i'll see you bright and early tomorrow on "fox & friends" from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. have a great night. ♪ >> good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." i am mark steyn. tucker is out this evening. a couple hours ago the house of representatives increase the individual payment in the so-called coban relief bill from $600 to 2,000. enjoy it while you can. the senate won't vote for it so you'll be back to the lousy 600 bucks but instead of getting it next month, the following month, first day of baseball season, they will be arguing about it through the new year so the lousy hundred bucks will be going out oh, second quarter, third quarter. the first ramadan after the next

boxing day. 600 bucks to cover the last eight months works out to $75 per month which is pretty competitive say the average congressman's grade school allowance. no actually doesn't. 2019 average american kids allowance $120 per month. that's the truth we are playing on. you are the child. they are the grown-ups. 600 bucks from big nanny and in return all you've got to do is be grounded forever. >> health experts have warned about the dangers of traveling right now due to covid-19. yet millions of americans are ignoring that advice. >> even on this covid christmas, america's airports are packed full of people. images of some of the air travelers are fueling fears we will in fact see another surge. superimposed on a surge and a dark january days ahead. >> more travelers knew can imagine packing the airports. many people going on those vacations are going to die the

end of january. >> mark: you're going to die at the end of january. the laugh is on you, pal. you are going to die before you even get that lousy 600 bucks and when you do, they're just going to attic to the $13 million they are sending to libya to build an interpretive dance center in benghazi. that will show you. >> why have so many couples prioritized a party over human life? >> there are incentives for people to be selfish. we have people in power who are encouraging people to be selfish, who are promoting reckless reopening policies. >> and you point out, i'm going to read part of your article. call the wedding stupid or selfish if you want. i can't argue with either characterization. but there is nothing more american than a godly, expensive party that kills people. >> mark: there is nothing more american than a gaudy, expensive party that kills people. sick, murderous psycho wedding with dad dancing with his lovely

daughters, some shimmering to know the rustle of taffeta and the dapper lights of the glitter ball. instead, do the responsible thing and have an emotionally meaningless casual hook up with a random stranger you meant on thinternet. >> swiping on the dating app, being matched with someone. maybe it's fine if it's one stranger coming over. what do you say to that person? >> everybody has their own tolerance for risk. it depends on the level of the interaction that you want to have. looking for friends. put a mask on and chat a bit. if you want to go the more intimate intimate, then that's your choice and your wrist. >> mark: there's nothing i enjoy more than dr. fauci talking about holding up. that's awfully generous of the infallible fauci and the rulers in the united states congress, considering that ex-pats are now

warning of new strain of covid related super mega hyper gonorrhea. i do apologize. if you're just sitting down to eat, i am sorry for putting you off your dinner by using the truly disgusting phrase, "the united states congress." now back to super mega hyper gonorrhea. after tender hookup sent, you feel you might deserve a night off, romantic dinner at the candlelit corner table. not a chance. the golden state children place order is being extended. the $700 million windfall that you the american taxpayer have generously given to the sudanese government seems to have done the trick. unleash the awesome economic potential of sudan. the chairman of the sudan policy networks as sudan is finally

open for business. the good news is that thanks to the washington, sudan is open fr business. the bad news is california and new york will never be open for business ever again. if you are one of those manhattan restaurant owners who today sued cuomo and de blasio, it might be easier just to reopen your elegant french bistro in a more favorable business climate. such as the upper west side of northern sudan. in other restaurant industry development, the good news is that the covid relief bill has renewed the expended deductibility of a business lunch. the bad news is you have to have a business in order to claim a business lunch. you have to live in a jurisdiction that is not criminalized launching. speaking of which, san francisco bars and restaurants were encouraged to create attractive

outdoor patio areas. they could cater to the chief executives. three weeks ago outdoor dining was banned so the attractive patios now stand not entirely empty. san francisco's massive homeless population can't afford to do lunch but they can do their business in. they are being used as bathrooms says the owner of a lounge. i find empty cans of beer, needles. they have become homeless shelters and drug dens, just like everything else in san francisco. how long is this going on? not 15 days to flatten the curve. not 15 months to flatten everything else. but now and forever. >> you'll see i think in the next few weeks that we have our own homegrown strains and we have to start thinking about adjusting the vaccines. this is probably going to be

