following sectors. restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, zoos and museums, card rooms and of the shuttering of all bars. this is in every county in the state of california. >> brian: here we go again. but can we afford the high economic cost of another shut down? not everyone thinks so. >> gyms were one of the last categories to reopen under the last shutdown order and now one of the first order to close once again. the owner says he can't endure another round of financial pain, especially in the midst of opening up a new state-of-the-art, brand-new location nearby. >> our backs are against the wall in the last almost crippled me and i can't do another shutdown, i just refuse. it's not right, it's not constitutional we are standing up for our rights. >> brian: by the way, in new york, they still have in open. it's not even in a phase. it's not just local business

owners, the measures also bring up fundamental questions about how much power the government actually has. >> the governor's latest round of shutdowns now bands indoor activities at houses of worship to slow the spread of covid-19. pastor arthur hodges says his church just reopened under very strict health guidelines. his church is currently suing the state over the shut down. >> in the u.s. constitution, in the first amendment, the first of the bill of rights is "the free exercise of religion" and that is an inviolable right. inviolable means there are no exceptions to this. >> brian: so is another round of shutdowns good policy? can our economy afford this policy and do we have the trillions of dollars for the need for the bailout? "unreported truth is about covid-19 and lockdowns." follow his twitter feed, find out exactly what he thinks, he joins us now. alex, this didn't work the first time, so we are going back to

it? >> it's very strange. there's no real evidence nationally or internationally that lockdowns have a desired effect, you can point to countries that didn't lock down like japan where actually the virus hit less hard than almost any other developed country. you can point to countries and locked on early and hard like italy for there is a terrible spike in virus deaths. italy has more per capita deaths than the united states, and that's still true on the state level, but also true. so if we are going to do this, if we're going to try this again, shouldn't there be some evidence that it actually worked the first time? >> brian: 41 states have an increase in cases. how else would you attack this? the most sophisticated scientific minds say things as basic as "wear a mask, wash your hands." >> so first of all, 41 states have an increase in sars-cov-2 positive tests. that may or may not be clinically relevant.

it's clinically relevant if you wind up in the hospital, if you're one of the unfortunate people who dies from this. if you have a positive test it does not mean any of those things are likely to happen and in fact, based on what we know now, if you're under 50, the odds that you will die of this if you get it based on data from sweden, one in 10,000. data from the u.s., one in the low thousands. for most, i'm not even going to say young, young or middle-aged people who are decently healthy or not morbidly obese, not really unhealthy, this is something people get through relatively quickly and easily so the fact that a lot of people are having positive tests doesn't necessarily mean anything. what matters is that hospitals are filling up, i see filling up and let's be clear, we are seeing some of that in the sun belt states, some of it in arizona, some of it in texas, some of it in florida but we are not seeing any signs of those

hospitals can't manage of the surge that we are seeing and actually just in the last few days, i looked at this data very closely every day, there is some evidence now that in southeast texas, which includes houston, which is, you know, 8 million people, arizona, that 7 million people, there's some evidence that there may have been a peak in hospitalizations and that's come without the hundreds of thousands of deaths that new york city saw in april. it's a much lower number of deaths. >> brian: so when people watching us right now or at home go, hey, alex berenson, 135,000 people plus died and we just got this stat, i don't know where it came from, that if we all wear masks we will say 40,000 lives, what you say to that? >> i say there is no real evidence that masks work. listen. for 20 years we and the w.h.o., the cdc and w.h.o. have come up with a lot of different recommendations for what to do about respiratory virus pandemics, influenza pandemics, mainly, and they did not really recommend masks.

you can go look at the recommendation, there's very little evidence that masks work, even less evidence that lockdowns work. what we should be doing is concentrating on protecting the really vulnerable, people in nursing homes and people with serious comorbidities and standing of our hospitals and that works, that will help people, that will drive down the death rates in people who do get infected and that's what we should be focusing on. >> brian: so alex, in other words, what the doctors told us in the spring, we should be doing, not what they tell us now in the summer we should be doing. dr. ronnie jackson who is a doctor for three presidents, career admiral, just won his congressional race, told us today, he doesn't wear a mask, doesn't really recommend you wear a mask, so you can imagine how people watching us for now can say, what is the right thing to do and are scratching their head wondering where to go, so we will continue to monitor it and continue to call on you, alex. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: opening schools is another flash point in the

