>> martha: was about to leave it there. i think you so much. thanks for talking th to us to tonight. ♪ speeone good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." people aren't working. schools are closed. planes are empty. millions of americans aren't even leaving the house. this is what it looks like to fight the spread of the pandemic. everything stops. how long will we have to live this way? how long can we? those are questions every adult in this country is thinking about her and appeared all of us are desperate to keep the ones we love from being infected and possibly dying. at the same time, we know there is a very high cost to showing on america. no one wants to wake up years from now in a bankrupt nation struggling from depression. unfortunately, they often conflict with each other. it's one of the reasons this

whole experience has been so awful and so very anxiety-producing. but there may be a solution to it. the solution of science. it we can cure this disease or treated, lives will be saved and so will our economy. the chances are that we can do this. this is the country that invented the airplane, the polio vaccine, and many other things. more than any other place in the world, america made the modern world modern. just 25 years ago, people lived in terror of hiv. today, the disease is manageable. fear receded. according to the fda commissioner, stephen hahn, a fully working vaccine could be ready within a year. because the president mentioned that there is a vaccine trial currently being performed. it's a phase one trial. it's the earliest study that gets done. we expect that to take 12 months before the time where we could

actually approve a vaccine. these are all things to bridge to the prevention part of this vaccine. it's exciting work and the president is right. this is record time for the development of a vaccine. >> tucker: so, that's great news for stopping another outbreak. for the epidemic in progress, a year is too long. remdesivir, a drug first combating ebola is already in trials right now. the most promising drug of all could be cholroquine. it's a cheap antimalaria drug that has been around for decad decades. we told you about it last night. >> hydroxychloroquine has been on the market for over 50 years with a safety profile. i'm here to report that as of this morning, about 5:00 this morning, oh, well,-controlled peer-reviewed study, out of the

south of france in which he enrolled 40 patients. again, oh well-controlled peer-reviewed study that hat a 100% cure rate against the coronavirus. >> tucker: we were skeptical of that, because we are skeptical of everything. it's our job to be. it is only being used to treat the coronavirus. today, the president explained the drug's potential and promised to make it widely available very soon. >> tucker: hydroxychloroquine. this is a common malaria drug. it's been around for a long time and it's very powerful. it has shown very encouraging, very, very encouraging early results. we are going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately. >> tucker: amazing. how optimistic should we be about this? why would a drug created to

treat malaria be so effective? ceo of pharmaceutical spirit he joins us tonight. doctor, thanks so much for coming on tonight. even for people who are paying attention, a little bit out of the blue, most people haven't heard of this drug. tell us what it is and why it might need coronavirus. >> thank you very much. happy to be on. the president is right. we need to pay attention to cholroquine and the work that's being done around the world and the guidelines for the treatme treatment. as you said, cholroquine was discovered in 1934 in germany. it was used to treat successfully malaria for all this time. what we know about this drug is substantial evidence over the last ten years that it can

indeed -- the sars virus, the respiratory syndrome virus, and now, covid-19. most recently, works have started in china in publications with clinical trials in patients. the way it works, the coronavirus is a virus. it's not the parasite that causes malaria. the way this drug works, it appears that it interferes first with the entry of the virus into the human cell and then interrupts dominic interferes w. you can see why there can be a lot of excitement, that it can be an effective therapeutic and

it could be a prophylactic agent as well. >> tucker: so, this drug has been described as inexpensive and common. is it being used in every american hospital to treat blue patients? >> absolutely, it is not. the big gap is that unlike china, japan, south korea, poland, belgium, italy, we do not have guidelines. bringing this to the forefront of the united states. what we see is that it is not enough. what doctors are fighting for patients lives, what they need is guidelines.

with too much, >> tucker: i know someone personally who is receiving it in a hospital in new york. why would it be hard to take the guidelines currently in use in poland and spain and apply those here? >> yet. absolutely we can. it just takes leadership, because at the same time, the individual doctors, the individual hospitals are not free to make their own decisions. of course, there is significant liability if they do something outside of what is allowed by the fda. so, these are steps that can cure, is what poland did. we hear the fda that they want

more data. once everybody understands that we don't know if this is going to be the ultimate cure. one we have people in the hospitals of all ages dying of catastrophic pneumonia. we do not have any other option. cholroquine looks pretty good. especially because the safety profile is mild. especially for the short-term years, it should be fine. >> tucker: europe has fewer lawyers than we do. that might be the real answer. doctor, thanks so much for coming on, for explaining that. it's amazing and amazingly promising, it sounds like. thank you. >> absolutely. thanks, tucker. >> tucker: quick updates on where we are with the coronavirus in this country and around the world.

