we will have one of the dragsters on to explain why they are doing this in front of children. we can't put our fingers on it and we need to hear it. that's it for us tonight. tucker carlson is next. i am waters and this is my world. -- watters. >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." a thought experiment. if you wanted to turn a free country into a dictatorship, how would you do it? what is the first freedom you would curtail? the founders of the country thought about that question. they concluded that it wasn't even close. the freedom that matters is the

freedom of speech. that's the most basic of all of the freedoms. that's why it's enshrined in the first amendment to the bill of rights. it's central not only to freedom but to humanity. we can speak. that's our power. in the beginning was the word declares john in the opening of the fourth gospel. the word is the most important thing we have. take away our ability to choose our own words and we are no longer human. we are subject and chattel. authoritiarians understand this. they mate freedom of speech. they would let you have a machine gone before they allow you to say what you want. with a gun you can kill people -- but with words you can expose them.

with words you can change the world. there has never been a deep change that not begin with words. not with violence but with words. that's why they are so focussed on what you can say. on the words you can use. they understand the power of words. elon musk understands this too. that's why he is trying to buy twitter. not because he needs another company. elon musk purchasing twitter is more than a change to the media landscape. it is a true threat to the people in charge. allowing freedom of speech allows the possibility of a revolution from below against the forces destroying this country and the west. everything rides on this. they know it. you may not but they do. they have to do everything they can to destroy musk who was just the other day a hero to him. he is the electric car guy. they don't even mention his

electric cars anymore. he is doing the one thing you are not allowed to do: giving voice to people. they called him a racist. he is from south africa. he was too rich to care they moved on. some argued that elon musk was under-paying for twitter. it's obvious he is over-paying. then the "washington post" max got in. there was another war he could support. to save democracy max boot informed us we need more content moderation on twitter. no free speech allowed. who does censorship help? the powerful. who does it hurt? the weak. words are all they have. take their ability to say what they think away from them and

they have no power at all. tonight after 6 months of watching this drama, it looks like they failed to stop elon musk from buying twitter. right now the deal will go through. twitter locked employees stocks so some transaction is imminent. a source told this show that within 2 weeks musk will own twitter. he said he is doing this in order to give voice to people who have no voice. twitter banned the sitting president of the united states from speaking. making it clear who has the real power. not the u.s. government. corporations like twitter which control speech. they did everything they could to stop this from happening but failed. now they are attempting to destroy musk the man. we are not carrying water for

musk. he may have weird agendas but it's only about speech. the justice department is investigating musk for reasons no one can explain. david got involved because there is no level to which he will not stoop in defense of people in charge. he is calling for the biden administration to seize musk's satellites. the ones he has given for free to the government of ukraine to use in the war effort against russia. quote: the u.s. should nationalize star link the satellite company fast. if you don't like his politics seize his stuff. all that matters is the call for ordinary americans to say what they really think. just take his stuff by force.

cnn is calling musk an agent of russia because he will provide satellites to ukraine free of charge. >> last week reports emerged of sudden star link outages on the front line as troops fought to take back territory. >> they are puzzled why that is going on. something space-x is doing or coming from elon? >> it is news of the funding request to the pentagon come as musk's support of ukraine is questioned after he proposed a peace deal suggesting that ukraine relinquish crimea to russia. >> that peace plan was seen in ukraine as being pro-russian, one ukrainian diplomat told musk to f-off. >> tucker: okay.

do you think they care about russia and ukraine? of course not. if they did they would try to push a peace deal. it's about the united states and musk committing the unforgivable sin to allow you to say what you think about the people in charge. it gives you a little power. they are terrified he will succeed. what we are seeing is the desperation of a class of people running the country who feel like they are losing power. they are panicked. you can feel it. the lifestyle liberals who worked to crush the american people, who have been yelling at you on television for 5 years, feel like it's all slipping away. we are in deep trouble. ready the helicopters we have to get out of here. it's interesting.

unlike previous regimes these are not people in uniform. these are chirping middle aged women. we showed this woman saying we need a lot more censorship in this country. you can't go to the bathroom. shut up and obey. this is the face of soul cru cru crushing fascist liberalism. people like brandi are its storm trooper. she wrote a guy to find where people live if they are guilty of wrong think. she sits back and watches what happens. their lives are destroyed.

