decided on the weekend. it's great. marie from new orleans. "jesse, you seemed like a busy person. how did you go through the weekend?" i didn't. i did this and then i talked about it after the weekend was over. [laughter] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." when we say good evening, we mean it. it's not just one of the specials that you say on talk radio. shout out to her most loyal -- we love you, we appreciate you. tacos it -- just that, also

enchiladas loop goes, everything else in the taco bell menu. the good news is america is getting a lot more amusing. the bad news is that it's also getting scary. the government announced that inflation is once again at a year-over-year record. artie knew this was happening, or did you? there were parts of today's report that were not expected. they seemed to defy the most basic rules of economics. here are the raw numbers. >> inflation cranked up a whopping 9.1% in june. the consumer price index released show the price of necessities -- and the price of gas is almost at 50% year-over-year. this ran 5.6% of the year, and food -- 10.4%.

if you break it down to just groceries, the angle jump was 12.2%, citing the eggs at dashcam 26%. >> so, the biggest annual spike in inflation and more than 40 years, that's the headline. but, the reality is worse than that. during the harder years were inflation famously hit 14.64% -- "during the high inflation years of the 1970s and 1980s, average inflation jumped seven seven -- 7-9%." but this is not what is happening right now. the labor department for today "average earnings decreased -- june 2021 to june 2022. the change in hourly earnings

combined with this -- for the average workweek resulted in a 4.4% decrease in average weekly earnings. 4.4% average decrease in earnings. this is what an economic disaster looks like. it's the moment where everything you buy is more expensive. here is the big picture. the average american household things -- that's here -- the inflation numbers mean that the average household's -- $8,000 a year just from inflation. that is 9.1% inflation numbers. rising inflation and falling wages. this is very weird.

the price of gas is much cheaper in mexico than in the united states. in california, driving across the border to fill their cars. apart from a few of these outlier websites, no one seems to be asking that question. so cheap, that the mexican government is encouraging more americans across the border -- "right now, the price per gallon is $7.08 per average." that was from the president of mexico. they are, it costs $3.20. you have to ask yourself about putin's price pipe. they paid more because of putin

too. why is inflation up when wages are down? it doesn't make any sense. last month, mexico's government did not follow the biden administration. instead, here is what mexico did. $2 billion -- and gas prices lower for consumers. in other words, the governor of mexico, in the middle of the drug war, the government of mexico is taking better care of it citizen then joe biden is here. in the very same month, gas prices shot beyond the reach of people. joe biden, in the name of democracy, $40 billion in taxes, not for you or any other american, but for ukraine. that is just part of our limited

commitment. >> for as long as it takes. does that mean indefinitely for the united states come ukraine? or, will there come a time where you have to say that the united states can't support this country any longer? thank you. >> president biden: we are going to support ukraine as long as it takes. >> the war has pushed prices up. how long is it fair to expect american drivers to pay that premium for this war? >> president biden: as long as it takes. russia cannot take and move beyond ukraine. >> as long as it takes, whatever the cost. for ukraine! the american economy heads toward total destruction.

who is winning? ukrainian oligarchs. since january, the biden administration since about $8 billion justin -- just in so-called security. defense contractors were making this, and that's what they did in this lobby. but, you have to ask, once we send these weapons to ukraine, where do they go? no one knows where they go. no one is keeping track. biden administration officials have admitted that to "the wall street journal." this is handed to the ukrainian government. officials said they had little to no knowledge of where that was going they -- the ukrainian government for such information.

they said there is some oversight into that country. so, you send billions to ukraine in the middle of the war, and then don't bother to find out what happens? the defense minister knows. he said -- will be smuggled out of ukraine. it's hard to avoid trafficking and smuggling. this is lunacy. if you want to make eastern europe dangerous and unstable for generations, this is exactly what you would do, treat ukraine like that. but, that's just the beginning. on top of all of the stage that would be samantha power. she is -- sending $4 billion

more to ukraine to pay that off. when that be nice if some of the power to decided to pay off our budget? no. would never do that. your tax dollars are paying the salaries of ukrainian -- and all, your congress has approved more than $50 billion for ukraine. that includes assistance for health care -- $9 billion for economic support, whatever that means. it's also $2 million for refugee assistance. so iraq, afghanistan, and other countries -- sending $100 bills into a war zone. again, this is nuts. and yet, members of both parties agree -- dozens of democrats in congress, they are pushing the administration as if they need a

push for the international monetary fund being awarded $650 million because of ukraine. on top of all of that, this congressman proposed an amendment for the national authorization act calling for it -- "ukrainian military --" this is a guy who thought this was real. all of this is necessary come mandatory. we must defend democracy. we is taking from senator -- just an interview with charlie kirk. explained this on the limited amount of money to ukraine. why? fighting back against communist intrusion because vladimir putin is evil. >> what amount of money as possible so much to send to ukraine? where is the line?

