"tucker carlson tonight" is up next. ♪ ♪ >> welcome to a special edition of harpo carlson tonight. it was a year ago this week tha nancy pelosi was walking the streets of san francisco china dan without any concern whatsoever for her personal safety. nancy pelosi's face was stark naked. she wasn't wearing a mask and neither were the dozens of people who surrounded her. local cbs affiliate was following all of it. but even the coronavirus already spreading all over the world in places like france and south korea, now we know in the u.s. cbs didn't suggest anything was amiss. they didn't report that nancy pelosi was a walking biohazard or super-spreader.

why would they think that? just days earlier tony fauci had gone on television and promise to america that the risk of coronavirus infection in this country was minuscule. so if tony fauci's word meant anything at the time that people thought it did, and nancy pelosi walking around chinatown was not alarming but heroic. as one cbs reporter said that nancy pelosi was a one walking tourist attraction with the pathogen far more insidious than the coronavirus. nancy pelosi was in chinatown to defeat racism against asian-americans. pelosi herself was explicit on that point "we want to see the people come to chinatown. here we are, we are saved, come join us. in other words if you are worried about catching the virus by gathering in chinatown you are a white supremacist." so after that remarkable day what we have we learned? we know despite the best efforts, nancy pelosi does not

succeed in extinguishing antiracism against asians in sa francisco. in fact, a year later, violence against asian-americans in san francisco was the highest rate ever. so if you are a reasonable person, you might call for an investigation into this. what is causing these attacks and how can we stop them? if you tune into the cnn or msnbc, you know where they are happening. donald trump. yes, the great orange menace may not be in the white house anymore. he may not have gotten any votes at all in san francisco, but don't be fooled. donald trump is the reason this is happening. and that since a larger message to the rest of us from the political class in the media. never blame the people in charge. that is a familiar refrain. you've heard it a lot over the last 12 months. for the most part, it has worked in propaganda usually does. that is why we spend the next hour highlighting politicians and the bureaucrats who have not been held accountable for what they did to this country during the pandemic.

they have rental lives, they destroyed businesses, they caused people to die. but if you confront them on any of these questions, they will tell you it is somebody else's fault. no single politician has used this tactic more often or more shamelessly as the governor of new york state, andrew cuomo. cuomo accepted an emmy award for performances like this when the pandemic was beginning last spring. >> strategy, plan of action all along, step one, flatten the curve. in other words, we are all talking about this curve flatten the curve. >> we are trying to flatten the curve. >> and we have to flatten the curve. >> we reduce the rate, so called flatten the curve, flatten the curve. >> tucker: flatten the curve flatten the curve, we did, we flatten the curve. that is a great slogan but what does it mean exactly? what does flatten the curve? not many people bothered to ask. the new version of 15 days to slow the spread.

just a series of words arranged in order so politicians can repeat them over and over and chores to do something to fix the problem. in reality under cuomo spent most of his time with interviews with his brother on cnn and steppers write a book under his name. that book was called "american crisis: lessons from a leadership from the covid pandemic." we took a look at the top customer reviews for the book and amazon.com, people who read it and that top review right now "a heartfelt and caring look how to murder people through bureaucratic institute." governor cuomo self-serving book raises embarrassing questions politicians being human make mistakes and andrew cuomo made a serious error that led to thousands when necessary tragic death in nursing homes. should a politician like cuomo have a moral obligation to admit his error even in this case likely to lead him losing his position?

that is a good question. doesn't he have a moral obligation to do that? march of last year, he ordered to admit patients who tested positive for the coronavirus. then cuomo's administration hit the number of deaths that resulted from that order. we are not speculating about that. one of the staffers admitted they did it. but andrew cuomo himself still does not acknowledge that he did any wrongdoing whatsoever and said last week he blamed the people who work in nursing homes. >> covid did not get into the nursing homes by people coming from hospitals. covid got into the nursing homes by staff walking into the nursing home. >> tucker: so case closed. i am not responsible for the 11,000 nursing home deaths in new york or the coordinated effort to cover up those deaths. you know who is responsible?

the nurses, the receptionists making $35,000 a year. they must suffer in their lives are in so andrew cuomo can keep his job and emmy award. but we don't need to single out andrew cuomo. he's not the only incompetent politician who needs to save face and light to others to do it. there is a lot of it waiting for them. if that means isolating the most vulnerable members of society more than they have already been isolated, then that is the cost. it is collateral damage. a price they were willing to pay because they don't pay it. this is a real article published by nbc news earlier this month. it lays out word for word. you are reading from it verbatim. "after grandparents her older parents receive the coronavirus vaccine, can you visit them? the answer is likely no, but it depends, one expert from northwestern university said essentially nothing changes after the vaccine."

