-- from lore et owe, texas. took your advice. drinking a totty after work and watching your show. i recommended hot totties? i'm back on tequila. that's all for tonight. dvr the show. tucker sup next. remember i'm waters and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening, welcome to tucker carlson tonight. last spring in march a press conference in brussels joe biden explained the sanctions he imposed against russia were morally necessary. also causes food shortages in the united states and it will be real. biden said this in an odd way. no hint or panic. emotions you predict from a

leader predicting the deaths of human beings from starvation. it was casualness. he could of been describing the weather or a trip to the dry cleaners it will be real. then recounting a conversation with european allies he told us all about it. he said they spoke about "how we can increase and did i seminate more rapidly food shortages." that's what joe biden said, verbatim on tape. here the president of the united states is pledging to increase food shortages at a press conference. that seems like a news worthy event. not a single news organization in this country know it happened or did the white house correct it. that ended up on social media. facebook flagged as false news. strict whraoe speaking there is nothing false about the video. nobody contest pugh that. apparently facebook users were to understand that joe widen is

senile and not accountable for his own words. taking joe biden literally qualifies as "misinformation." we will leave that episode for you to assess. we can't know what joe biden was thinking if anything when he uttered the words in brussels. we can tell what you happened afterwards. disasters at food prosers are alprocessorsacross the united s. a fire, two separate plane crashes. one plane hit a general mills plant in georgia. the other hit a food plant in i'idaho. in february a potato plant was obliterated in georgia and so on. even knows that don't think of conspiracies have to wonder is

something here. nobody could tell. the biden administration had no data. the biden administration tracks a lot of things, the things they care about. the race, ethnicity and is beings life of every person in the united states of america. how about gay southeast asians in long hall trucking. these are the questions that concern the bean counters in the buy en administration. at the same time the same administration keeps no real records about the infrastructure of our food supply. honestly we can't really know one way or another. we don't have a baseline whether something strange is going on with food suppliers. some days you do wonder. on saturday an enormous egg farm in connecticut burned to the ground for no obvious reason. huge fire. at least 25 fire departments responded and fought the blaze for eight hours. more than a hundred thousand chickens died. now that's a sad story. what is interesting is most media companies didn't consider

it a story at all. weird considering egg prices are a problem for most americans. up more than a hundred percent in many p places. at that moment a hundred thousand chickens die in a freak fire. the new york times in a neighboring state doesn't even cover the fire. what is that? don't worry. things like this have nothing to do with egg prices says the media. it's avian flu. >> egg con supbgs has groan for a protein source. the production has slumped because of the bird and avian flu epidemic. the u.s. says more than 58,000 birds have been infected in the u.s. unfortunately the infected birds have to be killed. causing egg supplies to fall and prices to surge. in some cases stores are running

out and limiting the amount people can buy. >> we bought eggs earlier this week we paid $8.9 $8.99 for a dn eggs. >> if you ask, the administration will tell you egg prices are high because of avian flu. a completely natural virus like covid. nothing to do with chicken farms burning to the ground. settle down qnon. and many are satisfied with that explanation. those who deal with chicken farmers every day are not. they are noticing their chickens are not laying eggs or as many eggs. they're not sick with avian flu they're just not producing eggs. healthy hens lay eggs on a

regular basis. suddenly chicken owners across the country, a lot of them, are reporting they're not getting any eggs or as many. what is causing that? something is causing that. some say the chicken feed maybe response i believing. >> is the commercial feed the reasons that people's chickens are not laying at all? this is a question i'm asking myself. i have seen all over tik tok and facebook, all over everywhere. chick skpepbz tons of people having no eggs for six, seven months this. is not normal. >> i have at least sixty hens that should be laying. i have a flock roughly of a hundred. i had two to three eggs all summer long. i generally think it's the feed. especially after seeing so many people having the same problems. switching to a local feed and it fixing itself. >> why did we put that clip on

tv? because the chicken owner speaks for all chuck en owners and an expert on avian issues. probably not. those who should be keeping track don't because they don't care. instead of going to the usual sources at the ag department or call the white house press office we decided to listen to people who have chickens. that lady says she switched her chicken feed and it solved her problem. the chickens have been laying eggs immediately. the feed there is producer pride made by p purina. they make most chicken feed and they make a cattle feed that has been removed from shelves. there was a good chance you shouldn't feed it to livestock. wouldcould that be happening ag? we don't know. nobody is keeping track of this.

