. it would be too risky. the people that run our country are fully aware of the risks and they're worried about it. in you're hyperventilating a about january 6, that's why. they seem afraid because they are afraid. to them a crowd of angry people looks like a forte of things to

come. that's why they're desperate to takes your guns away and why you're screaming you about racism and the rights and evil of the president of russia. why are they talking about these things? it's confusing at first. what does any of that have to do with our actual problems here and improving your life? well, none of it has anything to do with improving your life. that's the point. they're hoping that if they keep screening at you, you'll be too off balance to notice what is happening to the country around you. much less able to fight back against it. just to make sure you're too bewildered to act, they shift the blame from themselves to you. so they're now pronouncing you guilty for the crimes that they committed. you watched this happen with the economy. first they told you that inflation wasn't real. you're imagining that. but you weren't. so then they explain that actually inflation is happening but it's a good thing because

you deserve it. you deserve to pay more for the things you by. why? your expectations were way too high. you pampered first world karen. you expected to eat meat for dinner and take vacation on airliners that departed on time. you're expected to fill your tank or buy a sheet of plywood for less than $75. you expected to send your children to the public schools you pay for with an expectation that they would learn something. you thought you could load your car with groceries that you could pay for instead of being shot by robbers. you think your country would be like a place you grew up in. turns out, you expected too much. that's your fault. in nigeria, this is normal. stop whining and eat your bugs. bloomberg news wrote a column on this. their recommendation is if you

want to save money,let your dog die. seriously. they said that. they meant it, too. apparently you didn't get the message. you love your dog. so now they have gone further than that. now they're telling you that you cannot have the one thing that most people want more than anything else. the one thing that biological instinct drives. that's children. the most reliable source of meaning and joy in human existence, a family, is now out of reach for the american middle class and you should accept that as inevitable. you should embrace it. our economy can no longer support your family. sorry. that's wrong. they're not saying sorry. they wouldn't apologize for that. they want you to reset your unrealistic expectations. that's what msnbc did this weekend. >> what did the cost to have a body on your baby, your state, in this country? >> many economists are telling us that the economic

consequences of abortion restrictions are devastating for individuals and whiter society. according to the institute for women's policy research at the national level, state level aborgs restrictions cost $105 billion per year because basically it reduces the labor force participation rate and drives down earning power. >> so turns out many economists and social scientists conclude that having kids is selfish and way too expensive. that's your fault. so dial back your expectations of having a family. thanks for telling us, msnbc. notice that no one on msnbc blames the powerful. they didn't talk about vaxes and turning people in a war zone.

it's not their fault. wall street and the fed are blameless. the problem is you, the problem is that you selfishly want to have children and children are bad for gdp. all the big corporations now agree on that. they're all now against human reproduction. watch jo ling kent explain more. >> but the other important financial question is if the birthing program is able to travel and if they work for the right company and are seeking an abortion, more individuals will need to rely on their employer for that financial support to carry that out. for example, dick's sporting goods is now telling us they're promising $4,000 for any employees or family member on their insurance plan to access an aborgs. there's a long list of companies doing the same thing. you have levi's and starbucks and j.p. morgan. these benefits are provided because these companies are willing to do it not just

because of their philosophy but because it makes financial strength to them. >> dick's sporting goods will pay you $4,000 to abored your baby. how great is that? how great is dick's sporting goods? you're going to have a baby and now they're giving you $4,000 not to. that makes financial sense for corporate america. well, yes, it does. thanks msnbc. the companies have done the math and they'd rather pay employees for $4,000 for every abortion they have. that is cheaper than parental leave or healthcare. babies are expensive. it's a lot cheaper to get rid of them has concluded the h.r. department at dick's sporting goods. this is a highly progressive movement. when you have to bribe employees not to have their own family, what you're really doing is

liberating them. if you doubt that, here's corporate america spokesman andrew from csnbc with more. >> the real challenge is for the smaller companies that can't afford to do it and the employees unable to get access that way. so there's going to be a tale of two worlds. if you work for a fortune 500 company, you may get this type of healthcare as a benefit. smaller companies may not. i asked the question to executives and ceos, would you leave the state, those states where the trigger laws is in effect. the answer is no. the view is that this is dare i say a cost of doing business. and was -- i have to admit, disappointed there was -- nobody that i spoke to over the weekend that said, you know what? we have a moral issue about this. >> yeah, very disappointing that

