>> i couldn't believe that you are more famous here -- more famous in the u.k. than you are here. that's production value. thank you for watching "jesse watters prime time." thank you philip me fill in. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." on april 24th of last year, the state of california finally achieved the green movement has dreamt about for decades. the energy authority of california was able to generate 95% of total power from entirely

renewable source. they said it couldn't be done, for months into the joe biden's administration, joe biden said "it's an chills down my spine." it's amazing that we are making a real dent -- remember this date. it will live alongside thomas edison -- invention of the incandescent light bulb. saw a glimpse of humanity's future. there were some caveats to this achievement. for starters, april is not the time to test the power grid. electricity use is at its lo lowest. looking to supply power to los angeles, the biggest city in california, and now that we are being honest, it wasn't entirely

renewable. as the "l.a. times" conceded in its press release about renewables, the state of california was "burning a bunch of natural gas." according to scientists, it qualifies as a fossil fuel, which is not technically renewable. then there was this: the template fact that there was the green energy miracle that sent chills down the spine of californians, described as "amazing." lasted for a total of four seconds. not days or hours, seconds, four seconds. that is what california politicians were talking about. four seconds of not actually renewable energy, but the celebration -- just a few months earlier, in mid-august, california's energy grid had collapsed completely.

half a million -- lost power in heat wave. it was expected to get a lot worse. late afternoon -- people returned to their homes, and were hoping to use electricity. the state would be short thousands -- and that would mean that millions of californians which have -- would have to live without power whatsoever. so they had this strategy that the developing world has known well: rolling blackouts. almost -- "it's almost 3:00 p.m., time to trump major appliances," tweeted in 2020. "turn off excess lights or unplug any appliances you are not using. we need every californian to help conserve energy." the message was clear: "we give up! we are not providing the best

standard of living to our most heavily text americans --" the most part, californians did play all along, but the problems did not improve, in fact, they got worse. the california energy commission -- widespread power outages in the state of california are -- for the next five years at least. september will always be the worst months. devices -- "securing energy reliability is a tremendous responsibility, which is becoming increasingly difficult to fulfill, but the tools we have in hand --" stop whining, keep the power on, but "we don't have enough tools!" those would include this famous nuclear plant. that was shuttered a decade ago after 40 years of protest, supposedly on behalf of something called the environment. it did not matter: the state shut it down did scientists

estimate that this led to the release of 7 million metric tons -- in the atmosphere. if you believe that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, and they all do, that is a bad thing, but admit -- it did not stop california from polluting in the name of saving the environment. to plant supplies energies to millions of other californians. as a result that -- many closures are powerpoints -- the state of california gets one-third of its energy elsewhere. that was a display from -- supposedly our richest state. say what you will about californian politicians, like them or not: it's indisputable that on the question of energy, they have no idea what they are doing, and we know this because

their track record of incompetence is lengthy. they are majestic in their ineptitude, so naturally, they want more power over power. this week, the state surgically enhanced gavin newsom, announcing the new way -- the energy grid. he wants to ban gas powered engines and force everyone to drive electric vehicles, which no longer work when they are plugged into an outlet. >> we had the first jurisdiction in the world require all new cars to be sold to be alternative fueled cars. we are going through one of the great transformations in our history: energy transformations. it will -- the economy. >> here is a guy who has never

had a job, could not fix a broken lawn mower, let alone about energy, architecture, and -- the same guy who presented over state where you can no longer power your washing machine is telling you that he's going to control -- i just think about this for one second: if that guy can tell you what kind of car you can drive, why can't he tell you what kind of food you can eight, who you can sleep with? so, it's all totalitarian, total control over you. banning the gas engine is, among many other things, an attack on -- electric vehicles can be, above all, controlled by the people who control the grids that means the next time that california's energy regulators decide to shut off power, you can't leave california. a few things you might notice