it's not just producer pride. some have concerns about other brands from pur even afplt we p. we reached out to the company. they said they have looked into it and the feed is not the problem. that maybe true. we don't know. what we noticed was the explanation was more than enough for most media companies. trained as they are to accept corporate press releases as the final word on any given topic. they said it's not a problem. it's not a problem. we don't think it's the last word. we can't tell you for certain either way. we can tell you, this is the point, america's food supply is a topic worth being a little paranoid about. this isn't a matter of how many trans pacific islander oboists we have. this is on the question of food. the question that empires rise and fall. in this case, eggs, chicken

products are major sources of proteins for most americans. you need protein to live if you don't have enough you get protein d deficiency. this could flower into a actual public health crisis. it's also potentially a national security problem. smugglers are trafficking eggs across the border. watch this. >> here at the busy san seed row border crossing in california word traveling on a new item smuggled into the us. a 108% increase in seized egg products and poultry people trying to smuggle through u.s. ports of eatery in the last two months. are we being paranoid about the american food supply? yes we are. we are proud of it. our leaders should be pair freud always about our food supply.

food, energy, water. the three things that matter. the rest of it is noise. as usual they're ignoring what matters. conner blackman is the urban chicken farmer. he has had problems and joins us. conner thank you for coming on. welcome to your avian friend. what do you think is going on here? what has your experience been? >> thank you for having me on. it's an honor. i have had chickens for nearly four years. there are certain reasons i thought i haven't gotten chick tprebz my eggs in over a year as a lot of people watching may know during the winter time, especially in colder states like wisconsin and new york chickens take a break. if you get five eggs a week from the chicken that chicken will probably lay one egg a week during the winter. that's not the case here in south florida. i haven't gotten, i'm sorry i

haven't got not eggs from my chickens since before july or july i admitted hi a problem. i tried many things to fix it. before i even thought it was the feed. it wasn't something i considered. i saw a video about it. i made a video about it. clearly resonatepugh with a lot of people. another thing that some people will say, is that your chickens are older. that's true some of my chickens are older. let me show you this egg. i know which chick laid the egg this. is from an easter egger. all of my easter eggers are three and a half years old. i haven't had a green egg like that in over a year, tucker. >> tucker: you make this video. it goes out to social media. this isn't a small thing. you're a small egg producer. the question of what is going on with the egg supply is a matter of national concern. did anyone from us da reach out to you?

>> nothing, tucker. i haven't heard anything from these, you know giant companies that make the food and also seem to be producing eggs as well. you know that concerns me. >> tucker: to bottom line it for us. again this is a subject we're not experts, we're not making claims here. when you changed the feed for your chickens did you notice a difference. >> absolutely, tucker. i believe my video was made about 12 days ago. 2 or p days after i changed the food. immediately after changing the food i got eggs from my younger chickens. i have a bowl full of eggs and many others once i met with the camera crew. i was jaw dropped. i haven't so many eggs in a single day. it's more than a year. before last winter. >> tucker: well, think you're playing closer attention then the biden administration. thank you for that. hunter

blackman, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: now no mat are how cynical are you about the media, it may not consider they're for sale. the national news media can be bought given enough money and represent you favorably and attack those who disagree with you. the stories around fsx and pfizer that is clear. if you ask journalists about this they're ashamed. that's prostitution not journal. >> i. politico in washington is not ashamed all. if you send them enough money they will run your ads and publish stories attacking anyone who criticizes you without disclosing a conflict of interest at any point. they have done this for a period of time. they're not the only ones that do it. we noticed because they attacked us.

