♪ >> shannon: we are coming to you live from new hampshire, primary voting is actually getting underway right now. with just past midnight eastern, the town of dixville notch, traditional kick things off here in the granite state. you are seeing the ballots actually being dropped in right now as they wait for their first official vote here in new hampshire. this is a longtime tradition. their life, we're going to watch and see what happens here. they will very quickly -- i think they have five votes to count. there's no complicated app or anything else, so we are going to see how this turns out and see the winners. let's bring in molly line to talk about what we are seeing unfold right now. hey, molly. >> shanna, as you mentioned, we're just beginning to see the ballots there drop into that

wooden box. you can see as you mention pretty simple straightforward process underway here. there are five voters in dixville notch, all five of them expected to cast their ballots here in the moment. some of them already have a little bit of musical chairs going on here. a fascinating tradition here in dixville notch saved when one of the residents here moved into the area, becoming the fifth motor here. by doing so though, they still need to fill seven positions, seven jobs essentially on election night, so some of them are doing double duty. tom tillotson among them, both the town moderator and also the ballot clerk, so now he heads behind the curtain to cast his votes to fill out his ballot, comes back out and you will now see yet another ballot enter the box. that box, by the way, made by state prisoners during the era of the former governor, but very simple process here in dixville notch, a process that they are very proud of. it dates back to 1960 neil tillotson, tom tillotson's father began the tradition here

at the resort, which is being revitalized in the process of being revitalized. his ballot has already been cast, standing there. at the table. that's joe casey picking up his ballot. he is the fifth motor heading behind the curtains there, he will come out and when that final valid is ultimately dropped, they will be able to essentially finally close the polls, count of the votes and move forward from there. so that will be in the next in this process as we continue to watch it unfold. that's tom tillotson there taking his step back at the table. his place back at the table. joe casey comes out with his ballot and in it goes. take a moment to listen. >> yes they have. >> okay. i entertain a motion to close the polls. >> seconded. >> the movement seconded. we have 100% participation in the voting. all those in favor say aye. >> i.

>> the polls are closed. we will now begin the count. >> there you have tom tillotson announcing that the polls here are closed in dixville notch, the best-known town to hold this tradition. they've done it for 60 years. we will see him opening the box -- pause for a moment as this gets underway. >> those will begin the count. joe casey is seated here. >> shoveling her papers are in the room as things continue to get underway. in just a couple of moments or we will know the results for dixville notch. not necessarily a bellwether in particular, but this is about, as i said before, passion, participation, a group of voters that care so much about this process, they're willing to show up at the earliest possible moment and in this case, of course, the stroke of midnight, well underway, here are the ballots. there was one registered republican here by the way, and four undeclared. >> they are about to do the count right now. they are actually telling vote.

>> one vote for mike bloomberg. >> there's one vote for mike bloomberg. >> bloomberg. it appears that they may have to write this one up onto the boa board. right now on the board in the first in the nation primary election here in dixville notch come on the democratic side there is biden, buttigieg, sanders, warren, and bennett. so they are writing thus far, one vote for bloomberg. >> the new hampshire primary. [inaudible] don't we tell politics -- one for the event. mike bloomberg. >> no. >> that's right. and with this they also -- in

dixville knox precinct -- >> just heard about for bernie sanders coming in just a moment ago. john casey, reading out. he is the keeper of the checklist. >> michael bennet came here just a couple of days ago, so they do come here, don, and there is a lot of interest or with the candidates coming and putting in their mark. >> pete buttigieg. >> we hearing about for pete buttigieg being announced just a moment ago, also by casey, as we continue with the boat. here we are, the final, the fifth ballot. >> one vote for -- >> have at least one for michael bloomberg, one for pete buttigieg. >> one vote for mike bloomberg. >> and another vote for

michael bloomberg. in a moment, we will see as the final tally is tallied up here on the big board. continuing to fill out the documents here. it's also worth noting that there is an investigator here with the attorney general's office, they said that would be happening across the state, take a listen. >> on the republican side, are you ready for it? the republicans, there was one vote cast and it was a right and for michael bloomberg. >> she was right. >> one vote. >> one vote for michael bloomberg. >> now on the democrats side. there was one vote for buttigi

