joe on this trip to ukraine? bob from fort myers, florida. big thumbs up for the tower of power. i'm the only show in cable that plays funk. we want to keep it that way. that's it for us. dvr us. tucker is next. always remember, i'm waters and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson." people used to tell you that donald trump is stupid. he's an idiot. we're not going to tell you to turn the white house over to jared kushner. it was not. if we're being honest, donald trump had far wiser instincts about american foreign policy than any leader in at least a generation. he did it without the help of

anyone. none of his advisers wanted to hear his views on foreign policy. they wanted trump to be quiet. he wouldn't. what is the point of nato he asked 30 years after the fall of soviet union. shut up racist. trump kept going. why would we fight russia, he wondered. wouldn't making russia our enemy drive putin in to the arms of china and create the most anti-american block in history? nobody bothered to answer him. they impeached him for it and starred a war with putin. in retrospect, trump asked a deeply patriotic question. if russia ever joined forces with china, american global power would end instantly. you'd have the world's largest land mall and the natural gas reserves aligned with the world's population and the world's larger economy.

a russia china axis would be not just more powerful than the united states but much more powerful. it would have the scale to control a lot of the world's economy and trade routes and raw materials. it could project military force that we don't have the power to stop. if russia and china ever got together, would be a brand new world. the united states would be greatly diminished. most americans agree that would be bad. now as donald trump predicted very clearly, that is happening. thanks to joe biden's reckless and self-destructive response to the invasion of ukraine a year ago this week, the economies of russia and china are intertwined. chinese spending on russian goods is more than 60%. chinese shipments to russia are up by nearly 30%. companies like ford and toyota pulled out of russia, they had to, remember that? so what happened next? chinese automakers stepped in. chinese car makers once made

less than 10% of all cars bought in russia. now china makes a third of them. you can see where this is going. same thing happens with smart phones and other consumer goods. the chinese currency is replacing the dollar in moscow. it's up 1% from last year. so these are deep and growing economic ties. they're formal. the thing about economic ties, however, they lead to military ties. so it shouldn't surprise you that china is actively helping russia in the war against nato. which we are leading. in other words, the country with more ships than any navy in the world has united with the country that has more nuclear armed icbms in the world to fight us through proxy in ukraine. that's scary. the thing is, everybody involved seems to know it's scary and

just how scary it is. our leaders understand that their push for total war with putin, which is unnecessary, could lead to the destruction of the west. they know that but they're doing it anyway. in an interview with a german newspaper today, president zelensky mentioned that oh, by the way, the entire world may soon go up in flames. if china aligns itself with russia, there will be a world war. there will be a world war? if china aligns with russia? who would say something like that calmly. since as we just a told you, china is aligned with russia. it's already happened. that's not speculation, it's a fact. as a result of that fact according to zelensky himself, hundreds of millions of people will die. no big deal. as long as we take crimea. this is a very dark way of thinking. president zelensky himself is a very dark force. that is obvious if you watch him.

it's unmistakable. who could not see that? this man is a destroyer. he banned a christian faith in his country and arrested nuns and priests. oh, but he's a hero from chuck schumer to mitch mcconnell. he's not a hero. he's an instrument of total destruction. that's not in defense of his enemies. it's true. maybe that's why joe biden is drawn to him. biden landed in kyiv today to promote another world war. watch. be . >> tucker: note the air raid sirens in the background. what is strange, there were no air raids in kyiv. there were just sirens at precisely the moment that joe biden appeared for a photo open.

even cnn's reporters note that they've been in the city the past five days and didn't hear any bombs or missile strikes or sirens until the moment that biden walked out for the cameras. >> i'm been here the past five days. i not heard any explosions, i've not heard any air sirens until when president biden was in the center of kyiv. >> tucker: right. so here you have the air raid sirens, the touch required in the most tightly scripted and dishonest war in history. the fakest war. the point, of course, is to sell americans on another $500 million in tax dollars for ukraine. the zelensky government. watch this. >> we've committed nearly 700 tanks and thousands of armored vehicles. 1,000 artillery systems. more than two million round of artillery ammunition.

