know the tagline origin story and there you have it. nothing special. [laughs] you know what? i am liking my tagline and i'm sticking with it. that's all for tonight. dvr the show. tucker carlson is up next and always remember, i'm watters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." here is the main thing you need to know about joe biden. he is 80 years old. he was born in 1942 in the first half of the last century. the year biden was born only 36% of american households have a telephone. nearly half of them did not have indoor plumbing. biden turned 80 last november. this fall he will be 81. if biden were to serve a for

full term as president he would be 86 years old. in other words, four years from 93 these are not trivial facts about joe biden. these are the central facts of joe biden's life. joe biden's age defines him and all of us, that's true for every person. age is just a number, you'll hear people say but they are lying to themselves. age is more than a number. agents especially of core biological reality of human existence which is that at some point it comes to a close. age is the way we chart our progression from birth to death as we back pass from this world is billions before us have and replaced by others. they use to be called the cycle of life. no one has ever change it. no one ever will. our choices between accepting a reality we cannot alter or denying that reality even exists. the democratic party has chosen the latter. tomorrow is march 1. that means a year from today we'll be in the middle of the presidential primary season. joe biden has given every indication he plans to participate in that and that his

party is firmly behind him. the dnc has already changed the primary calendar to make south carolina, which is a machine state where the outcome can easily be scripted, the very first contest. that was not an accident. it was done to help joe biden win. biden says he strongly considering running again. biden's wife of course as she very much hopes he will run and most heavenly of all, no mainstream democrat has announced a run against him. so as of tonight joe biden is in the race for the democratic nomination and as of tonight he will get the nomination. that's just amazing if you think about it. joe biden would be 82 years old on inauguration day. that is eight years older than the average life expectancy for men in this country. so for virtually everyone in his high school class will be gone by then but joe biden will be just beginning his second term as president of the united states. will that be healthy for america? will it be healthy for joe biden? of course not. it's awful. 82-year-old man should not be

running countries. they are not strong enough mentally or physically. everybody knows that. very much including any 82-year-old man you ask. the people around joe biden certainly know that. how could they not know that? they watch him and you do too. here is joe biden in warsaw, poland, just last week. >> the questions we face are as simple as they were profound. when we respond or would we look the other way? would we be strong or would we be weak? would we -- would we -- our allies, would be united or divided? >> jesse: we play clips like that a million times over the past year and we can play a million more because joe biden talks like that every day. at this point it's how he talks. joe biden is losing his ability to speak. that's not a secret. it's not something we are from our confidential sources bringing to you for the first time tonight exclusively. it's obvious to the entire world. you'll probably sound like that too if you make it to

joe biden's age. we will also. it's not weird. it's natural. it's not an attack on joe biden, hardly. it's an observation. but because it's natural, we have been commanded to ignore it. don lemon got suspended from his show at cnn recently for suggesting the presidential candidate in her 50s was "past her prime." that's odd really is a factual matter what don lemon said is true. people in their 50s are literally, certainly physically, past their prime. that's fact. take it from someone who is 53 so i would let such a controversial point? of all the demented things that don lemon has said over the years, noticing somebody's age is what blows up his career? yes. because that simple commonplace observation, people we can with age, points to power that will forever remain beyond human authority which is the power to control time. no matter how rich we are, we cannot prevent ourselves from

getting older. we can buy botox and hair plugs and face-lifts. joe biden has bought all of that. in the end, we degrade anyway because we are not god. accepting this fact that we are not god, working within the preordained limits of nature, is the key to balance and happiness in this human life. ignoring that fact leads to insanity. or in the case of modern america it leads to the trans agenda and climate theology. if you asked 100 honest people to name things human beings cannot control most would list biological sex and the weather. you can't decide whether you're a boy or a girl. you are what you are born. sorry. nobody, try as we might, can make a sunny day. you don't manufacture it. you receive it. a study to either happens or doesn't. it's not up to you. at best we can try to predict the weather. we cannot determine the weather. since the dawn of time, that has been so obvious that almost nobody has ever mentioned it. but saying it out loud is no

