addition. -- addiction. what is the answer? >> don't be sucked into these trends. look at the science of beauty and know what is isn't going to be good looking. >> rachel: that's all for tonight. don't miss the all-american new year's show. i will be in nashville with my co hosts. >> ♪ ♪ >> good evening. welcome to a special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." george santos is acueded about lying his biography. he claimed he was jewish but now

says he only gameday to be jew-ish. he will join us in a moment.cla jew-ish. he will join us in a moment. and a first tiktok interview ever. while we are enjoying this long credit weekend the biden administration is working to ba bauer -- bury information about the collapse of our social media. the total number of illegal immigrants was more than 230,000 in the month of november alone. this is by far the largest number of migrants in the month of november in the history of this country. last november, there were less than one 75,000 illegal immigrants encountered at the border. these are just the people that

are our border patrol intercepted. more snuck in undetected. these numbers will get even worse if title 42 ends. title 42 is the policy that allows the feds to keep migrants out of the country based on public health concerns. the biden administration is doing everything to end title 42 over the objection of republican states. today the supreme court kept title 42 in place for the time being. in anticipation of this policy ending, migrants have already begun flooding the border. >> even with the frigid temperatures this holiday weekend the flow of people to the border is not slowing down. from friday to sunday there were more than 16,000 encounters. 14,000 were released.

2100 were expelled under title 42. while title 42 was set to expire last week the supreme court announced a hold until it hears the case. the policy remains in place for now. that left thousands ever migrants confused and border patrol agents frustrateed. >> on your screen you are seeing a massive migrant tent in west texas. it's bigger than a football field -- the plan according to texas officials is to house migrants there once title 42 ends and this surge begins. this is a massive humanitarian crisis with illegal immigrants crossing the freezing waters to enter this country. there are not adequate social services or housing to handle all of them. we will begin tonight in texas want thousands of migrants have

been sleeping in el paso's airport. bill is in eagle pass, texas. >> the beeping you hear are the mexican authorities trying to get the migrants to stop going into the water. some jumped in with small children and that watergate is freezing. -- water is freezing right now. they walked on to a local golf course and turned themselves into the border patrol. they are equivalent to the population size of the city of baltimore. several hundred thousands were released into the u.s. >> over the weekend you might have seen this video from town hall share a glimpse of the crisis in el paso, texas.

>> [speaking spanish]. >> [crying]. >> julio is a senior writer with town hall.com. he joins us now. thanks for sharing that powerful and disturbing footage. it looks like a lot of streets and communities across the country already with homeless americans. >> you're absolutely right. that's what stood out to me the most. i have been covering this crisis since it began last year. i have never seen anything like this. usually eagle pass during the summer and spring, you would see groups of 10 or 20 people spread across the town. in el paso, just because there

are so many people choosing that area to go into the united states, they don't have the capacity. we are not talking a small town like del rio. they have over 600,000 people but they are overwhelmed. you have the biden administration saying that this is a humane way of doing immigration when it is not. that was during one of the warmer days. it's gotten much colder during the day and at night. we are talking about small children and older people. it's a lie to say what is happening with title 42 still in place is humane in any way. >> that's the argument you hear: why don't you have compassion per illegal immigrants? this is not a compassionate course of action. the inaction from the biden

administration. borders controlled by cartels trafficking in people and the limited resources for americans who are struggling. the flood of illegal immigrants are stressing social services. where do these people go from here? >> it depends. a lot of people i spoke to they wanted to go to miami, chicago, dallas, houston. keep in mind. this is niot humane just for th migrants but also for the people who work at the border. we had 14 suicides within customs and border protection in year along. the highest number since 2009. it's not humane for the migrants or the people who work at the border. >> thanks for bringing that up. our border patrol agents don't get that kind of attention.

thanks for their service. it's not humane for our communities. thanks so much for your reporting. the biden administration is not worried at all about the crisis at the southern border. i don't think they are paying attention to it at all. this is proved by the fact that joe biden is heading to st. croix in the u.s. virgin islands for sun, rest, and relaxation. gangs and human traffickers have free run of the border. they control it. they are profiting fuelling their criminal enterprise. they are not only taking over the texas border. arizona is also in this crisis and cross harris. this month alone customs officials in the state of arizona seized 2 million fentanyl pills. last month that same port of entry seized more than 3 million fentanyl pills.