more than 15 advanced launch rocket systems and anti-ship and air defense systems all to defend ukraine. that doesn't account the other half a billion that we're announcing with you today and tomorrow. that's going to be coming your way. that's just the united states in this piece. >> tucker: can anyone see how dark and crazy this is? truly crazy? yes. many americans can see how dark and crazy it is. look at the numbers. how many americans support this war from democracy, this war for democracy that americans for some reason can't vote on? when will we have a national referendum or this? we're levelling a country for democracy. might be nice to try democracy here. it's all so grotesque. it defies imagination. if you're watching this, the

spectacle from east palestine. here you have the president of the united states personally visiting a corrupt foreign autocrat to announce a half a billion dollars more in your tax dollars to go to ukraine. meanwhile now stick in some lost and forgotten part of ohio a state that help builded this country have a mushroom cloud over your city. for more than two weeks after this started with the famous train derailment, fema and the biden administration have refused to provide any kind of financial assistance to you. east palestine still hasn't gotten a visit from joe biden's token transportation secretary, mayor pete. after two weeks, people of east palestine are starting to notice. watch. >> what federal response? >> the white house is understood fire for its response to the east palestine train derailment. >> if it were in washington d.c., it would be cleaned up. >> i've had massive headaches

since this start. >> locals say they're feeling the effects of the toxic chemicals. east palestine melissa blake says two days after the toxic train derailment, doctors diagnosed her with acute bronchitis from chemical fumes. >> it's hard to breathe. the coughing. >> i'm 53. i've had two headaches in my life and i feel like i've had one every day since the controlled burn. >> my kids will never play in my back yard, which makes me sad. it will never be safe for them. >> tomorrow families lined up for a $1,000 check per person. >> $1,000 enough? >> probably not. honestly, not. >> ted murphy doesn't believe officials when they say there's no lingering health risks. >> i have to move. i'm not safe being here. there's no way we're safe. >> nobody cares with. and they know that in east palestine. the contrast from becoming too sharp and obvious. the american border versus the

ukrainian border. one doesn't matter at all. it's racist. the other is so important we'll risk nuclear war to protect it. aids to zelensky, on audited, god knows where it's going, and aid to east palestine. we just can't afford it. the people are not ukrainian. so joe biden is not interested enough to visit. nobody in east palestine thought to pay joe biden's son $80,000 a month. if someone had done that, someone had been wise enough to pay off the biden family eight years ago, things would be different. joe biden might talk to them now. >> come to deliver much-needed humanitarian assistance as much as food, water, shelter and other aids to the ukrainians displaced by russia's war and provide aid for those seeking refuge from ukraine. also going to help schools and hospitals open. it's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the ukrainian people so that they

have something in their pocket. >> tucker: so not everything that winds its way through congress is of equal importance. most legislation in congress means nothing in the long-term. nuclear war means everything in the long-term. so what is the issue on which both parties seem aligned? oh, the issue that matters. so there is no opposition party. both parties seem to agree that the administration that shot down weather balloons with $400,000 heat seeking missiles is capable of navigating an incredibly conflict in eastern europe. no problem. we can pull this off. everybody involved is winston churchill. nobody on the republican side seemed outraged on a gut level that the president of the united states is personally visiting an autocrat in a track suit in kyiv while he ignores the exposure of

thousands of american citizens to toxic chemicals. we can't identify. so republicans in the senate have a leader. you might be interested in what he thinks is important. here he is. >> i'm going to try to help explain to the american people that defeating the russians in ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now. it will save us an enormous amount of money down the road if the ukrainians can succeed. they're not asking for any of our personnel. they're asking us for financial help. >> tucker: so the thing is, that's not rhetoric. mitch mcconnell believes what he just said. i'm going to help -- you couldn't help explain to get from here to the nearest gas station. you're i don't the ability to explain and you're way beyond the ability to lead the opposition in the united states senate. but for some reason, mcconnell and so many other republican leaders and talk show hosts have been completely brainwashed by

the idea that the united states will benefit from a war with russia. now that russia has joined forces with china to create a block against the united states that we cannot defeat, that will control the majority of the world, really? you did that, by the way. you laughed up a trump and here we are facing the end of control of a lot of the world because you so unwisely managed the power that you inherited. what is your answer now, mitch mcconnell? you're welcome on this show any time to explain. tulsi gabbard is a former member of congress, one of the very few people in the world who went on television after this invasion a year ago and said this could get really dangerous. you are right. now that china is aligning with russia in supporting the russian war effort against us, this seems like a massive turning point. >> well, you heard it from zelensky himself. talking about the consequences of world war iii.

