that's really not surprising. the bill is one of the biggest in all of human history, nearly 2,500 pages long. it spans $3.5 trillion. where does that money come from? it was just newly printed by the federal reserve for the occasion. the provision in question was hidden on page 168 of that bill. here's what it says. going forward the federal government will bankrupt any company that refuses to comply with joe biden's vaccine mandate. do you have an unvaccinated worker in your office? the fine for that will be $700,000 payable to the u.s. treasury for each and every one of those workers. even by the standards of washington, that is a lot of money. here's a comparison. in june the federal government penalizing chemical company in west virginia after its plant exploded killing an employee and sending two others to the hospital. the fine in that case, $12,288. there you have it. written out in black and white. the moral priorities of the democratic party. killing people in chemical plants is bad, about $12,000 bad. but not getting a joe biden mandated covid vaccine, that's much, much worse. how much worse? it is 58 times worse than killing people in a chemical plant explosion. democrats did the math on that and they wrote it down. this whole approach if you take three steps back to covid is a little weird when you think about it. if you really wanted to protect the public, the american people, from this virus, the first thing you would do is encourage them to be healthy. meaning get off your phone, get outside, spend some time in nature, maybe lose some weight. that's meaningful. that all works. we know it for a fact. it's sign. and then people with higher risk factors like older people, people with preexisting medical problems, probably want to get the vaccine. definitely worth it for them. they should. everyone else can look at the numbers and assess. they can choose for themselves, as they do with every other medical decision. the federal government is not requiring you to get surgery for prostate cancer. if you get it, you get to decide. so that would be a reasonable response to covid. might actually improve the country rather than destroy it. that's very far from what they're actually doing. the reason is politics. from the beginning of the outbreak, politicians have turned what they told us was a public health response into something that's very much like a political campaign. in a political campaign, the side is your enemy. so all of a sudden the public has become an opponent that politicians must subdue and defeat. how do you feel about opponents who are working for you in defeat? you feel loathing and contempt. that's how they do feel. take a look at this video from yesterday. it shows democratic congress woman from iowa, she is explaining her party's response to covid. she doesn't say anything that remarkable. it's how she says it. listen to how she talks about her constituents. she so clearly hates them. watch. >> now all the schools are back wanting to put mask mandates in and all the anti-vaccine crazies are out there. it's a hot mess. christian right is -- everything under the guise while they hold a cross, for god or whatever. they use it like a weapon. it's painful to watch because they weaponize religion. they weaponize politics. >> tucker: christians are weaponizing. notice all the abortion clinics they closed. all no it was democratic politicians that close churches, speaking of weaponizing public health. but you just heard the congress woman, the anti-vaxer crazies, the christians holding a cross for god or whatever. it's hard to remember those are actually human beings she's talking about. weakest human beings in our country. you would never know they are real people because she clearly loathes them. she hates them. you hear this tone a lot from politicians. a lot. it's not sympathy. certainly not empathy. it's not even a sincere attempt to make people better or healthier. it's hate. here's the mayor of new york threatening to hurt anyone who doesn't get the shot, whether they need it or not. listen. >> most people, vast majority of people, even though who say they didn't want to get vaccinated, make a different decision when it becomes very very practical. now someone is really looking at the possibility they won't have a pay check for a prolonged period of time. they may even lose their job. lot of people will say, hold up. i'll get vaccinated. >> tucker: we'll take your pay check away. just punch you in the face or starve you to death, beat up your kids. turns out if you hurt people enough, they will do exactly what you say. that actually works. bill deblasio is clearly a moron, but even he understands that. it does work. united airlines announced it is firing 600 people. why are they doing that? they don't want to pay tens of millions of dollars in fines. now 600 people are unemployed. oh by the way, they have no health insurance. that's how we're making mesh healthier. got it? this is not just happening in the airlines. in hospitals mass firings are now under way. where's the congress in this? good question. meanwhile, one hospital in north carolina just canned 175 people. remember, this is a public health crisis, right? maybe we shouldn't empty the hospitals of the employees. it was already nationwide a severe shortage of nurses. hospitals are closing wings 'cause there's no one to staff them. now there are fewer people. none of the people can collect unemployment. they're done. they're destroyed. they're punished. these aren't the ceo's of big companies. these aren't people who live in affluent neighborhoods. these are hourly workers. these are people the democratic party used to care about. these are people with no power whatsoever who work around sick people for the duration of a deadly pandemic. and rather than thank them, we're firing them, with no unemployment benefits and no health insurance. a lot of them, in new york the deadline for health care workers has already passed. according to the most recent figure, 16% of the state's hospital workers, 83,000 people, remain unvaccinated. 