thank you for joining us tonight . tucker carlson is up next. ♪ >> good evening, everyone. although hot, and welcome to a special edition of tucker carlson tonight. i'm kelsey gabbert standing in for tucker. george santos was elected back in november to represent the third congressional district which includes parts of the north shore of long island in queens. during the campaign, santos mad numerous times about his biography that he now acknowledges we're false for example, he claimed that he

attended burke college in nyu, but either school has record of his attendance. he also lied about his work history as well as making several false claims about his personal life. he said he was in quote unquote proud to only to backtrack and say he was -ish. he claimed that his mother had died on 9/11. 9/11 clave my mother's life. but a few months later, on twitter, he wrote that his mother had died in 2016. spoke directly to try to better understand his side of the story . here is part of the conversation . my question is do you have no shame? do you have no shame in the people who are now you are asking to trust you to go and b their voice for them, their families and their kids in washington?

>> i can say the same thing about democrats, look at joe biden, he has been lying to the american people for 40 years, h is president of the united states. democrats support him, do they have no shame? i made this very clear. ally is not an embellishment on a resume, you said you worked o goldman sachs and citigroup, bu they have said we have no recor of this guy working for a sprayed usage of gone to and graduated from these universities, they say we've go a record. >> we can debate my resume and how we work was firm such as. >> is it debatable or is it jus falls? >> it's debatable. is not false at all, it's debatable. i can explain to you what you can do in private equity, in capital and show limited partners and partners, we can have the discussion that will g away above the merkin pupils ha

very. >> we have given you a lot of time i think, the time is owed to the people of new york third it's hard to imagine how they can possibly test their explanations when they're not even willing to admit the depth of your deception. >> after that interview, we heard from a lot of people on all ends of the political spectrum appeared there were some conservatives who were suggesting that santos lied hil in comparison to the lies told by top democrats about their ow personal lives birthday also suggested even if he is a liar, to hold onto as many seats as possible. on the liberal side, they show received praise from outlets of people that are normally attacking as. many are welcoming, the federal

and local investigations into george santos that have begun even though it's not quite yet clear what crime he may have committed. some of the architects of the russia collusion hoax like disgraced fbi agent were especially thrilled. in fact, now on social media an playing without any evidence that, he may be up upon a russian intelligence. i feel like most americans you care about the truth more than partisan politics. unfortunately there are too man politician and cable new shows who only care about raw partisa political calculations and that's why they are not willing to call out anyone from there own team. as a result, permanent washington is overrun with liar and opportunists that have no problem whatsoever deceiving th american people just to further their own interests. in our interview, george santos

invoked wise by democrats is an excuse for his own lies. it's inexcusable. at the same time, it is also true that many of the same democrats that are gleeful abou santos being held accountable publicly for his lies are definitely silent about joe biden and his deceptions about his own biography. there are too many to count, bu here is just one. i had a great honor of being arrested with our u.s. ambassador. to guy got arrested trying to see him. he guy came back from south africa trying to seat nelson mandella and getting arrested for trying to see him on robin' island. >> joe biden didn't lie about being arrested as a civil right activist, he lied about having three undergraduate raised abou finishing in the top half of hi

he's played great speeches, and falsely claimed to have visited afghanistan to see a quote unquote heroic naval officer. he's not alone, we can forget the time hillary clinton claime to have landed in iraq under heavy sniper fire in 2008 at. >> in remember ending under sniper fire, it was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles and get t our base. when pictures emerge, she changed her story just to say she misspoke group this is one of the many lies she has told. the point is lying politicians are nothing new. droid santos lies are in its usable, but he is a small fish in a sea of sharks in washington . we have been deceiving us for a very long time and at great cos

and consequence to the american people, our security, and our freedom. every one of our leaders has taken an oath to support and defend the constitution of the nine states. there is no greater form of disrespect of democracy in the constitution and the american people then flying and attempting to deceive us. we have far too many people leading our nation's institutions in congress in the executive branch on the nationa security state in the mainstrea media and these big tip companies who actually believe it's acceptable to deceive us for they often justify these deceptions by saying is george santos did on tuesday, that the american people just can't handle the truth. or that they know what is best for us better than we do. when leaders use deception to manipulate us and get what they want, then we the people can't make informed decisions. that's not a functioning

democracy, that's a dictatorship . remember the deception from the media in your intelligence officials and big tech regardin the hunter biden laptop days before the 2020 election. they knew, this was a calculate decision, they knew if voters saw was on that laptop, we migh not vote for joe biden and a recent poll was confirmed this was true saying they lied, they misled us, they said this is likely russian misinformation and they took it a step further and censored anybody who tried to share it. this blatant deception directly undermined our election in our democracy. considerable wise that we were told by both democrat in republican administrations, and leaders and the pentagon for tw decades told us send more troops , send more money. those that led to the deaths of my brothers and sisters in

