>> be sure to listen to the untold story podcast that goes up on monday. have a good weekend, everybody. we will see you back on monday. >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the arrival of the chinese coronavirus has put tens of millions out of work, really hurt the economy badly. but the crisis is also forced to the center serious conversations about issues that matter to the future of the country. issues like the dangerous rise of chinese global dominance, the poorest in us our domestic borders, this countries crumbling infrastructure, government meant incompetence. you may have asked yourself why weren't we talking about these before? that's a good question, we

didn't have time. if there was no time to consider the health of america because we were busy talking about russia. in washington, russia is all we talked about for three years. all normal business in the capital city it came to a halt as we embarked on a bizarre scavenger hunt in search of vladimir putin's spies. even at the time, the whole thing seemed absurd. if we it was worse than absurd. this wasn't what we thought it was, it was instead an elaborate and intentional hoax staged by the most unscrupulous and powermad political operatives the country has ever seen. how do we know that? they have admitted it. yesterday, the house intelligence committee chaired by congressman adam schiff of california finally released 57 transcripts of testimony delivered to the committee behind closed doors, all of it during the russia investigation. what do those transcript to reveal? we are not going to ask you to trust us on this one, instead we

will quote directly from the transcript. jim klapper said this "i never saw any direct empirical evidence of the trump campaign or someone in it plotting or conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election." compare that to his twitter feed. samantha power meanwhile was asked by the committee if she had any evidence of collusion with the russians, she replied "i am not in possession of anything. i am not in possession and did not get information from the intelligence community." national security advisor susan rice said i don't recall intelligence i would consider evidence. amazing. here is former attorney general loretta lynch. if she saw evidence of russian collusion, she replied this way "i do not recall that being briefed to me." notice the word choice, here i do not recall. for three years, our entire

political system revolved around the hunt for russian spies. we were told again and again in order to justify it that collusion was the greatest crime ever committed in american history, a crime against the state. it undermined our democracy. if the attorney general of the united states claims she "does not recall" that any of it was true, she would have been charged with perjury on the spot. we would be watching her sentencing right now. and of course, she probably thought the transcript of those remarks would never be made public. that was clearly the assumption. the former defense department official 40 obama administratio, news outlets scrambled for puppets with legitimate sounding resumes to push the russia collusion narrative. young people would say anything. here she was in march of 2017. >> i was urging my former

colleagues, it was more at telling the people to get as much intelligence as you can, before president obama leaves the administration because i had a fear that that information would disappear with the senior people who left. it would be hidden away, and bureaucracy that the trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew about the trump staff dealing with russians, that they would try to compromise those sources meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence. so i became very worried, because not enough is coming out into the open and i knew that there was more people. that's what you have leaking. we have very good intelligence on russia. >> tucker: we have very good intelligence on russia. said dr. evelyn farkas. we knew what we knew, but she didn't know anything.

farkas was lying, as purely as a liar can lie. once under oath, behind closed doors, farkas admitted that "i didn't know anything." it was all lies, literally all of it. even the court claims about hacking that formed the basis of the entire story and the investigation that followed. in 2016, during the campaign, someone stole information from the dnc email server that embarrassed hillary clinton. democrats quickly blamed that on russia and donald trump. in fact, there was never real evidence that that actually happened. the dnc, you will remember, never allowed federal investigators to inspect their email servers. that's on behavior for people who claim to be the victims. instead, the servers were inspected by a third party company called crowd to strike, all of this coming back to you?

