sits on the shelves past human extinction. i mean good, clean stuff. italian butchers. i want to hear from you. that's for it for us tonight. "tucker" is up next. always remember, i'm watters, and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlton tonight." happy first tuesday in 2023. we thought we'd be able to announce the new speaker of the house, but, no, the race for speaker is still ongoing. voting has been suspended for the day. it's going to resume again tomorrow. the fact that this race has not been settled by now is being described online as embarrassing by many. it is embarrassing, if you

prefer the soviet-style consensus. of course everyone is on board. that's they do. if you prefer democracy to oligarchy, real debates about issues that matter, it's refreshing to see it. yes, it's chaotic, but this is what it's supposed to be. we're going to bring you more detail on what's happening in just a minute, throughout the week, but first an overview to frame the big points. kevin mccarthy of california wants to be speaker. he wants that job more than anything else in his life. he was going to get it, but a group of 20 republican members stopped him, because they decided that kevin mccarthy is not conservative enough to represent a party that's just taken back the house from nancy pelosi. they are definitely right about that. mccarthy is not especially conservative. he's in fact ideologically agnostic. he's flexible. his real constituency is the lobbying community in washington. so if you've got sincere

political beliefs that's infuriating to watch. on the other hand, to be fair, this is politics, and mccarthy does have strengths. it's not easy being speaker when the house is this closely divided. and in some case kevin mccarthy is perfectly suited for that. he's skilled in politics. not a small thing. critically, mccarthy is willing to spend the next two years living in hotel rooms raising money for his party ahead of a historic presidential election. what other in the house is willing to do that? as of tonight, no one has stepped forward. so really the pivotal question is, how badly does kevin mccarthy want this job? 20 of his colleagues have just publicly disavowed him loudly and again and again. so to win them back, mccarthy is going to have to give them something real, not more airy promises, which he specializes in. he's going to have to give them actual concessions. if kevin mccarthy wants to be the speaker, he's going to have to do things he would never do

otherwise. like what? we can think of at least two things. first, release the january. 6th files. all of them. not to some phony committee that will hide them, in fact designed to hide them from the public, but put them online, release them to the public directly so that the rest of us can finally know what actually happened on january 6th, 2021. it's been two years. it's long overdue. it's our right as americans to know. second kevin mccarthy could put thomas massey of kentucky in charge of a new frank church committee, to study what the fbi has been doing. no one wash wants to talk about it. the topic is effectively off limits. in fact, nobody has talked about it for almost 50 years. because of that the rot has

spread and democracy has withered. you can feel it. the fbi is now a bigger force in american elections than any single group of voters. this cannot continue. it is poison. and kevin mccarthy is uniquely situated to stop it. mccarthy could restore our system to health. at the very same time get the job he's always wanted. it's not so complicated. let's hope he does it. as we said, more on that story in just a minute. in the first quarter of the nfl "monday night football" game last night, a player for the buffalo bills called damar hamlin made a tackle, before he tumbled backwards. espn announcerrers said they'd never seen anything like it in their careers. >> you play this for the majority full life, and then after that calling games. first of all, i've never seen anything like this. this is unchartered water for

everyone. >> right. >> 20 years, i've never felt what i'm feeling right now. haven't seen what we have been watching for the last 10-15 minutes. and it just puts things in perspective real quick. >> tucker: you probably see the tape. you may have been watching live. the buffalo bills announced afterward that damar hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field. trainers performed cpr on him for nearly nine minutes. it was horrible. the players responded not as competitors, but as human beings, compassionate ones, coming together in prayer for the fallen player. damar hamlin is in critical condition in a hospital in cincinnati, and it's unclear sadly whether he will survive. that's what we know. it's tragic. what we don't know could fill volumes, starting with why damar hamlin had a heart attack on a football field. we don't know the answer. there's no way to know the answer. we are not going to lie to you

and pretend we know the answer. hamlin was still lying on the field, selfing cpr when self-described medical experts in the media, people with no demonstrated medical ethics at all, effectively witch doctors, skieded to use his tragic life-threatening injuries as an opportunity to spread more propaganda about the covid shots. it could not have been the shot. shut up. they're lying. they don't know that. they don't know anything more than we know, which is effectively nothing. we can't say it was the shot. we can't say it was the shot. we don't know whether he got the shot. we don't know. neither do they. why are they telling you something they don't? it's not the first time of course. tonight in the appropriate spirit of humility, we'll speak to medical experts and scientists, people who like to follow the data, ask relevant questions, regardless of political pressure. getting to the truth is the essence of science. one of the people we'll speak to is a cardiologist that's done a

