new orleans to that church. thank you, raymond, that is the story for thursday. thank you, may 21, 2020. we will see you tomorrow night. tucker is up next. have a good night, everybody. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it has now been 63 days, keeping track since california became the first american state to issue a so-called shelter-in-place order for all citizens. governor gavin newsom's order the beginning of unprecedented mass quarantine to change the country forever. in many ways the united states hard to recognize compared to two months ago. two months from now it will be more different still. in fact years before we fully understand the effects of what the leaders have done in response to the coronavirus. certain to be battles how to interpret this moment many years

from now. possibly your children will hear one version of the story. the comfortable effects but by that point, shrubs and social media platforms with this information. tonight, what we can, we want to get on tape for the record some of what actually happened here. the first thing to remember, the leaders didn't simply revoke the country's constitutional rights one day from a cold start. they laid the groundwork first. they soften the position by sowing fear. on march 14, 1 among countless made former obama administration official told andy slavik predicted nine days from now america's largest cities and hospitals would be "overrun with cases." now he is not an epidemiologist but in fact a mckinsey consultant. but countless other subscribed experts backed him up. a huge number of americans, they told us will get infected with the coronavirus and a huge number would die. and i am the ugliest, most

desperate way, gasping for breath with tubes shoved down their throats. at the time the world health organization said a million americans will die this way. w.h.o. said the fatality rate of 3.4% is horrifying. it scared the hell out of the country. it scared the hell out of us. i think we repeated the numbers to you on this show. but they were totally wrong. we now know, thanks to widespread blood testing, the virus isn't that deadly. in an enormous percentage, mild symptoms or no symptoms at all asymptomatic. the death toll is a tiny fraction of what we were told it would be. one study in scotland the real death rate could be .04%. another miami-dade, florida, suggested .18%, los angeles .06% and in fact the highest figure we have been able to find with incredible blood test comes from spain and it produced a death rate of over 1%.

that is still far below what they told us it would be. at the time ambitious politicians understood instinctively americans were really scared. some did their best to heighten that fear. here is new york governor andrew cuomo telling the daily television audience that tens of thousands of americans would die unless the trump administration sent more ventilators. >> send me 400 ventilator's, really? what am i going to do with 400 ventilator is when i need 30,000? you picked the 26,000 people who are going to die because you only sent 400 ventilators. >> tucker: this is why it pays to use a little restraint in your public statements because as it turned out new york had more than enough ventilators, too many ventilators and some were never used. but he did not dwell on that, he blew right past that and subsequent weeks with vital importance of obeying his quarantine. cuomo lockdown was modeled on

the chinese government. their response to the coronavirus, which is odd if you think about it. who decided that following the example of the country responsible for unleashing the pandemic was somehow good public health? well, they all thought that. virtually all the leaders agreed the chinese force was only for spirit dr. anthony fauci came on fox business and explained actually the chinese government could not be trusted. >> china has been known to fiddle with their stats before. do you trust what they are telling us about this illness? >> from what i can see right now, they are being much, much more transparent than what happened with sars. where they really kept back information for a while. it was embarrassing to them. they are really transparent now. they put the sequence of the virus on a public database right away. in that respect, they have been transparent. >> tucker: yeah when you think of the chinese communist party

transparent is the word that comes to mind. even then when dr. fauci said this, real questions about the wisdom of following the chinese model. though overtime theory views began to disappear with twitter, youtube and facebook. in their place the media presented hard political activist, people like because of manual and allowed to pose as experts on virus mitigations. >> realistically covid-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. we will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications. all that economic pain trying to stop covid-19. the truth is, we have no choice. >> tucker: the truth is, we have no choice. get a pen and right now that sentence for future reference, and the next time you hear someone say it, run. the truth is we have no choice. when you hear that you know things are to get much worse.

in fact, we always have a choice, handful of political leaders make that choice and they decided to try a different approach and immediately in unison they were denounced as enemies of the state. when georgia began to reopen some of its businesses and the "atlantic" magazine despite that plan "george's experiment in human sacrifice. "and jeff bezos, georgia leads the race to become america's number one death destination. as if jack kevorkian had become the governor in georgia. that was just in print and on television the geniuses decided to relax the lockdown could be far worse than the march to the sea. >> this makes no sense and it doesn't improve our economy but puts more georgians at risk. >> tucker: if that sounds insane to you, you are not alone. players in georgia or describing the governor's decision is reckless, dangerous and illogical.

