chris from ohio, today my dad asked me where i come up with all these nicknames for random political figures i said it's not me, its waters. i don't even remember anybody's real name anymore. it on about how allie, and naughty, don't forget about tar tamales. i'm waters, this is my world. ♪ >> tucker: welcome to tucker carlson tonight. one thing we have learned after many years and the news busines is that every once in a while, you get to eat some crow and admit despite your best intentions, you are completely wrong about something. tonight is one of those times. in the nearly four years we've been under the impression, oppression we communicated to you that actor jesse was a

smollett who folded debbie's international media, but could not fill us. it turned out smollett was a. late one night in subzero temperatures, he decided to venture out for a sandwich in downtown chicago when he was as people are accosted by two two from africa who somehow recognized him for his part in series called empire. because i that's a currently huge with muscle heads from nigeria. by the way, these two african right-wing maniacs also guess that he had vote for hillary clinton and they hated that so as trump voters did that, they started pummeling him about the face and screaming this is maga

country pair because they're angry, and they're always angry these racist poured bleach on him, threw a noose around his neck, and then ran off into the night howling with demented gle for that is how smollett described it. >> he said this maga country an he punched me right in the face. i was just jumped. >> we are going to be honest with you, we had some questions about the story, it just didn't sound right to us, something wa off. crazed nigerian trump voters accosting him in downtown chicago? how common is this? they have 50 ultimate and not a single one of them is republican . chicago hasn't had a republican hear in 80 years.

it didn't really seem like maga country. not only are they breitling donald trump stronghold last night, the cuban are our making for him. lightfoot is the mayor of chicago in a consummate neoliberal. she's the one that prevented cops from chasing criminals on foot because that is racist. she put chicago further into debt the department of climate and environmental equity. and in fact, her climate activist that she band right right reporters from talking to her pretty took down not one bu two statues of christopher columbus who was a racist, so you would think if anybody woul be safe in chicago, which is roughly 100 percent democratic party voters, it would be glory lightfoot. according to lori lightfoot, th extreme maga republicans,

activated their sleeper cells around the city and they showed up at the polls, which means lots of them at once, and lori lightfoot the first democratic mayor in 40 years to lose. >> these maga republicans hate it or not because of what she did, but who she is. as good brickley about her defeat she entered this way, i' a black woman in america. of course. one of the many tragedies here and there are so many layers of tragedy is that lori lightfoot is shameful as she's always been , soth is coming for years, her she was in 2021. >> there have been questions raised about your temperament i your reaction to criticism, and editorial use that term irascible, how much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman? and specifically a black woman?

to get about 95 percent of it. >> the thing is, there are no women in chicago, it's an entirely meal city. so all opposition to lori lightfoot derive about her race and gender. people aren't finding matt abou the violent crime in chicago, that never crossed her mind. your is she at last nights concession speech great. >> we didn't win the election today, but i stand here with my head held high. i'm grateful we work together t move a record number of guns of our streets, reduce homicides, and started making real progres on public safety. >> tucker: you got spanked like the bad little beer you were, but according to chicago police department, where also happy she was mayor here is wha

police said. robberies blur grace and theft hit record lows in chicago. each of these crime categories they have not seen for the last 50 years. it is a lot safer than it's eve been in 50 years. here is the statistics from 2019 -2023 in chicago robberies went up, 27 percent rate theft, nearly 40 percent. mayor, a significant category, 59 percent. how about motor vehicle theft? up or down? up, 270 percent. if you average all that out, that means all crime is up 33 percent. there were 300 mark murders by gunshot in 2021 than there were in 2019. so that's not a safer city actually, that's a much more

dangerous city that people are fleeing for their very lives. what is interesting is that the people in charge of vacate the play safer are still working to make it much more dangerous. a prosecutor and the city is rejecting thousand of felony cases and not prosecuting for crimes. in 2022, chicago prosecutors ha a total of 20,000 felony cases come in the door and out of those they rejected out of hand 2,003 they proceeded out of 20,000 cases, just 1902 indictment, not to convictions, to indictment. those numbers are not an anomaly . they are similar from every other year of the lori lightfoo tenure as your. what is happening? people are fleeing chicago because they don't want to get killed. you can see that in the home prices. where are the highest in america ? of the 12 highest priced home