adam schiff's committee interviewed the ceo of crowd strike john henry. he questioned him directly, if henry knew when the russians had stolen data. his reply which we are seeing for the first time was this. "as it relates to the dnc, we have indicators that data was infiltrated. we do not have concrete evidence." later, henry admitted he had only "circumstantial evidence does quote that the russians were involved at all. adam schiff heard those words directly, he heard it from the one person who would know for certain. adam schiff knew there was nothing substantial at the core of the russian collusion story, at the very center it was hollow, a sham. he never even suggested this in public, and said he the opposite. he spent years on television telling you it was totally real, shut up. >> there is clear evidence on the issue of collusion, ample

evidence of collusion in plain sight. >> have democrats found any evidence? >> yes we have. you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence. there is significant evidence of collusion. of people in the trump campaign with the russians. >> there is significant evidence of collusion between the campaign and russia. >> tucker: in case you weren't counting during that montage, adam schiff said evidence nine times. and everything will time, he was lying. it was fairly obvious at the time if you were following closely, he never produced any of the so-called "evidence" that the dnc server were hacked by the russian government. several times on the show, we

raised the question do we really know this? a group of retired intelligence officers said actually, that didn't happen and here's how we know. we came under enormous pressure to be quiet good you're crazy, know that for a fact but we didn't know it. when he came on the show, we ask him how do you know this? he never answered our question, he accused us of treason. >> absolutely, the government of vladimir putin was behind the attacks. not only in the united states, but also in europe. >> tucker: i know they did. >> you are carrying water for the kremlin. >> tucker: i'm not carrying water for the kremlin! you can't say they hacked -- >> you will have to move our show to your russian television.

>> tucker: a normal person would not behave that way, conscience would prevent it. adam schiff is a sociopath. he will do or say anything to achieve power, he is unfit to hold office, he should resign. and not just adam schiff, the entire apparatus of official washington has been exposed by these transcripts, as well as by the documents released in the michael flynn case we went over last night. in november of 2019, government attorney defended the fbi's decision to interrogate flynn at the white house with no lawyer. "the fbi was engaged in a legitimate and significant investigation into whether individuals associated with the campaign of then candidate donald trump were coordinating with the russian government." in that same filing, he wrote that flynn's phone call with the russian ambassador was essential importance. it was imperative that the fbi determine whether and why such

communications with the russian ambassador had occurred. both of those statements we now know conclusively our lives. the fbi had already known that there was no derogatory information tying michael flynn to the russian government. nor did they need to know whether flynn had spoken with ambassador. they knew for a fact he had, because they were listening at the time. they had a word for word transcript of the call. in other words, ban he was lyinn his filing. this is not only of importance to donald trump and people who work for him or people who voted for him, this is important to every american because things fall apart quickly when high-level officials do things like this for political reasons. look around. do you know anybody who trusts the government anymore? there is a reason for that. and it's not good.

it's things like this. and by the way, it's not just democrats you should blame for the corrosion of our public life. the vast majority of the russian collusion investigation occurred during the first two years of this of mensuration. who ran the government then? republicans controlled, they had the power to expose this hoax and shut it down but they did not. we can only speculate as to why they did not, perhaps too cowardly to tell the truth or maybe deep down a lot of them agreed with the aims of all of this. either way, it will be very interesting and we will sit back and enjoy it as lindsey graham at mitch mcconnell and richard burr in so many of the other useless republicans, total phons who told you they are representing you but don't, explain why they didn't do anything to stop the derailment of america while it was in progress.

she joins us tonight, francie thank you for coming on. these turn out to be more than those who were skeptical from day one, how clearly these show that everyone was lying. >> you know, tucker, what really shocks me about this is the conduct of the molar team. special counsel team, these documents submitted by bill barr show us that sally gates and some of the people at the very highest levels of the department of justice gave interviews to the mueller team in august of 2017 where they talked about the misconduct, the clear misconduct going on by jim comey and andy mccabe and peter strzok as they ran up and down pennsylvania avenue trying to find a way to destroy this young presidency. they knew this, in august of 2017 when they did these

