dana is a nervous wreck. you never trust a liberal with the plane. judge jeanine, i'd have her as my copilot. i think we could get that thing down. dvr the show. "tucker carlson" is up next. always remember, i'm watters. this is my world. ha-ha-ha. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." kevin mccarthy badly wants to be the next speaker of the house, but as of tonight he's not going to be. he doesn't have the votes. it's not a good of who's good or bad, who's well intentioned, who's not. it's a question of simple electoral math, something that kevin mccarthy is highly familiar with since he does this for a living. at this point, as of right now,

facing that mathematical reality, kevin mccarthy can step aside and let somebody else do the job, acknowledging in the process that he's not the only person in congress capable of being speaker, or he can try and win over the people who oppose him, as you traditionally do in elections. you've got reservations about kevin mccarthy? you don't want to be ruled by a man who wears the arabian flag lapel pin? no problem. we get it. they're using threats and fear to force people to support the candidate. anyone who opposes kevin mccarthy, one his surrogates explained today, is, quote, an enemy, a, quote, terrorist. that's their mechanical. in a moment we'll tell you how that message has worked out. first tonight in the summer of

2016, the government transparency organization wikileaks released thousands of emails from the servers of the democratic national committee. those documents showed conclusively that hillary clinton partisans had worked to rig the democratic primary against her rival bernie sanders. it was obvious from the start that that email dump had come from an internal source, probably from a dnc staffer offended by the corruption of the clinton team. of course the democratic party couldn't admit. too embarrassing, too revealing. so instead in order to cover this wrongdoing, the clinton campaign claimed the russians hacked the servers. remember that? you may have believed it or not, but intel agencies in this country must have known at the time that it was not true. they would know, but they said nothing. they said nothing because blaming russia turned out to be a useful political tool. in fact, before long, it became the default response to every perceived disaster in washington. hillary lost.

why russia? hunter biden's laptop is here. russia. and so on and so on. so over time probably inevitably the inflated threat of russia became a pretext for everything bad, including censorship in this country. it's russian disinformation. shut it down. thanks to new reporting from matt taibbi we know the federal government's intelligence and law enforcement agencies enthusiastically joined the effort to censor the political speech of american citizens illegally. it was a sophisticated effort. at one point, for example, the state department released a report falsely claiming that thousands of twitter accounts were controlled by foreign governments. russia. and then unnamed sources in the intel world leaked scary headlines about russian disinformation running rampant on twitter. twitter deleted data pertinent

to the russian probes. and then there was a piece about advertising because of russia. it was a manufactured panic about russia. on the basis of that manufactured panic, lawmakers in washington demanded more censorship. >> the issue is not that the companies before us today are taking too many posts down, the issue is they're leaving too many dangerous posts up. in fact, they're amplifying harmful content so that it spreads like wildfire and torches our democracy. >> tucker: oh. too much speaking. your opinions are a threat to our, quote, democracy. that would be sitting united states senator ed marquee of massachusetts. not long after that tape was shot in november of 2020, congressman adam schiff of california, the chairman of the house intelligence committee demanded that twitter censor any

discussion about the house intelligence committee. quote, suppress any search result about committee staff, he demanded twitter. he was critical that a journalist had reported on schiff's connection to the whistleblower behind donald trump's impeachment. quote, suspend the many quotes, commanded schiff's office. this is illegal. it's openly unconstitutional. government officials cannot suppress speech. that's the bill of rights. even at twitter, executives seem toto understand that. no, we don't do this t relied one twitter executive. ultimately they caved. in time, paul sperry was censored by twitter, along with thousands of others. twitter had effectively become a government propaganda outlet. how that happened, the effect it had on american electoral politics, is one of the most important stories of our time. as we said, we know about it because of matt taibbi, the

