Tucker Carlson Today gives of a lot more time to speak to very interesting people and we have. In one recent conversation, we sat down with Ted Nugent to talk about attacks on the second amendment in this country, an amazing conversation and here is of it. I am in a political firestorm, always been confrontational especially regarding the second amendment and ive never been uncomfortable when they attacked me. I go so you dont recognize its value . What do you think dear are here for . If you dont eat them, what are they here for . On carrying a gun, i would be attacked for carrying a gun. So by the way, venice and his selfdefense are perfect and you are attacking me for carrying a gun and killing deer, what are you, nuts . So i suppose the inclination would be uncomfortable when you were attacked but i was so confident that with my dad and brothers dear hunting, its perfect. Literally perfect. Balancing the herd, participating in gods Miraculous Creation as an asset to bring balance and thriving conditions and im a Sheriff Deputy for the most 40 years now, get out of here. So tactical capabilities to stop evil, could it be anything but perfect alicia it is literally perfect. So my hunting and my guns, they are perfect and the beatniks and the hippies would attack me for those things because if you are comfortably numb, you think it happened in spite of the trail of tears, here is a Battle Cry i believe in. You pearl harbor me, i nagasaki you. Tucker and that keeps us at peace. The best way to keep pieces to be ready to destroy evil and if you dont destroy evil, it wins venezuela, cuba, china. Democrats. Chicago, are you kidding me . Who doesnt see the glaring evidence . So ive always known i was in the righteous camp not because of my opinion of whats righteous but i consume evidence, i monitor evidence, i listen to stories, i see John Belushi got high, John Belushi is dead, i went hunting, im still ted. Bad behavior, ugly results. Cognizant, conscientious behavior, happiness. And by the way dont confuse comfortably numb with ultra relaxed. I am a bow hunter. I spent more hours silent in a tree then all humans combined. Our nation has jumped in were all these Alphabet Soup organizations have not and i am a member of the whitetail, while i, i bet you love that. Tucker i know them well. So hunter nation. Org is where it starts. What do i do . Go to hunter nation. Org and see what were doing because its not about hunting, really, its about god from the family, country, and the traditional values that make people take their lives into their own hands to get here because theres this unique freedom that is guaranteed by those sacred documents and again, those are just documents. The freedom is already here. I was born with the right to keep and bear arms. I was born with the right to speak up. I was born with the right to privacy from Government Intrusion without just cause. I couldnt come here naked without any constitution and i know i can say what i want to say. I dont have to get the kings permission. Kings, emperors, tyrants, we are a selfgovernment. We are in charge, we hire people to represent is based on the selfevident truths and if you infringe on them, we will fire you and dont make us rescue. Tucker its so simple, this is how i conduct my life. I love it. Ted nugent, ladies and gentlemen. We also had a long and very interesting conversation with hollywoods most famous fixer, he told us a lot of things including about the more than 17 years he spent in prison and told us one story about the time he was offered a 500,000 bounty to get dirt on michael jackson. He was that part. You get out of prison, need to be a living, The Easy Way Out would be to write the book. Our viewers can look it up. For over two years. Tucker you could have written a book, all the famous people at the cmas. Just to tell the truth about michael jackson. I wont rat on anybody. Tucker even someone who is deceased. Wears the honor and that . Where is the honor . I know what happened, and i know what i did about it. Thats all thats important to me. Tucker you dont need to tell other people about it. What, for many . No thank you. My brother has been pushing me and says you dont have to mention names are due this, just tell how you would handle things. I might be interested in that, but every person that ive come across, every producer, every documentary producer, every person who has come my way has said tell me about this. I would say why would i go to prison and spend all that time in prison and then tell on people. Does that make any sense to you . No. So the attitude i went in with his attitude i came out with and is the attitude i will die with. I am never going to tell on my clients. Tucker maybe thats why you are not angry because youre at peace with yourself. I love that. Her you can tell when a man is at rest inside and you are. I love myself. I can look in the mirror and say i love you and i mean it. Ive got all the confidence in the world. I have never lacked confidence ever. Im going to tell you this, i dont know if it will make a lot of sense to your viewers, but there was a poem that had an immense effect on my life. A man who knows how to live can walk abroad without fear of tiger or rhinoceros. In him, the tiger has no place to use his craw or a place to place his horn. He will not die because there is no place for death to enter. What that means to me is total, absolute confidence that you can conquer anything including death. I heard that poem when i was like 14 years old, and it stood with me. One other thing. When i was a little boy, my mother went to a Place Called Woolworths and she got a couple of lithographs, one she hung of my Sister And One in mine. Mine was a Little Girl Standing under an umbrella in the pouring rain with really exaggerated raindrops if you can picture this in your head and a puddle of water. Underneath it, it said come with me. Every morning, i woke up and saw that. Every night before i went to sleep, i saw that. And subliminally, it stuck. Come what may, whatever comes, i can handle it. Ill take care of it. Im not worried. Confidence. Tucker the total collapse of the afghanistan project continues tonight unfortunately.

