rick, kansas city, missed you at the super bowl parade in kansas city. may be you'll get one next year. well, screw you, rick. you guys cheated. that's all for tonight. dvr the show. "tucker" is up next. always remember, i'm watters. this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we haven't taken a poll, but it's possible on this thursday evening, you may be wondering what the hell is going on in our country. there are so many unanswered questions. some of them lingering. how, for example, did senile hermit joe biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss rock star crowd surfer barack obama? results like that would seem to

defy physics. was the 2020 election a miracle? honestly we don't know and don't expect an answer tonight. let's move into immediate questions, like weird things shooting in the sky over the united states and canada that nobody can positively identify these things. should we be worried about these things? what about the infrastructure, that the biden administration has shown strange contempt for, possibly because they were built by the white construction workers that mayor pete dislikes so much. our critical infrastructure appears to be falling apart. is that a problem? or can we in the brand-new transhumannist future our leaders envision feed ourselves with mckenzie consultants alone? if we can, how do they taste? you may be wondering all of this, or maybe none of it, because you have no clue what we're talking about because the media hasn't told you about it.

a press corps that ignores a mushroom cloud over ohio will ignore pretty much anything. in case you're not up-to-date here's a partial recap of events. last night there was a massive and as yet unexplained fire at a plant nursery south of orlando. the fire burned more than two acres of plastic planters. burning plastic releases bad chemicals, including dioxins. when a single plastic beaker melted in stanford's science building last year, the school evacuated the wear, but outside orlando there was no evacuation. residents were told to stay in their homes. none of the environmentalists in the biden administration, the people who care ostentatiously to care about the environment say anything about it. nor did they have anything to say about what happened in tucson tuesday. a tractor-trailer rolled over on i-10.

everybody was told to shelter in place. two hours later they lifted the shelter in place order. then they reinstated it for a 1 mile perimeter around the incident. they told residents to, quote, turn off heaters and/or air conditioning symptoms that bring in outside air. ooh, outside air. no air for you. why did they give this order? because the first order it turns out was wrong. it wasn't safe for people to move back into their homes. just as in east palestine, ohio, authorities for whatever reason exposed people to dangerous chemicals. if this is incompetence, there seems to be a lot of it lately. then today it nearly happened again. a freight train derailed about 30 miles west of downtown detroit. it's a norfolk southern train, the same train that derailed in east palestine, ohio.

if the information we're getting tonight is accurate, the car containing liquid chlorine did not overturn. apparently. that's however you slice it a lot of drama on our roads and rails in a single week. who's in charge? that's the secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg, he's in charge. he was asked about it today. in response, he pointed out that train derailments are not a big deal. settle down. they're very common. train derailments happen on average nearly three times every day. >> it's evolved a lot over the years, but clearly more needs to be done, because while this horrible situation has gotten particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing. >> tucker: wait a second. you think east palestine is a big deal? a thousand trains derail every year in the united states says

pete buttigieg, who presumably has the stats on it. did you know that? are you okay with a thousand trains a year derailing in your country? don't a lot of these trains carry highly dangerous chemicals through highly populated areas? yeah. so if you were pete buttigieg, put yourself in his tiny position for a moment, if you were him, wouldn't fixing that, this ongoing disaster, be your very first priority? of course it would be, but you're not pete buttigieg. pete buttigieg doesn't care about trains derailing. he cares about equity. trains derailing? that's fine. you're fine. you're so fine that people show up to test the air in the water after a train derailment wearing hazmat suits, because the air and water are perfectly safe, as long as you're wearing a hazmat suit. see. there's a simple solution to this. stop whining. what does norfolk southern think about all of this? we don't know, because they

