about dogs ordering porn made it tab employed. i think tpolgamy spilled things up. corey from florida. alice porter is the man. i don't want to make the judgment. whatever floats your boat. that's all for tonight. tucker is up next. always remember, i'm watters and this is my world. ♪ >> good evening. welcome to tucker carlson tonight. there are a few things more infuriating than being lied to by your own government. the government you pay for, the one your ancestors risk their lives to protect. does that happen to you? of course it has. it enrages you. but if it happens often enough, if your government makes a habit of lying to you, then over time it becomes something else. over time you realize you're not really living in a democracy.

you can't be. because in a democracy, the government has a moral and legal obligation to tell you the truth, always. period. and that makes sense because in a democracy, you are not a subject or a mere consumer, you're a citizen. you are a shareholder in the system. you are an owner of it. the people who run your government are your employees. they're like your cleaning lady. you may appreciate the work they do, good job, but the minute you catch them stealing your cuff links, you fire them. those are the rules because it's your house, not theirs. but what if the rules were inverted? what if you caught an employee stealing but instead of seeming ashamed and pen tant, he ripped around and attacked you like you were the criminal? well, that is the experience of watching white house spokesman john kirby talking about the destruction of the north stream pipelines. anyone who think that the biden administration was in any way involved with that sabotage,

directly or indirectly, is not simply wrong, no. anyone who imagines that is a bad person. a tool of vladimir putin. watch. >> did the u.s. or a proxy for the u.s. have anything to do with the explosion on the north stream pipeline? >> united states had nothing to do with it. it's just raush propaganda it and disinformation. now we know it was an active sabotage, but there's an investigation going on right now. i don't think we're going to get into -- into credentialing that in terms of, you know, who was responsible. we're going to let the investigators take a look at that, but clearly this was an act of sabotage. >> so you can officially say that the u.s. was not involved in any way in this attack? >> that's right. that's correct. >> not to belabor this, but for the people who look at this and say why would russia attack its own pipeline. that creates leverage the west. what do you say to them? >> again, i can't speak to specific accountability for this

active sabotage. i just assure you that the united states have nothing to do with it. of course, that's just russian propaganda. >> so notice the question. did the u.s. -- did the biden administration or any of its proxies have anything to do with the sabotage. john kirby said we didn't do it and moves right to the point which is says anyone who says we did it is repeating russian propaganda. that's what john kirby says. that's disinformation. that's the kind of thing that only truly bad people say. okay. if the white house says, so obviously we have no choice but to believe it. but you still have to wonder, no one does believe that. why? where might some americans have gotten the notion that the biden administration might have been involved, directly or through a proxy, in the destruction of the north stream pipeline? why would they think that? they certainly didn't watch it on russia today.

they didn't hear it from putin or any of hista ministers. of course, any book sympathetic to putin has been banned on amazon. he have piece that reflection the russian modern point of view have been censored in the united states. so actually if you think about it, if americans are deluded about what happened to the north stream pipeline, the delusion didn't come from moscow 'cause there's no way foremost could you to give us disinformation to the united states because the u.s. government have blocked it, long with the tech company. so where did that idea come from? well, maybe they learned from biden himself. he's biden this winter on american television pledging to destroy the north stream pipeline if russia does something he doesn't want them to do. >> if raush russia invades,

again, there will be -- there will be no longer a north stream. we will bring an end to it. >> how would you -- how will you do that exactly since the project is within germany' control? >> we will -- i promise you we'll be able to do it. >> so that's about as clear as it gets. biden doesn't say we will shut it down. he say there will be no north stream pipeline. we will put an end to it. and the reporter says, wait a second, it's not your pipeline. how will you be able to do that? so he has a chance to refrain the question, to revise his answer, but he doesn't. he says, i promise you we'll be able to take out north stream. joe biden, president of the united states. so there's that clue. and then as if that wasn't enough, last week, last friday, the secretary of state in the