georgia may be doing too much to sue. >> right now it is the blind leading the blind and no -- the governor has decided to open it all up. we all think that is a responsible. >> no matter what anybody tells you. no matter how many hopeful signs there may be, it is far too early to let down our guard. it is far too early to go back to the lives we were living last month. if that shocks you, it should. >> tucker: some day, that will be off of the internet. that is a shame. there was don leman and george is an incredibly dangerous place and have no effect. imagine if don lamont was forced to watch cnn in an airport, maybe you are heading to atlanta. you you would be rattled by that. and rattling you is the exact point of saying it. stop thinking obey here that was the message amplified day after day after day by cnn.

watch this cnn anchor a month ago remind his audience that staying locked indoors was the moral duty. >> the only thing that has checked this contagion is our collective conscious to stay home together as ever as one. >> we know that is our true power, but the question is, when will it really be put to this test? >> tucker: the one thing you never saw from these people, these journalist was a straightforward discussion about whether or not lockdowns actually work. you would think that would be the first thing they talked about but they didn't want to. hundreds of millions of people order to stay at home and only go outside for essential reasons is forcing people to live like that doesn't really contain a virus? there are a lot of reasons eckley to believe it does not contain a virus. forcing people into close quarters all day obviously increases the odds of affected family members and the biggest of the show closing every

business except grocery stores forces people into a small space. is that a good idea? there are a lot of potential problems. we don't know all of the answers. someday we will have a better understanding of the science. we should have had it before we proposed it. here is what you need to know and what they will not tell you. as of tonight, precisely no evidence that the lockdowns in america save lives anywhere. in fact, mass quarantine can kill people. researchers at jpmorgan compare the coronavirus infection rates of all 50 u.s. states and many european countries before and after the mass quarantine. overall, ending the lockdown was associated with a slower spread of the virus. did you hear that? ending the lockdowns slowed the spread of the virus. >> and not received a lot of attention and you shouldn't be

surprised by that and more than any other governor in the country, south dakota refused to use the coronavirus pandemic to enhance her personal powers. for that she was vilified in the national press. she was treated like a mass murder. april, "the washington post" wrote, resisting ordering people to stay home. now it has one of the nations hot spots. meanwhile, the obedient states with the entire population got round of applause with the american media, the very next day "the new york times" in california by contrast this way "california set the tone on coronavirus shutdowns. what is its next move? the next message is unmistakable. use i see it all the time, california saving its people and it was plunging its state into calamity. so that was more than five weeks ago. how did things turn out in the end? have you seen a follow-up story?

probably not. here are the facts. as of today five per 100,000 people have died of the coronavirus. in california, the death toll is 8.4 per 100,000, 64% higher. that does not prove lockdowns kill people but it does suggest it doesn't work well. even though millions of americans are living suffocating entered continued lockdown. the state's economy crushed with no class people, barred from going to work, they can't go on the dry sand in los angeles from their lunatic mayor. you can laugh about this because it is stupid, but for millions of healthy people at virtually no risk from dying of the virus, the lockdowns with life-changing disasters. early in the pandemic the president of the united states made that point, innate intemperate response even if it mitigates the virus itself could wind up killing a lot of people. here is what he said. >> people get tremendous anxiety and depression. you have suicides over things

like this when you have terrible economies. you have death. >> tucker: and other words, bad economies don't just make people poor, they killed them. that is obviously true. and if the associated press the most trusted brand raced in without a correction "president donald trump is making a baseless claim of searching suicides of the u.s. economy remain shut during the coronavirus. and suicides tend to diminish society pulls together a common purpose. as if the government locking you in your own home for two months, taking the job, depriving of human contact was comparable to the second world war, and the people who made these orders went to the weekend houses in aspen and ignore the terms of their own orders and got their hair done. "the washington post" wrote this

quote, the coronavirus pandemic is pushing america into a mental health crisis. of course it is. called the hotline and it has gone up 1000%. the heart of the opioid epidemic with a surge of overdoses compared to last year. by the way the state of new jersey, the governor stopped aa meetings. you are not allowed to go to your aa meeting but kept liquor stores open. okay, how do you think that worked out? not well. but don't worry president trump is making a baseless claim at this point to people's mental health. there is more. we could go on for days. the cdc warned the coronavirus might survive for a prolonged period, gloves and the elevator? millions of americans were panicked by this. they wiped out everything they touched. they refuse to out food, but there groceries and mail long quarantine so maybe you did that. we are not mocking you for that. they told you to do that. now the cdc has new guidance. the coronavirus "does not spread easily on surfaces."

