math and thinking not my thing. deb from wisconsin: i am a low learner. it will be a while. -- slow. i am watters and this is my world. >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." a lot has been written about the corruption of politicians. but really not enough has been said about how unbelievably boring in person. their main interest is themselves. that's all they can talk about. it's tedious.

narcissism always is. what is unexpected how many interesting people are running across the country. j.d. vance and kair lake and masters and kent and dr. oz. none of these people have been in politics before. they are link to voters and not just talking. all could win on november 8. if they do that's a huge problem for the democratic party. it's a disaster. it's one thing to elect more mitch mcconnells, tame republicans who know what the rules are. the first rule is you must lose. but what would happen if someone like blake masters or j.d. vance wound up in the u.s. senate? that would be disruptive. they don't care about partisan

affiliation. they might try to change the country are in the better. -- for the better. if you are benefiting from the current disaster that's scary. no one is as scary as kair lake running for governor of arizona. lake may be the most skillful communicator in politics. she spent 30 years in television news. when kair lake says the media are corrupt. she is not guessing. she lived in the middle of it. this is a deeply unsettling message for democrats to hear because it strikes at the heart of their power. without the media there is no chance democrats could get elected to office. not one ever. they have nothing to offer you. it's not like they are improving the country. no, they need the media. the media are all they have.

the liberal media are the key to the whole system. take them away and everything changes. it's essential that voters believe the news coverage they see and read is real and conveys facts and not north korea propaganda. kair lake knows better. they hate her for revealing the secret in public. kair lake has gotten the cruelest attacks from former colleagues in the media. they are trying to destroy her and make certain that no american voter hearsay what kair lake is saying. once people know it's all fake. this is not news. these lies are key to being

people wrecking the country in power, the game is over. it's done. they have to stop kair lake. here's a sample. >> kair lake was the picture the definition of a threat to our democracy. >> why the threat to democracy by way of arizona is more dire. >> kair lake ri lake made lies. >> kari lake is trump in heels. >> rising star of the right wing. >> [cheers and applause]. >> and proud spreader of lies. >> we have to be clear about just how radical kari lake and blake master are. they are nothing like john mccain.

>> she might win the governorship that would be dangerous in 2024. >> a threat to our society kari lake. >> tucker: kari lake is extreme people who support late term abortions and castration of children. she is hurting democracy as they promote voter fraud. it's not just aging lifestyle liberals on msnbc who are saying this. it's opinions too. members of the gop establishment in arizona and washington including former arizona governor brewer who was a conservative but they said liz cheney is a conservative too. she is on your side. okay! liz cheney came to the same conclusion with kari lake. >> the republican candidate in arizona for governor.

>> an election denier. who is dangerous. that's the kind of thing we can't see in our party. i think it's very important we are clear. >> are you going to campaign for hobbs the democrat in arizona? >> i will did everything to make sure kari lake is not elected. >> [cheers and applause]. >> tucker: so, does that include campaigning for democrats if that's what it takes? >> yes -- >> it does. >> tucker: i will do everything i can to make sure that kari lake is not elected the governor of arizona. a state i don't live in she says before people in texas who won't be governed by kari lake either. she is dangerous. why? because she is telling the truth about the media with authority because she knows.

that's the flavor of the media coverage kari lake received. there hasn't been an objective news story about kari lake in media. it's an attack because she is telling the truth. kari lake thrived anyway. she is leading the race in arizona. in the election is fair, we will win. how did she do that? few people can do that? how did kari lake do that? she knows what she believes and not getting positions from a teleprompter like joe biden or john fetterman. she doesn't have brain damage. but kari lake is not afraid of the media. not on a leash like everyone else. she knows who they are and is willing to say so. doesn't care what the "new york times" thinks. she lived in that world.