buttigieg. and one vote for sanders. and two write in votes for michael bloomberg. >> so certainly a big surprise there. >> here in dixville notch, we have bloomberg with one vote on the g.o.p. side and on the democratic side we have one vote for buttigieg, one vote for sanders, and two for bloomberg. so that is the final vote here in dixville notch. a fantastic tradition preserved 11 more resident moved into town and that is our final tally. swept as promised here in dixville notch. shannon. >> shannon: all right, molly they're on the scene, the first votes officially in a new hampshire. thank you so much, molly. let's not bring a fox news contributor jessica tarlov, washingto"washington times" comt to opinion editor charlie hurt and kayleigh mcenany. all right, charlie, we have three bloomberg right in votes. two and the democrat side, one

on the republican side. this group of voters is looking ahead past what they have is options right now. >> who could have seen that coming? but you have to give a nod to the idea of paper ballots in a box, they are not hanging -- there aren't broken apps. it really kind of works, and it kind of reminds me of the smart post. i really would just like to go back to the rotary phone. everything works -- you get into a lot less trouble if you just keep it simple. >> shannon: i think there are people who don't know what a rotary. i do. i remember the machines that you put into -- >> i dream of my old rotary phone. >> shannon: back when life was so simple. what you make of this? there was one republican voter. they didn't choose the sitting president. >> they are out of ste with thet of the voters. 90% and i will voted for president trump, 90% support him. highest own party approval rating of any president in modern history. this is not indicative of what we are seeing nationwide. the president is going to win but i do look to the left and i see just complete disarray.

bernie sanders, buttigieg, now bloomberg. there is the man of the minute it seems, woman of the minute at times. it's just complete the satisfaction with what is a very weak field and as president trump said, we struggle to figure out who is the weakest among them. >> shannon: in "usa today," donna purcell, two democrats. rough week, snap out of it. you have one job, save america from drum. she says democrats right now need a lot more than a pep talk or wake up, we need a cold slap in a loud voice in her face reminding us to pull it together, jessica. >> donna purcell and james cargill, i elects you to stand up on the podium and continues to scream at democrats. it was a terrible week. it was my first iowa caucus. i hope that it was my last time they go first in the nation, devastating. we were onset paddling for an hour and half with with no results there. that count hasn't even been finalized. the president gets acquitted. we have the state of the union, it's like -- hopefully everything will go well here tonight, but it's interesting to see even just with those few

voters, people looking ahead as charlie said here, mike bloomberg, this new quinnipiac bolt that has him surging up to third place and getting a huge chunk of african-americans support, that is the key to winning the democratic nomination and if that is slipping away from joe biden, his past, which is already rocky, it's just about to get a lot rockier. speeone's got to nail it in and south, and i do very well. >> nevada actually. at least second place. >> shannon: there was a pole. this one is -- this one is among new hampshire democrats. which outcome would you prefer november 3rd 2020. trump gets 36%, a meteor strike 64%. how to change their minds? >> well, notably, 64% of democrat voters looked for a meteor strike, 65% would prefer socialism, so this democrat primary voting base is completely out of step with the rest of the nation. we are very confident that routinely we see 25% of those who show up at her umbrellas are democrats. we are winning over new territory, buildings coalition and we are very confident that we are going to make this map

even redder in 2020 than it was in 2016. >> shannon: meantime, senator bernie sanders to a lot of folks are seeing is a favorite and after, he talked about the fact he's going to be tied to socialist. he says i know president trump is going to do it, they're already doing it, but he says this about where we are as a society. >> in many respects -- in many respects we are a socialist society today. the difference between my socialism and trump socialism is i believe the government should help working families, not billionaires. >> shannon: used a similar interest, but now that he is one he sang billionaires. he says listen, there are parts of our study already functioning this way. >> this is of course why bernie sanders can be appealing to people that you might not expect. he does say things out of the blue that kind of surprise you, but the problem there is that's basically -- that's not an attack on trying. that's an attack on establishment republicans. and it is true. washington does -- there's a lot of corporate welfare in washington and i find it