they wrote a piece about whale deaths. as if you can have to be a right wing tore care about the biggest mammals dying on earth. shut up says politico. we have no idea why a dozen whales turned up dead in new jersey. the construction of wind turbines. that's speculation. probably climate change. the story was ridiculous. what we didn't get is that politico was paid to run it. they're taking a lot of money from corporation that's manufacture and profit from commercial wind turbines. this is being ran on be half of the danish wind company. it's looks like a news article. it's not. it's an add. you wouldn't know. it's suppose to fool you. here is the headline. off shore wind, panacea with hurdles.

killing whales no problem. that's how the article begins. the eu has to boost energy productions to meet green energy targets. enter off shore wind. that's the news stories of politico. they're prostitutes and not ashamed. we reached out to them today and asked why didn't you disclose the fact you're a hooker. sorry you're t taking money from off shore wind turbine manufactures in your article about off shore wind turbines. they didn't want to answer that question. oh, shut up. well, chicago truly a disaster, truly. people fleeing because crime is so high. it's not even america anymore. lori lightfoot is still the mayor of the city. how is she responding? she is dancing in the streets. literally. we have the video up next.

>> tucker: city of chicago, a great american city, is being destroyed by crime. not violence by police officers. violence by young people who live there. share mass shooting pretty much every weekended in chicago. lori lightfoot the mayor of the city doesn't seem too concerned.

we have the tape. good evening, max. >> good evening, tucker. i know you will have more and information about the city including the update on mayorlori death tracker. if it wasn't bad enough 2023 is off to an awful start as well. crime rates have skyrocketed by 61% in the first three weeks of 2023 compared to the previous year. that's according to the chicago police. they don't have all the information. a lot of crime is unreported. as count less months grieve over the loss of children and families wrestle with the violence mayor lightfoot is facing criticism for her participation in the lunar parade. dancing in the streets. at a time when this great city

takes punches from both sides. several stores abandon i can the iconic mile. they have about a 30% vacancy rate. it's usually 5%. this is all just happening. this weekend two succumbing to gun shots including a 3-year-old boy. a terrible time for a once great city. >> tucker: shocking. thank you, great to see you tonight. >> you too. >> tucker: the race rights of 2020 were never about george floyd. obviously. they were about changing country forever. the first step was defunding police departments across the country. forcing them to lower standards to attract unqualified applicants. hiring offers on skin color over

integrity. does that result in better policing ? well what happened in memphis a que tpao*u weeks ago is one indicater. at least two of the five officers that beat tyre nichols to death were affirmative action hires. instead of admitting that, it's true, the media are diverting attention from the fact by accusing the five officers who are all black, of some how being white supremacists. >> once again the young back man's death at the hands of police are sparking change for police brutality and racism. >> it's about racism, white supremacy, toxic and over all system of oppression. >> it's nonsense that black and brown officers have not been part of the problem of systemic racism and policing. >> racism.

certainly playing in the death of tyre nichols in memphis. the idea of black and brown people can't internalize white supremacist ways of seeing the world. as a brown man i tell you it's untrue. >> tucker: okay. so tv anchors going to princeton and live in white neighborhoods are telling you a black man's death by five black men is the fault of white people. in new york a rioter punched two police officers. the attacker was rae leased from jail without bail. you thought the defund the police thing stopped? it's accelerated. heather mcdonald knows about this. she is the author of an upcoming book. heather mcdonald, thank you for coming on this. is the tragedy, one you predicted i think. how do you assess what we saw in

memphis? >> well this makes me long for the days, tucker, when we saw so much about blacks not being racist. blacks by definition have power nowhere privilege. now we're at a point where racism is a non viable propositions. the new claim the five officers were indicted for murder is itself a product of racism. so, you know what's an ally to do. the only to do is absolve favored victim groups of all accountability. the larger point is the post george floyd horrors never stop coming. we lost thousand more black lives to drive by shootings. none protested by black live matters activists. now police departments face a retention and recruitment crisis at the same time the pressure is escalating yet again to higher by race. a pressure that began under the

