no way she can lose. all right. remember, text us at our social media sites. sticky binder, the fresh prince and crooked walked into a bar. this going to be a hot bracket. get your choices in. that's all for tonight. tucker is up next. i'm waters. this is my world. good evening. welcome to tucker carlson tonight. i'm will cain in for tucker. it's a big day for the irish and the president of the united states would like to wish all of you a happy st. paddy, st. patrick's, you know the thing. joe biden loves st. patrick's
5:01 pm
day. his secret service code name is celtic. that's how irish he is. here he was today with the irish prime minister. >> every st. patrick's day, every irishman goes out to find another irishman to make a speech to. well, that's why i'm here. i, like all after you, take pride in my irish ancestry. as long as i can remember, it's been a part of my soul how i've been raised. >> he takes pride in his ancestry but he joked he's not really irish because he's sober and his family isn't in jail, at least not yet. get it, the irish drink and get arrested a lot. watch. >> i've been to ireland many times but not to look up to find my actual family members. there's so member. they weren't in jail. all kidding aside, i met the
5:02 pm
finighans and all the folks we're related to. i'm the only irishman that's never had a drink. that's okay. i'm not irish. >> you have to wonder how his countrymen in the puerto rican community is. here he is giving credit to the irish. they might feel slighted in puerto rico. maybe they are relieved. the facts of joe biden's biography are getting harder to pin down. it's not just them being written away. what about the poles and the greeks. when it's not st. patrick's day, joe biden talks about them a lot. >> i grew up in a heavily irish community and heavily italian, polish community in delaware. >> i want to acknowledge someone else who means a great deal to our family.
5:03 pm
rabbi michael bills of the congregation. that's where i received my education. i probably wasn't to shool more than many of you did. you all think i'm kidding. >> we have a very, in relative term, large puerto rican population in delaware. i was raised in the puerto rican community at home. i got my raising in the black church. i'm an honorary greek, not only today but every day. >> black, puerto rican, jewish puerto rican. we'll have to take joe's word because it's friday and it's funny to imagine this upbringing, if it were true, even though it's clearly not
5:04 pm
true. how does he celebrate st. paddy's day? we have been able to identify that joe biden has something of a tradition. first, he makes fun of the irish while bragging about himself. here was joe biden last year, for example. >> bless me father for i'm about to sin. i may be irish but i'm not stupid. >> i may be irish but i'm not stupid. that was last year. this year, i may be irish but i'm not drjunk and in jail. the subtlety of his insults are going. he was clever back in the day. on st. patrick's day back in 2010 he me moralized her and she
5:05 pm
was very much alive. >> god rest her soul and although, wait your mom is still alive. it's your dad passed. god bless her soul. i got to get this straight. >> it's a big one not have straight. you can feel, it's electric. joe biden's love of this holiday is authentic. no one is better to judge authenticity than kamala harris. watch. >> as you all know, vice president biden, this was one of my most particular joys as vice president and as you all know, he's quite exuberant in that joy and i have caught the bug. >> joe biden takes st. patrick's
5:06 pm
day seriously. i really can't talk. i use my hands a lot to talk. the show down with corn pop resulted with mr. pop not having the proper reverence. he refused to wear green and irish joe had no choice but to teach him lesson. >> corn pop was a bad dude. he said i'll be waiting for you. he was waiting for three guys with straight razors. not a joke. he said you walk out with that chain and you walk and say you may cut me. >> that clip never gets old. it's solid gold. we cannot be sure that corn pop had offended joe biden's irish,
5:07 pm
puerto rican, greek ancestry. it's starting to look like it. chadwick is here with us now. on a serious, somewhat, on an attempted somewhat more serious note, this is the administration of cultural appropriation and social justice. this is the administration that is here to teach us about racial justice. >> yeah. i mean, if half of biden's voters, if their grandfather said the things that biden said in his past about racial jungles and segregation and saying that gay people are national security threats and shouldn't be teachers, they would disown their own grandparents. i hope you die. it's okay for joe biden to do it which exposes our own idiocy and hypocrisy. these stories he makes up, his great lie about seeing a gay
5:08 pm
couple kiss in 1932 and his father telling him love is love. i can hear him now, you know the biden family believed that trans rights are human rights, my grand pap py told me that durin the potato famine. >> from 1950 through opposing gay marriage in the early 2010. it took some years. we could dismiss as the tangled web of lies of one old man but the truth s it also fits into justin trudeau wearing black face. it seems to be the take away is maybe this is all for show. >> yeah, it's so deeply offensive. every one knows the liberal white guy that puts on an basic