uniform and sent thousands more home injured, spending more tha $2 trillion taxpayer dollars to enrich the military industrial complex. president bush and his ministration lie to us about iraqi having come up with weapons of mass distraction to start a costly war that resulte in more than 4,431 american lives lost and arrives of isis. okay the fda and the cdc lied t us when they told us you got to take the vaccine in order to prevent us from getting or spreading covid. not true. tony fauci lied to us about the efficacy of class masks in surgical masks. light under arthur about dangerous gain of function research. there were more examples. he lied under oath on collectin

data on u.s. citizens. the fbi, the department of justice they lied and defended this deal dossier was credible kick starting the rushing collusion hoax by the fbi went on to use that very same dossie as well as other falsified information to obtain secret surveillance warrants to illegally spy on american citizens. these people have created a culture where lies and deceit aren't normalized, there acceptable, even justified in there own minds. the examples i've cited have expressed no remorse and there' been no accountability. the survival of our democracy depends on our ability, we the people ability to choose that lead that institutions in our society, like i said in congress , the executive branch as well as mainstream media, they must be led by people of integrity who are committed to

connecting serving the best interest of the american people and our country. jason whitlock gives the host o fearless, you have seen him before here on their show pair jason, thank you so much for joining us now. i saw you responded very quickl to that interview with george santos. how do you make of the fact tha washington is so quick to respond when it's politically convenient? on these bigger issues that really threaten our democracy, nowhere to be proud. gig i was proud of you for holding him accountable. i was disappointed, but i expected it is par for the course politicians do not believe they answer to a higher power.

this country was based on a fea and respect in our rights comin from a higher power, from the most high god and we just don't have that anymore. i was watching george santos an he doesn't feel like he answers to anybody and he certainly doesn't answer to the american people. i've lived long enough where there was a time where a man's word meant something very handshake, you make a promise you stand on. those times are long past. they certainly don't exist in politics so i would ask every man, woman, child, anybody listening, we don't have a political problem in america, w have a spiritual problem. our spiritual resolve has been broken and that is why everybod is comfortable lying, seizing power by any means necessary on both sides. there is no political savior. the republicans are going to

save this country in the democrats are going to save thi country. men who believe in god are only hope. god is the only thing that will save this country. we are in a total free-throw. the reason many of us were attracted to donald trump's because he wasn't a typical politician. he was flawed, but you could believe what he said even thoug he was a flawed man. was to these politicians are not . a lot of the american public thinks religious faith is optional in this country. i'm not telling everybody the f to believe what i believe with this country ran better in the culture respect he got an app i you're of god, they felt like they could answer to god. he wouldn't get on tv until the top of last he was telling them.

>> just that blatant disrespect and your points, such a powerfu and in point went about that erosion of the spiritual foundation of this country in the danger when you have politicians who think that they are god and that they are the ones in control. that lack of a moral cult compass that goes with that. thank you for those comments. gig i would like to add one las thing. people want to be on the right side of history and that is the wrong standard. you need to be on the right sid of god. history is written by whoever wins for john's george santos thinks he's going to win. it is just not true. you need to be on the right sight of god if you're going to save this country. joe biden is on vacation he jus had that massive spending bill flowing to the virgin islands a passenger jet so he could sign it into lauper of thousands of americans are trapped in airports tonight, but somehow

this particular jet took off with no problems. the 4,000 page $1.7 trillion spending bill is now law. chris bedford's executive edito at the comments in society, he joins us now to assess. a bit of a double standard. my first thought was why did he leave washington in the first place knowing that this signature was going to be neede eminently? could get why? why not send a private jet to bring him the ability assigned. why care at all about all the people stuck in airports, this entire bill is completely representative of how little he cares about american interest i the american people. if you are a republican for example, and decided to stay home no ring the november election, what better vindication for do you have for this decision then this bill that he pushed through and then

the absolute arrogance in the putting the priorities here. for example there's over $13 billion in this bill going to fix the ukrainian energy grid . there's one 13th or one tenth about that or less going to puerto rico. puerto rico has a famously corrupt energy grid. there are so many pet projects, over $80 million going to save that which is a beautiful world being destroyed right now by windmills and solar panels whic get billions of billions of billions of dollars. when a solo after an election. dc politicians are so arrogant, you might as well put that 4,00 page bill onto a jet and sign i when you're on vacation. >> there are too many examples of the poor, the special

projects and that built her whe the most egregious has to do with the crisis at the border where with a a lot of money to go to border and customs protection. they put language and the bill that says you're not allowed to use any of this money towards technologies and capabilities that will actually help secure the border. >> our friend, she had just court and major legal victory over the january 6 committee. the border crisis is making man texans feel unsafe in there own homes. ranch owner in texas just recorded incredible footage of migrants trying to break into her property for the third time. that is coming up next.