that's just what they were able to detect. the full extent of the drug trafficking and human trafficking and the consequences on our country through our border in arizona is impossible to measure. our government democrats and republicans have failed to secure our borders. either because they don't care about the american people our or country. or they are totally incompetent. mexican is not doing anything to secure its borders. they are controlled by the cartels. they are winning in all of this. the result is that like texas, arizona is experiencing an unprecedented wave of illegal migration. the impact doesn't stop at our border states. they are just way stations for the surge of illegal immigration impacting every state across the

country. the daily caller was at the huma border just before christmas. here is disturbing footage what have he saw. >> approaching 4 in the morning in huma, arizona. a massive line ever migrants from russia, peru, brazil, columbia. cuba. this is one of the more sophisticated human smuggling operations. secretary mayorkas says the border is close. these massive lines show different. >> a woman saw more than 400 migrants cross into huma this morning. many are from cuba. one man told us he took an uber from tijuana to this drop off

point and was told the border is open. human smugglers received that message. many young people are being brought to the border by human smugglers. >> the human smugglers. they are trying to block us from filming them. he was calling me out yesterday for filming him yesterday am he is bringing another big group. he is using that strobe to block me from getting his face. he is taking money payments right now. >> officials in arizona are not getting any help in the federal government to deter this. the biden administration pressured arizona to stop using shipping containers they put up as makeshift barriers to keep illegal immigrants out.

the governor elect hobbs vowed to stop using these containers. we will speak to the sheriff about the fight over those shipping containers. first jorge who shot the shootage from arizona we just showed you. you are exposing the lie that the biden administration is telling us about how the borders are secure and closed. what is happening on the ground? >> yuma, arizona, what makes it interesting around 2 in the morning on the mexican side you will see a massive wave of vehicle traffic. you will see human smugglers guide migrants from all over the world -- from russia, afghanistan, brazil, and cuba. smuggled in the middle of the night. hundreds overwhelming the border

patrol officials. we got the smugglers on camera. walking on american soil and taking payments as they continue to smuggle hundreds. after we caught him on camera he could not care less. he continued to bring groups. overwhelms the border patrol officials. it was 6 in the morning. i stared at a group of 300 migrants with no border patrol to process them. secretary mayorkas says the border is secured. it is not. it's a different story on the ground. >> thanks for showing people what is happening. if you watch the mainstream media and listen to the biden administration and mayorkas they are lying to us. you have shown us who is in control at the border. those who are profiting the most.

cartels and human traffickers. thank you very much. the biden administration ordered arizona to stop using these large shipping containers they put up to keep the illegal immigrants out. governor elect hobbs said they will stop using these containers. this is a sheriff from arizona joining to us to share what is really happening with these containers. you are in front of these containers. it has become a point of conflict. you are trying to secure the border and stepping up with the federal government failed. now the federal government said you are not allowed to do that. >> that's correct. governor stepped up to protect arizona.

i commend him for that. president biden the doj sued arizona for trying to protect the citizens of this state. this open border by design by president biden placed my citizens in my county at risk. since january of this year, we arrested close to 1500 people booked in my county jail for state related border crime. over five hundred victims of federal crimes. my 38 years in law enforcement this is the worst i have ever seen it. >> it's hard to imagine. what resource do you have if you are trying to do your job. you and your team whale the federal government is interfering in your ability to

keep your community safe? >> well, the best part of be a sheriff, we are elected by the people. i work for the people of this county. to keep them safe, i won't give up my oath of office. i will support the rule of law here. i ask and welcome the partnership with president biden and the governors to continue to do the job for america. that's the ogletrees of office. -- oath of office. we have to protect our country. >> thank you very much for your leadership and encouraging republicans and democrats to step up and do their job as you try to do yours. >> happy new year. >> you too. republican representative elect

george santos is accused of falsifying his resume. he will join us. the woman behind the popular account of tiktok will reveal her identity in an exclusive conversation with tucker in a moment.

>> ♪ ♪ >> the twitter account on tiktok gained a huge following doing something simply. holds up a mirror to the extreme left. liz at tiktok exposes these people. >> there is no such thing as a boy or a girl. i can prove it. who is usually taller? boys? okay usually boys are taller but not always. everything you can think of that makes a boy or a makes a girl is usually but not always. some are not usually.

where does that leave you? free. you get to like what you like. you get to be who you are. maybe you are even like me and not a boy or a girl. >> liz of tiktok has been an anonymous account until now. she revealed her identity to tucker. here is her conversation from a new episodes of tucker carlson today. >> you are revealing your identity. >> most twitter accounts are anonymous. until elon change that, most

twitter accounts were anonymous. when my account started growing, i realized the hatred that the left had. and their violent nature. i was going to remain anonymous as my account was growing. i have until now -- well, my name and location were shared. my photo was never shared. i have not done any in-person events. i am doing that now because i feel like over the past few months i have done so muchism helped educate people. -- i helped create legislation to tackle some of these issues. i think i have done all i can. i am ready for the next step.