coronavirus debate, maybe the one you are having right now. talking heads on cnn and msnbc want schools close this fall, they said so. but when msnbc asked a sample of five doctors what they thought about sending kids to school, they got a surprising answer. >> would you let your kids go back to school? >> i will. my kids are looking forward to it. >> yes. period, absolutely. >> absolutely, as much as i can. >> without a hesitation. >> without hesitation, yes. >> i have no concerns about sending my child to school in the fall. >> i would let my kids go back to school. >> dr. john torres, nbc news. >> they all said yes. >> brian: i wonder how that made the final edit. "the new york times," "wall street journal" wrote editorials about how we should send our kids back to school. so that's the science. will politicians and teachers unions listen to the science? not so far. the sacramento schools in california just announced as we started the showed today that they won't offer in person

learning this fall, they will follow california's two largest school districts, san diego and los angeles. they won't do it. melissa francis cohosts "outnumbered" and most important for the segment, a mom of kids who want to go to school. melissa, are you surprised these school districts are throwing in the towel right now after throwing in the towel in the spring? >> i am surprised, i do have three kids and i joined those doctors that i would not hesitate to send all three of them back to school in the fall. but i worry about another thing. i did study labor economics in college, you didn't need to do that in order to understand that we are actively expanding the gap between rich and poor during this period. because there is a huge disparity in the damage that is being done to the kids who are being kept home. if you look at the statistics and here in new york depending on the district, depending on where it is, between 20 and 50% of kids are not logging on.

they were not doing anything during that whole entire period. that's not what's going on in my house. i have the means to work from home, first of all, and also to make sure that my kids logging on and learning. i would also say in the independent schools in new york city, they've made a plan, they were doing live learning, they've done really smart practical things, like rather than having your kids go to school monday wednesday friday, why don't we stagger it through the day so they all go every day but you take the little kids, bring them in earlier in the morning, stagger it then you can still have the same lower body count but you're just starting people at different times of the day. there are really smart, practical things that can happen but here's the biggest point, brian. the democrats that are fighting against sending kids back to school are consigning low income children to a low income future and i'm wondering why they're doing that because we know that one of the biggest predictors and one of the best ways to get

out of poverty is early education. it's not college. it's elementary school, it's middle school. where you learn about yourself, where you learn all the basics, and you begin to say, well, maybe i can go to this high school where teachers realized that maybe this you my child has this difference, this disability, needs this kind of support. those kids, the low income kids are missing that and my question is, how our teacher is not? how are teachers not essential workers? >> brian: i don't know. >> and when did we decide to put children last? why are we putting children last? they must go to school. >> brian: melissa, i agree. we got to show some resourcefulness and make it work. don't say i can't make it work, do it, and when the los angeles school district comes out and says yeah, for this to work, the teachers union, we need medicare for all and we nee need to defud the police. i'm thinking to myself, wait a second, the president 100%

right, politics is playing a role? melissa, i hope your kids get back to school and help all the kids watching right now get back to school. i think their parents feel the same way. thank you so much. see you tomorrow. you will be on "outnumbered." meanwhile, we are not done with this topic. the virus killed more than 30,000 new yorkers, by far the worst outcome of any state. one reason for such a high death toll was new york's governor andrew cuomo's disastrous decision to send covid-positive patients back to nursing homes where they in fact of the most vulnerable people in the state and yet governor cuomo is extremely proud of this worst in the nation performance. he's now selling a retro- looking propaganda poster that touts new york's covid response. he's bragging about it on twitter and even on late night tv. >> what phase of dating are you currently in? >> zero. i'm at phase zero on dating.