Tucker welcome back to a special Labor Day Addition of Tucker Carlson tonight. The catastrophe unfolding the afghanistan could have been prevented. The people that know what theyre talking about recognize that the total failure of leadership. Lower logan understands what is happening in our country better than most Journalists Part of our recent conversation. Tucker i am fixated on your metaanalysis that what we are watching happening is only happening because the u. S. Government is allowing it to happen. And on some level must wanted to happen so the taliban are dismantling american Weapon Systems and bring them back, why in the world would we want something like that . That is a question for the biden administration and the Intelligence Agencies because they are the ones watching it happen in real time and they are the ones with the power to change it and theres pictures of it. Whether it is afghan troops driving their humvees, got an Intel Brief that came in europe and showed taliban fighters dismantling a helicopter. They know far more than i know. And they have the power to change it. I dont have the power to change it, but we are supposed to use the accountability that is built into the first amendment to hold people to account and get them to give us real answers but youre not having that because why . Ambiguity increasing. We are arguing about whether or not the afghans are corrupt, whether or not they look at them or they all just gave up. Not trooper they didnt all just give up. There were also other. Thats where it becomes more complex. In nobody is talking about on the world stage, its like the virus. It its very simple in The End, we can argue and scream and everything about the virus, they dont create vaccines, they dont create treatments to save the world, they let their people die of the most basic diseases so we know they have Fire Weapons Facilities so when we send research, we know we are sending it to a bio weapons lab. Its always simple. The truth is always very ample. It may have it may be complicated answers to it and you may feel very you may have a whole range of complex reactions to it and emotions and whatever else but the truth itself is always very simple because it either is true or it isnt. You either knew from the beginning that the virus was manmade or you didnt. You know how these things are engineered, they are engineered and a host so they never come out of a lab, its just that its in the lab. Tucker very good point. So the taliban will be running afghanistan now . The united states has made this deal with the taliban. Nobody asked why the u. S. Made a deal with taliban. They have been negotiating, the u. S. Is negotiating without the afghan government. They have not been at the talks. Tucker the whole democracy, No One even pretends anymore. We are not for democracy. Back. Who is we . If you look at the united states today, the narrative that is being reinforced on the world stage, every country in the world is watching, every indigenous force or tribal community or whatever, every u. S. Ally, every enemy is watching. The message that we are sending is the american idea is not worth fighting for. But as it is based on a lie. In the moment when the very people asked to fight for it are dying being hunted down and slaughtered, what is happening to those Government Employees or the women who went to Government Or Event on tv, what do you think has happened to them . Whether it happens quickly or pursuing a clandestine strategy and control the information coming out in order to get what theyve been promised by the u. S. The u. S. Will recognize them as a legitimate government of afghanistan and will take your Tax Dollars and mine. Thats what theyre going to get out of it and thats one of the things we know about. How much do we not know about . Tucker so the u. S. Government is funding the taliban. Considering we know how much money and support the pakistanis have given to the Taliban And Weve been fighting the pakistanis, weve always been funding the taliban literally while our troops are being named on the battlefield, we are paying the people who put them in the ground. Tucker if youre the united states, its a democracy, you have to bow to the will of the population and they want to withdraw from afghanistan after 20 years, previous administrations said they were doing it. You are joe biden, your job is to get us out of afghanistan. How would you do it better than the way they did it . I wouldnt make a deal with the enemy, first of all because you dont need the permission of the taliban to withdraw, do you . Tucker you dont. Good point, lower logan. And why did you make a deal with the taliban . A Peace Deal . Wheres the peace . What piece are you talking about . Dont attack my soldiers, but keep killing afghans, the people we have fought alongside . Thats the deal that we made. Tucker One Of The Best parts of having a long Interview Format is you get to listen. Received, just translate. He told us the story that he had never said to anyone. He told us what saved him in his life seemed out of control. People do some pretty cool things in their 40s and 50s. Why should saving for retirement be any different .

