♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it has now been 63 days. we are keeping track, since california became the first american state to issue shelter in place for all citizens. gavin newsom's order was the beginning of an unprecedented mass quarantine that has changed the country forever. in many ways, the united states it's hard to recognize compared to just two months ago. two months from now it will be even more different still. in fact, it may be years before we fully understand the effects of what our leaders have done in response of the coronavirus. there are certain to be battles over how to interpret this moment many years from now. it is possible that your

children will hear only one version of this story. uncomfortable facts may have been scrubbed from social media platforms as misinformation. so tonight, what we can, we would like to get on tape for the record some of what happened here. the first thing to remember is that our leaders did not simply revoke the constitutional rights one day from a cold start. they laid the groundwork first. they softened opposition by showing fear. on march 14th, named one among countless possible examples. former obama health official andy slavik predicted that nine days from now, america's largest cities and hospitals would be "overrun with cases." now he is not an epidemiologist. in fact, he is a former mckinsey consultant. but the self-described experts on television back him up. a huge number of americans they told us would get infected with the coronavirus. and a huge number would die. and die in the ugliest most desperate way, gasping for breath with tubes shut down

their throats. now the time, the world health organization suggested that 1 million americans would die this way. the w.h.o. estimated that the case fatality rate of 3.4%. it is horrifying. it scared the hell out of the country. it scared the hell out of us. i think we repeated those numbers to you on the show. but they were totally wrong. we now know thanks to widespread blood testing that the virus isn't that deadly. an enormous percentage of infections proves that mild symptoms are no symptoms at all. they are a symptomatically to the death toll is a tiny fraction of what we were told it would be. one study in scotland estimated the real death rate could be .04%. another in miami, florida, suggested .18%. one in los angeles, .106%. the highest figure we have been able to find from a credible blood test study comes from spain. and it produced a death rate of just over 1%. that is still far below what

they told us it would be. at the time, ambitious politicians understood distinctly that americans were really scared. some did their best to heighten that fear. here is new york's governor andrew cuomo telling his daily television audience that tens of thousands of americans would die unless the trump administration sent more ventilators. >> we are sending 400 ventilators! really? what am i going to do with 400 ventilators? when i need 30,000? you pick the 26,000 people who are going to die because you only send 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, some were never even used. but cuomo did not dwell on that, he blew right past it and spent most of the week's discussing the vital importance of obeying his quarantine. his lockdown like most in the country was modeled on the chinese governments quarantine.

the response to the wuhan coronavirus, which is odd. 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 of our leaders agreed that the chinese course was the only course. dr. anthony fauci came on fox business to explain the actually the chinese government could be trusted. >> china has been known to fiddle with their stats before, do you trust what they are telling us about the illness? >> from what i can see right now, they really are being much, much more transparent then what happened with sars, where they cutback information for a while. it was embarrassing to them. they are really transparent now. they quickly put the sequence of the virus up on the database right away. so in that respect, they have been transparent. >> tucker: yet, because when you think of the chinese communist party, transparent as the first word that comes to

mind. even then when dr. fauci said that, there were some important and independent minded americans who had real questions about the wisdom of following the chinese model. but over time, their views began to disappear from twitter and youtube and facebook. in their place, the media present hit hard and political activists, people like zeke emanuel, and allowed them to pose as experts on virus mitigation. >> 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. it is all that economic pain worth trying to stop covid-19? the truth is, we have no choice. >> tucker: the truth is we have no choice. get a pen and write down that sentence for future reference. the next time you hear someone say it, run. the truth is we have no choice paid when you hear that, you know that things are about to get much worse. in fact, we always have a choi

