happy birthday, cheryl. always be on time. that's all for tonight. tucker up next. i am "watters world." happy birthday gut feld! >> ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪ . >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." yesterday was the 21st anniversary of 9-11 the deadliest terrorist attack in all of history. if you are over 30 you remember it vividly. nothing has been the same since. especially the relationship between americans and their

government. a decade ago the "new york times" admitteded and they published a piece on the rise of domestic surveillance abuse which exploded. the patriot act became a short hand for government abuse in overreaching which inflicted collateral damage on political dissent and religious liberty. that's still true and still a tragedy. what is fascinating is that the "new york times" stopped acknowledging it. there was not a single mention of the 9-11 anniversary on the front page of yesterday's paper. the paper that purports to represent new york the epicenter of the 9-11 attack. why would the "new york times" ignore 9-11? a good question. because the "new york times" and the tiny leadership class it represents now endorses the

nationwide crackdown on civil rights that 9-11 made possible. they benefit from it. it's how they keep power. so 9-11 was less a trag than an opportunities. if you don't believe that watch how joe biden commemorated that anniversary yesterday -- >> it's not enough to gather and remember september 11th. those we lost more than 2 decades ago. on this day it's not about the past; it's about the future. we have an obligation. a duty and a responsibility to defend, preserve and protect our democracy. >> tucker: it's not about the past. it's about the future. this was in a speech supposed to mark the anniversary of the deaths of thousands of americans at the hands of foreign adversaries. when joe biden speaks about the future you should listen. don't focus on the dead, focus

on what i want to do. what does joe biden want to do? fight islamic terrorism? protect democracy. what is this democracy that joe biden speaks of? why won't we define it ever? how is that democracy in peril? these are pivotal questions. for answers we turn to the source. chuck todd of nbc news who is a more articulate version of pier. >> the capitol came under attack from domestic terrorists. our focus shifted from foreign terror to the threat from within. >> it's dangerous and harmful.

it makes us weaker. you look at everything from the fact that there are 11 people right now running for secretary of state. the keepers of the integrity of the voting system of their state who are election deniers. you have -- >> what message does that send to the world? >> couple that with people who hold high offices in our country who refuse to condemn the insurrection on january 6th. >> tucker: are slack jawed watching this. i asked the vice-president how over 2 decades our focus shifted from foreign terror to the threat within? what does that mean? what are you talking about you freaking lunatic? there is no group of americans anywhere in the united states half as dangerous as the 9-11

hijackers. to suggest otherwise is insane. drawing a parallel between the election and protests of january 6th and the fall of the twin towers? lunacy, but kamala harris didn't pause like the question was a set up. just nodded. this unspecified internal threat is like al-qaeda: very dangerous and harmful. you may wonder what is this threat? we just declared a new war on terror but against whom? who is this threat? it's you. as the vice-president said, anyone who questions the legitimacies of the last election. didn't kamala harris call the 2016 presidential election

illegitimate? yes, she did. so did every leader of the democratic party. they will say the same to this day. she is telling us and the sitting vice-president that anyone who questions the 2020 election should be in jail. watch. >> what is semi-fascism? >> listen, let's not get up in politicizing the fact that most people in america know it's not helpful to our country when we have people denying elections or trying to obstruct the outcome of an election where the largest number of people in our country voted for the president of the united states. when we look at where we are, we have to admit there are attacks and we need to take it seriously.

>> tucker: again, that's the sitting vice-president. they tell us over and over she received more votes than vice-president in history. if you don't believe that and there are reasons not to believe that, you are like muhammad, our beliefs are acts of terror and you need to be pursued lie law enforcement. she just said the greatest threat to our country is republicans might be elected to statewide office in 11 states. that's comparable to 9-11. is no one noticing this? the biden administration's mes message, on the anniversary of 9-11 any american who disapproves of joe biden's performance is a terrorist. here is the dhs secretary mayorkas. >> the threat landscape evolved

over the last 20 years. we are seeing a threat of the domestic extremists. the individuals in the united states radicalized to violence by an idealogy of hate and anti-government sentiment and false narratives on online platforms. >> tucker: does no one see this happening? the dhs secretary is saying opinions he doesn't agree that are expressed online, which is constitution protection -- that's why we are different from iran -- the fact that people have different political opinions. stacey abrams said she is the governor of georgia. we think she's a lunatic. the dhs secretary is saying those people are al-qaeda.