much more like a decade-long battle that we have with the flu than they once and done battle that we had with polio. >> mark: a decade-long battle. is he saying we just have to live with it? no, that's the same guy who says you're going to die if you visit auntie mabel for christmas. the infallible fauci, director of the centers for goalpost moving, has a touch of the old mission creep. >> you would need somewhere between 70, 75, may be 80. of the population vaccinated. the number that i've been using, it's an estimate. you can make an extrapolation from other infections. i would say between 75 and 80, 85% of the population. >> mark: okay but it could soon be 99.99%. how's that sound? meanwhile, what's up with the vaccine distribution? in virginia, over 6,200 people

under 30 have gotten the vaccine. only 857 virginians over 70. in massachusetts, 6,000 people under 30 have gotten it but only 715 over 70. in a state where the average age of covid fatality is 80 and whose laughably misnamed long-term care facilities were turned slaughter houses and where some are once again taking in covid patience presumably because they feel they didn't kill enough seniors last time around. in troubled times, we turn to the ancient enduring truths and celebrate the birth of our savior. on christmas eve, star appeared in the sky. they strains of joe, jim and hunter biden singing "we three kings of orient investments llc, five oh 177 corporation."

drifted across the air as the world came together to celebrate the both of a child come to save us all. >> ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ have a birthday, dr. fauci ♪ happy birthday to you >> hey, pal. happy birthday. it is joe and jill biden. >> mark: of his adolescence he read the u.s. constitution, the line of succession as well, the incumbent ruler is the commissar of contagion followed by the vice commissar and then the speaker of the centers for disease control, the president pro tem of climate change, the doctor of education of delaware and then the old guy sleeping naked in the stable in wilmington and chasing the dog around. totally unrelated news, in san francisco, there have been 173 deaths.

a 621 deaths from drug overdos overdoses. that's a 50% increase in fatal drug overdoses since last year and the additional deaths, 180, outnumber those 173 covid deaths. for some reason, that's of no interest to our all-powerful experts. our experience and is a former "new york times" reporter and author of "unreported truths." no one knows more about this subject than he does. he joins us now. alex. we've been at this for ten months. california demonstrates, they still have no ideas other than lockdown. >> yes and lockdowns don't work. masks don't work. if they did, california wouldn't be seeing 30, 40, or 50,000 new positive tests the day. and yet the response from the public health establishment is that we are just going to double

down on this and ban all sorts of stuff that seems to be totally irrelevant to the spread of the virus. the virus spreads inside. it spreads, you know, it's airborne. wearing masks is basically irrelevant to it because the size of the virus is such that unless you're wearing up properly fitted and 95 respirator or mask is basically useless. we know it and yet it doesn't seem to matter to anybody or anybody in the public health establishment. a lot of americans seem to have made their own minds up right now and you have more and more people on cnn, et cetera, screeching at the sky and telling us how terrible we are and we're all going to die when there's essentially no evidence for that either. >> mark: what's interesting. >> we are all going to die but we are not going to all die of covid. >> mark: even when someone tries to recommend a different approach, as the three value a spectacle people from harvard,

oxford, stanford did, we have the vaporized, vanished from the internet. i don't understand the logic. basically everyone, every nation except sweden has done a valiant of the same thing. is it that they simply can't admit that they got the last tenants wall? >> that's probably part of it. we have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. these people are not, they should not be in charge. our leaders should be in charge and we should be making decisions and i've said this, i really have been saying this for ten months. the job of a politician and our political leaders to balance everything. balance the needs of the business owner whose put his or her life into a business and the needs of a schoolchild who should be getting face-to-face education within needs of an 85-year-old in nursing home. the public health establishment only cares about one metric here

and that is reducing covid deaths. frankly they've done a horrible job of that too. let me tell you how strange the public health establishment has become. in terms of rolling out the vaccine, it's 100% clear that the best thing to do with these mrna vaccines would be to give them really essentially only to the people who are most at risk which is people 75 and over. 80 and over in nursing homes. very high risk of death in general and from covid. guess what. there's a doctor named helen talbot. she openly said she didn't want nursing home residents to be vaccinated first because they die so frequently that it would reduce public confidence in the vaccine if they they died incidentally. either way, who do you think is dying from covid? nursing home residents. a lot of them are dying incidentally but you never hear anybody say that. we are not allowed to say that. >> mark: why. in germany the first person they