center of it, and he joins us tonight. matt, thanks for coming on. your extensive reporting on this, which is on twitter and on your substack, but to summarize, having looked at these documents for weeks now, how deep was the penetration of twitter by u.s. law enforcement and intel agencies? >> i think we can say pretty conclusively after looking at tens of thousands of emails over the course of these weeks that the government was in the censorship business in a huge way. that's i think proveable now. not just one agency. really every conceivable wing of the enforcement agencies of the u.s. government were in some way or another sending moderation requestses to twitter, and in many cases those requests were being fulfilled, coming from every, every place from the nsa to the nhs to fbi, dhs, even

what they call other government agencies, which i think is code for the cia. >> tucker: yeah, it is. >> reports from all over, from states, from police departments, everywhere. >> tucker: so that's prima facia illegal. it's unconstitutional. government cannot censor political speech. it could not be clearer. our assumption is that this was made possible because of hysteria about russian penetration of our politics. is that your read of it? >> absolutely, yeah. i think the thread that i put out yesterday traces the history of what happened, particularly in the fall of 2017. twitter somewhat naively thought they would not be sucked into the russiagate phenomenon, thought it would be facemask's problem alone, but when it started to become difficult for them politically, senator mark warner of virginia put pressure

on them, an email about, quote, keep producing material for them. ultimately twitter ended up caving. by the end of the year, they said publicly we will only remove content at our sole discretion. privately we will remove content identified by the united states intelligence committee as a foreign state actor. if the intel community says take it down, we'll take it down. >> tucker: and a lot of people censored were not foreign state actors. in one case you documented this was a journalist. a lot of different nonprofit organizations that purport to defend free speech. have any of them weighed in on this and raised holy hell? >> no. that's been a profound disappointment. you know, for me personally i gave to the aclu for years on one of those sort of dyed in the

wool liberals, grew up that way. i'm deeply disappointed. i think a lot people politically on that side of the aisle are missing the boat on this. they don't understand the gravity of the situation. they're thinking about this in partisan terms. it's not a partisan story. this is a story about the architecture of the intelligence community and law enforcement getting its hands on speech, on the ability for people to communicate with one another through platforms like twitter and facebook. they're doing this in a profound way, much more serious than i thought it was at the beginning of this story. >> tucker: twitter is a smaller player. you have facebook and google that dwarf it in size. i mean, we've got to assume those two companies are aspen trade as twitter has been -- are as penetrated as twitter has been, don't we? >> yes. there's evidence for that. certainly we've seen they have

weekly or monthly industry meetings with the dhs and the fbi. those included a number of companies, including facebook, in some cases wikipedia, pinterest, a whole series of companies included in these communications. how deep the penetration goes in those other companies i can't say, but i do know they had close communications. in twitter's case, the number of requests that came in was really overwhelming. your previous guest michael shellenberger talked about how they were paid $3 million by the fbi. they were underpaid. they were doing so much work for the government in terms of reviewing these documents that they should have been commented a lot more for their work. >> tucker: how can it be a free society or democracy if law enforcement and intel agencies are determining what we can say? >> well, people are hiding behind the fig leaf of, well, they didn't formally ask, they didn't demand that you do it.

how much of an ask is it really? how voluntary is it really when the cia, the dhs, comes to your company, presents you with an excel spreadsheet with thousands of names and say we assess these accounts are linked to the internet, foreign threat actors. >> tucker: there are many problems that beset american society. this is a simple one to fix. government agencies are not allowed to censor speech in the united states. i think it's an easy thing to remedy. we wouldn't know about it were it not for your efforts. thank you so much. a lot of drama in washington as we alluded at the outset. the house of representatives just reconvened 11 minutes ago to try once again to elect a new