watch this clip from tuesday when a reporter calls kari lake an election denier. >> remember who the other election deniers were hillary clinton and all of the democrats. there are 150 examples of democrats denying election results. it's okay for democrats to question elections. but it's not okay for republicans? it's a crock of bs. every one ever you knows it. we have freedom of speech and we won't give it up to fake news propaganda. since 2000 people have questioned the legitimacy of elections. all we are asking is that in the future we don't have that have to happen anymore. >> tucker: you watch that clip and you connect the dots. the media that control our perception of reality, those

media organizations are tiny. they are tiny. this is a county of 340 million people. msnbc has like 11 people watching. they are powerful because the people in charge take them seriously. they act like they have morale legitimacy and they have none. this is full north korea propaganda. a defense against democracy and kari lake knows that and pulls off their masks and let's them know. they don't deserve our respect. here, for example, is kari lake's response in june when a cnn reporter asked her for an interview. >> hi. >> you don't have a mask on anymore? >> well, we are outside. >> we are 6 feet apart. >> i will do an interview as long as it airs on cnn plus.

does that still exist? i didn't think so because people don't like what you are peddling, which is propaganda. >> tucker: [laughing]. where is your mask. o oh, cnn failed because the people hate you. in the "new york times" did a piece on mitch mcconnell he would rush around his office worried about it. the "new york times" does a hit piece on kari lake every day and she laughs. it doesn't matter what the "new york times" thinks. they only have power because we treat them like they are real. they are fake. they are ghosts. turn on the lights and they go away. they don't exist. they are a fantasy that can only continue as long as we participate. in attacking the media, what kari lake is doing is standing

up to institutional power. for example, kari lake is not afraid to improve the lives of people in arizona by pushing back against the vaccine lunacy. an anti-vaxxer says msnbc. she doesn't care. she said arizona will never be forced to inject their children with a vaccine that clearly hurts people. >> this is an experimental shot. our children are not guinea pigs. we won't have my myocarditis in our young precious children. we will fight that. we won't have a forced shot by the cdc who has their tentacles in big pharma. >> tucker: imagine here on a debate stage. hobbs doesn't want to. she refused to debate kari lake.

okay. how does hobbs plan to win? this week, hobbs who is again the secretary of state of arizona in challenger of election -- charge of elections said voters received ballots with only the federal elections on it. assuming that all votes are counted, and we should never take that on faith. we have a right to have it proven to us that the election is fair. if it is fair. kari lake will win. she is leading in every poll. so you have to wonder if there is a person running for governor ever arizona with every person against her with institutional power and she will win anyway.

maybe she is doing something other republicans should learn about. we invited kari lake on the show to pass on advice to other candidates. you were so attacked and reviled that news channels didn't bother to talk to you because there was no chance you could win. now you are winning. what advice would you give to other candidates? >> fight back! here's the beautiful thing, tucker. people are not watching these news channels. i know it because i was privy to the ratings of the local news. they show up and 90% are liberal leftists and maybe 100% are not that smart. >> tucker: [laughing]. >> they think they are so powerful. i decided to start bringing a camera and a microphone and turning the camera on them. they throw you a question. it's loaded with a bunch of

garbage. there is an agenda in their question. they cut their part out so they don't look like a fool. we decided to put their part out on the internet and showing people what the media is up to. they have been lying and doing hit pieces on me. i have been on the campaign trail for 506 days. they have lied almost the entire time. the people are not buying it anymore. they are tuning into people like you. you have the ratings. cnn doesn't have the ratings anymore. if they are lying about me every night, imagine what else they are lying about with happenings in the world. it's sad and sick. >> tucker: it's terrifying. they have so much power because both parties take them seriously. you left a good job and spent your life in television. you decided to leave that and run for governor with no

political experience in your background. what an interesting decision. why did you do that? >> well, because i really recognize that the media was becoming all propaganda. i didn't want to lend my soul, spirit, brain and mind to any of that. the people when i resigned asked me to run for office. let's face it. the republican party has the ideas that work. we have the common sense ideas. the republicans have been running from that rather than showing people we have the good ideas. we don't have to allow the left and the liberals in the media to dictate what we are talking about. we have the better ideas. we are on the right side of things. >> tucker: they call you an extremist. i can't imagine a more moderate and sensible message than the one you are delivering. you got the message out through the filter. i think it's an amazing

achievement. kari lake, thanks for coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: one thing the american media don't cover is what is happening in other countries. maybe lessons for the rest of us. the prime minister of the u.k. resigned. piers morgan is from that country and joins us next to assess.

>> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: tim ryan is the liberal posing as a working man running for senator in ohio. he accused j.d. vance of peddling conspiracy theories. like the last election was unfair. let's look at congressman ryan's theories. joe simon did the work for us. this is from tim ryan's first congressional campaign. ryan is investigating whether the u.s. created aids to murder black people. >> they intentionally created the aids virus to target black

populations by agency of the u.s. government. will you support or demand a full congressional investigation into this matter? >> absolutely. >> that was quick. [laughing]. >> tucker: did you see him lick his lips. i can't tell him it's crazy. we are open to any possibility. we believe in ufos. if there is evidence we will follow-up. claims like that make people hate each other on racial grounds. a responsible person would say i don't think that's true. he didn't say that. he will say anything for power. they followed up with tim ryan's office have you gotten the probe underway? the genocide? they didn't get a response. this was not the brilliant idea that tim ryan had. when he ran for president, tim ryan pledged to free a million inmates from across the country.

let them out of prison. if he wins the election in november, he would try that in the u.s. senate. so, people are getting a little sick of politician its -- politician whose say anything like tim ryan. not just in this country. in the u.k. prime minister liz truss resigned, the shorest serving prime minister. piers morgan had her number early. we thought he could explain what is this all about. -- shortest. i know you were very mad at liz truss but why was she so bad? >> well, i thought from the start she was useless. she turned out to be indeed useless. this might sound familiar to you, tucker, about what is going on in america.

slow made grandiose pledges about fixing the economy and unifying the country and fix everything wrong with britain. in 3 weeks she launched a series of measures to slash taxes everywhere which is great if you can fund it. she could not. the markets reacted. the pound had a run against the dollar. interest rates rocketed. she didn't know what she was doing. she threw her chancellor under the bus and fired him and got the visit from the men in grey suits, the undertakers to say the game was up. 44 days, tucker. she's gone. there was a british prime minister the shortest 10 sure --

tenure in the history of my country. it's baring. -- embarrassing. there was really cost and pain to what she did. the one good thing is once we realized she was hopeless, we got rid of her quickly. you guys, you are stuck with old joe biden for years more. he is making the same promises about the economy and unifying the country. we have a flawed legal system in our country, but we are ruthless with bad leaders. it's an impressive feat. >> tucker: i could not agree more. we think of the british economy as ever enduring. one of the most stable in the world. it's not very stable? >> yes. it shows what you can happen if you play roulette with the markets. if you do stuff which doesn't

make sense. when she did her big budget after 3 weeks in office. i thought this doesn't make sense. she is not funding this. giving us tax cuts. where is the money coming from during a massive cost-of-living crisis. she said it's about growth. in fact, tens of billion dollars lost in a week. it was so bad the economy did a profile of her 10 days ago. they compared her to lettuce and said if you took out the queen's debt, she had lasted about the shelf life of a lot us. the daily star newspaper in britain did a live stream of actual lettuce 7 days ago. just to see what would happen. would it out last liz truss? today the lettuce was declared

the victor. the lettuce out lived liz truss. if that doesn't couple up what a ridiculous farce this has been, i don't know what does. it's been awful for britain. very embarrassing. shattered or reputation. now we are facing an extraordinary situation where boris johnson was fired from office 3 months ago by his own party turning on him is now one of the favorites to make a dramatic return and become prime minister again. that for many people will be the day that we decide to get on a plane and come to america permanently for the calmness of your presidential system. >> tucker: you are always welcome here. piers morgan. beaten by a salad, i love that. we have an update to a story tonight that the cdc doesn't want you to talk about.

the agency voted to add the covid vaccination to the childhood vaccine schedule even though it's not justified but will boost the stock prices of pharma companies. details ahead.