Now back to Tucker Carlson. Tucker welcome back to a Special Edition of Tucker Carlson tonight. Actor Jon Voight has been shunned to some extent in hollywood because his political views differ from the majority. When we sat down with him, we expected to talk about politics but we didnt. We wound up talking about Jon Voights spiritual journey and told us Out Of Nowhere the moment when he believes god saved him from a very dark place. Heres a clip from that conversation. I was in a lot of trouble at one point had a divorce, had some problems and i was in this little house and i was really suffering for many reasons. My career was in flux at that time and lots of things were going on. My relationship to my kids and wife. And i was on the floor. I found myself on the floor saying but so difficult. So difficult, set it out loud. And i heard in my ear it supposed to be difficult. Can you imagine . Can you imagine . Tucker a separate voice telling you that. A voice of wisdom, kindness, clarity. It had so much resonance, theres a voice. Tucker what a message, it supposed to be difficult. And boom, what . And i got up and i can tell you, tucker at that time, i knew, i said what it meant was im not alone. Everything is known, everything is known. I am known. Thats what it meant to me. Tucker did you expect it when you were calling out . No. Now i have to proceed with my life, right . But i felt this tremendous energy. Somebody is reading for me like dont give up, theres a purpose here. Youve got a ways to go, son. He know what im saying . Whatever you might imagine that it meant, and i felt great. And so the next morning and i am not a person who really prays with the idea that anybody is listening. Now i know we are covered, man. Everything we think, everything we say, everything. Just two kids, we all are known as being observed and helped and loved. And we are expected to get up and do battle, do something, do whats right, whatever it is. Theres a purpose here. And the purpose here is to learn our lessons and grow and whats the big deal . To give to each other. To be here and to be of help. This is what you figure out. But anyway, at that moment, i was just interested in me surviving so the next morning, i get up and i said what have you got for me today . And i turned on the radio and heres what came up. I swear, this is what happened when i turn the radio on, im having fun, you know what i mean . Im not taking myself too seriously, but its serious. I turned on the radio and say ill build a stairway to paradise with a new staff every day. Its another one. Wait a minute, whats going on here . Anyway, i had that kind of thing going on for several days when things were happening to me and then i started i was kind of drawn to certain things from that point on and i had had many, many experiences but that was the beginning. Tucker so thats the moment when you realized god knows you, hes real and is on your side. What were the implications of that . I had to straighten out. Im going to be a vessel for god, id better be cleaner than i was coming you know what i mean . Be a righteous fellow. Tucker how hard was that . Ive always had good examples In My Life. My dad was a very righteous man and ive had many good people In My Life so i just got off track a little bit and i realized ive worked since then to be a better father. Tucker what did it do for your Joy Levels for the way you feel every day . Thats interesting, just a couple of days ago, i was asked about something and i said i have fear of the lord. They say have fear of the lord. Ive got it. I am really afraid. I am afraid of offending god, right . Because god is everything, god is love, all these beautiful things, beauty, everything, and how can i live up to that . I need a lot of help but i think thats the fear of the lord, it keeps you on track, you know what im saying . Its not a fear of frightened of getting attacked by anything. Its a fear of offending, fear of not living up to him, fear of doing the wrong thing, of making a terrible mistake, all of that, but ive been a happier fellow. I may not look like it right now, i dont know what i look like, but im a happy fellow. Tucker one of the most interesting and newsworthy interviews weve done recently is with a virologist to escape from china. Was there at the very beginning of covid. She told us covid was manufactured by the Chinese Military in a laboratory in wuhan and she knew that for a fact. Big tech in this Country Censor the conversation but now it turns out she was right.

