[indistinct question] >> president biden: i think, look to i think we get the vast majority what is going on in -- [indistinct] 98%. i think we have gotten awful close. i am not the scientist. >> tucker: another shot. another. why not? not just once a year. no, not the devout. some people take communion every day. joe biden would like to see everybody on board with this program. everyone believing wholeheartedly in this new faith. he has called for 90% of the united states of america to convert. to get those shots. one, two, three, maybe every sunday. that is a lot, that is a big percentage of people. according to cdc, just 92% of american tour-year-olds are vaccinated against polio. some say polio is almost as bad as corona. but here's the difference. studying polio was never a religion. it was just d science. the whole project was overseen by a logical man called jonah. he did not wear a vaccine necklace. it never occurred to make jewelry. name. never occurred to him to start a cult. candace owens is the host who joins us. thanks for coming on. i have heard people say and i think it is understandable that dead. compared to what we are seeing now vaccination jewelry. candles in the image of tony fauci. help ridiculous is the resurrection, would you say? >> you are telling me you weren't convertedy by kathy? you weren't converted by governor kathy? she was very clear in the bible for those of you who read -- what did joe biden call it? book of "p-salm." he also wanted medical segregation, open borders, hillary clinton to went to 2016 election. i know it sounds like it is exactly what the democrats won. but it is what god wants. we are talking about the democratic party. it is just such a joke. this is the party at their d&c convention, -- they stripped the words "under god from the pledge of allegiance because they said that that was too triggering. that was the party that spent the last four years mocking vice president pence. this is the party that refers to people in the south as bible belt christians. as a pejorative. it is so foolish and i think the american people are going to fall for this obvious scam. you are correct. i have said this has moved from a public health crisis to a mental health crisis and a cult with covid-19. >> tucker: and of course, narcissism. a pure narcissism. it is interesting. this iss the party that lectured us for decades about believe the science. you have this low iq shaman telling youes that you have to t the shot because god wants you to. that sounds a lot like superstition. >> also, if you want to be superstitious, explain how we are being told that just didn't vaccinated or in the hospital but also they have to let go ofn 70,000 and unvaccinated employees because -- i can't figure any of this stuff out. you are not supposedbe to understand a cold. a you just do what they say. >> that is exactly right. i probably should not even status. the left governor of new york was horrible. just a bad person, i would say. but you canan knew they were gog to get someone were. >> i mean, for all his many manifold faults, you cannot imagine him telling you that god demands you get the vax? i would think you would choke on those words. >> i hate to say this but i found that sermon could be creepier than governor cuomo was. it is incredibly creepy to invoke god and to pretend that you had some awakening and that christ is going to review and telling you to get the vaccine. christ wants you to make pfizer a few more billion dollars and then you can be converted. >> exactly. and he will be replaced by somebody. you watch. i see a team here. great to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: you can watch candace this one state on 9:00 "the pursuit of strong which put. to take a step down around the deadline to take the covid shot in new york. politicians know more about healthcare than nurses. right. so if they don't comply with this, the nurses will be fired. they will get no unemployment benefits, unlike everybody else in americaca. including the homeless junkie at the end of your book. the governor of new york, kathy hochul, you saw her in action. she has noticed that vote medically trained national guard troops "will replace entire nurses. out with the nurses, in with the army. you are going to be getting the vax from the army. it is not creepy or anything. it is totally normal. it happens all the time. new york state is also planning that we are quoting here to where medical workers from the philippines and other countries. oh. so this pandemic is so serious we are firing the nurses and bringing in foreign nationals to give you your healthcare. have you noticed we are just destroying the american healthcare system in the process? it did not need to happen. on purpose by the biden admission. thousands of protesters gathered in new york to oppose thisor grotesque mandate. unfortunately, it was not millions, but it was thousands. cnn accused them of being conspiracy theories. >> they are living their own reality and feel that the government is trying to control them by using vaccines. all believing that this is some kind of conspiracy to government to try and control people.is and so it is presenting a real problem for officials who, in new york.ls that is why they say we need these mandates. >> tucker: oh. they are crazy because those nurses know less about healthcare than the politicians and the midget with the microphone on cnn. and they think a covid mandate is an attempt to control you. the government just fires you from your job if you don't do what they tell you to do. because they knowse more about science than nurses. this is peak insanity. at least one lawyer is fine. he is filing suit against these vaccine mandates in the state of new york. representing teachers who havecc an injunction against the mandate. he joins us now. thanks so much for coming on and for what you are doing. so tell us the status of the suit by teachers against the estate. >> well, tucker, thank you for having us as always. today, just a few hours ago, we got some disturbing news that the court of appeals in the second circuit, one of the prestigous in the country. temporary state, a tro granted