mike: thank god paul is doing well after his open heart surgery. thank you for inviting us into your home, that is it for special report, merry christmas to all of you who are celebrating. i am mike emanuel in washington, the stories next with a special unknown valor. good night. >> welcome to a special edition of tucker carlson. merry christmas. if you are spending the final days of 2020 with the ones you love congratulations. that wasn't easy. a lot of powerful people trying to force you to remain cut off with your family, sad, solitary and dependent on the state, they told you you had to be alone because of the coronavirus but it is more than that, something about christmas drives a certain bureaucrat completely nuts and it is only unregulated joy, the

idea of small independent families following their own cheerful customs away from central control, who knows but whatever it is the impulse has been around for a long time. hundred years ago america faced another global pandemic, the spanish flu. then as now there was never any evidence christian holidays played a significant factor in the transmission of the virus. in 1918 it was the first world war that did it, troop movements around the world but the authorities attacked christmas anyway. beware the mistletoe, wrote the director of the ohio state health department in december of 1918. you will show your love for dad and mother, brother and sister and the rest by sticking to your own home instead of paying annual christmas visits, no

celebrating, they said. science has spoken but people celebrated anyway, the human spirit persisted, the human need for fellowship and warmth and the familiar touch of other human beings, stores in 1918 remained packed with christmas shoppers. one newspaper reported at the time the churches were especially well attended by worshipers thankful for the safety of loved ones. public officials at the time hated all of this, they wanted lockdowns but the public wanted to live so they did. hundred years later not much is changed. the one thing that is different is democracy itself. our leaders no longer feel the allegation to convince the rest of us of much of anything, ignore their own rules and when they are caught they feel no shame, tell halfhearted lies they don't expect people to believe, they don't care. this summer the federal government produced a video bragging how much they lied to you. remember all those ventilators we urgently needed in this country, the people would die

without, the ventilators, remember those, whatever happened to them? here is where they went. when a crisis arises america acts but not in our interests, that big cargo plane was flying 1000 ventilators to indonesia, a faraway country. average cost per ventilator 20,$000 with our elected leaders that was a bargain because the indonesians were not simply taking them off their hands, they were the racing evidence of our leaders incompetence, ventilators are in indonesia. this kind of thing is so common now that nobody notices, the video you just saw was uploaded to youtube in september by the u.s. air force and in the meantime has a grand total of 75

views, two from our producers, the rest probably from indonesians wondering what this cargo plane was doing unloading medical equip and they didn't need. no one thought it was remarkable but it was remarkable. a few months ago our political leaders he united on one point turned out to be wrong, the point was we don't have enough ventilators, tens of thousands of people are going to die unless we pay for more ventilators right now. >> sending 400 ventilators. really? what am i going to do with 400 ventilators when i need 30,000? you pick the 26,000 people who are going to die. >> thousands of people did die in new york in nursing homes because of the man you just saw, governor andrew cuomo but not a single person died because we didn't have enough ventilators,

not in new york, not anywhere but forget that, not important i tell you with a straight face. think of all the indonesians we are saving despite the fact they don't need the ventilators either. why do they tell us things like this? because if they never told the truth it is hard to tell when they are lying. remember we learned about the medical ship that pulled into new york city in march, the comfort. wasn't exactly a subtle arrival. we were told we needed it desperate, every member of the 1200 member crew and every one of those thousand hospital beds, this was a crisis the experts told us. >> expecting 50 patients today to be admitted on board the comfort. we are talking about some 1000 hospital beds but their greatest asset are the 1200 medical personnel, nurses, surgeons, doctors from all up and down the east coast.

