2020. we will be back tomorrow and tucker carlson ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we spent an awful lot of time this spring talking about viruses and how they spread. one person infects another person who infects a third who then has contact with a larger group of people and infects 20 more, each of whom, and you know how it works, it's exponential. pretty soon, individuals thousands of miles from the source of the outbreaks are getting sick. what we now know is the craziness spreads very much the same way. a single lunatic can pass case debilitating case

to millions of others. hysteria is the most communicable disease known to man. and we are now living through a pandemic of it. on memorial day weekend, a man called george floyd died in police custody in minnesota and that's where this outbreak first began. minneapolis was our wuhan. the first cases appeared a little over a month ago. here is the scene of the pandemic now.he >> it was just before midnight thursday when protesters began dismantling and toppling a statue honoring christopher columbus in civic center park. crews moved in and destroyed what was left. one processor climbing up the statue began spray painting its face and hands, possibly symbolizing blood, while others spray-painted the words george floyd, blm for black lives matter, and the communist symb symbol. they have just torn down this statue of christopher columbus. the statue has been here since

1931. >> tucker: so to translate what you just saw into the clinical language of epidemiology, holy smokes, this is getting really crazy. what does christopher columbus have to do with george floyd? christopher columbus was not a minneapolis police officer. christopher columbus was an italian navigator. who died more than 500 years ago. columbus probably never even heard of george floyd. he almost certainly didn't mistreat him personally. why are people attacking columbus statues? who knows. you are definitely not allowed to ask. questions are not permitted during hysteria epidemics. the logic of any kind seems to dramatically increase the severity of the symptoms. a patient may appear to be recovering from hysteria, speaking the nearly complete sentences, behaving independently on occasion, but then a single direct question will send him into a table spend, renewed attack of anarchist graffiti and hours of

hostile tweeting. itti is safer not to say a word. that is definitely the policy over at the center of republican conference on capitol hill. republican senators have decided not to disturb the patients even as they rampaged through americg destroying our culture and history.ur it's easier to give them what they want so that's what they are doing. ron johnson of wisconsin and james lankford of oklahoma republican senators and they propose legislation to abolish columbus day. they wanted to lead from the national calendar and replace it with juneteenth. it's a big change. americans and celebrated columbus day as long as we've had a country, since 1792. columbus day is a celebration of the nation itself. that's why it's a national holiday. juneteenth is newer. three weeks ago many people have never heard of it. even the media seemed oblivious to its existence. from 2012 to 2017, cnn did not mention the word juneteenth a single time on the air. barack obama was the president,

never tweeted about juneteenthee once during the entire span of his presidency, not one time. juneteenth commemorates the freeing of the american slaves. emancipation is one of the great moments in american history. that's why we consider abraham lincoln a hero. but paradoxically and this is odd, the people who are pushing juneteenth on the country do not consider abraham lincoln a heros they are pulling down his statues, along with columbus. confused? that is the nature of a hysteria outbreak. nothing makes sense. senators johnson and langford tbmay be confused as well. they describe themselves as conservatives, improbable as that may seem. on some level they may suspect that all the yelling about columbus day and juneteenth doesn't really have much to do with emancipation or civil-rights or likely is justuc another way to humiliate and demoralize americans. on some level they know that but they are ignoring it. it's easier to do with the hysteria patients. unless their voters noticed them

doing it. the boys weeks ago senator mike braun of indiana sponsored a bill to punish the police. at the moment that the country was undergoing widespread looting, arson and violence, rioting. then mike braun endorsedrs the radical racial separatist blm movement. at first, mike braun's constituents didn't seem to realize their senator had done any of this. but when they found out, they were enraged and they let him know about it loudly. now running away from his ownwn belt. if mike braun were up forik election this year, he would lose. senators langford and johnson are praying nothing like that will happen to them. they are hoping to quietly diminate columbus day and then move on to the next item on the rioters lists of demands.s will they be able to do that? it all depends on whether or not you let them know that you noticed they are trying to cancel columbus day. if you don't say anything about it, there is no telling what johnson and senator lankford might do next. the other day for example