heresy. that's because our leadership class is in open war with nature. nature is the final limit to their power so they hate it. they tell us they are in charge of human biology. trans women are women, they screech. meet our lady admiral. they brag about how they can change the weather. then they tell us age no longer matters. joe biden may live forever. we have ai now. it's a ridiculous fantasy. they have no such power. they can't even keep the electrical grid running the state of california. they know how limited they are, which is why they become so hysterical in the face of physical reality because it's a reminder of their limits. do you remember this fall when the nbc reporter, woman call -- of burns dare to point out that john fetterman stroke had damaged him. of course it had damaged him. everyone could see. to fetterman's wife in the democratic establishment and the press corps, saying something like that out loud was more

offensive than any of 70. an outraged mrs. fetterman. >> what a disservice she did to not only my husband but to anyone facing a disability and working through it and i don't know how there were not consequences, right. there are consequences for folks in these positions who are any of theisms. >> tucker: she is in ableist! someone had correctly placed her husband was no longer able because he had a stroke. reality intruded on mrs. fetterman's fantasy and therefore reality itself had to be shouted down and destroy. you are seeing an awful lot of this attitude, that exact attitude, recently from the people in charge. it's not a healthy sign. wise leaders recognize the limits the inherent limits of their power. they know they are not in control of much actually because no one is. you can decide what to have for breakfast, that's what is up to

you but you can't decide to be a woman. you can't choose to live to be 100, you can choose to think clearly at 80. none of that is your choice even if you're the president. life unfortunately is a sexually transmitted, invariably fatal condition. it's not a bad thing. it's just true. when you denied, bad things happen. and they are. candace owens o host the candace owens podcast. the one thing it will never attack joe biden for his his age because it's the one thing he doesn't control and i have absolute subtheme for him. i hope to make it to that age. this is not an attack on him for being old. i am just amazed that no one around him feels empowered enough to point out, i'm sorry, you're too old to be president. why is that the one verboten thing? why is that the one thing no one can say? >> you know, i do feel some sympathy for joe biden because obviously he is mentally incapacitated but it doesn't make you want to question

jill biden and people like gisele fetterman who understand exact whether husbands are understand they are being mocked on the world stage, understand they are struggling to form coherent sentences and yet they sit there and they applauded and they think we're just going to keep hiding this from the public all on their quest for power. that's really what this comes down to. look, we can call these people incompetent. they are. does incompetency matter? no. because they are here to serve the party. that's what the democrats care about. actually if you're incompetent, that's even better. these are puppets, these people are on strings treated with they are told to not think expressly. they are told not to think individually. think only about the party. do what we tell you to do. what we want you to do this further to seven great communities, further denigrate communities because what we are after is a party initiative is full omnipotence. what they need to create as a new system of slavery, this is why we call it the ultimate think they are after his neo-slavery. they want to make sure that no individual holds power in this country. what you are seeing is something

that's very evil. calling out something correctly in saying that their final war is a war against nature. it's a war against sanity. if it makes us question our sanity would never think we'd be having these debates we are having. they would say that it's the wrong thing to say that an 86-year-old is old. we are being attacked for this. everyone is given and is him. the reason as you correctly pointed out is because it's the final war and they need to make sure that they control even language. >> tucker: i think language is the key because they have cowed the population, even smart people who know better, into not saying the obvious things. their fear is that people will say the obvious things. you're too old to be president, you are -- your trans admiral is a dude. putting incompetent people in the cockpits of commercial airliners, or having them perform heart surgery is insane. you're insane. none of this is real. you can't allow this to happen. those are the very things that no one is willing to say. i don't know why.

>> i am not one of those people, i don't struggle to say exactly what needs to be said. this is why. if they win this battle there is nothing left. there is nothing left. i encourage people through you need to say the thing that you know is true. the problem we are having right now is too many conservatives are acting like cowards. they are saying that we need to be nicer. this is how they have gained so much territory. this is how we are fighting them in the school systems, the classrooms, we are fighting them to acknowledge that women can ever be men and men can ever be women. these are insane arguments but they are able to happen because good people sit by and say absolutely nothing while they run amok. it's very important to point out the democrats used to be quiet about their corruption. years ago they required about their corruption. now they are corrupt openly and they are mocking you. they are asking you, what are you going to do about it? we knew fetterman was mentally incapacitated and we allowed him to make it all the way to the senate and what are you going to do about it? we know joe biden can barely