cases have surged past 10,000 tonight. our death toll is over 200. for now, we remain far more fortunate than europe. italy suffered another 427 deaths just today. spain had close to 200. france is up 100 as well. remember, all those countries are much smaller than ours. the rising death tolls are frightening, but the virus can be beaten. in some cases could dominic, that appears to be happening. today, china announced just 34 new patients and eight more deaths. it could be lying, needless to say. but south korea probably isn't lying. from a peak of about 800 new cases a day, they are down to about 150. that is good news. if those countries can do it, of course, we can as well. we will keep you updated on this battle as long as we have to. we have learned a lot in the past couple of weeks. one thing we have learned is that america is dangerously depended on chinese manufacturing. we have also learned about trine's sinister intentions

toward the united states. the chinese government lied to spread the cover up. they blamed it on the united states. they said we are created it. chinese leadership then threatened to kill large numbers of americans by withholding life-saving medical dominic madisobirds incongress respondif this? at this very lindsay this is actually happening right now. something called an ev five permanent resident visa is available to foreign nationals to start businesses here. the current threshold for this is $900,000 peered at the moment, most of these visas go to chinese nationals or to real estate project in our cities.

one of the reasons housing costs are so high. little more than dominic money-laundering scheme. the program is so rotten that last year, democrats and republicans actually came together to reform it, to make it more restrictive. democrats, making it harder for foreigners to get citizenship. they did, because the program is that corrupt. senator graham loves it. he is trying to use the current national crisis to rollback reforms to the ev five visa program. he would like to increase the number of visas to $75,000 a year. that's a jump up of more than seven times the number. he would like to lower the investment number. how could anyone before that and why is he for this? why is he pushing it at the very moment? presumably he is getting paid by donors to do it. we don't know.

that's usually how it works in washington. it only works if no one notices it's happening. let's hope a lot of people notice now. selling american citizenship to chinese oligarchs is not the way to preserve the economy and reflect dell might protect most vulnerable. people are considering many options including cash handouts to many americans and bailouts to american companies. if we go forward and we bail these companies out, should we have strings attached to the tax dollars they are receiving? chief washington correspondent at the hill. he is author of the populace guide to 2020." thanks for coming on. there will be a plan and i think most people would agree there ought to be some strings attached to this money. what should they be? >> we need to have strings attached to this money, tucker, because we need to highlight the crisis that we have right now.

we do not currently live in a country or remanufacture critical medical supplies at a time of national security crisis. while we are dependent on china for 90% of our pharmaceuticals, dominic. that means that we are going to give hundreds of billions of dollars to u.s. corporations. they have to tell us that they are going to -- if they are going to take the public's money, they need to act in the public interest. what we have learned now is that in this situation, that the corporate interest is not necessarily the american interest, especially whenever it comes to critical supply chains for pharmaceuticals. forpharmaceuticals represent wih the broader american economy is, which is a country that is incapable of providing for

itself in a time of national crisis. >> tucker: i couldn't agree with you more. automobiles or jet engines. i mean, imagine a company, country, where you can it make vehicles. my understanding is a lot of those products are dependent upon chinese parts. >> that's exactly right, too tu. so much of our international supply chain is bogged down in china. they are threatening to kill american citizens at a time of need by withholding pharmaceuticals. in the time of conflict or a time of war, time of escalating tension, do you allow the most critical industry for manufacturing arms and for keeping your populace, a thriving populace, to be based in the territory of your enemy customer gets absolutely absurd. >> tucker: yes. do you think this plan, this package, will address the

concern that you just outlined? >> as of right now, there are no strings attached to some of this money. look, senator, josh, who has said that anybody who needs any multinational corporation that wants to come and ask for the public's dime has got to come with an x donation off the of hy are going to use it. they need to act in the public's interest. >> tucker: it's hard to see a counter argument. thank you so much. big thanks, tucker. >> tucker: pharmaceutical drugs are the single most promising way to beat the coronavirus. how much control do they have? we will investigate that just ahead. plus, th the most common myths. we will tell you if they are true or not. be right back. ♪