i get people asking me all the time, mom groups, can you come help us? i get invitations to help people understand how to expose the left and fight it. being anonymous was -- i was restrained from doing all of those things. i am ready to do that. i think i will be a lot more effective when i am not so anonymous anymore. i am excited. i already have a couple of speaking engagements planned. >> good. >> and hopefully there will be more. i want to do all i can. and help people to fight this. >> i am glad are. it's an act of bravery. you have had a remarkable effect. this is the most interesting part about you. you have not editorialized very much. what you have done is bring to

light, to publicize what they are saying in public. that's your crime. >> exactly. they don't want it to be shown, though. they want their content out there but they don't want us to see it. it doesn't add up. >> no, it doesn't. they have no valid complaint against you. you are not violating privacy. you are posting what they put on tiktok. >> the crime is noticing what they are doing. >> you have done an amazing th thing. i will describe you as being in journalism. i think you are. >> i think i am too. >> you had a real effect bringing this to light. how did you wind up doing this? >> i went to harvard and yale.

those institutions now are all poisoned. it started during covid. i was noticing all of the content published on tiktok. i was like this is crazy! >> you are not in a related field? >> no. >> you are not doing anything related to journalism? >> no. >> were you political? >> no. >> really? >> i was not. >> covid was like the other day. a couple of years ago. >> yes, 2 years ago. my account started 2 years ago. >> incredible you have this effect this quickly. you are not super political. not watching speeches on c-span? >> no. >> and you are just a normal person? >> yes and then covid happened. for a lot of people it woke

people up. it was like an awakening. you can stay not interested in what is going on in the government or you can choose to get involved. i think covid drew people in because of all of the insanity that was going on. that was imposed on us. our rights were violated. that was really a turning point for me to get involved and be interested. covid is when tiktok started to become big. everyone was stuck at home looking for entertainment. they stumbled on tiktok. we saw all of those videos of nurses dancing in hospitals during the pandemic. i was like tiktok was getting really big. are the me see what this tiktok thing is all about.

i stumbled upon on this whole platform with all of the stuff. everyone has seen some of the videos. there is so much more. i need to desseminate this. this is so bizarre -- and dangerous. i need many people to see this as possible. >> in large part there was a lot of adults bragging about sexu alizing children? >> yes, a lot. >> what an interesting conversation. i hope she inspires others to step out and speak the truth. you can stream that on fox

>> washington created a culture where it's acceptable to lie to further your own interest. try not to get caught. i served in congress for 8 years. even when politicians get caught, people shrug their shoulders and move on. no consequences. dick bloomingthal lied about his military service. the american people don't trust politicians. they have no faith that those in washington are working for the people when they are clearly

working for themselves. there are new accusations that george santos just elected to represent new york in congress in the past election has been lying about his own past. he admits to some of these depositions. -- deceptions. he embellished his resume by saying he graduated from a college when he didn't and he never worked for citi-group. he once called himself a proud jew. now he says i am catholic. i learned my maternal family had a jewish background, i said i was jew-ish. there are other accusations. now we will hear directly from santos himself in his first tv interview since these accusations surfaced. george santos joins us now.

congress-elect thanks for joining us today. what did the word integrity mean to you? >> well, thanks for having me. integrity is very important. like i said to the "new york post" -- >> what does it mean? the meaning of the word matters in practice. >> of course. it means to carry yourself in an honorable way. i made a mistake. i think humans are flawed and we all make mistakes. we can look at ourselves in the mirror and admit that. i have to admit this on national television and i have the courage to do so. to move past this and be an effective member of congress i

have to face my mistakes. i am not a fraud or a fake. i didn't materialize from thinaire. i worked damn hard to work where i got. life didn't start off easy -- i come from abject poverty. i made some mistakes. i own up to them. now i want to get past this so i can deliver for the american people. >> the thing is integrity means carrying yourself with honor. it means telling the truth. if i were one of those in new york's third district right now, now that the election is over and finding out all of these lies, not just one little lie. these are blatant lies. do you have no shame? people you are asking to trust to you be their voice for them,

their families and kids in washington? >> i can say the same thing about the democrats and the party. joe biden lied to the american people for 40 years. he is the president of the united states. democrats support him. do they have no shame? >> this is not about the democratic party. this is about your relationship with the people who entrusted to you fight for them. one question that hits home to a lot of people is: are you jewish? we have a letter your campaign sent out which read as follows. as a proud american jew i have been to israel numerous times for education, leisure and business trips. you said you are a proud american jew. how do you explain that? >> my heritage is jewish. i was raised a practicing