interviews and yet, what did mueller's team do? they continued, they prosecuted flynn, they continued this collusion conspiracy narrative in spite of knowing very well by then that the dossier was nonsense, the logan act was never brought against anyone, and that michael flynn didn't do anything wrong and that the fbi did. they knew all of that, but did we know any of that? we did not. >> tucker: do you find, they didn't like the outcome of the election so they set about trying to destroy the administration. what shocks me is that they spent three years lecturing us about the threat to our democracy, and foreign forces trying to undermine our democracy even as they were trying to undermine our democracy. >> ultimately, that is what tierney does. when one side uses the power,

the secret surveillance capabilities of an entire government, the threat of what is supposed to be the premier law enforcement agency in the world over a man to destroy him and try to get in to take down the presidency, it should scare everyone. i blame, as you said in your monologue, i blame both republicans and democrats. you had hearings going on, subpoena capabilities, and they all sat back and said to mueller, mueller, mueller. mueller knew right from the jump that this was all garbage, and they continued. >> tucker: i know we are supposed to pretend that mitch mcconnell is impressive because he understands how the senate worked. why didn't you do anything about this? what are your priorities, what is your job? we will get to that, francie, great to see you tonight. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: bret baier is our chief political anchor whose special report of course every weeknight at 6:00 eastern, always happy to have him.

some of these documents are kind of, even for those of us who are cynical about it, are surprising. what's the political fallout of this question marks >? >> let's start with the michael flynn development, you see this split along party lines where the left is pointing to bill barr and saying he is overshooting and politicizing the doj. he is very matter of fact, once he saw the facts and all of the tactics used by the fbi under the legal problems around this, it was an easy call. remember, it wasn't bill barr who made the original recommendations to do this. it was a u.s. attorney, jeffrey jensen. barr appointed to look into the flynn situation, and jensen writes in his recommendation that this was untethered to end unjustified by the fbi's counterintelligence into general flynn, they had this

investigation to seat flynn was tied to russia, they determined that there was nothing to it. but then they move forward anyway with this interview going around the white house counsel. i think it will be fallout from that, as this investigation continues. >> tucker: i wonder this information we are getting now, how many, do we have any idea how many in congress knew this existed? >> clearly, the people on the house intelligence committee had some sense. i don't know about the back knowledge or the inner workings of the flynn situation, but i do know the acting attorney general sally yates was astonished. at the fbi was going around the white house counsel to set up interviews. she obviously didn't say anything about that after she leaves office. and she doesn't come up it's not illuminated as james comey is dg

his work, i asked him a lot of these types of questions and he dodged on the specifics. i think there will be fallout as learn more, there are more shoes to drop here as far as documents, significant information. some of these republicans have been trying to get that out, some of it has been classified. but others i think perhaps to your point look the other way. >> tucker: really quick, i will ask you to speculate. when we get another president, whenever that is, how paranoid will that president to be dealing with the fbi and cia, doj and general question marks >> i think pretty frightened, looking at the actions so far. i don't think we know the extent of it, and we are probably looking at a month or two, it always seems like we say that before the investigation drops. we know it has been a lengthy

and detailed investigation that is criminal, there will be more to come. >> tucker: democrats say they trust these institutions, if a democrat wins he will fire everybody. brett, great to see you tonight, thank you. >> have a good weekend. we want you to. american supermarkets are suffering and shortages, not because the food doesn't exist. farmers are dumping it. what exactly is going on? speaking of what is going on, sanford cisco city is delivering free drugs and alcohol and tobacco to veterans in the city. that's straight ahead. tv just keeps getting better.

how you watch it does too. this is xfinity x1, featuring the emmy award-winning voice remote. access to your favorite apps, including netflix, prime video, youtube and hulu. all without changing passwords and inputs. the most 4k content and movies and shows on any screen. the best entertainment experience all in one place. xfinity x1. simple. easy. awesome. xfinity. the future of awesome.

