tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  November 20, 2020 9:00pm-10:00pm PST

9:00 pm
one million dollars in new scholarships through this month. yes, hope is alive and well. see what scholarship you qualify for at phoenix.edu. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." people say that governor andrew cuomo runs his >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." people say that governor andrew cuomo runs his office like an episode of "game of thrones." injury, betrayal, lots of darkn muttering in the shadows. always assumee that was an overstatement but now we see that the governor is getting an emmy award this year. is it possible that his entire administration has been a scripted drama from day one? an update on that bizarre story in just a minute and also the very latest on sidney powell's investigation into voterra fraud in this election but first, you might've seen duco michigan state legislators met at the white house, the topic of
9:01 pm
conversation was election irregularities in that state.gu might not seem like a big deal. a politician's coming to washington to talk to the headar of their party. pretty conventional and happens a lot. what you didn't know is it is now a felony. a guy called richard primusno arguing they should be prosecuted for their visit to the white house.e he says he works at the university of michigan's law school. according to professor primus these two lawmakers are "being visibly invited to a meeting with a likely agenda involves a felony of attempting to bribe a public official." visibly invited? what does that mean? and how exactly would he know that bribes were offered in the white house? he wouldn't know. not like politico was going to fact-check a guy called professor primus, so they went with it, whatever. it's a crime to talk to trump everyone knows that.
9:02 pm
that's an article of faith at msnbc. the rest of us in america have been laboring under the illusion that the first amendment still applies in this country. supporters of unpopular presidents deserve the length against jail sentence as possible and at least 20 years the fine print on that and they've confirmed it. yesterday, a harvard graduate you should know, someone whose blog was hacked by recess time traveling cyber hooligans explained the standard to viewers. >> as he remains holed up in the white house like an end-stage dictator refusing to concede and frankly to just go away dissolving into unreality while the republican party remains silent. at this point, it's hard to argue with lifelong republicans like stuart stevens were calling it sedition. >> tucker: sedition. ladies and gentlemen, this is serious. sedition is punishable by decades in prison, possibly death.
9:03 pm
get your scaffolds ready.pu in the legal opinion of an msnbc anchor, that's what we are looking at here.ca meanwhile, democrats in congress are suggesting the death penalty is on the table. did not, i'm calling for the eventual prosecution of donald trump and his enablers for their many crimes against the united states. keep in mind that he's a former mayor of a town in northern new jersey. in northern new jersey new jersey. but he's very upset about the idea of corruption in politics. so much for democratic norms and peaceful transitions of power
9:04 pm
they spent four years lecturing us about. there will be none of that. now they want blood. by the way, joe biden hasn't spoken up against any of this. apparently, he agrees with it. what is this? it is ugly and bad and dangerous, far more dangerous than anything rudy giuliani could do at 1,000 press conferences. you'll notice that he has not called for the white house to round up and imprison his political opponents. he never will call for that. they generally don't. what a hacked newspaper. but who was eager to shoot the prisoners? it's not right-wingers, it's the other side and it always is the other side. always. we've seen that the last four years. federal authorities, many of them openly hostile to the current administration use the power of law to punish their political enemies and you saw it unfold right on television. pursued process crimes like dangerous felonies. at one point, they sent a s.w.a.t. team and a tv crew from cnn to raid the home of an unarmed 68-year-old man because they claimed he had informationf about russian collusion. they dragged him from his home like he was running a fentanyl lab or stole his tank from a
9:05 pm
military base and after they humiliated him and destroyed his life, we learned what he already knew. he wasn't part of any conspiracy. in the end, they were forced to downgrade to he may have lied to congress ones. the whole thing was a disgrace. but so-called liberals loved it. they clap like seals at a water park totally delighted by this man suffering. >> roger stone mike donald trump is a political con man who is a showman stick has finally caught up with him. >> if you look up the word scumbag in the dictionary, you will see roger stone's picture there. >> i am just so happy this guy is indicted and arrested. he is a horrible human being. he is a thug. i he is a bully.