much of the information came from spain and the spanish king was off to -- german measles also did not originate in germany come but it was a german scientist. on the other hand, west nile virus did originate in africa in the 1930s. middle eastern respiratory syndrome is also a coronavirus that was first identified in saudi arabia in 2012. although we keep hearing that coronavirus' are made unstable by heat, saudi arabia's extremely hot climate did little to slow the spread. finally, japanese and esophagitis there is a vaccine, but no cure. >> tucker: trace gallagher,

thank you for the perspective on that. all over television, you are watching people downplay china's role in spreading the coronavirus. downplaying it. on cnn, that's not enough. they always go the extra step over there. some cnn contributors have practically become emissaries for beijing. watch this. >> it was china that came to the rescue, sending medical personnel among nine pallets of ventilators, electrocardiograph, and tens of thousands of masks, all desperately needed by a health care system in crisis and appreciated by italians singing china's praises. europe had fewer options. a gradual worsening of the transatlantic alliance. most recently, over trump's failure to consult europe over the coronavirus travel ban. china, now stepping into the

global leadership rule, long abandoned by the american president. >> tucker: it's almost unbelievable that they ran that on the air. slacking for the communist chinese government. by the way, if they ever take over, jeff will be there. we are always happy to have him on. great to see you, senator. so, you've been one of the relatively few people in the congress who has been sounding on china for a long time. the coronavirus, i think has highlighted the reasons for why that is an important story. where should we go next? >> welcome i think one of the things that coronavirus has done is that our globalized economy is an economy that really works for china, first and foremost, and not for the united states, certainly not for american workers. our supply chains, are medical devices, where are they question him or china. our pharmaceuticals. where are they made? china. our big tech companies.

who do they want to do business with? china. i think it's time that we ask ourselves what kind of an economy have we allowed to be created and what is it doing for american workers? we need some structural reform. >> tucker: i think that's exactly right. in the short term, though, the country is paralyzed by the coronavirus. what do we know about the chinese government cover up of this virus in its early days? >> well, we know that they suppressed the actual news and we know that they ordered the whistle-blower doctors to keep silent. of course, one of those doctors lost his life because of that. we know that they delayed global response of this virus by weeks, weeks that represent thousands of lost lives. there are studies out there that show that if we had had more time to deal with this, lives, many, many lives could have been saved. listen, the chinese communist party has systematically lied to its own people who paid the price. they lied to the world.

now we are all paying the price. we ought to have an international investigation about where this originated. we know where it was. it was china. china ought to be held to account and they ought to be made fo to pay for what the word is suffering. >> tucker: sort of off topic, but i have to ask you. are you heartened by the economic support plan taking place in washington right now? you think it's good or bad? >> no, i am heartened by the president's aggressive response here. i am heartened by his desire to go big. i am heartened by his idea to give direct relief to families, families need relief. it's important that low income families not be left out and not be punished. any kind of relief shown to be regressive, tucker. families, working families, need relief and they ought to get it. >> tucker: mn. thanks for coming on tonight. from the beginning of all of

this, we are trying to bring attention to the stranglehold on global medicine production that china has. that country doesn't just make many of the world's drugs, but they often make the relevant ingredients. just how profound is china's dominance? gipson is a senior advisor and author of the book, "china rx." he joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. we've been focused a lot on antibiotics. china makes 97% of the one that we use. just how dependent are we for medicine on china? >> tucker, china makes thousands of the ingredients for our generic drugs. even the medicines to care for people who are hospitalized with a coronavirus, 90% of those ingredients come from china. we are talking about basic

medicines to take care of people who have infections, who have to be on ventilators. and by the way, tucker, the story about ventilators. here's what we have a shortage of ventilators in the united states. china stopped shipping circuit boards to make them. so, we have to bring our production back home of medicines and all of our medical supplies. i was at a hospital a couple weeks ago, talking about antibiotics, and they said there are some antibiotics that you just can't get. others are rationing. we are rationing antibiotics in the united states of america because we have lost our industrial base. we have lost our industrial base because china cheated. american companies have to compete with the chinese government, not chinese companies. those companies are subsidized by their government. how can american companies win against that? >> tucker: it all happened so fast. it seems like just the other day, most pharmaceuticals were made in new jersey. >> well, this has been a

landslide, tucker. it began right after we opened up free trade with china. i document this in "china rx." it's actually fascinating. once we opened up free trade, that's when we lost our last aspirin plant. we can't make aspirin in the united states. that's when we lost our last penicillin plant, which closed in 2004. at the same time, we have lost our ability to make vitamin c. these are bi basic things we ne. we have to bring that back to this country. >> tucker: you just put a fine point on it. rosemary, thank you for that. i appreciate you coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: welcome anyone can get the coronavirus, obviously, you know that. anyone can be harmed by it. it is the virus more dangerous to the young than we thought it was? i doctor from the front lines, treating this disease in massachusetts joins us next.