"the new york times" ran a piece suggesting that we knocked down george washington statues and purge our country's founder from our collective memory. today the paper announced that we should consider closing mount rushmore because of course, racism. senators johnson and senator lankford haven't endorsed those ideas. it may not be long before they do. what otherio acts of revolution and cultural desecration can we expect from our suddenly woke republican senator friends? that's a good question. we're going to ask mark steyn in just a minute. what do you think they will do if you don't say anything? which holidays will they be canceling? obviously july fourth would be first on the list. is anyone on "the new york times" can tell you america is inherently racist and has always been there for celebrating independence is also racist -- no less racist. presidents' day. officially presidents' day is washington's birthday and as you just heard, he's evil, to evil to have a statue. how can he have a holiday?

every single president has been the man. sexism, anyone? don't tell lankford and johnson. thanksgiving, no way we can have at holiday on our calendar. not only was it established by abraham lincoln, manseau filthy his stature is being removed from boston, not a single one of the pilgrims wasn't from engla england. veterans day and memorial day? until 70 years ago, the armed forces were segregated. some of the people who foughtar and died in america's wars were racist so you can't honor them. come on. off the calendar. you'd think new year's day would be safe. nothing controversial about new year's day. dig into the history, ladies and gentlemen. the romans were the first civilization to start the year on january 1st. guess what. the romans owned slaves. why stop at official holidays? why are any holidays

exceptional? mother's day and father's day both perpetuate the gender binary. halloween is just a festival cultural appropriation. it must go. valentine's day, offensive for obvious reasons. love is bourgeois. whatou else will they do we dont stop them? to answer that question, we are joined by our old friend mark steyn. good to see it. are you concerned they're going to get rid of more stuff? >> yeah, this is why, i should prefacee everything i say buy what you said a couple days ago, that the republicans are the only alternative to the complete biden-aoc takeover. we've got to drag this sorry, worthless punch across the finish line in november. ali must say i didn't think it would be possible to despise republican senators anymore than i do. but these two guys, surrendering columbus. with conservatives like this, who needs marxist, leninist violent anarchists on the

streets? when you meet lunatics halfway, it makes you a lunatic too. i actually would like to replace groundhog day with republican senator day when the senator emerges from the senate and accidentally sees his backbone. but then goes back inside for the next six years and never gives it another thought. these guys don't understand that unless you're willing to surrender everything, you better surrender nothing. they are only going to come back for more. >> tucker: the paradox here and there are so many, both -- i should say i know both senators and they are both smart and they both routinely make conservative noises. contrast what they did today with what joe biden, who was a left-winger to the extent he has any views at all and certainly a puppet of radicals, i think biden has not called for getting rid of columbus. and yet to republican senators have.

they are wokeer than the democratic nominee? >> that is the problem. people are pining for an alternative to what they see on the streets. in france, president macron, you might regard as a ridiculous dinky we be metrosexual globalist nothing said you're not taking one statue. we are not changing a single street name. it's all part of our history. he has more backbone than the republican party. some big sartre ayatollah in iran, i forget, not the supreme ayatollah but it's like the deputy assistant under supreme ayatollah of iran, he said today this is fantastic. 40 years ago it was just iranians saying death to america. now you switch on the tv and in atlanta and minneapolis and portland and seattle, there are

thousands of americans in effect saying death to america. he gets it. these people are at war with the american idea. so the republican response is to propose a holiday two weeks before the fourth of july that would in effect be the arrival and would be touted as the rival to i july the 4th. every juneteenth, that's when you have the celebrities. they would be having the big parades. july the 4th would wither and die. if this is conservatism, if this is the republican party then for god sake just get out of the way. we will drag you across the finish line in november. at least let us call you the worst worthless contemptible nothing slugs dead host party as we do so. i'm getting worked up. >> tucker: you have every right. i think all of us feel imperiled, threatened because we are. the people we voted for and send money to in order to protect us

