would you consider doing a show with a british accent? you want to see that for a whole hour. i think we can do better than that. maybe spanglish. tucker carlson is up next. remember one thing i'm waters and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. you remember when russia invaded ukraine in february. at that time our leaders told us this wasn't a far away conflict in europe this. was our war. no military should be allowed to invade a sovereign nation. the invasion of ukraine could not stand, it was a matter of

first principals. it was a world historic battle we were obligated to join. putin was pure evil. self denying, brave, honest. very hand some. zelensky was fighting for the same ideals our country was founded on. a number of news outlets compared him to george washington. they told us with one voice month after month, no disagreement allowed. not surprisingly it worked. americans fell hard for president s zelensky. they all did. even areas that voted against joe biden you saw ukrainian flags from mail boxes. for many it was like world war ii begin. the sake of democracy at home. a year later it's harder and harder to believe any of this. whatever you think about the war on ukraine it's clear that

zelensky has no interest in freedom and democracy. he's far closer to lennon than george washington. he's a dictator. a dangerous authoritarian using a hundred billion in u.s. tax dollars to elect a one-party police state in ukraine. over the past year zelensky has banned opposition parties, shut down public media by force, arrested political opponents and sent soldiers into churches. raided mon tear he's across ukraine, even a convent full of nuns. arrested a priest for no reason whatsoever, in clear violation of the ukrainian law. the ukrainians have nothing to say but pushing to send him more tax dollars. zelensky is more bolder, why not. last week he announced his plan

to ban an entire church. he said this out loud. watch this. >> we have to create such conditions when any people dependent on the country aggressor won't be able to manipulate ukrainians and weaken ukraine within. first the national security and defense council instructed the government to submit to draft law making it impossible for religious organizations with the russian -- to operate in the ukraine. >> a major country doesn't ban a religion. zelensky is doing that. the cabinet is devising ways to punish christians for practicing their banned an ancient religio.

the ukrainian oath orthodox chus more than a thousand years old and zelensky has decided to ban it. here is the response of a bishop to the news. >> tucker: you're not allowed to send soldiers into churches. you're not allowed to arrest dozens of priests for not bouging before you. you're not allowed to ban religions. most of the media have ignored this. some make excuses, he has to do

this because of a war. there is no justification whatsoever. the ukrainian orthodox church has nothing to do with russia. there is no justification for stkeft roying and banning this church. yet zelensky many celebrity backers in the west say nothing about it. they should know better. in may the great george w. bush met with zelensky on a zoom call and described him the winston churchill of our time. where is george w. bush on this question? now his friend has banned a former christianity in the country. well george w. bush is silent as well. as well as christian members of congress. they back him. >> to the ukrainian people, you can expect the congress to, to

be there with you in terms of supporting your efforts to maintain your freedom. >> anything we can do to be helpful for them fighting for their freedom. >> i think the twenty first century turns. >> we will continue to defend military equipment for ukraine to defend their territory and freedom. >> the united states will maintain unwavering support. >> let's get the job done to save lives in ukraine. >> the free world had no choice. the american people defend freedom around the world. >> tucker: aoefrb single person you just watched have campaigned, many make a habit of campaigning, lindsey graham in churches in the united states. will a single christian leader say anything about this? it's the cost of freedom.

really. the reality is ukrainians can not listen to media out hr-ts criticizing sell in skaoefplt they're banned. they condition play music from russian singers. this is not in taliban this is the democracy of ukraine. they can't vote for a opposition party because they're all shut down. now churches raided and priests arrested. the fact this is calderon freedom tells you a lot of what they're planning here. why would you defend this? you approve of it. ukraine defense ministry has stopped saying this is about freedom. they're happy to be getting paid and crushing any opposition in their country. that's why ukraine is using your tax dollars to choreograph dance videos for you. like the covid nurses. here is one of them. ♪ ♪