near $56 billion? >> i don't know that the line is a dollar amount. each request, each circumstance requires its own discovery, if you will. i think we should do smaller tranches, just for the purpose of renegotiating and reassessing the price of this. to the united states taxpayer and -- i think is very, very hard. >> they never update the talking points. >> that is an idea we strongly support. that's why we are in favor of -- opposing vaccine mandates as well here. that's what you have to ask, what the cause of liberty has to do with ukraine. ukrainian government should stand opposition media.

now, the president has decided to combine all television stations in ukraine into a state of propaganda ministry for "misinformation." that is not the profile of a free country, not even close. but we have to, because modern approach and is the worst person in the world." he is a communist, says the senator, "who plans to conquer the globe." is a communist? how communist is he? is he more or less communist fan sandy cortez, fanned joe biden's domestic policy? is he a more committed atheist van they are? throwing americans in jail for these rallies of the capital. -- from the bedroom? is he sterilizing children?

vladimir putin is not doing any of that. as for his apparently limitless international ambitions -- his plan report and trying to build military bases in the caribbean? another question is, that would be tried and took -- china to biden's and crimea -- but it is china on its way to controlling the world. here is something we saw that illustrates the point. as you can see, the world has completely dominated -- from china and the united states. today, our two economies are roughly equal in size. that is a problem, the biggest problem in the world. nothing comes close.

the chinese empire will not be like our empire at all. where is russia in this? it's not irrelevant, but it's close to irrelevant. how is there a compass mowing an enemy depth -- italy? they are in a better position to take over the world and vladimir putin. this entire conversation is insane. anyone who takes it seriously is a fool, and anyone who doesn't see the red flags is probably dishonest. the most dishonest, power-hungry people in the united states -- at war with russia. that would be joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer. these are the people telling the flames were put in is a war criminal -- world domination. why are they saying he's going to take over europe?

there is a reason saying and it has nothing to do with saving life is for making ukraine a better country. red flag? yet somehow, republicans don't see it. they don't seem curious about him. the worst people in aware, are for an war with russia. them and a few other republicans in congress, they are all in, whatever joe biden wants ukraine. here is lindsey graham. that would be connecticut's most famous if you know more here. here they are together. >> i can tell you something about america right now. there is a bipartisan effort to defeat putin. speak up when they get back, try to get the senate as a whole to get that resolution. >> russia being a state sponsor

of terrorism. the category of iran, north korea. >> will that improve your life? is it improving the lives of ukrainians right now? no. yet, every person who has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision going back 40 years is on the same page. here -- former national security advisor. as personally engineered cou ps in foreign countries. where they state-sponsored terror? no one is calling john bolton a war criminal. instead, here's what they are saying. speak he's doing the only thing i could bring down the price of putin. because he needs them -- so they can quickly beat russia.

she could he make ukrainian agriculture safer? sure, but -- which biden does not want to do these are american fighter planes firing at russian ones. i think there's a very good argument for that. the no-fly zone, while extremely risky, is the best way to get this here. >> i tuned in to find out whether -- and you are a foreign policy expert now? >> the american economy is -- and it's faster than anyone anticipated. >> instead, cnbc, and the geniuses are talking about world war iii. if you want to know how big this has become, how ominous this is,

you should see this. this is from the city of new york, our largest city. reminding you that it million -- 8 million residents of new york, consumed be nuked. >> come big one has hit, selected we do? step one, get inside fast. you and your friend, your family, get and stay inside. >> shut all windows. have a basement. if you were outside after the blast, get that immediately. remove all outer clothing -- to keep radioactive dust or ash away. >> what? if you were drinking beer and that came on tv -- "there is a heat wave." at this point she says

radioactive dust. you are suggesting someone might lob a nuclear weapon to our largest city? what are you talking about? how do you get so close to nuclear war that -- wash the radioactive dust off my face? this is total lunacy. why are we doing this? putin is bad and going to take over belgium nobody has -- because the republican party has collaborated with in a bye administration. we reached a point where some tv still need to prepare for the deaths of tens of. we can.

looking back across the board for joe biden >> whether it is accusing order rates -- lighthouse or calling what has corresponds stupid, president biden has a history of getting agitated. this was at the way it's congressional -- when the president was asked about a majority of democrats opposed to him running again. this number is 22 seconds >> mr. president, what is your miss you to run again? >> president biden: you guys are all the same. the polls -- -- >> majority of democrats say they don't want you to run. >> president biden: 92% said they would vote for me. at times poll come up with

number -- >> that's only referring to a potential rematch with donald trump, and that is correct, over 64% of! [laughter] >> thank you for that. this 10-year-old girl,

the headline is

make any sense. in general for ohio -- ohio to find treatment. >> so the obvious headline was

not about abortion. it was about the fact that someone raped speeseven a 10-year-old. nobody was interested in learning who this person was. apparently, they were an illegal alien. dispatch is reporting tonight that this 27-year-old was charged with -- the 10-year-old. thank you so much for joining us. what do you take from this story. >> it is a tragic story and gets more mysterious every day. apparently, this was reported near june. in here we are july and only now learning about -- this perpetrator was apparently not

charged or arraignment. coerced a 9-year-old to be pregnant. the question is, why now? someone naive might say it's because -- and people, for whatever nebulous reasons, didn't want to reveal his identity -- that substantiated story in the first place. at the time, and seems like the person had a proclivity to have sex with minors, and is still out there. >> instead of reporting the act, he should have been arraigned immediately. next week, but the person who became the spokesman for the story said -- the work was done weeks and three days. why was it so close to that day?