9:06 pm
>> tucker: that's what they'll say when they come for you. it's sickening. they not to scare you and make you worry about what happens when goals like that take power in this country.e the whole process is inevitable. we've seen a unfold all over the third world only for 100 years when you politicizee law enforcement, and they have. when they prosecute the president's advisors for lying but ignore the obvious lying from the acting director of the fbi, intelligence who lied under oath, you get what we're seeing now. the same people who have complained about a politicized department of justice are now salivating at the prospect of unleashing the department of justice on their political enemies. but why would they do that? kamala harris has been doing it for quite some time.s.bu >> if he was never impeached would you want the department of justice to go forward with those charges? >> i believe they would have no choice and that they should.
9:07 pm
there has to be accountability. >> tucker: there has to be accountability. we have to have accountability since the politician who refused to submit to a single press conference while running as joe biden's running mate. the dishonesty is brazen and you can begin to understand why so many americans have lost faith in this institution including our elections because the peoplo managing them are dishonest and incompetent. our leaders are demanding that we say in our homes while they dine at the french laundry. and punish you for how you voted but if you dare to notice any of this, i notice what's happeningy you are the dangerous lunatic and you get the doj on your trail. every once in a while, the mask does slip and they can see what going on. occasionally, the media class tells the truth. a pbs correspondent, someone whose salary you help pay with your tax dollars, an actual
9:08 pm
employee of actual state media admitted the relentless focus on jailing donald trump and his supporters actually helps the media. the media understand their ratings will plummet if they're forced to talk about anything other than donald trump. they have nothing to say and they will never cover joe biden. they voted for joe biden. so that's a nightmare scenario. by continuing to hyperventilatet for the rest of their lives maybe they will stave off a relevance until the mortgage is paid. listen closely to this clip. >> you have president trump selling this idea that there is a deep state conspiracy theoryse against him, if he gets indicted, if he even goes to jail, he might sell that idea to the millions of people who votet for him and might become even more powerful and that's what they're really scared about and why you're seeing people stand up to him.s >> tucker: is unbelievable on every level. a correspondent whose can't speak a grammatically correct u
9:09 pm
sentence and the dishonesty of it framing this is another clever conspiracy by donald trump, but of course it's about the media. everything is about them of course. they want to keep talking about donald trump. they need to keep talking about donald trump. that means sending people to prison, it's worth it. understands what going on watches the media as close as anyone does and he joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so you think that if you spend four years and saying are dangerous fascists using the tools of government to impress political opponents, if you kept saying that, you would notice the people you noted for openly started calling for punishing political opponents. why does no one call this out? >> you played a clip there earlier about accountability and have a trump accountability
9:10 pm
project that is making lists of people who have enabled donald trump and is going to stop them from getting employment after trump is out of office.do media has done really well during the trump era and in a lot of ways, you would think that they'd be celebrating but instead, they are out for vengeance rated there is thiss sort of repercussions that have to come now that instead of a celebration happening get out of office but they were a whose sole job it is came from t donald trump, people whose whole job it is to watch fox news. i don't know what the media is going to do when donald trump is out of office but i can assure you they will not be making as much money as they will havey over the last four years. >> tucker: i'm sure you've been asked this question 1,000 times and that you think about it every day, but how would they cover abide in administration? honestly, biden becomes
9:11 pm
president in january, they have to cover that. how could they not cover it but they don't want to cover it, so what happens? >> i think there were two things at play. when we already saw, joe biden is holding these press conferences and one screamed a question and he got castigatedce for doing it, no one else in the entire press pool even tried to ask a question for joe biden so i think on one level, four years of media that has really sharpen their pencils on their elbows trying to get some accountability off donald trump maybe they've got some institutional knowledge that will take you to the biden administration. i don't know. i wonder if they've learned anything, if it's going to be in the service of now we have a new administration, can we practiceo the skills that we learned going overboard, may be little bit off that? i'm not holding my breath for
9:12 pm