biden administration bragged about how great the sabotage of north stream was. and we're quoting. it's a tremendous opportunity, said tony blinken. it's a great thing. not a tragedy, a victory. something we're in favor. we're excite beside it. destroyed a natural gas pipeline. we're for that. so that might be another clue. did the biden administration may have had something to do with it. oh, but no says the white house. despite the fact that we promised we would do it and then we quote about how great it was after it happened, we had nothing at all to do with it. who did it? well, russia did it. they blew up their own pipeline, making their own country poorer and weaker in the middle of a major war because that's how crazy the russians are. suicidal? brilliant. and if you don't buy that story, if you have any questions about how exactly that might work,

you're a disloyal american. shut up. here's chris stewart making the very statement point. >> john kirby with the national security council was on earlier in no uncertain terms said the u.s. was not behind and a proxy of the u.s. was not behind the explosion in the north stream pipeline. from your perspective, both of you, you agree with that? >> absolutely. this is the last thing that we want to raise gas prices further in europe. it's pretty obvious this is a russian sabotage operation. >> and why would russia do that on its own pipeline, what do you say? >> well, then people who are suggesting the u.s., that is exactly what vladimir putin wants. >> it's just so great. i mean, it's perfectly bipartisan. here you have a republican from utah, chris stewart, and a democrat from massachusetts, seth molten agreeing precisely. it's exactly what vladimir putin

wants. he wants you to blame the biden administration for something he did. that's the bipartisan view in washington. what's interesting is they don't really know that. they have no evidence that that's true. briefers from the intel agencies have, as of this afternoon, told members of congress they have no idea who committed industrial terrorism against these pipelines. that itself is a lie, of course. the cia has no idea at all? right. they have no idea. but as far as members of the congress, there's no evidence either way. they have no facts. that is a fact, they have no facts. so, again, as a factual matter, neither of those guys nor member of congress, no matter what economy they sit on a -- committee they sit on has no idea who did it if. if you suggest that, you're

evil. and then they go farther and say things that are like completely unplausible. the last thing we want is to raise gas prices in europe. really, seth molten. is that true? because isn't the biden administration philosophical opposed to low gas prices? are not they opposed to all fossil fuels? right. they are. how do we know that? is that russia propaganda? no because we can't read russia propaganda because it's been banned in favor of opropaganda. so maybe there is a motive here. maybe there's more that you know one motive. but don't ask because, warned the media, asking obvious questions is forbidden. watch. >> fox news host tucker carlson is claiming the united states was responsible for the leak. >> other than putin and tucker carlson, it seems pretty clear that everyone knows that putin did this himself. >> and tucker carlson this past

week actually -- once again, directly repeated russian propaganda suggesting it was somehow the united states behind the attack on the north stream pipeline. how real is that movement? is it growing? >> it's russian propaganda. how dare they. really. is it really? probably. just thought experiment here. a lot of americans who don't feel any allegiance whatsoever to russia, don't like putin -- why would you if you're an american. but care a lot of their own country and the behavior of their own government. so their own government, again, the one they pay for, the one they supposedly control, is doing things contrary to their interest and then lying about it. maybe they think they have the right to know and ask obvious questions like, are you lying? and if you're not lying, speak tell us how your story, the one you're expecting us to believe make sense. it's possible that asking

questions is a patriotic duty of americans. shut up. that helps putin. you're not allowed to say it is. you're not allowed to quote the president of the united states promising to eliminate the north stream pipeline. your honor not allowed to quote his secretary of state celebrating that sab to the best of my knowledge. >> how does this fit into putin's playbook. of course, as you would expect, russians say we're not doing this we're going to launch an investigation. but come on. >> look, you know, the indications are that foul play was involved and that it appears that, you know, russia is certainly the likeliest suspect of this. >> i think this is -- it clearly an act of sabotage of some sort and russia is certainly the most likely suspect. i think this might be just the first additional things that might be coming to -- toward europe. >> what putin is saying to us by blowing up his pipeline is,

look, i can blow up a pipeline if need be. i can blow up the internet cables coming to your country. i can blow up peep line. i can do all sorts of stuff. >> it's bill broad per. >> don't believe your own lyingize. >> there was a moment after the warn in anyway way. in fact hurting the new york times play in convincing the public when he didn't. and for that one moment you thought, wow, maybe they're learning something. maybe they won't do it again. but it turnsout the opposite happened. now they're just completely doubling down on what's very obviously a lie and attacking anyone who ask to hear it explain rationally. and such as the media, by the way.