markets in america, nine our in florida. people are fleeing their very the opposite is true of chicago. the median home price is less than the median home price in the country as a whole. median home price in chicago is $270,000. who did this? it was a group effort, but lori lightfoot was the mayor. but it's not her fault, do you know who's fault it is? businesses, and residents, pedestrians, they made themselves targets for. >> i'm disappointed that they'r not doing more to take safety and make it a priority, for example, we still have retailer that won't institute plans like having security officers in their store and making sure tha they've got cameras that are operational. locking up their merchandise at night, high end bags and purses need to be something that is a lot of tension on these organiz retail theft.

>> what? did she just blame the stores for getting rob? how is that different than saying you're wearing halter top , of course you've got raped. that is blaming the victim. when it is less time you heard near of the city blaming the victim. mayor lightfoot just did it. crime is no longer punished by and large in chicago. >> i directed superintendent to order all policeman and the district to give special attention to these parties and this is how it's going to be. we will shut you down, we will cite you, and if we need to, le will arrest you, and we will take you to jail. >> we will take you to jail. we will arrest you in take you to jail.

if you break her covert law. but of course covid lies didn't apply to her because why do dictators follow their own edicts. we're lightfoot broke the stay-at-home to get her haircut. when she was blessed having a haircut, not very good, she blames of course, everybody else . >> i am at the public face of the city. time on national media and i'm out in the public eye. i am a person in whom i take my personal hygiene very seriously. i felt like i needed to have a haircut, i'm not able to do tha myself, so i got a haircut very. >> so now, lori lightfoot is gone, who comes next? we don't know, we don't live in chicago, we're not even going t speculate, but all we know is the most horrible mayor and the country was promised a system

works and if it worked in chicago maybe it can work in th world. it is quickly becoming one of the most charming cities in the world. many of us, despite all the human suffering sheet because, there was part of us the kind o enjoyed it because embodying everyone of her parties excesse of last for years, she helped t expose them, hear here you had complete buffoon, someone who ran about round bragging about having a large penis. running one of the greatest cities in the world. she clearly didn't really care for the job, here she is. ♪

♪ >> happy halloween. >> the corona destroyers. ♪ >> i am happy to report i am calling out the census cowboy. ♪ >> tucker: just save the tape, safety tape, that is always our council from may of 2020 until now. march 1st of 2023, and american politicians, the entire class o gone completely insane. they won't believe it when you tell them. so save the tape. to network going to celebrate lots of people have spent time over the years with this mayor

and we would say at the top of the list, congratulations, alderman lopez. what happened last night, i hav no idea whether it's going to happen next, but it's nice deposit for moment and say democracy works for. >> absolutely, good evening. our hearts imprison with the officer in chicago tonight that was shot in the line of duty. the most dangerous of american cities right now, but with what happened yesterday's election, democracy worked and the pendulum i believe is starting to swing in the right direction back toward the middle and common sense. the outrageous policies of woke narratives and agendas are coming to an end great i think we have one more chance in chicago, one more hurdle to reach before we finally put thi to rest or we can have common sense prevail across the entire city with that law-abiding citizens, the ones we are fighting for a.

when the city is no longer safe for criminals with the good people in the city of chicago. >> you always had the most basi of bacon but can you walk outside your house without bein worried about getting shot to death. so do you think of me is that there is one more chance, is there a candidate who you think would uphold this and are? >> i think we have a runoff in six weeks and the city of chicago because nobody got the majority of the vote yesterday. one of which, paul vallas ceo and former budget director for the city of chicago. he is supported by other first responders and is known as a problem solver. johnson, who is super left, tyler, teachers union and his claim to fame is being able to take around the background checks for renters so landlords don't know who they are renting too. just yesterday, would not

disavow weeding leading in the city of chicago. so i we have some pretty clear choices in chicago, do not fall to the narrative, do not for fall for the race baiting, but we need to put our city back together. >> one candidate is for safe streets, the other it seems lik a pretty clear choice. i hope you will come back with an update on that race, thank you so much. >> thank you, tucker. tran welcome kyle rittenhouse shot three men, in self-defense there is no doubt it was self-defense, it was all on video. its effects, self-defense itsel is no longer a defense. one of the men who tried to murder him with a gun in his hands, lease of video is now suing kyle rittenhouse. he joins us to respond straight

ahead. plus, our second gentleman that dude who is married to kamala harris wants to talk about toxi masculinity and tough love.