this is terrifying. on thursday september 1st, 2 months before the mid-terms elections that, joe biden declared his political opponents enemies of the state. a clip. >> too much of what is happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. we are all called to confront extremists who put their own pursuit of power above all else. democrats, independents and mainstream republicans, they must be more committed to saving american democracy than maga republicans are to destroying it. >> tucker: no one takes him seriously. the declaration of war on

a political party in a 2-party system which would lead us to a 1 party state. it's easy to dismiss that and a lot of people did. yet the morning after joe biden delivered that speech. lisa gallagher was sick in new jersey. her daughter told her the fbi was waiting outside. she had a trump sign on her lawn. she's never been in trouble and had nothing to do with january 6th. yesterday out of her door were 3 fbi agents with guns. "we got a tip you were at the capitol on january 6th." he was terrified.

her husband came home and they showed the fbi agents her daily calendars and convinced the agents she was not at the capitol that day. armed fbi agents show up at your house because you supported trump on facebook and demand records of your wheres about in 2 years ago. the point was to use government agents to intimidate enemies of the regime on the basis of an anonymous tip. "i have never been so frightened in my life," lisa said. snitches? anonymous snitches and the police showing up at your door when you are dead. this is soviet. there is no other word for it.

the same thing is happening to scores of supporters of the former president. this woman gives out permits to authorize donald trump event. for the crime of authorizing an election justice rally, amy is terrorized by the doj. the fbi turned up at her home. first at the home of her ex-husband. the stepmother called her and said the fbi is here for her. the fbi demanded social media

posts. why does the fbi need her daughter's instagram posts? this is harassment. it's illegal and unconstitutional and shocks the conscience of everyone who sees it. but it's not covered by any media. this show obtained the subpoena and what is demands is unlawful. it claims to be investigating any claim that the vice-president and/or president of the senate had the authority to reject or choose not to count presidential electorate. any claim you make about american politics is protected

under the first amendment. that's why american servicemen died protecting our service. that's why nobody prosecuted democrats in 2016 when they sought to reject electors for donald trump. now garland's doj is demanding information from all of these people. on what grounds are you demanding my private communications with people? they never say. included in this precedent breaking sweep of political opponents of the biden white house would be. former white house advisor. and epstein the current attorney for donald trump. at no time in america history is

okay to grab the personal communications of someone's lawyer. those are privileged. not anymore. rnc official and trump attorneys. rudy giuliani and sidney powell and we could go on and on and on. the doj is now going after from a white house official steven miller a frequent guest on this court. miller said if we win these cases in the courthouse we can direct the alternate state of electors are certified. he didn't call for a coup. he called for them to be seated if the court ordered that. he was following the

constitutionally prescribed process. under joe biden that's a crime. everyone of these people has to hire lawyers to defend themselves. a lot of them can't afford it. in addition, we obtained the subpoena that demands the communications from other republicans and people who spoke to them. including the republican state party secretary in nevada. among dozens of others. what is this about? it can't be about january 6th. the fake insurrection. the only insurrection in history with no guns. the insurrection was the only person shot to death was a trump supporter. no the point is to suppress political dissent and hobble

a political party and keep these people from ever participating in american politics again. the cost to each individual. at whose house the fbi showed us is enormous. the fbi showed up at their home with guns. accusing them of insurrection comparing them to confederate soldiers garland plans to disenfranchise them or jail them. too ironic to be real? it's real. just happened in new mexico. a state judge in new mexico removed an elected communitiy commissioner from office because he dared to exercise his constitutional rights by participating in the election justice protest on january 6th.

this is not a talking point or a conspiracy theory. that's real. it geban after january 6th when republicans were so blown back, so intimidated by the other side they let it happen -- its effects are accelerating now. if you support joe biden's political opponents you could be visited by armed agents from joe biden's fbi. as we reported last year in our documentary that was mocked, it's happened to people living as far as as alaska. >> it felt like an invasion of our space. we would have a cup of tea with them. all right, what do you need?