there is no duration on phase zero. there is no automatic time that you go to phase one. you can stay at phase zero for months. i think new york city will be fully reopened before i get out of phase zero on dating. >> i thank you so much for your leadership, you were there for us when we needed you, you still are there. >> brian: i just wonder how many gym owners and restaurant owners are laughing right now. the performance has been so ridiculous that even cnn is not buying it. >> the poster includes references to his daughters and a boyfriend, little inside jokes. no illustrations of the more than 32,000 dead new yorkers, the highest death toll by far of any state, no rendering on that poster of criticism that governor cuomo ignored warnings, no depiction of the study that he could've saved thousands of lives had he and mayor de blasio acted sooner, no painting on the poster of his sins had been

of his sins-rescinded orders that nursing homes take all infected patients in. >> brian: it's an amazing turn for the network, which of course was joking about the governor during the pandemic, even as it was devastating new york's nursing homes, remember? >> i've seen you referred to recently, wondering if that's bleeding into your demeanor and making it a to make you a little soft. >> i've always been a soft guy, i'm a cool dude and a loose mood, you know that. go with the flow, baby, you know. >> brian: fox news senior meteorologist has been personally affected by new york's covid response, joins us right now. if you don't mind, can you tell the audience, in face though my case they don't know, how you will personally infected? >> my husband lost both of his parents. his mom in an assisted living facility and his dad in a nursing home, they died of coronavirus.

alone. we never had a funeral, never had a wake, we were never able to see them before they died and to see governor cuomo on television this past week talking about his love life in this disgusting poster that is basically a depiction of 32,000 people that died. it's not funny. it's tone-deaf. and it makes my heart hurt because we are still mourning our loved ones. and we think that part of the reason is because governor cuomo allowed over 6,000 covid recovering patients into nursing homes for 46 days straight. >> brian: so janice, he had a ship, this huge convention center if you're not from new york, all converted by the army corps of engineers by great expense, he could've put them there and decided not to. in fact, this was a secret until burnett hogan, the albany reporter for "the new york post" asked him about it, whose idea

was it to put these covid patients back in nursing homes? he goes, i don't know. he asked howard zucker, i don't know. that's a good question, howard zucker is south commissioner. he lied. he knew exactly what he did, knew it was his decision, he lied in april and then he did a study to analyze whose fault it was. it turns out the study commission exonerated him. who would have thought? >> yes. he's blamed everyone except himself, god, fox news, "the new york post," mother nature, everyone except the person who signed the order for covid-recovering patients to go into nursing homes and spread of the virus like wildfire. he's blamed everyone. the one thing i will say, brian, is that that poster showing how egotistical he is and that's why it's getting play on some of the channels in the mainstream media that were not covering the step

order. so for that i am really glad of his arrogance and his indifference to people who have died because of his order. >> brian: so janice, i also read in your notes, that you say, look, if you made a mistake and you owned up to it, you understand it. we are in a pandemic, first one in 100 years, we get it. we still don't know everything about this coronavirus. but he never did that. he always points fingers. problem in new york city, that may or better get control. problem in restaurants and gems, not my issue, problem in other states, you better not come here. final thought? >> rights. if he had admitted his mistake in the beginning i would have forgiven him, but he didn't, and there's going to be hearings in new york state the first week of august and i hope to be there. >> brian: i hope you are, too. janice dean, thank you so much. i will see you tomorrow morning on "fox & friends." not all coronavirus news is bad, though. dr. marc siegel is standing by with some positive updates, all

straight ahead. also, that interview that tucker says is one of the most bizarre interviews he's ever conducted and you will see it in just minutes. ♪ 49... 50!

>> so this is a sham, the company isn't real, your website is fake and the claims you have made our lives. this is a hoax. >> brian: that's just a taste of what may have been the most legendary "tucker carlson tonight" interview in the history of the "tucker carlson tonight" show. stay tuned because tucker isis back later in the hour and we will relive it together.el but first, shocking images of police under attack at the brooklyn bridge in new york city. this not so peaceful protest played out blocks from city hall city hall, nypd chief terry monahan, you've probably seen him on television lately, was injured in the attack. city leaders don't care. the city council recently slashed his department's budget and today the mayor's police reforms that make it harder for the nypd to crack down on criminals made it worse today.th here's some footage of today's mayhem at the brooklyn bridge. >> i making you famous right now.e you too. making you famous, too. you too.