skipped the town hall last night in east palestine. hundreds gathered to ask pressing questions like why are thousands of fish and animals dying? why? executives at norfolk southern didn't show up at the event? why? they were worried for their own safety. >> why is the railroad not here? >> they're scared for their safety. >> hundreds of anxious residents packed a school gym in east palestine on wednesday night, looking for answers almost two weeks after a huge train derailment released hazardous chemicals into their town, contaminating much of the surrounding area. but there were notable absences from the town hall meeting, including the rail operator, norfolk southern. also not attending, transportation secretary pete buttigieg. the mayor says he's had limited contact with the white house, leaving folks here frustrated, angry, and complaining about a lack of information from the feds and norfolk southern. state and the epa say the water and air are both safe, but residents tell a different story. they say they've been getting

sick, and so have their pets. >> tucker: it's so safe we're not going there. our oxygen tanks are empty. by the way, there are elderly low-income people on crutches there. you don't feel safe around them? but from the perspective of the people who live in east palestine, it looks different. you would think, if you live in the united states, and you send by force at gunpoint half of your annual pay to washington someone in washington would care when your town is poisoned by a train derailment. oh, but you thought wrong. who do you think you are? ukrainian? nobody cares about you. is this kyiv? no. it's ohio. shut up. the biden administration has other priorities, by the way, like shooting down $300 weather balloons with $400,000 missiles. yes, apparently they did that. joe biden himself admitted it today. >> we don't know yet exactly what these three objects were, but nothing right now suggests they were related to china spy balloon program or that that they were surveillance vehicles

from any other country. intelligence community's current assessment is that the three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or conducting scientific research. >> tucker: the intelligence community. air quotes now required. the kids sent up a balloon up, and we sent a sidewinder after it. mission accomplished. a lot of questions that emanate quite naturally from that bewildering announcement, but joe biden didn't take any of them. he scampered off without taking questions. be gone, serfs. biden knows he doesn't have to answer the questions, because what are are you going to do about it? actually they're starting to worry about it. the people in charge are stupid obviously, but they're not so dim they don't understand the consequences of seriously mistreating the company over a period of many years. they're starting to get worried.

they're afraid of the people they govern. how do we know that? because they're moving at high speed to disarm the people they govern. here's plastic surgery model gavin newsom of california last month. >> this is our decision to live in these conditions. doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. we've chosen this, accepted this. we can say thoughts and prayers, or look in the mirror and say this is the price is of whatever, fill in the blank. freedom? this is the price of freedom? freedom from what? >> tucker: prayer? ha-ha-ha! how stupid is prayer says gavin newsom. people of prayer are idiots. i'm the only god here. bow down before me. you can no longer defend yourselves. only i have the right to defend your life. think about that for a minute. it's not a reassuring message really. anyone who strips you of your basic god-given right to self-defense is probably not your friend. anyone who does it in a moment

of chaos like the ones we're living through, chaos that people like gavin newsom caused on purpose, anyone who does that is probably your blood enemy. gavin newsom is not alone. gritten whitmer of michigan has the same message. stop praying and obey. watch. >> firearms are getting more dangerous too, thanks to 3-d printed technology called glock switches that turn semiautomatic weapons fully automatic. that's why we launched operation safe neighborhoods, taking hundreds of illegal firearms off-the-street before they can be used in the commission of a crime, but we must do more. so the world our kids inherit is not more violent than the one we inhabit now. the time for only thoughts and prayers is over. [cheers and applause] >> tucker: another low iq

plastic surgery disaster lectures us about things she has no understanding of. so laugh at gretchen whitmer if you will. think about what she's saying. she's mocking prayer. really? now that you mention it gretchen whitmer, we might use prayers. prayer works better than equity, safer than norfolk southern, prayers are more comforting than kamala harris' laugh. there's nothing wrong with prayers. what we don't need more is totalitarian atheists with designs on our life. got enough of those, including you. so when they're telling you that the two things you cannot have are guns and prayer, you know for a fact that those are the two things you need most. we're seeing a lot of evidence of that lately. abandoned by their government to a world politicians have intentionally made chaotic, americans are protecting themselves. they have no choice. here's one recent and inspiring example from the state of arizona. >> if he hadn't had a gun my gun

