the gillette skinguard it has a guard between the blades that helps protect skin. the gillette skinguard. good night, everybody. musica♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." for weeks now we've heard too consistent talking points from corporate media as well as from the politicians and tech monopolies which they have colluded. the first is the world health organization how to fight this virus are the most authoritative in the world. we must listen to the w.h.o. period. the second thing they told us is that sweden's refusal to lock down its country is criminally misguided. people are dying as a result of that decision. anyone that claims otherwise is immoral. that's what they've been saying again and again. well, something amazing has happened.

the world health organization just endorsed the swedish approach. so what does that say, but the very nonswedish lockdown is currently paralyzing her country and it says a lot. we will explain in a minute. but for us tonight and update on the side of general michael flynn. like so much else it has happened recently in america out the flynn story lays bare the architecture of control that has been present just beneath the surface of this country for a long time. for reasons we still don't fully understand, michael flynn deeply offended permanent washington somehow so they destroyed decided destroy them. they pretended to believe he was a secret agent and then they trapped him on a bogus perjury charge. when he resisted they threatened to hurt his son until he signed a confession. it sound like something that happened in china, but it happened here in our capital city of washington. we've known that for a long time. but we didn't know is that there was an extensive written record that proves all of this happened and in fact the truth is worse

even then we guessed. fbi agents decided to close her investigation into michael flynn and his ties to russia. after much searching they found "no derogatory information about flynn. so it was over and he was in the clear. but it wasn't. peter strzok demanded that the investigation stay open until the bureau could invent a crime and crush michael flynn. in the end that's what happened. there is nothing worse than this. until the secret police operate in third world dictatorships and that's exactly how peter strzok operated and then he lied about it extensively. listen to his greasy self-righteousness and congressional testimony two years ago. >> not once in my 26 years of defending our nation did my personal opinion impact any official action i took.

this is true for the clinton email investigation, for the investigation into russian interference and for every other investigation i worked on. it is not who i am and it is not something i would ever do, period. i understand that my sworn testimony will not be enough for some people. after all, americans are skeptical of anything coming out of washington but the fact is after months of investigation there is simply no evidence of bias in my professional actions. >> tucker: what an oleaginous liar, he should be in prison, really. in fact, if they treated their official's the way they treated their opponents he should be serving a sentence for everything he just said. pretty much everything he said in congress was perjury. instead the fbi continue to let peter strzok metal in americane politics, and our democracy. the one they claim they are protecting.

instead of grossly negligent, the distinction was between a crime and not a crime. they let he let them off the hook. in january of 2017 it was peter strzok who took the bogus investigation going. hey, he wrote to a colleague on january 4. don't close a razor. that was the internal name for the michael flynn investigation. that very same day he sent out a 14 page document about an obscure law called the logan act. the logant act has been around for 200 years and it bans private citizens from conducting diplomacy foreign country. no one in american history has been convicted of defiling the logan act. in fact the law may be unconstitutional but none of that mattered to peter strzok. the logan act was the weapon to

bash michael flynn. o that same day he texted his girlfriend "razor still open, a serendipitously good i guess. at this point it was over for michael flynn. the fbi arranged an interview but had no idea what was coming. fbi officials plotted to "get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired. it worked. when stated the fact, the fbi had spied on that phone call so he knew. flynn's life was over and his family was destroyed. in late 2018 after he had cashed in on his book bragging about himself, from fbi director jim comey he laughed about how easy it was to set flynn up. >> look at this white house now and it's hard to imagine to fbi agent setting up in the same room. how did that happen?

>> i set, consent them. something i probably wouldn't have done or wouldn't have gotten away with in a very organized investigation, a more organized administration. i thought it's early enough, let's just sent a couple of guys onoriover. [laughter] and so we placed a call to flynn and said we are sending a couple of guys over. i hope you will talk to them. he said, sure. nobody else was there, they interviewed him in a conference room at the white house situation room and he lied to them and that's what he pled guilty to. >> what did he think they were coming over therefor? >> i don't think he knew, we didn't tell him. >> tucker: it's all pretty funny. destroying someone's life and destroying his family because oey are in the way of the powe. you seek.

he would have to be a dark, cold person to chuckle about something like that and jim comey certainly is the darkest in the coldest. we want to be clear at this point that we are not personally close to michael flynn, he's not some secret friend of the show. it isn't about one man comforts about our country. you don't want to live in a society where the most powerful agency in government imprisons people it doesn't like, that is horrifying. people come to this country to escape it, and it can happen. it could definitely without question happen to you. the story matters, and we will cover it in some detail tonight. joining us is bret baier. brett, thank you for coming on. from my perspective we have not covered this very closely on the show for the past three years because it's confusing and, what are the ramifications of it do you think politically?