choice. a handful of political leaders made that choice. they decided to try a different approach. and then immediately, and in unison they were denounced as enemies of the state. when georgia began to reopen some of its businesses in late april, the atlanta magazine described a plan as "georgia's experiment in human sacrifice." in the word of "the washington post" "georgia leads the race to become america's number one death destination." as if jack kevorkian had become the governor of georgia. and that was just imprint. on television, the geniuses decided that relaxing the lockdowns would be far worse for georgia than sherman's march to the sea. >> this makes no sense, and it does not improve the economy. it simply puts more georgians at risk. >> tucker: if that sounds insane to you, you are not alone. mayors in georgia are describing the governor's decision as reckless, dangerous, and illogical. >> georgia may be doing too much

to sue. >> right now it is the blind leading the blind. we have no idea what is happening in georgia from the case of rate, but the governor has decided to open it all up. we all think that is irresponsible. >> 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 that we were living just last month. and if that shocks you, it should. >> tucker: someday unfortunately that tape will be scrubbed off the internet. that is a shame. georgia is fine as it turns out. he was telling you georgia is an incredibly dangerous place. and it had an effect. imagine if you heard him say that while watching cnn waiting for a flight from an airport print maybe you are headed to atlanta. you will be rattled, of course he would be. and that was exactly the point of saying it. stop thinking, obey. that was the message. it was example pi day after day

after day by cnn. watch this cnn anchor a month ago remind his audience that staying locked indoors was their moral duty. >> the only thing that is tied to the contagion is our collective conscience to stay home. it together as ever as one. we know that as our true power, the question is, when will it really be put to this problem? >> tucker: the one thing you never saw from these people, these journalists, was a straightforward discussion about whether or not lockdowns actually work. you think that would be the first thing they would talk about. but they did not want to. hundreds of millions of people order to stay home, only go outside for a essential reasons. forcing people to live like that really containing a virus? there are a lot of reasons, actually to believe that it does not contain a virus. forcing people into close quarters all day, and increasing the odds of family members. because studies have shown. closing every business except for grocery stores and forces a

lot of 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 behind quarantines. we should have had it before we impose them. but for now, here is what you need to know and what they won't tell you. there is as of tonight precisely no evidence that the lockdowns in america saved the lives anywhere. in fact, it is possible that mass quarantines killed people. research at jpmorgan compared the coronavirus infection rates of all 50 u.s. states and many european countries before and after the mass quarantines. overall, ending the lockdowns was associated with a slower spread of the virus. did you hear that? ending the lockdowns slowed the spread of the virus. or was associated with the slower spread. amazing. for some reason that study has not received a lot of attention. maybe you should not be surprised by that. more than any other governor may

be in the country, south dakota governor refused to lock her stay down for it she refused to use the coronavirus pandemic to enhance her personal power spread for that she was vilified in the national press. i'm how treating her like a mass murderer. on april 13, they wrote this "out to quarters governor resisted ordering people to stay home. and now one of the nations largest hot spots." meanwhile the obedient states, the states that imprison their entire population got round of applause from the entire american media. the very next day, "the new york times" lauded california by contrast this way "california set the tone on coronavirus shutdowns, what's its next move." and the message is unmistakable. you saw it at the time, california was saving its people, right wing south dakota was plunging in-state into calamity. 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 per today, -- and california had the death toll is 8.4 per hundred thousand. that is 64% higher than south dakota. that does not prove that shutdowns kill people, it suggests that it does not work well. and millions of americans are living, suffocating under committed and continued lockdowns. crushed firm middle-class people, barred from going to work. they can't go into dry sand in los angeles. per 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 this virus, the lockdowns have been a life-changing disaster. early in the pandemic, the president of the united states made that point. any intemperance response to this pandemic, even if it mitigates the virus itself could wind up killing a lot of people. here's what he said. >> people get tremendous anxiety and depression, and you have suicides over things like this when you have terrible

economies. you have death. >> tucker: in other words, bad economies don't just make people poor, they kill people. and to the associated press, the most trusted brand of news raced in with a correction. "donald trump is making a baseless claim of surging suicides as the u.s. economy is shut during the spread of the coronavirus." then they added this "historically in a crisis, suicides tend to diminish as a society pulls together with a common purpose." as if the government locking you in your own home for two months, taking away your job, depriving you of human contact, was comparable to the second world war. a common purpose. that's the exact opposite of what it was. people went to their weekend houses in aspen and ignored the terms of their own orders. they got their hair done. a month later "the washington post" wrote this" the coronavirus pandemic is pushing america into a mental health crisis."