lot of research on the number of young people, particularly athletes, who have experienced heart attacks, cardiac events in the last two years, a surge in heart surgeries among the young. we're not sure why, but we know it's real and scary. when young people start dying we ought to pay attention. so in a few moments we're going to talk to peter mccullough about what this is and we know about it. first to place last night's incident in context, we're joined by michelle tafoya. you have covered sports for a living. were you as shocked as the rest of us? >> of course i was. i've seen a lot of injuries in close to three decades covering the nfl. they've ranged from spinal to

concussion to -- we covered a coach once who collapsed at halftime. we didn't know, again, if it was life or death. we didn't know. we had to cover that story. but nothing like this. and everyone has said it, no one's ever seen anything like it. you've got a player lying on the field, who needs cpr, because his heart has stopped beating. that's a terrifying visual. and even more so were the faces of all of his teammates and the players on the cincinnati bengals also. i mean, everyone was so distraught. i'll tell you, they had a much better view and feel of what was going on down there than any of us watching at home. it's a very different environment, when you're right there, feeling it, sensing it, watching it close up. >> tucker: you told us two relevant and important things. one, this is not normal. you've done this all your life. you were shocked by it. this doesn't happen all the time. and two, the players responded by as human beings, with great

decency and reverence for the tragedy they were watching. they prayed. they didn't do anything but that. i thought that was so impressive. you've covered these guys. were you surprised by that? >> not at all. not at all. these guys are brothers. they spend so much time together. they're working with each other toward a common goal. they have relationships that we could only hope to have in places like congress and academia, sometimes even in families. these guys are brothers. they'd do anything for each other. then there's the mutual respect among teams. everyone knows what it's like to get injured, to get hurt, but to watch this, a 24-year-old -- i mean, it really wouldn't have mattered if he was 25 or 22, but the fact is this is a young, strong, seemingly healthy man, and you're right to point out we don't know anything more about his background. we shouldn't speculate. but to watch this young, strong

player, go down in such a way that was -- clearly it was not the effect of the hit. it was cardiac. it is really something they could not get past. clearly they could not go on with the game. that wouldn't have been right and wouldn't have been possible for any of them to be mentally able to function out there. >> tucker: yes. it was great decency on the field from my perspective. it was heartening to see that. i appreciate your take on it. michelle tafoya, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: so as we told you, after damar hamlin collapsed on the field last night, trainers rushed to begin cpr almost immediately, and continued doing that for about 10 minutes. ultimately an ambulance took him off the field. a lot of people are asking procedural questions, is it unusual to perform cpr for that long? what does it mean for the prognosis of mr. hamlin? joining us to assess is dr. mark

segal. what do you make of what we saw? >> tucker, thanks for having me. obviously america is praying for damar hamlin tonight. a man of great courage, by the way, who rose up from poverty and showed great courage in what he's accomplished in life. he also, by the way, has been first-rounding for his town where he grew up, mckees rocks. what happened on the field? there's more we don't know than what we do know. we don't know whether he has underlying problems, if oxygen was interrupted. he's in the hospital in a coma, probably using steroids to decrease swelling and watch and monitor. the fact he's under probably doesn't mean anything. what's really disturbing, of course, is that he had a blow to the chest that wasn't that severe, and yet he crumpled to the ground, and looked like he was in ventricular fibrillation.

the aed improves the prognosis greatly. i don't know when they administered that. i don't know when the heartbeat came back. that's really important. i don't know if he got cpr for 9 minutes, his youth will be on his side, but it's a question -- because the cpr is about 30% of the usual cardiac output. is that enough? we don't know yet. you know, wh we don't know why t took that long. he's brought to the hospital. again, i'm watching the brain more than the heart. they're saying his vital signs are now stable, that he's stable. he's back in a normal rhythm. we're hearing that much. the fact is we don't know whether he's had enough oxygen to the brain. i do know that the foundation he's in charge of, had raised only $3,000 up until the point of this has happened, has raised