>> they cuffed me and put me in a chair. >> initially they would not present a search warrant. >> what are you doing inside my house with guns and handcuffs? >> it never occurred to me they would being he with anything to do with anything inside the capitol. we never made it inside the capitol. >> tucker: why is this happening? because no one pushed back against it. and why did the lunatics defenders the police? there was no opposition. george floyd died and they called everyone a racist and everyone obeyed their ludicrous demands. it's not just a threat to the republican party, on one level a lot of conservatives say 2

cares? that's not what it is about -- it's a threat to the american system. political federal law enforcement is a threat to democracy and to the system we live under and to everything we have that is valuable. we can't allow this. no one mentioned it. lisa gallagher is one of the many trump supporters who woke up to an fbi raid and she is joining us to tell us about it. thank you very much for coming on. you have not committed a crime of any kind. i don't think you have been accused of a crime. you were not at the capitol on january 6th. tell us how you felt when joe biden's fbi showed up with guns at your home the morning after his speech. >> i was terrified. when my daughter woke me up telling me there were 3 armed fbi officers at my door. i thought she was joking. i threw clothes. i called my husband and i was

crying and my knees were shaking. even though i knew i had done nothing wrong, after seeing joe biden's speech the night before. i thought my god, this is political. i was frightened. i thought they can take me out of here in hand cuffs. am i not coming home? i went outside. i said gentlemen, you are scaring me. they proceeded to tell me they were given an anonymous tip i was at the capitol on january 6th. >> tucker: even though they knew you were not because they had facial recognition software. do you know who this snitch was that turned you into federal law enforcement for supporting trump on facebook might be? >> no. i invited them into my home to look at my phone and calendar. i called the fbi office in newark to know for sure it was fbi agents at my home.

it was. they said it was an unanimous tip but won't tell me anything else. >> tucker: because there are not enough law enforcement concerns right now. it takes bravery to come on and explain what happened to you. i am grateful you did this. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: glenn greenwald since 9-11 being yelling about the disappearance of civil rights. he was mocked by many including us. we don't mock him anymore. he joins us. thanks for coming on. we reached the point where even people who did not take this seriously are concerned. >> awes should be.

-- as you should be. with the war on terror there was an actual attack. i thought the threat was exaggerated but there was a real attack. before january 6th there was an attempt to import the first war on terror on to domestic soil. adam shipp had legislation to make that first war on terror domestic terrorists. 2 months before january 6th when biden was declared the winner. they said a top priority for the biden administration is to reintroduce the war on terror but this time on domestic soil. they justify in the wake of january 6th but before then this is what they were intending to do to criminal the opposition

and solidifying their powers on american soil. >> tucker: do you feel like you are going crazy. the opposition party is gutted by the doj and nobody is saying anything about this? how can no one notice? >> one of the most bizarre thing skepticism to the cia and fbi and nsa, it was how the american left understood it. the political framework now, what you see belief in the cia and the doj and the fbi and the nsa is on the american left and the right is skeptical of it. that's why they called january 6th an insurrection.

biden said you can't overthrow the government but say 900 people on january 6th are insurrection. >> tucker: you called that earlier. a reason they were using that word. you saw immediately it was a legal precedent they were trying to set to do what they are doing right now. i appreciate your persistent on this topic. thank you. last week we decided to go deep and take a look at john fedderman. the lt. governor of pennsylvania and running for senate. we found him to be unhinged. tonight we will speak to the man running against him dr. s on who will join us after the break.