all companies aren't paying their employees to abort their children. it's a sign of love. when you love someone, your main concern is that they never reproduce. that they never create more human beings just like them. that's a sign of love. this is not ghoulish or creepy. corporations in states that outlaw abortions are unethical. the ceos of those companies are immoral because they're not paying for abortions. andrew ross sorkin doesn't blame them. janet yellen lied about the inflation that she created. she destroyed our economy more than any other single american. but that's not a problem for andrew russ sorkin. it's not like she wasn't playing for her employees abortions. we're quoting. if you're janet yellen, they wanted to run the economy hot. by running it hot, she meant

destroy it and make the u.s. dollars worth less. it's not a big deal. it's not immoral. making you poor was a mistake. don't worry, janet yellen has never considered apologizing for it. no. what she's telling you is now that you're poor, shut up and abort your child. times are tough. you have to get back to work. there's a war on. do your duty. >> i believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions when to have children could have damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades. >> tucker: yeah, damaging to the economy to have children, new life. this is the american that janet yellen has created with the help of her friends in the media. you can't afford to get married or buy a house or have children

much less raise yourselves as generations did for hundreds of years in this country. for that, that is not possible. only private equity people, people like janet yellen and on drew ros sorkin can afford normal families now. for you, life is low paid drone worked at a digital company punctuated by netflix forever until you die alone with no decendents to remember you. if it makes you anxious, no problem. we have xanax. we have legalized weed so you can consider yourself liberated. what we described is not a overstate. that is the life of millions of college educated young people are living right now and facing for the foreseeable future, forever. our leaders don't seem concerned in the least about it. they don't protect a spiritual crisis in america. suicides spike. they don't know why.

they don't want to know. they don't notice a drop in birth rates in america, which you think they would care about since they run the country and that's the clearest signed of societal health. they're for it. it doesn't bother them. don't have kids. if you do, make certain that they can't reproduce themselves. just cast strait them. that's what they're telling you. watch the admiral. >> gender affirming care is life-saving. medically necessary. age appropriate. a critical tool for healthcare providers. as a pediatrician when it comes to making sure that kids are healthy and happy, i know how important care for someone's true identity can be. >> tucker: so you made the mistake of having your own family. there's something that you can do. make sure you never have grandchildren. pump your children full of

pharma derived poison to make sure that they can't reproduce. you should. that's life-affirming care. the more unhappy american society becomes, the easier it is for them to control. fewer marriages and babies and family-owned homes means more dissatisfied people. it means an entire nation of desperately unhappy grad students. sanity cortez could be the queen of a country like that. bring it on. more solitude, less human connection, fewer babies. that's what they want. obviously. here's what they don't want. they don't want christi pauls. she announced she's quitting her job because family is more important than serving corporate america. here she is. >> i just could not be who i needed to be for my family. that's what it came down to. i was tired of being tired. i told them, look, let's be honest. the work we do is important. the work you do is important wherever you go.

whatever you do every day. it's important work. at the end of the day, somebody will sit in this seat and i'm going to leave and the show will go on as it should. but nobody else is going to be my kid's mom and nobody else is going to be my husband's wife or parent's children. i need to be present there. >> tucker: nobody else will be your kid's mom? have you noticed her immigration levels? we're bringing people in to be your kid's mom. shouldn't she be working for facebook? do your duty. that's what we're telling young people. we're not going to do a thing to make it easier for your children or families because families are for the rich and the poor. families are for the tech tycoons in napa. for you, middle class american, sorry. your deepest desires are far beyond reach. city bank will may you not to preproduce so you can remain

alone in your cube. sandy cortez will build something. government-funded abortion camps on federal land so you can't hold your own baby or being unconditionally loved by your own children. you're liberated now. let's celebrate with brunch. you have to wonder how to distribute free cats to young people in the cities, placebos to replace families that they can no longer have. along with ssris and the water supplies. we're finally getting to see what their utopia feels like. hope you feel better. in addition to preventing life before it begins, there's a very aggressive effort understood way to stop life before it goes on too long and becomes too expensive. you may have noticed the media pushing the practice of suicide. a number of newspapers

unfortunately including post have devoted articles to a former studio 54 owner that is flying to switzerland to kill himself this week. that is considered the new frontier in liberation, suicide. again, much cheaper. the independent interviewed people praise ago 20-year-old canadian man for his bravery after he sought out medically assisted dying. suicide because he has intestinal complaints. should we resist this or should we pretend this is human liberation? we have the author of the book "loosing your dignity." charles, thanks for coming on. we speak a few weeks ago. you predicted you have a floor that suicide is the next liberation front that the media is pushing because big companies want it and now it's here. >> tucker i was going to start by offering statistics. after your monologue here, i'm so emotionally wiped out and

angry and sad all at once, i don't know. let's pause here and say how did we get here. part of how we got here is because those that have power have these views. those with privilege have these views. those that don't have hower or privilege don't have these views. they reject them. when it comes to abortion, when it comes to assisted suicide, the working class, the poor reject these views. how dare the working but the privileged classed. how the privileged classes want to listen to the machines voices. they push this suicide and abortion on the masses. >> tucker: i'm standing in the middle of brazil, a poor country. poor people have huge families. nobody is forcing them too.