disgusting. but, you know, that's been brought to you by the establishment republican party that donald trump has gone in to -- you know, before he went after democrats he went up the republicans he went after republicans on issues like that. so i like that bernie sanders is saying that, but i don't think is going to make much difference. >> shannon: with her to go because we have one of the voters from dixville notch going to join us now live. thank you very much. sir, if you're there, tell us about this experience. we love watching it. it's such an amazing tradition. how did it feel to cast the very first vote? >> it's an honor an and a privie to be part of a republic that allows a democracy to be enacted by five individuals, 100% vote. i marvel at the opportunity to watch my fellow countrymen and citizens participate. the thought of 100% voting sort of is the epitome of what a

democracy should be all about and i think that's what's happened here in dixville, and mills filled, all those towns, 100% of the residents are voting, so we have the opportunity to speak our minds and we can complain sometime in the future if we don't like the outcome, because we all took part in it. >> shannon: we love that and i hope that you'll inspire the rest of the country to get out there and do that. we're just about out of time but i want to ask you, we were a little surprised on our panel tonight, three of those boats were a right and for a man is not even on the ballot here. i don't know if you're one of those, we're not going to ask but is not surprising that people are looking ahead to a different option? >> no, i think the most important thing to take away is that the people that voted for mr. bloomberg, mayor bloomberg, essentially were saying that climate change in the budget deficit are two of the most important things that we can take care of the future

generations. and when i talked to the kids in my family before i came out to vote, the two things that were top of mind for them for climate change and the deficit. >> shannon: there you go. >> i think it's our responsibility to fix listings. >> shannon: thank you for letting us share that special moment with you, great to have it, thanks to you much. new hampshire is underway, so was tucker carlson. the rest of his show continues right after this. thanks for joining us for extended coverage.

you said you weren't, but now you got to be honest. i'm going to be honest with you. >> tucker: there he is, breathing heavily into the microphone. the men, the geniuses in washington picked to protect the democratic party it from the great socialist threat, babbling about john wayne movies that don't even exist. after him, they're putting all their hopes into two tiny mayors propped up by immense piles of cash. it's hilarious. if nothing else. running us to make sense of it is our friend author and columnist mark steyn. mark, what is happening? >> well, actually just first of all, i don't think it is a john wayne movie. i think he's referring to a movie called pony soldier, in which tyrone power played a mountie up in canada. >> tucker: 1952, that's exactly right. >> 1952, so i don't know whether he just got confused here. we call on the democrats, with up to them to speak truth to power. joe biden was speaking truth to tyrone power. almost 70 years after he made

the movie, but better late than never. this is only a surprise -- everyone knows -- i think i said it on your show that joe biden was at his strongest the day he announced and it's all been downhill. and it's sad to see that rather pitiful group of my fellow granite stators singing joe biden's back. i've got no problems with that. the problem is joe biden's friend. when you look at him, when you look at his face, his mouth, it's clear that his heart isn't in this. and that was obvious from you can't have legacy candidates. they tried that four years ago. and now they're stuck in the worst of all worlds. they need someone -- there we go. joe biden is back. you know, if you want a good back song, my boyfriend's back by the angels. number 37 in 1961. that's the one. forget joe biden is back.

now i'm all distracted. i don't want to think about joe biden's back. they got the same problem that the republicans had four years ago. who can take out bernie and none of these guys can take out bernie and my only disagreement with what you said was when you mentioned amy klobuchar, and we'll dismiss her as the sensible shoes candidate and all the rest of it, but on that stage, when they were asked which of them would have a problem with a socialist candidate -- in other words, they're actually being asked, which of you guys is ready to take out bernie, the only one who said she did have a problem with the socialist candidate was in fact amy klobuchar. and i generally take the view that who dares wins here and she was the only one on that stage to actually show any courage. >> tucker: isn't it chilling though that the reflexes -- that's a very smart point. their reflex though is to go right to the billionaire. they've got a problem, the

billionaire is going to save them from a problem. what does that tell you about them? >> well, i think they are different from the republicans. republicans wanted to get rid of trump and couldn't find a way to do so honestly. right now on the democrat side, we are having cereal malodorous nest. starting from the iowa poll that was released on the iowa caucus, now whoever wins, as the joke has it, whoever hampshire, that will give them a lot of momentum going into the iowa caucus results, which might well be re-caucused. it now they are trying to bring back superdelegates by putting the billing on the stage. all of these are sticks of dynamite that the yosemite sames of the democrats in the media keep shoving down their pants. and each one of them so far, starting with impeachment, has actually blown up in their