> >> tucker: it's just grotesque modern psyop. -- they're just having fun. they're beating their real enemies always domestic. time magazine is onboard with this. they informed their four remaining leaders that zelensky is the person of the year. and the chorus is in full scream. saying they believe zelensky is a lot like the pope. >> zelensky is being fired by the post fund mental impulses. to defend, articulate, and to fight back. i think it's almost important to

remember he's a performer. that's where he started. john paul ii was a performer. ronald reagan was a performer. winston churchill understood the means of the media of his time. he understood the power of radio. tpraeurpbg linn roosevelt understood radio. it's not coincidental that great leaders understand. > >> tucker: grade leaders . so if they defend a man shutting down opposition media, arrest political opponents, arrest priests, send the army into monasteries and ban a religion. if they defend that and call it liberty they will defend anything. we are happy to have glen with us tonight, an independent journalist. glen, it's not what zelensky is doing, i don't brood on it a,

we're paying for it. b, our leaders are defending it. i think every american should be upset about that. >> i think in general americans should be skeptical when the u.s. government says we will fight in wars on the other side of the world. we're sending tens of billions of dollars to spread democracy. the u.s. government doesn't care about spreading democracy. many closest allies are the most largest regimes like saudi arabia. it's about serving u.s. interests. if you want to believe the u.s. government goes to war to spread democracy, aou rain is not the place for you. you mentioned zelensky is in war and has to carve liberty. go back to a year before russia invaded. you can find articles where he shut down opposition television stations. he has shut down opposition parties. every hallmark of what a tyrant,

not a democrat does, is shaping the zelensky government. that was true well before russia invaded. >> tucker: i wonder wo* two things. one, how can republicans on the hill continue to defend this? and b, what is it really about? i think you're right. our foreign policy is about defending our interests. i think it should be actually. i don't see critical interests at stake here. what is this about? >> right. i think the first point is if the u.s. government was honest they should be they would get rid of this script about defending democracy. that's a fairy tale getting pherpz to feel better about the fact of being involved in many countries across the world. the only reason is to do it for vital u.s. interests. the line in washington for decades was the the u.s. has no

view on ukraine. why did that change? we saw an opportunity to trap russia inside ukraine all based on the view russia is our enemy. something that only democrats should believe. they think russia is to blame for the 2016 election and hillary's victory. what americans does this benefit besides arms manufacturers. >> tucker: that's a good question. i haven't quite unraveled if. unraveled it.it seems clear than administration bated this. telling zelensky to join nato. they wanted this invasion, that's my view. it's very obvious. you thurpg this is all about preparing for a war with russia? >> if you thinker russia is a grave enemy of the united states then it makes sense to lure them into a war they can't win. we were lured into one with

afghanistan for twenty years. it depletes the enemy. why should russia be seen as our enemy? obama and trump said there is no reason to see russia that way. it has has one fifteenth of our military budget. we could be using this money at home to benefit the lives of american citizens. russia is not doing newing to the united states. unless you're a crazy are sis tense person and believe they're the reason donald trump won. >> tucker: they have hijacked the best instincts of americans, compassion, and used that against them. thank you, glen. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: we have news on sandy look.

hey, trace. >> when they say they will extend the matter that's the equivalent of an indict ment. the committee won't reveal what the violation is. it's worth noting the complaint was filed against caroline mahony. mahony and cortez attended the metropolitan muse museum gala. aoc wore a desirer gown with the words "tax the rich" painted on. the gown is worth a small for tune. invitations are controlled by a for profit company. aocs people say the congress women has always taken ethics incredibly serious. they have a point. you can tell cortez was emotionally and physically moved

by an out cry in queens last year. >> aoc has got to go. aoc has got to go. aoc has got to go. >> alright, alright. listen, listen, listen. okay. >> the ethics committee likely won't take up the matter until sometime in the new year. this could lead to her being reprimanded and she could respond. maybe like this. >> alright listen, listen. okay. >> we hope it doesn't come to that. tucker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, great to see you tonight. you should watch trace gallagher at mid neat eastern on fox news midnight. one of the reasons you never heard a bad word about sam bankman. bankmanfreed is because he paid

off media outlets. one is a website ran by a character for the new york times. the question is when will they return the money? when will semifor return the money. and some are banning kirk cameron from reading his book for children because it's faith based. turns out that is not allowed. maybe he should have a drag show for kindergartners. we will talk to him and suggest that, after the break.