people that don't have much know the one thing that matters most, which is children. how can our leaders pretend to speak to them when our leaders want the opposite? >> my previous book was resisting in a throw-away culture. the privileged classes, the classes you just talked about benefit from. who gets thrown away? who gets discarded? who does not get hurt? that's the folks that you on your show care about. >> tucker: we do. thanks for coming on. thanks, charles. >> thank you. >> tucker: so if you go to any college campus to learn, the one thing that they hate is this colonialism. you're seeing it at a scale that dwarfed anything in the 19th century.

it's happening in america and here in brazil. what does that mean for yous why is no one noticing this? we'll be back from rio de janeiro.

>> tucker: we're back from rio de janeiro brazil. you hear that drugs are a

problem in south america but they are a big problem in the united states in a different way. over 100,000 americans died of drug overdoses in the last year. the ruling class ignores this. the people that are supposed to be helping are letting it happen. drug traffickers are going free. bill melugin has more from the state of california. hi, bill. >> that's right. in a stunning turn of events, two men arrested with enough fentanyl to kill millions were both released from custody just hours after their arrest. the tulare county sheriff's office recovered 150,000 fentanyl pills off of two men in a traffic stop friday night. it's a life-saving bust. two men were charged in the bust. they were both released from tulare jail on their own

recognizance as a result of a court order from a judge following a risk assessment. the tulare sheriff is irate about the release of these alleged fentanyl traffickers. he says the so-called risk assessment was done behind the scenes. he was not notified. california's justin system is a failure. >> i could not believe we had 150,000 fentanyl pills, one of the most dangerous epidemics that is facing our nation today with people in custody that we may potentially be able to impact the future of this type of drug trafficking organization or can tells in california and in my county and we let them go. >> and tucker, most of that fentanyl is pouring in through the open southern border where there was a mass casualty human smuggling event. san antonio yesterday afternoon. 50 illegals were found dead in

the back of a tractor trailer. one of the deadliest immigration related incidents in recent history. the white house was asked about those deaths today. press secretary karine jean-pierre said the border was closed. now back to you. >> tucker: grotesque. that's, bill. one of the many reasons we came to brazil is to take a closer look at china's effort to control brazil and its economy. 70% of china's global infrastructure investments in brazil have centered on its energy sector. once you control a country's energy, you control that country. increasingly china has been doing the same thing in our country in the united states. the biden administration has been encouraging it. they have been funneling energy to green sources. they call it the green new deal

but what the biden administration is pushing dependence on china. chinese control of the united states. we have a journalist that has looked carefully into this story and joins us to explain. thanks for coming on. starting with the premise that if you control a country's energy supply, you control that country. where is the united states moves? >> well, our problem here is that everything within our energy -- the biden administration's approach to how we fuel our country. it makes us reliant on china for all of this sources of energy. so say for instance solar panels. they are not manufactured at least into a degree that is necessary in the united states. they're mainly manufactured in southeast asia and in china. unfortunately, the biden administration recently put a

tariff on them, so all of these solar panels that are across the country just have the rod sticking up, there's no panels because we couldn't get them from china. he lifted that, however, it's going to take a year or two for those panels to get here. the problem with the panels are not only are they made in china, but even if we made them here in the united states, we need the raw minerals from china to make the panels. we're totally relying on china to make our energy sustainable under this climate change mandate. >> tucker: yeah. so chinese takeover of the united states. i don't know why we don't call it that. going forward, we will. thanks for reporting on that, salina. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: so there's no greater proof of the rule that if place

depends on the quality of its leadership than chicago. one of the great cities of the country. now it's falling apart because its mayor is deranged. that's not an overstate. racist and stupid and worse. she just went on a bizarre rant screaming the f word at clarence thomas. why? we have some ideas straight ahead.

it's dinner time with family and your heart is filled with bliss. but as you eat the roasted goose, your little sport incists. hey dad, did you know america is racist? your shocked with grief when suddenly george washington bursts through. he snatched the screen and changed the thing to an app called prageru. there's content for your child's mind to fight the leftist lies. and if you give your child a chance to watch and grow. they might burst forth like washington, a true american hero. make a tax-deductible donation at prageru.com.