well, of course it is. calls to the emotional distress hotline have gone up 1000%. across america county's, the heart of the opioid epidemic, a surge in overdoses compared to last year. in a state of new jersey, for example, the governor stopped aa meetings. you are not allowed to go to your aa group, but he kept liquor stores open. okay. how do you think that worked out? not well. but don't worry, the ap reassures us that president trump is making a baseless claim that this might affect people's mental health. and we could go on for days. in march, the cdc warned that coronavirus might survive for a long period on exposed surfaces. remember that? loves in the elevator? millions of americans were panicked, why wouldn't they be. they wipe down everything they touch. they refuse to take outcome of they pushed her groceries into mail before opening them. maybe you did that. we are not mocking you, they told you to. now the cdc has a has new guidance. coronavirus "does not spread easily on surfaces." okay. so where we now?

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

if you are to summarize for us why you wrote the piece and why you think these lockdowns, which we were told are 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 the catholic church opened that was offering food, because they were hungry and they needed food. and when i saw those images is really when i went frustrated from mayor cuomo and de blasio to being furious. because people are going hungry. small businesses are being destroyed. jobs are evaporating. our kids aren't 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 that there is nothing to watch on netflix. it is bizarre and infuriating. >> tucker: why do you think someone as ambitious as andrew cuomo, ambitious politicians tend to pay

attention to what the public wants, are so completely tone-deaf, oblivious to the suffering, the pointless suffering of the population? 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 also in a situation where it has become abundantly clear that he bungled this, particularly in regards of the nursing homes in deadly ways. and i'm sure that he is very, very nervous about making any more mistakes. but that is not good enough. we need leadership, because the city of new york is dying. and it has to open now, or we are not going to be able to save it. >> tucker: so, from friends and family and coworkers who live in new york, you get reports of midtown basically occupied only by vagrants. like that is it. just every public space has been 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?

>> the problem is that every hour that goes by, bringing the city back becomes harder and harder. because every day there is another business owner who realizes that he has run out of whatever that capital is that he had to keep him floating for what is now two months. he does not have another month. he does not have another two months of rent. and you can do a pp, and i understand that bill de blasio thinks that there is some kind of giant pot of gold somewhere that evil republican leprechauns are hiding from him, but there isn't. the only way that the city gets back to work is by getting back to work. it's the only way that it creates the funds that are needed to do all of the things that the city and the people in the city need to do. and right now, do you have any indication of when this really ends? have either cuomo or de blasio said anything that makes you think, oh, and august, this will be somewhat back to normal? i haven't. >> tucker: the city has been through so much. you know, so much over a couple

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

a book explaining how such a great country got such horrible leaders. which really is the beginning and the end of the story. bad leadership produces terrible result. david, thank you so much for coming on tonight proud what a great piece that was and your explanation summed it up purposely. we appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: over time it has become obvious that the lockdown specific roles are an exercise in arbitrary power. they are not thoughtful considerations about would keep people safe. larry and dan hume operate sunset beach gift shop in north carolina coming in initially close their story and response to the coronavirus. they wanted to do the right thing. taking a close look at the state's regulations, they realized that since they sold essential goods, they could reopen. and they did. the response to reopening, they were threatened with arrest by police. larry and dan hume join us tonight. gentlemen, thank you very much for coming on tonight. i'm just going to throw a question and let you jump in as he will. why did you think you were