vaccinated was a survivor of the spanish flu century ago. she's 101, 102. in britain the first person, my old pal boris johnson vaccinated was a telegenic nonagenarian. why are we not doing that here? >> it seems pretty clear there's an effort that we are going to try to push/force health care workers to be vaccinated. there's going to be out of pure pressure pressure on them. it's going to roll the vaccine out successfully. there's been a number of adverse events in those groups. your hearing very little about that. media outlets are kind of trying to play down with the cdc has some data on its website. there's been, as of last friday, it understates the case substantially we think there's been five life-threatening events reported related to the covid vaccine. we don't know how effective the mrna vaccines are long-term. not to say that there's not a place for them. but it is to say that this effort to shove this vaccine

down everybody's throats or in everybody's arms, it's just have a peace with everything else they've done with lockdowns and masks. we are going to overstate the efficacy here. we're going to understate the side effects and we're going to try to force this on people and started letting people make their own reasonable decisions. >> mark: we've got to run, alex. thank you for that. the garments entire response this pandemic spent based on the belief that the virus spreads through asymptomatic carriers. people who look perfectly healthy. a new analysis and the british medical journal highlights research in wuhan that found no instances of asymptomatic spread. fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. what do you make of this study, doctor? >> well, i don't find it surprising. it builds on other science that's been building up for weeks now that nobody's been talking about about asymptomatic

spread not being what we expected or heard that it was. with all of the attention now focused on the mutant strain coming out and spreading in london and everyone's panicked. no attention was paid out of a study that came out this week from the imperial college of london which showed no spread in the air in hospitals. everyone thinks if they walk into a hospital they're going to suddenly get afflicted by covid from the air. there's actually very, very little of that. not only hospitals. beyond hospitals, get this. early in the pandemic we all heard the number. 81% of the cases for asymptomatic. 81%. recent studies and this was reviewed in the revered journal nature, it's actually 17%. huge study a lot of australia looking at multiple other studies. 70%. that includes about eight or 9% of people that are about to have symptoms. so 8% causing a zombie apocalypse?

people are walking down the streets looking around to see if the person next to them could afflict him? all of this based on 8%. another study out of switzerland, by the way, showed a huge study just showed out of switzerland they were only about 25% as likely to spread covid if you're asymptomatic or presymptomatic. 75% more likely if you actually have symptoms. all of this brings me back to what my best source and original source of medical intuition told me. my grandma, ida. grandma ida said to me, she said watch out, mark, for people who are coughing and sneezing. >> mark: yes, that's very tru true. as we used to say in wartime coughs and sneezes spread diseases. if you're not coughing and you're not sneezing. dr. siegel, thank you as always for that.

"the new york times" is helping a teenager destroying classmates life because she uttered a racial so when she was 15 years old. the great candace owens is standing by, a little live "tucker carlson tonight" special continues. it's

>> mark: every major religion has some means of forgiveness for people who do something wrong. unfortunately the new religion of wokeness doesn't allow for forgiveness or redemption. doing something insensitive or offensive makes you a bad person permanently. one high schoo high schooler ina found that out the hard way. one of her classmates waited for her to be accepted by university before publicly releasing a 4-year-old social media video in which she used a racial slur. the video went viral and destroyed her life. she was forced to withdraw from her college and was kicked off our cheer team. she was publicly related on the internet and by the press. "the new york times" gleefully piled on to rejoice in her plate. candace owens has some thoughts

about the story. she joins us. always great to see candace. this is a harsh and unforgiving world. i would not want to be 15 years old again in this new world, candace. >> i couldn't agree with you more. i feel positively blessed that i grew up without twitter and social media where these things could be captured and children are no longer allowed to grow up and be children. let me just say this about the story because it really is indicative of just how far we are diving into this local culture. when adulterating this woke culture beyond just trying to destroy adult, be on "the new york times" trying to destroy conservatives and republicans in finding tweets from 25 years ago. now they are going after children. we are talking about a girl who was 15 years old and we should say she used the slur not directed towards black people, not meant as a means of being derogatory but she used it to be cool, right? she set it in the same context that rappers say this word all the time.