never would have come out of. that's all there to is. >> it was around 5:15 when the suspect walked into the chevron where he works the graveyard shift. >> i heard him say, "rob, money." in all reality, he didn't need to say anything. it was obvious. >> suspect pointed the gun at brian, but then brine pointed the weapon at a customer, and that's when brian took action. >> when he turned around, the clerk got out his own firearm and shot the suspect, and was able to defend himself at that time. >> i'm supposed to relieve him, and i saw everything. oh, my god. luckily my -- the other employee is okay. >> had the suspect walked in 30 minutes later, brian says his cowork would have been behind the register as terrifying as the situation was he's glad he was the one to be there. >> tucker: we're living through the most political moment in american history, but stories

like the one you just saw transcend politics. we don't know who anyone in that tape voted for, but we know exactly how they felt as human beings, afraid and alone. that's what happens when the government ceases conducting its most basic duty, which is to protect its citizens. they won't. they won't protect you. they've said that out loud and everybody knows it. again, nobody who they voted for. increasingly americans have to defend themselves. once again, anyone who tells you you can't defend yourself is your enemy. so here's an example that is amazing, and we think you'll agree that it is. in tampa last month a woman was working out in her apartment complex's gym. because she's a kind person, she let in a man who was trying to open the door. that man then attempted to rape her. you're seeing the footage on your screen right now. she did not have a gun. she was in a gym. she's extraordinarily tough and able to fight off the man trying to rape her.

his name is xavier thomas jones. thomas jones was later arrested after he tried to rape another woman in the apartment complex. the resilience and strength you see in that video is so inspiring, so perfectly captures the best part of america that we wanted to speak to her tonight. she's gracious enough to agree and joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. anyone who watches that video has to stand back in ahh at your voracity. this man is bigger than you, totally determined to hurt you. you literally fought him off. what were you thinking? >> in my head, you know, whenever it was happening, i wasn't really fearful at all. in my head, i got to fight him. i got to do something, you know. he was equal to me. he was bigger than me. he wasn't anymore than my size. i fought him.

>> tucker: there's a moment in the tape. so interesting. he comes toward you, he hasn't even grabbed you yet, and you've determined this guy is an enemy. you don't lie to yourself. you immediately go after him. a lot of people don't do that. they lie to themselves. why were you able to know exactly what this man's intention was? >> right. it's because my mom always told me, don't let anybody approach you or touch you if you don't know them. as soon as he approached me, i knew i had to push him off or do something. >> tucker: you certainly did do something. you were so ferocious with him he finally gave up. >> yeah. after a little bit of wrestling on the ground, he yanked on his beard hairs, and he eventually gave out. >> tucker: this is the scene i think that a lot of people, women particularly fear, you're alone in the gym at night, and some rapist comes in and tries to literally rape you. what advice would you give people watching? >> you know, like i said, some

people forget their key fob, and let people in, but always be cautious, always watch your back. if you're ever in that situation, fight back. >> tucker: amen. amen. fight back. it's just wonderful. thank you for what you did. congratulations. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, more than a week ago, students at asbury university in kentucky gathered for a service? the school chapel. in the most honest possible terms a voice revealed his deepest thoughts, confessions. people said they could feel a spirit, they said, that made them feel joyful and liberated. the church service never ended. it's still going on tonight. we told you about it last night. we interviewed the school's student body president. after the show, we were still thinking about it. we don't understand what's happening at asbury.

we're not sure does understand it. but whatever is going on, seems like a sort of thing we badly need more of. we started making plans to go to kentucky on friday, tomorrow, to see the service for ourselves. then this morning, a remarkable thing happened. we got a call from asbury university asking us not to come. it's not personal, they said. they like our show, but the ongoing service at asbury is purely spiritual, nothing to do with politics or business. no one there is making money from it or planning a run for office. it's young people worshiping god in a country that doesn't offer it. it's not really a place for tv cameras. we understood that. in fact, we deeply respected it. when you work in television, you run into a lot of people who want publicity. you almost never meet anyone who doesn't want publicity. when you do meet those that don't, they're either doing something wrong or in the rarest of all cases they're doing something so right and so

beautiful and so true that media coverage can't enhance it. it can only detract from it. we think that's what's happening at asbury university. god bless them for turning us down. news tonight on senator john fetterman of pennsylvania, his eight. plus, joe biden went in for a medical checkup today. the results just came in. all of that straight ahead for you.