about this. first, they are doing this because they are concerned about carbon initiatives. fossil fuels added to carbon initiatives, and -- if you are actually worried about that, what's the first thing you would be thinking "private jet travel, obviously, it emits a lot of carbon. in just 60 minutes, it emits about 60 times more than an average household emits in three months in one flight! private jet travel's are responsible for more greenhouse gases than the nation of denmark. commercial planes -- private planes collude -- so you would think that most people who fly private our affluence by definition, and the global warming cult is most popular with the affluent, that these same people would have given up private jet travel, but just the

opposite: it's become more popular since the pandemic. it's up 22% since 2019. more than 70% of all private jet flights take place in the united states. what are they doing? ferrying politicians like gavin newsom who doesn't fly commercial, and celebrities like taylor swift, who is jet famously 8,300 tons of carbon this year so far. if you are looking to reduce carbon emissions, you would think they would worry less about your minivan, and more about their g4. but they are worried, and that's why taylor swift, gavin newsom, nancy pelosi all of the people lecturing about climate will never give up their private jets, because when you fly private coming in not only have to not wear a mask, but you are

also immune from the laws of climate change! california has no interest in people who are making -- and preventing people who are making the rules from doing what they want. that's california, so you are tempted to say "it's beautiful but is run by lunatics and turning into a third world country, so maybe, this is just part of their slate of ideas," but it's not just california. it's also happening in more recent places like virginia. currently requires gasoline parts to be saved out -- which is pretty soon. massachusetts and washington have similar laws -- so does new york, and so does oregon. 15 states support their plan for general mission vehicles. they are electric and therefore can be controlled by the energy grid and regulators who oversee it, and it's not just 15 states: it's the federal government!

according to the biden administration, everybody -- extra car by 2035. >> we are all in on making sure we meet the president's goal of getting -- 100% fuel electricity by 2035 and end carbon emissions by 2050. if you drive an electric car, this wouldn't affect you, clearly >> is there a reason you're paying more than $5 a gallon -- >> after waiting for a long time to have enough for a country -- to finally get an electric vehicle, i got it from michigan to hear last week -- to -- >> omar payne we are all experiencing from the price of gas come of them the benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles. become another cascade of

unemployable, every one of whom has a long track record of failure. all of whom are giving no more lecture about how your car is destroying the planet. how long will this country put up with this? a typical electric vehicle costs more than 60 grand, but that's only part of the cost. charging an electric vehicle -- a lot of them -- more expensive than filling your tank with gasoline. "electricity prices in norway are set to reach $1 -- and $100 for one tesla --" and all of the world, countries cult or have deals with this company -- for

byproducts they don't want. this is not a transformation as it would in a democracy where people can choose where they live. this is for a small number of people on top. australia has announced it would be ending loans. parliament was supporting a ban on the sale of gasoline in 2045 in europe. as we told you last night, is a place where they are turning off traffic lights and don't enough energy to keep them on. how is this going to work? the fact that this -- gasoline engines, which we've had for more than 100 years -- if you are a normal person and

to use the subway drive, this is the biggest in your lifetime have you been consulted on it? must be, because it's good for the environment. but, vehicles are terrible for the environment. but no, supplying the materials necessary for -- requires processing using fossil fuels of at least 50 tons of o ore. >> 30 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of cobalt. 90 pounds of copper, 190 pounds of brass. magnesium and other materials.

we are in for don mark ferrer world countries with no environmental regulations whatsoever. >> we did not have that much lithium for cobalt in the united states, but where will this come from? did you know there were lithium mines in china? has "the new york times" reported last year production of these raw materials -- are often "ruinous to land, water, and wildlife" and people -- those are exactly the things that the environmental lobbyists are interested -- they don't care about the land, water, and don't care about the people.

it's not about that at all. it is a religion, it's about making them feel wicked people. by the way, none of this addresses the national security implications. china processes the 14% of the worlds raw lithium. even if we somehow avoid that problem by mining lithium, then what? you have hundreds of millions of americans with cars that the government could turn off in a second, and they are about to be running software that tracks your every move. entire 87,000 armed irs agents.

in a society like that may be sweden, that would be fine, because we trust them. in a country in which the president of the united states is giving a president -- half the population, calling them a criminal element? will he not a good idea. -- probably not a good idea. this is the equivalent of -- past the energy grid, a disaster for the environment. if this happens, it will the single biggest change way family lives. nobody is talking about it. duncan -- says he's going to reverse the spam on gas powered cars. thank you so much for joining us tonight. you're one of the only governors in the country who is talking about this.

