over the office all day long, happy international women's day. i think johnny thinks he's hitting on them. that's not how it went over. johnny needs to make a retraction. that's all for tonight. dvr the show. "tucker" is up next. always remember, i'm watters. this is my world. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." one of the hallmarks of people who are telling the truth in case you were wondering how to tell the difference is that people who are telling the truth are calm. they don't wave their hands around and make wild accusations. they don't need to do that. it's enough to say what they know. if honest people turn out to be wrong about something they have claimed, they'll admit. they don't double down on faults. they made a mistake, and that's

okay. it's not like they're claiming to be god. liars are touchy, sometimes to the point of hysteria, hiding something. that's the whole point of lying. they're worried you're going to find out what it is. liars are fragile, because over time lying makes you weak and afraid. it has the same effect on countries, by the way. we're living through one of those clarifying moments that actually we're thankful for, where we're learning who the liars are. on monday we showed you unreleased video from january 6th, proving the most important claims leaders have made about that day were untrue. their claims were lies. we were not shocked to discover that. we knew there was a reason the congressional leaders had been hiding the tape and that reporters in washington weren't demanding to see it. they were lying to us obviously. that's why you hide things. but what was actually surprising, we can't get over it, even now, is how they responded when they were caught lying. they didn't seem embarrassed. they didn't apologize. they weren't even curious to

learn more about what actually happened on january 6th. let's see the tape. no, they didn't want to he sue it. they exploded in lane. as liars tend to do, they doubled down, told the same lies they've been caught telling but with greater aggression this time, shut up it's midnight, they said, as the sun rose behind them. who acts like that? sociopaths do. in this case, the sociopaths turned out to be both democrats and republicans. the commitment to lying in washington is far deeper and more partisan even than we realized. we follow this stuff for a living. now, you sometimes hear people say that the whole partisan system is an illusion, and that underneath the manufactured debates the leaders on both sides are in fact secretly united in a common love of money and power. the deception required to get them. honestly we could never bring ourselves to believe that. it's too dark. but now we do believe it, because they have seen it. consider the death of police

officer brian sicnic. we don't exactly how he died. no one has explained. after refusing the previously withheld video evidence, we can tell you he was not beaten by trump voters at the capitol. the tape shows him walking through the building in apparent health after the media told us for two years that he had been murdered. they were wrong about that. okay. they got caught. here's the interesting thing, they won't admit it. liz cheney's tweet is still on twitter tonight, the officer was killed for defending our capitol by the violent mob on january 6th. anderson cooper of cnn has not apologized. the officer died after being hit by a fire extinguisher during the fight. those are lies. why not admit and move on? but they won't. this week the white house trotted out both the press secretary and joe biden's

attorney general, the attorney general of the united states, to claim not just that he was actually murdered by republicans at the capitol, but that other officers were murdered too. it's almost beyond belief. watch this. >> you heard them all yesterday. you guys reported on it. we've condemned this false depiction, the unprecedented violent attack on our constitution and the rule of law, which cost police officers their lives. >> it was a violent tampa baying on a fundamental tenet of american democracy, is that power is transferred peacefully from one administration to another. over 100 officers were assaulted on that day. five officers died. >> tucker: five officers died on that day. now, that's not just some guy on twitter. that's the attorney general of the united states. that's a man whose honesty is central to his job.

if he had a choice between iq and integrity in an attorney general, of course you'd go with integrity because it's essential. but joe biden's attorney general, marek garland is a liar. he just lied about something that is proveably false. who are these five officers, quote, killed that day? notice he didn't tell you. no one ever tells you. no one shows you their autopsies. they don't want any detail. they want the slogan. they're counting brian sicknick. that's a lie. who are the other four? four officers that killed themselves, after january 6th, and in some cases long after january 6th, but their suicides we know for a fact were the result of the republican mob at the capitol. it's just false. it's not some esoteric fact. that fact is available to anyone who has internet access. no police officers died that day on january 6th. none.

not one. some were assaulted. that's true. their assaults are indefensible. how many were assaulted? garland said over a hundred. the government accountability office says the number is 114. we'll roll with that. we don't know if it's true, but we'll take it at face values. we're as opposed to attacking any police officer. we're against that. but is january 6th the worst assault on the u.s. government since the civil war? that's insane. it's not even close. how about march of 1954 when puerto rican separatists shot five congressmen shot in the building. it's all bad, but you're a liar saying that. more recently, antifa descended on washington, d.c. to force the sitting president from office, but it was trump, so that's cool, and while there set a historic church on fire.