5:09 pm
s -- accent. this is what joe biden does as a default setting. it's almost like he doesn't need to because nobody expects him to be this kind of tik tok social justice warrior he's perhaps pretending to be or things he needs to be. be the old, white guy that is corrupt and using your family to enrich yourself and your position. we get it. you can't distract us with trying to pretend you're puerto rican and black and jewish. >> they say it's not a lie if you believe it. could be possible he believes these things. chadwick moore, thank you so much for being with us tonight. >> thank you, my pleasure. march madness is under way. howard university made its first appearance in the tournament since 1992. sadly, they didn't last long. howard was blown out in the first round by kansas and that
5:10 pm
wasn't even really the worst part of the night for the b bisons. howard took another loss when vice president kamala harris entered the locker room. she addressed the players who lost the biggest games if they failed to complete their first day of kindergarten. >> so good. you played hard. you played to the very last second. you made all us bisons so proud. you hustled out there. you are smart. you are disciplined. you put everything you had into the game. that's what it's about. until the last minute, you guys did that. you keep playing with chin up and shoulders back because you showed the world who bison are,
5:11 pm
right? literally what you have done is in historic proportion. i was in howard back in the day when we were happy a game, much less getting to this place. >> coach, i'd rather get blown out by 40 than have to put up with that punishment. you saw it. kamala harris was in attendance for the game and fans booed her. a former player and head coach and he's also former head coach at bowling green state university. he hosts the show don't at me. dan joins us now. did you have a passionately inspiring motivational speech in all your years of bowling green or indiana? >> we just used to throw things. then we figure out later, all right, we all know that kamala harris is a god awful public
5:12 pm
speaker. in fact, i always think she's high on something. i wear to god. that's a tough speech if you're a coach. that's a tough speech if you're a celebrity. you come in and asked to speak to a bunch of kids that lost by 28 points. you know what they want to do? they want to get out of there. she's the worst public speaker ever in politics. i almost want to take joe biden out of it. you had me rolling when your wondering how his fellow puerto rican countrymen were taking his love of his heritage. that's a touch speech. she talks to people like they in are in kindergarten. she loves her own jokes. i would be sitting there going, come on. i will say this, i thought the howard kids showed class. they sat there and were respectful. i did like at the end that she
5:13 pm
invited the howard team to come to the kwwhite house. i did think that was cool. that's a bad speaker. how is that a vice president speaking like that. >> dan, i love your search for fairness. i truly do. if this were a one off bad speech, i think we could forgive the moment. it is a tough moment, to your point. i don't know what the coach might have said. he might have thrown a clahair. this is part of the record for kamala harris. she speaks to every one like they are in second grade or kindergarten. it's like an applause line she got at vice presidential debate. it's always missing. >> she has no charisma and no sense of timing. she loves her own jokes.
5:14 pm
every time she's in some time of public speaking, a dinner, maybe an event, she gives you content because it's awful. she is a content machine. it's always the same thing. gibberish, word salad, laughing at your jokes and speaking to whomever it is like they just started second or third grade. >> it's 9:00 to 11:00 eastern time. it's don't at me where in his pursuit of fairness he has seen the light and known that after one game in the tournament, the texas longhorns are real national championship contender. always good to see you. thanks, dan. >> thank you my friend. chicago mayor laurie lightfoot is on her way out the
5:15 pm
5:20 pm
lightfoot has lost re-election, she'll be leaving office soon. lightfoot waged a war on press freedom. she refused to let white reporters interview her. she pulled the press credentials of william j. kelly because she didn't like his reporting. wednesday, kelly gave lightfoot this send off. >> people of chicago elected you. you shut down our schools. you shut down the churches. you shut down the businesses. you did the one thing that i thought could never happen as somebody born and raised on the south side of chicago, i never thought, in my life, that i would ever see the city of chicago brought down as you have managed to bring it down. shame on you. that is a legacy that you are going to have to carry.