speaker of the house. we are monitoring that. meanwhile, it pains us to say this, but it's true, surrogates for kevin mccarthy are saying out loud, if you don't support kevin mccarthy for speaker, you're a terrorist. we have that tape. plus, the canadian shop teacher with the gigantic prosthetic breasts working out his fetish in front of the kids. we have an update on that story. of course we do. we'll be right back.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert. the house of representatives has reconvened at this hour to try and select a new speaker of the house. now, we're hearing reports two minutes old that a deal may be close that would put kevin mccarthy in that spot. we do know, don't know if it's true or not, we know as of right now mccarthy is not close to getting the job. 22 republicans still oppose him. so if people oppose you in an election, typically you try to win them over, you assuage their concerns, you wheel, you deal, you trade some horses, massage their egos. you don't scream at them. yet today congressman dan crenshaw of texas, a surrogate for kevin mccarthy, did.

he did what neocons always do, labeled them a terrorist. watch. >> you pressed us into this corner. now we're saying we won't vote for anyone but mccarthy. we cannot let the terrorists win. >> tucker: they're terrorists now? it's hard not to see the connection, because over the past few years pretty much every part of the war on terror has been turned against the domestic political enemies of the neocons. now they're coming out and telling you what they told you about iraq. either you're with us or against us. you're on the side of light or darkness. you're good or evil. the dan crenshaw went all the way, as neocons always do, he proceeded to go to cnn to call his political opponents enemies of the state. soviet-style politics? watch this. >> this handful of members, very clearly looking for notoriety over principle. that's what it is.

anyone who suggestion differently is in some kind of disbelief. if you're a narcissist, you believe your opinion is so much more important than everyone else's, you keep going, and threaten to tear down the team for the benefit of the democrats just because of your own sense of self-importance. that's exactly what's happening here. we will not vote for anyone else but mccarthy. these people think they're stubborn? we're more stubborn. it's going to be so much worse. you know, they are enemies now. >> tucker: you may like kevin mccarthy or not. both are allowed. but no matter how you feel, you have to acknowledge, if you're being honest, that people who don't like kevin mccarthy have a reason for that. they have real concerns, real issues. but you'll notice that dan crenshaw didn't address any of those, none of them, instead he impugned their motive, their character, their intelligence, their moral standards.

they're narcissists. in fact, and we're quoting, they're enemies now. now, what you just saw as dan crenshaw just spoke, is the snarling face. donor class, revealed for all to see finally. the deep loathing of duce obedient voters that may be their most passionate secret emotion, but they're not bothering to hide that emotion anymore. now you know how they really feel. charlie herd is the opinion editor of the washington times and joins us to assess. thank you very much for coming on. we're not running congress. we're not taking a position on this one way or the other, but it is a little bit amazing to see surrogates for kevin mccarthy attack anybody, using the twin tactics of fear and threats that the left uses. they're trying to convince people. what is this? >> another piece of evidence proving they're terrible at politics. of course, you're exactly right, if you wanted to win people

over. if you listen to boebert, and never mccarthy talk, they're not looking for an offramp now, because they're having more fun than the democrats are. that's understandable. they're enthusiastic politicians. they're keeping their options are open. the options are open because they think they might be able to get something out of kevin mccarthy. when you stop and look at this -- if you take them seriously -- and i do take them seriously -- you ask yourself, okay, what's the problem here? it's simple. it's spending. that's the problem. the problem is spending. if kevin mccarthy could convince those 20 people that he was going to do something that was going to stop the spending then he could probably make headway. you know, last night, you mentioned a couple of really great ideas about -- about positions that, you know, that kevin mccarthy could offer. i would add a couple more. a couple more. one would be that he could make a vow, make this to the american

people, as well as democrats and republicans, that he's not going to put a single bill on -- spending bill on the floor that's not about one agency. they're going to vote on agency by agency. no more omnibussism. every bill he puts on the floor is going to include a 10% cut, just like everybody's employer has had to do in their private lives over the past couple years, just like every family household has had to do, had to cut spending by 10%. the second thing he could do, he could make the vow, if he puts a single bill on the floor that comes from mitch mcconnell and the senate, and chuck schumer, different from that, then they could recall him as senator. not another bill spending one dime on ukraine until we fix our own border. the minute we fix our own border, we can have another vote on this stuff, if you want. i hope it fails, but we can at