okay. so where are we now? what is the result of this? it is not totally clear but here is what we know. tonight for 50 years, america steadily shifted manufacturing jobs abroad appear those jobs have provided stability to millions. and replaced often by low-wage low benefit jobs. people serving an ever shrinking number of very rich people in finance. a lot of them getting checks from the government. that is the new economy. the new economy has been destroyed by these lockdowns. in the age of coronavirus, tens of billions of service jobs have gone away. many will not return. only manufacturing is left, but here is the catch. the manufacturers are all in chinatown. in other words, china won. so no matter what they tell you in the coming years, that is what happens. that is what actually happens. remember, david wrote an amazing piece in "the new york post" calling for an end to the city lockdown. we are happy to have him on

tonight. david marcus, thank you for coming on tonight. if you were to summarize why you wrote this piece and why you think these lockdowns told day after day were so important should end? >> i wrote this piece this weekend when i saw images of new yorkers about 4:30 in the morning hours before this catholic church opened offering food. because they were hungry and they needed food. and when i saw those images is really when i went from being frustrated with governor cuomo and mayor de blasio to being furious because people are going hungry, small businesses are being destroyed, jobs are evaporating. our kids are not being educated. people can't get cancer screenings and the governor sits there on his tv show every day and acts as if what we are complaining about is if there is nothing on netflix. it is bizarre and infuriating. >> tucker: why do you think

someone has ambitious as andrew cuomo, ambitious politicians tend to pay attention to what the public want commercial completely tone-deaf oblivious to the suffering the pointless suffering? why doesn't he get it? >> i don't think people have much of a voice right now. first of all, they are stuck at home. but i think andrew cuomo is in a situation where it's become abundantly clear that he bungled this particularly in regards to the nursing homes and deadly ways. and i'm sure that he is very, very nervous about making enormous mistakes. that is not good enough. we need leadership because the city of new york is dying. and it has to open now or we will not be able to save it. >> tucker: from friends and family and coworkers who live in new york, you get reports of midtown basically occupied only by vagrants. that is it. every public space taken over by mentally ill drug addicts. i wonder if a city like that,

what would it take to bring a city like that back to function? >> welcome of the problem is every hour that goes by bringing the city back becomes harder and harder because every day, another business owner realizes whatever that capital is that what is now two months. he hasn't had another month or another two months of rent. you can do ppe, and i understand bill de blasio thinks there is some giant pot of gold somewhere that republican leprechauns are hiding, but there isn't. the only way the city gets back to work is by getting back to work. it is the only way creates the funds needed to do all the things the city and the people in the city need to do. right now, do you have any indication of when this really ends? either coo ♪ ♪ or they palacios said anything to make you think, in august, this will be back to normal. i haven't. be one the city been through so

much, so much over a couple of centuries, several centuries. this really feels like this man made disaster could set it back more than anything that has ever happened. >> i'm very worried about it. this is very different than 9/11. this has arguably much more similar to the sort of battle days of the late 70s and 80s that rudy giuliani was able to bring the city out of. but you are absolutely right. it is meant these neighborhoods supposedly come back to life, 40, 50% of the businesses are gone and people don't have jobs. yeah, see, here is the thing. this has been economically painful so far. it really has. we are really close to it becoming an absolute economic catastrophe. and i have absolutely no confidence that either the governor or the mayor appreciate that fact at all. in fact, i'm pretty sure they don't. >> tucker: at some point to long after i'm dead, somebody

smart has to write a book explaining how such a great country got wearable leaders, which really is the beginning and the end. bad leadership produces terrible results. david, thank you so much for coming on tonight. what a great piece that was in your explanation. i thought you summed it up perfectly come appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: over time increasingly lockdowns and rules are an exercise in arbitrary power. they are not thoughtful considerations about what key people say. larry and daniel operate sunset beach gift shop and they closed their store in response to the coronavirus pier they want to do the right thing, but taking a close look at the regulations, they realized since they sold the essential goods, they can reopen so they did reopen. the response to reopening? they were a threat with the rest by police. larry and dan hume join us tonight. gentlemen thank you very much for joining us tonight. so i will throw a question and