again, nothing changes after the vaccine. it is hard to believe they are saying this. and it's not just one so-called expert from western saying that. tony fauci himself is saying it to, "until we have that majority of people vaccinated and the level of virus is very low fauci said this month comic you shouldn't visit your parents without your mask on. it is too early to be given something that reckless, human contact with the ones you love most." breaking people out of prison of solitude of them i don't dare even after the vaccine. tony fauci wants to take it slow. on the other hand, fauci is acting quickly as long as the right interest were he is profiting from it or his allies are. we will give an example. tony fauci has decided without hesitation whatsoever the world health organization deserves billions of your money right away. u.s. tax dollars. the world health organization is the group that could have won

the rest of the world about the pandemic to save lives. but chose instead to repeat chinese propaganda instead. your grandmother can wait according to tony fauci, but bureaucrats and w.h.o.'s headquarters in switzerland need the cash and they need it now. >> i join my fellow representatives in thanking the world health organization for its role in leading the global public health response to this pandemic. and as such, i am honored to announce that the united states will remain a member of the world health organization. >> tucker: what a malignant baffoon. history will indict his behavior . so you are still waiting for your stemless check. and those not waiting aren't getting it but not just w.h.o. according to "the daily caller," the lab in wuhan with this pandemic likely started, will continue to receive american taxpayer funding for the next several years.

it is hard to believe that is real. it is. tony fauci himself has supported research at that lab. it is enough to blow your mind. again, the people responsible for this pandemic are not facing consequences but instead u.s. tax dollars. the consequences fall where they always do on the american middle class. so if you unleash a deadly virus on the world and appease your masters in china, you get millions. but if you are just sort of waitressing in brooklyn dealing with the fallout of all of this and you step out of line for a moment, you're done. >> the 34-year-old said she was fired after telling her employers she and her husband considering starting a family. she had hesitation about getting the covid-19 vaccine. >> do you think it is fair for a workplace to determine whether or not it's employee should be vaccinated? >> i don't, i don't.

you know him especially in a situation like mine. i asked for a little bit more time with very legitimate reasons. >> tucker: yeah, this is someone who doesn't oppose vaccines. who is thankful for vaccines like most americans, but simply as questions. that person is suffering. is that fair, no but it's happening everywhere. the person in charge of the country politicians, bosses especially bill gates, all of a sudden they have more power than they've ever had over your personal life. certainly over the lives of your children. they can't go outside or attend class in many states right now. but don't worry, it's for their own good. the president of the american federation of teachers and the second largest teachers union she's not a doctor, not a scientist, she's a lawyer. but according to randy weingartner, medically speaking your kid should not be near the school. >> is there a point kid should be out of physical and in person school for so long that the education that they have lost is

not really recoverable? that the third grade, the fourth grade, the kindergarten they lost, they can take extra some semesters in the summer but it can't be fixed? no, i don't believe that. i believe that kids are resilient and kids will recover. >> tucker: really, randy weingartner, how many kids do you have? kids will recover. but another promise during this pandemic get the vaccine in your life will return to normal. that wasn't true. why should we believe any of this is truth. who will be held responsible for these lies? we will spend the next hour investigating all of that. you will hear from people who have been heard along the way. we will start tonight by talking with charlie hurt of "the washington times." charlie, great to see you. >> great to see you, tucker. >> tucker: that is the question. i don't think any decent person seeks inventions for its own

sake, but i think it is important to illustrate what is right and what is wrong. and that malicious, bad decisions have consequences and the people made those decisions somehow held accountable for them but when and where will that happen? >> i don't know but you look across and you see a sea of incompetence and failure by the government. i challenge you to find one single thing, one single decision or government has made for people in power have made that has done anything other than amass more power and more money for themselves. take power and money from us and give it to them. and they can counter and say what about the stimulus checks? we give you $600. first of all, the $600 was mine to begin with someone not all that grateful for it. but that $600 pale in comparison to the billions and billions of dollars, trillions of dollars that they want to in debt and that they want to put on notice to pay themselves.