>> tucker: a story not getting enough attention. the cdc voted unanimously to add the covid shot to childhood vaccine schedules. some wore masks even though they were on a zoom call. this decision will harm children. no question about it. many states pegged their vaccine requirements to the cdc schedule. that means children will be forced to get this vaccination which is dangerous to get an education in this country. the cdc denied our reporting on

that. they said it's not true, but it's absolutely true. officials in several states include florida, texas and kansas are not going along with this. this doctor joins us to assess what is going on. thank you very much. people who want children to receive the vaccines can give their children this vaccine. why would the cdc put this on their schedule? >> you're absolutely right. profit. there is no good reason to have a vaccine that can't stop transition disease on this schedule vaccination. i have worked the front lines and taken care of thousands of covid patients the past 2.5 years. many were children and none i had to hospitalize. today the cdc votes to put covid

19 on the vaccination schedule up against the pollio vaccine or the measles vaccine or up against the hepatitis vaccine. they want to add covid 19 for children. will that reduce a sniffle? 86% of children have natural immunity. a study out of the university of indiana found that immunity in children is stronger and lasts longer for protection than compared to adults. we need to keep that in mind. they want to put this vaccine on the schedule that shows no benefit. no evidence that shows it's a benefit and this vote was irresponsible and illogical.

>> tucker: on some level they are discrediting all vaccines like the poleio vaccine. people wearing masks on zoom calls are going to scare americans away from all vaccines? >> yes, we need to stop with the fear mongering. we are no longer in a covid emergency. today i only had 3 cases that were positive. everyone's symptoms were mild. get back to the basics. we are putting guidelines on the lowest risk population our children. they already suffered enough. we need to focus up on their grades and depression and addiction. we're only making it worse. only one-third of children are vaccinated. are you going to keep them out of school?

i hope and pray that each state realizes it's important to make the right decisions had when drawing the line. >> tucker: thank you very much. school boards are pumping a lot of money into promoting race hate into the class rooms. education is neglected. a lot of schools don't make basic standards. in north carolina one pastor led the school board know how he feels about this. >> 78% of third through 8th grade black students are not proficient in math in wake count we. we are wasting taxpayer dollars that is not benefiting those who need it the most. as we talk about inclusion and making sure that the trans-student feels comfortable and the queer student feels comfortable, what does that have

to do with reading, writing and math? we are teaching culture marxism and grooming children to be the next pervert, we are damaging our kids in this public school system. it needs to stop! >> tucker: that is john. he is a pastor. and a father. he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. it's striking to hear someone point out that the point of schools is to education children and they are not doing it. why is it left to you to say that? >> well, it's a shame i have to say abit, but i will say it as e father of 3 beautiful black children and a youth pastor. i speak up for children of all colors and creased. -- creeds. there is a new god in the land

with inclusion. this god forces to you bow to it. if you don't support this god they label you as a homo-phobe or a bigot or a white supremacist. in the public school system this must end. i will go to every school board meeting in this country to speak up for children who are being indoctrinated. wake county as gone woke. approaching this upcoming election we need people in office who are not trying to groom our children into critical race theory and all of these woke things. but we need to get back to reading, writing and arimath. >> tucker: this is a tragedy to watch. why are you different? >> i read the bible. from genesis to revelation, we

have a clear viewpoint on what god expects of pastors. the modern-day pastor is more like a wimp and less like a watch man. the bible said that the blood will be on the hands of the watch man or the pastor or the preacher if they fail to expose the truth of what is going on. that's why i wrote my new book, called erase. i am doing a national book tour 2023 and i will expose the left and what they are doing to destroy our black community through critical race theory and abortion. >> tucker: thank you very much for joining us tonight. we have a bear alert after the

break. not a lot of people fight off a bear and live to tell the story. a college wrestler did and saved his friends life. he will join us next.
