GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY.
♪
>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT.
HERE’S AN INTERESTING
OBSERVATION/THEORY.
THE SLOGANS THEY YELL THE
LOUDEST ARE THE ONES THEY
BELIEVE THE LEAST.
WE’VE BEEN NOTICING THAT
RECENTLY.
VOLUME IS INVERSELY PROCEED
IMPORTANTLY TO SINCERITY.
MAYBE YOU SCREAM IT BECAUSE YOU
DON’T REALLY BELIEVE IT.
WHY DO WE THINK THIS?
HERE’S WHY.
THE VERY SAME PEOPLE WHO TOLD US
FOR DECADES NOW THAT IT’S MY
BODY MY CHOICE AND SEEMED TO
MEAN IT WHEN THEY SAID IT, THOSE
SAME PEOPLE ABANDONED THEIR OWN
ARGUMENT IMMEDIATELY WHEN COVID
ARRIVED.
SUDDENLY, ON A DIME, THEY TURNED
AND THEY WERE DEMANDING THAT WE
WEAR THE MASK AND GET THE SHOT.
BUT THESE WERE NOT OPTIONAL
SUGGESTIONS.
THEY WEREN’T DEEPLY PERSONAL
DECISIONS MADE ACCORDING TO THE
DICTATES OF INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUS
AFTER CONSULTING WITH FAMILY
PHYSICIANS AND CLERGY.
THEY WEREN’T BETWEEN YOU, YOUR
DOCTOR AND GOD.
NO.
NOT AT ALL.
THESE WERE MANDATES.
ALL OF A SUDDEN DEMOCRATS WERE
ARGUING THAT ACTUALLY
POLITICIANS DO GET TO DECIDE
WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY.
IT’S THEIR CHOICE, NOT YOURS,
INJECT THESE POWERFUL DRUGS
WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT
BECAUSE WE OWN YOU.
NOW, WHATEVER ELSE THAT IS, THAT
IS NOT A PRO CHOICE POSITION TO
PUT IT MILDLY.
SO AS WE WATCH THIS HAPPEN, WE
WONDERED, WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE
GOING TO SAY THE NEXT TIME
SO-CALLED ABORTION RIGHTS GET
CHALLENGED IN COURT.
AND NOW WE KNOW THE ANSWER.
BECAUSE LAST NIGHT, THE SCORE OF
THE UNITED STATES RULED ON A NEW
ABORTION LAW IN THE STATE OF
TEXAS.
THAT DECISION CAME DOWN BY THE
WAY 5-4.
THAT’S THE EXACT SPLIT THAT
DECIDED ROE V WADE ALMOST 50
YEARS AGO SO IT’S GOOD ENOUGH TO
HAVE MEANING.
THIS TIME THE COURT UPHELD A
TEXAS LAW THAT EFFECTIVELY BANS
ABORTION ONCE THE FETAL
HEARTBEAT IS DETECTED TYPICALLY
ABOUT SIX WEEKS INTO A
PREGNANCY.
THIS NEW LAW DOES NOT THE
GOVERNMENT OF TEXAS TO ENPORTION
THE BAN SO NO ONE’S GOING TO
JAIL.
INSTEAD THE NEW LAW ALLOWS
CLINIC THAT COMMITS ABORTION.
NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT
ABORTION HARD TO ARGUE THIS IS
AN ESPECIALLY RADICAL LAW.
INTENTIONALLY STOPPING A
PERSON’S HEART FROM BEATING IS
THE DEFINITION OF KILLING.
GOVERNMENT HAS A RIGHT TO
REGULATE THAT.
IN FACT DECIDING WHEN IT’S OKAY
TO KILL A PERSON IS ON THE WHOLE
LEVEL THE WHOLE REASON TO HAVE
LAWS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO WHETHER IT’S RIGHT OR WRONG
OR YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, IT’S NOT
A CRAZY STATUTE.
IT DID HOWEVER DRIVE THE MEDIA
CRAZY.
HERE’S CBS, QUOTE, NEWS LAST
NIGHT.
>> IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO
GET AN ABORTION IN TEXAS, THE
MOST RESTRICTIVE ABORTION LAW IN
THE COUNTRY WENT INTO EFFECT
AFTER THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
DECLINED TO BLOCK IT.
>> TEXAS HAS ESSENTIALLY
OUTLAWED 85% OF ABORTION
PROCEDURES WHICH WILL FORCE MANY
CLINICS TO CLOSE.
AMY RUNS FOUR CLINICS PROVIDING
ABORTION SERVICES AND IS ONE OF
THE PLAINTIFFS ASKING THE SCORE
TO INTERVENE.
>> IT’S HEART BREAKING TO DENY
THEM THE CARE THAT OUR STAFF ARE
FULLY TRAINED AND READY TO
PROVIDE.
>> SO REALLY MOST PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO BE FORCED TO CARRY A
PREGNANCY AGAINST THEIR WILL.
>> THE LAW, SIGNED BY REPUBLICAN
GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT BANS
ABORTION ONCE A SO-CALLED FETAL
HEARTBEAT IS DETECTED, USUALLY
AROUND SIX WEEKS.
>> Tucker: HOW IS AN ABORTION
SERVICE DIFFERENT FROM AN
ABORTION, WHY NOT CALL IT WHAT
IT IS.
HERE’S THE BEST LINE FROM CBS.
A SO-CALLED FETAL HEARTBEAT.
IMAGINE SAYING SOMETHING LIKE
THAT OUT LOUD.
WHAT IF THEY DECIDED YOU SHOULD
DIE THEY WON’T EVEN ADMIT YOU
HAVE A HEARTBEAT.
DO THE VERY WORST PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY GO INTO JOURNALISM OR
DOES IT SEEM THAT WAY.
YOU’LL NOTICE CBS DOES NOT MAKE
A CASE FOR ABORTION.
NO, THEY DIDN’T TELL YOU WHY
IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO STOP FETAL
HEARTS FROM BEATING THEY JUST
ASSERTED THAT IT IS.
WHAT THEY DIDN’T DO IS SAY A
SINGLE WORD OF HOW THIS VIOLATES
YOUR PHYSICAL AUTONOMY, HOW IT’S
YOUR BODY, YOUR CHOICE.
THEY CAN’T SAY THAT NOW.
THEY’RE FOR MANDATING VACCINES
AND MASKS.
SO IN THAT WAY AT CBS THEY’RE
SMARTER THAN THE PROTESTERS ON
YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW.
THESE GATHERED OUTSIDE AUSTIN
TODAY AT THE CAPITOL.
THEY’RE HOLDING SIGNS WITH THEIR
PHYSICAL AUTONOMY.
YOU CAN’T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO
WITH THEIR BODIES.
POLITICIANS HANDS OFF MY BODY.
WAIT A SECOND.
AT THE VERY SAME MOMENT THEY’RE
CLAIMING THEIR PHYSICAL AUTONOMY
AND THEY’RE WEARING THEIR
OBEDIENCE MASKS AND YOU CAN BET
THEY’RE VACCINATED?
WHY BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD TO
GET THE SHOT AND THEY OBEYED.
THEY DON’T SEE THE IRONY HERE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, HOW COULD
THEY SEE IT, SO FEW SANE PEOPLE
ARE LEFT OF BIG FLAT FORMS IN
THIS COUNTRY THEY ALMOST NEVER
HEAR A LOGICAL SENSIBLE ARGUMENT
ABOUT ANYTHING.
JUST HOURS AGO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE
ACLU, THE AMERICAN CIVIL
LIBERTIES UNION RELEASED THIS
STATEMENT AND WE’RE QUOTING.
FAR FROM COMPROMISING THEM,
VACCINE MANDATES ACTUALLY
FURTHER CIVIL LIBERTY.
YOU HAVE MORE CIVIL LIBERTIES
WHEN THEY CONTROL YOUR BODY.
YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE THE 18 60s
VERSION.
FAR FROM COMPROMISING CIVIL
LIBERTIES SLAVERY ACTUALLY
ENHANCES FREEDOM.