that and certainly nothing we've seen during this transition giving us any indication that there is any real interest in getting some accountability even in a couple weeks so far since november 3rd, has not been any press -- very few to try to get joe biden and kamala harris or any of their representatives to answer any questions.de it's completely silent so far.nt did not bode well for the potential next four years. >> tucker: or for the democracy. i don't think you can have one in these circumstances. great to see you, thank you. last night in a segment about voter fraud in investigations into it, we told you about sidney powell, the former federal prosecutor and her claim that 7 million votes were secretly changed by a vote rigged counting software. in the last 24 hours, we've heard from a lot of people about that segment including people in the white house and people close to the president. like us, they have concluded this election is not fair. like us, they are willing to believe any explanation for what happened..n
9:13 pm
like us, they have not seen a single piece of evidence showing that software change devotes. doesn't mean it didn't happen. might have happened. t means they haven't seen any evidence that it happened and by they, we are including other members of donald trump's ownha legal team. they have not seen a powell's evidence either, no testimony from employees inside theni software companies, no internal documents, no copies of the software itself, so that's where we are. sidney powell came on fox this morning and suggested we may not have to wait much longer. i fully expect that we will be
9:14 pm
able to prove all of it within the next two weeks. as far as we are concerned, that is great news. they've sidney powell can prove that technology companies switched millions of votes and stole the presidential electioni she will have almost single-handedly uncovered the greatest crime in the history of this country and no one will be more grateful for that than us. so voter fraud is something being investigated, voter fraud is something that our media class doesn't want to talk about but there are a lot of things they don't want to talk about and one of them is the origin of the coronavirus. it's not an academic question there are real-world consequences to not knowingt where it came from. "the new york times," latest in a long line of media outlets today shutting down that conversation but we have information you will want to hear next. (calm inspirational music)

9:19 pm
>> tucker: teachers unions are celebrating not because their students are doing well because they're not, they're really suffering, they are getting paid for no work. just shut down all of the city's public schools. now parents protested the move at city hall. they pointed out virtually no one in new york city schools had tested positive for the virus fewer than 0.3%, but build the bellagio was not deterred and now he says that gyms and restaurants will be closed. >> for every one who honestly might feel somehow a little better if they knew that indoorl dining would be closed, i'm sorry to tell you for the sake
9:20 pm
of those business owners and everyone who loves those gyms and loves indoor dining is just a matter of time. it's very likely to be in the next week or two. >> tucker: so you've already wrecked america's biggest city maybe you can leave now. mission accomplished, you did it, you destroy the city of 8 million people. in many business owners are vowing not to shut down ever
9:21 pm
again no matter what. they've had enough of this, it's too destructive. the owner of the gym across the river and joins us again tonight le an update, great to see you tonight. what is the latest, where you taking a risky stand on behalf of reason, logic, fairness, and the governor of the state doesn't care for it. we are you now? >> we are currently being defined personally governor murphy has determined c to pierce the llc, has fined us $15,497.26 per day. per day. it's kind of like one of those jackpots at the casino that you don't pay attention to. so that originally started as punishment for being open and then after he opened the gyms that is now punishment because we refuse to mandate masks in our facility. >> tucker: how many of your customers have died so far from the coronavirus? >> zero. a hand as of today, we breached 72,000 visits to the facility since june when we reopen for the second time, and there has
9:22 pm
not been one single case of covid linked back to our facility. >> tucker: let me ask you a a macro question because you think about the bigger thing, this disease is particularly dangerous to people who are in bad shape, overweight cardiovascular problems. i haven't heard anybody in charge of covid policy encouraging the population tope get healthy as a way to protect themselves from this disease might go to the gym. they seem to be encouraging people to smoke more weed and watch more netflix to make them weaker. why do you think they're doing that, what is this? >> covid has become a control tool for the left and if they don't have those numbers of positive tests and deaths, then they lose that control so they want me to stay at home, be afraid, be stressed out and socially isolated, drink alcohol, eat fast food because they never closed down. getting as little sunlight as possible so that they can keep you scared, afraid, and under
9:23 pm