faces, and they still keep shoveling the dynamite down their pants. >> tucker: and it just couldn't happen to better people. it's really horrible to watch. it's made my day every day. great to see you, thank you. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: the coauthor of the fantastic new book which is selling really well, the populist guide to 2020. we are happy to have her on tonight, crystal, thanks so much for coming out. you've been in the media a long time. explain, if you would, how exactly media universe convinced itself joe biden was going to be the nominee. >> it is a remarkable thing. it's basically because they cannot wrap their heads around the fact that they have been wrong about every single thing for the past i don't know how many years. >> tucker: that's right. >> so once again i thought look, this is the type of candidate that most win. they have the right neoliberal policies. that got the right resume. he was vice president of barack obama, and so he must be the guy. and meanwhile, they said the same things that they set about the rise of donald trump. ignore the fact that he has no

enthusiasm, right? ignore the fact that he has no crowds. pay no attention to that. just look at the fact of his poll numbers and he's resilient and is more resilient than you think and what's happening online isn't what's happening out there in america. and when it comes down to it, when it came time for people to vote, that enthusiasm, that energy surprise, surprise, wasn't there for him. >> tucker: that's such a terrible way to make decisions. if my kids are making decisions that we had be concerned. these are reputedly the smartest people in america. they are literally on television because the smart and they all went to yale law school. >> is that why they are television? [laughs] >> tucker: apparently. former federal prosecutors and cia analyst all the rest of them. they are all totally clueless. >> they have the same people who, you know, cheerlead us into war in iraq and have never apologized for that. the same people that didn't see the financial collapse coming, the same people that never saw donald trump coming. the same people who never saw bernie sanders coming. i mean to this day, if you look at the polls objectively, bernie sanders is the front runner to win the democratic

nomination. and they still have not wrap their heads around it, or the fact that he has a genuine enthusiasm and movement behind him, which surprise, surprise, of working less people, that could actually be a good matchup against president trump. >> tucker: it just feels like the end of something. it really does. like a whirling class that can't even act in its own interest. they can't see reality clearly. there really are the romanovs as a certain point. >> it's and their financial interest do not see reality clearly, right? because these are people whose power comes from their access to the establishment world. consultants whose graft is based on a certain deal flow from the dnc, et cetera. and they know -- what you said about they prefer trump to bernie, the democratic establishment, i think that's exactly right because they know under sanders administration, all of that access, all of that deal flow, all of that is gone and it truly is over for them, so they would rather have bernie lose and have another crack at it after donald trump then allow them to win and that's where we are. the problem for them is that

while hillary clinton all the rest say nobody likes bernie sanders, the truth is, just like donald trump back in 2016, the base really likes bernie sanders. he has the highest favorability ratings among democrats, he is the most popular senator in the entire country, so the level of support for doing the anything but bernie movement is razor-thin. it's razor-thin. >> tucker: man, the truest facts and politics is you can't hold power if you ignore the source of it. in this case voters. if you have no idea what your voters thing, you're going to get turned down. >> and worse yet, they smear his voters, right? on msnbc tonight they compared him to the brownshirts. i'm not getting, on the supposedly liberal network they called bernie sanders supporters brownshirts. it's very familiar, isn't it? 's going so nice to have you. >> thank you, great to see a very >> tucker: michael bloomberg says california ought to be a model for the nation. how do people who live in california feel about that? adam corolla has been there

since day one. he's got a few warnings for you. we will be right back. ♪

>> tucker: we did a series on the show last month about

san francisco called "american dystopia." the name tells you everything. we've heard from a lot of people who live in california. they confirmed it was real. if you visit california, certain places anyway, you'll know that it was true. it's obvious that the state is in deep trouble and then part is falling apart. the only exception of the democrats running for president. they think it's great. in fact, a model. michael bloomberg has called california "a great example for the rest of this country." but of course he would say that, it's turning into a feudal society were a handful of tech billionaires roll millions of poor immigrant serfs. for michael bloomberg, that's paradise. it was not to like? or anyone know who isn't that oligarch of the collapse of the state, driving the middle-class to to idaho, nevada, is not very inspiring. we usually talk to comedian and podcast host adam corolla but the crisis in the state he grew up in, here's what he said. >> tucker: adam corolla, thank you. you've been in l.a. all week driving around probably the prettiest city in america, but the blight of homelessness is

