would get a lot of attention from a superpower like this one. ukraine is a small country. it's in eastern europe. it's 5,000 miles from washington. it's got a population about the size of california. hugely significant? not really. yes, we never seem to stop talking about ukraine. as a vice president of the united states, joe biden spent this time meddling in the internal affairs of ukraine. because of his influence in the company, his son, hunter biden, got a job i got rich. donald trump was impeached for speaking on the phone for an official from ukraine. we are moving closer to a war over ukraine. in the coming days, russia may violate ukraine's eastern border. this, we are told, cannot stand. in washington, the territorial integrity of the united states means precisely nothing. we are a nation of immigrants. but, the territorial integrity of ukraine, that is something we must fight for. a watch a remarkably broad spectrum of political figures and explain on all three cable networks to explain that if the russians crossed the ukrainian border on an undocumented caravan, we can use of force immediately. >> we will move nato assets closer to russia if they bring war to ukraine. >> is not going to be that simple. i think we should be doing more. we shouldn't just be considering a diplomatic track. >> there needs to be consequent as for what they do. we fail to deter. now, you are inviting conflict. it's a bad situation. we let ourselves without many options of the result. >> i don't think we are providing the deterrents necessary to stop pollution from invading the ukraine. >> it is time for the biden white house to start speaking more clearly and more aggressively and telling us how they are going to stop this invasion from happening. >> they are read in the face. it is not the usual partisan chorus. this is the entire choir. you justice are representatives from every action and all the domains in between, and all are promoting war against russia on behalf of avenue and deeply beloved ally, the government of ukraine. vladimir putin is our most dangerous enemy, they are screaming, "we cannot let him hurt ukraine." russia-gates was more effective than we realized. in washington, the theme remains "russia is bad!" what is this about it, exactly? it's the usual collection of children falling for the usual collection of lies, but why this specific lies? on tuesday, we wanted to get to the bottom of this. we spoke to a man called clint ehrlich. as he pointed out, there are a lot of factors driving us towards war in ukraine, but one central one is nato. what is it and what is the purpose of nato? no one can answer that question, not one person. yet, the same people who cook it up the iraq war are insisting ukraine must join nato anyway. that would put american military hardware on russia's border. russia doesn't want that anymore than we would want russian missiles in tijuana. the irony is that nato doesn't want ukraine to join them. the whole thing is nuts. it serves no american interest whatsoever. this is a power-hungry -- in washington looking for work. here's part of what clint told us. >> we have people who are arguing that even if the russians don't invade the ukraine, we need to kick the russians out of crimea. that was an op-ed from a senior obama administration official this week. i would say it's simpler than that. we are dealing with warmongers, people whose policy prescription's could have deadly consequences. nato does not want the ukraine. it is a corrupt country, more of a liability than it would be a military asset. people argue he needs to happen because russia should not have a veto over who is in nato. in other words, even when it's in our mutual interest to not have a state in nato, we have to insist they will be added just to spite the russians. >> that was interesting. those seem like fair points. if they are wrong, explain how. we will listen. official washington is done explaining anything, as you may have noticed. instead, the same foreign policy geniuses who brought markets to be a went insane with grace. not since we made fun of pregnant flight suits have they been this matter. "fox host unabashedly makes putin --" it shows how they disinformation successes of russian intelligence extend beyond trump. noted by men who cannot even run a small circulation magazine but imagines he should run our country's foreign policy. then, a former dnc contractor called alexander actually both announced that the opinions violated the law. it is in journalism, she wrote, "it is an ongoing violation. tucker carlson needs to be prosecuted as an unregistered agent of the russian federation and treason under article three section c clause one of the u.s. constitution for aiding an enemy and hybrid warfare against the united states. "a death penalty offense! what alexandra chalupa did mention she has ties to the ukrainian government. she contacted them about president trump's campaign. now she says that anybody who does not believe americans should die for the ukraine must be sent to prison. virginia congressman jerry connolly did not go that far, but close: he called us right wing agitators spewing propaganda into homes. then, encouragement from california, who literally had sex with chinese spy multiple times. this "carrying putin again!" then, one of barack obama's speechwriters claimed we were on the