>> i'm kevin corke in washington. ghislaine maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping jeffery epstein abuse girls. epstein allegedly killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial couldn't have committed the crimes without the help of maxwell, his long-time companion. voters heading to the polls in several states. polls just closed a short while in illinois, oklahoma and south carolina. according to the a.p., james

langford has won the republican nomination for the u.s. senate in the sooner state of oklahoma. in new york, all eyes on a four-way primary with lee zeldin and andrew guliani. and mike lee in utah endorsed by former president trump facing off against two primary challengers. >> tucker: so when people can defend themselves, criminals are much less likely to take the chance of victimizing them. that's true. it was proved here in brazil after the current president loosened brazil's draconian gun laws three years ago, the company saw a 20% drop in homicides. in united states, in chicago, the local government has enacted the opposite strategy. strict gun regulations and homicides are increasing.

dozens of people were shot this weekend in chicago including gianno caldwell's brother. >> i received a call when christian was outside of a venue. a black s.u.v. pulled up and three to four men got out firing. two people were hit, a young lady and another man that was then rushed to the hospital in critical condition. had to have surgery. my baby brother, christian, never had that opportunity to even be in critical care. i'm floored by the culture by the death that exists in the city of chicago. >> tucker: it's a culture of department. it didn't happen live on cnn. it's a disaster. things are falling apart and people don't deserve it. but instead, the major of chicago, lori lightfoot puts on one irrelevant performance after

another. here's her most recent. >> clarence thomas, [bleep] you. thank you. he said we are going to stand idly by why they take our rights, our rights to marry, our right to have children. >> tucker: ask clarence thomas she screams to a crowd ignoring the people that are dying. and in a follow up tweet, she said i said what i meant. what about chicago? raymond lopez lives in chicago. he's an alderman there he's running to replay lori lightfoot. we hope he does. he joins us in the meantime. thanks so much for coming on. she can have any views she wants about the supreme court. who cares. what about the city she's

supported to be running? why is she wasting her time on this? >> she's the embodiment of toxic politics. she practices it every day. not a word about gianno's brother, not a word about the 300 plus people that have been killed in a homicide or the thousands of people shot in the city of chicago. she prefers to gas light and deflect. we talked about it numerous times. that's why i'm running. we need a mayor that represents our city and will not diminish the office one inch further than what lori lightfoot has done up to this point. >> tucker: it's such a boutique elite view of the world. i can't afford food and my son was killed. what about climate change? i can't believe the people put up with it. >> the people are tired of it. they want someone that will tackle the problems in our back yard and gas lighting them on

issues that have no relevance in the city of chicago. nobody is in threat of losing the right to marry or have abortion access. what they are under threat from is gangs, criminals and people with guns going after the law-abiding citizens of chicago and creating more victims every day which she refuses to acknowledge. i have a plan to fix that i'm going to fix and rebuild our police department so we can be a safety again, so you can come here and be welcome and not live in fear. that what we're going to do as soon as we boot her out of office. >> tucker: i don't know what your plan is, but i know you care. that's the first and most important step. thanks for coming on. raymond lopez. thank you. here in brazil, the government has cut federal funding to universities. oh, that's a good idea, too. the government says the universities are too idealogical. they're too political. the same thing has happened all

over the world. it's happened in our could be try where universities no longer educate, they seek new ways to destroy the country that made them possible in the first place. they should be shut down. we sat down with a former oxford philosopher professor who has seen first happened the poison that emanates from the universities. here's his story. >> you trade every conviction, it doesn't save you in the end. the monster eats you anyways but eats you as a coward instead of leaning into it and dying at your feet. that is the position that i was being put in. >> tucker: what a wonderful description. >> thanks. i'm not going to say two plus two equals five. i'm not going say men can get pregnant. but i was silent when other people say it. that's enough.

that degree of complicity, that is what adds up after a while. you silently tolerate the other lies and falses and inconsistencies and contradictions that are being said out loud in your workplace, in the pronoun e-mails, the mandatory diversity equity and inclusion. it's the tacit complicity that goes with things. >> tucker: that episode of "tucker carlson today" aired tomorrow on fox nation. dozens of u.s. sailors have enclosed an encounter with 100 identify objects surrounding their ship off of the san diego coast. we'll tell you more when we come back from rio de janeiro.