>> that was march. we knew much less then than we know now. what is infuriating is no one ever goes back and compares the estimates to the reality. you heard the estimates, 50 patients a day but the time the ship left a full month later the comfort had treated a total of 182 patients in a month. not 50. down the street from the comfort the army corps of engineers converted new york's convention center into a hospital, thousands of hospital beds went unused so how much did all of that cost you? has anyone bothered to ask the question? know because nobody cares. for the last half of this year our government did more to help indonesians than small business owners in this country, the ones paying their taxes. at a certain point the question becomes why are they still paying taxes? is there a reason any small business owner, any restaurant owner would voluntarily send a single dime to the internal revenue service, they are paying for police who are not allowed to do their jobs and doing it

for the benefit of politicians who explicitly hate them. they are getting nothing in return so why are they paying taxes? people are beginning to ask the question. mc fark are owned a bar and restaurant in minnesota, a small town, total population 448. at times she opens her restaurant for nondenominational church services. those are two mortal sins in modern minnesota, allowing people to weed and allowing people to worship. for doing those things the state of minnesota is finding her hundreds of dollars a day, suspected her liquor license. meanwhile indian casinos which are not paying the taxes she is allowed to operate like there is no pandemic at all. how has this happened and what is the scene in havens garden, this dangerous restaurant, why officials in minnesota so

determined to destroy it? we took a look around. there is no violence inside, no one was throwing rocks or spray painting buildings or chanting blm slogans was maybe if they were the place would stay open. this is what minnesota officials consider clear and present danger to the safety of their state. ♪ that case is not unusual. we talked to many business owners all over the country and they told us the same story. dave morrison the upper midwest is tried for months to keep his business open, the daily grind café. he's got no help from the government. instead government officials have worked overtime to destroy him and he has had it. watch. >> several months of frustration

and i think i'm speaking for a whole lot of millions of millions of americans speaking for here, our so-called leaders that are using our tax money to pay themselves while instilling policy upon us to ruin our businesses and our lives, not making much sense to me and after months and months of watching this they put me in a position where you are back in a corner so far we will come out fighting a little bit. >> that man was caller than he probably is inside and put it crisply, you can only be backed into the corner so far. in some cases that is literally true, it was true in september when a school resource officer tasered a woman in ohio for the crime of watching her son's middle school football game in the stand. she wasn't wearing a mask, but she wasn't sitting near anyone. she wasn't hurting anyone. but authorities decide the safest course of action was to assault her violently in front of her child.

>> get off of me, i will not! i'm not doing anything wrong! get off of me! get off of me! i am doing nothing wrong! >> taser over a mask. tucker: noticed the other men in the stands did anything to stop that. we try to suspend judgment in moments like that, people make mistakes under pressure, we give the benefit of the doubt particularly to law enforcement but there is no way to look at that video and not be appalled because it is disgusting. and yet here's the amazing thing. authorities and elected leaders in the state of ohio were not embarrassed when the video came to light. in fact they went ahead and pressed charges against alicia kit for the crime of watching a

football game sitting alone without wearing a mask. she had a pretrial hearing last month. to her great credit she refused a plea deal. she knows she did nothing wrong, she didn't topple a statue. she didn't lose a store, she didn't towards wendy's. she believes in this country are to be allowed to watch your kid play football and be free from attack for doing so. her trials in january. i hope she will come on the show. the prosecutors in ohio will enjoy every minute of pain-and-suffering they inflict upon her all while continuing to collect the salaries she pays for. it is infuriating. it is not sustainable over time. to make we are going to devote most of this our to highlighting stories of people who wouldn't go along with this, who stood up for their freedom even in the face of profound personal and

financial cost. these people couldn't have been lawbreakers 6 months ago. we forced them to become lawbreakers but before we get to their stories we wants to take you back to christmas 1918. in many ways 1918 was a very different time. it was a harsher world than, no internet to entertain us. modern medicine was a long way off, people died of minor infections, most had no indoor plumbing yet at the same time millions of americans were confronting the very same things we endure today. a global pandemic, government imposed lockdowns, financial ruin and sometimes death. here is what a british newspaper advertiser and journal said to its audience at the time, quote, for life on this old planet will always be a struggle, to most of us a better if triumphant struggle so to all our readers a happy christmas and bright and hopeful new year. we send the same wishes to you.