5:21 pm
future historians are going to have hard time understanding how you became mayor of the city of chicago. i hope that you realize what you have done to city. i hope that city council meeting you will pack your suitcase and get the hell out of my city. >> going to be getting out of office. that's for sure. william j. kelly is a journialit in chicago. he joins us now. that was a city council meeting. it wasn't a press briefing. it wasn't a q&a. that looked like a public comment. >> we thank you so much for having me. like everything else in the city of chicago. mission impossible meets kobiashi. we had mayor lightfoot would do a press conference after every city council meeting. this being her last city council
5:22 pm
meeting, due to the fact she lost her re-election campaign, she cancelled her city council press conference. i knew that if i was going to have chance to speak to her, at all, i would have to register for the public comment section and that's exactly what i did. it was a lottery. only five people, only five name w s were drawn and miraculously mine was one of them. i was given three minutes. >> luck of the irish there but not without effort. you had to get chance to speak to the mayor. why was this so important to say it to lightfoot. >> people have contacted me, reached out to me. they said here is a question we would like you to ask the mayor.
5:23 pm
here is something i would like you to say. police officers who had been overworked and mistreated and spike in police suicides as a result. i feel like this particular city council meeting was the last chance that i may ever have to tell mayor lori lightfoot not just what was on my mind but so many chicagoans. i'm thankful i had the opportunity to do it. >> you told her you hope the history is written accurately. that you intend to write the book and the history of these years in chicago. we could hear that in the video clip of your appearance there. what we cannot hear is the response of the mayor or the council. what did they say to you at the end of your statement? >> to add insult to injury, after i'm done giving my public comment or victim impact statement, is how i viewed it. one of mayor lightfoot's city
5:24 pm
council allies heckled me. she actually said, she called me a derogatory name and she said that all of the problems that major lightfoot had to handle or mishandle was the result of the pandemic and, you know, channelled the entire city of chicago and let this city council woman know that she was the pandemic. >> in chicago for the moment, looks like there's some relief from the pandemic. we hope the circumstances in that city, which have been largely made it unlivable for the past several years are alleviated and we appreciate you hopping on with us tonight. for that moment, in front of mayor lightfoot. >> thank you. people in east palestine, ohio have been reporting they have been getting sicker in recent days. could have something to do with the fact that the water is filled with poison. that's why the residents hired
5:25 pm
scott smith to do independent testing on the water. he's the chief sustainability officer of eco integrated technologies. the results were accepted by the epa. scott smith joins us now. scott, great to have you with us. you were hired independently by some residents there in ohio to see what's in their water, see what's in their soil, see what's in their air. what did you find? >> first of all, thanks for having me. it's great to be here. we find dioxins. before that i'll tell you something. 17 years ago, my business, and 100 employees jobs were wiped out in oil and chemical contaminated waters. that's when i realize that water testing and remediation were seriously flawed. ever since this experience, i go into communities affected by water contamination and i help people get the truth so they don't have to go through what i
5:26 pm
went through. here's the main lesson. you can't find what you don't look for. we started looking for dioxins last week in february. we got initial results back. we don't have the soil and air. we found dioxins. dioxins, essentially, are the fentanyl of chemicals. just to put it in perspective, lead, metal, other chemicals are pressured in parts per billion or parts for million. it's equivalent if you have 20 trillion pennies to one penny. that's how sensetiitive it is. >> what is the health risk of dioxins? >> it's related to agent orange. if you can look it up, i'm not a toxicologist. we have a great team.
5:27 pm
cancer, very dangerous to pregnant women and a whole host of other issues. i can tell you what separates this from other experiences i've been to, people are getting sicker by the day. children are spitting up, coughing up blood. i saw pictures today. >> scott, you mentioned you can't find what you don't look for. you looked for dioxins. some 60 odd instances you have investigated. i know you said this, that has given you the play book for how these things are normally handled by the government, private corporations. what is the playbook. >> the public relations people are calling all the shots. i can tell you right now the playbook is going to be dioxins are ubiquitous in the
5:28 pm
environment. i don't need to get the rest of the results. children spitting up blood, people with headaches, getting sicker, that was not ubiquitous in health symptoms in this environment. the good news is we're going to find the truth and find out what people have been exposed to and they will be able to go to their doctors and get help and this will be able to be cleaned up properly. >> that's what i want to arrive at in our conversation. i know you tested furnace filters because of what's in the air and what's inhaled. i know you'll look at water and soil add well. i appreciate you're not a toxicologist, but having done this 60 times, to your point, what is the outlook? is it that dioxins can be removed or what is the prescription for the cure in this village and for these people? >> it's a great team.