>> tucker: several times, probably several hundred times, over the past 6 1/2 years we've brought you updates on the ongoing disaster that is mr. don lemon, and tonight seems like a perfect opportunity to bring you an update. fortunately there's too much. we want to assure viewers that tomorrow night is the payoff for the update. it's news to no one that john fetterman is unfit to serve the united states senate, unfit to run for office, but the cynical people around him, including his cynical wife, pushed him to do it, because of their lust for power, and because of the machine in pennsylvania he end up winning. a disgrace to democracy, but that's where we are.

now a month into his term as a senator, we have another major and sad update about john fetterman's health. trace gal has more. trace? >> when you read the press releases about the news articles about senator fetterman going back into the hospital, the word "voluntary" pops up a lot, as if his staff is trying to emphasize this is 100% his choice. we know that john fetterman is now at walter reed medical center being treated for clinical depression, which he's reportedly suffered off and on all his life, and getting the care he needs and will soon be back to himself. the hospital, nor his staff, did not say what happened or what the process is, but only say the doctor has recommended that fetterman get inpatient care. the fetterman spent three days last week in the hospital because he was feeling

light-headed, but doctors ruled out another stroke or seizure. you'll recall, he suffered a stroke on the campaign trail in may of last year that was nearly fatal. the effects of the most auditory processing and speech issues were prevalent throughout the campaign, and are still to this day. fetterman's staff is now telling nbc news that his difficulties with communication have also had an impact on his relationship with his family. so has his time away from them, because of his senate duties. of course that brings up the very same question many asked back in the fall, which is was becoming a u.s. senator simply too much too soon? tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher reporting tonight. thank you so much. >> you bet. >> tucker: of course every decent person feels sorry for john fetterman, and sincerely hopes that he overcomes his cognitive problems, his physical problems, and his mental illness, but there are still millions of pennsylvanians who were hoping he could represent

them in the united states senate. they're now being unrepresented, because he's in in an inpatient psychiatric facility. what about them? it not just about his personal journey of recovery, but it's about millions of other people. so keep them in your prayers too. joe biden speaking out had the second physical of his presidency today. according to the white house physician, the physical demonstrates that joe biden is -- we're quoting -- a healthy vigorous 80-year-old male, which may seem like an oxymoron, but whatever. he has afib, spinal arthritis and other conditions. he did not take a cognitive test. the white house is not making the white house physician available for questions, of course, but we have, thank heaven, dr. marc segal to joins us. what do you make of this? >> tucker, you already got the key point, which is this physical exam is more significant for what it leaves out than what it actually tells

us. it tells us he's got allergies, reflux, spinal stenosis in his spine, arthritis in his spine. they're trying to say on this physical something that we've been talking about for a year, which is where's the stiff gait he has coming from. they're saying it's coming from peripheral neuropathy, meaning loss of sensation in his feet, and arthritis of the spine. here's my problem with that. they're basing that on a physical examination of multiple doctors but no mri. i don't see anywhere in there about an mri. since the 1980s, i want to tell you, dr. o'connor, we don't say no multiple sclerosis, no stroke, no problems with water on the brain, causing cognitive problems, we do an mri. where's the mri? and also, you already said it, where's the cognitive test? we have a cognitive era a day at least for this president, who the other day said 20,000 pounds

of fentanyl was enough to kill a thousand people. how about 4 billion people? he calls kamala harris, the president, or forget a congressperson's name, one who has died, thinks is in the audience. it's getting worse. his own son said died in iraq. this has to be examined. then listen to this. a stiff gait is sometimes a sign of cognitive problems. an mri, a cognitive test. now, listen, tucker, i know 80-year-olds that are operating still. we know 90-year-olds who are amazing. but it's not about age, even though most americans say he's too old to run again. i say it's about fitness, tucker. >> tucker: yeah. so it's obvious that it's insulting to the rest of us. we appreciate your expertise in analyzing these results. dr. siegel, thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: if you could pick one demographic in the united states, one profile, universally

reviled, hated by the people in charge, the residents of east palestine. they're effectively being ignored. j.d. vance is from that world, not ignoring them at all. he went there today and will tell us what he found.