least have a vote on it. i think if mccarthy offered those two things, i think those could be real game changers for the people -- the holdouts who -- who have one problem, spending. >> tucker: i think that's right. the fact that we're sending billions a month to protect ukraine's borders while our own remain so open that we had to close a national park last weekend, because it was flooded with illegals, it's so offensive, such an insult to this country, if you can't do that, you -- i agree with you. charlie hurt, thank you for your analysis. you may remember, in the deep recesses of your brain, that creepy shop teacher in canada who decides to sexualize the kids in his shop class getting them involved in his weird fetish. the guy uses the name calo lemieux, and shows up to class wearing gigantic prosthetic breasts, emulating japanese

pornography. the school district and school board has defended this guy. a parent joins us to explain. sure appreciate you coming on tonight. thank you for having the bravery to make your position public. what is your position about this shop teacher? >> well, thanks for having me, tucker. we appreciate your interest in this. what we've done, we've asked the board to essentially do three things. we've asked them to apply the student dress code to the teachers, because one doesn't exist for the teachers. in our view, it's illogical and absurd that the teachers would be held to a lower standard than the students in terms of their attire. secondly, once we've established what that standard is, if the school board is creating exceptions from that standard we want to know specifically what those exceptions are.

then thirdly, we would like the school board to cease and desist from interfering with the right of the parents to discuss this matter. they've repeatedly done that in school council meetings since the beginning of the year. >> tucker: this reveals their priorities, much more interested in protecting this guy's sexual journey than they are with the kids. shouldn't they be concerned with the kids that go to the school? >> i do agree with that. this is an issue about gender identity and expression. human rights by their nature are complex, but gender identity and expression are relatively new grounds introduced into code in 2012. we don't have a lot of jurisprudence or direction from the tribunal or courts. they've taken an overly risk

averse approach to this issue. they have a diversity inclusion mandate, and as a person with students in those schools, i commend that. i appreciate it. however what they're missing, when it comes to human rights, particularly gender identity and expression, context is important. there's a delicate balancing of interests that have to happen here. i don't think they've done that appropriately. as you pointed out, tucker, i think the context that they're missing here is that this is a school. these are children. they're adolescents. their maturity is still developing. on the other hand, i think there's extreme views taken of this as well, which says that transgender individuals don't have any rights under the law. the problem is that's an extreme view. the parents that i represent, the parents that support them, are being labeled as discriminatory or bigoted. that's the problem. it polarizes us.

what we need is a constructive approach, constructive dialog, and common sense on this issue. >> tucker: you're not going to get constructive dialog if no dialog is allowed, if parents aren't allowed to talk. i hope at the very least you win that battle and get freedom of speech back. i appreciate you coming on. >> i'm hopeful that we will. appreciate you having me. thank you. >> tucker: we have another fox news alert for you by two votes moments ago the house of representatives has just decided to ad adjourn for the night. there will be no more votes tonight. we will not have a new speaker. the votes will resume ad noon. here's a story you're not seeing enough. in this country, electricity has become extremely expensive. these are the fruits of the green new deal. it's making people poor. why is no one mentioning that? we have the numbers just ahead.

>> tucker: we told you several times about the incomer crisis that's moving europe back several notches economically, becoming poorer. it's as a result of the war in ukraine, but not exclusively. that's happening here too. in case you haven't noticed, in case you haven't checked recently, electricity prices in this country are completely out of control. that's not your perception. it's real. from november 2021 to november 2022, the price of electricity has gone up more than 46% in the city of boston, for example. in hawaii, up more than 36%. miami, 35% over a year. in one year. baltimore 24%. keep in mind, these are average prices, but they fluctuate depending on the weather. during severe weather, prices have gone up by more than 6,000% in some parts of the country. according to bloomberg, for example, electricity prices in houston, texas, one of the biggest cities in the country, in a state that's totally energy independent, in houston prices went up 65 fold just a few days before christmas.