IT IS A NOT EVEN ORWELLIAN AT
THIS POINT.
IT’S POST OR WELL.
THIS IS UNCHARTED.
THINGS ARE CHANGING SO FAST THAT
A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE LEFT ARE
HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH
THE SHIFTING JUSTIFICATIONS WITH
THE POLICIES THEY WANT.
POOR JEN PSAKI.
NEVER A GENIUS TO BEGIN WITH,
UNINTENTIONALLY BLEW HERSELF UP
TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
BRIEFING.
WATCH THIS.
>> WHY DOES THE PRESIDENT
SUPPORT ABORTION WHEN HIS OWN
CATHOLIC FAITH TEACHES ABORTION
IS MORALLY WRONG?
>> WELL, HE BELIEVES THAT IT’S A
WOMAN’S RIGHT, IT’S A WOMAN’S
BODY AND IT’S HER CHOICE.
>> WHO DOES HE BELIEVE THEN
SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR THE UNBORN
CHILD?
>> HE BELIEVES IT’S UP TO A BOMB
TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND UP
TO A WOMAN TO MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS WITH HER DOCTOR.
YOU’VE NEVER FACED THOSE CHOICES
NOR HAVE YOU BEEN PREGNANT BUT
FOR WOMEN OUT THERE WHO HAVE
FACED THOSE CHOICES THIS IS AN
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT THING.
>> GETTING THE SOPHOMORE
YEAR-ENDER STUDIES FROM MS.
SAKE.
HERE AT WESLEYAN MEN DON’T GET
TO TALK ABOUT A,ERING.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PREGNANT?
I DON’T THINK SO, YOU CAN’T GET
PREGNANT BECAUSE YOU’RE A MAN.
ABORTION IS A WOMEN’S ISSUE SHUT
UP.
THEY’VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR SO
LONG THEY FORGOT TO UPDATE THE
TALKING POINT.
JEN PSAKI SHOULD KNOW MEN GET
PREGNANT NOW.
THE SCIENCE PEOPLE TELL US THAT
EVERY DAY.
MEN GET PREGNANT, IT’S ON THE
COVER OF MAGAZINES, ON THE COVER
OF PEOPLE MAGAZINE A DUDE THAT’S
PREGNANT.
WHAT’S THAT MEAN?
ABORTION IS NOW A MEN’S ISSUE,
MEN ARE CHILD BAREERS, SO MENS,
DUDES, HAVE AN EQUAL RIGHT TO
TERMINATE THEIR PREGNANCY AND
WEIGH IN ON THE POLICY ITSELF.
IT’S NOT A WOMAN’S ISSUE ANYMORE
JEN PSAKI.
SHE MAY GET AN OUTRAINED CALL
FROM CONGRESSWOMAN CORI BUSH
FROM ST. LOUIS WHO WAS ON THIS
EARLY.
WATCH.
>> I SIT BEFORE YOU TODAY, AS A
SINGLE MOM, AS A NURSE, AS AN
ACTIVIST AND A CONGRESSWOMAN,
AND I AM COMMITTED TO DOING THE
ABSOLUTE MOST TO PROTECT BLACK
MOTHERS, TO PROTECT BLACK
BABIES, TO PROTECT BLACK
BIRTHING PEOPLE.
>> CORI BUSH IS ON THIS.
MAYBE SHE SHOULD BE WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY.
SHE KNOWS IT’S NOT A BOMB’S
CHOICE.
IT’S A BIRTHING PEOPLE CHOICE.
SO HOW IS IT AN ATTACK ON WOMEN
TO BAN ABORTION IN TEXAS?
OH, THAT’S A TOUGH ONE.
THEY’RE NOT REALLY SURE.
SO ON MSNBC THEY’RE NOT EVEN
TRYING TO EXPLAIN.
THEY JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
IF YOU’RE FOR THIS LAW IN TEXAS,
YOU’RE THE TALIBAN.
>> AND WE HAVE A SITUATION IN
TEXAS RIGHT NOW TONIGHT WHERE
THE AMERICAN TALIBAN, BECAUSE
THAT’S WHAT IT IS.