cardi b, she's not black. she is hispanic. drops this word virtually after every line in every song she has. this girl didn't understand the nuances she is supposed to take in the culture and think it's cool but she can't say that word when she's trying to say to her friends, look how quick william. i've got my learner's permit. that's the context. look at me, i can drive and then she used a racial slur. rather than taking it as to teach her a nuance we have a bunch of adults piling on and a child, another child who should also have been taught and stopped and said, why are you holding onto this video for years to make sure that you can extend the most damage to a child? to me that's completely sadist sadistic. that is what woke-ism is. it's not about actually trying to heal the society of any ills. it's about going after people and trying to cause them the most public, vicious, hurtful harm to them down the line and

now we have the universities in "the new york times." this is sick stuff we are talking about. >> mark: why is it important to take out the 15-year-old and say governor northam can dress up as a klansman or justin trudeau can sing mammy songs in blackface and they get a pass. a 15-year-old girl no one's ever heard of doesn't. >> that's exactly right. we could talk about joe biden, legislation he has imparted. you can look at any university and go back in their past and they want to have policies that were actually racist against black people, against jewish people. you don't have to go back far. you can go back to the progressive era. all these universities have a horrible history. they are not closing their doors. they forgave themselves but gone fofor for bid a 15-year-old girl is growing up trying to be cool in using a word we have allowed in the society to be culturally okay depending on color your

skin is. >> mark: yeah, depending. you can of a society where some people can use words and others can't. thank you for that, candace. great to see you and have a terrific new year. him up next the desire case of hilaria baldwin. hilaria baldwin. the exotic foreign wife of actor alec baldwin who spent years pretending to be spanish. it turns out she's actually from massachusetts. plus, the pandemic is forcing many talking heads to broadcast from their homes and people are paying attention to the artfully arranged bookshelves behind them so that they look smarter than they are. that story and more straight ahead on "tucker carlson tonight."

welcome, today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste. >> mark: we all love alec baldwin. wait a minute. is there something wrong with

the prompter? on "saturday night live," alec plays president trump. just like the president alec baldwin has an exotic misses. he married an authentic spaniard born in mallorca. that's how authentically spanish he is. she knows how to pronounce a double l is a y sound, not mallorca, if she was from say massachusetts. she also has the hilariously authentic name of hilaria. >> how is married life? >> married life is really nice. it feels different. it really feels different. i didn't think it was going to be different. the entire morning i was walking around him before i knew that all the photographers were going to be out and everybody thinks me. why are you so calm? i said what is there to be nervous about? what is going to go wrong? >> mark: she likes him very much.

>> ay-y-yi i like you very much. >> mark: she is so authentically spanish that she has difficulty remembering the english word cucumber. >> very few ingredients. we have tomatoes. how do you say, cucumber? we have red pepper. we have of course the critical onions. >> mark: try to remember the word for cucumber. when she's not forgetting cucumber, senorita baldwin sinks her favorite spanish songs such as ave maria. ♪ ave maria >> mark: wait a minute. ave maria isn't spanish. it's latin.

close enough, you haters. that's what mrs. baldwin is being given, the bird. it turns out hilaria is plain old hillary. not even with a double l like that hillary who pretended to be named adverse or admin hillary. this hillary was born not in mallorca but in boston. boston, massachusetts. her family has lived there since the revolution. the american revolution, not any old spanish one. one appreciates living with alec baldwin poses challenges and one can imagine how an otherwise well-adjusted might retreat into a fantasy world. where he's the deranged sadistic man in the red bolero jacket but it's a sad comment that so many people are so dissatisfied with

their own heritage. next thing you know they'll be a half indian, half jamaican raised in montreal claiming to have celebrated kwanzaa all through her childhood. full disclosure. i was actually raised in topeka, kansas, and if the show went on 1115 minutes i wouldn't be able to keep up this unconvincing accident. the coronavirus has forced many tv personalities to transform their living rooms into television studios. he didn't take long for these guys to realize they could class up the joint by filling them with dusty, never opened hardcover books. here's "the new york times" in march. speak of the bookcase has emerged as a background of choice for politicians, executives, celebrities, and anyone else hoping to add a touch of authority to their amateurish video feed to. >> it tells us with they are intellectually curious about, how much they are following the trends and how much they sort of have their own pursuits.