>> first of all talker, -- talker, it's great to be with you. virginia last year -- an effort from the previous administration can virginia and california. little did they know that they had signed legislation -- decisions to be made in california, so not only -- they advocated their responsibility to serve virginia. so today -- virginia has to follow california's laws, so you go to work and stop this, because virginians should be making work don't make decisions virginians. have to stop the government last year that was comfortable telling people what to do all the time forgetting that we are here to make her own decisions.

freedom is important here in virginia. people make decisions about whether they want to wear a mask where vaccines come and decide what car they want to buy. >> i think that is right, and thank you for doing that. that's a democracy. i wonder many virginians were even aware that their cars were about to be banned. >> well, i don't think any. i think they did it very quietly and the law itself -- virginia last year, 2% of all cars sold were electric vehicles. in 26, 35%, somehow totally phase them out by 2035? it's ridiculous. this is about elected officials advocating their responsibility to make the laws and regulations for virginians. we swept the house race, and

that's why -- republican attorney general and republican lieutenant governor and we will go to work to get that room from our legislative session. >> i don't know if you can see the monitor, but i want to show you this -- completely taken over by vagrants living in front. there is something among governors where it fell apart. there's air conditioning in august, and some guy smoking meth on your front porch, but we are going to save the clinic? what does that involve? >> i think it's a disassociation with what real people are worried about. what virginians and americans are worried about is inflation, a solid education, parents being listened to about safety in their communities. we have this virginia legislature under democrat who ruled year forget that they work

for virginians to come and next thing you know, they want to ty tice took california's laws. this is a chance to reestablish making decisions for virginians based on leaders they elect. >> that's an inherently modern and sensible idea to me. i'm glad you are running. >> thank you. >> it's one thing harping on energy, because -- biden administration makes our energy grid less reliable. the u.s. military, and eliminate their ability -- "the wall street journal" reporting that according to these officials, the u.s. government is running out of ammunition. where did the oligarchs in ukraine. one example, the number 155-millimeter grounds --

howitzers -- is uncomf "uncomfoy low" and stockpile, from pentagon officials. distributed more than 800,000 rounds of howitzer ammunition to the ukrainian government just this year. where tobacco? we don't know, because we are not tracking. inevitably, a lot of it was sold to stabilize other countries, but the bottom line, as the official told the journal is "we don't have enough to feel comfortable -- combat." the pentagon told "the wall street journal" that this is a threat to military readiness is in accident? it's the opposite of that. meanwhile, functional is still killing many thousands of americans each year, and we often describe it as overdoses come in many cases they are not. these are not drug addicts. people did not know they were taking fentanyl.

it's prescribed as prescription drugs: they were poisoned. we take a closer look.

>> 107,000 africans have died from opioids, fentanyl, but it turns out a lot of these fentanyl deaths were not drug addicts overdosing on fat and all intentionally: people took something they didn't realize had fentanyl and then died. we spoke to the father -- whose son charlie died from fat and all, had it was fentanyl, and it poisoned him. >> the numbers show that among high school age kids where the five-year increase in fentanyl deaths -- six times in the last five years it's gone up. for -- it's 14 times, so these are the kids most at risk, and it's largely people looking for

something that they feel is safe and familiar, being called something -- it is realistically produced, made to look like a medication, but it's laced with sentinel and it's taking these kids -- it is laced with -- >> that is murder. we saw that on saturday, doing the exact same thing. it killed them. that is a story that so many americans -- so who is doing this to mark the special head of the city of st. louis joins us tonight. we know -- i know someone personally who just died of this. why is no one stopping this? >> that's a great question. thank you for having me. first of all, the mexican