close to $5 million, because of the rabid fans from buffalo, people all over the country, to get toys in his hometown of mckees rocks, pennsylvania. america still has heart still, tucker. america has heart. our heart is out tonight for damar hamlin. we're praying for his recovery, tucker. >> tucker: amen. poor kid. gosh, just awful. marc siegel md, great to see you tonight. thank you. as we've said multiple times, it's worth saying, because it's a sign of respect for the man tonight in the hospital, we don't know exactly why damar hamlin collapsed last night. at the same time there are concerns about cases like this, young athletes collapsing on the field of heart problems, and there has been a dramatic increase. you're not imagining it. what is it? researchers looked into this trend in europe, european sports

league, and found that prior to covid, the covid-19 vaccines, there were 29 cardiac arrests in those european sports leagues that year. since the vax campaign began, more than 1500 total cardiac arrests in those leagues, and 2/3 of those were fatal. does that prove something? we don't know. but you should know that. dr. peter mccullough is a cardiologist, the author of "courage to face covid-19." doctor, thank you so much for coming on. this is one of those phenomena that people on social media are aware of, but i don't know the last time i heard, if ever, an american public health authority address this directly and tell people what is this. this is real? tell us your findings from your actual study. >> the concern here is that athletes at a professional level, tucker, are carefully

screened for underlying heart disease. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the athletes are screened for this, general abnormalities that can present, but sudden cardiac death is an unusual phenomenon. as your report indicates, it's extremely unusual in the nfl. there's a differential diagnosis that doctors go through when this happens. i watched it live. then i watched the replay as a cardiologist. to me it looked like he made a hard tackle, head and neck impact, but he got up, he clapped his hands, then fell over backwards. it looked like a primary cardiac arrest. everything that was done on the field looked perfect. the resuscitation is in a window where he can have neurological

recovery. covid-19 can cause heart damage. it can be asymptomatic, and the initial presentation can be a cardiac arrest. there's genetic abnormalities of rhythm disturbance, a spinal cord type of interaction with the heart, but the leading here is vaccine-induced myocarditis, if indeed he's taken the vaccine. the bills doctors and doctors at university of cincinnati medical center have a public health obligation to tell us if he's taken the vaccine. >> tucker: that's fair in the coming days. the cdc, seems to me, since the absolute numbers of heart incidents among young people are dramatically up across the west, and the cdc, as far as i know, has not been honest enough to address it, sent out a tweet the other day, saying you may be struggling with blood clots if you're a young athlete. seems like they're trying to tell us this is normal. is it normal for young athletes

to have life-threatening blood clots? >> we should never have our agencies try to normalize side effects. the fda says the vaccines cause myocarditis and heart damage. autopsy studies show it can be and is fatal. the same is true for blood clots and neurologic damage. our agencies should be protecting the health of americans and safety is job one. i'm disappointed that they're minimizing it. >> tucker: yeah. i mean, honesty is a prerequisite for trust. when people lie to you consistently, you can't trust them. dr. peter mccullough, thank you. so it's hard to believe that the d. justice would be concealing evidence that the president's son received payouts from foreign governments, but looks like they are. we have evidence of that straight ahead. plus, as we've told you, the future of the leadership of republicans in congress is in doubt tonight. there is no new speaker at this

hour. negotiations are ongoing. we're monitoring them. details ahead.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert. lots of drama on capitol hill tonight. there's still no speaker of the house. there are a couple of votes. kevin mccarthy has been turned down twice by a total of 20

republicans. fox's trace gallagher has an update for us. trace? >> after three rounds of voting, kevin mccarthy is actually losing ground during rounds one and two. 19 hard-line conservatives voted against him. in round three, florida gop congressman elect byron donalds voted against mccarthy. all 23 of the opposition votes went to congressman elect jim jordan who says he doesn't want to be speaker of the house. those voting against mccarthy, are pushing for specific committee assignments and increased funding to investigate government obstruction. >> it appears to be obstructionism. the goal post seems to keep moving. we all asked this morning as a conference some of those individuals what will it take to get to 218 to move forward with