THERE’S NOT AN AMERICAN
EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT, THERE IS
AN AMERICAN TALIBAN, WEIRDLY
SIMILAR IN SO MANY WAYS TO THE
MIDDLE EASTERN ISLAMIC
TERRORISTS.
>> YOU JUST FEEL SO SORRY FOR
THESE PEOPLE.
AMERICA IS AGAIN CHANGING SO
FAST THAT LIKE PEOPLE OVER 16
WHO AREN’T ON TIK TOK HALF THE
DAY CAN’T KEEP UP.
THERE WAS A TIME LIKE TWO WEEKS
AGO WHEN THE TALIBAN WERE THAT
BEFORE THEY WERE A CRITICAL
MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY OR TALKING DAILY WITH
THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR AND
WAITING FOR THEIR AMERICAN AID.
THE AMERICAN TALIBAN?
THAT’S DIFFERENT.
UNFORTUNATELY UNLIKE THE
POSITIVES TUNE TALIBAN, NO ONE
IN TEXAS IS GETTING TENS OF
BILLIONS IN FREE WEAPONS FROM
JOE BIDEN.
THE NATIONAL WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION
ISN’T GETTING BLACK US WHAT AND
AR-15s.
IT’S DIFFERENT TO BE THE
AMERICAN TALIBAN BUT THE
TALIBAN’S STILL BAD?
NO THEY’RE GOOD.
WE NEED TO UPDATE OUR TALKING
POINTS.
BUT, STILL, THIS MSNBC ANCHOR,
THE MOST FIERY IN THEIR LINEUP,
WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IF YOU
TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES, YOU’RE A BAD
THEIR BODIES, YOU’RE A BAD
PERSON UNLESS YOU’RE TONY FAUCI
IN WAY CASE YOU’RE AMERICA’S
DOCTOR AND HERO WHICH REMINDS
HER OF A BOOK SHE READ MAYBE THE
ONLY BOOK SHE READ.
>> BY NEXT SUMMER WE COULD BE
LIVING IN OUR OWN VERSION OF THE
HAND MADE’S TAIL WHERE FORCED
BIRTH IS THE LAW IN LARGE
SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY.
AND SENATOR WARREN, YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE THINK IT’S HYPERBOLIC
WHEN I TWEET ABOUT THE HAND
MADE’S TAIL COMING TO AMERICA,
BUT I DON’T THINK IT SEEMS
HYPERBOLIC NOW.
DOES IT TO YOU?
>> NO.
>> Tucker: LIKE THE GREATEST
QUESTION EVER ASKED.
E LIZ BIT WARREN, DOES THAT SEEM
HYPERBOLIC TO YOU?
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN SAY TO
ELIZABETH WARREN IN WHICH SHE
WOULD REPLY THAT SEEMS
HYPERBOLIC, SLOW DOWN A LITTLE
BIT, REIGN IN YOUR RHETORIC.
BUT WHEN MSNBC GETS ELIZABETH
WARREN DOESN’T MATTER WHAT SHE
SAYS, CNN HAD AEN TO I CAN AND
THEY DID EVEN WENT FARTHER THAN
MSNBC, TO ASSESS YESTERDAY’S
COURT DECISION ON ABORTION, CNN
FOUND A MAN WITH PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE, JEFFREY TUBE IN.
NOW TUBE INNIS MOST FAMOUS FOR
MASTURBATING ON ZOOM, THAT WILL
BE DEFINE HIS OH BIT
UNFORTUNATELY.
THERE MAY NOT BE ROOM FOR THE
FACT THAT HE ONCE IMPRESENTING
MAINTAINED A DAUGHTER AND FORCED
HER TO GET AN ABORTION.
IN THE PROCESS OF PUSH HER TO
GET AN ABORTION, JEFFREY TUBE
INLEARNED WHAT A LOT OF CRAPPY
MEN LEARNED OVER THE YEARS WHICH
IS, THIS IS A GREAT OPTION IF
YOU’RE A MARRIED GUY WHO DOESN’T
WANT TO PAY FOR MORE KIDS WITH
RANDOM WOMEN.