within the law to reopen? >> first, tucker, thank you for having us on trade we are privileged to be here. and it is new jersey, not north carolina. >> tucker: when it said cape may, north carolina, i thought, they are probably mistaken. i wholly dependent on tourists. so why did you think that you could get around governor murphy shut down? >> well, tucker, for our part, we sell in our main gift shop at sunset beach, 25% essential products. we thought, and in fact we were obeying the law selling 25% essential products. >> we actually have always sold essential products, and according to the governor's own executive order that he issued about businesses being allowed to remain open, he said any businesses that sell food are

considered essential. so that was our reasoning for opening back up. >> tucker: what happened when you did? >> we were basically told that we did not meet the cut. it was not -- there has not been a follow-up yet. we are working on that. we are seeking an interpretation, a better explanation. because right now it just seems that it's the governor's picking winners and losers. i don't know if it is because we are primarily a retail, gift store that we don't get to earn a paycheck or provide for families? i don't know. that is a question for the governor, the ag. >> tucker: does it cite to you as strange as new jersey is circling the drain, he is taking time out of his busy schedule to threaten you with arrest? 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 a corporate business. we aren't a big box store. so i guess we can apply for one of his jobs programs. >> tucker: out. do you think really quick, he is a former goldman sachs partner, do you think that he would treat goldman sachs this way? >> not at all. >> tucker: yeah. yeah. he is threatening the goldman guys, i'm just guessing, larry, dan could i have a feeling goldman sachs is essential in new jersey. gentlemen, thank you so much for coming on tonight. godspeed. >> thank you, tucker. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: as we told you a couple of times on the show, because it really is the signature of scandal of the season. many thousands died because of the way andrew cuomo mismanaged new york state's nursing homes. one of the people affected by this in the saddest way is our

own janice dean. she lost both of her in-laws inside the nursing home in new york. she joins us next with that story. stay tuned.

♪ >> 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. a policy of andrew cuomo, which requires those nursing homes to admit patients who had tested positive for the virus. it was insane. governor cuomo has not been asked much about it. he did appear on cnn yesterday. the interview probably went as he would imagine, given that the interviewer was his brother. >> is it true that this was the swap that thehi nurse was actuay using on you, and that at first it went 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? >> tucker: yeah, pretty amusing. a little more political theater for you. in fact, about 5,000 people died. this policy was at the center of that. p this is an actual scandal. and you should know more about it. fox senior meteorologist janice dean unfortunately knows an awful lot about it. both of her in-laws, both of her husband's parents died recently of thews coronavirus while in c new york nursing home spread janice dean joins us tonight. janice, thank you so much for coming on. we have talked a lot about this off, but you were hesitant come on. but it seems like a very important story. and you have first-hand experience of it. if so tell us if you would and you can what happened. >> so my husband's parents were in assisted living. his mom was in an assisted living facility put his dad was

in a nursing home. and the plan was to have them both together. so his mom was in assisted living in 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. w and the plan was to have them together.e and sean really wrestled with putting them in nursing homes and assisted living. so this was a decision that took place six, eight months ago. very recently after struggling for months wondering if this was the right move. and as you have told your audience, we know longer have them here today. >> tucker: and that has to be the hardest decision that middle-age people ever make, most of them. you know, how to help and get care, for aging parents who cant care for themselves.

so this makes it all the more devastating. i just have to ask you, how is your husband holding up? >> it is day by day, tucker. we weren't able to have a funeral for them or celebrate futheir life properly. that was very difficult, in the normal way that normal people would mourn. we did not have that. he and his sister are recently cleaning out there apartment that they grew up in. that his 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 infected patients from nursing