>> tucker: if you haven't heard of semifor. that's not surprising. few little offing americans have heard of semi. ifor other than richpeople who . $257 million were raised by six investors. two of the six, the biggest ones have the same last name. bankmanfreed as? sam and his brother. they paid off media outlet's for phone-in coverage. what he got. now that sam has been exposed as

a billion dollar scam artist this is a problem for ben smith and semafor. you're not allowed to keep the proceeds of other peoples crimes. we reached out to smith to see who they would return the monies. ben smith could do the right thing and help with the money he got from a scam artist. will he do that? of course not. semafor pointed us to a statement saying they're not returning a dollar until the biden administration makes them. when will that be? come on. sam bankmanfreed was the second biggest donor to the democratic party. in the end we hear the justice department is looking into him. he will get away with it, ben smith will get away with it,

semafor will get away with it. it's not an appealing website and likely won't be around too long. our friend in detroit went down to the certain board tore see what is happening. he shot remarkable video in the process. he shot this in mexico showing how easy it is for illegals to enter the united states with no intervention from our national guard. watch this. >> a official tries to stop us. he has no power. >> he says that is not correct. that is true. nothing is correct here. about two thousand migrants cross in this sector every day of every week. now with the expiration of title

forty two, the covid policy of returning a sigh lem seekers to mexico will expire. hundreds of thousands more expected to flood the banks. asylum seekers like elvis only needs to touch american toil. before he can gather his bearings here the texas national guard are waiting for him to shuttle him to his new life. >> tucker: so you have to wonder why has nob done what charlie has done like he just did. he is host of the no bs news hour. thank you for coming on and doing this. i haven't seen anyone do this before. why do you think that is? >> i don't know, man. that's why i went down this. the way i look at the coverage it's the eggheads and the meat heads. very with no idea really what it's living or what the answer

might be. you know what i mean. >> tucker: what was your assessment of it? >> it's a damn mess. like on the left, they're saying you know war torn. these are asylum speakers. they're just broke people looking for a better life. that's the truth. on the other hand the right build the wall. that's dumb. listen to me people. i don't know where tuck letter post it. find the whole story. if you touch american soil you get asylum. so when the wall is twenty feet away or a quarter mile in it doesn't matter. it won't stop anything. let's do a little experiment. up here, i'm in a border town detroit with canada. say desantos you want to pack a bus full of migrants. tell them, please, don't lie tell them they are going to canada to get asylum. you know what will happen,

tucker? canada will turn them around. because we have a treaty with canada. wherever an asylum seeker first touches, that is where they apply for asylum. why don't we have this with mexico. this is what the pin heads in washington need to be doing. there is only one border state senator on the foreign relations committee, ted cruz. i don't know where the hell ted cruz is. >> tucker: you make a really smart point. my understanding is everyone come ago cross is not from mexico. these are people co coming from central america, africa or the middle east. was that your experience? >> a hundred percent. russians, romanians, per you'vians, haitians, ghana, you name it. they are coming. here is what is happening. when trump was in office he

negotiated the remain in mexico policy as the president is allowed to do. you seek asylum you remain in mexico until your court date. bide he's first day in office he said he's suspending it. they hear around the world amnesty. they're lining up in mexico. you know what they hear, amnesty. you talk about da ca people i don't have a problem with them they grew up here. he says amnesty the whole world floods in, dude. fourteen-year-old girls. i found a vaccination pill. she got a birth control implant in her arm a month ago. why because she's afraid to be raped and get pregnant there. is a better way to control the movement of people other than a damn bum rush.

i came into mexico twenty years ago with the s sina loa cartel. we didn't want to be apprehended. now it's different. everyone wants to be apprehended. i would do it too. a lot of good people, hungry people. the government must manage the fro of human beings that is acceptable to we the people and they're not doing a damn thing. >> tucker: it's amazing. bill is the only other person doing reporting like this. i'm thankful you. have charlie, thank you. >> thanks, man. post that thing somewhere, will you. >> tucker: sure we will. so there is a nation wide shortage of basic antibiotics. why? many are made in china. why is that? we have details after the break.

>> tucker: we hate to keeping bad fuse but there is a nation wide short am of basic antibiotics and supposedly tamaflu and others for chronic conditions. the fda is reporting 180 drug short aplgz. many require ingredients that come from china. it might be time to do something about that. >> tucker, good to be with you tonight. don't think the fda is actually doing anything. they're sitting limb ly by. the story begins and end in china tonight because of the lock downs, ridiculous lock downs cutting off the supply chain. according to u.s. census we get 95% of you mean ported ibuprofen from china. and most of our tylenol and

antibiotics. what has happened? they relieve lock downs and people are scrambling to the pharmacies trying to find tylenol and moe treupb. we won't get it. they're hoarding it there. panic buying because of the pill popping situation and the pharmaceutical culture around the world. here we are in the united states. in utah they report nobody can find liquid ibuprofen, like motrin. nighty five percent of the coming from china. i know what you think about pharmaceuticals. agree with you, tucker. we're a pill-popping culture. a parent goes to the pharmacy. can't get a tylenol. they rush the child to the emergency room unnecessarily. that is what you're talk ing about for a long time now. i think that's a huge part of the problem.