side of f no nationalist authoritarianism. so, if you don't support fighting a war on behalf of all white ukraine against all white russia you, my friends, are a racist. and, so on. what is interesting is that there was not a single argument, a single idea in any of it. these aren't just twitter controls. these are people who imagine themselves foreign policy relates, deep thinkers, statesmen in the when challenged, they went ad hominem immediately. they had nothing else. they are pathetic. they may be pathetic. they are also powerful. the end, it's up to pork, hairs to explain why we have to fight for the honor of the ukraine. it started with deep thoughts on foreign policy." on the subject of ukraine, i will tell >> vice president harris: on the subject of ukraine, i will tell you: if putin takes aggressive action, we are prepared to levy serious and severes, period. part of the posture we have taken is grounded in the respect and value we placed in sovereignty and territorial integrity. >> tucker: [laughs] reading her talking points as vehemently as she can. the best? the emphasis "we place, the value we place on territorial integrity: borders, sovereignty, the right to determine who comes into your country and then pick that is a word from, harris, the lifelong open borders activist. putin had a better imagination, but apparently doesn't. he painted on russian tanks "no person is illegal." what would kamala harris say to that? on what grounds would she say russians who just won a better life with their families in the ukraine that the kids come to the ukraine? if the russians -- lazarus, kamala harris would have to support them and their voting rights in the ukraine. unfortunately for them, the russians are also soap literal for this. when they invade a country, they just call it an invasion. you still have to wonder, invasion or not, why is any of this profound concern of ours? why would you consider risking american lives or sending billions of dollars to stop it? there are multiple border wars underway around the world, multiple just on the continent of africa right now. there always have been. many are dying in those wars, and yet, harris is not agitating for american troops to congo. how come? we can only speculate. but we do know is that the administration's russia policy would only make sense if your goal is to greatly hurt the united states of america. already, we have spent nearly $4 billion in aid to ukraine over the last few years, much of it for a weapon. is to tweak russia, and of necessary, to kill russians. our leads feel superior about it morally, brag about it constantly. it is a win for them. what about the cost to the rest of us and our country? china is the preeminent threat to the united states. nothing comes close. here's the truth: the u.s. military, impressive as it is, is not big enough to engage meaningfully, simultaneously in europe and asia. can't do both at the same time. our attention to the ukraine, by definition, detracts from our attention to china. worse and more dangerous than that, more dangerous than anything: it drives the russians into an alliance of convenience and necessity with the chinese government. here, you have our two biggest rebelses united, against our currency as well. when united states dollar is replaced as the world reserve currency, this country will become poor overnight. this will be one of the reasons why. it's hard to imagine anything more significant, more destructive than what these people are doing right now. it's not just about ukraine. it's about our future. doug mcgregor is a retired army colonel, joins us tonight. it seems like an awful lot is at stake here, dog, and i don't hear anybody making the most obvious points, like "why are we driving russia into the arms of an alliance with china?" don't they see it's? speetwo tucker, first of all, thank you for pointing out that both the democrats and the placebo party, also known as the republican party, are both equally committed to the dumb idea of a war in eastern europe against the eastern russians, marginal to us strategically, but of great interest to russia, where they have high strategic stakes. there are three problems with the whole approach. number one, i am sure you watched the press conference with the president. >> tucker: yes. >> doug: wide and has become the metaphor for a declining great power. everyone senses this. all of the heads of state around the world, certainly putin and xi, no that we are not the country of 1984. we are declining in terms of our military, economic, and political influence paid second they come our record of interventions have been abysmal failure. nothing has worked. everywhere we have gone has turned into a disaster in the last 40-50 years. finally, the timing could not be worse! the americans are not interested. the american people have no interest in going to eastern europe to fight russia! why not? look at the economy. it's fragile. if anything, it continues to deteriorate and fail. it's not just supply chains and stores that have shelves that are empty. the living standards in this country are falling for the majority of the american people. they know it. the idea that we would now embark on a war after we have wasted trillions over the last 30 years on interventions is incomprehensible to americans. washington, left and right, is out of touch