the agenda the voters elected us to move forward with and stop biden's agenda. there was no answer. >> meantime kevin mccarthy says he's in it for the long haul. the record long-haul happened back in 1856, when it took 133 ballots over two months to elect a speaker of the house. the house cannot do any business until there's a speaker. new members can't be sworn in. s as the ballots move on, some members might start voting present, and, lowering kevin mccarthy's threshold. he needs 218 votes. tucker, he's 16 short going into tomorrow. >> tucker: democracy in action. trace gallagher, thank you. i had no idea that went on for months. appreciate it. watch trace every week night at midnight at "fox news at night." here's an interesting story that you may have missed. earlier this year, a lawyer called kevin evans issued a

records request to the department of justice, want information on the biden family overseas influence peddling operation. the doj did not comply. evan sued, saying they had potential relevant documents, but now doj is trying to hide the documents on behalf of the biden family it serves. josh boswell breaks a lot of stories over at the mail online, where he's a senior reporter, and broke this one tonight. hey, josh. >> hi. >> so who is this lawyer and is -- are we certain that these 400 pages exist? >> yeah. so this is a colorado lawyer who, umm, actually is quite an expert in the freedom of information act, which is what he used to file this request, to ask for any documents the justice department holds about hunter and jim biden, the president's brother, their

dealings with russia, china, ukraine. the justice department themselves, the lawyers admitted in court, according to evidence, that there were 400 pages at least of responsive documents, but now they're backtracking, as you say, claiming they can no longer confirm or deny that these documents exist. seems like a bit of a -- about about-face, and didn't make much sense. clearly there are some documents there. clearly this is something important that i think the american people should be able to see. >> tucker: you're not from this country, i realize, but it's your understanding that under the american legal code the d. justice is not allowed to cover up crimes by the president's family. that's not legal? >> if that was happening, that would be pretty much against the rules. we can agree on that. this is something we need to know about. millions of dollars have gone from a chinese company to hunter biden. we know that much from his laptop and other investigations.

we should be seeing every piece of evidence we can find on this, because this relates back to the president of the united states. it's incredibly important. >> tucker: if it wasn't for all the crack and porn, this laptop wouldn't be dismissed by people as irrelevant. it is relevant, as you all know. josh boswell, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: we're going to pivot next to a story from waffle house, a story caught on video, where a waffle house employee valiantly fought off a gaggle of drunk customers late night. she's become famous on line and tracked her down. we're honored to be joined by her next.

>> tucker: waffle house is an american institution, a great place when you're hungry, and honestly late night can get volatile, someone finds a bacon strip short in their all-star special and things can get out of hand. that happened in austin, texas, in a waffle house about a year ago, someone caught it on video, pretty amazing. here it is. even by the standards of waffle house brawls, this got zany. at one point someone threw a chair at a waffle house employee. here's the amazing thing. that employee effortlessly batted the chair away like wonder woman with her bullet-proof bracelets. you're seeing that on your screen right now. naturally we wanted to speak to this cool-headed waffle house

employee, known as waffle house wendy, and her real name is haley booth. thank you so much for coming on. you were not intimidated. the tape proves it at all, when a lunatic waffle house diner threw a chair at your head. how did you remain so calm? >> i really don't know. umm, it was -- it all happened so fast. it was mainly a pure rush of adrenaline and instinct that had me going. >> has anyone thrown a chair at you before? >> i mean, kids get rowdy in middle school, but not directly at me. >> yeah. good. that speaks well of the country. how did waffle house -- i'm watching this. i don't think i've seen an employee calmer under pressure than you. i assume you got some sort of award and special bonus from waffle house corporate. how big was your bonus? >> i actually didn't get any

bonus of it. the only thing that i did get from the fight was a write-up for breaking the sugar shaker. you know, telling them -- them telling me, you know, hey, we're going to write you up for the sugar shaker, but you did a good job protecting the store, making sure that you were all right. >> tucker: wait, wait. you were written up for breaking a sugar shaker when someone threw a chair at you? >> yes, sir. destruction of business property, yes. >> tucker: did you point out that you were the victim here? >> they watched the cameras. >> tucker: huh. >> they caught it on the company camera, the security cameras and whatnot. >> tucker: you were not awarded or rewarded for your bravery under pressure? >> no, sir. >> tucker: do you still work at waffle house? >> no. two months after the might, my