>> tucker: just think about this for the fbi during those times. this has been a horrible few weeks when it comes to those revelations. think about when it came out as the lack of exculpatory evidence being put into these fisa requests. that's a separate issue, and in the handwriting, are we getting him to lie so we can get him fired? that's written down. now, what wasn't written down? we don't know what wasn't written down but we do know that the former fbi director on that book saying he didn't go through the white house counsel or white house in any way and in fact other documents show that andrew mccabe, his deputy, advise flynn not to get an attorney. so he didn't have representation and they didn't say why they were going to go interview him. and here's the kicker. they had the transcript of the

call with ambassador kislyak. they knew exactly what was said. so it wasn't just a talk between governor officials, they were there to get him. >> tucker: so you've covered politics in washington for decades and you know how things actually work. it's pretty striking to read that a law enforcement agency is listening in on a phone call without the knowledge of the national security advisor. is this common? >> no, not that we know of. but we don't know what we don't know as far as that administration and the transition. i think there's a lot that we have yet to learn about the early stages of that investigation. but just at this point, we flip it around. let's say that these were fbi agents going to see national security advisor susan rice. and ask questions and some kind of set up like this, what would be the media coverage of that now, if it wasn't a trump

administration national security advisor like michael flynn? arguably we are learning more and more as time goes on. the problem is, you can't goe back and change the time that we were in then and think about all the coverage that engendered that moment? >> tucker: a lot of people in washington are willing to excuse tacticsst?uc and that has been y interesting. bret baier, thank you for that perspective. great to see you. these new documents are the latest proof that from the very beginning, director jim comey saw his office as an independent. that's not an overstatement. in his view he was not subject to the president's authority or to anyone's authority and that's why he believed he could lie to his boss and hide things.

he even bragged about doing it. >> did you tell him that the steele dossier have been financed by his opponents? >> i don't think i used that term. i just talked about additional material. >> did he have a right to know that? >> that it had been financed by his political opponents? i don't know the answer to that. it was unknown to him that we had this information. >> tucker: it wasn't necessary for my goal, said jim comey. imagine living in a country where the guy in the largest and most powerful police department in the world can decide to do exactly what he felt like doing. with no effort whatsoever. it's terrifying. just like any other sleazy politician he thinks nothing of beating ridiculous rumors about his enemy to the press. >> i honestly never thought these words will come out of my mouth, it's possible. but i don't know.

>> tucker: jeff sessions was president's first attorney general and he is now wrunning for the u.s. senate. and he joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. though you worked with jim comey and i technically work for you. what did you make of jim comey? and these notes and that video you just showed of him bragging about him really violating traditional policies and the department of justice before interviewing the national security advisor of the united states of america, just a a few days after he took office. when he was swamped with a a million things to do and theft agents came in and softly warned

that it could be a violation of law. those notes go back to comey, when they talked about conducting this interview. as he said they sent them in and wouldn't have done it against t obama and wouldn't have done it against bush. he was in the first days of this demonstration and that's why he did it. i think as this is evidence, and then it was a set up, perjury trap. it's really clear. and it's important, jim comey was the leader of it and these agents would not have done it if you haven't set them in and i think he bears grave responsibilities. at that time he took over the clinton case and just announced that there would be a prosecution totally apart from his power as fbi director which is just defined facts, not to impact policy in america.

it's really not a bad thing it is important. >> tucker: let me ask you something.me it sounds like you had real concerns. did you ever voice your concerns to the president about jim comey? >> well i don't talk about what i tell the president, but i think people knew that i felt that he should not continue from virtually day one of the administration. when i was asked by the aspresident about it it didn't take me 30 seconds to say, my recommendation is that he be removed. >> tucker: let me ask you quickly, but why did the fbi and so many in washington want mike flynn off the stage and in jail. >> while president obama said to president trump that he should not keep flynn, and that was his number one advice to him.