dc think tanks whose purposes -- what's the point of a d.c. think tank? to bolster the regime. the brooking institution filled that role for many years. they produced this analysis, quote, u.s. podcasters spread kremlin narratives on north stream sabotage. what's interesting about this analysis is that nowhere in it does the brookings institution rebut the evidence that the u.s. or a proxy of the biden administration have something to do it. in fact, there's no evidence either way. instead, they just ask anybody questions. the theories pushed by these podcast mist align with kremlin messaging. align with kremlin messaging. they used to be guilt by association. vladimir putin likes dogs. you like dogs? what are you, a russian sympathizer? right. okay.

it alines with russian propaganda. so the point is, it doesn't matter whether or not it's true. it aligns with kremlin messaging, therefore you must be censored. but not everybody got the memo. there are, tucked away, in the deep recesses of american society a few honest liberal still left. maybe they've been, i don't know, in s -- one of them is a professor of colombia. so he went on bloomberg the other day and asked about the pipeline. he said there's quite a bit of evidence that the biden administration was involved. but rather than follow up, the anchor realizing that forbidden topics are being broached, just shut down the segment. but not before jeffrey sax said this. >> the destruction of the north stream pipeline, which i -- i would bet was a u.s. action, perhaps u.s. and poland.

this is. >> we're going to stop there. that's quite a statement as well. why do you feel -- >> absolutely. >> -- that that was as u.s. action? what evidence do you have of that? >> well, first of all, there's direct radar evidence that u.s. helicopters, military helicopters that are normally based there were circling over this area. we also had the threats from the united states earlier in this year that one way or the other, we are going to end in order stream. they're not allow to say these things in -- in the west. but the fact of the matter is, all over the world when i talk to people, they think the u.s. -- >> okay. >> -- did it. >> professor. >> by the way, even reporters on our papers that are involved tell me privately, yeah, well of course it doesn't show up in our media. the anchors is getting clearly -- stop him.

stop him. what evidence do you have? >> well, there's radar evidence. >> what? be quiet. shut up. just cut him off. never invite him back. stop. the only explanation is the one that government wants you to believe. vladimir putin is so evil, he's destroying his own pipelines. here's an journalist who doesn't work at the "washington post.." aaron recoll aaron, thanks for coming. >> so i'm just wondering. look, i don't know the answer but i also know that no member of congress knows the answer either. i verified that. so why is it that everybody is demanding you believe something that's just not very plausible? >> it's pretty amazing when you consider the track record of the people who are telling us that russia did this. they're the same ones who told

us that russia installed trump in the white house and blackmailed him with a tape who told us that russia plays bounties on u.s. troops in afghanistan, that russia was injuring u.s. diplomats. and that russia invented the contents of hunter biden's laptop. by the way, the same time more many years, those who have been opposing the pipeline, including those accusing russia blowing up. the reason they oppose to it because it gives russia leverage over europe. think of it logically. why would russia blow up its only form of leverage? it does not make any sense. now, the reason why someone else will want to employee blow this up -- john kirby when he was asked does not answer the question whether it could have been a u.s. proxy. he only said that the u.s. was not involved, which to me is very revealing. the reason why, the u.s. and its allies have been oppose to the

nordsfreem for a long time. because in the 2009 study, the nord stream was very prove table for russia. also, if it goes through, bringing gas from russia to germany, the rest of europe, that makes europe and germany more intertwined which in turn makes it a lot harder to raise a proxy war and impose sanctions on russia. the first step -- so the motive is there. as you noted, the intent was clear and public. somehow we are supposed to not believe all logic and all facts and just believe, once again, that russia is behind something that is so drastically against its own interest. >> exactly. of course, the danger and the reason that we should be worried about this is it opens the possibility for retaliation where we could be hurt by russia. why would americans want that? loyal americans who love their country and not russia. why would they want that? i appreciate your clarity and your bravery, so thank you.