walk and we see their early signs of dementia and what are you going to do about it? i've asked the same to everybody watching. what are you going to do about it? why don't you start saying the truth and having the courage to say of boldly? >> tucker: can i ask you one last question, as a wife and mother, as you are. you have dr. jill and giselle federman both cheering on their husbands political careers while one is effectively incapacitated by dementia and the other is in a mental hospital. wouldn't you think that a woman who loved us spouse, who loved her husband would say no, it's not good for him. why is dr. jill not the villain in this story? we -- what is her problem? what a creep. the same with giselle federman. her husband is in a mental hospital. >> these women are monsters. they are absolute monsters. if you were in a relationship and he loved someone he had a family with this individual you would never want to see them

suffer. period. now imagine allowing them to suffer publicly. that's exactly what these women are doing. they have become creatures on their quest for power and they should be ashamed of themselves but they won't be. it's all about serving the party and if they have to sacrifice their husbands, oh, well. >> tucker: if my wife did that to me because she wanted to spend the weekend at camp david, my feelings would be hurt a lot. candace owens, great to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: st. louis, one of the great american cities, degraded it very high speed under a d.a. called kim gardner. the murder of a homeless man in the middle of the day on the sidewalk caught on tape, which really is kind of a metaphor for what happened to our cities. that's straight ahead. plus, covid experts told a lot of lies. they are not going to admit that of course. i am not in the business of forgetting. we always keep the tape.

be right back.

>> tucker: the attorney general of missouri is trying to remove the soros backed d.a. in st. louis, kim gardner. who has done so much to destroy that city. we hesitate to show you this tape but we feel duty bound to

do so because this murder in st. louis says a lot about where our cities are. fox's kevin corke hasn't. >> it's not that crime hasn't always been a real problem in america's major cities. it has. i live in washington i can attest to it. it's that there is an increasing scale and scope and frankly the brutal nature that shocks the senses, leaving citizens begging for help and in some cases soros backed d.a.s are facing increased scrutiny, intense scrutiny, take for example as you point out the disgusting incident that happened in st. louis yesterday outside the glow building. in a video posted online, you see a guy by the name of deshawn thomas, he stands behind a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk, calmly loads his weapon and shoots him at point-blank range. witnesses suggest the pair may have been fighting outside a shell gas station moments earlier. thomas was arrested a short time later at a library though it's unclear if he was out on probation at the time or if he

has a long rap sheet. probably but will have to wait and see. so far there have been 25 murders in the city already in 2023 leading to growing calls to oust soros backed attorney kim gardner in part because of the number of repeat offenders committing violent crimes in the city. you may have heard of this. earlier this month at 21-year-old convicted felon by the name of daniel riley struck a young volleyball player with his car, pinning her to the ground, robbing her of the use of her legs. critics say he should never have been out in the first place and they are blaming gardner for it. tucker. >> tucker: man, something is wrong, for sure. kevin corke with that. thank you so much. >> you bet. >> tucker: the whole covid thing started about three years ago and we are finally learning what a lot of people suspected from the beginning which is that the experts either didn't know what they were talking about or they were lying. it's kind of depressing to go all through those lies but it's necessary if you don't want that to happen again and we definitely don't.

dr. marty makary has been chronicling, keeping track. he's a professor at johns hopkins school of medicine enjoins estimate to list some of the things we learned that aren't true. doctor, thank you so much and thank you for keeping track of this. i think you need an after action report to make you better next time so what have we learned is untrue? >> i just testify before congress and of course those on the left were asking about misinformation, as if that was the big problem and of course microchips in the vaccines has a conspiracy theory came up. i don't know how many people chose not to get the vaccine because of fears of a microchip. maybe two people or five. how about the misinformation propagated by public health officials, the biggest deliverer of misinformation has been the united states government and the data has caught up with all the lies and has debunked many lies. for example, natural immunity is not protective.