obama administration and more longstanding. this is disaster in policing or medical training. the premise for this, this diversity hiring is not even true. it's not the case that the more black officers you have on a force the less excessive force of brutality you have. the obama administration itself found in philadelphia black and hispanic officers were more likely to shoot blacks than white officers. a 2017 study found more black officers on a force the more black civilians were killed. the story, the naive tiff of police racism and getting rid much standards will solve our crime or policing problems is completely false. it will get worst. >> tucker: ya, i mean this is not to do with racial justice. these are the enemies of

civillation of many colors. they're working on it heather mcdonald, a voice of honesty. i appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the last we checked in on bill gates and jeffrey epstein. he said, he's dead, who cares. thankfully for once the media did something right. and today asked bill gates about jeffrey epstein anyways this. is how this went. >> one issue is your relationship with jeffrey epstein do. you regret the relationship you maintained with him against mel in da's wishes. >> yes. you're going way back in time. >> new audience. >> yes, over a hundredth time i shouldn't of had din werz him. >> epstein had a way of sexually compromising people. is that what melinda was warning you about? >> no. i mean -- no, i had dinner with

him and that's all. > >> tucker: ya, just dinner. what my ex-wife said about the divorce and jeffrey epstein had nothing to do with sex. what did his ex-wife, bill gates, got rich selling horrible software, and buying farm land and what did his ex-wife say? we have the tape. watch this carefully. >> it was widely report pugh that bill had a friendship or business or contact with jeffrey epstein. you were not, that was very upsetting to you. did that play a roll in the divorce at all in this process? >> ya, as i said it's not one thing. it was many things. i did not like that he had meetings with jeffrey epstein, no. >> huh-uh. you made that clear to him. >> i made that clear to him. i also met jeffrey epstein exactly one time. >> did you? >> yes. i wanted to see who this man

was. and i regret it did from the seconds i stepped in the door. he was abhorent, evil personified. i had nightmares about it afterwards. >> tucker: bill gates wife is describing a man, her former husband, who was addicted to see this man jeffrey epstein. why keep going back. why take bill gates seriously? he's very rich but it's not a reason to treat him as a serious person. we should stop. new york has decided to tax tobacco, including cigars. at a rate 7x the tax on marijuana. is a cigar seven times more dangerous tha than a joint? they think so in new york. what is going on here? we will have more on it in a moment with this man.

>> tucker: taxes are not just a way to raise money for the state. it's social control also. with that in meaned new york has a 75% on cigars. they're so dangerous. number of americans killed each year by cigars. not many. a new tax would be increased under a law that looks like it will pass to 95% on cigars in the state of new york. meanwhile the tax on cannabis in new york is 13%. why is that? well lou, a criminal defense attorney on staten island and a cigar. you're aware of disparities why with cigars? 95% on cigars and 13 president on weed that increases your chance of getting schizophrenia.

why is this? >> thank you for having me, tucker. i'm a cigar smoker. it seems like the government won't be happy unless we're all eating kale, drinking carrot juice, and smoking weed. they're not happy with a nice good cigar. to tax something at 95% is absurd. they want to tax is it into extinction. why? you know who is hurt here is the mom and pop cigar shop on the corner. that is who is hurt. not the rich people. you know where they buy the cigars? illill market. the cubans on the illegal market. full boxes that are not taxed. the average joe who wants a nice cigar on the porch with a glass of wine or martini, he's getting hurt. like always, right. >> tucker: ofpbg as always. i don't understand the justification for it if you

moderately smoke cigars and don't inhale them and burn like ten a day, the health risk is negligent. it's true. clearly no public health crisis for cigar smoking of all things. what is this? >> tucker, i don't know. i can't explain it. all i can explain to you is everything we seem to enjoy whether it's a glass of red wine, a drink, a nice cigar. they're going to tax. you know what is next, tucker. i brought a prop. you know what is coming next. the elites at da vos have warned us for this. red meat. a big fat steak that. is what they're taxing next. that's what they're taxing next. red meat. it's coming, tucker. we enjoy that. >> tucker: of course. taking someone's pleasure away is the ultimate sign of power. lou, great to see you tonight. keeping smoking them. >> thanks for having us, tucker.