>> in october, the january 6 committee issued a subpoena to donald trump seeking access to various records from this time in the white house. this is a clear violation of th principle of separation of

powers and was done for political reasons. so filed a lawsuit against the january 6 committee to contest subpoena and this week they committee backed down and withdrew that subpoena. the head of dillon law group, she's also running to be chair of the rnc. thank you so much for being her i wonder if you could just star out with a little bit of contex for those at home wondering wha was the big deal about their subpoena and why did it warrant a lawsuit and why is it important for the country that you prevailed in this lawsuit. >> thank you for asking for thi january 6 committee as we all know has been going on for a year in a half and i would call it an extended advertisement with no actual legal significance they pretty much used it as a commercial for there own side for the midterm elections. so the only correct purpose of

house select committee investigation is really towards legislation. in this case, the one piece of legislation that came out of th january 6 committee was passed in september having to do with the electoral so after that, is when they issued the subpoena for donald trump and sought extensive records to the point of probably hundreds of thousands of documents from his presidency. the reason we fought back was really just for the principle o separation of powers. that is not the first time a former president has been subpoenaed by the house, and it would have been the first time that one actually testified if he had come forward and not question the subpoena. he articulated the same principles needed in the lawsuit . in addition to being overbroad, in addition to being vague, in addition to not pursuing proper

legislative purpose we have had that lawsuit in florida where president trump lives. some people are saying they jus let the clock run out. at the house wanted to fight th lawsuit they could have stepped up, they could have stepped up and engage with us and had a court ruling on the issue. they did not want a court rulin on the issue in new they were wrong and likely to lose as a result they never filed us in courts. they had to back down yesterday so we are pleased with the result for the offices of the presidency and because of the concept of separation of powers. >> there reaction proves your point, that this was about political moves before the election, it was posturing in about continuing to show there own political objectives that they were pursuing knowing it

was a futile effort from the beginning. thank you for your expertise an your leadership in and voice on this and so many other issues. >> thank you. one of the consequences of the ongoing border crisis is that there are many texas residents who no longer feel safe in ther own homes. take a look at this disturbing footage that shows illegal migrants trying to break into a ranch house in edwards county, texas. earlier this month, this house is about 50 miles inland from the border. the property owner said that this has happened before and sh spent more than $13,000 upgrading her security. debbie douglas is joining us now . she's joining us with her son scott and scott son daughter celeste. thank you for joining us to share your experience. i know there are others that ar concerned and experiencing the same fear that you are.

>> yes. we just finished construction a couple of months ago. this is the second time that there was an attempted break-in. one other time i came in. it is very sad. we cannot come up here and enjo the life that we did several years ago without fearing for our lives. we've constantly got to be armed . we have constantly got to be watching the little one so that she doesn't get out of our site and it is just, i don't know what the solution is--i do know what this solution is, closing the borders. they have got to do something. i'm sorry, go ahead. >> i was going to say, you mention the governor has got to do something great i know your governor and others are trying to do what they can to support secure the borders, but are

being actively opposed by federal enforcement. what kind of responses have you gotten from your local customs and border protection officers in your local law enforcement and what they are trained to do to keep the community safe. >> there is plenty of border patrol, there is many more patrol out here then, there is not enough of them when we driv from houston down here, we stil galveston police officers out her. there are police officers comin in from all over the state to assist. it still not enough because of the things being done at the border. we've got to closed on the border. this administration is not doin anything about it, so if we've got to rely on our governor to step in. >> debbie, when you are there a the ranch and you have your

beautiful granddaughter there with you, how do you feel at night seeing these videos of what's been happening and knowing that people are been trying to break into your home numerous times. how do you find that feeling of safety. >> it is always fearful, you ar always looking over your shoulder, you're listening for sounds not familiar to you. you do not feel safe. you can't go out on the porch and the mornings to drink coffe without a gun on you. i cannot tell you how fearful i is. how uneasy you feel coming even being out on the property. i am always looking, constantly. >> this is the third time in 18 months that we have had illegal here on our property.

>> gosch, debbie, scott, and celeste, i think you're being here and having the courage to speak out about this really drives home your experience tha lots a lot of americans who don't live there, near or on th border, it is easy to feel out of touch as though this is somebody else's problem, but yo drive it home about what this i about. it's about the safety and security of the american people of you, your community, and our country. thank you, and like you, change has to happen. >> it has to happen or none of us are going to be safe. >> that's right. thank you so much. of group of former special operations officers has just embarked on epic journey across seven continents. there in antarctica right now part of a historic and importan mission. that is straight ahead. ♪