there was a winter storm. why is this happening? really simple. renewable energy. people are making billions off of it, donating to democrats. so you wouldn't think the biden administration would be interested in fixing it. o,oh, no, they're not. >> as the day goes by, you will see it in a new coast to coast network of electric vehicle charging stations or a new wind turbine or cutting-edge solar panel that will cut energy costs and protect our planet. or a new water heater in your home that lowers both your electric bill and pollution. the bottom line is this president joe biden and i are making this better, brighter future real. >> tucker: now, what you shouldn't do is let a group of no-nothings sweep into power in

a very suspect election and turn the country you grew up into a third world hellhole. that's actually where we're headed. that's not an overstatement. look at the numbers. if you're worried about electricity prices in the united states of america, which has the largest recoverable oil reserves in the world, it's not an accident, it's on purpose. the publish of "green fraud," which it is, joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. a couple of questions. why are there not front page stories everywhere about increases in electricity prices of 25%, 35%, 40%, 50% in a year? why is no one saying anything about this? >> it's part of the agenda. the media is in this on this agenda. these are the intended consequences of these policies. associated press had an article about the heating fuels being up more than 50% year over year last year, so they've covered it, but not in a way of saying

this was allegedly caused by, say, the free market system, was causing the shortage. instead they gloss over the pain that real americans are feeling. this is disproportionately impacting people on fixed income, lower income people, high percentage of their money goes to pay for this higher energy. of course you think the media would be all over that. but they're not, because they're in on what kamala harris described, essentially this green utopian vision, not achieved anywhere else in the world. sri lanka tried it. europe tried it. coal use is hitting a global high to reverse their trends, their hellish version of the green new deal. the u.s., we have it baked in our system, heading down the same road europe has done for the last decade. >> tucker: that's the point. it's utopiaism without the utopia. we keep hearing these claims that renewables are better than what we currently have. you follow this for a living.

you write about it. you study it for a living. can you think of any place on planet earth, where renewable energy has made energy more reliable or cheaper? >> it's utopian. they replace the existing reality that worked. remember, the united states has had electrical grids. there's no excuse. the only excuse is politics and a net zero green new deal, climate agenda has crept into our policies. solar and wind being subsidized. there's no penalty for the lack of energy they produce. they're treated equally, which forces grids to have -- incorporate with solar and wind mandates them into the grid, and you end up with either shortages and consequential skyrocketing prices. we ought to name energy

blackouts after the politicians. name the policies -- name the blackouts after politicians who push these policies. >> tucker: that's totally true, but they've silenced the opposition with their signature moral aggression, where people are embarrassed of fossil fuels. what? you're embarrassed of civilization? thank you. so every major government agency at your expense publishes hundreds of imagination of guidelines that promote absurd antiwhite woke propaganda. "wall street journal" just obtained documents from nasa, who talked about micro inequities. the department of veteran affairs has a gingerbread person. it's happening at the pentagon? that's a huge problem. the army now advises soldiers not to have any, quote, discomfort sharing with a female who has male genitalia.

really? some dude is going to get into the shower with you, pretending to be a girl, you don't like it, you're the weirdo. soldiers are leaving over this. ivan is one of them. he served 25 years as a lieutenant colonel and green beret. he left after vax mandates and equity training. he retired. we asked about it in a brand-new episode of "tucker carlson today." here's part of the conversation. >> we've gotten away from the focus of fighting and winning our nation's wars and defending the constitution. if we get back to that, i think we'll be in a better position to start to repel from foreign adversaries, which i kind of pivoted and talked about. obviously the biggest one is china. also russia is helping and advise, i would argue, to make sure that it expedites our demise. iran is probably right there, not in a close third, but in third place.