fear driven pills to assuage yourself you're doing something. look where this is coming from. supply chain problems from tkhaoeupb afplt china the same country that exports the influenza virus every year. exported covid to us. now we can't go to them for the pills we treat the common cold or the antibiotics we need. the problem starts and begins with china, tucker. >> tucker: can i ask you a quick question, doctor. how hard is it to make these in the united states? >> simple. we have the ability to do it you know why? it's generic and don't make a profit on it. drug manufactures don't feel they can do it. the government sits by. we should make every single one of the ingredients in the united states. it's calderon active farm suit al ingredients. we get them from china and india. we need to make it here. that's a great point.

>> tucker: great point. dr. mark seagull, great to zoo you tonight. the fbi has had hunter biden's lap top for more than three years. on that is information about crimes. hunter biden has not been charged by federal authorities or raided either. he didn't pray at an abortion clinic. basically everyone investigating the contents of the lap top are under investigation by the doj. we look into the biden's efforts to crush this story. here is part of it. >> tucker: nearly everyone involved in investigating hunter's business practices have been invested, indicted or raided. rudy guiliani had his home searched and computer seized by the fbi.

tthe fbi executed a search warrant at the home of victoria who worked with aou rainians to uncover more information. others who helped rudy guiliani investigate hunter biden were arrested on campaign finance chachachacharges. >> tucker: once again that documentary is calderon "biden inc" parts one and two are available on fox nation. you have to be concerned if your military becomes politicalized. that can't happen in a free country. someplace it's appears to be. just happened for real to a mother in new jersey.

she joins us next to share her story. plus public libraries refusing to allow kirk cameron to read his children's book, because it's too wholesome for a library. he joins us straight ahead.

after my car accident, wondnder whahatmy c cas. so i called the barnes firm. i'm rich barnes. youour cidedentase e woh than insurance offered? call the barnes firm now to find out. yoyou ght t beurprpris

call the barnes firm now when that car hit my motorcycle, yoyou ght t beurprpris insurance wasn't fair. so i called the barnes firm, it was the best call i could've made. call the barnes firm now, and find out what your case could be worth. ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million >> tucker: so a few days ago a mother in new jersey, angela redding, found out her child's element roo school was advertising something calderon pan sex aou alt. she thought it was much and complained about it on facebook. what happened next shouldn't happen in this country. we only know about it because of chaos in control that broke the story. in response to angela redding's post out of the blue an army officer calderon angela redding an extremist on facebook.

he then wrote on face book the quote. joint based leadership have security forces working with multiple state and law enforcement agencies to monitor the situation. what? so the military responded to a mom in a elementary school complain ing about the sexualization of her own child? that's warranted a military response under joe biden? apparently it did. shortly after the chief of the north hafpb over police department pressured redding to delete her facebook post. let that sink in. the police and military got involved because the mom wrote something on facebook they didn't liking. today it was confirmed to the show, they notified law enforcement about the exchange, common information sharing information among law enforcement agencies. wait a second, a military base is not a "law enforcement

agency" they are to defend us against foreign enemies not police facebook posts. this is mind boggling and we pray someone does something about it. angela joins us tonight. thank you for being brave enough to come this. were you surprised the military weighed in on your facebook post. >> i was more than surprised. i was scared. i pulled my kids from school the day i found out. it was mind boggling. when the u.s. military comes after you about raising concern on a public poster available for all to see. it's bind boggling. >> to be clear you were not threatening war, or nuclear weapons against the school, correct. >> actually my post was moderate. it said i didn't think my 7-year-old was, it was age appropriate. i said all people are deserving

of love and respect. my post was explicit about that. it still prompted this response. it's really scary in this country we can't have a right to speak and raise concerns about our public education system. > >> tucker: you live in an area with a lot of military families. your children's school has a lot of military families. you respect the military. almost all americans do. do you know they read your facebook posts. >> i did not. i want to be explicit. i believe our military personnel deserve the upmost love and respect. i'm the daughter of a veteran. i live in a community with military. these are phenomenal families. the school district is phenomenal. the teachers in our district are phenomenal. i think it a roll rouge, bad faced actor and we don't need to implicate the entire population. i did not think the military was monitoring mom's facebook posts.

