tragic deadly shooting on the set of "rust." "the new york times" reporting he will play in the play "art." >> judge jeanine: thank you so much, bill. and shyam mccallum will be on the show tomorrow night exclusively. you won't want to miss it. that's all for tonight, thanks so much for watching. catch me every day on "the five." ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." imagine for a moment something you have never done before, but imagine for a second you are joe biden. you have spent your entire life and politics. you have ascended to high office, but in fact you have achieved very little. his political career is inevitably do and yours is in bitterness and failure. you have sacrificed your entire life to personal ambition, but you have nothing to show for it.
5:01 pm
you have no close friends, your family is in tatters. of your two surviving children, one is a drug addict and the other you're only living daughter has been arrested repeatedly. she blames her compulsions on the fact that you took challenge with her as a child. never been charged with doing that, but everyone around you knows that you did. at this point your wife think so little of you that she demanded you keep working despite the fact she knew perfectly well that you have dementia. in retrospect, your life has amounted to a very sad story. the saddest of all, it is almost over. weeks from now you will turn 80. this is the point in the journey where a decent man turns inward, old age is a pause that god gives us to reflect on what we have done and what we have left undone. and above all to ponder where we might be going next. if you are joe biden, you would ponder that. how could you not? but joe biden is not doing that. in the final days of the 79th year, joe biden is not asking questions about the fate of his soul. but making pronouncements of
5:02 pm
yours. the soul of the nation as he puts it. that's the topic of the prime time speech tomorrow night, don't expect to hear anything transcendent, we have not seen the transcript, but we can say that he will not say a word about the single greatest problem that our country faces which is the other lack of meaning in our international life. what exactly do we believe as americans? what is the point of all of this? fighting climate change? yelling about diversity and equity entrance rights? it can't be the point. those are fads, not ideals, and if they are all we have, we are in trouble. there is a yawning void at the center of american identity. no wonder everyone has gone crazy. don't expect joe biden to address any of that tomorrow night. he is above all a part of sin, a team player right or wrong, so he will use this time to push for partisan advantage of head of the coming election. and that alone is not surprising. that's what most politicians would do. but joe biden is different in this way. in this age he has lost all
5:03 pm
sense of proportion and restraint. his fine motor skills are gone. he no longer persuades, he bludgeons. what we are seeing now is either the beginning or the death of extreme mag philosophy. it's not just from, it's the entire philosophy. fascists, that's what the other side is says joe biden, an american president comparing tens of millions of his own people to the moral monsters we shot and bombed and hung from the gallows in world war ii. the children and grandchildren of americans who died fighting the nazis are now themselves nazis says joe biden because they vote republican. it is hard to believe they would say something like that in private. but joe biden did, and then a few years later at a high school gym he said it again. >> we won't let anyone tear america apart. i will close with this, we are at a serious moment in our
5:04 pm
nations history. the mager republicans don't just threaten our security, they are a threat to our democracy. we must be stronger, more determined and more committed to saving america than the maga republicans are destroying america. >> tucker: destroying democracy the same politician who destroyed the home of the politician running against him in the next election. it was also crazy and over-the-top, yes, extreme, you could not believe the white house press office would try to defend it. would've been better to announce that he must've had a stroke, apologize, and then move on. the white house seemed completely unashamed with what he said. his history making publicists, the single dumbest person ever to hold that job explained that her boss had spoken intentionally and with prec precision. he "called it what it is"
5:05 pm
meaning joe biden called republicans what they are. they are nazis, he said so, next question. having established the political opponents are fascists about what they do, but you artie knew what they do. nazis murder people, it's what they are, so it should surprise you that on january 6 republicans killed several police officers peer joe biden said that yesterday. >> imagine, joe, if you turn on the television in washington, d.c., and saw a mob of 1,000 people storming down the hallways of the parliament, breaking down the doors, trying to overturn an outcome of election. in killing several police officers in the meantime. >> tucker: did you just hear that? on insurrection day last year, donald trump's nazi cue in on army killed several police officers. we did not know that, how many police officers? and you will can you tell us their names?