>> tucker: you said if you're going to remind the entire military force what its job is, which is to defend the constitution -- >> it's to know the constitution. >> tucker: thank you. >> so if i asked the question, secretary austin, chairman of joints of chiefs, if i asked you, general, what are you going to do when the 25th amendment is violated? oh, you don't know what the 25th amendment is. what are you going to do when the 12th amendment is violated? you don't know that one? what about article 2, section 1, clause 2, or article 1, section 4? most of these people will look at you like a deer in the headlights, have no clue what you're talking about. our entire institutions have been -- through the media have pushed this, whether it's all three branches of federal government, even at the state level, have been pushing this narrative to make people think that this is actually a -- the extremism thing is a thing, and

only applies to one side of the political ideology. so in a sense some folks are convinced that's true, even though it's not. it's not based on fact. others know that critical thinkers -- i would say the majority of my network is in the special ops and intel community, and those that are even lean left of center, when i present the evidence, in a very deliberate, systemic manner, they know where i stand ideologically, they'll agree with the conclusion, which does not align with what's been -- what's being prom mel gated at the top. they don't want to lose their job. they don't want to lose their benefits. it all comes down to that. it comes down to safety/security, and they're willing to bend and budge on their moral, ethical, and even legal principles. >> tucker: stream the full conversation on fox nation right

now. full so canada is like the u.s., just a few years ahead of us. they've completely given up on trying to improve the lives of their people. if you're not doing well, the state will kill you. in fact, they're actively, the government, act, has a paralympn sharing her story. that's next.

hi, i'm katie, i've lost 110 pounds on golo in just over a year. as a mom, it has been life-changing. my daughter had lost 20 pounds, my son had lost probably about 40. we're just a lot more healthier as a family in general.

i had no idea how much i wamy case was worth. c call the barnes firm to find out what your case could be worth. we will help get you the best result possible. ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million ♪

after my car accident, ♪ call owondnder whahatmy c cas. eight million ♪ 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 >> tucker: so we spent a couple segments tonight telling you how to dysfunctional congress is, and one of the things you learn when you look closely is there's a lot of buffoons serving there. dan crenshaw, you saw that, you know that for a fact. if you're feeling down on congress, everything is relative. have you seen the president recently? here he was today promoting his infrastructure agenda with mitch mcconnell in kentucky. >> i've traveled over 140 countries in the world. i'll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood, the rest of the country, the world is not a patch in our jeans, if we do

what we want to do, we need to do. >> tucker: yeah, right. that's the president. so canadians, when you run into them, would always brag about their healthcare system. it was free. they don't say that anymore, because it's not working. a new poll shows nearly half of people in canada think their local hospital is, quote, overwhelmed. that's a huge problem. that's a basic government service in canada, but rather fix it, the trudeau government is deciding to kill people, subsidizing the killing of their own population, through euthanasia, the state killing people, inconvenient people, poor people, disabled people. the most case involves a retired army colonel, a playera pledgic, who competed in the 2016 rio de janeiro paralympics. they talked about getting a wheelchair lift in her home, because she needs it. the response from the va officer? take advantage of our

government-funded euthanasia, you should die. christine joins us tonight. i appreciate you coming on to tell it. did we simplify fairly your experience with the government? >> even the translation, at the committee, it was wrongly transmitted right there. i understand how things can change. i will again say exactly what happened. i was asked to go and speak in front of the veterans affair committee on another subject, about a $570 million new contract that trudeau has just issued. our veteran services is now private property.