how about that? [inaudible] >> you will be placed under arrest with the charge of disorderly conduct. [inaudible] >> brian: in an orwellian twist, the mob called to today's protest on march against violence. as you can see they have no problem with violence as long as police are being harmed and they are the victims. the left-wing violence directed at america's cops might be one reason that the national organization of police organizations just endorsed president trump today, in fact right before the show. they supported joe biden and president obama in 2008 and 2012. that is a big deal. judge jeanine's host of the show "justice with judge jeanine."an

joins us now. judge, i'm not telling you anything. you were all over this story, you knew about this march. what was the intention, who was there, and what happened? >> i knew about this march last week, this is a march that was planned by law enforcement along with the clergy, black clergy, hispanic clergy, march for peace and it was a joint force of the clergy and law enforcement because if you talk to any of the clergy in new york, they understand that it is in the inner-city, the most dangerous areas, that they are going to be victimized by some of these agitators that you're seeing so this whole march which was peaceful was interrupted by a group of agitators and just before the march, there was a black suv in front of city hall where someone was handing out baseball bats. the police told me that theye were able to see some of those baseball bats, but obviously some of them they weren't able

to. and what you saw in video just before i came on is the agitators, the instigators, who were invading this peaceful protest with the police and the clergy are marching together. this is an all-out effort to destroy law enforcement and to destroy whatever peaceful conglomerates we can bringme together, the clergy and the police and chief terrence monahan, the guy is the highest uniformed officer in the pd, he was either hit with a bat or some kind of wooden stick and you know, the attack is on all law enforcement now and bill de blasio is signing more bills today to take power away from the cops, to plant more blackw lives matter murals today in the bronx, the bronx is a very place where an individual grabbed a cop in a choke hold and that individual was still walking around free us of the bronx va can't figure out whether or not to fileo charges? but this is what's happening.

new york city is now like a third world country. new york city will be like chicago, it's like -- you know, the homeless in annapolis, 43 days in portland. they are bringing down our intentionally and the combination of soros-funded d.a.s, or not interested in prosecuting crime and the so-called bail reform or we let them out as soon as the people's work is done,-c along with the refusal to even enforce the law because the cops have not been trained on how to even effectually arrest. we will be living in an all-out barbaric society and you wonder why gun crime -- gun purchases are going to the roof. no one is going to calm 1911 is called. the cavalry ain't coming. you're on your own. >> brian: true. and guess what, when the people come back to the city supposedly in the fall, this is really going to be a mess, this is an empty city and they're still violence running rampant. can you imagine what everyone comes back and tries to go into the suit doors that have been

looted and boarded up or listens they were attacked in june? thanks so much for inside information and the video, you really told the story well. thanks so much, judge. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: meanwhile, tucker is back for one of the most legendary interviews of all time, that's coming up straight ahead. in his own words he said it something you can't miss. wherever he is, i think he will be watching, that's how much tucker likes tucker. ♪

>> brian: hi. get ready for must-see television. tucker calls this one of the most bizarre interviews he's ever done. the year was 2017, the month was january. trump's inauguration was just around the corner and a grassroots group, they called themselves demand protest, was supposedly offering cash payments to people who would disrupt trump's inauguration, or at least they said that's what they were doing. here'swe tucker. >> friday's inauguration looks like it could be a protest event for the ages with thousands of anti-donald trump agitators

descending on the city and why wouldn't they? more than 20 cities have beenn recruiting paid protesters to come here to d.c. to help disrupt the inauguration. the group demands protest which describes itself as one of the largest grassroots support organizations in the united states says it will pay professional protesters $50 anan hour in addition to a $2,500 monthly retainer to support their efforts. we are joined now by the director of operations in los angeles for demand protest, thanks for joining us tonight. >> no problem, tucker. >> tucker: so this is a sham, your company isn't real, your website is fake. the claims you have made our lives. this is a hoax. let me start at the beginning however with yourr name, which s not your real name. it's a fake name, we ran you through law enforcement level background checks and that name does not exist, so let's start with the truth. tell me what your real name is.