you know what the number one best-selling book in the world is? it's the bible. it's been that year after year, after year, after year. it's the number one selling book in all of history. why? because it's god's word. it's god's word from cover to cover. every word is true. do i understand it all? no, but i believe it all. and if you put your faith and trust in god, whose word never changes, you'll never be disappointed. see god tells us in his word that he loves us, and he sent his son from heaven to this earth to take our sins, that he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins. if you've never trusted jesus as your savior, do it right now.

just pray this prayer with me. just say, god, i'm a sinner. i'm sorry. i want to turn from my sins. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him as my savior and follow him as my lord. amen. if you prayed that prayer, call that number right now that's on the screen. we've got people that would like to speak with you, pray with you but if you don't have a bible, tell them and they'll send you one. god bless you.

>> tucker: after ignoring the disaster in east palestine, ohio, for nearly two weeks, the biden administration now says the area is totally safe, just as long as you're wearing a hazmat suit, or better yet as long as you don't actually visit. all the dead fish and chlorine smell in the area, whatever, totally normal, your nose does not know. j.d. vance is a senator from the state of ohio. he's also from ohio. he has some questions. so he went to east palestine, which seems like a simple step. a lot of people can't manage it, but he did. after visiting, he challenged the epa administrator to drink a glass of tap water in the town

of east palestine. weirdly michael regan has not accepted the challenge. ha-ha. we are grateful to have senator j.d. vance of ohio with us tonight. senator, thank you so much for coming on. ha-ha. i notice a lot of people reassuring us about how fine east palestine is don't really want to go there. in fact, they avoided going there. do you think regan will drink the tap water? >> ha-ha. i don't suspect that he will, tucker. a lot of residents unfortunately are not comfortable drinking the tap water either. it's easy not to see why, tucker. the thing i came away after visiting today is that, one, residents are very, very scared obviously, but they're also not getting answers from their shorts about exactly what's going on, what's being done to clean up the disaster. on that point in particular, tucker, the railroad has completely failed to clean up the toxic soil leaking into the riverways, into the waterways, and into the groundwater. so there's this question about

testing, whether we're testing the water enough. the question that i have is why haven't they cleaned up the contaminated soil that's going to eventually contaminate the groundwater no matter what? >> tucker: so you've been criticized for suggesting that maybe people who are still in east palestine drink bottled water, and that's scare mongering because apparently we should follow the signs and do what we're told. why would someone criticize you for counseling caution? >> you know, i have no idea, tucker. i think there's a complete refusal to deal with the fact that a lot of residents are freaked out on the ground. obviously people want to get back to their lives. we also want to know they're safe. what's very clear, if you talk to the epa, if you talk to the cdc, they cannot tell us what a clean threshold is for the water. so on the one hand you have to measure the water to know how much of this contaminant is in. on the other hand, you have to know at what level the

contaminant is low enough that it's clean water, that it's safe for humans to drink. we've been completely unable to get a good answer from any federal authorities to that question. if i can get that answer, and i'm a united states senator, that suggests that the people of east palestine, who want to be cautious, have every right to do it. the simple fact is, tucker, that unless we go in and study the effect of vinyl chloride on human beings, we'll never be able to say with confidence what will happen to the residents of east palestine. they want to rebuild their community. they want to get back to normal life. they can't do it unless the government does its job. >> tucker: that's right. by the way, if you say you're an environmentalist and care about the environment, you should care about the air and soil and the water. climate is not the environment. j.d. vance, senator from ohio, who took the time to visit one of those his own communities, we appreciate it. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: a woman who lives in