what do they do with that money? they build a huge wall around the capitol to protect themselves from us. they want to give billions to the w.h.o. as you pointed out is a failure and is in bed with china. and they want to -- and this one sticks out to me -- they want to give $129 billion to government schools which have failed to figure out how to open safely. why don't they give that money back to the parents who have had to act like teachers? have had to play that role this last year? why don't they give that money to christian schools, catholic schools around the country that opened up two weeks after this whole thing started and never shut down and have done it successfully and safely. nobody and people have not gotten independent. struck down millions of these people. it has been -- they have succeeded where the government has failed. and when you look at the only bright spot in all of this, the

only bright spot is perhaps the vaccine. how did we get the vaccine? we got the vaccine because the government has stepped out of the way and gave private enterprise the room, the leeway to do all that stuff. but yet, the only solution to these people is to unmask more power and more money for themselves and to take it away from us. >> tucker: such a smart analysis. it is absolutely correct. provably so this is a paragraph i wish we would have known earlier. charlie hurt, thank you for your analysis, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the theme that runs through all of this the people in power are more powerful and everyone else is much less. the burden has fallen on them. we mentioned a waitress in new york city fired for refusing to take the vaccine. we will speak to her next.

>> tucker: until recently bonnie jacobson worked in a restaurant in new york city. she is hardly an anti-vaxxer whatever that is. she has for vaccines and think it saves lives but she wanted to hold out for a moment to take this vaccine and she wanted to learn more about it and she was concerned it might affect her fertility and making that decision over her body bonnie jacobson was fired from the tavern in brooklyn. bonnie jacobson joins us with her attorney, david cassidy. thank you for coming on. bonnie, i appreciate first to you coming on but the reason i want to talk to you, you seem so reasonable in the clip that i saw of view. you, i want to get vaccines but i just got married and want to have children.

i have questions. when you said that, i assume you said that to your bosses at the redhook tavern, what did they say? >> thank you for having me on and allow me to tell my story because i think it is an important one. so yeah, originally they had said the vaccine was not going to be mandatory. and i got an email changing course telling me it was going to be mandatory. even when i got that email, i figured it was open to a conversation. so i emailed back to express my concerns over fertility and even in that email i said that i understand that vaccines are important and i can understand why they are important, but i need more research. i would be opening to change my stance on it and be happy to speak more about it in person and also i think it is important to mention that i gave an alternative option and said i would continue to get tested

regularly. i would continue to wear my mask and practice all the cdc safety guidelines in the meantime. thinking that we could just continue a conversation, but instead, on monday, i got an email back from them saying that my employment at this time was terminated while they respect my choices. >> tucker: as her attorney the obvious question, is it legal to force people to take any vaccine but particularly this vaccine? >> well, tucker, thank you for having me i want to make clear this is not a political agenda here by our client. >> tucker: right, it doesn't sound like it. >> legally speaking, equal employment opportunity said that mandatory vaccine policies can be legal subject to a few exemptions such as someone having a medical disability or religious objection. we feel that this particular termination of employment was unlawful because our client

invoked issues of pregnancy fertility, which are also protected areas of the law. this firing was neither fair, it wasn't necessary, and it was unlawful, quite frankly. our client asked for a little bit of time to get some data to see a medical doctor and to understand the risks they did not allow her at the time. so it wasn't necessary, this termination, because you pointed out, it doesn't change anything. the only person being protected by a vaccine according to the cdc and public health officials is the person receiving that. so our client is willing to employ the necessary protocols to remain working. >> tucker: i hope you take this as far through the system as you can. i think a lot of people -- and it's not political, you are right. we are rooting for you because it is clearly within your rights. i appreciate you coming on thank you. >> absolutely, thank you so much. >> tucker: you notice you have total choice ending a pregnancy but starting one with fertility no, interesting.

the patsy's italian restaurants the most iconic in new york, but since coronavirus and everything they have to destroy businesses like it, and sadly they are succeeding. patsy's italian restaurant is leaving new york and moving to new jersey. and the owner of patsy's tonight to explain what happened. i appreciate you coming on and what a sad story. you've been in new york, how long has the restaurant been open? >> 77 years and just to be clear, we will not be leaving permanently. i plan on coming back and reopening when the city gets a plan for us right now. we are doing a pop up restaurant in asbury, new jersey for february, march, and april right now. it has been going very well. i love new york and i'm rooting for new york it is the epicenter for education, arts, and so many things.