let you jump in as you will. why did you think you were within the law to reopen? >> we are privileged to be here in north carolina. >> tucker: when it said cape may north carolina i thought -- wholly dependent on tourism. so why did you think you could get around governor murphy shut down? >> tucker, for our part, the main gift shop at sunset beach, 25% of essential products. in fact, we thought we were obeying the law, selling 25% of the central products. we actually have only sold essential products, and according to the governor's own executive order issued by businesses being allowed to remain open, he said any

businesses that sell food are considered essential. so that was a reason for opening back up. >> tucker: so what happened when you did? >> we were basically told that we didn't meet the cut. there hasn't been a follow-up yet. we are working on that. we are seeking interpretation, a better explanation because right now it just seems that the governor is picking winners and losers. i don't know if we are primarily a retail and gift store that we don't get to earn a paycheck, i don't know. that is really a question for the governor, the ag. >> tucker: does it strike you as strange as new jersey is circling the drain? he's taking time out of his busy schedule to threaten the rest? why do you think he is doing

that? >> my honest opinion, tucker, is that it is a continuing of the hollowing out of the average american. we aren't to corporate business. we aren't a big box store. so i guess we can apply for one of the jobs program. >> tucker: yeah, do you think really quick, he's a former goldman sachs partner, do you think he treats goldman sachs this way? >> not at all. >> tucker: yeah. he's threatening the goldman guys. i'm just guessing larry and dan. i have a feeling goldman sachs is essential in new jersey. gentlemen, thank you for coming on tonight, godspeed to. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: as we told you a couple of times on the show because it really is a scandal of the season, many thousands died because of the way andrew cuomo mismanage new york state's nursing homes. one of the people affected by this in the saddest way is our

own janice beam. she lost both of her in-laws inside of the nursing home in new york, and she joins us next but that story. stay tuned long days in the plant, or late nights stocking shelves doing all we can to get you the milk you need. we hope it makes your breakfast a little brighter. your snacks more nutritious. and reminds you when it comes to caring, there is no expiration date. milk. love what's real.

♪ >> tucker: new york has by far the country's highest death toll from the coronavirus, more than 5600 of those dead were in nursing homes. probably a number of reasons for that, but one of them was government policy. the policy of andrew cuomo with its required those nursing homes to admit patients who tested positive for the virus. it was insane. andrew cuomo has not been asked much about it. he did appear on cn and yesterday. the interview went as you would imagine giving the interviewer was his brother. >> is it true that this was a swab that the nurse was actually using on you, and then at first, it meant into your nose and disappeared so that in scale, this was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that

double barrel shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face? >> yeah, pretty amusing. >> tucker: a little more political theater for you. in fact about 5,000 people died. this policy was at the center of that. this was an actual scandal. and you should know more about it. boxing your meteorologist unfortunately knows an awful lot about it. both of her in-laws, both of her husband's parents died recently of the coronavirus while in new york nursing homes. janice joins us tonight, janice, thank you so much for coming on. you and i have talked a lot about this off-camera and you were very hesitant, but this seems like an important story, a national story and firsthand experience of it. so tell us if you would and if you can what happened. >> so my husband's parents were in assisted living.

his mom was in a assisted living and the plan was to have them both together. so his mom was in assisted living and a double room. we were planning to have mickey live with her. mickey had dementia and he had a few problems that he needed rehab. so he was in a nursing/rehab center and the plan was to have them together and shawn really wrestled with putting them in nursing homes and assisted living so this was a decision that you know, took place 6-8 months ago very recently after struggling for months wondering if this is the right move. and as you told your audience, we know longer have them here today. >> tucker: that has got to be the hardest decision middle-age people ever make, most of them, how to help and care for aging

parents who can't care for themselves. so this makes it all the more devastating. and i just have to ask you, how is your husband holding up after this? >> it is day by day, tucker. we weren't able to have a funeral for them or celebrate their life properly. that was very difficult from the normal weight that people would mourn. we didn't have that. he and his sister are recently cleaning out their apartment that they grew up in. that the parents lived in for over 60 years. they were married for 69 years. they had never been apart. his dad was a new york city firefighter and was in the u.s. air force. and these people are real people. they are not just numbers on a curve. >> tucker: no, they are not. and you believe, having covered it, that the policy decision, the governor's decision to allow or to prevent the exclusion of in fact the patients to live in

nursing homes contributed to this? >> i do and that's one of the reasons i'm speaking out, tucker. i have not seen the coverage of this. you have covered it, martha has covered and "the new york post" is covering it but the biggest pandemic of 2020. in 20% of our lost loved ones are from nursing homes. and it's because governor cuomo and several other governors, by the way in different states. >> tucker: yes. >> forced patients into nursing homes. i'm certain at least one of his parents, i believe his dad, before his dad died, week before his dad died, they called sean to tell him they were moving him to another floor. and i believe that floor was used for recovering covid patients. i can't prove that we can't get any confirmation on this and by the way, he didn't find out until the death certificate came in that he was covid.