for that service to the people in charge, corporate media celebrates here as a hero. they have her on to call for even more censorship. >> we are at the tail end of the rally. you hear this is an anti-mandate rally. that's what people told us. all of the speakers we have seen today have been -- it's been a misinformation fest. we have seen misinformation about the dangers of vaccines. this is an extreme message. we may not see harm like january 6th but health experts say this causes harm just the same. mandates work to get people to say i don't want to lose my job or i want to fly on the plane. whatever the mandate is ruling.

that is good news. we have the first amendment and specific things in our country that make it a more difficult to teach on the internet. it's a very hard problem. >> tucker: there are people out there who don't want to lose their jobs. they want to fly on airplanes but they can't for their own good. shut up and stop talking. the problem per people like brandi and the hundreds of people just like her in corporate media who wake up every morning, no one believes them anymore. people don't care if they are called names. you are trafficking misinformation and you are a racist. i don't care what you say. you are totally discredited. you are a joke! that suggests there is a change coming. we may have a country soon where

people can say what they think. when they do. they can live with dignity again like free people. people are running for office who will not be controlled by unfair attacks from their opponents. they unshackled themselves. j.d. vance is one of them running against tim reiner. ryan. ryan is worried he will lose. ryan said i have to stop j.d. vance -- i don't want to argue with him. so i will call him a racist. that will stop him. watch how j.d. vance responded last night in the debate. >> this great deplacement theory was the motivator for the shooter in buffalo. -- replacement. some sicko got this information

he is peddling with the extremists. marjorie taylor green and ted cruz. they wanted to stoke racial violence. >> this is disgusting. what happens is my own children, my bi-racial children are attacked by scum bags online and in person because you are so desperate for political power you will accuse me of father of three beautiful biracial babies they are racists. you can believe in the country without being a racist. this shows how desperate he is for political power. >> tucker: we are sick of it. not just j.d. vance is sick of it. but every normal person who lives here of all colors and all

political backgrounds. shut up. no, we won't shut up. we will keep talking. j.d. vance leading the way on this. he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. you were unintimidated by that attack on your character. that tells us a lot about what the future will look like and it's good news. >> i hope so, tucker. here's the thing. when they accuse us of being racist, they don't it to promote racial harmony in the country or give black or brown americans more opportunities in america. these are all honorable things to accomplish. they are doing it because they want to dispossess americans from participation in their own country. they call people racists because they want to silence your political opinion. they want an excuse to steal your wealth. that's what all of this is.

when we realize that the left and the media and the politicians on the democrat's side are engaged in this sham. it's not about helping anybody. it's only about hurting the majority of the country. just ignore them and laugh at them because that's what they deserve. >> tucker: yes. at a certain point the gig is up. another white liberal tells me that he speaks for black people. really? tim ryan. nancy pelosi. who made you the spokesman of black people? why do we play along with this? >> absolutely. it's crazy. when you consider that tim ryan my democratic opponent proposed policies that make our streets less safe which is unpopular with both black and white

americans. he supports policies against the working class. they can't win a fair argument. so they call us racists. this is such an important thing for us to push back against. we can't win the argument of the future if we are so terrified of the democrats calling us bad names we are unwilling to stands up for our own principles. >> tucker: exactly. if you are terrified of being called a racist, maybe you are. you are not afraid because you are not. it's simple. i am grateful to see it in action. j.d. vance, thanks for coming on. we paid attention to the senate race in pennsylvania because john fetterman is in it because he can't speak. but there is a race for governor

between the democrat shapiro and mastriano. mastriano is a guy you are not allowed to talk about like lake was. you can't mention their names. maybe that's because he is impressive. he served for 3 decades in the u.s. army. he may flip the state of pennsylvania politically. we are honored to have him join us now. mr. mastriano thanks for coming on. they identified you early as someone who was a threat and tried to make you unacceptable to even talk about. you must have been after 30 years in uniform, were you surpriseed to see this? >> i actually was. you thought the establishment would welcome a career soldier. from the cold war to afghanistan and loving our country.