there were lots of people who did not want him there. president trump liked him and he got elected and in that interview happened before i became attorney general of course and i wasn't aware of it in any way. but i would just say, yes. there was hostility to the general flynn and if you look at the interview it does appear that he had a plan and if you i acknowledged what happened, they would say he violated the logan act. if he didn't, they would accuse you of perjury. that was not the way to treat somebody. the white house counsel, and that's the key member of the president's administration and the national security advisor. he of course lasts about how he got around that. >> tucker: is shocking.

you should never treat anyone that way. thanks for coming on tonight. >> thank you. >> thanks for coming. you know so much about this case. i'm going to ask an open-ended question which is to assess what you think would happen. >> i will go to the "why question which is the most important one. i think you have to understand that flynn was not the objective, he was the obstacle. trump comes into office with really a bunch of novices around him and flynn was unusual in that he was a seasoned intelligence professional. why is that important?

well, what is the obama administration and they will continue the investigation because the quarry here is not flynn, it's trump. so in order to continue the investigation while trump's t c president, they have to be able to conduct it under circumstances where the president has the power to cut it off. the most important documents in what we saw today are the emails from the days right before the january 24th interview. they talk about doing a defensive briefing for flynn, and the idea is you would go in and you would tell him about parts of the trump-russia investigation, crossfire hurricane. not because they wanted to but because they understand he is the national security advisor. he knows how the intelligence system works and he knows how the fbi interacts with it. he's going to find out that we investigated the trump campaign.

so the idea was let's give him a defensive briefing and use it as an opportunity to interview him and maybe monitor him and then go into the white house that tells him everything and destroys the investigation. so if he tells him about the investigation, the investigation is over. so it goes from it defensive briefing to a perjury trap. but they needed him out of there, because they thought that the other people including the president, they'd be able to handle. but flynn was not somebody that enthey were going to be able to continue this investigation ifom he was the national security advisor and i think they thought they needed him out of here. >> tucker: that's a smartest and most plausible

explanation -- thank you, i needed that, it's bothering me. good to see you. speaking by the way of political prosecutions, we told you several times that roger stone was set to report to prison in a faraway state.o he received a call at the bureau thing that has been kicked down the road for a month. of course, we will keep you posted. for many weeks now americans have faced censorship and even arrest if they promoted the same coronavirus policy is used in sweden. now, amazingly, the world health organization can see that sweden was right in the way it it approached it. so why have our leaders been telling us the opposite and what does this mean? more after the break. ♪ and... let's get started.

(music fades in) hey! -hi! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ >> in this country alone and these numbers are hard to believe, more than 30 million people have lost their jobs and not just last two months. across the world, it will likely be in hundreds of millions. the virus itself for it destroyed virtually. those jobs in these economies are destroyed by lockdown and most workers have been ordered to stay home and have been the most economically destructive global event since the second world war. we have been assured repeatedly

that all of this is actually necessary. the world health organization prays the dom academic praised the government of china because china did a model bigger thanom the entire city of new york city for two months. the top health official said we had no choice but to follow suit. our politicians agreed and o threatened to arrest anyone who didn't obey their orders. not surprisingly most citizens dutifully complied. as a lockdown spread across the world one country stood apart from the rest, sweden. unlike almost every western nation come sweden steadfastly refused to lockdown. restaurants there estate open -- stayed open and so did schools, and life remained for the most part fairly normal under the circumstances. now our media normally extols swedened as a paragon of wise policymaking,we they love sweden and always have, soft socialism. and yet on a dime they turned. suddenly we were told that sweden was in fact a corkscrew and.

jeff bezos personal newspaper "the washington post." sweden girds for thousands of deaths. sweden's government is trying a risky coronavirus strategy, it could backfire, wrote vox.com. it's the very same publication that any suggestion that coronavirus came from a lab had been "debunked. as always, vox was confident, smug and totally wrong. at a briefing yesterday, michael ryan, executive director of the w.h.o.'s health directive program said this about sweden. >> i think there is a perception out there that sweden has just allowed the disease to spread and nothing could be further from the truth. if you act to reach the new normal i think in many ways sweden represents a future model and, sweet and now the model.