until wednesday. very surprising unprecedented move at least that i know of to the city came in and asked for an expedited review of that tro. had the court granted it and unbeknownst to us in panel three judges, that ruled against and dissolved the tro and canceled our hearing wednesday, which in effect means governor mayor de blasio's vaccine mandate is now in effect and might cost over 28,000 teachers and department of education their jobs friday. >> just to be clear,de blasio is a lame-duck at this point. he is probably not simply the dumbest politician in america but maybe the dumbest human being with driver's license. is there evidence of any kind that unvaccinated teachers have posed a risk to anybody ever? is there any evidence? >> absolutely not, tucker. you know? the unvaccinated teachers, they are not conspiracy theorists. they don't think the government is out to get them. there's a lot of different reasons why unvaccinated teachers don't want to take the vaccine. if i told you the amount of pregnant women crying on the phone to me in the last week, the amount of women nursing, the amount of single mothers that are going to lose their jobs because they don't want to take the vaccine, it would be shocking. i'm telling you i'm not exaggerating. the numbers are in the thousands that have called me in the last two weeks. and this mandate affects>> 28,00 people. >> tucker: good people with no power whatsoever in our society and almost nobody in elected office is defending them, including the nurses. a nurse decides not to take your medicine, i think you got to assume she knows what she is doing. she is a nurse. no onefe is defending them. you are. and thanks tomi coming on tonig. >> tucker, thanks for having me. vax so that military -- so that women, fight a war. right. pregnant women but air force pink the house of representatives has massive republican support for a defense bill requiring women to register for the draft, and it seems like only one person is really offended by this, he is in congress. he joins us. and there you have it- woah. wireless on the most reliable network nationwide. wow. -big deal! ...we get unlimited for just 30 bucks. sweet, i get that too and mine has 5g included. that's cool, but ours save us serious clam-aroonies. relax people, my wireless is crushing it. that's because you all have xfinity mobile with your internet. it's wireless so good, it keeps one upping itself. >> tucker: so it has been pretty clear over the last month that the leadership of the pentagon is not serving the country and not serving the faithful and honorable people. they have done a terrible job. the only recoursese is the unitd states congress, which has oversight of our military. so the house of representatives just voted for the new defense bill. did they hold anybody accountable? no, they did not. they just spent a whole lot more money. 134 republicans approved this. $700 billion for the pentagon. they don't punish them whatsoever for the general's and the leaders like mark milley who general milley have failed to win a single word. but it also does something brand-new. this built forces women to register for the draft. fmeaning women will now be forcd to fight our words. but there's a version of the defense built with the same requirement. this has gotten very little attention but it is a massive change to believe unprecedented in american history. one of the very few republicans in the congress who has proposes he joins us tonight to explain why. thanks so much for coming on. this is one of those things most people are not aware happen. you have been focused on it. tell us why. >> well, it matters a lot. one reason why is my wife told me if i supported it, she would camping against me. she believes strongly about this, as i do. and five years ago, your department of defense, our department of defense spent $36 million for a study. that study was to study competent effectiveness. you're going to be blown away by this piece of information. they found that $36 million that all male units work more effective 77% than mixed sects -- mixed sects -- mixed-sex units. they would put women into combat. we are not to conduct from entering service. we will have women have to register for selective service. in that same bill, they had red flag laws think they could take guns away from active service duty. they have green new deal garbage. they have critical race theory in there. you don't you have to ask yourself why. it is because of power. it is the defense industrial complex. just like it is that big health industrial congress on vaccines and the big unions and education telling kids that america is evil. and nobody wants to fight these big institutions. that is what we need to do if we want to actually change this.lo >> tucker: once this passes how long until the navy seals are singled out and other special operations units within the military as unacceptably male and why wouldn't this required the deals to bring women into the teams? >> these are the important questions. i got so many of myy colleagues who give these excuses. they say, don't worry. women will never be grafted. in dc, a draft would only be necessary if we have to combat china because they have 30 minutes -- which is it? and ethan tabel say, don't worry. we will never be in combat affecting the trust the federal government? do you trust the same federal government to just abandoned afghanistan, that leaves our border wide open? that is not try to force vaccines into the arms of her children? quickly, people as you pointed out in your opening monologue got people running around with vax necklaces like some sort of nuked cult put this is the government that says, don't worry, trust us. i'm sorry, tucker. i don't trust the government. and i'm going to fight it aboutn every person to call your member of congress and demand that they stand up for that women and girls out there f who will never have an organization defending and fighting for them like gun rights groups or other organizations. we need to stand up for our wives, our daughters, our sisters, our mothers. >> tucker: it cannot be a social experiment. it has to exist to defend the