>> tucker: coronavirus related food shortages are getting worse in some places, but not because farmers aren't producing enough food. they are. matt is life with the details on a baffling story. >> tucker, some of the video is hard to watch. farmers say they are on edge, chain of supply is breaking, and they are being forced to get rid of produce, meat, and milk. customers have suddenly dried up as so many of the country's restaurants, hotels, and schools are closed. some of the nation's largest meat processors are shut down out of precaution or because workers are sick or die of coronavirus. it's dumping about 1 million pounds of unused milk every day. the warehouses are overflowing.

in boston this week, farmers donated thousands of gallons of milk to the national guard to hand out. potato farmers in states like idaho and washington are giving away millions of pounds of potatoes. in florida, farmers are being forced to plow their crops. major meat processors like tyson warned there will also be a shortage of meat and millions of animals could be euthanized. farmers are set to receive federal aid but there is more pressure i had. farmers have to make decisions right now to harvest crops in the summer and fall and there is no telling what the economy and demand is going to look like ben. tucker. >> tucker: thanks a lot for that, matt. you may be one of them, tens of millions of americans are now unemployed and running out of money. the rest have to worry about losing their constitutional rights and many of them are gone. one group of americans has no worry at all about getting whatever they want. the homeless. in san francisco anyway, officials are putting up the homeless for free and city

hotels and supplying them with free alcohol, drugs, and nicotine. why are they doing this? thanks so much for coming on. i can't think of a clearer signal to taxpayers, citizens, people trying to do the right things that we just hate you and are spending all of our time on people who aren't contributing. i mean honestly. why would they be giving the homeless free stuff? >> it's not just that, the worst part is that we are taking a very vulnerable population and feeding their addiction. and we are not using tax dollars to do that, which begs the question where is this money coming from? if the reason we are not using taxpayer dollars is because it would otherwise not be legal to do? the idea that the government for the good of the many, it's

immoral. debated over years, it's unconstitutional. very un-american for that matter, by federal standards illegal which probably explains why some of the hotels as you read in the los angeles area are refusing to participate. >> tucker: so the los angeles city council, i know you are from northern san francisco, has threatened to commandeer hotels that don't want to become homeless shelters. just at the level of concern -- right, i am for helping the homeless. so many need actual help, they don't need to live on the sidewalk. but all the concern seems to be for the homeless, but about people who are trying really hard to do well for their kids and make society better? they are totally ignored. why question mike >> that's right, especially with the food shortage, we should be feeding their stomachs, not their addictions. i guess they feel as though we can fend for ourselves, i think

the real concern here by the department of health is to give them a little bit of credit, they don't want to spread the covid disease. some of these homeless people that are getting methadone, marijuana, alcohol, some of them are not even covid positive but what they are trying to do is force them into self-isolation by feeding these addictions. there is something wrong about that, these are people that are not legally detained. the city is saying no, we want to make sure you don't poison other people and we will feed your addictions to make sure you stay there. there's something very cruel about that, and the fact that we are not taking care of the rest of this city and feeding some of the hungry people and not focusing on the hunger issues is very troubling. >> tucker: i love san francisco, and i wanted to thrive but i'm worried the only

people left will be the homeless. i hope i'm wrong. great to see you, thank you. over the last three months, no american has had more trust placed in him then at dr. tony fauci. has his performance justified america's confidence? we will assess that, after the break.

a new moment in wireless has begun. t-mobile and sprint are joining forces. by bringing together our two networks, t-mobile will build america's largest and most reliable 5g network... with more towers, more engineers, and more coverage. you'll get the best 5g network, and the best prices. welcome to t-mobile. america's largest 5g network. >> tucker: well, in her zeal to be named joe biden's vice presidential nominee,

governor gretchen whitmer of michigan and people in her state from traveling between two of their own properties. friends off areas of selling items she deemed unnecessary like carpet and paint, she's an expert. now gretchen whitmer who is power drunk and mediocre has extended that states shutdown order past memorial day. he joins us tonight, thank you so much for coming on. so, what is the basis of this lawsuit? >> the basis is that a governor has decided to bulldoze the constitutional rights we all have. for example, going across the state to visit your grandchildren is prohibited. but it can be changed, because she is making a law that allows her to override the legislature, rewrite court decisions and dial-up and dial back her orders depending on what she feels is keeping us safe.