>> thanks. >> so a trailer back in aim for a documentary working -- no everyone loves the trailer 'cause not everyone wants to talk about the problem, but the problem is an emergency and that is that men are becoming weaker. not just currently by biologically. biologically. test to ron levels have been about collapsing. and if you didn't think that's a big deal, why not? because it apparently is. so the documentary is out. it's on fox nation. it's called the end of men. here is a preview of it. >> i welcome this opportunity to speak to the people of america about a subject which i believe to be most important, and that is the subject of physical fitness.

a country is as strong as its citizens. and i think that mental and physical health go hand in hand. there is nothing i think more unfortunate than to have a soft, chubby, fat looking children. i hope that all of you will join and everybody in the united states make sure that our children participate fully in a vigorous and adventurous life which is possible for them in this very country of ours. >> there's been a 50% decline in sperm counts in the last 40 years, along with the precipitous decline of testosterone production. we're headed for a calamity. it's not an exaggeration. it's a mathematical fact. >> would you recommend -- >> to what?

-- you're in hard times. well, hard iron chops iron. paz /*

hi, i'm angela. i've lost 58 pounds with golo and i've kept it off. i suffer from autoimmune hypothyroid and i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it simply wasn't.

♪ ♪ >> tucker: i've been trying over the past couple of months to point out that the conflict between russia and united states, it has escalated to a point where nuclear exchange has become more likely than at any other time in history since 1945, more than cuba, much more, because there is no communication. that may seem hard to believe. a nuclear war? that couldn't happen. biden administration just sent out a press release from hhs, spending $290 million on emergency drugs to give americans in the aftermath of a nuclear exchange. so they think it's real. you should know that it is. speaking of the military, technician second class zach

lesch -- when hurricane ian hit florida, they hit the water and saved lives. last week, joe biden personally called him, "i told him how proud i was of him and i thanked him for all the work he was doing to save lives he was denied on the basis he was religious. can't have that. by he has signed his intent to discharge papers. with sadness, we presume. he joins us now. thank you for joining us. do we characterize it correctly? are you really leaving because they want you to take the shot?

>> hi, tucker. thank you for having me on the show tonight. i'm going to be speaking as an have ied individual and not representing the coast guard or dhs. i have already signed my intent to discharge papers which gives me approximately 30 to 60 day window before they discharge me. >> i mean, i would think that the physical veryingor required to be -- vyingor rescuing swimmer is off the charts. >> yeah. it's a fair assumption. our school is pretty difficult and rigorous. we have a pretty high attrition rate. and quarterly, we complete pt test to make se sure we are rd go on duty. >> countries are pulling -- why do you think the administration or the coast guard would be firing people for refusing to

take a product that other countries no longer want people to take? >> you know, i don't -- i don't know why they would want to be doing that. but i do know that i would like to continue working this job. and its a job that i'm really good at. and a lot of others realize really good at. there was other rescue swimmers with me. and we were all doing the same thing and we would all like to keep our jobs. >> unlike some members of congress you're actually improving the country and saving lives. is anyone coming to your aid. has your member of congress have stood up and said we're not going to allow this. has anyone helped you? >> i believe that some people are trying, but right now a lot of what's happening is it's tied up in the court system. and so it's just not happening fast enough for us to, you know,

be safe from this before we get discharged. >> it's just beyond belief. i mean, of all people, you should be rewarded and praised for your actual service, not punished for it. we are really rooting for you. sincerely. thank you for what you've done. good luck. >> yeah. thanks, tucker. appreciate it. >> well, fishing is widely acknowledged to be the greatest sport of mankind. just kidding. recently, we saw a couple of fishermen to go to unbelievable length to cheat at a major fishing tournament. how were they caught exactly? we have those details. a fishing segment, coming up.

de

>> so they were shafting you without your knowledge, it sounds like. >> yeah. it's called fraud. >> yeah.