impossible and it's getting worse, why is that? >> breakdown of the rule of law. no one wants to enforce laws around here. what i figured out from living here my entire life, i mean, i was bored sort of 3 miles that way, now would live 3 miles that way. california and l.a. especially sort of broke and the citizens two groups. there's the groups that have money and then there are the empty bags. they don't have any money. so, if you have money, and you're in that group, and you pay your taxes, you'll get pulled over and get a ticket for not having a front license plate. everybody i know in l.a. has been pulled over for not having a front license plate. but, if you're homeless or your illegal, or you're not in the system, then you're essentially an empty bag and they can't get money out of you. in fact, the cost the city

money, so anything that costs the city money, they're not that good at. but the really good at parking enforcement and the really good at permits and building permits and finds and anything where there's money to be had, they are superefficient added and homeless don't have checking accounts, so there's nothing in it for them. >> tucker: so they just don't care? >> well, they would care if they owed them money and they had money and they could get money from them. they care greatly about people who have checkbooks, but they really divided the entire city into those who pay and those who can't, and if you can't, they're not that interested. >> tucker: you're describing the way a predator looks at dinner. you're not worth eating, you are. that's not the way government should look at citizens. >> if you go 3 miles from here, there's four -- there's a big mortuary. on one side of the street, there are whole bunch of people who are here illegally selling

flowers with no permits and no licenses and no business and know anything, just selling them on the street to people who are going up to visit dad nana. on the other side of the street, there is a cop with a radar gun waiting for soccer moms who are going 42 miles an hour in a 35, to write them up. the cop is not interested in what's going on on the other side of the street, which is illegal behavior, because they don't have any money. and they don't have any documentation, and they're not going to cut the court a check. on this side of the street, the soccer mom has a checking account and they're going to ring her up. >> tucker: it's funny you mention that because i just read the state of california is planning to charge for people half-price o price on speeding tickets. >> tucker: to >> that's the way they are attempting to get money out of people who don't have money, but it really is -- if your ultrarich in california, then you don't care. it for barbra streisand, what do

you care about a speeding ticket or no front license plate or whatever it is? and if you're ultra-poor, your untouchable because you can't get blood out of a turnip, you know? there's nothing there. you can't pay them. it's the middle who gets the crap kicked out of them here in los angeles. you take this building we are sitting in. i was looking at some -- looking at renting it out. i talked to some commercial real estate guy about what if we went it out for office space, how could i get paid? this, that, and the other. i spoke to the guy this morning and i wrote it down because i didn't want to screw it up. if i want to rent out this building to a potential client and make money, i need to get a parking exemption application, parking study demand. it's $9200. i have to pay somebody almost $10,000 just to do a parking

survey so i can turn it into the city so they can decide whether i can rent my building out to another renter. that's what it costs for me. so, we have a million rules for those who play by the rules, and we have no rules for those who have no money and don't play by the rules. >> tucker: what's so striking though is because of the system are describing, a lot of people are like dying of o.d.es on the sidewalk. contrast that to the way the ruling class felt a hundred years ago, new york flooded with immigrants from eastern europe and rich people said we are going to uplift those immigrants, we are going to spend a lot of money and time to greet charities to help them. items of the people in los angeles and the nice neighborhoods spending a ton of time trying to solve the homelessness problem. why is that? >> well, sadly, if you replace the homeless human beings with homeless dogs, everybody would. that's the wiring of people who