5:29 pm
you have to solve the problem. you have to admit there's a problem and we can solve it. we need the admit there's a problem an work together. i want to say furnace filters. it's the closest thing to opening up someone's lung. i want to tell you a quick story. last night i was at a community fair with courtney miller and other residents. we went from the epa table to the railroad table to the cteh, that's the contractor. they said we're not testing furnace filters. the railroads is. the railroad said we're not. cthe. we found out there may be other people testing furnace furnace filters. we're going to get the results over the next 15 to 30 days. >> in order to correct a problem, you have to accurately diagnose it. this village can be saved and cleaned.
5:30 pm
it's an important note of optimism. this is important information. you're independent analysis is appreciated. thank you for sharing it tonight. >> thank you for having me. if you don't like mowing your lawn, and who does? you don't want to hire lawn service, there's a new solution available. get a land mower. the geniuses behind this business join us, straight ahead. hi, i'm darlene and i lost 40 pounds with golo
5:31 pm
5:32 pm
we pulled people off the street and asked them about their hearts. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? how do you know? you're driving a car you have to check engine light. but the heart doesn't have a hey check heart sign. with kardiamobile. the fda cleared a personal ekg device. you can take a medical grade ekg in just 30 seconds from anywhere. kardiamobile is proven to detect atrial fibrillation, one of the leading causes of stroke. kardiamobile is now available for just $79. order at kardiamobile.com or amazon. 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.
5:33 pm
5:35 pm
5:36 pm
way to do this. you were right. there is a better way. you can just rent some lambs to do it for you. let you hire lamb mowers, instead of lawn mowers. he's based if fairfax county. you have your labor force behind you. how is it no one has thought of this? you have to tell me about your inspiration and the market demand for lamb plowers. >> thanks so much. i don't want to go out too much on a lamb here. i don't know if you wanted me to ram through some baad sheep but i'm honored to be on your show. >> we're glad to have you here. go ahead. i want to hear this. i have a ton of questions about your work force there and their appetite. >> will, we're the only looicens
5:37 pm
and inshured landscaping that gets invited to kids birthday and evening wine parties. we also have customers that hire us to get rid of the weeds. i got into lambmowers.com because i care about conserving soil and water resources for future generations. my sheep do a wonderful job of putting organic matter back in soil where it belongs. i have a lot of happy customers. brings people a lot of joy. >> putting organic matter back into the soil where it belongs. does that mean i have to hire a poop pick up service after you mow my lawn with the lambs? you fertilize as you cut the lawn? >> my sheep do provide some biodegradable fertilizer pellets. that's what our soil needs.
5:38 pm
all our soil used to have 8% organic matter and now we're back down to half a percent in a will the of our farm land. there's not a lot of nutrients left to feed us. it fuels obesity epidemic in the u.s., to have soils depleted of nutrient organic matter. i'm passionate about soil health and doing lamb plomowers is a w to help educate people. >> the soil has lost a lot of its nutritional value through industrial farmer and widespread use of chemical fertilizer. i'm going to tell my wife the same thing when i don't pick up in the backyard. i'm give back to the soil now. >> that's right. lazy gardening. >> the names of your work force. can you introduce me to a few of them? >> sure. right here in front of me, i think this is oreo. yeah. you see snowy here.
5:39 pm
the cutest little lamb. right behind her is her mother, chocolate ship. behind that is ice cream. >> i'm picking up a theme. >> yes. my kids helped name the sheep. >> we have a bit of a day. >> one of the sheep's name is monster truck. we call him monty for short. >> i hate to enforce gender stereotypes but that must have been your son. i'm seeing before and after picks of your work there and what you have done in the back w backyards. your lambs eating through what no weed eater could. it's give back to the planet. we wish you and marshmallow and monster truck all the best in your business, lamb mowers. thank you. >> thank you so much for supporting a local small business.