the one that really got me is cate blanchett's complete 20 volume oxford english dictiona dictionary. i think we always thought of her as a rare creature in that heightened the sense. >> mark: got to love that cate blanchett. some people are actually paying professionals to arrange and dress their bookshelves so they can look as smart as cate blanchett. they show up with rows upon rows of dusty hardcovers behind them. it's turned into something of an industry in washington, d.c. steve krakauer is an editor of the fourth watch and we always enjoy releasing the krakauer. i can't stand this. it sums up everything that's most grotesque and pompous and portentous about the buffoon american media. >> not only that but it's a perfect 2020 story to

encapsulate all of that. self obsession. also stuck at home and just looking for the validation online. who on twitter is going to say that your resume backdrop the best. it's pure vanity. it comes to mind this twitter account which i've written about. there is a guy, 300,000 followers. he takes screenshots and rates the rooms of pundits and cable news and reporters and all they do is retweet it and share it. this is a guy who mother jones called a resistance huckster trying to raise money for his left-wing super pac. no one really cares. all they care about is, i got a 9 out of 10 on the room rate or account. it's ridiculous and so pandemic 2020. >> mark: that's the new pulitzer. i was watching the bbc the other day. that was my first mistake. they went to their deputies southeast asia chief economics

editor in singapore wherever she was and she gave her report and she had a fair mantelpiece withn empty bottle of wine on it as if she just loved it beforehand if i've got to tell you i've got no use for th bbc but that seeme a more honest statement of wher. >> at least you have some authenticity. reporters and editors can be sitting there condo or their vacation home in cancun now and have a fake backdrop. there is something meta-about this because here i am a pundit opining on the pundits. these people used to getting a black car and driven to the studio to get their hair and makeup done. sitting in the chair, getting their ear periods. now they are stuck at home and trying to make the best of their situation.

to get there 5 minutes of fame on cable news of the bbc. it's sad that this is the media in 2020. all they are looking for is twitter mentions and trying to shout out from the room rater account. >> mark: i really don't want to know what jeffrey to vent has on his bookshelf. >> don't pan down. >> mark: [laughs] i don't want to know what he's got on any of those shelves. thank you, steve. happy new year and mar lawmakers including billions of dollars for special interest groups and pork barrel projects in their so-called coronavirus relief package. somehow congress prefers women serving in the afghan military to american citizens. most outrageous examples of this phony baloney think law after the break.

♪ >> mark: our elected representatives in congress have buried all for some bizarre

provisions into this year's pork bill which includes the latest round of so-called coronavirus relief in addition to $600 checks for most americans, congress banned the postal service from mailing e-cigarettes and vaping fluid. they found millions of dollars for gender programs. in pakistan. a five-year study on poverty in el salvador. the legislation bans resource doping and creates a national center of excellence for liquefied national gas safety. those are some of the provisions of the bill. no one read it. no one can read it. nearly 6,000 pages. it passed anyway. charlie hurt is an opinion editor at "the washington times." we haven't been so clueless to make make and read this. god almighty, charlie. it was a condition when i emigrated to this country, u.s. immigration made me promise that i would not foment the overthrow of the united states government.

this swampy, swampy, swampy bill. i'm in a fomenting mood. have at it. >> truly incredible. when you go to the list of things paid for in this bill, it's enough to make you lose your mind. i have to say to me the most appalling part is the fact that they are going to give a $600 back. they are going to give us $600 back? we are supposed to say thank you for this? $600 of our money that we made. of course it ought to be a whole lot more than that. if you want to give us our money back to fight the pandemic about don't take it from us in the first place. of course they will never do that because they always want the money to flow through washington so they can take their scam. the make and give it back to us. and then we can be thankful for them giving it to us. >> mark: come on, charlie. you know your grandma 600 bucks could easily have been added to that program that lindsey graham is so excited about, the