live in los angeles. i mean it. every woman i know, if there were dogs just out in the streets, bleeping and cardboard boxes, they would be on the streets all day every day helping those dogs. the reality is, i don't think -- first off, everyone in los angeles is just trapped in her car so you're essentially just trapped in a terrarium and you're looking out into a giant terrarium. it's like when you go to the zoo and you just see the reptile exhibit. you're just sort of going "wow, look at that tree snake, what's going on." let's get a trial, and you just leave, like your literally in this glass box known as a lexus and you drive fast this crazy tableau of just people flopped on the street and cardboard boxes and filled and tends and addiction and horrible -- the end of humanity kind of stuff, what you're doing it like you're at a disney ride, like on some sort of tram. in some sort of dystopia world

or something where you are like boy, i feel bad for that guy or i'm glad i'm not him. but you're doing it -- i think if you're in new york, you're taking public transportation, you're on the street, you're on the subway, like you are amongst people. i think there's more of a call to action. this guy is next to me on the subway or this guy is walking down the street with me. l.a., everyone is married to their car and i think that's a lot of it. but it wasn't always this way. >> tucker: you grow up and i think north hollywood. always kind of working class, kind of gritty, but it wasn't like this. if you always said bel air was always rich. but you didn't have this public display of misery that you have now. what changed? >> well, what changed is we started to mistake discipline and rule of law for being mean. at this sort of like "don't be mean, don't take the homeless guy, why are you making him go

here, or why are you arresting him, or why are you incarcerating him, or why are you putting him in this facility." l.a. has become this sort of good vibes place where mayor mayor garcetti and the governor of los angeles -- governor of california, gavin newsom, nobody -- everyone is scared of being called a bad person. and we used to realize that coaches and teachers and generals and the police force and the people -- the mayor and the governor, when they enforced laws, they weren't bad people. they enforced laws. if they are doing what they were elected to do. they're doing their job. now, when official says i want to get rid of this homeless camp, we are going to bulldoze the homeless camp, why are you being the main person? why are you being a bad person? this is a zeitgeist that is washing over this nation. the people -- that the teacher that's expelling the student for

being unruly has now become the bad person. not the student, the teacher. we are turning on the rule of law. we are turning on the teachers, the coaches, the governors, the mayors, the cops. think what we've gone with cops. you turn cops into the bad guy. not the bad guys who were the bad guys, and the reason the cops are engaged with the bad guys, because they are involved with some bad behavior. we turns the guy with the uniform and the badge into the bad guy and nobody wants to be the bad guy, so everyone wants to be the tolerant, loving, you know, yoga pants-wearing kumbaya guy and that's what we've created here in los angeles. no one wants to be the heavy. i was talking to a guy who runs the staples center. it literally runs the staples center. the rejuvenated downtown, really. it was falling apart. staples center came in, it

really just brought it back to life. they bring millions of dollars in tax revenue. i said to the guy, i went to a game there with my son, a lakers game. i walked out, i almost tripped over a guy selling hot dogs on your property from a shopping cart with a propane tank on it. there was dozens of these guys just all on the staples center property. they're selling food, they're not licensed, they're not regulated. they're not getting a grade from the system. there are just selling food totally unregulated on your property and he said yeah, i know, we hate it. we hate it. i wish there was something we could do about it. i said what you mean somebody to do about it -- go talk to the city council. get off my property. go talk to the mayor, get off my property. throw them off your property, call the cops. and he said "i don't want to get into trouble." he doesn't want -- he doesn't want to run afoul of the

los angeles city officials. he doesn't want to get in trouble for this illegal behavior that is potentially dangerous. this food is not regulated -- >> tucker: so people get salmonella. >> right. and also, this guy, who's the man, who runs the staples cent staples center, doesn't want to become a bad guy for taking the poor people who are selling food on his property, and he literally said if i go to the city council with this, they'll get angry and i'll get into trouble. >> tucker: unbelievable. >> that's where we are at. >> tucker: adam corolla, thank you. adam corolla, one of the smartest people i know. the death toll from coronavirus has just passed a thousand worldwide. but even now we are still trying to figure out what it is and where it came from. a top medical expert will join us to explain the latest findings on the research. interesting, up next. ♪