and this is -- i mean, i don't see any other explanation for this. do you? >> i'm sure you can reach out to the biden family. >> the fbi had the contents to the laptop. they've had it for years now. has there been an fbi investigation into it? what's the outcome of it, do you know? >> i'm not aware of them focusing on those specific facts. everything that i've been privy or briefed on is they're focusing on more legacy tax stuff. they should be looking into that. >> but hunter biden has not been indicted for that? >> i'm not aware of that. >> that was a clip we played last night. it was a remarkable interview. we're not saying that because it around on our air. holy smokes. this guy was not an observer. he was a business partner of the biden family. and he provided mountains of evidence, documents showing that money der biden defrauded him with felony fraud. he also provided evidence to joe biden, was not aware of this.

he was directing his family's overseas peddling operation where they sold access to the u.s. government, which is a felony. this is a guy who would know. this is a guy who can prove it and talked about it almost an hour on television last night. so what's been the response been? we checked with him today. the white house didn't respond at all. neither did any major media organization. no television network in the united states of mark said a word about it. the single response from anyone came on twitter from a loan cnn anchor. and he didn't address anything that tony actually said about the bidens. instead he scolded him for not appearing on his network years ago. that was it. that was the sum total of the response. we're listening to this. last night we were listening to a tape of an interview we did. we're thinking, this is a bombshell. but, in no. if a bomb goes off in the forest, and nobody hears it, did it explode in apparently not.

they're doing it again. they know that when tony is saying is true, provably true. so they're going to suppress the story example act like it didn't happen. and it may work. >> well, there's a scandal brewing in the world of profishing. two competitors were caught stuffing lead weights in other fish filets into their fish. the point of the contest is to have the heaviest total catch to win prize money. these guys would have won nearly $30,000 had they not been caught, but they were caught on tape. their names are jake runyan and jake cominsky. it is in ohio on friday. watch. >> we got weights of fish. >> there we go.

>> a filet fish. >> call the cops. and the lake erie wildlife trail. the cop might respond to that. weighting fish is not a joke. chris joins us to explain what happened. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> of course. the people who discovered seem genuinely shocked and outrage. is this rare? >> to be that shocked and outraged of what happened, no, that's not. what happened is very rare. but their outrage is -- i would have done the same thing. >> yeah. so did they have any chance of getting away with this? it's kind of a crude way to cheat, isn't it? >> i'm going to -- well, speculation. you know, how that is. they could have gotten away with it in the past, but this time it

was too obvious. this is pretty blatant. i mean, the fish, that's one way i'm going to say that they got caught is the fish just couldn't possibly be as heavy as they was by the size of their fish. you're looking at four to five pound frame fish, size fish and here you got one thataway almost eight pounds and almost 34 pounds for the total sack. that's a little farfetched. >> it's a little far teached. that's definitely true. why do you think these guys did it? we're just speculating here. but i'm wondering most fishermen are honest. just kidding. do you think there may be drinking involved? >> i don't think it's much drinking involved. it's all about the money, baby. they probably have got away with it in the past and they just pushed the limits and you can get away with a few times, but it'll bite you in the rear end every now and then and they got bit hard. i hope really hard. >> hard. so what does this mean? is this like a doping scandal?

are they banned from the tour? >> shoot, i think it's worse than that because everybody fishes. this thing is rough right here now. >> what do you think is going to happen? when they show up stream side next summer, are people going to turn away? >> they better be in a see included place if they show up history sided. if anybody recognize them and know what happen they did, they -- i'm telling you. it's upnot -- it's not taken lightly. i mean, this is an history -- most of the people do this as a hobby. very few people do fishing tournaments as a living. and i mean, they took money from hardworking family men and women. it's just not acceptable. and i hope they're punished to the furthest extent of the law. i mean, it's not good thing. it's a black eye on the industry. 99% of it is great, but when it comes to shine, everybody knows about it. >> amen. as much as people make if you know of fishermen as being

liars, they are honorable and great people. i love the fact in a you're outraged, you're not cynical at all. thanks so much for coming on tonight. >> thank you, brother. >> so we've been chronicling the sad american cities to total chaos and violence. the murder capital of america is no longer st. louis. we'll tell you who got that title, next.