80% of those workers have not gotten a single dose of the vaccine. that means they're going to be fired. the question is once again, who's going to staff the hospital in the middle of this public health crisis? that's an easy answer according to the governor of new york. the state of new york is going to use the military to do it and then hire temp workers from the philippines. lunacy. by the way, once again why exactly are all these health care workers, thousands of them nationwide, refusing to get the covid vaccine? that is an entirely fair question and no one is asking it. it might be worth finding out. you can't say it's people who don't understand the science. they might know more about health care, considering that's what they do for a living. they treat people with covid every day. it's not like they're uninformed. what is it, exactly? it's not a few people. it's thousands. why? no one cares. punish them. they're weak. now crushed. meanwhile, as we're firing nurses and doctors, we're letting thousands of illegal immigrants in this country, many infected with diseases, including covid. you're not supposed to say that because it's some sort of slur. but it's factually true. in fact, not only is it true. secretary of homeland security just admitted it. he explained 20% of the people coming across the border have an unidentified illness of some kind. here it is. >> we are confronted with a population of people that, as a general matter, have a rate of illness of approximately 20%. >> tucker: oh, okay. so we're firing healthcare workers because they won't get the vaccine and then letting in thousands of people whose enemies we can't verify, who are sick with diseases we can't always identify, including covid. none of them are required to get the vaccine, in contrast to the nurses we just fired. that leaves our hospitals short staffed, many more sick people coming in who will need treatment at public expense. who's doing that? and why? what is the point? they're telling us that healthcare workers need to be fired immediately because they are a threat to the country? this is all happening very, very quickly. it's happening without any medical basis whatsoever. remember, it was just last year that joe biden was telling us that health care workers are heroes. and he was right. >> to all the doctors and nurses who work in the icu units, hope you all know you're truly some of the greatest heroes this nation has seen. take tracy in massachusetts. she's a nurse who's been treating veterans with covid-19 every day she's had to put on a hazmat suit and go to work for 12 hours days on end. if it wasn't for folks like tracy, our own families wouldn't have a chance to be reunited. you want to find a hero in america, they're all around us, and tracy's one of them. >> tucker: that's 100% right. anyone who's ever been sick and has ever spent any time in the hospital knows one good nurse makes all the difference. they really are some of the best people in the country. why are we firing thousands of them? why is joe biden doing it? as a scientific matter, it doesn't make any sense. unvaccinated health care workers do not pose a threat to their vaccinated patients or coworkers, period. if you're vaccinated, you will likely be fine. that's what the data shows. that's what they tell us day after day. vaccinated people have a greater chance of dying from a lightning strike than dying from covid, unless they die from a bee sting, dog attack. those are the numbers. we hear them very often. so why are unvaccinated people a threat to them? not one person has answered that question. no one is even asking it. why are we firing them? why are we blaming them? why are we in their face attacking them? demonizing them. but no one's pushing back. this is coming to border patrol, the entire federal government. mass firings are likely to control in the border patrol agency. it's crazy. but if there's one sad lesson, maybe the saddest lesson of this pandemic is that authoritarianism is alive. listen to the crowd's reaction as phil murphy equates not getting the covid shot to drunk driving. >> saying that governments can't mandate a vaccine or no masking is akin to supporting drunk driving. it impacts the person driving drunk but all the rest of us. that's not the way we beat this. >> tucker: how is it like drunk driving? how do unvaccinated people hurt anybody? phil murphy, got a second? we've got time. explain it to us. it was a year or so ago if a politician said that, they would be laughed off the stage. a politician that endorsed firing thousands of health care workers during a pandemic, calling them criminals, dehumanizing them, would be deviled. now it gets applause. it's because our leaders realize leverage fear to crush tphaeur political opponent. if that means fining people $700,000 for employing someone, throwing the weakest people in our society out on the street with no unemployment insurance and no health insurance, they'll do it. one of the victims of this latest purge, an icu nurse who just left her job at a hospital in indiana because of vaccine mandates. she joins us. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you. thank you for having me. >> tucker: it's our honor to have you. tell us why you left your job. >> i left my job when policies were being rolled out at our hospital that would ultimately initiate the segregation of its staff on who was vaccinated versus who was unvaccinated. so mandates hadn't been rolled out yet. they weren't forcing us at this point to take the vaccine or be fired. but they were rolling out policies that gave different treatment to vaccinated people versus unvaccinated people. and it was not only that i was uncomfortable with that and unwilling to cooperate with that kind of treatment, but unfortunately, i had seen this treatment play out to may patients as well, where doctors and unfortunately some nurses that i worked with were bullying and harassing my patients for making a medical decision. but as a nurse, i took an oath. that oath was to practice and up hold the standards of my profession safely. number one, in the nursing code of ethics, it's patient's autonomy and right to self-determination. when i felt i could no longer work in this environment that would uphold that commitment i made as a nurse, i knew i had to make a decision and it was time to walk away. >> tucker: this is poisoning our lives. you are an icu nurse and treat people with covid every day, how do you feel when politicians tell you they know more about medical care than you do? >> i feel infuriated. it's frustrating. it's disheartening because, unfortunately, so many people in the public would rather tune in to a politician and their ideas of covid and how it should handled rather than listening to a medical professional who's been on the front lines through it all over the last year and a half. it's maddening. i can't believe what's going on. >> tucker: i can't either. no one's stepping up to protect people like you. really a distressing moment. cassie, thank you. >> thank you. i appreciate it. >> tucker: so, everyone knows from watching television reading "the new york times" the only people who haven't gotten their vaccines are members of the qnr army. turns out just 30% of african-americans between the ages of 18 and 44 are fully vaccinated. hispanics are the least vaccinated population in the country. so those mostly are not republicans, but you would never know that from reading the popular press. the coverage of covid has taken an openly political path. people who don't get the vaccine are considered criminals, right wingers. this headline, time to start firing unvaccinated people. trump fans are due for a lesson in consequence. that's health care in america 2021. glenn, you've watched this whole thing from afar, year and a half into this. now virtually every part of the government's response to covid seems to have political overtones. where does that leave us? >> yeah. i mean, it's hard for me even to endure listening to liberal discourse about covid any more. usually when someone has a view that's different than mine, i can isolate their rationale they're using to come to that conclusion, even though i don't agree with it. i'm at a complete loss to understand what the argument even is. on september 9th when president biden went to the white house an gave a speech on covid to announce his covid mandate for large employers, he said -- this is not me. joe biden said, if you're fully vaccinated, the chances that you can get severely ill -- not even die, just get severely ill, are very low. the statistic he gave, out of every 150,000 people who have been vaccinated, only one ends up going to the hospital with a serious illness. the risk if you're vaccinated is almost zero, which means what danger do unvaccinated people pose to people like me who listen to that and went and got the vaccine? i can't comprehend the argument. and yet when joe biden imposed the vaccine mandate, he said, because he had to, to justify why he could do it legally, the bottom line is we need to protect vaccinated workers from the dangers posed by unvaccinated people. what dangers do unvaccinated people pose to those who are vaccinated? none. it is purely punitive. it is a way of saying, if you don't obey us, if you don't defer to our superior wisdom, we are going to inflict pain and suffering on you and take vengeance on you for your defiance. that is all that this is about. it >> tucker: it's hurting my brain. you said you're vaccinated. you can be vaccinated. you can love the vaccine. you can have nine booster shots. that's not relevant to the debate here. the question is, should people who don't want it be forced to get it? and if so, why? no one can explain that. thank you for restating that. i'm baffled all day long every day. glennn greenwald, appreciate it. lieutenant colonel steve sheller is tonight, he remains the only member of the united states military who has been punished following the disaster in afghanistan. what did he do wrong?