>> it's dominic. >> tucker: that's a lie and you know it's a lie. we asked you for i.d. and you said you didn't have a idea with you. doubtless you have a wallet on you, every grown man does. multiple credit card, you can cover the number, to our camera show is any piece of documentation with the name on it. you can't because it's not your billing. >> sure, absolutely i will do that in just a moment. i might just begin with kind of wondering. tucker, you're not accusing me of being a hoax, are you? >> i am saying that your name is fake and this company is fake and the claims you made on your web site are false. so my question for you is, is this an effort to discredit the protesters at the trump inauguration? is it an effort to convince conservative news organizations to pick up this story and therefore highlight the

gullibility? what's the point of the ruse that you're perpetuating on the american news media? >> sure, absolutely, great questions. i mean, basically, there's no way that a legitimate news agency would have somebody on that didn't really know what they were saying or was just kind of talking out of their behind. there's a certain amount of vetting that goes on behind every news organization so i would assume that i wouldn't be given airtime on a national stage unless i was legitimate. >> tucker: i'm vetting you right now and i'm beginning by saying you are not legitimate, you are lying. we know that. you have fooled other news organizations, you did not fool us and my question is, why are you doing it? and let me just satisfy our viewers who think maybe we are miss calling this, on your web site you claim that you pay a retainer to 1,817 operatives every month. if that were actually true, that's $54 million per year your spending just on retainers.

another $30 million a year if you're paying them for six hours a week work, that's demonstrably -- you're not doing that.we >> no, we are actually doing 80 million a year so i don'ty know quite where you got those numbers but those are definitely obviously dated. >> tucker: we got them off your web site.s >> i want to mention the fact... >> you're not conceding that this is a hoax? you are saying this is a real company that's engaged in the activities you're engaged in, you have 1800 protesters on retainer for 2500 bucks a month and are affecting american politics by doing this?? >> yeah, we actually changed our mind about, we are no longer actually going after donald trump, we are actually going after the protesters at the inauguration so we kind of changed our minds actually, recently and that was a result mainly of the enormous amount of hate mail we received, people making death threats and theyec

basically just really talked us into changing our positions what we're doing now is actually protesting the protesters. >> tucker: what is the real story here? why are you doing this?re what point are you trying to make? >> the main point basically is that we are greatly, greatly supportive of national treasures such as julian assange, edward snowden, peyton manning and we really support their efforts to get the truth out there and in the case of the current climate that we have right now, that client is very interested in releasing the roswell papers.te >> tucker: [laughs] really? so you're pretty supportive of peyton manning, are you? >> extremely. >> tucker: [laughs] obviously this is performance art. i will say you're pretty good at it, give my best to peyton manning and also to mrs. tullipso. if you would. thank you so much for joining us. whoever you are, i can't believe

it. >> brian: that was fantastic. dom tullipso. what an interview, wherever he is right now and in case you didn't already know as we change gears to get back to the show, joe biden isn't what he wants was either, it's not really clear that he knows where he is or what i he's saying. in other words, he's the perfect vessel for a far left activists to commandeer his agenda. his plan to implement a green new deal, his version proves that and that's next. plus, a story so crazy that i can only happen in san francisco. the city is paying for homelessc heroin addicts to stay at a luxury hotel using tax dollars to buy them food, alcohol, and marijuana. and "tucker carlson tonight" investigates that straight ahead. ♪

♪ >> brian: all right, joe biden spent most of his public life shilling for credit card companies and arranging pay for play deals to enrich a family member, not very progressive. things have changed, though. he's now a vessel for much more radical views. angela davis told the russian television today that the best

thing about biden is that he's easy to manipulate. still don't believe it? here is biden borrowing language from alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> there's no more consequential challenge we should meet in the next decade than the onrushing climate crisis. left unchecked, it's literally an existential threat to the health of our planet and to our very survival. that's not up for dispute,f mr. president. >> brian: dana perino's host of up with the daily briefing" here on fox news and always picks up the nuances on the d campaign and others that are easy to spot. hey, dana, does it surprise you that people label joe biden, who has been doing for 47 years, easy to manipulate? >> well, i think that someone like angela davis who suggests that one was completely irresponsible, it's not one you want in any president regardless

of party, he wants a buddy was pencils, who will stick to them and make decisions on behalf of the united states and fulfills their oath of office to protect the country until he aske seals forward and lead us in times ofl crisis. what you had this week is joe biden continuing to deal with the progressive wing of his base, instead of reaching out. in addition, talking about climate change in the middle of a pandemic and an economic recession seems to be a wasted opportunity and i would say the same thing about the trump campaign as well or the trump white house talking a lot about culture war issues rather than of two issues that are top mind for most people. energy is the backbone of the economy, joe biden will probably have some problems especially in states that he really needs to win like pennsylvania because these issues really matter. people who work in the energy industry absolutely vote on the contrast could not be more clear between the candidates on this particular issue. >> brian: dana, if you're not b convinced that he's moving to the left, bernie sanders gave an