at that committee, somebody has brought upon the medical assistance to die from other veterans. the deputy has spoken about this being just an isolated case, and it was unknown of others, but i had to raise my hand and say, i'm sorry, but this happened to me as well. so as i have told the veterans affairs services one day to say how i could not go on anymore, things were so hard. it's been five years to this day that i'm waiting for an elevato, may i say, five years that i have to worm on the floor, like a worm, to go up and down to exit my house. the person told me, if you're that fed up, you're that tired, you can't go on anymore, you know you have the right to die. how was that brought up? there was no guideline or offered method or doctors to do

it. when this guy told me that, i said this is ridiculous, i can't believe that you will not give me the equipment i need to live, but you will help me to die? that's how the conversation ended. i have written to the minister macaulay and prime minister trudeau to have meetings with them, bring this to their attention, because this person who told me that has direct access to my file, and decisions made. i have tried to counter circuit and go directly up to them. unfortunately they just told me how sorry they were, and that they were -- they believed in their ministry to be able to handle things properly. it's been five years waiting. still nothing done. this has been going on with the veterans affairs for over 15 years. i have waited and asked and -- waited 18 years for a second set of wheels for my wheelchair.

everybody has winter tires in quebec. it's mandatory. it's law. but yet they won't give a second set of wheels for wheelchairs. it is ridiculous. >> tucker: yeah. any country that encourages disabled veterans to kill themselves should be ashamed. i'm sorry that you had to go through that. christine garuthier thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: adam kinzinger was a congreccongressman was the othe. where is he now? we'll watch him cry. that's t after the break. i can't believe it. here we are at the let us do good village. first community like this in america. a hundred families together that lost their loved ones. the kids that lost their mom or dad protecting us. and today is the day that we're going to deliver

the first beautiful home to the thornton family. some wonderful people donated. a bunch of land in land o' lakes. to let us do good village. having stood here on this same property with a shovel and now seeing a home where a family is going to move in. built all of our roads, all of our infrastructure is here. we've got several homes are under construction. and this is absolutely amazing to me. it's going to have a pool gym, rec center, beautiful facility, a movie theater where the folks, again, can live and heal and grow together. to see it completely done, to see it fully furnished, it's a blessing to be able to get a home like this. my children struggle a lot, but i feel like this community will bring a closeness with other children that are struggling with the same thing that they are. this is going to be my home. if you look around, can you just imagine the families like minded folks? that's going to be here. here at the let us do good village,

we can bring all those folks together. this is something that america is missing. people seeing these things happen inspire others to do good. we need to take care of our gold star families. tunnel to towers does that. this is a foundation that you should be a part of because not just helping me, but there's so many people like me that need help.

>> tucker: sort of amazing news to report tonight. not a fox news report but close. adam kinzinger leaves congress

and someone hired him. hired him for a job. you may not believe it but trace gallagher can confirm it. what did you see? >> cnn have confirmed they won't be far left media but they will be a unbiased news source. to prove things are changing cnn has hired adam kinzinger, not just as a political analyst but the network senior political analyst. it's no surprise to this show which days ago predicted this. watch. >> tucker: in weeks adam kinzinger will not be seen again. we will never forget him. >> bingo. appears to be a good fit. the only one that hates former president trump more than cnn is

adam kinzinger. he said if trump was not charged with insurrection the country was doomed. calderon "kind of screechy. kinzinger and cnn the dynamic unbias duo. >> tucker: senior political analysis. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: he has done an interview on cnn tonight. weirdly nobody at cnn asked kinzinger why we don't have the com documents or videos from the night of the january 6th committee. huh. we have some. one raises questions about ray. the one insurrectionist that adam kinzinger seems to like. he texted this, i was in the front of the demonstration with

others and orchestrated it. oh, you admit a crime. you were never charged, arrested or sent to jail. why? friday is the anniversary of january 6th and will mark it with an investigation. we can't wait for that. in the meantime have a great night with the ones you love. sean hannity right now. >> sean: welcome to "han it." coming up tonight the han it hot seat is back. buckle up for the debate segment. first breaking now the house has adjourned for the evening. the on going battle for speaker that continues at this late hour. we have coverage and full details. and the liar adam schiff has been exposed again. not this time with russians. this time documents show that adam schiff was attempting to use the power of your ve