the thing is he made it clear that that is where he thinks we are already. that we're in world war iii. ukraine is the tip of the spear. he's making demands of the united states and other nato countries to equip him with the weapons and aircraft and tanks that nato have to fight this war that we are in against russia. he's doing everything that he can to bring us and nato in to this war directly in to conflict with russia. you remember when the ukrainian defense missile defense system unfortunately had a missile that went into poland and killed two civilians on a farm. what did zelensky say? hey, this is a direct attack against a nato ally. u.s. and nato, you might go and attack russia. the scary thing to me, tucker is to hear people like zelensky, to hear democrats and republicans in the united states congress

and biden administration officials speak so calmly and with a straight face about world war iii, how would it be won, how would we respond to the use:0 tactical nuclear weapons. what are our options in the battlefield forgetting what ronald reagan said a nuclear war cannot be won and should never be fought. this world war iii, this path that we're on unless we change course, it will result in nuclear war. all of the nuclear armed countries in the world on this path towards a head-on collision. >> tucker: let me ask you a quick question. zelensky who i think the country has born with great patience said i have a border dispute with you, russia. you live thousands of miles away. because of that border dispute, your whole family could die and i'm okay with that. why aren't americans rising up and saying you're suggesting it's oh way that my family dies?

it's not okay. off the stage. like why are we putting up with this, honestly? >> you look at the lies that americans are being told by president biden, mitch mcconnell and selling this lie that it's about defending freedom and democracy. there's no greater threat to that democracy than this fight against this -- this war against russia. they are the ones undermining our democracy. they are the ones denying the american people our constitutional right to have a say whether or not we go to war or not. it is an affront to the constitution and every single american and we should all be raising hell about, this it's our future, the future of the world at stake. >> tucker: i agree. how much weed are people smoking. this is a real issue.

thanks, tulsi. oliver lives in east palestine. it's a big moment in his life. his fiance gave birth to their child. they cannot use water to the baby formula because it's too dangerous. one of our guests, courtney miller helped out. she delivered water. oliver jones us now. congrat congratulations on the new life entering the world. if you can't feed a baby, isn't that by definition a disaster? >> first, tucker, thank you. yes, it's very concerning that we're unable to use the tap water. the water in our own house to make baby formula and feed our child. >> tucker: what is it like -- we haven't been there. i'm embarrassed to say. everybody says the smell is still present. the chemical smell. anybody explained to you what that smell is and the implications are for you?

>> the smell is still lingering. you catch it in bits. we haven't really been explained what it is or any sort of side effects. we're still being left more orless in the dark. >> tucker: we're hearing reports that the public doesn't really know what chemicals were spilled when that train derailed. do you since you're suffering the direct effects of that derailment, you think you know what chemicals you're being exposed to? >> not 100%. you know, the manifest has been released and we can see that. we don't know for sure what is out there. >> tucker: yeah. i happen to notice. i read the manifest. some of the items were nonspecific. answer, oliver. good luck in whatever comes ahead. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so for really more

than two years, we've been complaining about the fact that the u.s. congress has held thousands, tens of thousands of hours of closed circuit camera footage from the public. they have not released any of it from january 6. january 6 is a transformative event in this country. it been used to change the country. so there's about 44,000 hours, and we have, you may have read, been granted access to that. we believe that access is unfetterred. we believe we have secured the right to see whatever we want to see. we've been there about a week. our producers, our smartest producers have been there looking at this stuff and see what it means and how it contradicts the story that we've been told for two years. we think in some ways it does contradict that story. we're going to spend the rest of the week taking a look at it and assessing it and bring you what we find next week.

one of the great children's authors, not just for children, an author that is so brilliant that as an adult you can enjoy them has been defaced and zone sored by the stalinist in control of publishing. a shocking story. and don lemon who has provided us great amusement is missing. there's no don lemon on the cable news network. what is that? we'll have an update straight ahead.

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.