country.y. anyone who is effective in doing that should be serving in a combat unit. and so i agree with you completely. thanks so much for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. god bless. >> tucker: so this summer, we went to hungary to take a look at a country whose government makes all decisions based on what is good. prime minister of hungry said that poland was another place that had a similar attitude about governing. why not? there's a novel idea. we talked to the president of poland. and we did. visit tuckercarlson.com. we will be right back. visit tuckercarlson.com. we will be right back. >> tucker: as we look around the united states, we often think, has a better country ever been led by worse people? probably not. so we have look around the world and we tried from time to time to bring leaders from other country who actually care about their people. that is when we went to hungary to talk to viktore orban. we spoke to him and he mentioned other countries in central europe that have defended their populations against international interference. one of the countries he mentioned was poland. in budapest, i have run into a number of americans who have come here because they want to be around people who agreed with them, agreed with you, do you see budapest as kind of capitalw of this kind of thinking? >> the capital of that kind of thinking or one of the capitals they are also very competitive and producing great ideas and organizing the kind of communities of conservative and christiann democrats. >> tucker: andrzej duda is the president of the olympic mr. president, thank you d for joing us. we know you're watching this happening in the united states and you're watching this massive flow of migrants. it will total over a million this year. something similar happened to europe in 2015. y you pressured poland other nations to accept and poland fought back. tell us why you did that. >> translator: the answer is simple. to the so-called quota system. country would have to accept a given number of migrants. trwe give a clear answer to tha. whoever wants to come to political, whoever is looking for help, assistance, especially refugees looking for shelter because they are threatened by war, persecuted in their own countries, if they want to come to poland, we want them to stay in poland, live in poland but to accept such a person and help them, we do not agree to relocate poland people by force. we do not agree to keep these people in prisons but if these people did not want to stay in ouland. they would want to leave. we are not going to make anybody's day. we are not going to keep anybody against point. >> the american president, joe biden, before he became president, described poland as unfree -- authoritarian place. how have your dealings with the biden administration been since he has become president? >> you just said it would be a very forgettable thing. there's a lot of lies. about poland. some representatives are saying about the current poland's government is totally untrue. the best proof of that is one of the facts that the incumbent government has won the election. they won the election back in 2019. the people are happy with their government right now. they think disc government cares for their interest. this is why they were reelected. and some are furious. they are not able to win elections. and they lost twice in a row. they also lost the presidential election. let me reiterate, it is the loople who choose.t >> tucker: let me ask you aboutr poland's family policy. so poland from the outside appears to have decided to help encourage polish couples to have children. please tell us what you are doing and why you have done it. >> the constitution says that marriage is that unit of a man and a woman and aan family. the first time since 1980 meant that we have embarked upon a great resolute and fast profamily action. when i was running for president in 2015, i also made a pledge and i said that we would start a profamily policy. we offered, we actually announced myself during they campaign and later i was joined by my colleagues who were also running the election to be pledging that we would introduce the program by the name of 500 prize. we were testing, actually. we decided it started from the second child and family. the prince of every child would receive 500. sum of $130. the kind of work for the front many from the state in raising children. this was revolutionized and poland i think nobody can imagine that to not to have to 500 plus program in political it is the best social program we have been able to introduce. but a politician speaking openly, i consider my self to be rather conservative and actually, was always frank about my views. i'm a christian. i'm a practicing christian. i pray i'm not ashamed of that whatsoever. to me, that's value of the family is priceless. i'm pro-life. i defend life. i believe that life is sacred. i believe it should be guarded. and family should have to be supported as strong as they can because family is the foundation of every nation. the support with which we offered families with eight political perspective is key importance. we also have used other programs supporting families. was a part parents with the book child starting school with programs, -- so we pay 300 to the parent of every child going to school to buy a set of books. pencils, stationery. whatever the child needs. that is a very difficult moment when the school year begins. families have to spend more money. turns out 300 is important. it also contributes quite big support on top of the 500 plus which every family gets per child. >> tucker: inspiring to hear that. thank you for sitting down and talking to us. we appreciate it. good to see you. >> translator: thank you very much. and my best greetings to you. >> tucker: not every country in the world is run by reckless lunatics who hate their own people. it is nice to be reminded of that. the full version of that interview with the president of political will be posted on foxnews.com. remember the video last week of the racist lunatics screaming at students at arizona state university to sitting in seat and being the wrong color?