here's how it went. >> when people in the military like lieutenant colonel stewart scheller stand up and demand accountability, admit that you all screwed up, he points out general mille's statement the government of afghanistan is not going to defeat the taliban, he ends up in the brig. you end up in front of us. you former employer ratheon ends up with applause. >> the american people want and deserve accountability. we even have service members like lieutenant colonel scheller being thrown in the brig. everyone in the d.c. bubble appears to have some sort of immunity from the basic standards the rest of america is expected to live by. >> tucker: yet many other republicans, including some who were pro military like liz cheney, defended the pentagon. of course. steve and kathy scheller are the parents of stew scheller. thank you so much for coming on. this is one of the wor worst stories i have ever seen. tell us first how your son is doing. >> we don't know. he is in prison tonight, tucker. he's been in prison since monday. we talked to him for two minutes monday. he gave us two messages. he said call my attorney. we did. he said tell everyone. so we appreciate you having us on. we appreciate you allowing us to reach out to your listeners, because this story is outrageous and it needs to be told. >> tucker: i can't remember being as offended by anything as i am by this. it's so completely wrong. have members of congress reached out to you? congress approved promotions in the united states military. they can shut that down tomorrow until your son is released from prison. have you heard from any members of congress? >> yes. i have heard from senator from utah. i have heard from my local senator. our local representative, brad winstrip, has been unbelievable and very supportive. we have heard from a number of them. at the same time, we've heard more, probably in the last 24 hours since we have asked americans to find their voice and stand up and call their congressman. so i believe this is why we heard it on the senate floor two days ago. this is why we heard it on the horse floor today. lieutenant colonel scheller's name is being discussed because americans are demanding accountability. we appreciate that, america. >> we really appreciate it. and what you need to know, also, is that they announced to his lawyers this morning with less than 24 hours notice that he will be in trial tomorrow. they dumped a 640 page document on them in 24 hours. they're trying to bury our son. >> tucker: this is all for making a face book video that was entirely truthful. i see the pictures of your daughter-in-law and grandchildren. little kids. how are they doing?

>> no. the children right now are small. we're trying to protect them. >> tucker: i hope you're able to. do you have any idea why he's being held in the brig? has anyone explained to you what the charges are going to be? >> no one has told us. i don't believe he's been charged yet. no one has told us what the charges are. before i go too much further down this, i do want to say thank you to the american people. i want to ask them to, if possible, to pray. it's going to take a congressman to donate high hitters foundation.org. there's a tab for who they represent. you can donate for lieutenant stuart scheller. i'm used to calling him stu. there's a tab. so many people are saying, what can we do? it would not have been on the senate floor if americans had not spoken up. >> tucker, you asked what did he do? probably a week or two ago, maybe it was a week ago, they put him under a gag order. they took away his right to post, to talk on social media, to e-mail, to text. he shared it with america. and he knew this weekend when he posted again. >> an broke silence. >> he broke his silence, that they were probably gonna arrest him on monday. he is a very intelligent man. he understands what's going to happen to him. we have been -- he broke chain of command. i say last night on a program, tucker. his crime was speaking truth to power, and power couldn't handle it. i also said while he broke chain of command, austin, miley, mackenzie, they broke the chain of trust and confidence in the american people. we're mad. we're mad as hell. and i'm asking the american people to find your voice, stand up, demand accountability of your congress people. ask for lieutenant scheller to be freed. in my opinion -- of course, i'm dad, so it's probably not fair. i think he should receive his pension after 17 years of fighting for this country. i think he and his family should have their health benefits and va benefits for the rest of their lives for the sacrifices he's made. >> he needs to be out of solitary confinement. he is not allowed to call anyone or to have visitors. >> it is outrageous. >> tucker: this whole thing is crazy. i was just saying, it's hard to believe this is happening in the united states. i think our viewers agree with you 100%. i'm sorry about your son. we're going to be covering this wherever it leads. kathy and steve scheller, thanks. >> thank you, tucker. >> thank you. >> tucker: we've got internal documents from one of the biggest social media companies in the world. turns out they knew the damage they were doing to children, particularly young girls, and they did nothing about it. we'll show you those documents straight ahead. aaaand welcome back to guess the price. sal. what do you do?