Com tucker welcome back to a special Labor Day Edition of Tucker Carlson tonight. Covid lockdowns began as a profound overreaction to the Virus And Theyve become increasingly untenable, even absurd. The state of oregon for example says you cant go outside without a mask even if you are vaccinated. Whats going on here . One of the few people who saw this very clearly from the first day as jesse kelly. We talk to jesse kelly, he told us why these lockdowns are so destructive and why they are hurting people in ways they dont even perceive. Heres part of that conversation. Tucker we learned in February March 2020 that this pandemic is on the way, the country shuts down and everybody has to make have the decision how do we respond to this, how does your Family Respond . I went to work and my kids went to school. What we did during covid, the idea that you stop an economy from moving in response to a virus, any virus, the idea that you point to your economy and say stop in response to a virus is the most financially devastating idea in the history of mankind. In the history of mankind. What we did during covid by pointing to our economy and saying stop, we didnt just crush Small Business and jobs in the bad stuff you can say. What we did is we laid out a blueprint to our biggest enemy on exactly how we will respond to a virus and if people think china who is very, very good at warfare in the long game, if you think China Wasnt sitting there making notes and mandarin on exactly how the west will kill itself in response to a virus, youve got another thing coming. If you think thats the last one coming from the chinese sure, people are crazy. Just make sure someone gets sick and we will work ourselves into a panicked frenzy and make sure we slaughter ourselves. Tucker were you afraid of a . That doesnt mean its nothing. Im not saying that, its a very real thing that clearly affects people, especially with existing conditions. Tucker i wonder of your personal view of this. Im 39 years old. I dont have any fear of covid and i dont understand why this is so controversial when you look at the people who have serious effects from covid, i am not in any danger. My wife is in, my kids are in either, i cant believe why would i be afraid of it even if i got it. I will get right back to work, thats what you do. I have a responsibility to provide. Told a Small Business american to go home just destroy everything youve ever worked for and thats to say when youre on cnn when you are buying just sitting there in your Hello Kitty pajamas during your show, thats nice but someone else lost everything. Tucker so you said you didnt get vaccinated which makes it were criminal. Showing who was in danger and who is not in danger. Thats a new thing to me. Tucker we can force people to take a menace and they dont want or dont need. We have sent so many new precedents it will be The End of us. We told people we can force them to take vaccines, we can force you to close your business, i think we forget and im as guilty as anyone else and we have governors and mayors pointed this business and said close your doors. Tucker contemplating the remote possibility that Covid Wasnt natural, didnt come from a pangolin but instead from a Chinese Military lab. A group of virologists signed a letter that said they didnt cause the virus, therefore Big Tech Censored anyone who disagreed with the assessment of themselves. In chinese virologist in the medical journal. Based on firsthand experience at this virus did not come from nature. It came from a Chinese Military bio weapons lab. Big tech didnt want you to see that. Heres what she said. Want to be really clear about what youre saying. They are doing research on it to make it a bio weapon, they tested in wuhan, gets out of control. Didnt expect that to happen. At that point, they realize its out, they lied about that, but then they intentionally allowed some huge number of people, some infected from oconnor to travel around the world to infect the rest of the world. China is so mentioned as the countries learn some of the best technology for many years and then when they found appreciate the virus from Eastern China and then at the functions of the different teams they add one to the virus and carried different functions and target humans. There are a lot of unexplained things that happen in the population and rats also we should understand you can study how many functions. Tucker so many questions. Lets just start with