after a months month of sustained hysterics, praising the lockdown policy in which people were locked outside of their apartments until they starve to death. after an collectible damage to hundreds of millions of families, the world health organization is now telling us almost casually that actually our model should be sweden. now who was a man we just saw speaking. just two months ago this guy's model was not sweden, it was cambodia. watch this. .> and most parts of the world, most of the transmission that is happening in many countries now is happening in the household and family level. in some senses transmission has

been taken off of the streets and pushed back into family units. now, we need to go and look in families to find those people who may be sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner. >> tucker: oh. so we are just going to go into people's homes, presumably armed, and kidnapped their family members if they might be infected? that was the world healthy organization's idea for fighting coronavirus just a month ago. it got virtually no publicity because our media of course agreed with it. it was insane. it's pretty clear now. we are glad w.h.o. is admitting it is insane, in fact. found much comfort at this point. the world health organization has always been wrong about coronavirus. w.h.o. told us that could not spread from person-to-person, a lie. he they say the virus would have stopped and would spread worldwide, a lie. they said it was racist to talk about where the virus came from. okay.

they said face masks were ineffective, indeed, counterproductive. again, those weren't simply wrong statements, those were at the behest of the chinese government w that controls the strings of the world health organization. so was promoting lockdowns a lie,he too? we can't say, we have no evidence. but at a minimum authorities were once again incredibly shockingly wrong about the prescriptions for fighting coronavirus. the strategy they post relentlessly. in fact, that hurt us in the end more than the virus that claims to be fighting. at the same time, they silenced anyone who dared disagree with their silly prescriptions. youtube removed video by two physicians calling mass quarantines excessive. in fact, just suggesting they might be excessive, you can't have that. facebook took down pages for

political protests and called them misinformation. so what did that misinformation consist of? it consisted of american citizens pleading for swedish style coronavirus policies. the very same policies we are now told by the world health organization are a model for the restry of us. has there ever been a bigger screw up? probably not.za but you know what there hasn't been? even a second of self reflection. for our professional class, our smug overlords accompanying wrong on the single most policy decision in living memory is no rfason to abandon a sweeping power grab which they are deeply enjoying. today, adam schiff, let us remind you, one of the most powerful figures in government, he's the chairman of the house intelligence committee, sent a letter to youtube, facebook and twitter kept the tech monopolies. telling them to "remove or downgrade opinions" he disagrees with. in the atlantic's, supposedly mainstream law professors called

for a permanent switch to a chinese style censorship regimeh in which government and the tech monopolies have power to silence identity is that they don't like. three months ago this stuff would have been left off the stage. now it's everywhere, all the time comes and we are starting to accept it. protecting public health it turns out, and this is becoming very obvious, it was just a excuse for a pretext. for people in charge, rolling back your rights and making obey was clearly the goal. this is the president of the copenhagen consensus center and author of the skeptical environmentalist. we are happy to have him on tonight to assess what should now be told. were you surprised to hear world health organization? >> i think it's great that they are doing that. sweden is what you get when you ask the experts to the show.en when you don't have a cure and you don't have a vaccine that an

doesn't seem to be forthcoming, you can just let corona rip through society. you can have a strict lockdown which is what many states have done. but likewise, you need to also understand that a strict lockdown is simply not sustainable. you can't askckdo people to be locked down for months and months on end. you are pushing most of the death in front of you, and that was inevitable. sooner or later, we would have to realize that we have to become somewhat like sweden, and it keeps the level of infection below the capacity of the health care system but doesn't actually say, we are going to have something we can't live with in the long run. >> tucker: are you surprised by the hostility that sweden, which i spent many decades being the object of universal love

from fashionable people, the hostility we have received? i think it is understandable that people say it is a big disease. by locking people down, it's an understandable -- an immediate reaction. but you have to think of this in the long game. we are talking about a year, two years or maybe more. you can't have a strong lockdown forever and that's why i think you need to recognize if you alook at what most epidemiologists tell you to do,o is to flatten the curve so that your health system can handle this and that is what sweden has been doing. it's not actually locking everyone down, both because it has a huge economic cost and it actually doesn't solve the problem in the long run. >> tucker: it doesn't solve the problem, exactly. following the science, maybe we should have tried that.

thanks. maine is a small state so it's government does not get a lot of attention which is a shame because it's governed by one of the most meatier mediocre in america. janet mills, she's ordered her state to stay close for another month based on nothing whatsoever. one main restaurant owners that he's is opening up tomorrow anyway. no matter what she says. we will explain. other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when our clients do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different.