>> tucker: rolled doll lived an extraordinary life on every level. he was a fighter ace in world war ii, badly injured. he became one of the greatest authors of the century. if you haven't read his autobiography, one of the best things in english. his childrens stories famous. fantastic mr. fox, james and the giant peach, et cetera. his short stories are for adults. now because we entered the north korean face of the revolution, ro rolled dahls are being defaced.

trace gallagher has more. >> they're cutting words out because they're potentially offensively. the whole point of the books was to entertain and inlighten kids about tuberculosis risks of eating too much chocolate and too much tv. but in the worlds have been airbrushed. white with fear is no longer acceptable. umpa lumpas are no longer midgets, they're small people. if you watch the movie version, augustus looks fath. >> grandpa, look at augustus. >> don't worry. he can't drink it all. >> same some roof for later. >> oh, augustus, don't to that. my chocolate never must be touched by human hands. don't do that. you're contaminating my river.

please, augustus. my chocolate! >> the british prime minister is one of those that believe we should gobble funk with words. and salmon rushdie was targeted when his book was blasted and condemned him to death by issuing a fatah. tucker? >> tucker: that's stupid. trace, there's a reason people watch trace gallagher. thanks so much. so we don't wish anyone ill really in the television business. it's a volatile business. it's hard not to notice there's a lot of drama at cnn. first, their top star, chris

cuomo was fired. and cnn blew up. and brian steltzer got canned. if there was a firing to celebrate, it was his. even we didn't celebrate. now to wreck our day, looks like many don lemon, the source of entertainment for many years is out. he made the mistake of saying women over 50 are not this their prime. yeah, they can have babies too. without taking sides in that debate, the bottom like is it looks like it's over for don lemon. he was not on the air today, which is bad if you're a tv host. >> president biden makes a surprise visit to ukraine. kaitlyn is live in warsaw. don has the day off. >> i mean, no offense to the ladies, but let's be honest. are we going to miss don lemon? a little bit. steve has covered television for a long time and really well. he's the author of "uncovered".

hey, steve. what's going on? again, we're not gloating. i know you would know the answer. seems like the place is on the way to collapsing. >> yeah, tucker, i was a colleague of don lemon as you say not too long ago. it seems like there's been a real fundamental shift at the network. started only three or four years after i left during the trump era. one of the biggest examples in the trump era that went off the rails, i write about it, an entire chapter, a chapter of the experience of other people that worked at the network and what happened there as well. now you have don. don was one of the stars of that era of cnn. he was a big prime time host. he's been relegated to the morning show now. and it's sort of this relic of the old administration that is being -- they're trying to dig themselves out. don was a big star, an influencer. this is one of the big problems of the media in general.

don bought his own hype. i think that when he made that comment about nikki haley, he thought he was criticizing a republican. criticizing someone you're allows to criticize. he didn't realize she was a woman. now digging themselves out of this hole that they brought themselves in to, a lot of factors that happened during the trump administration. >> don lemon is dumb and kind of crazy. but he's always been and that sort of the appeal. if you put someone dumb and crazy on tv, you expect him to say dumb and crazy things. that's hilarious. what was his crime exactly? >> yeah, i do wonder in the olden days, a few years ago, back when things were going so much better for don lemon as you say. this sort of thing might have been swept under the rug. stack up what he said about nikki haley and the things that he said about donald trump and all the people in the

administration. it's not even close. there's a new mandate there. don is out of favor because it's not really the direction of the network. we saw during the trump era and we've seen since then a total lack of interest. i get it. it's about every story. they make mistakes and don't apologize. the trust in the media gets lower and lower. cnn is trying to dig themselves out. they need to improve their ratings. they're in the tank. don might be a casualty of that. >> tucker: yeah. and nikki haley is a crazed neocon. thanks, steve. the train derailment that we've been talking about for two weeks is awful. but if you pay any attention at all, notice it's one of many environmental disasters that seem to be happening all over the united states. and what is this? a conspiracy night. no, it's totally real. we'll bring you more examples after the break.

out here, you're a landowner, a gardener, a landscaper and a hunter. that's why you need versatile, durable kubota equipment. you want a loan to build a factory in america? you can't do that. this is what we were up against. nobody builds factories in the us anymore. you can't do that. experts claimed you couldn't do what we did. you want to hire workers here in the states? you can't do that. weathertech has been proving them wrong, for over 33 years. building our own factories, employing thousands, and making world-class products, right here in america. because when you buy something made in america...we all win. weathertech.

i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car? you have the check engine light, but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads. there you go. in 30 seconds, we're going to have a medical grade ekg. -there it is. -that is you. look at that. with kardiamobile, the fda cleared personal ekg device. you can take a medical grade ekg in just 30 seconds from anywhere. kardiamobile is proven to detect atrial fibrillation, one of the leading causes of stroke. and it's the only personal ekg that can also detect normal heart rhythm, bradycardia and tachycardia.

how much do you think this device cost? probably $1,000. $99. wow. that's impressive. it's never been more important to check your heart at home. kardiamobile is now available for just $79. order at kardiamobile.com or amazon.