right. you can imagine. and there's more. the fda has evacuated its personnel who monitor china's production methods to ensure safety. now they are not on the scene and those drugs are being made. may not simply be a good medical climate, it may become an economic disaster for the world. wuhan may have been obscure to westerners until last month but it's a city of 11 million people and now it's under quarantine. russia has just closed its entire 2600-mile land border with china. australia, india, japan, hong kong, saudi arabia, singapore and vietnam have all imposed strict travel restrictions on chinese nationals. experts are telling the public to stay calm for now. the flu will kill far more people this year they say. but the only organization with full knowledge of what exactly is happening with coronavirus is the chinese government, and has video is trickling out of china right now show, they are anything but calm. chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher has the very latest on this. hey, teresa. >> the coronavirus is primarily

transmitted the respiratory droplets, meaning he was and mucus. china hopes that by quarantining 56 million people and asking others to wear masks it will slow the spread. and now we have video of spray trucks apparently filled with low concentrations of bleach being used to spray down the entire chinese cities like wuhan, shanghai and beijing. u.s. experts say it appears to be a show of action, but in reality will have very little effect. instead, they recommend disinfecting specific places like emergency rooms and communal places. and a u.s. company is now sending china a hydrogen peroxide based product developed to neutralize biological and chemical agents. meantime, there is disturbing new video coming out of china showing at least two women being dragged out of an apartment building by what appeared to be police officers wearing masks. the women are trying to resist, but are clearly overmatched and overpowered. and as the women are put in the bus, you can hear the heart

wrenching sound of children screaming. babies crying. and a man trying to defend the women was also being pushed back. we have not independently verified video, but in coincides with numerous reports, saying china is rounding up the infected in wuhan and taking them to internment camps. china puts the death toll officially now at 1,016 by their count. with over 42,000 infected. tucker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks so much. by the way, there are a lot of videos like that on the internet, it might be worth 20 minutes tomorrow to take a look at them. if you want to know what the government, our ruling class, sucks up to and has gotten rich from, is actually like, watch the videos, very telling. after 40,000 cases at least, still know surprisingly little about coronavirus. in fact, researchers are now just starting to figure out how it may have been transmitted from bats to people. dr. jeanette's medical director

at citi md, we are happy to have her on to me. thanks so much for coming on. so what we know about where this virus -- there's a lot of speculation, as you well know, about where this virus came from. what do we know for sure now? >> sure, it's a challenge understanding the spectrum of this virus because there are so many unknowns. so many questions still unanswered and we're still learning a lot about this virus. for example, can you spread it if you are asymptomatic? we just saw there was a newborn baby 30 hours old and got it from his mom, so we know it can be spread asymptomatic, we know it can be spread from maternal to feel transmission. coughing to sneezing, human to human but now we believe there might be a new animal involved called a pangolin. we understood that they probably -- the virus probably is from bats, but we also feel that bats contaminated this new creature, kind of looks like armadillo. it's called a pangolin and is actually considered an endangered species. chinese people use their scales to treat -- for medicinal

purposes. end of their meat also used. it's been used for many, many years. they are an endangered species, but when i believe they may be an intermediary in transmitting the virus to humans. >> tucker: you. if you eat animals like that, it's not surprising that things happen. but i'm just throwing is that you called on i'm certainly not endorsing this, but there has been a lot of speculation, not all of it -- i don't know. you assess it. this is not a naturally occurring virus, that it was somehow created by the chinese government. is there any evidence of that at all, what you think of that? >> i think it's a virus has existed. there have been studies and this as actually existed for many, many years, it's just that the virus has mutated. it's changed, the dna has changed, but there's still a lot of unknown answers. the more information that we have, the more we are better to able -- the more we are able to better understand the virus. how it replicates, what's its gene sequence, and that can help us to discover medicines and treatments and vaccines. that's why there was a little bit of hesitation from china to let us in, let us help.

what are you hiding? let us be there to help discover new treatments, new medications. we are sending medicine from the u.s. to china, hiv medicines, medicines used to treat sars and ebola, to see if these medications can help tackle the virus in china. but we don't know for sure where this virus originated. we suspect from bats, the gene sequencing about similarly resonates -- looks like it does the virus that's been transmitted to humans, but still a lot of information that we need to uncover, we need more research for sure. >> tucker: we do. thanks so much for that update, we appreciate it. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> tucker: president trump just told us first rally after being acquitted on impeachment charges, we will look at the highlights next. ♪