control. weak people are easy to control and strong people both physically and mentally pose a threat to that power structure. >> tucker: if you had uttereded that paragraph a year ago and said ian smith is a nice guy, a little crazy, got these kooky conspiracy theories, i think everything you just said is not only true, but demonstrably true. you are living evidence. why wouldn't the state encouraged gyms to be open? it's really scary. >> it's to the point where i think we've reached a point where it's absolutely absurd now. just take a look at some of these health officials, the most unhealthy individuals i've ever seen in my life. i've been in the industry and i've never heard any of these people utter one word, even the most basic health practitioner whether a nurse, a doctor personal trainer would utter. they don't mention diet, they don't care. >> tucker: they want us weak
9:24 pm
that is so true. godspeed, 15 grand a day. good luck. >> thanks as always. >> tucker: back in september we talked to a chinese virologist who fled here to thee united states. she's published papers on the coronavirus transmission and some of the best scientific journals on the world and here's what she told us. >> evidence to our audience that this virus covid-19 actually is not from nature. i work with the top in the world so together with my experience i can tell you this is created in a lab. this is from owned by china and also, it has spread to the worl9 to make damage. >> tucker: to make such damage. do you believe they release this intentionally on purpose, do they do this? >> it is intentionally. >> tucker: coronavirus is not from nature, created in the lab and was intentionally spread to the world, we don't have the expertise to judge the accuracy
9:25 pm
of those claims and we know they have a background in relative science, she's credible to that extent and no one in the media has bothered to look into what she said, facebook will try to censor you for trying. today, "the new york times" published a piece of how they created a right wing media sensation. you want to know how rotten and corrupt "the new york times" ha" become of him it was legitimate not that long ago. they called dr. yang a liar and didn't say how she was lying just that she was lying.
9:26 pm
sound familiar? back in april, the exact same thing to senator tom cotton of arkansas. >> here's what we do know, this virus did not originate in the animal market just a few miles away from that is china's only biosafety level super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases. we don't have evidence that thia disease originated there but because of china's duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning of my we need to at least ask the question. one maxim he was immediately attacked and since learned he was probably right, u.s. government has confirmed there is evidence showing it did come from an infectious disease lab but here's how the media treated his question at the time.on >> tom cotton a couple of days ago spouting conspiracy theories that the chinese made this virus up trying to spool up whoever is wearing tinfoil hats.de
9:27 pm
>> let's just call crazy crazy. this is an insane thing to do. this is wildly irresponsible ani totally unnecessary. i don't know what tom cotton gets out of this. >> i remember when they traffic rumors about hiv having been invented in cia labs.af they've now found their own virus conspiracy theory. >> tucker: the far right and virus conspiracy, by the way not even attempting to address the substance of the question. it's a real question, a legitimate story and answer matters for scientific reasons not just political reasons. a journalist used to work inti "the new york times" and is
9:28 pm
covered covid as close asue anyone, thank you for joining us. why does this question matter the origin of the coronavirus why should we care and what do we know? >> we should care because i don't think there's evidence that this was man-made from thee ground up. i don't think anybody's proven that and when dr. lee said that to you, you were so taken aback. tom cotton's position makes much more sense and it's actually more important because there is something called gain of function research which is an effort to make viruses more dangerous. not a conspiracy theory, this happens. the ideas there's a ton of viruses out there, other kinds of viruses and we want to know which are most likely to cause an epidemic. some scientists believe the best way to do that is to actually make them more dangerous, more likely to leap between animal species and humans and labs. the problem with that is there's been a number of accidents and labs and there's a risk whenever you do this that you're going to
9:29 pm
create a really terrible virus and it's going to leak. we don't know if that happens with the coronavirus. what we do know is when the original came out, when emerged in a matter of months, we knew what the animal host was and we knew but the closely related animal was in this. we have no proof that the animal host was a bat, no proof where it came from, and we know this looks pretty odd. it's very closely related to a virus that we know the lab had and there's a bit of a handling virus in there. we don't know how they mixed. could've mixed naturally, there is no evidence either way. the problem is that aside from you, no one else in the media wants to talk about this. we are all pretending that the chinese have somehow proven thie
9:30 pm