so, any rights we had can be adjusted by the governor on a week to week basis which he has done in some areas. even the right to go get medical care is limited. your ability to go up north to your house, your ability to shop for certain things. she closed off parts of stories because it was not appropriate to shop for paint for your house for example. >> tucker: you can always get an abortion, but you can't get a hipper placement. she's an idiot. >> i needed knee replacement, i couldn't get a consultation for health care but you could get an abortion, you could get alcohol but you couldn't get, go through your list. she was making unilateral decisions that most of us rely on the court system to do for us. she continued that through memorial day. >> tucker: did anybody, any democrat in the state to say i may support gretchen whitmer, i am all in on her ideas but she doesn't get to know if i the

constitution of the united states because she is not god. >> one democrat in detroit said things about president trump because of hydroxychloroquine, she's a democrat state rep that has been very positive of the governor, she is now being primary. she has been think should buy the democrats in state legislature, how dare she say something positive about something that the president did that saved her life. not exactly been helpful. 75 years ago, americans of celebrated efforts to preserve liberty in europe because we thought it was dear to us. now we have a governor running over our constitutional rights. >> tucker: this is directly related, not an ad hominem attack. she doesn't seem very capable, seems very mediocre to me. that can't be helpful in a crisis to have someone who is

not very smart and not looking at science. >> i think in a crisis, you have to take advice from our variety of sources. you have to listen to people who might not agree with you, you have to consider that. she has not been very willing to take advice from folks except what she thinks, and her ideas she will make a decision what it say for us to do, whatever we may choose to do in the state. that's more than over the edge of our constitution. >> tucker: because she is insecure, she knows she doesn't know what she's doing. insecure people don't want to know contrary opinions. congressman mitchell, great to see you tonight. >> take care. >> tucker: ever since january, dr. tony fauci has been the face of this response to the coronavirus. he is the head of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases, for more than 35 years so it makes sense to trust him. he's a perfectly nice person. but dr. fauci has said a lot

over the past four months, and he has helped emulate a lot of policies that have changed the country. dr. mcgarry is a professor of health at johns hopkins university. how would you assess dr. fauci's record so far? >> i agree, tucker, a very nice gentleman. he is a good laboratory virologist. but in terms of preparing the country, he missed it. he missed this one. for two months, from january to him we had our first case confirmed in the united states on u.s. soil, until march 15th with the country latching on to everywhere he says, he never once prepared this country with anything beyond simple hygiene and basic virology lessons. he's been on the media every day on every show, never once did we hear let's get ready with more ppe. let's build up our stockpiles, stop nonessential travel, get more swabs, build capacity with

testing. that was a big miss. i don't know whether or not to blame him, because we all make mistakes, or the entire country putting their faith in one doctor. >> tucker: one doctor who at times, seem serious but other times seems frivolous. he gave an interview in which he was asked is it okay to get with strangers you meet online? he said it's up to you on judgment, almost the same week he said don't shake hands with anybody, we can't have anymore sporting sporting events. so it's okay to be with strangers you meet online, not okay to shake hands? maybe he's not a serious as he to the map we thought he was. >> he has said several times this is not something the american public should worry about. he is advising the white house almost every day, and for a long time everybody looked at him at the top authority in infectious diseases in the country. governor cuomo said we don't do

as governors pandemics, where are all the experts? i wish somebody would have stood up and blew the bugle could i agree with the governor. we need some leadership, when we put our entire faith in one doctor that is the problem. >> tucker: it seems a very political man, he has to be a ruthless political operator. it just seems like it would be hard to get rid of tony fauci since he is such a relentless media presence. how conscious is he of the media game? >> remember, he served six presidents and one thing i hear which i can't believe i hear sometimes is oh, he was afraid of getting fired which is why he didn't say anything. anyone who knows how government works know if the president cannot fire him, no one can fire him. he is a career employee, you have to give him a three months notice and have cause. you can't fire him, that's why he didn't say anything.