no, i did not. >> tucker: no, you would hope commander schilling would be removed from his command tonight. we will see if he is. what was the roll of the police chief, can you tell us quickly? >> yes, i actually got a call from the admin of the facebook group this. is ridiculous to talk about this. this is a parent's group i posted on. i got a call from her saying the police chief contacted her saying my post should come down. she said what do you think. i said i don't want homeland security coming after me. take the post down. i don't want to deal with this. i agreed the post should come down. i contacted the police chief directly and reminded him of the first amendment. that we shouldn't utilize government resources in our positions to pressure individuals to take down facebook posts. i also shared with him the post i had seen. there was nothing wrong. it didn't violate any law or

facebook rule whatsoever. so, that is how that all happened. you know we're here today. >> tucker: i hope chief huff is relieved of his post immediately too. i haven't heard of this. i hope i don't again. thank you for telling us about it, angela redding. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: say you want to host a drag time story hour with seven-year-olds. you can use your public library about that but you can't read a book about god at a public library. the actor kirk cameron just learned that. when rhode island library said we're a friendly queer friendly library and our messaging does not align. kirk, skwroeupgz us. joins us tonight.kirk, thank yo.

this has been banned in line rare he's. how controversial is this? >> it teaches biblical wisdom through life with kind, joy, love, patience and self-control. i wanted to do a book reading at a public library. i was denied by over 50 who hosted drag queen story hours. one of the most outrageous was alameda county library. they said they didn't want the book teaching biblical values while at the same time they are hoeting a gender name-change clinic tomorrow. wow, if we're committed to diversity why am i excluded. why can't i use the facility to read my book. you're a library. >> tucker: yes. we began the show with ukrainian's president banning

christian religion. now we are at your story, banning your book. this seems to be fear of christianity. why do you think this is so scary? >> well, my understanding of history is that the family and the church are two great pillars of western civilization. those two things need to be removed and taken out of the way in order to fundamentally change the power structure and the moral value code of the nation. that is why parents are fighting back. tucker, hundreds of parents and librarians are now e-mailing us saying we want your book. we want to host our own brave bookstorey hour in our public library. here is my call to action. i want every parent and grandparent in america to get their favorite children storybook or a book of the bible. call the local public library

hosting a drag queen story hour and ask for a chance to read my book in the library. >> if they say no they're likely breaking the law and violating the constitution. they can contact bravebooks.com. we will give them free books and all they need to turn the denial into a revival in their community. >> tucker: i think the posture you're taking that is gentle, calm, brave and persistent. i can learn from. let outrage. more rational response. i think that really works. i hope you inspire other people to do the same. tell your story. don't be mad. be honest. thank you. >> thank you. i think you're right, tucker. two christians particularly we are often told no in the public square. we go home with our tail between our legs is it and waiting for the rapture. instead of getting on the

offense and say let's invest in our children and teach them the values we want them to learn. >> tucker: agree. the way you're doing it is the way to do it. kirk cameron, thanks. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: more news straight ahead.

>> tucker: we are out of time but before we go, along with ice cream and beethoven, "the washington post" has declared shark week is racist. "wax diversity." apparently not enough diversity among a host of shark week. we know a guy called mike who hosted shark week, mike rowe. he disagrees and he joins us tomorrow night. [laughs] we'll be back tomorrow night. 8:00 p.m. the show that's the sworn enemy of lying for bosnia's mongers and group think is of the night couldn't get greater, ladies and gentlemen.

for a 27 secondarily, here is sean hannity. >> sean: thank you. radio since 1987. that makes me very old. we will examine a great detail. mike and the article you are referring to. hard-hitting. wish me luck. welcome to "hannity." breaking news on multiple fronts, more revelations surrounding the deep state russia gate lawyer james baker and his firing at twitter. that story is only getting more disturbing. the great one mark levin is here to react. biden's irs are coming to make your life a living. we will explain in detail straight ahead. raphael warnock's win in georgia last night doesn't mean it's time to have a pity party or whine and complain. i started out in radio and i to the seven. ronald reagan was president. during the period of