the author of your emotional support animal navigating all our woke no joke culture, a lot about the effect of lockdowns, we have been talking to you since the first day these wins no effect, we are at the end of the year. what is your assessment? >> it is said that small business owners have to become the french underground because big business and big tech and big government are all sort of colluding to squash small businesses so i think our last chance, small businesses and small businesses standing up. >> the french underground, that is stiff. how long did it take you to connect those dots? so many things happened at once. we had the arrival of the coronavirus, the lockdowns, the blm riots. how long did it take you to kind of figure out this was the small

and powerful against the week? >> i didn't think of it until last night when i was watching an episode of hogan's heroes and it came together for me. tucker: glad i asked you that question was what a great show. how do you think we are going to come out of this? >> people are going to have to stop apologizing for everything. somebody figured out on the left that if you accuse people of endangering other people by being selfish, open your business for outdoor dining, we can get everyone to shut up and it worked for a long time but at some point for people getting their finger wagged at them constantly, talking about taxpayers, parents, business owners, fine, call me a racist,

call me a zeno phobic, say i endangering people, i am no longer apologizing, don't care what you say anymore. the boy who calls wolf, calls racism, calls everything, at some point we will hit a saturation point and the honest people, hard-working people, business owners have to rise up and go i don't care what you call me. >> it may be emotional listening to you say that because you are right, thank you, that was inspiring. >> thanks, merry christmas. tucker: back in april we did an unexpectedly remarkable interview. we talked to a man who owns the brewing company in maine, state officials told rick savage he needs to close his business for

health and safety reasons. walmart and home depot and other big-box stores were allowed to remain open because they're the ones who send the money to politicians, that is just how science works but rick savage almost alone among business owners did not go along with that. he came on his show and announced he intended to defy the order. >> we had enough of it. we encourage all businesses to open up. we should never have been shut down in the first place. we need to open back up, get the summer tourist business going or we will lose a the restaurants, who knows how many hotels and other businesses. we are advocating everybody, not just my restaurant, time to go back to work. tucker: for the crime of saying that in public, for complaining, janet mills made it her mission to destroy rick savage's life. she took away his liquor license, he reopened just so the courts could fine rick savage, she had the restaurant shutdown completely. rick savage still lives in maine, still standing, joins us with an update on where his life is now, thank you so much for coming on.

where -- you really took a lot of abuse for that episode on the show. where are you tonight? >> right now we don't have any licenses. we got shutdown for two weeks for the food license so a day before we open up and serve food, department of health and human services sent an email stating they would never give a license back again which was december 19th so we have gone to court over that and after that they said they would not give a liquor license again because of our character. we were in court and the judge asked the district attorney what the merit was behind by giving us our license and she said because they think we are going to violate it in the future. >> your character. if they don't like you you can't operate a business in the state of maine. looking back on april if you had taken the course so many others

took which was to go along with it and take the orders and not respectfully to the authoritarian in charge of the state you have your restaurant open right now. do you regret telling the truth in public? >> not at all. we are going to open back up, opening up, as normal, we are going to not serve alcohol until after the 20 eighth of december because that is what the court order wasn't after that going full course business as usual and what is pandemic behind us and try to do business as normal. tucker: they had to crush you, they had to wreck your life because if they allow you to complain in public maybe others would do the same thing. do you feel singled out? >> no doubt we are being singled out. we had 35, 40 inspections, undercover agents, we had a 9:00 curfew, i haven't even been there but they are watching my

staff come out of the kitchen making sure they have masks, ready to go back to work and have this behind us and move on in the future and get covid-19 behind us and this lockdown is killing us. tucker: if you can survive this it would be an inspiration not just to your state but to the rest of the country. merry christmas, thank you. it is almost like the people in charge decided to nullify every part of the bill of rights, freedom of us and we, freedom of speech, the right to defend yourself so just a matter of time before religious liberty was a laminated. and it has been. one priest threatened with arrest if he had mass at his church but he fought back, we will tell you how he did next.