have joined the other side. i have to ask you about the question of juneteenth. i think most people familiar with american history would say emancipation is one of the great moments in the entire 240 years of america. why are the people who say they support juneteenth against the person who made emancipation possible, abraham lincoln. they are tearing down a statue as they are demanding a juneteenth holiday. that doesn't make any sense at all. >> because it's about inflicting damage on the existing american order. so if you mean emancipation in the form of the lincoln statue that was taken down in boston, they are happy to see it go. emancipation doesn't mean anything to them. the juneteenth holiday is going to be the anti-july the 4th holiday. as far as republicans are concerned, i think republican senators should have their own emancipation day so that, the

wednesday after the tuesday night election when they are emancipated from their entire campaign platform and don't have to pretend they are tough on immigration, tough on crime, tough on china, and can just go back to being worthless jellies find nothings for the next six years. emancipation day for republican senators. first wednesday in november. >> tucker: i would like to see them emancipated from control of their donors. that might help. mark steyn, thank you for that perspective. great to see you tonight. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: as republicans do there on capitol hill about how to quietly kill columbus day, democrats are not dithering at all. it's exactly what they want. democrats at the state and local level are waging a war on police without precedent. the state of virginia, new proposal would make it a misdemeanor to physically attaca a police officer. that's next. it's pretty inspiring the way families

shootings up 46% compared to last year. even the lunatics were skeptical of these priorities. >> the number of shootings in new york city has risen dramatically. since one year ago. 503 so far compared to 350 over the same period last year. and why is it the right time to cut money from the police department? >> john, we have been, for years the biggest safest city in america and we continue to be it take that issue very seriously about the shootings. and we have to fight that back. >> tucker: i think that issue very seriously, he said it, not taking it seriously at all. if you care about black lives of the lives of any other american you do everything to stop the s shooting but no one is doing that because the country is engulfed in the moral hysteria and the target's police officers, not federal police,

not the fbi. they are on the side of the left. normal police officers, the ones who wear uniforms. in the state of virginia, democrats have proposed downgrading assault on a cop from a felony to a misdemeanor and requiring a warning before officers can use their firearms. that's not about safety. definitely not about protecting black lives. if you really want to understand what's going on here, watch this video fromd new york. >> my hairdresser has to go to school for longer than you do. half of you don't even have a college education. to be out here making demands. you can't even read a [bleep] history book, you should know better. you should know better. traitors to your [bleep] people.

>> tucker: oh, i get it. this is class war. you didn't even go to wesleyan, really?k. where is your yale degree? a hateful mob thinks of liberal art degree makes him morally superior to people who risk their lives keeping the rest of us being murdered. okay, a revolution aimed downward. jeanine pirro hosts "justice witho judge jeanine. take you for coming on. you saw that tape. evan think i've ever seen anything simultaneously more revealing and more loathsome than that. >> you know, tucker, you talk about cultural desecration in thee earlier segment. this is not desecration of law and order in america. that was disgusting. i just sat here stunned that this is going on in our country and not enough people are standing up to it. i give you kudos, tucker, for

taking everyone on. i agree with you. people are not standing up for law enforcement and it's going to be too late when they do because right now in this country, what's going on is thas law enforcement is being paralyzed. cops are not being given the ability to do their job. they are demoralized. they are vilified. and now in new york city especially, a billion dollars taken out of the nypd budget. and now cops don't even know what to do. i have spoken to several of them today and they said you know, nypd is just telling us now well, you can't do this and youu can't do that. leadership is saying you can't do d it. we are saying what do you do? for example, the rayshard brooks case in atlanta. the perp took that taser gun. under the new york law and in atlanta, the cop can use his gun

to defend himself in that situation. and now cops in new york are saying is that still the case here in new york? can we do it. they are not getting clarification. cops cannot put their hands on anyone. howat do you make an arrest? how do effectuate any kind of arrest? what do you say to the suspect? please if you don't mind would you put your hands behind your back? this is what's going to happen. the police are going to respond to a scene. they're going to take a report. they're not going to get involved in the chase because if they get involved in a chase, first of all there is a target on their back to begin with. maybe they'll be ambushed like they were last week -- i forget what town that was in. and in the end, they're going to call the sergeant. the sergeant is going to call the captain and the captain wile call the lieutenant and nobody knows what's going on and it's a real problem. as homicides go up, arrester going down.