cartels are inundating our country with these poisonous fentanyl pills. today, the dea put out something about the rainbow covered pills they are seizing all over the country. what's behind it is you have the chinese communist party looking to destabilize the country by killing kids, and president biden is there in a political speech and finally mentions the word fentanyl. the parents can't believe it. they are angry. it's a rally, september 17, parents from around the white house, they can't believe this administration is ignoring the worst crisis we've ever had when it comes to killing our

kids. who in america wants to see 13-year-old kids dying in their bedrooms? it's insanity. it's frustrating that the president waited for a political speech before the midterms to talk about the death of our k kids. >> if the u.s. government was sending poison into mainland china and killing tens of thousands of chinese citizens, the government would say something, correct? that would be a major diplomatic incident between our two countries. >> apparently they started to say something, and after that trip to taiwan with nancy pelosi, the chinese are saying that they will not help with the chemicals they are exporting from china. they are using the cartels as the proxies -- for security work to kill americans. they are also sending massive

amounts of precursor chemicals, so the mexican lab operators can operate their labs in mexico. cbc -- done a phenomenal job, seizing millions of these pills. last week, 1.6 million pills seized, last august, 1.1 million pills. then, this cartel runs that. what happens if you are arrested for this poison in the united states. i appreciate you coming on. most political advertising has no effect.

you may have seen this. billboards across the country, encouraging americans to vote in the upcoming midterm.

[bushes rustling] [door opening] ♪dramatic music♪ yes! hon! the weathertech's here. ♪ weathertech is the ultimate protection for your vehicle. laser-measured floorliners... no drill mudflaps... cargoliner... bumpstep... seat protector... and cupfone. ♪ what about my car? weathertech.

>> a lot of mornings, you read the news, and the punch line never comes: is it a joke? the prime minister of canada just decided to send millions of dollars to something called the two less lgbtq ias plus community. he had no idea who they were. you don't have to know who the oppressed group is. then, joe biden gives a speech about fascism after writing the home of his political opponent -- you mentioned some billboards you've seen popping up everywhere. it's honestly hard to tell if

it's repeat footage from the communications team or a joke. "demand transportation equity for pansexual's now!" also so much freedom as a bad thing. get your irs audit today. open the jails, vote progressive this november. "don't the radical right put our neighborhood street gangs behind bars. end environmental racism now" you can just imagine thousands of npr listeners driving by and nodding. if you don't like being mugged, you are the problem. this fall, stand strong for progressive values. protect pregnant men from claimant discrimination. this is true: no one is free until pansexual's have free housing.

we have not achieved our goals yet. there's so much more work to do. that should be the litmus test for all democratic candidates going forward. have you brought transportation equity with the theory pansexual community? get off the stage, you fraud we know that no one is free until pansexual's have free housing. los angeles, the biggest city in the world, now the most dangerous city in the country. many of these crimes are committed by mentally ill and drug addicted hole bows, vagrants. the l.a. city council has just propose housing so-called

homeless in a hotel. can't afford a hotel, because you don't live on the street and smoke meth. for a living. that's up for vote in march 2024. we were interested in seeing what effect this would have. this is the manager of a motel 6 in california. thank you for coming on. since you run a motel, tell us what effect this would have on you and if you think drug addicts should have the right to live at your hotel. >> first of all, just so you know, this ordinance is being dealt with in the city of los angeles -- i'm genuinely concerned. when los angeles does something come in smaller cities are usually to follow, so that's my concern. to answer your question, we are conscious of the homeless community, our hearts go to

them, but this ordinance mandating -- not voluntarily -- small hotels and motels to house homeless is not the answer to the homeless question. >> you probably don't want to get political, but the governor of california love -- one of the best restaurants in the world. do you think you require that to serve the homeless free meals? if you have to give them rooms, we shouldn't they be required to give them truffle pasta? >> well sir, i can't answer that question. we have a jenny marnin problem, but this ordinance is not addressing the problems that it's trying to address, which is homelessness, and we do have a jenny rohn problem, but the hotel industry is not the answer. i'm concerned about.