the virus itself. You heard eminent, very famous, highly respected american researchers. I know these kinds of people no way it comes from a lab but what i can tell you is spending many years to infiltrate and also, i know that the people tried to have china for their own purpose so may not have enough, they are lying. They know they are lying. They help Chinas Government for their own sake and again. Tucker they should be in prison if thats true immediately. So you are a virologist so you look at this virus and is it obvious to you it is manufactured . Yes, this is based on the real virus and as i said, all the functions i present in my paper, these Functions Target humans like what function is learned from that, they purposely change the structure of that part of genome to carry your receptor very well and much better than any other animal so thats why you cannot find the nature intermediate host because the other animal so its totally different what happened in u. S. And thats what happened in wuhan at that time. Tucker people starve to death in their home. You dont know if they have covid or not. Tucker but they werent allowed to leave so they just died of starvation. Thats why china claims that they use propaganda with tiktok, media to show it saying chinas great, we should learn from them but trust me, none of you have a terrible policy. Tucker i bet that man sleeps well. Is there anything that keeps him up awake at night . Actually, there is. Mark steyn told us what it is their Special Edition of Tucker Carlson tonight continues.

Tucker when the supreme court made gay Marriage Bill all the land, the decision included a footnote that most people didnt read about polygamy. We will summarize it for you. It basically said Gay Marriage is good but polygamy is bad. They didnt explain why. That has been keeping Mark Steyn up at night ever since. He wants to know why we dont all embrace polygamy. Interesting question. Heres part of our conversation. I am not defending polygamy because i dont practice in all the normal caveats but the same people who are telling you that the nuclear family is outdated and any combination are deeply offended by polygamy. In i was raised to defend it not because im a fan but having a bunch of kids taking responsibility for them, im for that and i got attacked. Why is polygamy the one Family Arrangement that sets them off . Because here, it is traditionally associated with unfashionable people. Basically if you say the Word Polygamy to most americans, they are thinking of some stern faced patriarch in utah with five wives. The fact is statistically speaking in the western world, the main practitioners of polygamy these days are muslims and their arrangements are De Facto recognized by welfare in france, welfare in ontario for the purposes of Inheritance Tax in the united kingdom. And that kind of polygamy No One wants to go anywhere near. As you point out, the left is completely incoherent on this because it doesnt make any difference and therefore, they say no, its like a man taking the wife, thats not what its about. Its about expressing your commitment and your love for each other. The sex of the participants doesnt make a difference, why should the number . Tucker i have made this case and they go crazy when you make that case. I dont really have any kind of vested interest in it either way but i think its interesting. I am not in favor of polygamy but if anything can be anything which is where we are we now, why is it that the polygamists are uniquely outoffavor because they are associated with utah and a particular unfashionable. Tucker if a professional athlete can have nine kids out of wedlock and brag about it and you have someone saying these are my children, i am their father and married to their mothers. Im not doing and not into it by your taking responsibility for the kids, why shouldnt we applaud that . They say on the one hand, they can become worldwide icons because they knocked up a selection of Baby Mamas so theres all kinds of former girlfriends, partners, all these euphemisms. Tucker always a fiance. But they are all basically euphemisms for a man who left huge amounts of Human Wreckage in his way but some guy in utah is taking care of all the children by all his wives, that guy is deserving of unique. The whole point about the leftist worldview is it doesnt have to cohere because they have the power calculation. Tucker that is it for us tonight on our Labor Day special.