with reality." >> tucker: it's a most everybody in both parties. this is a great country. you can't do stuff like this, i don't think. >> doug: there is something else that's worth mentioning. nato, after the collapse of the soviet union, saw its position or mission in the world as preventing another war in europe, not permitting it, not cultivating it. >> tucker: [laughs] >> doug: for god's sake, that's what all the europeans wanted. if you think the front, the british, the norwegians, anybody in nato is going to back up and immediately rushed east to invade russia, they are out of their minds. this has no future. if anything, this is going to end nato before they are through. >> tucker: doug mcgregor, thanks so much. so, biden's a full year into his presidency. not doing well, he knows that. he's going full insurrection, as he is questioning the legitimacy of the upcoming midterms. he wants to stop the steel! [laughs] hearing them at this press conference yesterday, so in doubts about our democracy. >> speaking of voting rights legislation, if this isn't passed, do you still believe the upcoming election will be fairly conducted and its results will be a legitimate? >> president biden: well, it all depends on whether or not we are able to make the case to the american people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election. >> tucker: kamala harris was asked about this. we are going to show you the clip, you can look it up. it turns her, she is an election truth are too. she doesn't think it's on the level! she think selections are being stolen. that's a common view in congress grade >> are you concerned that without these voting rights bills, the election results won't be legitimate? >> i'm absolutely concerned about that. >> questioning the legitimacy of our election? where is liz cheney? she's always on the hunt for insurrectionist undermining democracy. dan holloway joins us. most of the "drinking brothers podcast." here, you have the leaders of our country undermining democracy questioning the legitimacy of elections. how can this stand? >> dan: it's pretty crazy. in november of 2020, the biggest threat to our democracy was calling a federal election illegitimate. in 2016 in november, the biggest threat to our democracy was an illegitimate election because of the trump russian collusion, which is super interesting. earlier in 2016, hillary clinton used the money to pay a foreign agent to fabricate all of that, which is an actual threat to democracy. i'm not sure where we go from here. >> tucker: maybe, the rest of us are at least partly at fault by taking them at their word and understanding terms by their literal meanings. maybe, we should not believe anything they say, and assume the opposite is true. >> dan: maybe that's true. don't believe the spin from jen psaki either. chris believes -- robert reichman right on the stump right after biden said this. another one to make thing i want the viewers to remember: 2020 was the most fair election of all-time, pristine, perfect, but if we don't pass this legislation now, which takes voting rights away from the states and put them in federal control, then we can't guarantee the legitimacy of elections ever again, i guess. that is the lesson we are being asked to take it from you guys. >> so, january 6th committee, liz cheney's committee, nancy pelosi's committee, is stealing the text messages of journalists and political consultants who doubted the fairness of the last election, and leaking them to the news media. do think they are going to subpoena the text messages of kamala harris? speech you know, i don't. it's a clown in the world. it's the same thing that's going on with the filibuster right now. the filibuster was fine for 2-300 uses in the last legislative cycle when trump was president. all. all of a sudden, that too is a threat to democracy. i guess that is the hot button word these days. you call something i threat to democracy, and that's what it is. it turns out that the democrats are fair weather fans of democracy. they like it when it works for them, but when it doesn't, everything is an existential threat. >> tucker: well put. dan holloway, great to see you. thank you. if you have not listened to howard stern recently, please don't. it's depressing. a man of enormous talent has become craven. his radio show. he is using it to push paranoid cowardice. if you are interested in what is happening, we have the tape. this is elodia. she's a recording artist. 1 of 10 million people that comcast has connected to affordable internet in the last 10 years. and this is emmanuel, a future recording artist, and one of the millions of students we're connecting throughout the next 10. through projectup, comcast is committing $1 billion so millions more students, past... and present, can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities. the pandemic made teaching and learning really hard. but instead of working to help students safely return to the classroom, the san francisco school board focused on renaming schools and playing politics. and they've even saddled our district with a $125 million deficit. our children can't wait for new leadership. here's our chance for a fresh start. on february 15th, please recall school board members collins, lópez and moliga before our kids fall even further behind. >> tucker: howard stern, by any