pilot program for taking a child to work day. whatever it is. i don't understand why republicans talk as crazy as democrats about the stuff. not just lindsey graham but what's his name, john barroso in wyoming. he talks about co2 no differently than aoc does. >> well, i mean, the truth is they are all disastrously out of touch. also you know, i mean, this is a very serious question. name for me one single thing, one single, look around you. look at yourself and your neighbors and everybody around you, everybody has made enormous sacrifices in this past year in order to deal with the pandemic. name for me one single sacrifice that congress has made or the federal government has made to accommodate this very serious crisis. very serious pandemic. serious health crisis that

threatens all of our lives. name 31 sacrifice. i don't think you can pick a single one. you know, you look around in this entire year, all of the lawlessness, all of the very angry people in the streets breaking the law in order to make statements about things. what if america actually, the taxpayers, decided that on apria little lawlessness of their own and just not pay their taxes. >> mark: well, you start to feel it's come to that. the one thing they could have done, since you asked, they could've said okay, we are going to set aside the small and the pork just to show we are taking the covid seriously. i don't know why people don't just raise the city to the ground and if anybody misses it, with all the money we've given to sudan, they can build a washington, d.c., theme park out in the nile desert. anyone who misses it go there and visited. it would be great for sudanese tourism.

>> the sad truth about it is if you did that, nobody would know it was gone but for the media, no one would know the federal government was gone for about three years. >> mark: that's very true. charlie, thank you, have a great new year. outdoor dining in san francisco has become a madness for that city's booming homeless population. that to report next

♪ >> mark: many restaurants in san francisco, california, built sidewalk patios that allowed diners to eat outside. now the city has suspended outdoor dining and those patios like everything else are being colonized by the vast homeless population. the city has approved $5,000 grants to reimburse small

business owners for verisign while structures. going to do be the money up by a race to advance the city's "equity" goals. jason rantz is a radio host of expert on the dying cities of the west coast. jason, what's with this racially targeted reimbursements for these patios? >> it's kind of what we've been seeing across the country. slap the term equity in front of it and basically it gets you a pass to say we were going to choose who to help on the basis of race. of course if you were to same we are only going to help white people, there would be outraged. there should be outrage. that would be outrageous. this is social engineering. this is "we have too many successful businesses that are not diverse enough in san francisco," what we're going to help the ones that are struggling. the problem is literally every business in san francisco, like much of this country is struggling, at least if your restaurant. this is the perfect intersection

of thoughtless covid policy and progressive incompetence when it comes to homelessness. first you essentially force restaurants to pay out of their own pocket. it's the only way they can stay open and survive but using no data to justify your position you end up closing down the restaurants and outdoor dining completely. what does that mean? now you've got the structures were homeless people are hanging out, living in, shooting up income using his toilets, and you've caused all these problems now for these restaurants that they have to clean up. they are the ones who are going to have to take care of it. the city is letting homeless people just run amok. choosing only to help certain folks. it's patently unfair. >> mark: why do you think anyone is still in the restaurant business in san francisco? you've got, you stick the lockdown end and take the lockdown out. in, out, in, out, you shake it

all about. it's the lockdown hokey pokey. the rules change. it's not like the hard-core lockdown in march. we've modified lockdown. you never know with the modifications for next week will be. why does anyone still bother being a business they are? >> you definitely have a lot of restaurateurs, these is people in general asking themselves this question. they came to tampa cisco with a dream of opening the restaurant, opening the business. they find themselves in a horrible situation. they are still a mystery they love, city they are hoping will turn around. so many of us are. they don't know what that breaking point is. unfortunately due to the policies coming from, whether it's san francisco or any other progressive leader, you're pushing people further into the direction of deciding it's not worth it anymore. it's a shame for the cities, the soul of the cities are on the line right now. >> mark: that's a good way to put it, jason.

a hole in the soul. thank you very much for that report from our beleaguered west coast. thanks for downing us up for the special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." tune in every night at 8:00 to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. tomorrow night we have a special report on the georgia senate candidate raphael warnock. he's about point ahead of kelly loeffler in the polls and he's embroiled in an abuse scandal regarding a camp he once ran in georgia. don't miss that. also don't forget to dvr the show if you haven't set that up already. that will do it for us for the night. have a terrific evening. oh, you're in for a treat for the next 60 minutes. look who is in for sean hannity.