5:40 pm
i appreciate you having me on the show. >> you bet. we'll move gears to this. the idea of the national guard is to defend the country. currently, more than 20,000 national guard troops are deployed overseas. 16 states are now writing laws to keep our national guard troops at home instead of sending them to fight foreign wars. sergeant dan mcnight has been traveling the country pushing this legislation. he joins us now. thank you so much for being with us. tell me about this. the national guard is at least, in part, under the oversight of state governing. what can be done on this defend our guard initiative that's been introduced in 16 states and passed in montana and as soon as to be arizona? >> that's correct. arizona senate passed it through committee. it will probably pass the floor on monday. the defend the guard bill says the national guard cannot be
5:41 pm
deployed under federal service into foreign combat unless congress is first done their job and declared war. that's something congress hasn't done in 80 years. we found ous in state of war since world war ii. that's our authority that we have given to congress and properly declare war. if it's important enough to send the lives of americans and the treasure of american taxpayers to a foreign land for combat then congress should debate it and declare it and put their name on the line before our soldiers put their boots on the line. >> it was a time congress would declare a war before we went to war. give me the mechanics of what unfold, if the state passes the defend our guard law? is it that the state governor, says no to the president of the united states or to congress,
5:42 pm
not until you declare war? >> that's great point. there's no mission that the national guard participates in whether it's a domestic service, domestic defense or emergency response mission or a foreign mission, foreign training or operational missions that are non-combat related. not a single mission that the national guard participates in will be affected by defend the guard. the only thing affected is the use of the national guard in a foreign, war of choice, waged by the united states with no authority from congress. that's the only thing that the national guard will be limited on. it would be the governor standing up and inserting his right as the executive of the state to withhold the troops from combat that's not been declared. >> dan, i want to ask you this, were somebody sitting here taking you on in a debate they would bring up the authorization for military force passed after 9/11. it seemed to be open-ended rolling authorization to pursue terrorism and make war. what would be your response to
5:43 pm
the aumf and its role when it comes to defend our guard? >> yes, the aumf has been the mechanism we have used for decades. it's congress abdicating their authority. they are giving a permission slip to make a decision to go to war or not. they agree if he goes to war, they will continue to write checks with no oversight, no geographic restrictions, no plans, no way to bring the troops loam in a short period of time. it's not a declaration of war and should never be used. the defend the guard bill would put that authority back on congress. the responsibility back on congress to reclaim that from the executive branch and realign the powers that we granted to them in the constitution. >> what a great way to say it, great way to reenforce and highlight our constitution. the powers we granted to them that we thought were obvious that congress had to declare war before committing us to war.
5:44 pm
thank you smoo much for being wh us. >> thank you. please visit defendtheguard.us. sign the petition. >> thank you. a new jersey man just successfully walked from the atlantic to the pacific. 3,000 miles. why? he'sgoi going to join us next a tell us. 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.

gump. he has an actual reason that he walked coast to coast. he went from the atlantic to the pacific, 3,000 miles. it took him 143 days. he said he listened to country music, bruce springsteen and the will cain podcast. tommy joins us to tell us about it. i think the entire country is wondering about your entertainment choices. out there in the country and no one but bruce springteen. >> only the classics. >> american icons. tell us your inspiration to walk from the atlantic to the pacific. >> it was a goal of mine to do something special like this. with that, i knew i wanted to pair it with a really worthy charity. i teamed up with the national coalition for homeless veterans
5:51 pm
trying to get these brave men and women who served our country off the street. it doesn't sit right with me that 38,000 veterans go to sleep homeless in this country. >> you raised almost $100,000 so far. many people can help contribute, i'm sure. how can that do that? >> go directly to the national coalition for homeless veterans website. donate there and check out the great work that they are doing or you could go straight to my instagram tommy underscore walks, underscore america. i have a link where you can donate there as well. w >> what a cause. 143 days. i want to ask you the most open-ended question, what was it like? >> it was tough. definitely the toughest thing i've done. overall it's a great experience. i'm happy i can did it and i can say i'm very happy it's over as
5:52 pm
well. >> what was the scariest moment? >> just living in a tent with the elements out there. hearing some coyotes in the distance and the wind whipping against the tent. there were times i thought i would never see home again. i made it through. >> how did you feel after walking for 3,000 miles in 143 days? >> it was painful. like i always say to every one who asks, i was hurting the whole way and i wasn't injured. as long as i'm hurting and not injured, i can still play through it. >> tommy and i feel like we know each other because he's listened to the will caine podcast. i want to canoe the louis and clark path or ride a cattle trail from texas to montana. what you have done is a bucket list item. you did it for a purpose to help other americans. i know i, for one, and most americans appreciate that. he will be on the will cain