measure, is one of the great radio hosts of all-time. he has made a huge amount of money for doing what he does, but there's a reason for it: he is incredibly brave. vulgar, yes, but truly talented, but above all, courageous. defended free speech, was fired for it repeatedly, fought government censorship, gave the finger to the man. there's a lot of things impressive about howard stern. that briefly allowed him to be creative, but not anymore. maybe it was the coronavirus that broke him, changes in middle age. he is now a coward. his broadcast is about cowardice, amplifying his fears about corona over the air. attacking anybody else who has decided to live life as a free person. >> howard: one are we going to stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say "that's mandatory to get vaccinated?" [bleep] them and their freedom. i want my freedom to live. i want to go next door and play chess, take some pictures. this is [bleep]. >> tucker: this is a guy who has had every vax available and still hides in his basement because the vaccine works so well that he can't go out. right. can't disagree with the aaron rodgers, for example, decided to make his own medical decision to not get the vaccine. howard stern was in rage. he said aaron rodgers should be kicked out of the nfl appeared socializing is off-limits to howard stern. he scolded oprah because she had the audacity to host: brace yourselves: the christmas party. >> howard: i am amazed by oprah, i really am. in her instagram, she likes to take you into her house, where every night of christmas is a big party, celebration, she flies in a different shaft chef. everyone is sick. people have a 104 favor. i don't want to get sick. i'm hiding. everyone else is out running around. i see oprah's having dinner parties. >> tucker: the guy was always a narcissist, obviously. the show was about himself. but, again, he had spirit, bravery, but he's declined in this quivering mass of neuroses and hatred, hatred that has so overtaken him that anyone who is not overtaken by his command should die. >> howard: if it was up to me, anyone on vaccinated would not given permitted to a hospital. it had plenty of chances. they don't trust our government. they think there's some conspiracy to turn them into a magnet or something like this. in my america, all hospitals would be close to you. you can go home and died. >> tucker: so, if you don't trust the government, you don't get health care, and you should die. the bigger question is why did this brave creative guy become a tool, a craven tool of the powerful wishing death? there's something sad about this, really sad. humidor has what should happen. we are happy to have her. what is this that we are seeing? >> is there anything creepier than a guy who looks like a heavy but talks like a fed? [laughter] >> tucker: that's good! >> can't we all -- howard stern, doesn't anybody care about howard stern anymore? he's just a poor guy who wants to go outside and feel the breeze in his wake! that's all he wants to feel. what is weird to me as he went from being a bad boy to becoming hillary clinton's buddy. he's about as dangerous as a pair of plastic scissors. what happens is the establishment gave him $400 million, and now he is the establishment. instead of standing up to the oligarchy in the government and authoritarianism, now, he's preaching it. he's like a bully to get you to do things the government wants you to do. it's the opposite of freedom, the opposite of what comedy is supposed to be. you are supposed to use comedy to undermine the status quo, poke holes in it, make fun of it. he's now using his platform to prop up the status quo, authoritarianism. by the way, he's doing exactly what the oligarchy wants him to do, which is blame your neighbor. he's not going to blame -- "why are the hospitals so clog"? you don't want hospitals clogged. the next time he needs chin liposuction, he won't be able to get in. the point is we have been cutting hospital beds. in new york state alone, they cut 30,000 hospital beds in the last 20 years. we went from 1.5 million hospital beds down to 925,000 since 1975. you know why there aren't enough icu beds? is not profitable to the private equity firms that administer our hospital emergency rooms now. abel don't this. in 2018, there was a huge outbreak of the flu, and every hospital was overrun, and they were treating people intense! for the flu! the idea that the covid patient is the person you should be angry at instead of the oligarchs that have been getting rid of hospital and icu beds because they are not profitable -- of course that's what howard stern does now, because he is the status quo. there is no point to him anymore. you live long enough as a hero, you are, i guess, going to turn into don imus. that is what happened to howard stern. it is sad to watch. >> tucker: i don't even know what to say. go jimmy dore! he looks like a bee, he talks like a fed. that was perfect. thank you for that. after nearly two years, the proud return of one of our favorite segments.

[laughter] not saying much, but it's true. [laughter] joining us tonight as well, jesse watters, also of "the five" and is taking over on "jesse watters prime time." jesse is a graduate of trinity college in hartford, connecticut, a fact that prevents that college from falling to the bottom of the u.s. -- ranking.