st. johns in lafayette square. do you remember that? you should, because it happened labor weekend less than three years ago. the mayor at the time made her cops stand back and watch it happen. they were very upset at the time. you may have forgotten that. here's what it looked like. >> i believing there are several fires raging down this street. this is what you hate to see. there are people throwing fireworks and who knows what else.

that crane is fully engulfed. just set fire to st. johns church. >> tucker: burning a church across from the white house. those are the george floyd riots. what was the toll there? brother not going to guess. we're going to go again to the government. according to a recently released report last month, during those attacks, the 2020 attack on the white house by left wing mobs, we're quoting, federal protective assists, the secret service and park police, reported that at least 180 officers were injured during the demonstrations, including concussions, lacerations,

exposure to chemical gas and severe burning. so while stipulating that all riots are bad, because precision matters, facts matter, truth matters, here's the truth -- more cops were injured by kamala harris' mob blm at the white house than injured by trump voters at the capitol on januar. a lot more. again, to be clear, both events are bad, but here's the key, we only remember one of them. why? because the people in charge of history are liars. liars. and lying is bad. on a national scale it's deadly, it's corrosive of everything that is good in the country, including trust and your grasp on reality itself. men can become women. climate change is an existential threat. whatever the lie they're making you tell, they don't believe it, they know you don't believe it, but by forcing you to repeat it, they degrade and control you, making you less of a person.

they also hurt individuals. we told you monday about a navy veteran, tried by the media, convicted of being a domestic terrorist, sentenced to four years in prison. what exactly was his crime? well, no one is ever precise about that. here's what the media told you it was. >> in his horned helmet, furred pelts, and face paint, he's known as the qanon sham man, but prosecutors called him the most prominent symbol of a violent insurrection. >> he's been in jail since january, trying to get out, but prosecutors say he's still too dangerous to release. >> he's a stone-cold thug. >> he kept saying i'm not violent, i'm peaceful, i'm a should man, but then you put the images together and that isn't an image of, you know, of peace. this is the new face of extremism. >> tucker: the new face of extremism? he's the new face of extremism?

he's a stone-cold thug. prosecutors say he's too dangerous to release. most people believe that, because why wouldn't they? they were told it. there was no evidence to the contrary. now there's evidence to the contrary. we brought it to you monday. the video that we reviewed at great length, over three weeks, showed with precision what jacob chnsley did. here's video of him, taken to multiple entrances, trying to open locked doors for him. he counted nine officers within touching distance of unarmed jacob chansley. not one tried to slow him down. he realized that capitol police were his allies, giving thanks to them in a prayer on the floor of the senate. watch. >> thank you for the inspiration needed. >> tucker: contrast the reality

of what jacob chansley did in the capitol building on january 6th, the indisputed facts recorded on video, some never before seen, with the depiction of jacob chansley that you've seen in the media for more than two years, he's a terrorist, he should be killed. >> shoot him. shoot him. if he was dressed like bin laden, would you have shot him? shoot him. shoot him. >> tucker: it makes you wonder who are the violent extremists here? so as you saw -- and again, details matter, because this is a man. this is an american citizen, a navy veteran. this is a human being. so what he actually did should be of deep concern to every american, because he's in jail tonight. what jacob chansley did, was walk through the capitol, shepherded by capitol police officers, who literally opened doors for him. when one was locked, they went to another. dozens of officers stood and watched him. all of them had guns. jacob chansley did not.

they never told jacob chansley to get out. the head of the capitol police today said he was trying to calm the situation. it was already calm. he was the only protester in the frame. they could have let him outside. they didn't. they helped him. we're not going to speculate as to why we don't know why. all we know is what we see on the tape. no one disputes. we didn't cherry pick it. we didn't make it up. once inside the senate chamber, as we told you, chansley said a prayer thanking god for the kindness of capitol police. good for him. they were kind. this was not a domestic frist. that -- domestic terrorist. that matters. what matters more, the video we showed you after 26 months, were not shown to jacob chansley's attorneys, a violation of the constitution. he's in jail because of it, because the liars on the januare prosecutors who did their bidding -- and that means benny thompson, that means adam schiff, liz cheney, these people

have this man's life on their hands. they helped withhold the videos from jacob chansley's attorneys. that means the judge who sentenced jacob chansley never saw them either. therefore the judge was able to say that what chansley did was horrific. he apparently had no idea that chansley was wandering around with the cops, walking through doors they opened, and saying prayers for them. we're quoting, you made yourself the center of the riot, said the judge. really? he accused chansley of obstructing the function of government. that's not at all what was happening. he was ambling through the capitol, flanked at all times by armed cops directing his movement. while, prosecutors at the doj, the real villains here, falsely lied in court and said that chansley was, quote, leading the charge into the capitol on january 6th. they said he was, quote, the flag bearer for the mob. apparently because he had a flag. he was alone.