we need a plan for new york to come back. my wife likes to use the word opportunity. so we have the opportunity to go to asbury park, new jersey. and a friend of mine lives in a town very close by, spring lake new jersey and his name was john fudge and i called him up and i said the, what do you know about as very park? it is wonderful place, 15 months in new york city and my friend john fudge used to be a child of that area and had a store in as barry park and knew it very well. two and a half month quite miraculous to put together to deal with the man field family from the real housewives of new jersey, the food and beverage of the berkeley hotel as barry park. if you words led to another and patriarch has been coming for 30-40 years. i would love to have you down

here. we opened a few weeks ago and i have to tell you the response has been overwhelmingly positive. everybody want us to stay there. it's been a great thing and we've been very, very busy. i try to look for solutions and the solution for new york is we have to get opportunities back to new york's tense incentives for people to come back and travel and stay at the hotels. >> tucker: sorry, wrap it up for me. your issue? >> the 1.4% is spread in the restaurants and bars. and you have 74% not even spread. note, you haven't had which consistently one of the lowest rates of infection in the highest state of new york. it is closed and that upstate new york, suffolk county, much higher rate of infection and it's open. so what is it? you will not get the virus in long island or upstate new york but you will in new york city? it doesn't make sense to me. >> tucker: it never made sense.

it never made sense. well, i appreciate you coming on tonight and i appreciate your restaurants, thank you. >> we will be back, don't give up on me yet. >> tucker: good, thank you. a lot of so-called public health experts including dr. fauci recommending you wear multiple masks, two, three. is that good for you? honestly to reduce oxygen flow? we will take a look at that question after the break.

the fbi has identified a main suspect in the death of capitol police officer. he died after the capital right on january 6. the new york times reports suspects responded on video using bear spray against police officers. agency recently began a chemica irritant led to his death right >> tucker: no public health official has done more to undermine faith in the coronavirus vaccine than tony fauci has. instead of telling americans like to go back to normal when vaccinated, which was the whole point, fauci is saying the opposite. earlier this month, you might want to wear two or three face masks even after you got the shot. >> you wear a mask. you want it to fit better. so one of the ways you could do it if you would like to is put a

cloth mask over, which actually here and here and here where leakage in is much better. >> tucker: that is lunatic and actually one scientist pointed this out. records medical center was asked about triple masking and here was his response "that is so crazy, i don't even know how to address it." alex berenson is the author of "the truth of covid-19 part 3: masks." thank you so much for coming on. this is very simple question which i don't think google will allow to us but we will, is it healthy to wear three masks on your face? >> tucker, first of all, i want to quickly say thank you. the last time i was on with you was the week that "power couple" had been published. we talked a little bit about how i couldn't get reviews and certainly shut up because of my

nonfiction work, my novel was suffering. you said something about it and i don't want to give you too much credit, but you single-handedly turned around the publication that week. it became a best seller's on the publication's best sellers list. thank you on that. >> tucker: we appreciate your bravery. >> i think they listen to you actually. but masks and a little bit of vaccines, okay? we don't really need to argue about whether or three masks might be dangerous. there was no evidence that three masks do any good. there is very, very little evidence that two masks or three masks do any good. and there is one that came out in november, it's been very conveniently merrihold by the media since them. what it showed was masks do not protect the wearer from the coronavirus, okay, so when the face of that before and after that, the cdc and various other places have come up with a bunch of theories about how masks are source controlled, my mask protects you even if it doesn't protect me although maybe it

does protect me and although it doesn't really because there's no evidence that it actually does. here is when you look and tried to grasp mask mandates on a national or regional or local level against changes in the coronavirus over time, changes in infection rate, you find absolutely no comparison. no way to track any, that there is any relationship. california versus florida, that is one that people like to show because california heavy mask mandate, lockdown, lots of rules. florida went exactly the opposite way. the virus essentially behaved exactly the same in both places. okay so in the face of all of this evidence, what the cdc has done is ridiculous. they said, well maybe not one mask, but may be too masks or three masks. the pivotal cdc study which came out a few weeks ago was done on mannequins. so if you are a mannequin may be two masks will help you but if you are a human being, there was basically no evidence this does any good to.