i could not ride off into the sun set for retirement because the country is flailing. stepped into the arena. all of the experts said there was no way i would win the primary in pennsylvania. one of the most contentious since 1978. we won with half a vote with a mandate. we will take back the state. it's not just another gubernatorial race. i believe the future of the nature hinges on the outcome of pennsylvania at the governor level. it's the birth place of our nation. also we are sitting on freedom gas i call oil and coal. we will can hopefully lead our nation out of this economic malaise. >> tucker: you are running against a kook cutter hack. -- cookie kurt hack. anyone in pennsylvania think

this is great? >> we are not safer. he's been the attorney general for 6 years. crime has gone up 40%. homicide are at record levels in pennsylvania. on track for 600. 1,000 carjackings and 4,000 robberies. it's insane. fentanyl fourth worst in the nation. it's ironic. just a couple of days ago my opponent tweeted out we need to do something about crime. dude, where have you been for 6 years? he is too radical for our state. >> tucker: he is the chief law enforcement officers of a state falling apart because of crime and drugs. doug mastriano, thank you very mu much. why is the left intent on

[bleep]. >> ♪ ♪ >> [bleep]. [bleep]. [bleep]. >> ♪ ♪

>> [bleep]. [bleep]. >> tucker: to be clear, kids were there because organizers wanted kids to be there. you see an event page from best drag shows.com. the bottom of the flier says minors are allowed if accompanied by a parent or guardian. this is not a crime in texas. it's a huge moral crime that nobody should accept. you are not tolerant if you accept this. sexualizing children is the most wrong thing at all. sarah gonzales did something about it. works at blaze tv. thank you very much for coming on. i am misreading this? i can't say the lyrics on tv. there are kids there.

what? >> you are not misreading it. i would say there was a later part of the event where they handed out sex toys as prizes. this was sexual and all ages were welcome. now they are trying to gaslight me to thinking i am crazy for having a problem with this. the excuse is i thought you were the party of parental rights. if you don't like it, don't take your kids. parental rights doesn't afly to the sexual because of children. the left and right useed to say we could not do this. the left is trying to excuse this -- apply. >> tucker: the well funded gay rights groups pushed for gay

marriage and got it. are they on board with this? it's hard to believe that adults are for this but they are. >> there is a sub-sector of adults within these organizations that don't agree with it, but they don't is the courage to speak up. they are scared of being canceled. you have to be on the right side of history. eventually we will win out. you don't want to be caught on the wrong side or excusing this paver. -- behavior. anyone who doesn't speak out is culpable republican or democrat. >> tucker: why would you want to get kids involved? we have a fair deal. you go do your thing and i doll my thing. -- i will do my thing. no, we have to get kids involved. why? >> i believe, tucker, it's

a more sinister attempt by the left. they want this radical country. the only way to achieve that is through chaos and confusion. confusion children about their gender and expose them to things their little brains are know ready for it. big daddy government will pick us up and take care of us at the end. >> tucker: it's beyond belief. you can't get kids involved in creepy sex stuff, periods. i appreciate you bringing this tape. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: obviously that's child molestation sexualizing kids and adults are encouraging and profiting from it. hospitals are making a ton of money for. they are sexually mutilating children. we are against female genital

mutilation. that was only a couple of years ago. now genital mutilation is the cutting edge of cool and people are getting rich from it. amber from london obtained lecture slides from george town university hospital in washington, d.c. what that are they doing? >> it's disturbing. the students are taught up lies and propaganda. this is not an elbgtqive course. -- etchings lengthive course. it's a requirement for first year medical students. and dr. david rightman is a practicing pediatrician is

teaching students if they don't subscribe to the idea that transgender children needs surgical sex changes, their patients will commit suicide. it's blackmail. he claims that puberty blockers are reversal which is a lie. children on these for years report insane side effects like osteoporosis and mental deficiency and infertility. this doctor is pushing this on medical students. >> tucker: it's a jesuit school affiliated with the catholic church. why would the catholic church

have anything to do with this? you can't do this? >> the fact this is happening at a catholic school shows how deep demomonnic influences are in our culture. this is a huge violation of catholic medical standards. the catholic church is supposed to be teaching truth and biological reality. the truth is that no matter how drugs you pump into a child, no matter how surgeries you put someone through, they can't be a member of the opposite sex. god creates all of his children with love. he doesn't create his children with the wrong body. >> tucker: exactly. it was not that long ago they told us born this way. you should accept people as they are born. now, no.