and of course the media picked up on this and amplified it as the doj intended. "fortune" magazine disgraced itself by comparing the man you just saw to isis, saying he had the zeal to kidnap or kill officials. these aren't just lies. these lies destroyed a man. so no matter who you overhead for in the last election, you probably agree that sending someone to prison for four years on the basis of fabricated evidence is the most serious threat to civil liberties we could possibly face. yet here's the thing, leaders in both parties, the party that chansley voted against and the party he voted for have said nothing. not one word about the implications of this videotape. the implications not just for chansley, but for our constitution and our country going forward. instead, ooh, how dare you show this. what is clearly exculpatory evidence. again, it's not just chuck

schumer. it's republican senators. all went after us. we're not whining about that. we don't care actually. it tells you everything about the way things actually work. they're not loyal to their voters. they're loyal to each other. they're willing to lie. really lie, and crush people. mitch mcconnell, mitt romney, all weak men, like all weak men, vicious men, were especially angry. watch. >> it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. >> i think it's bull [bleep], when you see police barricades breached, police officers assaulted, all of that, in close proximity to it, if you were a

tourist you should have lined up at the visitors center and came in in an orderly basis. >> it's sad to see tucker carlson go off the rails that bad. the american people saw what happened on january 6th, the people that got injured, the do knowledge to the building. you can't hide the truth by selectively picking a few minutes out of tapes and saying this is what went on. it's so absurd. >> tucker: weak men are vicious men. these are weak men whose attitudes toward an individual, whose life has been destroyed on the basis of false and withheld evidence is vicious. oh, we cherrypicked. really? what they're saying, ironically, what they're describing, ironically, is exactly what the january 6th committee and the prosecutors in these cases did for two years. they selectively picked small segments of tape to convince americans that january 6th was something that it wasn't. it was awful. we would not defend it. we hate vandalism and assault.

was it a killing of five officers in the capitol? it was not. those are lies. they buried tape that contradicted and revealed those lies. so all we did was play the tape that they had been hiding for 26 months and show that there were american citizens, jacob chansley specifically, and others whose civil liberties were annihilated, and you can make your own rational judgments about what that means. do you want to live in a country where that's possible? they don't care. neither party in washington cares. in fact, the leader of the senate democrats, chuck schumer, just joined the leader of the senate republicans, in calling for this show to be pulled off the air. that's not an argument based on logic. it's based on hysteria, the shame you feel, as a weak and terrified person when your lies are exposed. here's chuck schumer, claiming for the first time, that like sandy cortez, he almost tied. >> tucker carlson ran a segment

arguing the january 6th was not a violent insurrection, in an attempt to rewrite history, erode the very foundation of our precious and sometimes fragile democracy. so yes, this morning i am furious. millions of americans are furious. i was here on january 6th. many of you saw the footage as i ran for my life, coming within a few feet of these criminals. >> tucker: yeah. so we invited schumer on, mcconnell, anybody is always welcome to come on our show. if we got something wrong, tell us how. if you think we altered the tape in some way, tell us how. they won't. nor will they answer the most basic question, which is should a demonstrably nonviolent man, who said a prayer for officers, why is he in jail for four years? shut up, pull that show off the

air! they won't anterior any question. we have a question, which is in how in a free country, guided by the institution, were these people able to withhold evidence from jacob chansley's lawyer? how could that happen? albert watkins represented chansley at his trial, he had not seen that evidence until monday, and he joins us. if you could restate clearly, just to make sure that i don't want to put words in your mouth, had you seen that clearly exculpatory tape of your client at trial? >> no. we went through extraordinary efforts on behalf of our client to put him in a position of knowledge. that's my duty as an agent of the court, to make sure that he knew everything that the government had, good and bad, to put him in that position, to make a learned, informed, voluntary decision about whether

to go to trial or take a plea. and remember, this is a man who had tremendous intelligence. very gentle. very, very articulate. he was diagnosed 15 years earlier by the government with a mental health issue. the government knew that. the government knew through three hearings, when we begged and pleaded to get this man out of some terry confinement, literally falling into an abyss mentally, and through each of those three hearings, that government assistant u.s. attorney, knew the most important aspect of that hearing was that jake was not violent. the government knew. they knew that jake had walked around with all these police officers. they had that video footage. i didn't get it. it wasn't disclosed to me. it wasn't provided to me.