♪ >> tucker: you might be wondering what does kamala husband you all day. doug has just decided he's goin to take on toxic masculinity pricking it can we talk about masculinity for a moment rate a being second gentleman changed your own view of perceived gender roles or what it feels like to be a man? >> this is something i have thought about a lot, there is too much toxicity masculine toxicity out there and people get confused about what it mean to be a man, where you've got this that you got to be tough and angry and lash out, to be strong and it's the opposite. i'm going to continue to use this platform every time i get tutus speak against this toxic masculinity out there.

>> her husband doug talks to th strictly on msnbc. let's let that video sink in. that is the greatest video and everywhere. we don't mean to doubt his sincerity. if anybody is doing their part to fight the scourge of masculinity in this country, it's our second gentleman. back in 2020, kyle rittenhouse went to kenosha, wisconsin, because he was asked to help to defend local business appeared mentally tried to kill rittenhouse, he defended himsel and shot rittenhouse and then some people began chasing rittenhouse down the street. he went to the ground, and of the pointed a gun at him, in response rittenhouse shot him i the arm, it was obviously self-defense. it was on camera and they

admitted that at trial. >> that looks like mike being vaporized, yes. >> and you're pointing a gun directly at him, yes? >> yes. >> so when you were standing 3- up in the air, he never fired, right? >> correct. it wasn't until you pointed you gun at him and advanced at him, that you're gun was pointed at him that he fired, right? >> correct. >> so yes, i pointed a loaded gun at his face because i wante to kill him, but he shot me in the arm and prevented me from killing him. that sounds like because self-defense is no one provides in the united states they tried to kill kyle rittenhouse and no

kyle rittenhouse is saving is getting sued for. >> it's almost unbelievable a man who tried to kill you and was prevented from killing you by your act of self-defense is suing you because he wasn't abl to sue you kill you, how is tha make sense? >> thank you for having me tucker. i have no idea. it's ridiculous also it's very frustrating and upsetting. to me, this is an attack on our second amendment rights and our right to self-defense. it is saying if you use your god-given right to self-defense they're going to come after you. if you win in court can hear acquitted, rightfully so they'r going to take you to civil courts and they're going to tak you for everything your worth, take you into bankruptcy. >> that is what is happening. we're watching this happen all over the country. civil suits used to shut down free speech, it is destroying

people who stand up against the mob like you. who is funding this the suit, any idea? >> i have no idea who is fundin the lawsuit, but i know there are some powerhouse attorneys behind these and i have mark richards and i know we're going to win in court, but it's going to be expensive. it's going to cost a lot of money to fight these attorneys. you can go to my website to hel me take of these lawyers so the don't go after more people because if they can come after me, they will come after you. >> of course, and they are coming after people all over th country. the use civil courts to avoid the bill of rights. how old are you by the way? >> i am 20 years old. i was 17 when he pointed the pistol at my head. a loaded pistol.

>> he tried to kill you and you did the absolute right thing. i assume at 20, you probably just kind of want to go live th rest of what one hopes is a lon life, right? >> absolutely. but they don't want me too. they want me to go away, but they want to drown me in legal bills and they want to sue me and pretty much not allow me to live normal 20 -year-old life. >> did the right thing. if someone points a loaded gun interface and tries to kill you you have the right. title rittenhouse, thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: our producers embedded with kyle rittenhouse during his grotesque criminal trial. that is on fox nation. you may have noticed lots of disasters suddenly affecting ou food supply.

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,

>> tucker: of other things to pay attention to, food supply has got to be you the top of th list which is why we covered it when large numbers of chickens started dying around the country . now a bunch of cows seems to be dying. that outbreak is begin believed to have begun in new jersey. christopher haskins is a commercial leave farmer and the far southern parts of virginia and says he's lost 41 cows sinc august, that has cost him $60,000. thank you so much for coming on. tell us what this is and how it has affected you're heard.