>> ♪ ♪ . >> tucker: probably spent yesterday thinking about the 3,000 americans murdered by foreign terrorists on that day. it's sad. we think about the people who were killed that day. that's not what fetterman did,

who is running for senate in pennsylvania, he called for more abortions. he struggled to speak because me can barely speak. in one rare usid moment he referred to him as john fetterwoman. >> my name is john fetterwoman! >> [cheers and applause]. >> you know what i would do if i was the 51st vote, get rid of the filibuster. next codify roe. abortion is the ballot now in november. >> tucker: he's never had a job before. dr. oz is running against fetterman. thanks for coming on. this is one of those races i am

not sure people are paying attention to. the deeper you look into this guy the more shocking it is that he is running for public office. how is this happening? >> well, let me give you a few examples and my diagnosis. he puts himself above others and the law continuously. he hasn't paid his taxes 7 times. you want middle-class tax hikes but you have not paid your own 67 times. >> tucker: supported by his parent until he was 49 years old. he was a rich kid and he hasn't paid his taxes. how is that allowed? >> it's stunning. he has a nonprofit and properties. he has tax liens and he ignores

them want the hypocrisy runs deep. he cares about criminals over the innocent. one-third of all prisoners in pennsylvania should be released, convicted murderers serving life sentences and the murder rate is the highest it's ever been. the "washington post" just put out an op-ed piece. say are figure democracy to survive you have to answer questions. he has to agree to multiple debates to prove his ability to serve. what i think is happening, i think liberals are trying to bury the truth. they have poured money into pennsylvania. if you are worried about that, go to my website and help me out. they are trying to hide what is going on.

to manufacture somebody that seems appealing but way outside of the boundaries of the people of pennsylvania. >> tucker: i am not mocking a guy for having a stroke, but we have to live under him if he makes it to the senate. he wants to boot the debate until after all of the early voting is conducted? >> he hasn't agreed to debate, that means you have a date, time, location, a moderator. that's not what is happening here. he hasn't agreed to a debate. what i have challenge him: either you are healthy enough to debate, which your team keeps saying or you want to hide these radical ideas or you are lying

about your health. he hasn't been able to defend these positions. he wants open borders and to legalize all drugs. we have the biggest open air drug market ever in philadelphia. swaths of the city consumed by zombies. and they are number 3 in the country for fentanyl deaths. i have been to 200 places around pennsylvania. fetterman maybe half a dozzen and spoke for a total ever 25 minutes. he hasn't answered questions from the media, voters or me. it's not just a debate. he's got to defend himself -- he is hiding. >> tucker: another rich kid refusing to defend his position. this is not democracy. dr. oz, thank you very much for joining us. this was the most important story in the world.

a duke volleyball player made the allegation she was called a racial slur during the game. the media accepted that. but it was a hoax. jason will join us next. this can't possibly be an accident. look at the sky. it's beautiful. i had in my mind that this was an attack right away. you saved so many lives that day. where were you when the towers came down? i hear this loud noise. i look up and it was the north tower coming down. and i can just remember the huge antenna imploding into the building. i looked up and i said, i'm not going to outrun this. i dove under an apparatus there on the corner of west and vesey. awaited the dust cloud. right here. right here. i was in my house in the south tower, came down, and i received a phone call from a firefighter. he said to me, frank, it's really bad down here. i said, i know. and he goes, no, you don't understand. nobody's come home.

and i had to get off the phone, tell my three sisters my brothers, that steven wasn't coming home. he ran through the tunnel to the towers. and that's why we started the tunnel to towers foundation. all these men and women have inspired us. every time i'm here at the american response monument that represents the 12 horsemen that rode into afghanistan, they were told, you take this mission, you're not going to come home. true american heroes. they never forgot what happened on september 11th and meeting them when they came home. it just sent chills up my spine because i knew what they went through. we're so proud at the tunnel to towers. for taking care of catastrophically injured service members. gold star families. well, if you're a fallen first responder anywhere in america and you die in the line of duty, we're going to pay off your mortgage. and if you don't have a home, we're going to build you a home. we got to support our first responders and our military. they support us. they protect us. and we have to protect them and their families. as well. by giving $11 a month. you're joining us on our mission to do good

and take care of gold star families. catastrophically injured service members and first responders. go to t2t.org now.