catholic. i always joked with friends in circles and in the campaign i said say i am jew-ish. remember i was raised catholic. everybody wants to knit pick at me. i am not a facade. i have a career i worked real hard to achieve. i will deliver from my experience. i remain committed to deliver results for the american people. i campaigned on inflation, crime and education. that's what the people of the third congressional district heard me. now i have to deliver on the results. >> you are right. >> i look forward to serving my district. >> [overlapping talking]. >> the results that people are looking for are called into question when you tell blatant lies. this is one of the biggest

concerns. you don't seem to take this seriously. you apologized but a lie is not an embellishment on a resume. you said you worked at these places and they had no record of that. these are blatant lies. how can the american people believe anything you say on the 34 of the house of representatives fighting for them? -- the floor. >> look, i agree with what you are saying. we can debate my resume and how i worked with firms. >> is it debatable? >> [overlapping talking]. >> no, it's not false. i can explain to you what you

can do in private equity limiting service -- serving limiting patterson. partners. if you want to have that discussion i can explain that to you. >> this is not about settling scores. you just highlighted my concern and the concern people at home have. this discussion will go above the heads of the american people b , insulting their intelligence. >> that's not what i am saying. >> [overlapping talking]. >> you can't explain it in a way your constituents would understand. >> if you give me the time i can explain it for you. when investors are looking for

capital, i am doing due diligence on what they are looking for. we worked along side them to help place this capital. i worked with these firms and many other firms when i was the vice-president of investors. this is not a made up narrative. nobody wants to talk about it. everybody wants to call me a liar. >> we have given you a lot of time. the time that is owed is to the people of new york's third. it's hard to imagine how they could trust your explanations when you are not willing to admit the depth of your deception to them. >> it's good to step away from all of the cynicism of washington politics. up next i will share my message

of reflection heading into the new year about what is the most important in life.

i was hit by a car and needed help. i called the barnes firm. that was the best call i could've made. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to know how much their accident case is let our injury attorneys know he how much their accident cget the best result possible.

>> ♪ ♪ >> as christmas and hanukkah celebrations come to a close, i am sure you agree it's been nice to take a break from the politics and the noise and the frustration and the insanity that surrounded us this past year. looking ahead to the new year, we are reminded of the gravity of the challenges we faced. we talked about some tonight. it's easy to feel hopeless thinking about that. what is important to know there is hope. as long as god exists his essence is love. there is hope. since god is eternal and will always exist, there will always be hope. god's love is the light between each of our hearts. it's the answer to how we as a people, all children of god no matter our background or politics, can come together and

heal our divides. martin luther king said darkness did not darkness. only light can do that. hate can't drive out hate. only love can do that. love is the most powerful thing. love, respect and compassion for one another. it's a powerful force that motivates us to take action and stand up for what is right and fight for our freedom and those we love. it motivates my brothers and sisters in uniform to fight for what is right and the humility to forgive those who wronged us. overcome our differences and move forward. life is short.

this new year is an opportune time to reflect on this truth. our purpose in life and where we can find true happiness and how we make the most every day. i was happiest when i served god and helping my community. when i was chasing a selfish goal i felt wantness. -- emptiness. we find happiness putting service above self. one example is sammarit an's purse. during a flood they reached out to me. deployed an airplane full of needed supplies and volunteers from across the country who got to work.

mucking mud and cooking food and tearing out drywall and helping this devastated community to rebuild. the people of hawaii will never forget their generosity. a friend of mine served for 16 years in the u.s. army and dedicated his life to service and continues to serve as vice-president of operations for sam samaritan's purse. one of the thing that struck me with all of those volunteers who came out to help the people of this small community was how large their hearts were and how dedicated and passionate they were to serve. you get the privilege of working with these people all the time. >> merry christmas and it's great to can be with you. god gives us the best people.

our staff that deploys, people ask where do you find these people? i think the answer is we don't. god does. these are people that have a passion for those suffering around the world. we get our name from the story of the good samaritan. how do you have eternal life? jesus answered that question to a lawyer. they passed by a man beaten in the ditch. it was the men's enemy that stopped by and bandaged him. he met the immediate needs. that's what we do. water and transportation. a debt had to be paid. that debt is the blood of jesus christ. our volunteers believe in this mission and the purpose of

sharing the gospel of jesus christ. we go to love our neighbor in a time of need. >> what a beautiful message, edward. we are grateful for the work you do. you are continuing this work in places like louisiana and florida and places stricken with disaster. the headlines are not paying attention to you anymore, your and your volunteers are still there for them. thank you for all you do. >> merry christmas. great seeing you. >> you too. merry christmas. more news coming up next.