>> thank you, tucker and thank you for caring about something that is affecting the agriculture industry. about in august we start generally odd back in september of every year, on we start taking a check on the cattle herd to make sure everything is going as planned. i found a cow that had passed away i didn't think much of it at the time, you're going to lose cow every now and then in this business, that following week though, i found another co that had passed and i told my father i said you know, something is going on here i'm not quite sure what it is, but then by the third week of august , we were losing multiple cows a day. fortunately, my wife is a veterinarian and i have some good relationships with other veterinarians in my area so we got some i have some cows havin

cattle problems i normally neve have that. maybe i pulled one cath a year from a problem within assisted birth i had for in two days. on a monday that third beast of august i noticed a cow that jus wasn't acting right, standing down by the creek by herself when the others were grazing great i tried to feed this cow ng tried to attack me so i knew something was up and they contacted one of the local larg animal vets and i said i know i have a problem in my hurt and i was pretty sure this one would die within the next few hours meant she could draw a blood sample i would appreciate it because at the moment we aren't going to be able to draw blood from her in the shape she was in . so the cow died within a couple of hours, the vet came out in through the blood, the cow was

so anemic the blood was watery. they sent it to a local lab and i kept losing cattle throughout the week before i got the results back in that wednesday morning, i had mentally and physically really had habits of i contacted vita here in virginia looking for somebody they could do a necropsy for me because i knew i was going to lose and they'll mall that day, i just didn't know when and tha evening i lost two more animals. a i loaded one of the animals u and took ticket for a necropsy at virginia lab. in the state i was told by the veterinarian that did it, that more than likely it was this disease to elyria and the splee of the animal was two times the normal size it was very jaundiced or yellow inside, so that is when we knew what was going on.

within my animals continue to die, i blast my lost my last on on october 12th. >> thank you so much. i hope it doesn't spread much further than it already has and i hope you come back with an update. i appreciated. >> s yes sir. thank you. >> people are living all over the streets of major american cities, drug addicts mostly, a lot of them are mentally ill. as a result of drugs induced by mental illness, but the problem is it's wrecking rcts. mn just executed a homeless man on the sides side of the road, and thomas is also homeless. watch. there he goes.

>> he is children diluted. >> this is one of the biggest problems we have and almost nobody has any idea what to do about it or any will to do anything. dr. mark siegel has an idea of what we could do. doctor, thank you for coming on. >> tucker, first of all, it connects with something you started the show with when you were talking about chicago because shock cargo is 65,000 homeless and their overflowing into the shelters at the o'hare airport where these encampments in a lot of violence and crime is going on. la is 15,000 homeless they don' have shelters in new york, they are sheltered, almost 70,000 ou shelter. i'll tell you why that shelters make a difference freight i hav three steps for what our democratic new year's could do they are listening. three steps. mental illness is a big part of this, 13 times more likely to become domestic abuse, you lose

your house, you lose your job. that's what we're dealing with, and mental illness is really high upgrade what you do? you provide shelters, you've go to have extensive shelters, but that's not enough. affordable housing would be nic and la does not have that, that's why everybody is fleeing la. we need affordable housing grea number to, we need community service here, we need the community to get involved and not just give somebody a place to live, how about something to do, like jobs, something that give somebody their self worth fact, the third idea is we need to address this mental illness, one third, severe mental illness . we need people to come and take care of our homeless and deal with the mental illness parts, imprisons, i said in the beginning prisons are heavily involved with this, we need prison reform because 85 percen of prisoners are dealing with drug abuse.

there is one state that will surprise you that has a handle on this and that is rhode island . so the homeless, if our democra mayors are listening, get that housing, get them medical care, and give them something to do. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the fennel up adamic has killed hundreds of thousands of americans. one mom lost two of her sons. she will join us after the break .