the lancet study tour that apart, showed it is absolutely as effective as vaccination and probably more effective, the school closures would reduce transmission. the europe experience proved that wrong. schools were open throughout with a similar transmission rate. that was wrong. the myocarditis is more common after covid infection, that it is from the vaccine, not true. cardiology shows its four to 20 times more common after the vaccine in a particular cohort. the lab leak was a conspiracy theory. both dr. pars on in the two topt told dr. fauci in january of 2020 in an emergency meeting tht they thought it was the lab leak. and yet it was billed as a conspiracy. finally that the bivalent vaccine and the boosters are effective and necessary for young people. it had no randomized controlled trials. the doctor at the white house at its crystal clear. to me it's crystal clear young

healthy person should not get it. no one on the congressional committee or at the cdc has ever been able to tell us if any healthy american child has died of covid. there may have been a couple. could have been three, five, ten over three years. that's way below any respiratory pathogen. how can you push something so aggressive with such absolutism and dogma without the data? we don't even know if any healthy child has ever died of covid. public health officials and the cdc are proposing that a 12-year-old healthy girl get 60 mrna covid vaccines in her average lifetime, one a year. this is where we got to demand data before following these recommendations. >> tucker: that's what they are demanding? it's hard to believe that. given everything we know, that seems deranged and scary. >> annual vaccinations for all people. that is the mantra right now and

it's all or nothing. >> tucker: last question, doctor. is there an organized -- it is so unwise. you've got to think there is an organized resistance. do you think it could happen? that it could become compulsory? >> most of the resistance are practicing physicians but because anyone who disagrees is dismissed or censored or deleted or excluded from national meetings, it appears as if there is a unified consensus and physicians. the cdc's own study found 40% of pediatricians or not recommend the covid vaccines for children. that should say a lot and when i go to the doctors meetings, none of them have been wearing masks over the entire last year. that should say a lot. >> tucker: yeah, he does say a lot. dr. marty makary, a brave and learned man. thank you so much. if you worked in any kind of big company our apologies but you probably had implicit bias training. one physician has enough self-respect to say enough, dr. marilyn singleton joins us next on that topic.

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. ♪ choosing miracle-ear was a great decision. miracle-ear made it easy. i just booked an appointment, and a certified hearing care professional evaluated my hearing loss. and helped me find the right device, calibrated to my unique hearing needs. now i enjoy every moment, the quiet ones...and the loud ones. ♪ make a sound decision. our best deals of the season are happening february 20th through march 3rd. call 1-800-miracle and book your appointment today!

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert. potentially significant hearing underway in the house of representatives, the house select committee on the communist chinese party is holding its first hearing on the chinese communist threat to america. you're seeing pictures live right now. we are going to monitor what's going on and if anything happens we'll bring it to you right a away. so this is one of those stories you wonder, how much longer can we ignore this? we seem to be getting a lot closer to a major aviation disaster in this country. there are no minor aviation disasters. near misses are now occurring every few days. not an overstatement. on wednesday and air traffic controller in burbank, california, kurta mesa airlines jet landowner runway where a skywest jet was in the process of taking off. when the mesa airlines jet abandon the landing the controller briefly directed the two planes towards other.

the controller kept mixing up right and left in her radio calls for the planes were less than a mile apart at one point and for objects moving as fast as airplanes, that's very close. this is similar to another incident that happened earlier this month in austin, texas. in that case a fedex cargo jet came within 100 feet of a southwest airlines jet after the fedex jet was cleared to land on runway where the southwest jet was taking off. that shouldn't be allowed. that should never happen. but it's happening quite a bit. on monday night that jetblue flight at boston's logan airport nearly hit a leader jet. the learjet. the jetblue flight cleared the learjet, the private aircraft, by less than 100 feet. it's totally crazy. it's also part of a much larger problem and transportation in the united states. today in manatee county florida, train carrying sheet rock and more than 30,000 gallons of propane fuel derailed. hazmat crews are on the scene.

so far no one has been evacuated although officials say it could be coming soon. this keeps happening. a week ago hazmat teams deployed in gothenburg nebraska after a coal train derailed there and of course as you all know earlier this month there was a derailment and then a man-made mushroom cloud in east palestine, ohio. you have to wonder what happened to the trillion dollar infrastructure bill? the one that joe biden can't stop bragging about. the infrastructure bill that was actually an equity bill, the one that put solar panels on government buildings. what about our infrastructure? what about the airplanes question why did they come within 100 feet of each other? no one in the biden administration appears to karen unless they start to care people are going to die for real. so the thing you want to watch is not that periphery but the court, the critical industries. aviation, transportation, energy. in medicine.

there's a problem in the medical profession. for some reason medical schools and hospitals have become convinced that the appearance of your doctor is the most important thing. you can judge a book by its cover. watch. >> right now fewer than 6% of doctors in the u.s. identify as black or african american. that's despite the fact that the community makes up 12% of the country's total population and that's raising concerns about the impact on public health. speaker research shows that when we have a more diverse physician workforce there's more understanding and more trust between the patient and the doctor. the doctor has an understanding of the patient's cultural experiences, cultural background, lived experiences especially when it comes to racism or discrimination or other aspects of their life, that can help with that physician-patient relationship.