you have to get the doctors with the scscalpelse in from to desty them. thank you very much. you would not think -- doubling down on crazy. they think they are about to lose power on november 8. the cd is trying to force children to take the covid vaccine or they can't be educated. a doctor will join us after the break.

hi, my name is reggie and i lost 30 pounds with golo. before golo, my blood pressure was really high, but after golo, i was able to cut my medication in half. with golo, i've not only lost weight, i'm happier, i'm healthier, and i have a new lease on life.

>> tucker: an amazing story that has been buried. the cdc is expected to add the covid vaccine to a list of required vaccines so children can't attend school without the covid shot. there is no medical basis for this decision whatsoever.

even the ceo of moderna said most people don't need the boosters. 4% of the adults have gotten the booster because they know that. he said it's similar to the flu. what is this? . this is a doctor we trust from john hopkins's university. there is no medical justiceification for this? >> there is no clinical data. -- it's a story of bypassing clinical data. why even have an fda? why do we do clinical trials? we have pharma saying we will give you the top line of the press release and call the white house and the white house calls the fda and the cdc and tells them to get in line. they bought 170 million doses of this new omicron vaccine.

there was never a vaccine added to the child schedule without solid evidence it reduces disease significant in the community. the covid vaccine for children will be the first to be added with no clinical data. we are told stop asking questions. dr. jaw the chief covid advisor at the white house said he's seen the data but it's not public information. what are they hiding? why can't we see this information? we are seeing this intense paternalism to do what we say and stop asking questions. the cdc committee this is voting. that's a kangaroo court. you have to be an visual vaccine card carrying fanatic it to be on that committee. remember, 1 in 5,000 vaccine doses results in a severe

adverse event. according to data from germany because we don't fund that research in the united states. in israel they took 283 people who got heart disease from the vaccine. 1 died and 2 in the icyou. if young and healthy people get this we will see harm -- my children is some schools may blindly accept this. if the cdc puts it on a routine vaccine schedule it's up to states and the parents have a right to see clinical data before we force this as a requirement for school. >> tucker: what you are saying is shocking. i appreciate your saying it. i am sure you are taking heat for it. thanks. so if you are bored, go on the

internet and look at the protests in europe over energy prices. you can't live in some country there is because it costs too much to keep the lights on. black rock is pushing esg and we will get that here. one state decided to fight back by hurting black rock's bottom lines. details coming up.

for risk if you are lending to a junk rated company. >> tucker: that's the evaluation that company will repay its debt? >> exactly. they categorize those companies as being less likely to have a going enterprise. >> tucker: that's risky? >> absolutely. the more you push interest rates down the more you force people to take risks. if you say to somebody trying to save for retirement, you can get0% in our savings account. the miracle of compounding is gone. how do you get enough money to retire on? you have no choice but to take more risks. at first you buy investment grade paper but only yielding

having an energy economy. why are so few states doing what you are doing? >> i think each state handles their money differently. they manage different parts of investments. the money i might have had was money inside of 16 billion dollars worth of trust funds that we invest. this is something i hshave been working on all year. this leaked out 10 days ago. we got out in front of it. they are going after the retirement funds. louisiana is 70 billion dollars -- i don't know yet because i don't invest that money. it's a lot of money. what the citizens of louisiana and the citizens of this country don't really understand yet is how they are using our own money to battle against states like ours who are in a fossil fuel

industry and investing money in countries that despise the united states of america. >> tucker: why send money to people who hate you? that's self-harm. is this a controversial decision? >> no, this fell within the guidelines of the constitution of louisiana. it gives the treasurer being elected the responsibility and the duties for the finances of the state. we moved on our own. it happened over the last 9 months. it's something i have been working with the state financial office foundation since last year. we have been talking about it. you are seeing more states doing it. missouri yesterday. and south carolina last week. we are coming up to $2 billion now that the states have said enough is enough. >> tucker: good for you. you should be proud of acting in the interest of our own voters.