>> light from america's headquarters to mime ashley strohmeyer. the u.s. can never declare "total victory over the coronavirus because too many people have died." president trump added he will count a win when the economy is fully reopened and the virus is gone. john hopkins university killed 53,000 americans and 1 million people in the u.s. tested positive for the virus. in the coronavirus pandemic having a effect on the u.s. economy. the number of unemployed americans with a staggering 30 million. this is 3.8 million people filed for unemployment this week. the layoffs amount to one in six workers. the economists predict the u.s. unemployment rate for april which comes out next week could be as high as 20%. i'm ashley strohmeyer and back to "tucker carlson tonight."

>> tucker: the state of maine has one of this country's least severe coronavirus outbreaks. so far a total of only 53 people have died. as of tuesday according to the state health department there were a grand total of 33 people in the state and hospitals with coronavirus. that's out of a population of 1.3 million people. according to new information, we will be confident the state will not collapse if it does open back up and that would be a pretty good idea at this point since one in every seven people in the state of maine is now unemployed. that's all thanks to governor janet mills who doesn't care at all. she just ordered the state to remain closed indefinitely. rick savage has had enough ofro this and he owns a restaurant in bethel, maine. he said he's opening up tomorrow and is daring the state to stop him. rick, good to have you on. so i should just say at the outset t that during the coursef the past couple months, we will

give away a couple thousand meals in your community for free so it's not like you are not engaged with the people around you, you are. plu are planning to open up in the state of maine. why are you doing it and what do you think will happen? >> the order originally stated may 1st and we were gearing up for that. he closed for six weeks. cooked for the community, went right through the whole restaurant and remodeled and cleaned it and it's time to open back up. we have gone through of the parts of maine, and i couldn't fit people in a 6-foot space from everywhere and get open backup from visitors. we tried to call the governor, and all businesses are made to open up and we should have never been shut down in the first place.

>> we are encouraging allav businesses in maine to open up. we need to open back up or we will lose a third of the restaurants. who knows how many hotels and other businesses. we are advocating for everybody. just not my restaurant. it's time to go back to work. and if they do take me to court i will save my tax money that i collect this month and use that to find a lawyer. and if they do take me to court i will save my tax money that i collect this month and use that to find a lawyer. >> tucker: it's the last time i checked, it's a state, what do you think the authorities janet mills will do? you are admitting this on television. what do you think will happen tomorrow?

>> i don't take anything will happen because she is over her head. we are broke. so she's trying to get federal money from the government to bail her out so she makes the state look like we are broke. she will get more federal money and doesn't care about the people in the state of maine. if she did she would be reaching out to these businesses. in this first half, i called the lawmakers and i said if you guys gave us back tax money that we collected for you, the 8% for january and february and you i suspend march, we can all get through this and it would be really easy for you guys to do. some of the businesses aren'tnd even there, and as a matter of fact i got a letter a couple of weeks ago that said don't forget, you still owe marches sales tax. >> tucker: come on. janet mills is the most confident dictatorial governor that i've seen in a o long time.