>> tucker: federal employees are statistically more likely to die on the job than they are to be fired. so yeah, you're right. dr. mcgarry, thank you so much. great to see you. florida has far more older people by new york state does, but far fewer deaths from coronavirus. that should tell you something. what did florida do right that new york did wrong? we will explain that next. plus there is new evidence in the tara reade case for allegations against joe biden. we will assess it, just ahead. itching for a treat. itching for an outing... or itching for some cuddle time. but you may not know when he's itching for help... licking for help... or rubbing for help.

if your dog does these frequently. they may be signs of an allergic skin condition that needs treatment. don't wait. talk to your veterinarian and learn more at itchingforhelp.com.

>> tucker: new york state has a far more deaths from coronavirus than any other place in america. one major reason for that is that the states nursing homes were devastated. not by accident, but because of policy. florida has more people than new york, far more elderly people. it hasn't been hit nearly as hard. last night on laura's stroke, governor ron desantis of florida described his estate strategy. >> we focused on where the greatest risk was, that was tooth i will elderly population but particularly our elderly in long-term care facilities, so we acted very early to suspend visitation there, make sure all the staff were screened before they went in. florida, 60% of the deaths are 75 and up. let's devote resources that help those folks who are the most vulnerable. >> tucker: so what is florida doing that new york isn't doing? it's a question we hope to explore in the coming months, it would be nice to learn something from this disaster. in the meantime, we are joined

as we very often are, always happy to be by dr. marc siegel. i doctor. >> hi, tucker. 4800 deaths in new york nursing homes, new york state nursing homes. governor cuomo is very worried about his mom and taking care of her, tonight's theme is less worry about other elderly people besides our parents. 4800 deaths in new york nursing homes is three times the amount of deaths from covid-19 in the entire state of florida. and i'll tell you why, because in florida governor desantis is right. down in florida, the nursing homes look totally different. i talked to the head administrator of lakeview nursing home care center in palm beach county florida, you can see there that the people are smiling, they are kind, they are friendly, wearing personal protective equipment. if someone gets covid-19, they alert the hospital, they talk to

infectious disease experts, they alert the family, they isolate the patient. there's one specific person i want to talk about in the nursing home. she's 91, she is a holocaust survivor. her son is my father's cardiologist. we talked about how he saved my father's life from covid-19. two days ago, he saved my father's life from a soaring blood pressure. and you know what he told me? i'm worried about his mom tonight, because he is worried about my father. his mom is safe in the lakeview care center. let's listen to what the administrator had to say about the place. >> we take temperature prior to entering building, we are wearing protective equipment. >> we have to learn from this, tucker. here in new york, we have to learn from this. we are sending people back to nursing homes, the governor is

allowing it, who have over 19, who have the diagnosis, who aren't better and they are infecting the rest of the nursing home like kindling. we need that policy that they have in florida. thank god for governor desantis, godspeed to ida seltzer and her son who saved my father's life a second time. tucker. if you want a man a great story. have a great weekend, we will see you soon. twice this week we brought you updates on our reads to the the tara reade's allegations against joe biden. those who believe tara reade and fink joe biden shall leave the presidential race, then those who believe that he did relate a young woman with his fingers against her will, and still proudly plan to fight to be for him anyway. and finally, there are those

pretending the whole thing doesn't exist. at last group includes the entire leadership of the democratic party. we happen to be in a fourth category here, skeptical but committed to finding out what actually happened. that's our job. so tonight, new fact in the case. in 1996, she got a restraining order against the man she was getting married to. in response to this restraining order filed with a court in california, refers to a "problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment in u.s. senator joe biden's office." according to the account, "it was obvious that this event had a very dramatic affect on reade and she is still sensitive and affected by it today." didn't mention a sexual assault, and didn't accuse joe biden personally. the document does establish that as far back as 24 years ago, tara reade told others that she was traumatized by something

that happened in joe biden's senate office in washington. judge for yourself what it means, but it does seem significant. we will keep you updated as we learn more. even if tara reade's allegations turn out to be false, assuming we ever know for certain, joe biden's campaign has a lot of other problems. we will take you through his disastrous virtual valley. you really have to see the video, great way to end the week. we'll be right back every financial plan needs a cfp® professional --

confident financial plans, calming financial plans, complete financial plans. they're all possible with a cfp® professional. find yours at letsmakeaplan.org.