homes contributed to this? >> i do. and that is one of the reasons why i'm speaking out, tucker. i have not seen the coverage of this. you have covered it. martha has covered it. in "the new york post" has covered it. they should be one of the biggest stories of this pandem pandemic. 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 forced covid recovering patients into nursing homes. and i am certain, at least one of his parents, i believe his dad, before his dad died. a week before they called sean to tell him they were moving him to another for. and i believe that floor was accused for recovering covid patients. i can't prove that. we can't get any confirmation ov any of this. and by the way, he did not 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 heis was dead. and his mom, two weeks later got covid and was rushed to the hospital, died in the hospital, and her number will not be counted as a nursing home or in assisted living home, because of the governor's policy of saying that she died in the hospital, even though it was confirmed t covid. >> tucker: so, i mean, that is clearly in 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 making fun, inappropriate jokes, insensitive jokes, cruel jokes, make no mistake, i am really glad that chris cuomo has recovered from covid, because he apparently did have it. and i'm glad that their family

is well, but my family is not well. and that is not something to joke about. >> tucker: no, it is not. and i should say, and i know that our viewers who know you know this, you are not a political person. you are not someone who makes political statements ever in private or public. and for you too come on to discuss this took a lot and we are grateful that you did. janice dean, thank you. >> thank you, thank you for caring, tucker. >> tucker: planned parenthood has many thousands of employees. they get hundreds of millions of tax dollars every year, yet they were still able to collect 80 million more from taxpayers by posing as a small business put how did they do that? some lawmakers would like tosi know. we will bring you the update after the break. ♪

>> tucker: well, churches were closed across america but planned parenthood clinic facebook.com/seanhannity churches were closed across america, but planned parenthood

clinics stayed open thanks to the politicians they paid off. abortions were critical infrastructure in the view of so many governors. gretchen whitmer made that distinction publicly. despite the dash despite the fact that the national organization of planned parenthood, thousands of employees, planned parenthood affiliates still collected $80,000 on the federal government. miney that was meant to assist small businesses. they first heard about that onl this show two nights ago.d now 27 republican senators have asked the department of justice to investigate why that money was sent to planned parenthood in the first place. meanwhile an interview last week, planned parenthood's ceo, not only the old dying, but so are the young things to more telemedicinee abortions. >> medication abortion is offeredor earlier in the gestational period, and it really requires just two pills that the person taking the abortion would take within a

24-hour period. in many cases, we are able to see a patient now with the expansion ofca telehealth, via skype like this, and take the patient. and then we drive and that patient will come and pick up the prescription and go home and take that medication safely at home. it is actually the silver lining in this pandemic. >> tucker: silver lining, just when you thought the professional class could not get more ghoulish or antihuman, they do. katie pavlich is an editor at town hall, happy to have her ona tonight. thank you so much for coming on put how do you think planned parenthood, which again, takes hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers every year, the largest get out the vote information that the democrats have, how are they posing as a small business and getting away with it? >> not only do they get 500 million plus dollars from taxpayers, they also have 600 million plus dollars that comes in from private donations every year. $2 billion in assets, and

$2 billion in revenue with hundreds of billions of dollars left over for things like this. and when you look at the details of these affiliates, dozens of them who have applied for this ssmall business funding, the man umbrella organization of planned parenthood is saying, well, we did not apply as a big organization, but the smaller organizations that are affiliated with us applied because they should be eligible given the small number of employees. and so, thatli is the way that they are justifying it. and the vice president of governmental affairs is saying that the fca, which is asking these affiliates to give the moneyy back, that they should, that this is an unrelenting attack on abortion rights. but they also argue the affiliates that the money was being used to save employee paychecks. well, if it was about saving, employee paychecks, then why is she making the argument that this is an attack on abortion rights? >> tucker: that is a very good point. so what you're saying as it would be like if the apple store

in georgetown or midtown manhattan applied for a small business loan, they are a small business, because they only have 80 employees., >> tucker: win >> right. but the apple headquarters in california did not apply becausd 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 was first passed, and it said planned parenthood is not eligible for this. so the question that the senators have for the justice department to look into is whether these applications were made in a valid, nonfraudulent way. why is it that some affiliates under planned parenthood, who should be receiving plenty of money from thisth 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. and it does sound like fraud. i agree i with you on that. katie pavlich, thank you for that. good to. see you. >> good to see you, tucker.