>> i appreciate you coming on and i hope all of these restaurants and i would love to share janet mills phone number with everyone so she can talk tl them directly. you can't even call. at the lawmakers can't even call, they have to email. how about this? if our viewers are interested, at sunday river view pub. call it ask for a rick savage. >> come up and let's get the state back open. thank you. >> tucker: and have a cheeseburger. school has been canceled for two months to protect the children. is it protecting the children? turns out coronavirus poses

virtually zero risk to children and new evidence suggests that children pose a virtually no risk to adults because i almost ennever spread the virus. in fact there is not one documented case of a child spreading the virus. .what is going on? dr. marc siegel explains come next. ♪ ing

♪ >> tucker: wow. still trying to process the last segment. rick savage of bethel, maine. and now to the latest science. there is no evidence that young children do not spread the coronavirus. not what we thought. and, thank you for coming on tonight. that 78 studies out of the

united kingdom havee shown that children especially under the age of ten are not very likely to get covid-19 or to spread it. it's being a little bit misinterpreted and the centers for disease control said that one or 2% of cases looking at 150,000 cases were children under the age of 18. the reall truth is, 90% of children have a symptomatic cases so tucker, they appear to have a protein in the lungs that protects them from severe disease and almost all of the children who get this are either asymptomatic or have mild cases. it's not true that they can't spread it. and this is called operation warp speed and it's a new vaccine program that president trump president trump was announcing yesterday. it's a joint effort between aa department of defense at health and human services.

i spoke to health and human services secretary alex azar. this is about going to the process. it where you go through vaccine each step is like a drip and a drabek, let's look at the risk. but in this case, the federal government will take the risk in their own hands and as the vaccine production is moved up and as they prove immunity, you know what they are going to do? they will produce millions of doses of the vaccine at the same time. w they may have a hundred million doses ready to go for the rec and public by next january. that is the goal that is veryy ambitious. >> that would be quite an advance. dr. siegel, thank you for that. >> never been done. thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we try our hardest to get every single number righ.

on the show. there's so much garbage we don't want to add to but sometimes we get it wrong. we want to correct some numbers that we shared with you last night. and they said those mass have not yet arrived and that news story trent says it turns out that the first shipment came in just two days ago. we said newsom was fined 200 million mass at $5 apiece and the contract was in fact for 500 million mass at $2 apiece. by the way that is still two and a half times but the city ofby los angeles has paid to buy mass from honeywell, an american company. and they make certain. >> tucker: we got a lot of advice for an extended lockdown last month. did he follow his own advice? we check in with him next. ♪ onth. did he follow his

>> tucker: we tried to check in with some of our favorite guests every few weeks to see how they are holding up and first among them is adam corolla, the famous podcast host, how the month of april has treated him. he is the author of the forthcoming book "i'm your emotional support animal." how has it been? >> i'm doing well, how are you doing? >> tucker: pretty well considering. >> yeah, we got some bad news out here in southern california

in the socal earlier today because governor newsom is closing down orange county beaches. i love the beach and its hot as the hubs of hell out here. as far as i can tell, the coronavirus doesn't live in the sun but i was thinking about the beaches and the symbolism of the beaches. remember when you were a kid, you a would go to the beach and there was a beach sign and there is one thing on it, closed midnight to 5:00 a.m.? and every year they started adding something to the sign, no frisbee, no dogs, no smoking?om now it's no beach. >> tucker: no fires. >> that's right. but the sign is a metaphor for big government. nothing ever gets taken off the sign. something gets added to the sign every time. >> tucker: is there a science behind that, what do you make of that?

>> i don't know. first off, no one who goes to the beach is in jeopardy. last i could tell, all the data says elderly and morbidly obese -- and they looked bad in bathing suits. so there is no way they are going to the beach. it's just the young, fit people. let them have a good time. >> tucker: are you going to obey this order? >> i don't know if i'm going full waco, ruby ridge or not, but i'm already walking along the horse trail behind my house which has been cordoned off, they cordoned off a horse trail in a suburban neighborhood and there's nobody on it, there never was anybody on it and the last person i passed on a horse was 8 feet away from me because they were 8 feet above me.

>> tucker: are horses and a known foruc coronavirus >> tucker: are horses a known vector for coronavirus? >> i'm not aware of it, i think they can outrun it, i'm pretty sure most horses are faster than the coronavirus -- it's just time to open things up because now we are doing stories about dogs getting the coronavirus and i'm starting to go stir crazy. >> tucker: if there was a horseshoe bat trail behind your house, i can see closing that down. but maybe not horses. but you look great and i hope next year at this time we are going to check in and see how your year of lockdown has been in the state of california. good luck getting through it. >> i'm going to go build a castle made of sand. >> tucker: the great adam corolla, great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: that is about itar