that bozo, de blasio, has no idea what he's talking about. in fact when they disbanded the anti-crime unit that does thee' undercover work, guns and drugs, gangs. the people who are going to be hurting are the inner cities, poor people, and they know it. they are petrified. de blasio literally taking downline order and aoc says defund means defund all of them. the politicians have their own security guards. what about the rest of us? we are paying for law enforcement. we are entitled to that security. in the end, there will be a breakdown of society and i know from my days as a d.a., if you don't have a safe community, if you don't have a place where people can walk the streets, say goodbye to business. the economy is going to go down. nobody's going to want to move in. this is the end of new york city. i absolutely believe, tucker,

it's intentional. they don't want to give police -- if you beat a cough, it's not a felony. you are emboldening the criminal. the a criminal knows. >> tucker: the state of virginia downgrades assault on a police officer to a misdemeanor, they are encouraging physical attacks on the police. virginia wasn't pretty reasonable place about 20 minutes ago before the last election. what does this tell you about the future of the country when they see people over? >> what it tells me as we are all in trouble, like thes mccloskeys, that you had on your show and you talked about money and you had on your show last night. when you've got these defendants who are emboldened to beat up a cop, they've got nothing to lose. you know why? there's no bail. it's turnstile justice. the prosecutors in the city don't want to prosecute. now the police are, to taking, their authorities being taken away to make an arrest. where do you think we are going

to end up? it's not going to be good. say goodbye to new york city and you can think bill de blasio and the people on the left. >> tucker: what a tragedy. the biggest city in this country. judge jeanine pirro, great to see you tonight. thank you. silicon valley is the most powerful group of business lobbyists in the world, is now pushing the trump administration to roll back the executive order on guestnd workers. they say their concern is diversity. that's nonsense. what's the real motivation? we'll tell you after the break. dr. marc siegel joins us to explain the growing coronavirus numbers from texas and other states and what they actually mean. that's just ahead.

>> tucker: last week we told you about an executive order the president signed blocking new guest worker visas temporarily. this is of course in response to the mass unemployment among americans because of coronavirus.

it's a very smart thing to doss and a much-needed thing to do. one of the best things the president could do. it would only work if it was watered down. the president's order includes a requirement that within 30 days the secretary of homeland security suggested changes to it, already we are being told omch companies and their allies in the white house are trying to use the 30 day review period is a way to fatally weaken the order and fill it with loopholes and exemptions. the tech industry is the single most aggressively left-wing part of the american business community. by far. this pushes being led by the country's wealthiest tech companies. apple, google, amazon. it's not hard to figure out why. all of these companies are happy

to lecture you about how america is irredeemably racist. every day of the week they tell you that. they crow about diversity. apple ceo tim cook of course leaving the way as always. we could go when the president's order came out, ti tim cook tw tweeted. "like apple this nation of immigrants has always found strength in art diversity and hope in the promise of the american dream. deeply disappointed by this proclamation. talk about a non sequitur. of course more than that, it's a lie. tim cook is not protecting the american dream in any a sense. if he was he would want to protect america's fading middle-class. but he's doing the opposite. the vast majority of h1 being the guest worker visas are awarded to a single country, india. that's not diversity. it's one country. in silicon valley, 47% of all workers were born in foreign countries. pausing the h1b program for even six months will free up tens of

thousands of jobs for americans of all backgrounds. those stem classes your kids are taking, you know the college that you're paying for so they can work in the tech field, they are not going to get those jobs because they will be taken by foreign nationals. this might allow them a chance.m apple isn't fighting for diversity. they are doing exactly what they appear to be doing. they are trying to keep wages down and keep their workers compliant by importing labor from abroad. this isn't about diversity. it's about exploitation. it always is. the administration should not lafall for it.ho cases of coronavirus in texas are hitting new highs. hospitalizations are the highest they've ever been. one possible cause for that, texas officials say that every hospital patient with a coronavirus is being counted in their hospitalization total. even if c they're getting treatment for something completely different. that doesn't seem honest. what's going on? fox medical contributor dr. marc siegel has the latest.