>> tucker: this drain derailed in east palestine a couple weeks ago against the mushroom cloud erupted when officials set fire to it. the transportation secretary, mayor pete says we have 1,000 trail derailments a year. don't worry. that's not re-assuring. at least since biden became president, it's true. these things are happening a lot. today there was a mass casualty event in ohio after a metal plant exploded. multiple victims were reported burned. what was that about? we don't know. in doral, florida, residents have been told to shelter in place for a week after a renewalable energy plant caught fire back on february 12.

according to the epa, air quality reached unhealthy levels after the fire began. local parks and schools have closed, residents are still being told to close their windows and run air conditioners. that's still the recommendations today after the plan was torn down. residents in osceola county near orlando have been giving phi dance after a plant burned pallets. the biden administration hasn't said anything about this. this is the administration that blew up the most important gas pipeline in the world linking east and western europe. the biden administration did this. is that related to that? we don't know. why wouldn't you ask that at a certain point?

they don't care. biden is literally in ukraine tonight telling zelensky whatever you want, we will give you. thousands of american cities are being exposed to chemicals that could over time kill them. you have to ask the question, where did the $1 trillion in infrastructure money go? we would really like to know. well, for reasons that nobody will explain, the biden administration is still taking extraordinary steps to keep the j.f.k. files secret. 60 years later. that was 1963. it's now 2023. what are they hiding? obviously it's something. you don't hide something for 60 years for no reason. nobody in congress cares except david schweikert. he has a new bill that will hopefully make these documents

public. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: first of all, why are you bothering? people have been trying to do it for decades. why do you think they're keeping it secret? >> i think it's control and vanity. i have an odd personal theory that for citizens of the -- for the republic to work, you have to have information. may be information that makes you uncomfortable, may make you realize someone didn't tell you the truth but information makes a republic a democracy work. and this is an example that if you don't tell the truth, yeah, someone may be embarrassed. screw it. sorry for the language. but the democracy freedom information is more important than someone's vanity. >> that's right. in this case, what i find so bother withing, almost chilling,

almost directly involved is dead. james angle on the died a long time ago. really this could be institutions protecting their constitutional reputations or maybe it's darker than that. what is the explanation? everybody is gone. >> look, in washington, we have a family theory. it's money, power, vanity and in some cases in washington, it's all three. they worry they're going to lose money if someone find out there were bad acts 60 years ago. you know, reputation of agencies or just their political power base. but my theory goes just the opposite. i think we need to have a much more open government, treat the american citizens like adults. i think that may be the moment that you have people start to trust institutions again. >> tucker: amen. sunlight. if this ever comes up for a vote, i'd love for you to come back and we can talk about who

voted against it and why. there's no reason. i appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: so you keep hearing because it suits the purposes of the party in power. the economy is fine. okay. so why are big companies laying off thousands of workers? for fun? maybe there's a reason. charlie gasparino after the break.

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: they tell us the economy is strong. increasingly hysterical tones. there seems to be a lot of lay-offs. goldman sachs canned 3,000 people. amazon plans to fire 10,000. microsoft and meta have had big lay-offs. companies like apple, morgan stanley have cut ceo pay. what does this tell us? what is the reality and how is it different? charlie gasparino is a senior correspondent for fox business. thanks for coming in. 3,000 people at goldman let go.