>> tucker: thank you. here is a story that is has been forgotten. tory the driving force behind the war in ukraine threatened to blow up the pipelines so russia couldn't send gas to europe. remember this. >> i want to be clear with you today. if russia invades u crane one way or another this will not move forward. >> tucker: so then in september someone blew up the pipelines the the biggest man made environment al disaster in history. if you're worried about climate change you should be in tears. it's clear the biden administration was involved in this. we said that. we were denounced by the last and the media, agents of putin. why are they doing this? when we join the war on force what will they do? they will punish people.

we will surprised to see tori admit last week she did it watch this. >> senator cruz, like you i am, i think the administration is gratified to know that norstream two is now a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea. >> tucker: oh, she's excited about it. when it happened she said we were upset. if you think we have a hand in this you are putin. what are we watching here. congress woman, thank you for coming on. now they're admitting this and not saying anything. why? >> think there are two really important things for the american people to take away what you have outlined here. one, the statement from her exposed her and the administration's truth. they have been lying to us. there is no way the united states was not involved or new about this or at the minimum approved it so they have been

lying to us. deceiving us saying the united states had nothing to do with this. also trying to sell us the absurd lie that, of course russia some how bombed their own exploded their own energy infrastructure to hurt their own economic interest. it shows how stupid they think we are to buy this. the lie shows us we can't trust what they're saying the. the narratives from the mainstream media. the second thing to recognize and is dangerous they're setting a precedence through her statements and actions. that it's now acceptable to go and essentially use sabotage against infrastructure as an acceptable strategy. we have to look at our own vulnerabilities. under sea cables, communication systems, financial systems, power energy vulnerability. the list goes on and on.

the argument is very clear. if it's okay to go after and bomb and destroy russia's oil and gas infrastructure. why is it not okay for someone to exploit our own, our own vulnerabilities are. this is the position the war mongers in washington have put us into. we saying we're trying to protect you, but their actions are making us less safe and under minding our democracy. we can't trust what our leaders are telling us. > >> tucker: they don't care about democracy at. announcer: >> no. >> tucker: mark my word they have denounced you as a disloyal american serving your country in uniform. >> this is where it's up to the american people. we're, like where is there hope? the hope lies in our hands to fire, get rid of the lying war

monge ring politicians. stop listening to the crap of big media and tech is putting out. stand up for security and freedom. >> tucker: amen. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: speaking of lying a pfizer employee was caught on tape admitting the company gained research on covid making it more dangerous than needed. we calderon it out. we were ignored and pfizer was silent. now the daily mail has joined the media coverage and pfizer has responded to the video. we will tell what you they said next.

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.

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 ♪ >> tucker: a video was posted of a pfizer employee saying they are conducting experiments to make coronavirus look more lethal. the national news media on

purpose ignored the story. no one mentioned it on any other television network. daily mail ran a story, god bless them. google who takes a lot of money from pfizer pulled the video off youtube on the grounds it was vaccines misinformation. there was no misinformation in it. today pfizer admit pugh that. 48 hours later they ad milted it was real. they stated this: oh, so you are doing it, huh. ya, but pfizer says they have no choice but do the experiments and keep them secret because the regulators require them. now that's big news if true. which regulators are requiring pfizer to manipulate