relationship was getting more serious, so i moved out of the city. they had told me i'm always welcome back at that store, you know, we're glad to have you back, you always have a place here. about six months later, when i went to apply at another waffle house in north carolina, i found out that i was black listed and on the do not hire list. >> tucker: because someone threw a chair at you? >> umm, i honestly think it was more of a we can't you nobody can type thing. i don't think it had anything to do with the fight. >> tucker: i should have asked you this at the beginning. why did this fight start? do you know? >> umm, all i know is they were extremely drunk, or at least intoxicated, and it was a slow night. i was the only cook. and there was about 30-40 people in there that i had to cook for by myself. it was moving slow. drunk and impatient, creates a

volatile situation. >> tucker: i hope they all went to prison. i bet they didn't. >> i didn't want to press charges. i felt that the situation had been resolved and everyone could go on their way. >> tucker: you're a nice person. thanks for joining us tonight. i'm glad you came. >> of course, yeah. >> tucker: so when the story broke, that the loudon school board of virginia had been covering up the sexual assault of children in schools, parents naturally began protest being. then one father was arrested for complaining about the sexual assault of his own child at a school board meeting. thankfully parents didn't back down. the former school superintendent of loudoun county was eventually indicted appropriately for his cover-up of sexual abuse. the governor found they misled

investigators. now glenn youngkin is asking whether they faced discrimination in the name of racial equity. governor glenn youngkin joins us how to explain. to the first story, it turns out this cover-up was real. is that what you discovered? >> yeah, absolutely, tucker. first of all, happy new year. virginia still continues to be absolutely at ground zero when it comes to standing up for parents' rights with their children, for recognizing that kids need their parents and their lives, and for standing up for excellence. that's exactly what we found in loudoun county. i ordered this investigation on day one of our administration, and our attorney general went to work. oh, by the way, the democrats immediately condemned it, saying it was all political. the reality was the loudoun county school board worked to cover this up. these poor young women should have never been assaulted and

the superintendent has fired appropriately and indicted. this is the work that comes when we shine a bright light on these heinous cover-ups that we know are going on. now we see, in fairfax county, violations of civil liberties, where we have students who had achieved a real accolade to be a national merit scholar, and they weren't told because they didn't want to make the other students feel bad. when you have a superintendent of loudoun county who expresses a desire that all students will have equal outcomes, no exceptions, this is the kind of crazy behavior that you get from principals and administrators. it's not right. it's not consistent with virginia values and american values. we're going to go to work to make sure we fully understand the facts here. >> tucker: and also a violation of federal civil rights law, isn't it, to discriminate on the basis of race. i didn't think that was legal in this country. >> absolutely. that's what i've also asked the attorney general to look into in a violation of virginia's civil

rights laws. this is the reality, that after eight years of liberal progressive democrat leadership and eight years of school boards not being held accountable, we're holding them accountable. it's as if they thought i might go away, tucker, but i'm not going to go away. we're going to stand up for parents' rights, that our children have their parents engaged in their lives fully. when see a problem, we're going to to work and root it out immediately. >> tucker: thank you. thomas jefferson was apparently the best school high school in the country. >> it's one of the finest schools in the nation, constantly ranked number one for science and technology. it's a meritocracy. we had to pass a law last year to redirect the admissions of the thomas jefferson school to be based on a meritocracy as opposed to an aspiration for equal outcomes and admissions. this is the challenge that we have. this is why virginia is at the forefront of making sure that parents' rights will be

protected. this idea of hard work and achievement will be valued in all our schools, but particularly in schools like thomas jefferson. >> tucker: if you can have a meritocracy in the nba, you can have one in our schools, it would seem. i appreciate your work. governor glenn youngkin of virginia, thank you so much. a former consultant to the coca-cola says coca coke paid millions to the naacp in order to call coca-cola's opponents race itself. , oh, that's how it works! talk about a whistleblower. that consultant joins us next to explain.

. >> tucker: you may have noticed there's a whole industry of smear merchants for hire in this country, people who take money from often powerful corporations to defame other people in the name of civil rights. jonathan greenblat of the antidefamation league does it for a living. the naacp does it as well.