i requested it. i filed the requisite pleadings for it. whether i did or not, they had a duty, an absolute duty, with zero discretion to provide it to me so i could share it with my client. >> tucker: very simple question. it's shocking this could happen, and happened with the knowledge of liz cheney and all the ghouls around this story. how can this man be in prison? he's still in jail right now. >> it's a tragedy. what's happened is truly a dagger in the heart of our american justice system. we can't allow it. and but for you disclosing it -- this isn't about you, this isn't about january 6th -- >> tucker: i agree. >> this is about our justice system being so compromised, the very integrity and core of that which we wore as a badge of

honor for the entirety of our nation's history has been rendered a vile disgusting mess by a department of justice running amok, and they didn't share the video of my client, the footage of my client, with nine officers surrounding him peacefully, wandering about, trying to help him, trying to get him access to the senate chamber. they didn't because it didn't fit their narrative. and but for you disclosing it, i don't know where we'd be. >> tucker: yeah. >> why they're attacking you makes no sense at all, because by doing that they're shrouding in secrecy, or trying to, their own assault on democracy. >> tucker: yeah. i mean, it's dogs barking to me, speaking for myself, i don't care at all, but i feel for this man, who i've never met, sitting in jail tonight. >> he's a tremendous intelligent

peaceful man. >> tucker: albert watkins, his former attorney, thank you for that. appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: one of the best and most interesting deep conversations with russell brand yesterday. we showed you part of it last night. more tonight. we'll be right back.

hi, i'm susan, i've lost 84 pounds on golo and i've kept it off for a year. i had spent so much money on other products that when i saw the commercial for golo, the price was so much cheaper and i thought, "boy, this might not work but why not try it?" it is amazing and it works really well.

>> tucker: you wouldn't know it from watching the news media, but donald trump is running for president again, if they don't put him in prison first, which is of course their plan. he's saying things that are interesting, not rehashes at all. he's come up with a bunch of proposals, so interesting, we thought we would pry t bring tho you. fox's kevin corke has the story. >> a change of pace story tonight. to hear president trump tell it, a second bite at the presidential apple could net a quantum leap in the american standard of living. those are just only of the comments made by the former president on social media platform truth social today. he said the american future would be much brighter with him at the helm with, quote, brand-new cities, another baby boom, a push to develop flying cars, like "the jetsons" of old,

creating 10 freedom cities on land, awarded to those with the best city plans, in an effort to reopen the great frontier. he wants to develop vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, to outmaneuver china and other countries like that. he wants a manufacturing renaissance, more incentives to attract younger families to those cities. these are all important to him. he also wants a baby boom. he wants to encourage it, with federal grants, authorized by congress to support growing families. finally, he wants a national beautification campaign to rid of country of ugly buildings, to revioletsize parks and ensure a pristine environment. to be fair, the president's ideas are just ideas, which is to say they were long on

optimism and "can do" spirit, often short on details, but a good idea begins with a single thought. tucker? >> tucker: kevin corke, thank you so much. more babies, prettier buildings, cleaner parks, those are achievable goals to prove everyone's life. we sat down yesterday with russell brand, the comedian/actor, a republican intellectual on our show. we want to share more of it tonight. he talked about the covid lockdown and the point of them, with maybe the clearest explanation we've heard of what we've just lived through. here it is. >> i think covid provided a lens through which we could scrutinize the machinery of power and how the intentions and agenda of power are able to play

out, coalesce, and let's call it conspire when a crisis occurs, how a globalist tendency to increase surveillance, capture data, and appetite within government, converges the comedian george carlin, even at its advent it was a legitimate crisis. i won't make a contention around that. it was opportunistickically handled in order to enhance regulation and control, a time when regulation and control are increasingly difficult to implement, as people are more suspicious of institutional power. in a sense, the best way to understand covid, i believe, take covid out of it, and look at how the institutions, both corporate and private, how did they benefit, which narratives did they disseminate? even with recent text messages

from our health minister at that time you could see it was explicitly exploited. all these conversations, but many people are cynical about the behavior of the powerful. the way that natural immunity was discussed proved to be true, ie that natural immunity is effective. they probably understood earlier than they admitted that natural immunity was effective, and for reasons -- what could it be? what could be the reason that a monetizable solution to covid was prioritized over non-monetizable? is there anyone involved in the situation that has a profit motive? look at the data. it was revelationtory, like the apocalypse, corruption, convergence of interests, alliances. this is not conspiratorial. this is the ordinary movements of the powerful.