♪ >> tucker: tucker: welcome back to a special edition of tucker carlson. hard to believe this could happen in this country but it has. officials in new jersey threatened a priest with jail if he held mass in his church. the priest was kevin robinson, a catholic priest, robinson responded by filing a lawsuit against phil murphy and joins us with an update on where things stand. your job is to help people worship their god. you tried to do that, the state threatened to arrest you and you filed suit. where are you? >> thanks for having me back on. we did shutdown for two months, but i went to confession

counseling, no harassment from any local authority. at the end of may and a few sunday outdoor services back into the church with distancing and people started coming. we more than doubled the congregation but keeping sanitary and some distancing and blessed and your program helped. in a week of your program the president called for reopening of churches and the governor has been modifying his orders, the latest one, 192 and even admitted the first amendment should be taken into account, freedom of religion respected. some good news since then. tucker: the size of your

congregation has doubled. we are seeing churches teetering on the edge of going under but yours has doubled. why do you think that is? >> people are looking for truth, holiness, courage, conviction. other churches are restricted if not closed altogether and people are coming to us, very grateful, the supreme court backed us up last week. >> so many haven't done what you did which is gently resist and stand on principle and rights as americans. what is your superior saying? >> he was happy the lawsuit went through. our own churches had to close longer than we did but we were able to get back on board, the local police, many gallons of hand sanitizer, lawyers and

police in the parish, really good people and the thomas more society took this all the way to the supreme court and you know what happened just last week. the supreme court said simply that you must treat churches as favorably as other businesses. at the end of november there was a brooklyn decision against the governor and the supreme court, vacated the local district court refusal to grant us an injunction which prohibited the unfair limitation of churches to 25% capacity with 100% or 50%. the district court to reconsider, clearly false decision. tucker: thank you for doing that for your congregation in the

country. thank you for coming on tonight. >> thank you for promoting it. tucker: it is heartfelt. thank you. earlier in the show we told you about a particularly brave business owner defining orders to shut down. he joins us.

jillian: house speaker nancy pelosi will try to get the full house to back the president's demand for $2,000 stimulus check. republicans blocked his demand in a rare christmas eve session, democrats at rollcall vote but members on record as to where they stand. congress was anxious to see what action the president takes on a $1.4 trillion government funding bill, could lead to a government shutdown sunday night at midnight. columbus, ohio officer faces dismissal in connection with a deadly shooting of an unarmed black man tuesday night, cell phone video shows the victim holding his cell phone in his left hand, he bent down within seconds, the officer had not turned on his body cam, they recorded the feature with audio.

back to tucker carlson. >> the hypocrisy of the people in charge is so glaring, so completely over-the-top and flamboyant it makes your head spin, doesn't seem real. california restaurant owner recorded this video. >> everything i own is being taken away from me. they set up a movie company right next to my outdoor patio. how is this dangerous but right next to me is a slap in the face. that is safe. tucker: that is the story of so many small business owners struggling to survive lockdown orders.

lavina owns havens garden restaurant, defined the state's shutdown order and she joins us tonight. thank you for joining us. you are in this little town, you have a restaurant, you open to nondenominational church services. don't think anyone has gotten the coronavirus in your establishment, why are they trying to do that? >> the reservations are open and they have food dining, the governor closing them down under usc code 2500231. lawyers arguing equal protection fourteenth amendment and the truth is i have no idea why they are trying to shut small businesses down, minor of my businesses are able to be open.

tucker: it is heartbreaking but also infuriating because the taxes you pay are the lifeblood of people trying to destroy you. you are funding them to apply the law unequally. why are you still paying your taxes? >> good question. pay because that is what americans do. we tried to pay our taxes on time but as of right now we can't because we have no influence coming in and glad you brought that up. i had a court date wednesday and the state was arguing the reason the reservations open is because they have to pay like taxes, they don't call it taxes, they have to feed their families and the judge citizen that the same thing lavina is arguing for? that is why i was confused when she ruled against me. we are all in the same boat, fighting to survive and i don't understand why the governors picking winners and losers.