hey, doctor. >> tucker, it's been widely reported that there is over 43,000 new cases of covid-19 yesterday. it's been widely reported that the south and the west been hard hit and it's been widely reported that texas, arizona, eecalifornia and florida are reversing aspects of their reopening. it's been widely reported that dr. tony fauci says we could see as much as 100,000 new cases per day. i'm not sure where that number comes from but that's what he says. that's all been widely reported. here's what hasn't been reported. as the case counts are going up, the death rate remained under 700 for 24 hours per day of new cases. why? why is that? because most of the people that are getting covid-19 now are young people and the cdc justti released a statistic that again was not reported. that of the last 15,000 deaths from covid-19, only 3.9% were under the ages of 44 years old.

the same group that is now spreading it in miami and spreading it in austin, texas, or spreading it in phoenix. that group has mild cases. it's been widely reported, as you just said, though the hospitalization rate is going out but it's not reported that it's not mostly covid-19. it's actually the cases that were there because of the reopening, because they are now getting the elective surgeries they need. cancer operations, heart disease operations, hernia operations. they are filling the hospitals. covid-19 is actually getting in the way of all that because the mild cases require isolation. it's not been widely reported dental nowow that our young peoe are bursting the bonds of all of this because of the excessive lockdowns. they are rebelling and it's not good public health because of how depressed and anxious they are of having been locked down. so tell me. let me ask a question. why? why is the whole story not being

reported is i'm trying to do? why? the answer is one word, tucker. politics. i'm here to cut through the politics and bring you the science to report on the science, tucker. >> tucker: everything that happens in an election year is about the election and that naive among us, me included, forget that. we shouldn't. thank you for your honesty. appreciate it. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: the biggest story for the democrats right now is that the public might actually listen to the candidate. can they prevent it from happening? the debates are coming up this fall. will joe biden show or will he find a pretext to ditch them? that's next.

♪ >> all you have to do is watch me. i can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man i'm running against. thank you so much. >> tucker: i can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability -- [laughs]

it's almost self discrediting. but joe biden means it because in his head it still in 1993 and he's at the peak of his mental powers. the people who work for him no differently because they watch him say things like this. >> introduced me. is it on? good evening. thanks so much for tuning in. no man has a right to raise a hand to a woman in anger, other than in self-defense, and that rarely ever occurs. so we have to change the culture, period. keep punching at it and punching at it and punching at it. i love this place. what's not to like about vermont in terms of the beauty of it and what a neat town. played the radio. make sure the television -- excuse me. make sure you have the record player on at night. poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. we choose science over fiction.

we choose truth over facts. >> tucker: yeah, because when you take on domestic violence, you've got to keep punching at it. voters appear to agree or maybe they have forgotten. either way, joe biden's odds of becoming president look pretty good right now. his campaign lives in fear that he will talk and then if he does so in public late in the race, he could implode. so the question is, will there be debates? biden has promised he will debate the incumbent, but will he find a pretext to pull out? dana perino hosts "the daily briefing," frequent guest of the show we are proud to say and happy to have around. thank you so much for coming on. this is one of those scenarios where there's almost nothing you can say to make me believe it. maybe i'm being carried away by my superstition or paranoia on this but it seems very likely to me that something will happen, almost anything. if a new crisis emerges virtually every day. at that point joe biden says you know what, he's not morally

worthy of sharing a debate stayed with o me. you think that's possible? >> i guess so though it reminds me of something. you might owe me on a bet which i'll remind you of before we finish this. >> tucker: i'm sure i do. >> i think you might. the other day, yesterday doug mckelway from fox news asked joe biden about his cognitive abilities. that's why joe biden repeats it twice. you see this morning, donald trump and joe biden are going after each other on their cognitive abilities. so you're going to be able to see it. super cuts like what you showed, that montage. i think for some people in america, they feel like they know joe biden for a long time so they think it's kind of charming. they know he messes up all the time. for a trump phase, he tells it like it is and it might not be perfectly structured grammar and all presidential and they love it. but how will we know about cognitive abilities unless there are debates? joe biden can't say i want to match my cognitive abilities against his, unless there are