east palestine did not get answers from last night's town hall meeting. sheds the water in her pond is now rainbow-colored. we can confirm that's not natural. courtney, thank you very much for coming on. you went to the town hall meeting last night. did you learn anything? >> i did. >> tucker: what did you learn? >> we got no answers. >> tucker: yeah. >> nothing. absolutely nothing. people were getting more upset and we got up and left. they told they were supposed to know what was on that train because it was hazardous materials. at first it was one chemical, then two chemicals. the paper that they gave us last night had six different chemicals, hazardous chemicals, listed on the paper, saying that that's what was on the train. nobody knows what's on the train. we're getting the run around. nobody wants to touch the water. i'm not sure if you saw the twitter video.

last i checked it was up to 2.4 million views in a couple of hours of me throwing a rock in the creek bed behind my house. the epa says that it's fine to drink. dewine said it was fine. all of a sudden now we have to drink bottled water. but who's paying for that bottled water? we are. wildliwe have to pay for it. a lot of us are on welfare, don't have extra money, because it gets expensive, especially io your skin? do we have to bath in bottled water? who's paying for this? we are. we have to. when i threw that rock in the twitter video, and you could see all of that disgusting rainbow-colored stuff coming up, i made sure that i bottled it. i bottled it, labeled it, dated it. so dewine and the epa, here's their bottle of water fa they

can drink while they're making us go to the store and buy in bottled water that we have to drink when i'm a single mother, i have two children, and i don't have a vehicle currently so i have to walk to the store and carry a case of water and tote around a 9-year-old and 5-year-old walking to and from a store to get bottled water. where's our help? what about the people who can't walk to the store who don't have vehicles? why is no one out here helping us? where is everyone? why is dewine not doing his job? why is fema not here? why aren't we getting answers when we were supposed to get answers? >> tucker: maybe dewine will show up. you guys voted for him. you put him there. maybe he'll take out of his busy schedule to show up. i hope so. corky miller, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> you're welcome.

thank you. >> tucker: for years now, we've been told if you work at a big company, you were forced to declare your pron pronouns. why? what's really going on here? what is the pronoun thing about? we'll take a look at it next.

♪ no. ♪ -no. -nuh-uh. ♪ yeah. oh. yes. ♪ oh yeah. yes. isn't this great? yeeaahhhh!! ♪ yeah, i could do a cartwheel in here. oh hey! would you like to join us? no. we would love to join you. ♪

>> tucker: so this state your pronouns thing has been going on for years, but nobody has explained what it's about. it's crystal-clear what sex somebody is, we've had a million years of training whether someone is the opposite or same-sex. unless you're pat from "saturday night live," there's no question. if there's a question whether you're a man or woman, interested parties can ask you directly. so this is nonsensical. to call your pronouns is a ritual actually, a strictly enforced ritual, without an obvious purpose, but of course

there's a purpose. pronouns are a secret handshake that alerts everybody else in the cult that you're also a member. more profoundly, declaring your pronouns is a propaganda tool, an ideological weapon. declaring your pronouns is an attempt to sew uncertainty in order to undermine the reality of biological sex. so you post your pronouns in your twitter bio, you're saying male and female are such fluid categories that it's entirely possible my sex could change tomorrow so i better keep my twitter bio updated so you'll know. but it's a lie, the most basic of all lie, because sex is the basic of most facts, sex like height and eye color is fixed. cannot be changed. you're born one sex, and you will die that same-sex, no how much plastic surgery you have or drugs you take.