is natural and we shouldn't talk about it anymore and given the t risks here in this research still going on, it is insane that we are not pushing this. >> tucker: what do i know? your explanation sounds to me like the most plausible one that this had been singled out by american authorities as reckless and the way it handled viruses, dangerous, and it escaped and they were embarrassed to shut it down and it didn't work.se >> there trying to blame the italians for this. today, they decided to try to blame the italians on the reason for that, another mystery no one is talking about, some very serious research that came out of italy about ten days ago, an italian cancer lab looked at blood samples from 2019, and they found a lot of antibodies all the way back to september 2019. we don't understand that either
9:31 pm
and we don't understand -- it's possible they made a mistake of the researchers are very serious and not clear how they would't have made a mistake. the chinese are now using that to blame the italians saying there's evidence this came out of italy. okay, that's probably a total smoke screen but another reason that it is being investigated internationally. we need an international investigation. >> tucker: research is still going on. >> that's right. >> tucker: thank you for persisting with the obvious questions, really appreciate it. it's true. it's a compliment. no one does. you needed any more proof that we are living through a golden age of television, we learn today that cuomo will receive an emmy award.
9:32 pm
not the one you're thinking of a live report from a nursing home in brooklyn straight ahead.
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
9:35 pm
9:36 pm
>> spaghetti and meatballs every sunday. i started my tomato sauce before i left. we are going to go back, sit at the table, have our spaghetti and meatballs on sunday. >> tucker: that was new york's governor andrew cuomo leading one of his more edifying press conferences back in april. you have to sit there and listen
9:37 pm
to him talk about eating dinner. not a narcissist or anything. today, we learned he is being recognized for his talents at press conferences and is getting an emmy award for his leadership. a associate editor outside a nursing home in brooklyn where the residents there are no doubt also grateful someone is finally recognizing his leadership. with lucy and they are outside home? >> i am standing outside a nursing home or in the spring 55 people died from covid. this was largely in part as your viewers have been told because governor cuomo signed a directive late march for bidding nursing homes and facilities like this from excluding covid diseased patients from admission or from testing them as a basis for admission. this led to at least 7,000 deaths in nursing homes around
9:38 pm
the state, which has seen 35,000 deaths total. whether or not this is really -- if we want to tie along, that's another question but he has presented himself as the national savior, the great hero of the covid epidemic, even found time in the last fewav months to write and publish a book detailing his heroic works so there may be a nobel prize. >> tucker: traditionally when they win gold plated statues at fake award ceremonies like the emmys, they think all the people who made it possible who suffered so they can succeed, do you think he will think the 7,000 who died under his leadership? >> in the nursing homes, they're kind of like little angels surrounding him i think, i don't know if they merit thanks, but they are there. >>la tucker: do you think the people are aware of the prize
9:39 pm
their governor has just been awarded? >> i'm not sure. i wish i could go in and interview them about it, but of course, no one is allowed to enter nursing homes, so that's an excellent question. >> tucker: outside a nursing home in new york city. if you remember the reality-based community, might sound a little crazy andrew cuomo is getting an enemy so to banish any doubts fromom your mind that he deserves it we've assembled his most compelling performances on the small screen. take a look. >> 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 were going to die. it's disrespectful of people not to wear masks and should therek
9:40 pm
be sanctions? yes. because it is a public health emergency and i think there should be a penalty. you could literally kill someone. what are you talking about? what are you talking about? now going to override. we did it already if that's the law and a red zone, follow the facts. then you're confused.rr >> tucker: every press conference sounds like you shaking down a pizza parlor for protection money, but he is not. these are policies. the last was yelling had a reporter saying that the schools might close. a couple hours later, they actually did close. that's not emmy award-winning dramatic irony, we don't know how to define it. we still don't know whether andrew cuomo's brother will also receive an emmy award, putting something of a joint performance as nursing home deaths piled up. >> is it true that this was theo
9:41 pm
swab that the nurse was actually 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: when they start doing proper comedy at cnn watch out, carrot top. you're confused about what the emmy committee sees, he's here to explain. how america's culture fascist hijacked the country. great to see you. so the emmys are decided like everything in this country by committee. what's the conversation light how does he get there?