earlier in his career, a consultant for the coca-cola company, his job was to assure that sugar taxes failed and that soda was included in food stamps funding, so poor people could have soda. he says coca-cola paid naacp and other civil rights groups to brand opponents of that group as racist. oh, you're a racist. oh, okay now. he's a whistleblower, and joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so you're basically confirming the most cynical assumption of observers, which is this is all a pay-for-play deal, big corporations use these groups, like the naacp, to hurt their business opponents. that's what you saw? >> tucker, being inside the room there are three parts to the playbook, to basically rig the system that coke and other special interests use. the first, as you alluded to, is

the civil rights group, and in terms of the food stamps and coke issue was the naacp. what was shocking, being inside the room, it's transactional. coke will give -- in this case the naacp -- millions of dollars for the naacp to call opponents, in this case parents concerned about their kids, ingesting a hundred times more sugar than they did a hundred years ago, to call them racist and shut down debate. the second part, this is bipartisan, the heritage foundation, other conservative think tanks, i have a lot of experience with the heritage foundation. let me tell you, ordering a study from them is about as easy as going into mcdonald's and ordering a big mac. research institutions, it's important to note that coke and processed food companies spend 11 times more on nutrition research than the nih. being in the rooms, i can tell you, this is not out of philanthropic good will. they expect something in return.

what they're getting is studies from elite institutions saying sugar doesn't cause obesity, and the loser is kids. >> tucker: well, of course, and all of us. the depth of the corruption is awe-inspiring, and this deserves a longer conversation than what we have time for now. the i'm just interested, you're almost alone in talking about it in public. why are you saying this? i mean, thank you, but why? >> yeah, thank you, tucker. i'm thinking about my new son, the world he's going into. he's going into a world where 25% of young adults have prediabetes, which used to be called adult onset diabetes, where male sperm count is plummeting 50%. we're getting fatter, because of food, of a rigged system, because of these tactics.

it's an issue that the left and right need to get behind. we are destroying our precious human capital in this country because of the nutrition, healthcare access that's incentivized for us to be sick, addicted for longer periods of time. that's how they make money. >> tucker: yeah. and the lying. that degrades all -- to cite the pettis bridge in order to justify this is infuriating. i appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: to chicago, an amazing and wonderful american city has become so dangerous, people are leaving, so dangerous that this summer the teenage brother of a coworker at fox was murdered there. we wanted to talk about him, about his life in a poor part of chicago, what's happened to the city. we had a remarkable conversation, and our respect for him increased exponentially. here's part of it from "tucker carlson today."

>> i'm from the south side of chicago. grew up extremely poor. lights, gas and water at the same time. >> tucker: for people from chicago, where on the south side? >> 72nd and dorchester, chatham neighborhood. we lived in the projects. actually down the street from pastor brooks' church. that's a tough area. >> tucker: yeah. >> we experienced a multitude of locations, because we would oftentimes have to move, because maybe we were getting evicted, maybe something else was going on. >> tucker: so you had no money? >> no. we grew up really poor. even though my mom and dad were never married, my dad would pick me up on the weekend, take me to his parents' house, we'd have catfish and spaghetti. >> tucker: he was interested? >> he was interested. partly the saving grace of why i'm here today is because of my father's father. how i got into politics, what became the paradigm shift for me, my grandfather, we were

riding through this area of chicago, the hardest-hit area for drugs, violence, gangs, the whole deal. >> tucker: the south side? >> absolutely the south side. we're ready-to-go through this area of chicago. i look out the window. i see what i believe to be my mom. i'm tearing up, but looking out the window so he doesn't see me, because my grandfather is a tough guy, wouldn't want to see me crying, but he notices me tearing up. i realized it wasn't my mother, but certainly could have been here. he says in his very southern voice, what's wrong with you, boy, and how can i prevent this from happening, and he said politicians can prevent rent money for those who want to be rehabilitated. i wanted to be an elected official. i volunteered for my local halderman, leading to an internship. >> tucker: was your alderman good? >> yeah. she was a democrat, but cared about our community.

>> tucker: that matters. >> she actually did care about our community. i was learning about politics. i was really hoping to affect the kind of ching that would save my mom's life. that was the catalyst for me getting involved in politics, staying in politics. >> tucker: that conversation really is absolutely worth it. you can watch it right now. here's a story we're accepting as normal, but it's not normal at all, hundreds of illegal aliens shut down a national park in the united states. like we all shrug, that's normal. no. it's a bad sign. we've got details coming up. cole hauser is an award winning actor who has starred in good will hunting too fast, too furious and the current hit show yellowstone. beyond his impressive career, he is a proud supporter of the tunnel to towers foundation. i was able to spend some time with cole and his family to reflect on those