coronaviruses ? are these the same regulators that jordan walker said were controlled by pfizer? have we heard this story before like late 20719. we reached out to pfizer. they did not reply and didn't tell us if jordan walker is still overseeing that mrna research. but congress, elected still, maybe the one body that can get an answer by issuing a subpoena to ties tore find out. we hope they do that. last summer the governor of california gavin knew so many decriminalizes loitering that has to do with prostitution. why would you want to do that? it's human trafficking actually. that was written by a state senator calderon scott weiner. he's also the one that decriminalized the intentional spreading of hiv in california. as a result of law that's weiner

has sponsored california has become a hub for human trafficking. not over stating. a report was written on this for city journal. a brave person. ab gail, thank you for coming on. i thought everyone was against human trafficking, but no? >> i, you know the stated intent of the laws. i spoke to senator scott weiner and asked him about this. he said the purpose is to advance the rights of lbgtq. this beneficiary is sex predators. once again. >> tucker: right. >> this is true also of his law to make it so it's no longer automatic that a person will noted up on the sex offender registry. a 24-year-old can have anal or oral sex with a 14-year-old and avoid the sex registry in

california. that's another one of his laws. >> tucker: i don't know how that empowers anybody. that is child molestation. the first seems to help pimps. why would you want that? >> well, honestly it's a mystery. i would encourage people to look past speculating over motives and look at the consequences of the laws. >> tucker: fare point. >> it's a cred you believe boom for sex traffickers. i interviewed vice cops. they said the same. the only ones benefiting are human traffickers. >> tucker: i appreciate you saying that. you don't know someone's motive. you can only measure the stats. you think this is a boom to sex traffickers. >> absolutely. police officers and women at three different antihuman tr-ing organizations from across the street all told me they have seen numbers rise sharply with prostitutes on the streets. they tell me because police

officers can not stop young tkpweurdz and say what are you doing here. do you need help. these women are controlled by their pimps. they're controlled by violence. they're controlled by drug addiction and many are young tkpweurdz. >> tucker: i would think even in california in 2023 most people would be against this. as dressing this up as liberation everyone is afraid to say anything about it? >> that's what i was told again and again. i interviews melissa mel en december. she told me the same. every time she attempted to question one of his bills she was calderon trans phobia. >> tucker: ab gail, thank you for coming on tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: so obviously the people in charge have a problem with mass masculinity. if you tax cigars maybe you're

mad at men being men. you don't hear people speak openly about how to be a man. our next guest has put together a list of rules that are probably pretty helpful. he joins us in just a moment.

>> tucker: about 15 years ago john was working as an investment banker in new york and all over the world. he said, this is pretty -- he decided to expose it on a twitter account documenting the things he saw at work and the attitudes he was very familiar with. we thought we would sit down and talk to him in an episode today. he also wrote a book for men of rules to live by. we asked him about that. here's part of the interview. >> amen. don't let your job define you as

a person. >> that was my experience. >> and my personal favorite, stop talking about where you went to college. [laughter] >> yes, i mean -- >> tucker: at what age can you stop? >> you run around the reservoir at central park, and how many college shirts can you look at? it's very tedious, isn't it? >> tucker: bless you for saying that. appreciate your parents. when they die you become an orphan. act like you've been there before. what does that mean? >> it goes back to early campbell. the houston oilers running back in the 1970s. obviously before my time but he never celebrated a touchdown. i said, earl, don't you celebrate? no, my dad told me, act like you've been there before. you want to go on a private jet. i don't need to see a picture of it. act like you've been there before. >> tucker: you can hear that full conversation on fox nation

at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow. jeff bezos, the world's richest man, broke up with his wife and has a new relationship. how is it going? apparently bezos is putting one of his girl friends into a spaceship and sending him into space. good or bad sign? we'll have an update tomorrow. we'll be back. have a good night with the ones you love. tee you tomorrow. >> hannity: welcome to hannity and tonight a pro-life activist who was raided and arrested by the f.b.i. over a protest outside of an abortion clinic was just acquitted of all charges. he'll join us straight ahead with his first interview. also, we have the exclusive video from the day in question, we'll show you that video. but first, growing calls for justice in the horrific death of tyree nichols. of course, this