>> tucker: so in brazil, the government has long been willing

to admit what it doesn't know in the way that our government won't. people talk about ufos more here than in the united states. the brazilian government just had their first public meetings. the u.s. government has said that they encounter add lot of ufos in which five brazilian fighter jets were chased by unidentified flying objects at high speed. things like the that happen in the united states, too, but we're just hearing about them. dozens of sailors have told a film maker that they were sworn by 100 ufos off of the coast of san diego. what is this? nick pope is a former u.k. ministry of defense official. we're happy to have him join us tonight. so nick, tell us what these sailors described and what you think it adds up to, if you would.

>> well, they described a series of objects literally swarming around multiple u.s. navy ships. they said the speeds and maneuvers seemed way ahead of anything they had seen. the dod and the navy are trying to say that this is drones. maybe it is. with china threatening taiwan, if this is foreign drones, and they can do that to u.s. navy, we're in dig trouble. the american people need answers and they deserve answers. >> tucker: so if these are in fact from a foreign military and as far as i know the pentagon has given no ed of that, if it is, it's probably not worth talking about having a war with china because they have already won. >> well, the first step is to try to bring one of these things down. i know it sounds provocative. if they're literally in our

airspace and over our assets, we do have things that can bring these sorts of objects down. we have lasers. we have the ability to send an electromagnetic pulse. let's bring one down and get those answers. everybody is asking the questions. nasa is asking. the dod is asking. the military is asking. the american people are asking, too. i think we've been having this discussion for too long to just put off getting to the bottom of this and giving people the truth. whatever that may be. >> tucker: do you have any idea why the navy or the pentagon didn't bring them down? >> i hope that they did. one answer is maybe they tried and failed. again, we need more answers on this and congress needs to hold the dod and the military to account. >> tucker: fair point. nick pope from the u.k. thank you.

the supreme court overruled roe v. wade on friday. that led to riots all over the country, which you haven't read about because they weren't committed by trump voters. but they happened. in phoenix, a mob stride to storm the capitol while the legislature was in session. you have to wonder why so many people are angry when ending roe v. wade doesn't end legal abortion. it let voters decide what they want, which is a democracy. why is everybody so mad? eddie has spent a year thinking about why the left is so unhappy. he's the author of a new book called "liberal misery." he's our next guest. so they seem unhappy. that's the bottom line when i watch their behavior. are they? >> yes, i think what we're looking at is the way liberals and democrats will behave from now on when they don't get their way, they will rage and threaten and may commit political violence as we have seen. we've seen it through 2020. honestly as i write in my book

"liberal misery", this is how liberals behave in every day life, this is backed up by studies. liberals are unhappy people. now they want to spread their misery. they want you to feel how unhappy they are when things are not going their way. they're more likely to block people on social media when they don't like something you said. they will erupt a social gathering of a perfect stranger. they do it to family, friends. they're angry, vindictive and petty, this is backed up by data. they tend to naturally be unhappy people. >> tucker: higher rates of mental illness, much less likely to tip 20%. more likely to send their food back and bark at the waiter. any guess where this comes from? seems like they're mad at dad. is there another reason? >> that's above my pay grade. there's a lot of data that backs this up. the problem is it would be one

thing if they lived this way on their own and just kept to themselves and they used to contain that rage and anger. but nowadays, it affects every one. every one of your viewers has experienced the extreme discomfort that one of these people, one of these miserable liberals can inflict on everyone at a party where people get uncomfortable because there's a political disagreement. that's in my book. >> tucker: it raises questions about pharma. if xanax works, why are they screaming? another show. thanks, eddie scarry, good to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: more from brazil. we'll be back from rio.

i'm steve. i lost 138 pounds in 9 months on golo and taking release. golo saved my life. i was way overweight, and that's what sent me down the path, was i--i wanted to make sure and live for my kid. plain and simple.

>> tucker: so we started to show talk about babies and we are going to end the show talking about babies. we are pro-baby and particularly the brand-new daughter recently arrived of our producer and friend casey and her husband and

we want to say to madeleine, welcome to the world, welcome to america, we can't wait to meet you. congratulations. that's it for us tonight. we will be in brazil for the rest of the week, seeing the president tomorrow in brasilia, we will bring a report. see you then, have the best night with the ones you love. ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity" and we begin tonight with a fox news alert. wow, what a day in the washington sewer and swamp once again while you, the american people, you know, the people who actually make this a great country, are facing, you know, a deluge of serious problems, like record inflation, record high gas prices, record numbers of illegal immigrants, record homicides in so many of our towns and cities while the swamp creatures on capitol hill, they were busy with yet another anti-trump kangaroo court and show trial where the outcome