if people can honor one another in good faith, this whole debate, i felt like it used to be normal that someone in your family would be a conservative and someone in your family would be liberal, someone in your family would be socialist, trans, gay, different races are coming together. it's part of who we are. if it isn't part of who we are, it's part of something we need to become, something we need to encourage deeply in the moment now. >> tucker: you think that can be done? >> it's the only option. therefore it cannot be discussed, it must be implemented, because the alternative we can see from the tendency toward geopolitical disaster, centralized interests, directing us toward nuclear armageddon, with not with russia, then with china, has to be interrupted. it has to happen.

human ingenuity and our collegiate experience, we have to forgive one another to move forward, love one another, things that seem old-fashioned, vital and that we all understand. >> tucker: that was pretty intense. definitely worth listening to. stream part one of our conversation right now. part two comes out at 7:00 a.m. on the fox news channel. the new republican house held its first hearings on the origins of covid. interesting topic. we'll talk to someone who testified next

america is systemically racist. only the government can save us humans are a parasite on the planet stop! i was a left-wing activist, but thanks to prageru, my mind has changed. through prageru's short educational videos, i learned how to articulate my beliefs and fight for my values. with your help, millions of young american minds can be changed. donate a generous tax deductible gift at prageru.com.

>> tucker: how backward and antiscience is the biden administration? well, it's still forcing healthy young adults to take the covid shot they don't need. in some countries they're not allowed to take it. they have to take it if they want to enter the united states legally.

now, if they come illegally, they're fine, because they're future democratic voters, so totally cool. noncitizens coming into this country have to take a covid shot, whether they need it or not, and that means all of them, including the healthiest person in the world, novak djokovic. last year djokovic was deported from australia, even though he has natural immunity from covid. djokovic is currently slated to compete in the miami open, starting march 19th. because he refuses to take medicine he doesn't need, he's banned. this is truly insane and antiscience. some are calling on the biden administration to accept the science and not keep the best tennis player in the world out of the united states, saying it's unfair, unscientific, and unacceptable, hero desantis, an understatement. the biden administration is so crazy, they have not responded.

so control the house has flipped, and finally there's an investigation, long overdue into where covid came from. there was a hearing today. one of the witnesses testified that tony fauci delivered covering up the origins of the virus by silencing questions. watch. >> is the possibility that covid-19 leaked from a lab a conspiracy theory? >> absolutely not, no. i would say no, but also it has been approached as such. >> no. the. >> doctor, i want to stick with you. you were locked out of conversations about the lack leak by dr. fauci and dr. collins. do you think you were kept out of the organizat conversations u thought covid came out of a lab? >> yeah. they came up with a single

narrative, antithetical to science. we foster debate. we're confident that with debate, science will eventually get to the truth. >> tucker: this probably all get lost, no one will get accountable for destroying the u.s. economy, killing a million people. the facts still matter. our guest testified, one of the very first people to suggest, which pretty much everyone now acknowledges is true, that this virus came from a chinese government lab in wuhan, and said so today. thank you so much for joining us. is it frustrating or vindicating for you to be one of the first people who were right about something that people should have known better lied about for three years? >> it's both frustrating and vindicating. in early 2020, when i started

looking at the evidence, and it looked pretty clear to me, not that we knew that it came from a lab, but it seemed a credible hypothesis, a possibility that needed to be fully considered, it was really frustrating that it took so much to get more people to take this seriously. now it's obviously vindicating, that many people believe this to be a very serious possibility. there was actually complete unanimity in the hearings today among the members of congress that this was a fully viable hypothesis. i said that it's a probability, a distinct possibility. we still have a lot more work to do. we still need to have a comprehensive investigation into the pandemic origins, examining all relevant origins hypot hypothesises so this never happens again. >> tucker: i remember learning in february of 2020, one of the world's most famous bio labs was