interview with npr and said, even though joe biden's proposal is making him the most progressive president since fdr, he said they don't go far enough, that the solution is to elect biden and then strengthen our grassroots movement to make sure that we have a government that represents all of us. so the minute he gets in, he's going to be pushed and prodded and at 77 years old he already says he's a placeholder. it looks like a lot of people want that place. >> sure. i also think that biden can look at them and say, i won the primary and i did it because i was appealing to the broader democratic party.e his problem will be, how do they figure out how to keep this coalition together. if they do end up winning more of the suburbs, how can biden keep them while also keeping the very aggressive left? he's got a lot of problems but i think right now, the race is closer than you think on paper,

than it looks. it will tighten further, energy issues will probably not be that top of mind unless the trump campaign directly ties them to the economy and jobs. >> brian: right. dana, a fox news alert right now, we are also hearing that president trump is removing brad parscale as campaign manager. "new york times" says he's been demoted. have you confirmed this, have you heard anything about this? we have not heard much from him lately.fi >> yes, i think the president has actually put out a statement as well, twitter has been messed up but he put out a statement on facebook, i actually have it here. he's pleased to announce that bill, he moved over to the campaign just a couple months ago, will become the trump campaign manager and brad is it's going to be handling all the digital work that he was famous for in 2016 and he will remain a senior advisor on the campaign. i think brad is to be admired,

he's done a lot to get the campaign to where it is today. but i think that the president recognizing that this election is going to be different from 2016 had to make this change or wanted to make this change, you have to admire brad for being willing to set pride aside and stick with the team and work with them to try to beat vice president biden. >> brian: he's raised a lot of money, but the ground work together, but the team together but maybe the president want somebody with more experience to bring them over the next fourr months. he's never shy about making a change with this campaign or this administration. and we know that brad parscale was put there by ivanka trump and jared kushner and they played major roles with the president. so brad will still play a major role. thanks so much, perfect person to be here for theth breaking news. >> all right. take care. >> brian: i will see you tomorrow at two and then we'll watch you again on "the five." millions of americans had to make a huge sacrifice because of the pandemic.

one group that's living large as the same or just go homeless population. the city is putting many of them in fancy hotel rooms at taxpayer expense. they also get free food, booze, and marijuana, all paid for by you. just a few months ago, san francisco's health director explained how this is a really good thing. >> our behavioral health experts are offering services every day, medication-assisted treatment including nicotine and opiate replacement, behavioral health counseling. and in cases where people decide that they are going to continue to use, our focus is using the best evidence to help people manage their addictions. >> brian: well, okay. seems like a good deal. erica sandberg writes for city journal and has covered the story better than anyone, she joins us now from san francisco. whose idea was this? >> well, it all started with the

current administration and it trickled down to the board of supervisors and the department of public health. in their infinite wisdom, this is what they've come up with.ism >> how's it going, erica? >> horrible, it's an absolute disaster, it's solving exactly nothing and as a matter of fact it's making all the problems worse. insider sources are telling me what they are seeing inside the hotels and it is about as bad as you could imagine. only exponentially worse, you are talking drug-fueled parties, overdoses, deaths, people are being assaulted. you have sexual assaults going on, it is pandemonium. it is extremely bad and it needs to stop. >> brian: erika, does anybody else need is as the disaster that you've been reporting on, and what can we expect to happen here? >> yes. the people who are assigned as disaster workers, these people

have been librarians, they are just paper pushers, p administrators who are reassigned to these hotels and what they are telling me is beyond the pale. they are not just horrified, they are traumatized by what they see. you have mattresses that have feces on them, blood on the floor, but people are seeing is so horrible that they walk out and they say, i don't want to go back in there. and there is no control, it isis completely out of control and the city is trying to put this kind of a band-aid on it and pretend it's not happening. oh, it's happening and it's worse than people imagine. >> brian: please do not let up on this story. we will make sure to underline this story. dumb ideas should be labeled on people, they should not be able to escape just because they are in an extremely liberal city that keeps electing liberal people. erica, thanks so much.