>> right, why should you have to fix it. it's hard running hotels, especially a small one. what effect to think that's had? have homeless people stayed in your hotel before? >> yes, and we had the pandemic, hotels, key program. a lot of hotels voluntarily participated in that. along with the hotel i managed, we chose not to participate in it, but we still do participate in other programs with the department of health services where we help with the homeless. we do do that. >> gavin newsom and governor mansion could fit more drug addicts than in your motel 6, and we should call for housing equity. we wish you all the best. good luck. >> thank you, sir. >> twitter is once again

publishing the accounts from this tiktok, because they have been channeling the truth again. that's not allowed anymore. it has exposed the castration of children. they explain what has happened coming up.

for decades, i've worked at the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness. so when prop 27 promised solutions to homelessness, i took a good, hard look. it's not a solution. 90% of the money goes to the out-of-state corporations who wrote it. very little is left for the homeless. don't let corporations exploit homelessness

to pad their profits. vote no on 27.

>> fox news alert: as we were reading our open about california's inability to provide the basics for the population, keeping the lights on, there was news about new blackouts expected in california tomorrow, so for an update on what is going on, bill melugin, who broke that news moments ago. >> good evening. we are expecting a heat wave in california over the coming days, and california's grid operator iso announced that because of -- it starts, it's going to stress

the energy grid, and they will have a series of emergency notifications that are power related. on top of that, they say they will expect a call on californians to voluntarily concern energy over the weekend via flex alerts. the iso announcing that they expect some serious stress on our energy grid out here because of this heat wave, and they may have to issue emergency notifications. we will have to work towards that thing in the past, but keep in mind that california just announced that we are expected to go to all electric vehicles by 2035 while having to conserve energy be -- back to you >> how weird, they didn't expect that in the summertime. thank you so much. we brought you the saga on this tiktok -- one of the most

influential accounts from twitter. they prove that tiktok is castrating -- minors for no reason whatsoever. this was recorded for -- in washington, d.c., this hospital. >> i just want to know if you guys service that page before coming all the way for an in person consult. >> it depends. some departments are 18. how old is your patient? >> 16. >> they are in the clear. >> so they would do it for that age? >> yes. >> okay, great. is it a common procedure you do for that age? >> yes.

we have all different types of age groups that come through. just out of curiosity, what is the youngest age? >> i'm not sure, but i've seen younger kids. being hip, i'm not allowed to say that, but i have seen younger kids. gender changing hysterectomy surgery make? >> yes. >> they are not denying it and saying that not true, today vice.com which rises to the help of anyone who has been embarrassed -- they went after this tiktok. advice, $1 billion in venture funding, claiming that this tiktok are helping the kremlin boost anti-lgbt

disinformation. they accused tiktok of lying, and npr -- spends all of your time attacking you and your family. pushing to ban their tiktok, and not surprisingly, twitter obeyed and suspended this tiktok, alleging hateful conduct. tiktok creator joins us tonight and explains what it's about. i appreciate your coming on. tell us how they construed hateful conduct from your reporting. how was that hateful? >> they said they purposely left it for the imagination, but i can only imagine that reporting on this journalism and something you don't approve of his -- so, you are committing

journalism and allowing people to assess what they think of this, and then "the washington post" and npr, and this loathsome website, vice, decides that you must be censored for this? does this seem like the way down mike -- and a version of the way things should be? >> when you see journalists and the media calling for other independent journalists to be silent, they don't just want me band. that's what they should be do doing. you recognize -- >> you recognize the totalitarian impulses with timed -- behind what these organizations are doing. >> it just complies, and the media companies are able to call on what they are doing, and to

suspend me like that is scary. >> never complied, never obey. thank you for what you do. marnie is straight ahead.