it can also deplete your coq10 levels. i recommend considering qunol coq10 along with your statin medication. the brand i trust is qunol. >> tucker: we told you about the biden administration's latest attack on the civil liberties of political apartments. the justice department has created a new division devoted to harassing and imprisoning conservative activists. these are people joe biden repeatedly refers to as "white supremacists." this is a term that you will notice joe biden never defines, get he would like us to believe that this shadowy group of serious bad people poses "the most lethal threat to the homeland." in other words, they are worse than al qaeda. it's ridiculous. everything about it is ridiculous, yet biden and his minions keep repeating this talking point and upping the stakes, as they do. last week the administration indicted 11 january 6th protesters on charges of sedition. the indictments are fascinating. the first thing you learn is that these people are not al qaeda. they are patriotic veterans, working class people the elderly. they love their country for more than the bureaucrats who indicted them. at the same time, as you read their texts to each other in the indictments, which the government secretly gathered, it's obvious they are terrified. these are people who genuinely believe united states is falling apart. why do they believe that? it's a question we ought to ask ourselves but rarely do. the main reason they are so upset is because life for them in america has become measurably worse over the course of their lifetimes. here's one thing that has changed dramatically: communication private anymore in this country. it's impossible to communicate with anyone anywhere without the chance that somebody is listening to you. every email, every text, every supposedly secure and encrypted messaging app, all of it can be monitored by politicized government agencies working in concert with politicized tech companies. much of it is. everyone who pays attention as this is true. we live and a surveillance state. these -- would be envious. we realize how destructive it is to live in a surveillance state. human beings need privacy. privacy is a prerequisite for freedom. privacy is also essential to mental health. crazy people often imagine they have no privacy. that's the hallmark of their mental illness. they think other people are reading their thoughts. but, what if there right? if ten years ago, someone had told you that the government was intercepting your emails, you would've been pretty unsure that person was mentally amounts. if you heard it now, you assume that's true because it very well might be. think about what that means. what only paranoid's once believed the entire country now knows to be true. so, people who were already on the edge of motion we have got to be moving swiftly around the bend. the government is driving them there! this is dangerous! whether intentionally or not, the biden administration is creating radicalism. they are making people volatile. they are making the country unstable. by the way, the endless racial techs aren't helping. less than a decade ago, a black man won the majority of the popular vote in this country. maybe that was too much progress for the democratic party, because ever since, they have been screaming about how "you are a racist." most americans have done a good job of ignoring this, but then emma you wake up one morning and they are handing out life-saving medical treatment on the basis of skin color, along with jobs, contracts, et cetera. the last thing you want to do is think about your own country in racial terms. it's awful. nobody wants that. but, at this point, they are forcing it! it's all incredibly unhealthy. it's making people insane, and at some point, it may drive someone to do something truly awful. in the summer of 1992, federal agents murdered an unarmed woman and a child in a place called ruby ridge in idaho. less than a year after, bill clinton's justice department killed more than 80 americans during the siege in waco, texas. dozens of children were shot and burned to death. the media acted then and now like this was no big deal, perfectly normal! the public know better. one borderline personality type responded by buying fertilizer and fuel oil, and in the spring of 1995, blew up 168 people at the federal building in oklahoma city. it was awful! imagine if something like that happened now. we would never recover. violence against innocents is always wrong, always tragic no matter who commits it. it's not a political question. it's a moral question. it is an absolute. but, in a political environment like this one where the people in charge are salivating at the thought of going full soviets, the u.s. as we know it would be over. right away, or core freedoms would disappear overnight. we would be enslaved. that would be a disaster on top of a disaster. so far, there is no suggestion that that will happen in this country. in the face of vicious prosecution, conservatives have remained nonviolent command thank god for that. let's sincerely hope they stay that way. so, they pulled the statue of teddy roosevelt down in new york city. it's been there for 18 years. vandals posing as politicians to get down. why did they do that? we will explain next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> teddy roosevelt became president in 1901. he was one of the greatest americans to ever live. he was a scholar, statesman, swordsman, the father of six, the youngest president in history. on the average day, teddy roosevelt wrote more words, read more books, played more games more vigorously and made more significant decisions than the average person does in a month, including present company. he was the paragon of masculine energy as well as a thoroughly decent person. if your son grow up to be teddy result, he would die happy. of course, our current leaders hate teddy roosevelt. this magnifies their mediocrity and their smallness. they are nothing compared to the man teddy roosevelt was, and they know that. this week, vandals posed as politicians tore down a teddy roosevelt skipped dominic statue. that stood for more than 80 years where it should have been: right in front of the american museum of national history. if you are going to turn it into something awful, the country, it's dangerous for people to know that men like teddy roosevelt once existed in the united states. you can to let them know. you can't speak his name. you must erase him. the details of his life are dangerous. in october, in manhattan, they put up a statue of george floyd. , the violent criminal and drug addict. he's our role model now. it tells you everything. have a great night. sean hannity, now. >> hannity: welcome to "hannity." fox news alert: the 45th president of the united states, donald j. trump, is only moments away. we have a lot of ground to cover. serious crisis at home, serious crisis abroad. aydin's first year at the white house has been an abject failure, and yesterday's train wreck marathon press conference only made everything worse. look at the cover of "the new york post."