>> tucker: well, the chinese coronavirus pandemic has kept joe biden off the campaign trail, that is ideal as far as people who would vote for him are concerned. the biden campaign does have to peprovide a proof of life. last night, he held a virtual rally for supporters in tampa, of course he never left delawa delaware. it wouldn't badly, to say the least. she joins us with more, high lisa. >> hi, tucker. it's safe to say it wasn't a smashing success. as you know, president trump has been going after joe biden saying that he is hiding in the basement, he's even offered to send covid tests so that joe biden can leave his baseme basement. he's also received criticism from people like david axelrod saying that he needs to modernize his campaign, worried that he does look like a

candidate that is consigned to his basement. so as you pointed out, he tried to do that. tried to modernize his campaign, tried to do this virtual town hall. they had some technical problems. watch this. >> in my own? good evening. think you for tuning in. i wish we could have done this together and it had gone smoothly, but i am grateful we are able to connect virtually. thank you for the work. >> tucker: i am seeing flashbacks, that rattled me. >> it was funny, because vice has an article that said that this looks like it was being run by local seniors trying to put on their first zoom meeting. that wasn't it.

watch this. >> we can come out the other -- -- so much closer, more resilient than we have ever been before. god bless you all, may god protect you. >> tucker: i feel like i'm watching a fish show! >> so with the technical glitches, you had that tripping bird in the background. doing a better job than protesters, but it wasn't a smashing success by any means. what is interesting, tucker, because of the coronavirus campaigning this election cycle could look different. campaigns will probably be forced to modernize, go digital. that will be challenging for a campaign, you can't even put on a virtual town hall for a guy that did a bus tour called the no malarkey tour.

malarkey was cool in the 1920s, compare that with the trump campaign who has put a digital emphasis on our campaign by virtue of tapping bra brad parscale to be campaign manager. joe biden's campaign has been criticized previously for really running this antiquated, old-fashioned campaign to have to modernize to a new era of campaigning. see when it's a little weird though, because the democratic party if the party of silicon valley and hollywood, ty have always been very good at advertising and coming up with slick, tech based information campaigns. what is that? do you know? >> when we saw that with obama, but not so much with joe biden. hillary clinton's campaign didn't do a good job as the term campaign. they really emphasized that digital. how it

plays out. joe biden is trying to create a little bit of buzz, but doing it with crossword puzzles so you text a number and they cros senu a crossword puzzle to get to know him. they are trying to, but it's not hip and cool and modernize. i think it will be a fascinating election. >> tucker: are they incorporating shuffleboard or mah-jongg into this? >> not that you know, you might have given some ideas if they are watching. >> tucker: they totally should, and do a quick. all-you-can-eat buffet starts at 4:15. lisa boothe, you just rattled me. i am ready for the weekend now, great to see you. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: have a great weekend. we hope you have a great weekend. say this every friday, but it's

always heartfelt with the ones you love. we will see you back monday. sean hannity takes over next tonight. we too welcome to hannity, we wrap up what has been a historic week for truth and justice. finally it has come in this country, and you only the beginning. the russia collusion hoax has been brought to its knees and we have much more that will be coming in the days, weeks, months to follow. that i can assure you. the congenital liar, everything i've been telling you about him is true. he is now facing public embarrassment, he may just not know it yet. lieutenant general michael flynn has been exonerated, by the