5:06 pm
he didn't, because there aren't any. not one, the only person we can say for sure who was killed on january 6th was an unarmed female trump voter named ashley babbitt who was shot to death by a reckless police officer. that killing was never investigated because she was a nazi. you don't need an excuse to kill nazi, but there is no bag limit, shoot all you want. that's the message appeared when you are nazi, there is no limit to what they can do to you and feel morally justified as they do. not so long ago democrat leaders told us that beat cops were nazis, remember that? joe biden's vice president collective bail money through the minnesota freedom fund in order to free people accused of people pinning violence against the police. the protesters kamala harris sprung from jail was a felon called sean michael tillman who was out for three weeks before authorities say he shot a man to death at a train station. now shortly after kamala harris boosted the minnesota freedom fund, joe biden rewarded her by
5:07 pm
choosing her as his vice president. it's what the time joe biden was much less concerned with violence against law enforcement as his partner was encouraging it. cops ambushed all over the country. in baton rouge, louisiana in 2020, a man name ronnie kato threaten to execute police officers to make good on the threat. he shot two cops and killed one of them. robert williams approach to police officers and a marked police car and pulled out a gun and for no stated reason open fire. 12 hours later arrived at the 41st police precinct and started to shoot more cops, only stopped when he ran out of ammunition. this is a trend and it continues to this day. ambushed style attacks on the police increased in 2021 and are up again this year. in fact, they are up 50% so far in 2022. how has joe biden responded to all of this? did he alert the justice department? no, he invited leaders to blm to the white house, the same that just a few years later called
5:08 pm
for the murder of police officers in minnesota. [chanting] "pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon." >> tucker: pigs in a blanket, fry like bacon, killed the police. his position on cop killing was certainty has changed in the past two years, but so has his views on a lot of things including national immunity. here's what we have for a year and a half just after the election, just as protests of january 6. at the time joe biden said he wanted to bring the country together. do you remember this? here it is. >> today on this january day, my whole soul is in this. bringing america together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. we joined forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature and so today at this
5:09 pm
time in this place, let's start afresh. >> tucker: stop the shouting, lower the temperature, unite our nation. that's exactly right. whatever happened at that joe biden. we voted for that joe biden, certainly. we will probably want to back. we can't now, america has changed too much. why? because the joe biden program did not work. it turns out the country needed more than equity, we needed confidence. we needed someone wise to run the federal reserve and engineers who actually understand how energy grids work, not just posture about them. we needed a pentagon that could win wars to end a state department that occasionally would consider the interest of the united states. we need federal law enforcement that cared about justice and intel agencies that spy on our enemies, not our citizens. but importantly we did not get any of that, so inevitably, things started to fray. not all of these are joe biden's help, a lot of help over
5:10 pm
decades, but a lot of this is joe biden's fault and he can't admit it is he can't face the prospect of its internal future as his idiot birthday approaches, so he externalizes it. he yells at you, not himself, you are the problem. you are the reason things are broken. your racism, your trance phobia, your minivan, it's your fault. you stood in the way of progress. you are a nazi. we declare war on you. that's exactly what you're seeing. that has happened. any wonder is joe biden attempts this if he can pull it off. middle-class america is the problem? that's not an easy case to make, too many facts in the middle of it. at the same day that he announced that republicans were fascists, that same day not per chance the same day that joe grogan aired his interview with mark zuckerberg with facebook. in that conversation mark zuckerberg admitted that he censored the views of hunter biden's laptop, because the fbi told him to. the fbi told mark zuckerberg this was russian propaganda,
5:11 pm
even when they knew for a fact that it was not because they had the laptop. the fbi interfered with the presidential election. that seems like a big story, in fact, it seems like a turning point, but joe biden ignored it completely. in his speech he lashed out at anyone who might dare complain about the fbi. "it's intending to see the new attacks on fbi" suggesting legitimate criticism was in fact a threat of violence. speech is violence. but joe biden was not alone in delivering that message, that very same day the justice department's designated mouthpiece and nbc news, defending the fbi on social media to the same effect and so did many others. so, if you step back it started to look coordinated, and you began to wonder, could it be that joe biden is not saintly alone elderly democratic politician, could it be that he is a mouthpiece for a much larger force? it's hard not to conclude that.