>> tucker: it's clear that the demand for racism in the united states vastly outstrips the supply. we have a racism supply crisis so we need to make something. they are. a volleyball player from duke university claimed she was called racist slurs every time he went to serve the ball. it was against brigham young university in utah. if you look at the details the claim did not make sense and there was no video evidence to support it. the media didn't care. they just amplified the claim. >> a duke volleyball player is speaking out after she and other

black teammates were called racist slurs in a match against brigham young university. >> a volleyball match turned ugly after one duke player was heckled with racist slurs. >> racial slurs. >> it's not just the racists attacks that rachel and fellow players endured. >> she was called the "n" word every time she served. she was threatened and made to feel unsafe in a crowded gym. >> tucker: there was wall-to-wall media coverage of this claim but no one looked at the details. they are apparently not news organizations. can you just destroy someone's lives of the people accused. byu decided to visiting the claim because it happened at their school. in the pursuit of the truth they interviewed more than 50

eyewitnesses. they concluded there is no evidence it happened at all. what is this? we have seen this before several dozen times. jason, thanks for coming on. i feel like i have seen this movie quite a bit. why do i keep seeing the same movie? any idea? >> yes, i have a strong idea. tucker, this story never made sense from day 1. it was obvious this young woman, with her own racist past in social media concocted this. for the media to jump on it, it's the reason why they jump on these fake racial incidents is because they don't want to cover the real racial incidents they

supply. to have a political party basically preach to black people you must abandon your religious faith in service to the democratic party. you must hop on board with every satanic movement, kill your baby in the womb and mutilate them. you must hop on board with all of. abandon your religious faith in serviced to democratic party. if you understand the history of black people, there is nothing more racist than that. they want to talk about that. they want to talk about make believe scenarios that never made an ounce of sense this game was televised. no one made a sound. no one looked in the stands. no one acted as if anybody was

being heckled. this was a 19-year-old girl and her god mother and the media ran with it. it never made an ounce ever sense. -- of sense. why would she lie? why wouldn't she if her god mother is a racist? this is no different than the carolyn bryant in 1955 in mississippi. this type of groundless accusations got emmitt till killed. this 19-year-old woman and her god mother and father who were not there. they don't want to end racism. they want to impose racism on people they don't like.

>> tucker: it makes everyone in america suspicious of one another. it's the worst thing ever. i appreciate you calling it out. jason whitlock, thank you. the "new york times" is lying again. not a new story but interesting how subtle the lies are. manipulating the best seller list to pretend people whose views they don't agree with aren't selling books more than anybody else. but they are. we have the numbers next.

a specific example. the paper told us the best selling book in the united states was i am glad my mom died by a child actress. that was not true. that book was not the best selling book in america. the best selling in america last week was the great reset and the war for the worlds written by alex jones. it sold more than 56,000 copes of his book. mccurdy sold 34,686 copies. jones sold a lot more books. but the "new york times" lied because they don't want you to know that. the "new york times" wants you to believe that jones is more discredited than the "new york times." the paper that started the iraq war about weapons of mass destruction. but jones is worse. they lied about his book.

what else are they lying about? our 2 part documentary series is out exposing the activists trying to indoctrinate children about the laws of biology including castration and sterilization. we asked him how gender idealogy spread. >> what is happening in schools is the decision making and the elevation of authority changes the social response. if you go to a doctor and a doctor tells you something that might sound absurd, you might trust that person because he is in a hospital. he has doctor on his name tag. wearing a white lab coat. the social signals are telling you this is good advice.

if a parent takes a kid suffering from anxiety and depression and a doctor tells you your kid has gender dysphoria. put the kid on puberty blockers and transition the child. they are telling the is good. if you oppose it you are the problem.you this good. if you oppose it you are the problem. >> tucker: that's a conversation worth watching starting 7 a.m. on fox nation. while there check out our 2-part documentary the cult of confusion. we'll be right back. i may be close to retirement but i'm as busy as ever.