debates because everything else is so scripted. terry mcauliffe's plan to keep joe biden in the basement is working fairly well. then hee comes out in the press really treated him with kid gloves. they were like wow, you're out and you're doing an event and your taking questions. we are so amazed. but everything else he does is very scripted. the videos, the tweets, everything like that. only place you're going to actually be able to test either candidate i think is at the debates. tucker, there is a scenario i could imagine where biden says i don't need to debate him. if, for some reason, they are convinced that they are so far ahead of president trump right going into the election, maybe they'll say we don't need to debate. but this race is definitely going to tighten. it will be a close race. i believe there will be debates. >> tucker: because you think the biden campaign, which is very cynical, i can't say that enough. you think the biden campaign thinks politically they have to

agree to a debate?ca >> yes, and he's already said he would debate. i think the only reason they would say they are not going to debate is if they think for some reason that they are going to be able to run away with this. that's just not going to happen. the numbers are not there. i think yes, joe biden's numbers and the polls look pretty good right now, but it's -- four months from now we will have the election. feels like it could happen in the blink of an eye but also we will have 4,700 news cycles until then. and a lot can happen between now and then. it's -- you solve president trump today trying to zero bag and on joe biden on major issues, mainly the economy, and warning people what could happen to them and the economy if they don't give them another four years and put biden in. >> tucker: yeah. it does seem like we have a right to see both candidates, all candidates speak in an unscripted way, responding to

challenges from their peers, not from the media. and if we are denied that, i think it will really be a watershed and very sad moment in american history. >> i think that there will definitely be debates. you could imagine. back in february when president trump's numbers were doing so well, he had beaten impeachment, the economy was going great. you could almost imagine a scenario. in fact i was asked about it, not on your show but another show on fox news, if i thought president trump would agree to debates because he would need them because he was so far ahead of joe biden. i think we deserve debates. it's a tradition in the country and we need to see them both ini their element in answering questions. important ones on the issues. all the issues you brought up on your show tonight. >> tucker: right, i agree withou you there. dana perino, thank you so much. >> tucker, you owe me that michelle obama was going to be his vice president. i think i'm going to win that

debate. >> tucker: it wouldn't be the first bet you have won. thank you, dana. three weeks after declaring independence from downtown seattle, the world's newest country no longer exists. what happened to its stateless citizens. we'll tell you after the break.s

homeland. >> tucker: so what are the chances raz simone goes back to his real job which was renting his apartment on airbnb? >> his apartments on airbnb way better than living in a tent in front of a police station or next to a park. he maybe should go back to that and pursue his rap career. i am curious. is he living on the streets? a chop leader. i want to the lyrics. i want to see the soul in his story. he has a story to tell and i'm here to listen. >> tucker: the first world leader to emerge from the gig economy. great to see you for your tireless reporting on chaz. we want to end tonight with some happy news. here's news you can use. no doubt a lot of you are struggling with the recession we

would with anything else. i know. quite a concept. one family in massachusetts got a 41% discount on tuition at aho school just by emailing the school. another student admitted to the university of miami initially received no discount but when she asked for a merit scholarship just after lockdowns began, the school gave herju $20,000. obviously the right answer is to avoid paying for college, find an option. if you're going to pay for college this fall, consider sending an email to the financial aid office. you've got nothing to lose. be tough in that email. it is a buyer's market right now in education. so keep that in mind. there's absolutely no reason you should be paying 70 grand a year all in to send your kid to a reeducation camp. news you can use, as we promised. that's it for us tonight. we are completely out of time. we have spanned the gamut all the way from eliminating columbus day to the end of chop to a new dawn in higher education which you have the

power to negotiate. we promised you a happy ending. and we delivered. we are coming back tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern, the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. in the meantime, the great sean hannity. >> sean: we can make sure every family is safe and secure in their home, their city, their neighborhood and we can have the best school system in the world. we spend more per capita than any other industrialized country. great point, good show tonight as always. welcome to "hannity." so much breaking news. the ever frail and ever confused, weak joe biden is vowing to raise your taxes. what a promise. president trump hitting back in a big way. the economy, huge news tonight on the great side. signs of a real robust v-shaped recovery we had all hoped for and consumer confidence on the rise and a lot of records set that we'll share with you. the host of "dirty jobs," our fr