harvard medical school. we are happy to have him on tonight. thanks for coming on. so you are concerned, and i think this is right, you are concerned that people believe that this virus is not a threat to the young. is that correct? >> well, i mean come i think the concern is, it is true that the majority of people between the ages of 20 and 60 who don't have any previous health conditions will just have mild disease. that's a true statement. the issue is, looking at the minorities. this is looking at the world. looking at italy, looking at china. this is not a boston issue. this is just looking at the disease process. a number of them have

substantial critical illness and could potentially be on mechanical ventilation or life support. so, the key to understanding is that even if you are 20-60, you still can have critical illness. now, the reason it's important to note, i don't raise this to cause panic. we don't want undue concern and that type of area. but it's important to know that folks need to be able to take the appropriate action and to file all the instructions with the social distancing and all those types of things. it's important information for people to know so that they can act on it but not again create unnecessary panic per se. >> tucker: so, we've seen a couple of cases where people in the prime of life, say 40-60, people with no underlying health conditions have ended up on

is a musical >> tucker: the long-term effects are hard to know exactly. restaurants and hotels have a long road back. that's clear. but what about higher education? the nation's entire college population is at home right now at exactly the same moment the economy seems to be heading south. what effect will that have? well, the first thing to know is that whatever happens next, it will not affect harvard, yale, stanford, and a lot of places like those. these places are richer than some countries. they will be fine whatever happens. the state schools are likely to whether th it too. for other campuses, this is a

life-changing moment. first, endowments are likely to shrink as the broader economy struggles. donations will drop too for the same reason. there will most certainly be a reduction from students from china, their ability to pay full tuition. an entire nation has just been shown that it's possible to deliver higher education in the entire lead different way. you don't have to drive to campus in order to get an education. you can do the whole thing online. this won't change everyone's behavior. families will continue on as they always have. 250 grand to send your kids off to their friends have fun for years. two people who can afford it, that's not such a bad deal. cheaper than four years of touring europe, which is what our ruling class used to do. let's say you are not rich. maybe you make $120,000 a year. that's high enough to disqualify you. it's low enough that paying 30,

40, $50,000 a year hurts a lot. if you are paying full tuition, that means you could be seen hundreds of thousand dollars in debt to send a single child to college. every child. imagine you've got three kids. some of you watching don't need to imagine that, because that's you. suddenly, an online education doesn't sound so crazy. your kids won't like it as much. hanging around a fraternity is a lot more fun than staring at a computer screen. is that it on-site customer you might start thinking about that. you also might begin to wonder what a college degree is worth these days. a communications degree from a mid tier liberal arts school? totally and utterly worthless. it signifies such obvious mediocrity. colleges know all this of course.

they are self-aware enough to realize it. that is why washington is swarming with lobbyists, so that congress will keep funding it as long as possible. the impossible may have just arrived. the charade has been exposed. stanford just kicked students off campus and starting classes online. here's the amazing part. stanford along with harvard and other schools like them has already announced that they will not get a single sent discounted from their tuition. even more insulting and baffling, really, stanford students aren't even getting fully refunded rent for the dorm rooms they were kicked out of. keep in mind that stanford has a $27 billion endowment. they could afford to do this for their kids. they just don't want to. they are pampered and arrogant and indifferent to the suffering of others. as noted, stanford, harvard, yale all have enough cash to get away with things like this. but other schools don't. unless they change radically, a

lot of these places are going to go under. there is not enough federal bailout money in the treasury. they will be gone for good, close, repurposed, we can hope, into much-needed efficiency apartments with loads of green space. they will wail and moan at how outraged editorials for new york times about the end of knowledge and the coming dark age. yet, ignore them. these people never deserved jobs in the first place. the higher education establishment is hurting this country and it has for a long time. reform is essential. this is a good and needed thing. in fact, it's one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dark moment. well, if you put all the other concerns aside, the coronavirus epidemic is a profound shared experience for the country. everybody is being affected in a big way. some people are on the brink of