everyone is essential, every life is essential. i don't understand it. the respect he has for small businesses, even airports are open. the restaurants, there is no difference. i wish i could answer these questions. i wish i could say this is the reason why but when there is no rhyme or reason for i don't know how to answer that. tucker: you answered the big question which is is every life essential? yes it is. you go into something with that in mind it is hard to go wrong. that occurred that may be the people who own the airport restaurants or casinos may be bigger donors to these politicians than you are. >> exactly. we like to talk about it but not in public but we know that is what is going on, walmart, they

get to stay open, the small mom and pop businesses are struggling as i get calls from other businesses, losing everything, calling on our government to do something about it and he puts more and more restrictions. don't know if you heard the latest, we are allowed to open up outside in the cold of minnesota winter. i don't understand what our governors thinking unless he's not from minnesota and doesn't understand the weather patterns. tucker: i hope you do as much media as you can. i think it will affect others. thank you for coming on, appreciate it. no one ever says it out loud but on a deep level all of us know it, the end is coming for all of us. with that in mind how should we live?

mike is one of the few public figures, will talk about it.

♪ >> tucker: welcome back to a special edition of "tucker carlson tucker: will contact withto specialization of tucker carlson, government officials praise the chinese modeling responding to the coronavirus and put millions of fellow americans out of work. earlier this month we talked to a man who has fought a lot about work and he explains another approach. it turned out to be one of the more interesting conversations we've had this year as we asked

him to come back and expand a little bit. mike rowe is the host of one of the biggest shows in social media, the way i heard it he joins us now. great to see you. safety third, those words have been reverberating and my head ever since you are on. as people go into new year's and think about how to approach 2021 translate that idea to the posture they should bring with them. >> we have a tendency to overreach with everything we try to correct. we always go too far. safety first platitude, the trope has been with us for a long time and it relies primarily came out of an attempt to improve occupational safety and the emphasis whenever you

see a safety first banner or a safety first presentation, you will see a lot of emphasis on walls, regulation and compliance but just because you're in compliance doesn't mean you are out of danger. that is one of the great lessons from dirty jobs, something most people don't disagree with who have been out there in the world. saying safety third is not to suggest we should engage in risky behavior that is not necessary, just an attempt to inject some personal responsibility into the equation. the unintended consequence of saying safety first to a worker over and over again and again, the unintended consequence of tell your customers their safety is your top priority is to create a level of complacency that negates the role of personal responsibility when it comes to coming home in one piece so that is the basis of

the conversation. i put it on masks. i love the irony of the cloth mask that says safety third that allows you to be in compliance but will probably not keep a microscopic germ from getting into your system or out. tucker: the most some for something i have heard in a long time. go ahead. >> not just subversive but diabolically opportunistic and capitalistic because we have sold thousands for a work ethic scholarship program, 300,$000 as a result of safety third masks, people who understand they need to be in compliance even if they are not out of danger. it opened a mind-boggling

conversation online, thanks for starting it. it kept the conversation lively. tucker: it also suggests there is a point to life distinct from preserving it. you can live it at some point too. >> i mentioned in passing an essay, how to live in the atomic age. he answered a similar question in 1948, how are we supposed to function knowing that the bomb is out there? the answer is the same way you function when you don't know if the vikings are going to show up on your swords and rape and pillage. this thing we have dealt with this year is a serious thing but it is one more thing. it is not a new thing even though we call it novel.

it is another thing that can frighten us and terrify us and put us in a place where for a brief period we will treat our safety like it is the most important thing but fundamentally we are not a safety first nation, we are safety third nation. we take steps and do things along the way to focus on our long-term presentation and that is smart but not sustainable. you can't live your life as if the entire purpose of your existence is merely to stay alive. tucker: i don't know how it felt to you to be one of america's most important philosophers. >> kind of a big deal. tucker: merry christmas. the question is you can't have a lockdown order without enforcement which many of these orders are completely illegal. how much longer will police officers and force them? that's a real concern for elected officials.