whether you're a man or woman, it's obvious. it's offense in your bone structure, in the way that your mind works. yes, that's true. your sex can be detected in a blood test. your sex is the most basic and unchanging biological fact about you. so pretending otherwise is ridiculous. it's also completely dishonest. anyone who participates in a pronoun ritual is an idiotic herd animal and/or propagandist. who does participate and why? ask yourself, do we really need to know? kamala harris participates. go to her twitter page, and you'll see the answer. ask yourself. are you looking at a man or a woman? come to think about it, we can't tell. check her bio. he's a woman. how about elizabeth warren? is they a man or woman? see for yourself. are you confused? well, elizabeth warren's twitter bio hope tells us, she/her and

hers. elizabeth warren is a woman, ladies and gentlemen, according to twitter. we haven't checked wikipedia, but she's telling us. sandy cortez, also a woman, according to her own twitter page. in case you were wondering, how confused where you. pete buttigieg. a man. he uses he/him pronouns. see, it's clear. they all do -- well, not all of them. the one kind of big-time public figure in the democratic party who does not include clarifying sex pronouns in her twitter bio? michelle obama. hmm. well, if there's one good thing about the effort to stifle and censor comedy, it's that the people doing it are not geniuses. sometimes the effort to censor backfires in spectacular fashion. that's what happened when twitter banned the babylon bee for making fun of rachel lavine.

elon musk was so mad he bought twitter. ha-ha-ha. that didn't work. we made a documentary about the ststate of the death of comedy, question mark. when concert with the mainstream media, the tech metropolitans moved to crush the babylon bee. >> facebooks fact-checked it, and rated it false. it's absurd. it's a silly washing machine joke. it's not even funny. what's funny, they fact-checked it. >> it shows their complete lack of self-awareness. >> seems clear there's a political bias going on just in the way they were treating us differently than other comedians and satirists.

when the onion would publish a story that would get fact-checked, because it went viral, oh, well, this came from the onion, a satire site. it's a check. we could get fact-checked for saying the ninth circuit court overruled the death of ruth bader ginsburg. to have these rated false, they try to cast it in a negative light, where these aren't just jokes, they're not harms jokes, they're misinforming people and it's malicious, and that's our motivation. >> my concern is when you start defining content that intends to degrade, my goodness. >> you know, big tech companies kind of leverage that, use that, as a reason to threaten us with deplatforming, demontiization, whatever, and work in concert with each other. we see that we've been treated differently. the difference is, we have

different values, we have different views, and make jokes at the expense of the popular narrative instead of in an effort to promote the popular narrative. they want you to be silenced or join them in affirming these things or celebrating these things, and anything else is unacceptable. >> twitter's censorship of the babylon bee caught the attention of elon musk. musk understood when they silenced the comedians civilization is at stake. >> comedy is illegal? you want a humorless society rife with condemnation and hate. >> it wasn't like he went and bought twitter to free the babylon bee from twitter jail, but he bought twitter so people like the babylon bee could have a voice. >> tucker: the documentary is called "the death of comedy?"

we think it's significant. also funny. out right now on fox nation. we recommend it. we told you a story several weeks ago about military base in the united states not dedicated to defending the country from foreign invaders. no, we've got 5 million of those. but that it spends its time trying to punish a local mother who complained about her kid's school on facemask. on facebook. turns out the military was involved in censorship, and controlling the population more than we imagined. an update next.

decided the real purpose of the u.s. military is not to protect the country from foreign invaders but to protect the people in charge from the u.s. population? back in december, we told you about a mother in new jersey called angela ring. she had gone on facebook to complain about her children's elementary school.

she wanted the school to stop sexualizing her children. a military officer in new jersey called major chris shilling and publicly declare ring was a threat to her community, an enemy. now we're learning the entire military base was involved in this political suppression. angela redding joining us to explain. what have you learned? >> thank you for having me. last time i was on, i assumed i think i said on air this was one rogue military official and a police chief. come to find out, after a government document request, i was able to see behind the scenes that 16 government officials were actively trying to suppress my speech, call me a terrorist, and extremist. and even reported me to homeland security, the counterterrorism unit at our state police and the coup bty prosecutor's office. it's absolute insanity. 17b it's scary that our government is treating law abiding citizens this way.

17b. >> has anyone apoll jazzed to you from the base. >> absolutely not. everyone is still in their positions. >> every single officer involved should be fired. we'll be back. have the best time with the ones you love. see you tomorrow.