it's as if you know about this act. you have method inside ohio if you believe that number. it would have been legal in six weeks. going over to deanna -- six weeks and three days. it doesn't hold all these details. tragic, because we have a 9-year-old. being used for political purposes. now, we have a perpetrator, and we've learned that they are here illegally. >> for most three weeks, he has not been charged, so we will have to wait for more details. >> it sounds like in this case, as pretty much every case we

reported on, the first version was a lot a commands -- believed nothing at first. >> reminds me of the border patrol whipping people story. >> there was desperate evidence to incriminate them. this fellow was finally charged when they needed substantiation. they seemed reluctant to charge him immediately. believable -- would be useful on its own merit. want to details. only then did they start releasing the details. i think it's terrible, because it shows you that people are

using a 10-year-old, and in some cases, protecting an illegal alien -- until they needed evidence substantiated in this useful story. it's terrible. >> thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> in recent years, the u.s. military -- a trove of information about vaccine effectiveness. as you will know, they have been reflecting this information on you. they are voting on this tomorrow. we have details after the break.

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.

>> when ideologues get power, they waste no time. they change as much as they clan as quickly as they can. here is a story that you

probably haven't heard. congressman -- proposing an amendment where they would hide any of this information -- facing congressional investigation. that would involve vaccine mandates and january 6th. why would you -- information about january 6th? it's not really their job but that's example -- a mysterious name -- forcing people to explore the capital on january 5th and 6th, never being indicted. just in case you have suspicions already, just know that there was a glowing profile of him today in "the new york times." the title of the piece was how he became the victim of a january 6th conspiracy theory repeatedly tells people to storm the capital. a lot of the people who did that are still in jail.

no one has covered the join just now. so much for coming on. so first of this amendment of the defense national authorization act. what is this exactly? >> well, since his name is attached to it, you know that it's nothing good. it's not like he is a transparency champion for good government. to your point, what this means is he's trying to get this into a massive bill that will enable the department of defense to conceal information -- the defense department has been involved in, especially to my dogmatic -- especially related to law enforcement, which we know is unlawful.

i've talked to military aspects, they aren't sure what this means, but they know that with them attached to it, can be up to no good. covering up things that the american public deserves to know. >> the u.s. military is not allowed to be involved in domestic policy, period, ever, under no circumstance, so this is involved in domestic policy. >> we also know, from this reporting by "newsweek," and a bombshell article earlier this year that said that military assets were involved in january 6th, leading prosecutors to the event of january 6th. what was the military doing? has he just said, they cannot access local law enforcement.

so, what are these military assets doing? we knew that the military was being fully hostile to donald trump and all its military leaders. this looks like a way to obscure material, and documents from any congressional inquiry as it relates to criminals on these proceedings, which could relate to january 6th. it is embedded in this. hopefully, republicans can do more digging as to what this is all about. >> they should do something. meanwhile, the one insurrectionist that "the new york times" likes. left back great to see you. >> thank you. >> so come of the massacre this elementary school -- but the actual evidence shows

malfeasance at a level that it staggers imagination. children being killed. ryan petty lost his daughter get -- investigated. that is next.

this phone call, play video games. his friend went on snapchat. we learned that this generation of young people born in the late '90s-early 2000s, they have a lot of experience with anxiety, so they are very accustomed to taking prescription pills and sharing them amongst themselves. nobody in the house had any, charlie and his friend went on snapchat. charlie had a notoriously bad back, had surgeries years before, and noticed that this dealer -- also getting percocet. apparently, they made that transaction, and about 3:00 in the afternoon, some of charlie's

friends loved by afternoon, and he was playing video games, and they walked on by. what we know is that he never made that 5:00 phone call, so sometime between 3:00 in the afternoon and 5:00 in the evening. he took the one pill which he was told was a percocet, and the doctors say it killed him in about 15. his friends found him in his bed, chin on his chest, dead from a functional overdose. >> heartbroken father. that interview will make you cry. thousands of families around the country. this tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. on fox nation. new video from within this elementary school today -- in texas. standing inside a hallway for

truth, and now we are seeing it. we are seeing the inaction, the deadly consequences of this training, perhaps a lack of funding, but certainly on the part of law enforcement officers. those kids, and the gunshots are going off, every shot is another child being killed, and they are standing outside more worried about their cell phones in hand sanitizer than they are protecting those citizens lives in the classroom. >> may be one reason -- this was immediately used by power-hungry politicians. >> well, that happens after each one of these tragedies. happened after parkland, and unfortunately we are seeing it today. >> the call for gun control. seen politicians use these opportunities to infringe on our