he said, for the first time ever, they had been married for 33 years. my wife said, let's do a puzzle together." with that ever happen question was the one that's amazing. when do you think we are going to learn now that we are forced to take a pause, get off the treadmill, experience a little silence? >> i think we are going to learn something about ourselves. hopefully, we are going to learn that it's not all about the bottom line. hopefully we are going to learn that family is more important than your savings account. they are both important, but i think we have a chance to stop and reprioritize and shift just a little bit. >> tucker: huh, do think people will do that? that would require getting off netflix too, right? >> again, do you want to do the time or do you want the time to do you? you want to come out with a great novel or do you want to come out with a venereal disea

is that millennials are hearing more likely higher risk of catching coronavirus. the health official was saying that. that is actually untrue but you know where that comes from? we see millennials, unfortunately not taking the precautions we want them to take. we need to sit down and have a heart to heart with them and not have adversarial issue. it has to be discussed. they have to understand social distancing. we have to talk to them about precautions. but another thing that is a myth unfortunately, we heard from china who were not going to get sick from this virus unless you were over the age of 60 or 70 years old. unfortunately, i can tell you, we see in the hospitals in new york around the country, people getting very sick from this than before. it is predominately older people with pre-existing conditions but you are not immune from that possibility if you are younger. we need to dispel that myth. you are not more likely to catch up but if you get it you can still get sick.

the second story i want to talk about is type a blood appear there was actually a single study out of china that said tht type a blood, people with type e susceptible to coronavirus. that swept over the media but that was based on a single study. it was never peer-reviewed and it hasn't been published. and i'm a suspect of it but i'm not ruling it out entirely because sometimes it does predispose you certain reactions but i'm not taking that as a scientific fact and i don't want anyone out there to say i'm type a i'm really in trouble. that is the second. don't think that. third one that i want to talk about is the use of advil or ibuprofen. that is something that you really need to be talking about because tucker, people get high fever. one of the first things that medical director said, this is characterized by high fever. you know, that is one of the things we look for and that is why screening at airports look for that. but you know what, they also

came up with an idea. people search google and said wait a minute, advil and ibuprofen can cause a rare lung infection. about tucker, that is a very rare side effect. and it's not tear to my characterizing this so i would call that a myth too. a provision i don't want people popping a lot of ibuprofen. they have to take tylenol more than ibuprofen. the main thing is to get the temperature down. this is not something you absolutely cannot take. >> tucker: interesting. you are saying has a general matter you would want people to take tylenol, but it will not poison you if you take advil. >> yes, and i don't want people take way beyond the amount of tylenol they are supposed to be there. look, this is a time of great fear in our society. people are worried. people are looking for solutions. and i want to tell them, look at the public health officials and follow these guidelines to

decrease the amount of virus. >> tucker: >> tucker: i appreciate that thank you for your time. >> thanks tucker. the chairman of the senate intelligence committee sold more than $1 million in stock in february after learning how devastating the chinese coronavirus could be. he had inside information about what could happen to the country which is now happening, but he didn't want the public. he didn't give a proper time of address or go to the television to sound the alarm. he didn't bed, just ten days before claiming america was "better prepared for the coronavirus. he didn't do those things but instead what did he do? he dumped his shares into hotel stocks so we wouldn't lose money. then he stayed silent. maybe there is an honest explanation for what he did. if there is, he should share it with the rest of us immediately. otherwise, he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for insider trading. there is no greater moral crime and betraying your country in a

time of crisis. that is appears to be what happened. we will have more in the story tomorrow. that is it for us tonight. and call or text the ones you love. have a happy, healthy evening, sean hannity in new york standing by. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." big breaking and perhaps hopefully, hopefully game changing news tonight. the red tape with fda, the president acting at unprecedented speed at america's top scientists, medical researchers, doctors working around the clock on new, major break through ways to treat the coronavirus. actually the fda approved and already in use. we have these incredible details coming up tonight, three, separate areas we are working on right now. we are also in the midst of the major worldwide pandemic, sadly, this full-blown global crisis might have been prevented or at least mitigated if