located in wuhan, not just wet markets, but a bio lab. people dismissed it, like that's crazy. why do you think the reaction of the media was to wave a hand and ignore it? >> early on, one, people didn't know what to make of the situation. there was a reference to, well, this is sars 2, maybe it's like sars 1, but i also think there was a manufactured consensus. nobody had enough information to say that one hypothesis was certain or almost certain, and that another credible hypothesis was a conspiracy theory. this was a manufactured consensus. i say this, as you know, tucker, i'm a democrat, a progressive. >> tucker: right, i know. >> but i've been saying since early on this is a real possibility. very unfortunate, there was, as you know, tucker, this letter in

"the lancet" in 2020 in march calling people like me, just asking the most basic essential questions about pandemic origins conspiracy theorists, deeply unfortunate language. it was manipulative. it took just a small number of us working tirelessly to open up this conversation. now it's more open, but still the chinese primarily are blocking the kind of investigation that's needed. >> tucker: yeah. i don't think it matters who you voted for. it matters that you're telling the truth. that's all that matters at this point. thank you for joining us tonight. >> tucker: so in a world where you're not allowed to say that a woman is a woman and a man is a man, it happens first in sports, so usa powerlifting, the governing body, just ruled that male weight-lifters have to be

allowed to compete with women. how do the women feel? we're going to talk to one after the break.

>> tucker: it's international women's day. hooray. unfortunately no longer means anything. the final victory of feminism is erasing women as an entire category. don't even exist anymore literally. ha-ha-ha. it's kind of funny. ha-ha-ha. women getting lectured by men about the pains of menstruation, the final victory of feminism. a judge just ruled u.s. powerlifting must allow men to compete against women. we thought we'd speak to a competitive female powerlifter, who represents team canada. welcome. i'm sorry to laugh. this is actually a sad story. i'm wondering how you feel about it. >> thank you for having me, tucker. the women of powerlifting, we're outraged, we're angry, we're

hurt, offended. we're basically every emotion except for happy. >> tucker: i know you're not supposed to criticize trans anybody, but here's a guy hoardk into your sport and wrecking it. why does he new ed to be a hero? that's appalling. why would he do something like that? what is this guy's problem, do you think? >> you know, i don't know if it's so much the person. it's the policy. >> tucker: yeah. >> at the end of the day the policy is allowing him to compete. you know, would i feel good about myself if i was a male taking female records. >> tucker: exactly. obviously this is a troubled person. i don't want to be mean, but it's so awesome to do that to you. you're brave enough to come on the show. i'm certain you'll be punished for it. you must mean it, if you're willing to. do you know any other female powerlifters who support this? >> that's the thing.

there's times where i couldn't sleep at night. i've been battling this for about two years now. finally women are coming out. i get daily emails and messages from women saying so much for standing up for women in sports. a lot of women are silenced and feel silenced, in that they have no voice or they're afraid to speak out, for fear of getting kicked out of the federation, to be called names, right? for backlash. but no, we're growing stronger and louder. the amount of support is overwhelming actually. >> tucker: i have to ask, since you are a woman, having a men lecture you about what it's like to be a female powerlifter, is that empowering for you? >> honestly, no, it's crazy. you know, i say this every day. i talk to my boyfriend about this. i said, i can't believe we're actually having this debate and this conversation in 2023. >> tucker: the trans movement is the ultimate mansplaining ever

invented. april, thank you. we'll be right back. you will never forget. for as little as $5 a day, you can own your very own brand-new tracker boat, motor and trailer package. the world's #1 best selling fishing and pontoon boats are built by and sold factory direct at bass pro shops and other select dealers. plus, for a limited time receive bass pro shops gift cards worth $500 and more. tracker boats. fish the finest.

>> tucker: we're grateful to be with you for the last hour, to say what we think, a rare privilege in this country. join us tomorrow night for more of the same. in the meantime have a great night with the ones you love. we have a great surprise for you. happy ending. sean hannity right now. >> sean: say hello to tucker. a warm welcome to tucker carlson. anyway, thanks tucker. appreciate it. great show. welcome to "hannity." we're back with our live studio audience. tonight big announcement. the biden administration is now breaking one record after another, not one of them in any good way. in 2021, biden set a new record with the most illegal border crossings in u.s. history. then in 2022 -- yeah, right? in 2022, he broke his own record, with even more illegal border crossings.

gues