SO JEFFREY TUBE INMEANS IT WHEN
HE TELLS YOU IT’S BAD.
WATCH?
>> TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY THAT A
STATE COULD LEGALLY BAN
ABORTION, AND ROE V WADE DOES
NOT EXIST IN THE STATE OF TEXAS
AND PROBABLY IN MORE STATES TO
COME.
TEXAS HAS BANNED ABORTION IN THE
STATE, AND THE SUPREME COURT HAS
DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT.
THAT IS IMMENSELY SIGNIFICANT
MOSTLY FOR THE WOMEN OF TEXAS,
29 MILLION PEOPLE IN TOTAL LIVE
IN TEXAS.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ROE V
WADE?
THAT COULD EFFECTIVELY END ROE V
WADE.
WAS THAT AN OVERSTATEMENT?
>> I DON’T THINK SO.
THE POINT OF ROE V WADE IS THAT
STATES CANNOT BAN ABORTION.
>> Tucker: IT’S IMMENSELY
SIGNIFICANT FOR THE WOMEN, HE
MAN EXPLAINS.
THEY’VE BEEN TELLING YOU THAT
FOR A LONG TIME WHEN THE TRUTH
IS EVERY PORTION WHO LIVES HERE
KNOWS ABORTION IS THE BEST DEAL
FOR A MAN WHO IMPRESENTING NATES
THE DAUGHTER OF THEIR
CO-WORKERS.
ABORTION WHO UNTIL RECENTLY WERE
HAVING ALL THE BABIES UNTIL MEN
GOT INVOLVED HAVE ANY SAY ABOUT
IT.
WHEN YOU ASK THEM NOT MANY FEEL
GREAT ABOUT IT AT ALL.
PEOPLE LIKE JEFFREY TOOBIN FEEL
FINE.
IT’S HIS PREROGATIVE BUT
WHATEVER THERE HE IS LECTURING
US ABOUT ROE V WADE A SACRED
FIVE FOUR RULING THAT INVENTED
THE RIGHT OF ABORTION OUT OF
NOTHING.
HERE YOU HAVE A DULY ELECTED
STATE LEGISLATURE RIGHT NOW IN
2021 CONTRADICTING THE FIVE
UNELECTED JUDGES WHO CONCOCTED
THE RIGHT TO ABORTION BACK IN
1973 AND JEFFREY TOOBIN IS SUGGESTING THAT IS AN ATTACK ON
SUGGESTING THAT IS AN ATTACK ON
DEMOCRACY, WHEN ELECTED PEOPLE
CONTHE, ARE, AVEIN ELECTED
PEOPLE WHO DIED DECADES AGO.
MILLIONS OF NORMAL AMERICANS
RECOGNIZE THIS MOMENT FOR WHAT
IT IS.
IT’S PROOF THAT DEMOCRACY DOES
STILL EXIST.
VOTERS CAN DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT
FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEIR
STATES, THEIR TOWNS.
AND THAT COURTS WILL AT LEAST
POTENTIALLY RESPECT THAT RIGHT.
IT’S CALLED SELF GOVERNMENT.
THE LEGISLATURE IN TEXAS HAS
REALIZED THIS FOR MONTHS NOW.
THEY PASSED LAWS BANNING VACCINE
PASSPORTS, HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS,
RACIAL STRUGGLE SESSIONS, BLOCK
PROTESTS THAT PREVENT EMERGENCY
VEHICLES FROM RIDING DOWN THE
ROAD, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
LAWS SPECIFIC TO TEXAS PEOPLE OF
TEXAS WANT AND A LOT OF THOSE
LAWS ARE STILL ON THE BOOKS.
SO THAT’S NOT A BAD THING.
HOW IS THAT A BAD THING?
WHY SHOULD TEXAS HAVE TO BE
EXACTLY LIKE CALIFORNIA.
THE PROBLEM IS, IF THAT KIND OF
THINKING GOES NATIONAL, IT
GRAVELY DISEMPOWERS THE PEOPLE
AT CNN AND THE SO-CALLED CIVIL
RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT THINK