>> money. they make billions off of the data that they get from users including from teens. plus, there's lots of kids 12 and under who are on those platforms even though they're not supposed to be because facebook doesn't enforce that age limit consistently because no one makes them enforce that age limit. you're right. they're getting away without pretty much any regulations when other things that we know hurt children are very carefully regulated. >> tucker: it's pretty obvious just to nonresearchers that something went wrong with american society right around the moment computers became pocket sized and social media became the form through which people communicated. those are not co-indens, are they? >> i don't think so. pretty much every indicator of mental health among teens started to suffer right at the time smart phones became introduced and then when they became popular around 2012. that's indicators of depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide. it's not just the increase at the same time. it's that things fundamentally shifted around that time. they stopped spending as much time in person and started communicating online, through platforms like instagram. then that is a very poor recipe for mental health. being in your bedroom all the time on your smart phone, as opposed to actually being with other people. >> tucker: get a dog, go outside. that is the recipe for happiness. point of fact. jean, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: so comedy died on late night. it's not there any more. the hosts are promoting pharmaceutical companies. but there are a couple medians who decided that they're going to continue to tell jokes because they have integrity. jim brewer is one of them. he joins me next. right now at tucker carlson.com, you can get the new book. we'll be right back. talking about mental health it's not a sign of weakness, but really a sign of strength. people sometimes don't want to talk about mental health, they don't want to talk about problems that they might have that aren't physical, but those problems are just as real. i have this disease you know, and it makes it awkward that i have to explain myself or prove myself in certain situations. a lot of times i'm not feeling good or you know not having a good day, but through the music i'm able to have a good day by expressing something that feels good to me that i can pass onto others. one of my favorite phrases to share with not only my kids but anybody is never compare your insides to someone else's outsides. we are creating conversation we are raising awareness and we're kicking the hell out of this stigma saying get away from the people we love the most. ♪♪ >> tucker: jim brewer was on saturday night live, but he is still funny. he had a great conversation with him for a brand new episode of tucker carlson today. >> don't say you need to take this. you go talk to that person's parents. you go talk to that person. you say it to their face. with your blind emotions and your blind finger pointing and your soullessness and your thoughtlessness and your carelessness and pure dark agenda. because let's not kid ourselves. there's something deeper involved here, i'm sure. ya think?

>> well, tucker, you and i both know that the federal government is never going to secure the border. they never have and they never will. this clearly is an invasion, and i can tell you, i will never ask permission from the federal government to secure the texas border. i'm going to use the united states constitution, that's article one, section ten, which clearly gives states the authority to defend themselves from an invasion. i'm going to engage all the texas military or national guard, 20,000 or more, we are going to secure the whole river. and if anyone gets across, we're going to immediately take them back to the other side and send them back home. and most people don't read -- we have 25 bridges over the river, i'm going to make sure we stop all inbound commercial traffic from mexico, and this is strategic, to make sure we put the economic pressure on mexico so they secure their side of the river. i love mexico, but let me tell you, they are being a very bad neighbor. we need to finish the wall. i don't care if you call it trump wall or texas while, i'm going to build hundreds of miles of it, i'm going to spend billions of dollars doing it, because we need to spend the money, that's a good trade. texas taxpayers spend a lot more than that every year and look, this could have been done seven years ago or seven days ago. the only chance, like i said, as if a courageous governor, and lord knows we don't have one right now, and we need to get a new one, and i can tell you that i'm going to do in 30 days what no one has ever done in 30 years, and that is to secure the border. >> tucker: it's not complicated. countries around the world do it with no technology and tiny budgets. it just takes will. unfortunately we don't -- at some point i would love to get a straight answer for why greg abbott, who i think seems like a good guy, he's no liberal or anything, but he hasn't done this and he hasn't done this on purpose and i think it's very odd and it's kind of wrecking our country, so i hope you or someone else does do it and i appreciate your coming on tenant. thank you very much. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: thanks very much. we are out of time, bumping up against the next hour, we will be back tomorrow. in the meantime you can watch our interview with comedian jim brower, who is really smart and still funny -- unlike pretty much everybody else who is practicing so-called comedy on television and just chilling for big pharma instead. of course we will be back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., show that is the sworn enemy of line, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. in the meantime, a full 18 seconds earlier, sean hannity is going to take the wheel. >> sean: who's counting, you know. thank you, tucker. welcome to "hannity" and breaking moments ago, joe biden, he walked out to the annual congressional baseball game and he got a big chorus of boos. take a look. [boos] >> sean: well-deserved, his policies are disastrous, he is now fast becoming the single most unpopular president to serve and in record time, and for good reason. >> america held hostage, abandoned behind enemy lines, day 46. >> sean: 46 days and counting, hundreds of our fellow americans, thousands of our