he got a call on a saturday morning that his dad was not feeling well, and three hours later, he was dead. and his mom, two weeks later that covid and was rushed to the hospital, died in the hospital and her number will not be counted as a nursing home or assisted living home because of the governor a policy of saying that she died in the hospital, even though it was confirmed covid. >> tucker: so, i mean, that is clearly an effort to reduce the total of reported deaths in nursing homes. a way to cover himself. >> absolutely. and the fact that i am seeing last night him on another channel and making fun, inappropriate jokes and insensitive jokes, cruel jokes, make no mistake i am glad that chris cuomo has recovered from covid because he apparently did

have it. and i'm glad that their family as well, but my family is not well. and that is not something to joke about. the one and other viewers who know this, you were you are nota political person or in ever in public or private and for you did, janice, thank you. >> thank you, thank you for caring, tucker, thank you for caring. >> tucker: well, planned parenthood has many thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of tax dollars every year and yet, they were able to still collect 80 million more from taxpayers by posing as a small business. how did they do that? some lawmakers would like to know. we will bring you the update after the break. ♪

>> tucker: well, churches were closed across america but planned parenthood clinic stayed

open thanks to the politicians they paid off. abortions were infrastructure. and made that point explicitly. despite that advantage, they enjoyed over legitimate businesses, despite the fact that the national organization planned parenthood, thousands of employees, planned parenthood affiliates still collected $80 million from the federal government, money that was meant to assist small businesses. you first heard about that when they showed two nights ago. now 27 republican senators have asked the department of justice to investigate where that money was sent to planned parenthood in the first place. meanwhile, an interview last week, they celebrated the silver lining of the coronavirus. so are the young thanks to telemedicine. >> medication abortion is offered earlier in the gestational period and it really requires just two pills with a

24-hour period. in many cases, were able to see a patient with the expansion of telehealth, and take the patient's and then that patient will pick up the prescription and come home and take that medication safely at home. and actually a silver lining in this pandemic. >> tucker: silver lining. just when i you thought a professional couldn't get more coulis or antihuman, they do. an editor at town hall, happy to have her on tonight. thank you so much for coming on. how do you think planned parenthood, which again takes hundreds of millions of scholarships from taxpayers every year. the largest get out, and how are they posing as a small business and getting away with it? >> tucker, not only do they get 500 million plus dollars from taxpayers every year but they have 600 million plus dollars that come into the private donations every year, $2 billion

in assets and $2 billion in revenue with hundreds of millions of dollars left over for things like this. when you look at the details of the affiliates, dozens of them have applied for this, small business funding, the main umbrella organization planned parenthood is saying, well, we did not play as a big organization but the small organizations affiliated with the supply because they should be eligible given the small number of employees. so that is the way they are supplying it. the vice president of government welfare saying the fda which is asking the affiliates to give the money back, that the business' unrelenting attacks on abortion rights. but they also argue that these affiliates that the money was being used to save employee paychecks. well, if it was about saving employee paychecks, why is she making the argument that this is an attack on abortion rights? >> tucker: that is a very good point, but what you were saying,

it would be like if the apple store in georgetown or midtown manhattan applied for a small business loan on the grounds, they are a small business because and we have 80 employees? >> right. right. but then the apple headquarters in california did not apply because they have thousands of employees and lots of resources. but the planned parenthood action fund came out with a statement early on when the cares act first past and planned parenthood is not eligible for this. so the question that the senators have for the justice department to look into is whether or not these applications were made in a valid, nonfraudulent way. why is it some affiliates under planned parenthood should be receiving plenty of money from this massive organization were getting taxpayer money and will they be forced to give it back given the vast majority of resources that they have? >> tucker: that is exactly right. it does sound like fraud. i agree with you. katie, thank you for that.