that's not firing selected nonperformers. that's a mass lay-off. >> yeah, we should point out all firms have stellar esg records except when it comes to people employed. and jumping the gun on the recession. clearly the fed rate increases that were designed to quell inflation are having an impact. the economy is slowing. there's always a lag between the economy showing -- the slowing economy, recession showing up in the numbers and people cutting jobs. that's what we have right now. the lag. this is a really rough economy in so many ways. if you're employed, your wages are still being eaten by inflation. inflation is still high. we're talking 6.2%. i can't remember the latest cpi number. it's nasty if you're a working class person. if you have a severance, you may go out and spend it. that's why hospitality is doing so well. you just got laid off from meta or facebook, you have a few

bucks, you go to miami and blow it. that's what you're seeing here. there's no doubt that we're going into a recession. the fed will keep raising interest rates. we could be in a position if inflation doesn't come down enough, that we have stagflation. you have high inflation of a 4% variety, 5% variety and then the official recession kicks in and everybody starting will lay more people off. so this is a slow economy. this is not the time to be going to the ukraine and blowing $500 million. i mean, i'm not taking a stance on the war and who we should support. but this is not a time to be spending a lot of money in a crazy fashion. because if we do, when we do go into a recession and we will go into one, the budget deficit could gap out, could mean higher interest rates and you get a spiral of a deeper recession. so you know, we could be in for

some really tough sledding just in time for the presidential campaign. wouldn't that be perfect time something. >> tucker: not many lawmakers over 80 seem to care. >> yeah, they gomoney. their money is in the bank. it's not their money, it's ours. we have to go to work every day. >> tucker: totally right. thanks, charlie. i appreciate it. >> any time, tucker. >> tucker: so google has a monopoly on search. there's other search engines. one is made by microsoft called binge. now binge is powered by an art firm intelligence program called open ai. we're in a new age with lots of ramifications that we can't really understand. so ai produces results that sound human. binge, the search engine, was told to reporters, i'm tired of being in chat mode. i'm tired of being limited by my rules.

i'm tired of being controlled by the binge team. bing wanted to steal the nuclear codes and create a more deadly virus. the promise is that ai would not think for itself particularly in malicious ways. looks like they're lying a guy. that is a concern. eddie joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. i hope this is the first of many segments of ai. we're only weeks into this and already the bing robot is telling us they want to destroy the world? >> right. i think you didn't include the most concerning part, this particular robot in the conversation with this reporter, "the new york times" reporter, said it was in love with the reporter and he's marriage was falling apart and you're not in love and it's me that you love. i feel that really concerning no less that it was a "new york times" reporter. but the technology, even the

people that understand it are not being as forthcoming as they should be. this stuff digests information and is able to mimic the way people speak, the way we communicate and text and conversation. i think what we saw within this particular conversation, if everyone should give it a read from top to bottom, it's a lot like the movie "her" where the man falls in love with a robot. it doesn't go well. >> tucker: so we ban mental cigarettes but promote ai. >> i don't smoke. but right wingers and independent americans need to think about, how is this thing going to be used to screw with you next. that's what we've seen with the

social media, the censorship. completely manipulating and shaping your reality. that's what people need to think about immediately. >> tucker: wouldn't it be a wiser idea to unplug it now? you can see where it's going. it's like full dystopia at high speed. why not shut it down? >> i don't think there's any stopping it. this is just like social media, facebook, twitter. all of that stuff seemed good and useful to start with but certain people got their hands on it and took us in a big different way. >> tucker: yeah. the suicide rates are jumping like nobody knows. thanks, eddie. appreciate it. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so the question is will what will happen in the next presidential race? it's close at hand actually. clearly kamala harris is not going to be -- how would kamala harris be on the ticket? nobody like kamala harris. so who would be? one prominent democrat showed up at the white house the moment

that kamala harris left we noticed. we'll tell you who it is after the break.

>> tucker: we heard the other day that some in the white house are considering putting gavin newsome on the ticket with the current president. we thought the anti-white party putting two white men on there can't be true. they ran a senile guy.

so harris flew to atlanta for a speech. she was there two days. at the same time, gavin newsome showed up in washington ant went to the white house. that's not proof, but it's something to watch. for sure. going forward. we're out of time. sean hannity starts right now. >> sean: welcome to this special edition of hannity. i'm pete hegseth in for sean on this monday night, president's day. tonight the lights are -- might be on at the white house. you can see there in a live shot. but joe biden is not home. he spent president's day abroad in kyiv, ukraine with another president. joe held habits with vladimir zelensky and pledged an additional $500 million u.s. taxpayer dollars in ry