our people come up with weapons of mass destruction named at ou cities, you well know you would do something about it. we had a weather balloon from china going across our country, nobody died, and everybody is freaking out about it. but 100,000 die every year, and nothing is being done? not enough is being done, that numbers are going up not down. you're welcoming drug dealers across the border, you're givin them protection and not protecting our children. >> she joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. you certainly made the point to the congress, you think they heard you? to get more than half of them did. but, i was really appalled at some of the rhetoric that i heard honestly from the democrats saying that they have

that is some of the rhetoric i have heard on social media sinc i testified, people saying oh, they wanted it. like they were doing something illegal so they deserve to die? people didn't use to die from experimenting with drugs, of course i taught my children not to do drugs. they heard it more than anybody else because their birth father was a drug addict. unfortunately, over 100,000 our dying. they still deserve to be protected. it is a health issue, they deserve real health and they deserve to be protected by an attack from a foreign nation pretty cute they didn't take fentanyl, they took what they thought was fentanyl are or cassette, and like so many people they were poisoned by something that was mislabeled. no different than the tylenol murders per day got tylenol and

they ended up getting cyanide. the libertarian response is the deserve a pair. >> that's what i'm seeing on social media, people that are just extremely callous, how coldhearted can you be to speak to me like that, to say such horrible things that they deserve to die and that i was a horrible mother and somebody should have called cps. nothing about what happened and how much i tried and how i sought help for them through th school, throw the police, they have no idea what i went throug to fight for them. >> we have interviewed a lot i know number of mothers in your position, to blame you after your child died of poisoning is terrible. thank you very much. >> thank you for giving me this opportunity. >> tucker: kid is a

neighborhood and the north part of atlanta. atlanta itself is very dangerous , as this is one of the most famously corrupt areas. the people of buckhead had decided wait a minute, why are we paying for a city that is dangerous and it hates us, so buckhead decided to split and become their own town that is called democracy where you govern your own town and they achieved a major victory, to bills in the legislature in georgia would allow buckhead to become self-governing a floor vote is imminent, bill white is the volunteer ceo and joins us now. built i think for the third tim to rethink you so much, for wha you've done on this, it's important not just for buckhead but the whole country can see that democracy can exist rate how close are you to pulling this off you think? >> thank you, tucker for having

us on. we are on the eve of the historic vote in georgia state senate. we have had a great champion in our lieutenant governor bert jones, we thank him and we are confident he will bring us the votes that we need to prevail i the senate. the lieutenant governor assures us he will do everything in his power to help us get these two bills out of the chamber after georgia's last lieutenant governor jeff duncan it's breat of fresh air that we have a leader of the same senate that doesn't bow to the city of atlanta. we been working on this legislation for over two years. lieutenant governor bert jones has been invaluable to keep thi momentum on the rails. tomorrow is our big test and i think he will pass that test with flying colors. we are counting on our lieutenant governor. in led by our great republicans to hold the city of atlanta accountable once in for all.

>> tucker: your being attacked as some kind of hate figure because you want self-government . when did democracy become so unfashionable. that everybody was in favor of democracy. all were asking for is the righ to vote. 960,000 georgia voters voted ye and all 159 counties on the buckhead siddique question. so those people elect our representatives intent message even in fulton county we got 80 percent of the republican votes in fulton county to just let us vote for they have never not let city that came before them be permitted to have the right to vote great actually i call on andre dickens, the mayo of atlanta to just come out her and say it lets us all vote, what is the problem of voting, let the best campaign when. >> they hate democracy and they hate you, but they want you to

pay for everything as they mismanaged buckhead into chaos breaks breaks if you win this, think it will be assigned for towns across the country you don't have to be managed into the ground by criminals who hat you, you can run your own affairs. so good, best of luck. thank you for joining us tonight . >> thank you for having me, tucker, god bless you. >> when community is about to secede from a city, what can they do. one man who thought a lot about that question joins us next.

country capable of collection action? can you do big projects togethe and achieve them hugs and sighs sort of talk through that, i realize that's before you can achieve the big project, you have to agree that projects are okay and that they're a good idea in than you have to agree on what the big project would be . we had that sort of consensus i our country for a long time. our people over ideology eyes. our project, the american project was maximizing liberty or maximizing justice. though things impart our troll. i think the make big american project from jamestown until maybe 1945, maybe before that.

was just conquering the frontier . it was literally just building the country and going from a place where you had like 13 colonies clinging to the fringe of the atlantic coast and it's like how do we get to the pacific? and how do we take these strips of colonies with a couple million people,. >> tucker: speaking of call, sean hannity is right now. >> sean: , tucker, great as he appeared how are you? >> tucker: so great. >> sean: say hello to tucker, everybody.