>> tucker: it super simple. if there ever was a place where we need a pure meritocracy, the most qualified people get the jobs, it's in medicine. most doctors believe it. very few are willing to say it. dr. marilyn singleton is one of them. she has a post in "the washington post" called i'm a black position i'm appalled by mandated pleasant bias training. doctor, thank you so much for coming on. you have practiced medicine for a long time. >> thank you for inviting me. >> tucker: we are delighted to have you. what have you noticed that has changed in your profession in medicine recently and why are you concerned about it. >> i am concerned, i grew up in a time when there was segregation. we moved from black people having to go to black universities to where it was completely open. i was able to go to top-tier universities where my parents didn't necessarily do that. and then when i went to medical school, diversity meant groups of different people all over the country. different backgrounds and whatnot. all we wanted to do was get good

grades and be the best doctor that we possibly could. and take the best care of patients. suddenly we fast-forward now. we don't even hear about getting good grades. all we hear about is "oh, a black patient should have a black doctor." that is so wrong. a black patient should have a good doctor. and that's what all patients want. certainly black patients want that and believe me if you get into an emergency room, you don't want a patient having to look up at that doctor sideways and think hmm, is this one of those evil white devils or is this a good doctor who is going to take care of my stab wound to the abdomen? this is so wrong and it's being pushed on people. i don't like the demonization of my colleagues that i have worked with for years save patients'

lives, had them come to me for advice on how to do something and suddenly i'm not supposed to trust them? they are not supposed to trust me? am i suddenly a stupid black person? it's completely flipped on its head. there was a time when black people were considered not up to the task, to the job. could be professionals, couldn't be doctors. and we are, we are smart, just like anybody else. suddenly white doctors are the ones that have the evil aura around them and we expect black patients to then want to trust that doctor? it's hokum that black patient needs a black doctor. number one, it could never happen. there aren't enough doctors. how could you match these people up? what happens when you go to an emergency? honestly as an anesthesiologist, i have done plenty of emergencies.

i have been a doctor for i hate to say, 50 years now. patients look at you and years ago all they wondered, are you old enough to know how to do this? they wondered about your competence. this is wrong, having so much focus on race and bringing back the kind of focus that we fought for so many years to be gone, to look at people as individuals and their talents, their personality, their compassion. they are wiping it away. it's just wrong. it's criminal. >> tucker: why are you one of such a tiny minority of practicing physicians willing to say that? >> well, i think it's like so many times and i'm sure you've been in these meetings where everybody is thinking the same thing but nobody wants to say it out loud.

and heard of it is what's happening in medicine all over that we now have private practice. only 47% of physicians and so you're looking at for the 53% of physicians employed or were they work for one of these big health systems. they are afraid to lose their jobs. it's kind of hard to blame them. when you are in private practice and you're taking care of your own patients for your own self, you know, you can say what you want and your patients, when they love you, they love you. they don't care what color you are. they are just glad that you give them good treatment. >> tucker: bless you for saying that. it sounds obvious but when you're one of the only people willing to say it, we're really grateful for your willingness to do that. dr. marilyn singleton, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> tucker: if you want to control a country and this people obviously destroy their history so they don't know what happening for than the future is yours. so now the walk mob is in the

pentagon and they have decided to desecrate arlington national cemetery. not so fast, will mob at the pentagon. we've got details next.