5:12 pm
because no single american president could take these liberties all by himself in a year and a half. all of a sudden washington can invaded the home of a former president. he had secrets, no, he didn't. he is bad. and steal their communication. that has never been allowed and it is now. no single president could do that or trespass any building into a felony and then arrest hundreds of people for it and send them to solitary confinement in the d.c. jail. no single president could do that, no single president could redefine an entire opposition party as and then proceed as if that was normal. that cannot happen, no president could do that. they would need help to do that, and joe biden has had it. this did not arrive out of the blue. we have been building toward it for a very long time. last year the biden administration decided to have thousands of law-abiding republicans fired from their jobs. to their lives destroyed. how did they do that? they mandated an experimental vaccine that did not work.
5:13 pm
a drug the u.k. government says could be dangerous and should not be used on women or breastfeeding, and disobey their instructions. >> i'm announcing the department of labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated. or show a negative test at least once a week. we are going to protect vaccinated workers from nonvaccinated coworkers. be patient, but our patience is wearing thin. >> tucker: oh, that was a fast way to find out who is disobedient. at the very same time joe biden demanded the entire american population where paper masks on their faces. not to protect them or to keep them healthy, that did not work, but as a uniform the equivalent of the mall pen and anyone who
5:14 pm
didn't cannot be trusted. >> i hope everybody has realized by now that the masks make a difference. the last thing we need is them thinking that everything is fine, take off your masks, forget it. it still matters. >> tucker: the masks make a difference. which apparently they did not make a difference except to cut off oxygen to your brain. but they made quite a political difference. separating the obedient from disobedient immediately, and knew who's team everyone was on by looking at their faces and once we allow that the progression continued and it's been strong. wear a mask, or you are dangerous. take the shot, or you are a criminal. and at this point, both for joe biden or you are a nazi, that's where we are now. so as joe biden explained on tuesday, this is a big change. once you have been declared a
5:15 pm
nazi, you don't have rights. you can for example be trusted with firearms. >> we are not stopping here! i am determined to ban assault weapons in this country! determined. i did it once before, and i will do it again. >> tucker: they did before, it did not work. look at the rage, that was this week. remember a year ago, stop the shouting, lower the temperature, and unite our nation, that was last year. not anymore, nazis, they are taking off the velvet glove and we will feel the steel beneath it. the hoover institution joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. it seems to be a very bad sign that the president on the united states is likening the opposition party to the nazis and not accidental, seems intentional and seems like the beginning of something very bad, can you think of any other president who has ever spoken
5:16 pm
this way about american cit citizens? >> not really, we had a senator named joe mccarthy that did and we know how that ended up. but joe biden's offer unity when his polls are about 50% and when he is desperate and so far as it is dropping even this week as i speak down to 38 in the latest reuters and then he tries to divide the nation. and we know how that will end up coming out well for him. but it is so predictable. we went through the russian collusion hoax and through the laptop this information hoax, and then we went through the insurrection and the attempt to overthrow the government januart the donald trump raid hoax that he had nuclear secrets and had to be for the first time his home had to be invaded. and it is so predictable, because it is just a mass distraction. none of these issues that he has pushed through, joe biden on the border, on crime, on inflation,
5:17 pm
on the economy, on injury has 50% support, he does not have 50% support. and we have been talking about the nation. and all of the psychodrama's that are gender outcome and how it civil war porn. at the right is fascist, they are nazis, but if you listen a civil war of succession, read the magazines. all they talk about his succession. if you want to look at revolutionaries, who is the one that wants to pack the courts or destroy a 230-year-old college. or the filibuster, and the fbi, the doj, the cia, are there generals right now who are saying that joe biden should leave office sooner than later than they did about the former president? i don't think so. and on inauguration, nobody is saying the white house should be blown up as madonna did. nobody is writing a foreign
5:18 pm
policy magazine that we need a military coup. >> tucker: americans are not nazis, most americans are nice on both sides. it worries me he is talking this way and i appreciate your perspective. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: as they told you last night, the biggest energy grid is falling apart, can't keep the lights on, but the governor of the state gavin newsom does not seem worried. he announced this week he is banning gasoline vehicles in california coming soon, everybody needs an electric car. so we asked during last night show, how are people going to charge these electric cars if the energy grid in california cannot even run their washing machines? that was a rhetorical question and we got our answer quickly a few minutes after that aired the grid operator told residents to engage in conservation over the weekend. was that mean? they were told to "avoid using