tucker: welcome back to a special edition of tucker carlson. deborah birx of the coronavirus task force broke her own rules that you are supposed to abide by to spend time with her family

as one of her vacation properties. need another example of a ruling class telling you what to do while doing the opposite? there you go but the hypocrisy raises the question how much longer we will tolerate? the answer appears to be not much longer. when andrew, restricted thanksgiving gatherings to 10 people several sheriffs in the state announcing we will not enforce that because it was illegal. one of them was fulton county sheriff who joined us with an update. you explain an illegal order and you are bound by law and conscience not to enforce illegal orders. where are you now? >> where i am now is interesting, the supreme court, you can't restrict religious

organizations to 10 people and have strip clubs and bars of 50 people. you can't take off executive order and pretend it is a law to loosen people's hopes. you saw across the country law enforcement officers, sheriffs stood up and said it is unconstitutional and illegal, they spent 6 months telling us law enforcement is bad and needs to be reformed, law enforcement gets up in the morning wanting to hurt people and we are sending them to your house to count how many you having thanksgiving. makes no sense. tucker: you are telling the same story we keep hearing again and again, you are one of the rare people to stand on principle and law and say i am not going along with the program and you were vindicated in the end. why didn't more people do this in your position? >> some people are afraid to stand up.

i got criticism, we are experiencing post-thanksgiving surge, the same people who believe doctor birx, anthony fauci and the cdc saying you told people to gather and have big parties, i did not. i said we will not use law enforcement, overreach by governors across the country. the common theme is they want you to submit like when we were kids and wanted you to say uncle, do as i say, not as i do and if you don't we will come after you. tucker: if you don't they will come after you so good luck to you. hope you are okay. they don't like it when you disobey. >> can i just say one thing? i want to acknowledge, wish merry christmas and happy holidays to all the law

enforcement officers, 800,000 plus in this country who do their job after people spit on us, tried to kill us, say we are racist and want to shoot people in the next day we get a 911 call in law enforcement goes no matter what your race or religion is or politics or gender. merry christmas to you. congratulations on being the third most influential member of the media in this country. tucker: officials in new york trying to figure out how to destroy the independent businesses called restaurant. they band into a dining, send cops to chase out bar owners but a few new york restaurant owners remain unbowed and one in particular, in the middle of the lockdown. and act of boldness joins us from his outdoor dining band with a message to people trying to destroy his livelihood.

great to see you. tell us your message. >> new yorkers are resilient, new yorkers are strong like the individuals you listed in that intro. we are not going to stand up, we are not going to lay down. we are going to do what we need to do to survive. to offer not only the safest experience but also one of the warmest in new york city. i am standing live in the warmest table set up in new york city, this is our personal, heated holiday -- it is a merry christmas. tucker: i never use the word pluck or moxie but you have both in spades.

are you going to be able to stay open? are you going to survive? >> only time will tell. we are booked and we are very fortunate to be booked because we created a great community. this area of the upper east side, loving and warm individuals, supporting on go fund me page for people who come later on to redeem them for cocktails we have a cocktail here called the vaccine and it is flying off the shelves, we are just reading more vaccines than pfizer. amazing to see the response. tucker: no one is afraid of your vaccine. >> with any good vaccine a lot of testing is required.

tucker: you are doing is longitudinally. great to see you. merry christmas to you and happy new year. we will be back soon, the ones you love first. >> sean: welcome to the special edition of "hannity." merry christmas to you and your family. >> merry christmas to you and your family. we bring you the most important monologues from the past few months. my message to america on institutional corruption, the media mob's blatant double standard. an important message about the powerful institutions that are and have been hurting the country we love, we long reported over the past two decades the democratic party weaker establishment republicans, bureaucrats who never knew they had this much power.