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,

>> tucker: democracy, as they say, is on the ballot in chicago tonight where the worst mayor probably in recorded history, lori lightfoot, is up for election. she is the one who hired the thousand cats to fight the rat problem in chicago. trace gallagher has been following all of this and he joins us with an update. >> the polls are close in chicago and they are in the process of counting the early ballots. we are talking about some 240,000 ballots. so far, it appears to be a very tough night for the incumbent mayor lori lightfoot. we now have 73% of the early votes counted and paul vallas, former chicago public schools ceo has 36% of the vote. he's been endorsed by the police union, bills himself as the tough on crime candidate. and second you have brandon

johnson, current cook county commissioner and former schoolteacher who is supported by the chicago teachers union. he is pulling about 20% of the vote and in third place, lori lightfoot. she's at just under 16%, not really doing well. in recent weeks, brandon johnson's urge has made headlines because it was so surprising and so fast. but this is primarily about crime because even chicago is tired of the increase in violent crime all across chicagoland. once the early ballots are counted they will move on to the rest of the votes but remember it could take a while because of one candidate does not get more than 50%, goes to an april 4th run off and that means this could last for weeks. we should know with 73% of the early ballots counted we can tell you that paul vallas will be in the runoff. whether lori lightfoot makes the runoff is yet to be seen so she is known for dancing at awkward times.

it appears that lori lightfoot will likely not be doing any dancing tonight because she may not even make it to the next round. we'll keep counting. we'll keep tabulating and get back to you with results. >> tucker: trace gallagher, consistently the bearer of good news. not many of those. thank you, trace. lori lightfoot got reelected, you'd really have to rethink the system. i mean, what would that be? terrifying. so if you want to control a country, obviously you have to erase its history so no one has any idea what went before and then the future is yours and that's why they tear down monuments to our past. in new york they tore down the teddy roosevelt statue, the greatest of all american presidents, the most popular, stood there for many years. now it's gone. rioters have done this all over the country. >> [cheering]

>> what we want? >> justice. >> [cheering] >> [chanting] [cheering] 's >> tucker: that wasn't enough so now woke lunatics at the pentagon have decided to desecrate america's biggest and most significant cemetery, arlington national, right across from washington, d.c., and tear down a memorial to the civil war dead. chris bedford is the executive editor of the comments in society. he has wrote a thoughtful and interesting piece on what's happening. he joins us tonight. chris bedford, thank you. i'm not sure i can in any way improve on what you wrote. summarize it for us if you would.

>> right now if they are trying to tear down is a monument in arlington that marks the confederate war dead. this is not a monument to victory. it's not a monument that says rise up again, this war is coming. it's a monumental reconciliation. it's a funerary monument that stands over the graves of people including the architect and a number of other confederate war dead were buried there now in arlington. this is something that symbolizes peace. at its center is a ruled woman holding a laurel crowns with branches and also holding the plowshare that stands for meeting our swords into plowshares. beneath that is a freeze centered on athena, circular frieze that shows southerners answering the call to war and that something could et cetera problem with. it does show a romanticized and idealized version of the south but at its core it's a monument to the reconciliation and it came during a very obligated. back in time. we think that 2020 was obligated, the period after the civil war were about 2% of the

american population gave their lives in battle was extremely tense and complicated. for decades afterwards, confederates were not even allowed -- not even families were allowed to attend the graves of those fallen. america got through what most countries never got through. they got through a civil war in 30 years later when they end up fighting side-by-side in the spanish-american war the neutral affection was rekindled on there was a softening of hearts of people who fought on both sides reached out to each other and said we are going to try and come together and build something to reconciliation. the people who built this, the daughters of the confederacy, no this was not a perfect country. not a single one of them could vote at that period. there were still a lot of problems that we had to get there but coming together in a complicated history is what is essential for us to remember. tearing it down is very simpleminded. >> tucker: have vicious to do this to a graveyard 150 years later. is there any way to stop this erasure of american history question market is not theirs to be raised, is it? >> i think there is. congress has given the pentagon to ability to erase these things

but they are talking about names and roads, things in it arlington national cemetery fall under the fine arts. civic architecture. that is something that they would like to bulldoze over authority. >> tucker: you can't desecrate graveyards, sorry. i don't care who's buried there. chris bedford, thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> tucker: be spent a lot of time beating up on the white house press corps but there is someone worth knowing, his name is simon. he is covering the white house and american government for an audience in africa. we thought it would be great to sit down with him. better than we imagined. grew. group impoverished in cameroon before becoming the toughest reporter in washington. we asked him in a long conversation about his life. here's part of it. >> when i thought everything was good, i decided to travel from

cameroon to nigeria by sea and i was attacked by pirates. >> tucker: i am not going on vacation with you.