9:42 pm
>> i thought about this when "the new york times" very first covered his initial first three press conferences, when what they said was this is like a grandfatherly hug and i'm not making this up. they said this was a hug that we are receiving in a time of grief.ug it's a hug and yet you are seeing as we've seen has not changed. new york, the state, that the democratic governor andrew cuomv has overseen has seen the more deaths than any other state. so take that as you well. i don't want to put the fault on him but if we are going to say which is what the rest of the media has said "new york times," "washington post" witches we are looking at the upticks in trump country, the surge for republican governors. i'm sorry, did you overlook the idea that we saw a lot of deaths
9:43 pm
in new york, connecticut massachusetts, new jersey. so we saw all all day but there was nothing for the virus to do but rob a bank at this point if we overlook all of that, yes. there has been a surge in republican places, but let's talk about that a little bit. >> tucker: i noticed that, butut i want to back up. you said that the emmy committee is awarding this because they believe that andrew cuomo's t press conferences on the covid were like a hug, but covid precludes hugs. that's something we are not allowed to do willfully prevent transmission of covid so do they mean this ironically? >> no, i don't think they meant
9:44 pm
to ironically because we have seen this virus has been the most fascinating and i would say it's fascinating but also complex and also really good thing that the democrats and liberals have done, which is that if i get sick, it's my fault. you get sick, it's my fault. so that's how they do it depending on what your ideology is. that's how they're looking at it, they say democrat, they are good, they did the virus fine republican or right-leaning person, that's your fault. it was fascinating and a really good plan and in some sense, it worked. >> tucker: great to see you. joe biden has already promised to forgive students debt. that means you're going to pay it whether you went to college or not but the colleges have
9:45 pm
gotten rich from this, shouldn't they have a hand in fixing it? speaking to a college professor who says they should.
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
9:49 pm
9:50 pm
>> tucker: student debt is crushing an entire generation of americans preventing them from i getting married, having children, becoming fully adults. no one has done anything about it so because of that negligence, we will get a plan written by lobbyists by the people who caused the problem in the first place that won't fix the problem. joe biden has already backed tha plan to use taxpayer money andd is pushing to go much farther than that. what they are not trying to do and this tells you everything they're not trying to get universities, the beneficiaries of this scam to pay back any of
9:51 pm
the loan money they have taken their worthless degrees. my are they pushing for that? a political science professor and a host of the report podcast, inc. you for coming on. so you're in the middle of it. the obvious question is universities take this money backed by taxpayers, all upside for them. why shouldn't they have some. m skin in this game has we try to fix it? >> they certainly should because it's about accountability and as you rightly pointed out if thisa goes through, it's nothing more than a bailout for universities and politicians that created this problem.tl when the government came in and took over the student loan industry and guaranteed student loans, universities jacked up tuition at a faster rate than inflation, wage growth, and every other sector that exists. they've also encourage students to take out more money than necessary to buy textbooks ute living expenses, and then a bunch of degree programs that are really for jobs. degree programs that may begr interesting, may be students like them, but they won't help you get a job and there's nothing worse than going into debt and not being able to find a job and having to work as a customer service representative
9:52 pm