>> there's go to to be one of the coolest city in the world. it's not like other places. the word unique is overused, but new orleans is. people love to go to new orleans. hard to go there now. it's just too dangerous and that's a factual statement. new orleans now has the highest per capita murder rate of any city in the united states. so obviously, locale media notice that. here's bun report from -- one report from a local news channel. >> 220 homicides so far this year. that's more homicides than the first nine months of 2022 than all of last year.

as new orleans makes national headlines for becoming the murder capital of the country. he points to the amount of nonfatal shooting victims so far this year. 454. >> so this is an emergency. there's no bigger. it's even worse than global warming or covid. people are dying at a greater rate than any other place in the united states. so if you're in charge of new orleans, you would respond immediately. you come up with some plan to stop the murders. but here's how the actual mayor of new orleans, latoya cantrell responded. >> news headlines spread around the world about new orleans being the murder capital of the u.s. >> i do not embrace that at all. i don't embrace it because, one, that is the -- the data even used for that is more of a governmental term for that. it's not based on what's actually happening. >> in spite of national and

world headline showing new orleans murder rate is 17 times higher than new york city, the mayor down played the severity of the problem. >> mostly all of them are aligned by people who know one another, not random at all. >> oh, they knew one another so it doesn't matter if they're dead. but the best part is when she said she doesn't embrace the data. she doesn't believe them. apparently they're just crisis actor pretending to be dead. >> the mr. landry, thank you so much for coming on. i don't think i ever seen a mayor or a leader of anything respond to murders statistics by denying that they're real. >> i'll tell you, one thing for sure is i love louisiana. it's the reason i'm running for governor. as attorney general seven years ago, back when mitch landrieu was the mayor, i called this problem. new orleans was headed down this

road been both him and this mayor refused to address the problems in the city. we've got a police department that is severely both underfunded and undermanned. and the statistics are real. this is not like shoplifting statistics. this is not like small crimes. these are real people that are dying in the city of new orleans. and if affects our economy. and it affects new orleans. the place is being runned like a third world country. and we don't deserve that. >> i've been to a lot of third world countries that are far better run than new orleans and a whole lot safer. why doesn't the state just take it over? just call it racism or something and move in and take over law enforcement in new orleans? >> you know, it's a great question. one of the biggest problems we're having in that city is that city is under a federal consent decreased. you know, right now in america, the three cities with the

highest homicide rate are all under federal consent decrease. federal consent decrees are basically a federal takeover of your -- or that city's police department. it's something that i've been complaining about. it's something that as governor we're going to find something about. and so that's the way you start to take back control of the -- these cities, is by instituting local and state control in law enforcement. that's a big problem. >> so the feds took over control of those police departments 'cause someone yelled racism and the net affect is more dead black people? how does that work? how is that fighting racism? >> it's not. in fact, again, st. louis, new orleans, baltimore. again, all three cities that are under federal consent decrease, those are things as attorney general we've been fighting to try to wrestle the federal government of that. the one thing in louisiana, we have one of the most powerful executive department in the country. the governor is extremely poufr. he has its ability to bend that

city to his will and he just doesn't. >> yeah. well, well, he should. >> attorney general jeff landry of louisiana. thank you. >> thank you. >> well, a lot of people say you better not mess with the biden family. now we know that's true, thanks to joe biden himself caught on tape. we have that tape. next.

>> joe biden was blaming hurricane on global warming. if only we give him control of the weather, he fix it. down there he was caught on a hot mic warning his enemies. here's what he said. listen. >> i was. >> no one -- >> yeah. >> oh right. tough guy. just going to put a severed horse head on your bed if you

don't stop asking questions. pathetic. well, that's it for us tonight. sadly, we're out of time. we'll be back tonight and every night. have the best night a man that nobody messes with. sean thannity next. >> sorry. i forgot. joe biden. i was thinking as you were playing that -- let's go brandon. does he remember what people said at that time? you can't make this stuff up. tucker, thank you. welcome to hannity. tonight we begin in florida where hurricane recovery efforts are ongoing. earlier today biden made that special trip to the sunshine state where he was in fact caught on that hot mic saying exactly what we just told you. >> i was. >> no one was -- >> that's exactly right. >> such a tough guy, going to