>> tucker: alex berenson thank you again. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: according to the cdc life expectancy declined 78.77 years old and the first half of 2020 the largest drop in life expectancy in this country since world war ii. and there was a reason for that we were being killed. the cdc found many deaths not caused by coronavirus. about deaths of despair. they were deaths from overdoses suicide, depths and despair went up 20% for the covid lockdown. the cdc recorded fatal overdoses and a single year 81,000 than ever, ever! the author of "lost connections" has talked a lot about despair and how to solve it. we are always happy to have them on. thank you for coming on tonight. were you surprised by this? i know the answer, you weren't. what can we do about this. this is so sad. >> this is so right. this academic despair that it

has been rising for a very long time. one of the things that is important to understand is this doesn't have to happen. the research, i went to places that had problems as big as this and turned around. the united states can do the same thing. i will give you ask specific example. in the year 2,000, portugal had the worst problem in the world one person of the population was addicted to heroin, which is mind-blowing. every year they tried the war on drugs peer they rescued more people, every year of the problem got worse until finally forced to do something different. they decided and it sounds bold when you first hear it. they decided to decriminalize old drugs but, this is the cruel, crucial next step peer they took all the money they use to shaming, punishing, and imprisoning people in practical ways of turning their lives away, mostly getting the jobs. and went from having the worst problem in europe to the least level of overdoses and the entire european union.

everywhere in the world that has tried policies based on helping people and helping them reconnect with the normal life sees a big fall in despair and a big fall of overdoses and addictions. it is not rocket science. if you make people's lives works they will be more addicted and likely to despair and commit suicide. if you give them very practical help in targeted ways to things like work, community, social connection, it massively reduces these problems. the opposite of addiction is connection. we need to help people to reconnect. that is why the book is called connections. >> tucker: so if you restore meaning and purpose to people's lives, they don't want to kill themselves. >> that is exactly right. to your mother and my grandmother, that would have sounded obvious. what we have done is we have told his other stories, which have some truth in them. depression is just a problem in people's brains or addiction is just a question needing a chemical. of course, there is some truth on those questions, but there is

much more basic truth. human beings have needs. you need to be seen by other people. you need to have friends. you need to have a sense of purpose. you need to have meaningful work. if you look at what is happening in the united states and across the western world, we have strip people of those things. 40% of americans agree with the statement "no one knows me well." after factory shuts down in a town, the suicide rate in overdose rate doubles over the next few years. this is not rocket science. your grandmother understood intuitively why that was a case. everywhere in the world, i learned one thing the most effective strategies is dealing with depression and anxiety and addiction. of the ones that deal with the reasons why we feel this way in the first place. these deaths do not have to happen. of course, there will be some despair but enormous economic despair does not have to be happening. there are practical solutions to individuals and countries and i've seen him in practice and we

need to start choosing them, not policies that make the problem worse like the drug war. >> tucker: great to see you tonight, thank you. >> great to talk to you, tucker. >> tucker: you are promised a coronavirus nameless check. wherever you are on the stimulus check, they did promise it to you. if you haven't gotten it, they are sending your money to award the people who may have caused the coronavirus pandemic in the first place. as if it could get more insulting. apparently, it can. we have the details ahead. ♪ ♪

in march, for example, a report of hong kong news station and reviewed the general at w.h.o. and the reporter asked howard when the w.h.o. recognized taiwan's independence, it doesn't seem complicated to the health agency. why did they care? their job is to hold people no matter what country. but the w.h.o. decided not to upset the chinese communist party and to tow the party line. so you couldn't hear the question. >> will the w.h.o. consider how it wants membership? hello? >> i couldn't hear your question. >> let me repeat the question. >> no, that's okay. let me move to another when. >> i'm actually curious about talking about taiwan as well taiwan's case.

really established independence from chief patron in china. >> oh, absolutely not. and this is playing politics with people's lives, tucker. think about this, taiwan's halt the danger early from china because all danger in taiwan most of it anyway comes from china so they are watching across taiwan straits to see what evil lurks on the mainland. they saw the wuhan virus coming. they closed their borders earlier than any country in the world. they realized human transmission. they tried to warn the world health organization about this danger. they were ignored. the world health organization did not read their emails and did not take their phone calls. again, this is playing politics with people's lives. if the world health organization have been controlled by the health of the world, they would listen to the information and

sitting on china's doorstep and watching the pandemic materialize in real time. >> tucker: a so-called help organization allowing people to die for political reasons. it is hard to think of corruption deeper than that. why would we send the money? >> why, indeed? we are getting ready to repeat the same mistakes of the past by sending $200 million $200 million for what? for failing to protect the health of the world, which is their mandate, right? they are called the world health organization. maybe they should be called the china health organization. but think about the fact that early on, dr. ted derose, you just played the clip, was going to china and singing the praises of the chinese communist party leader xi jinping, saying what a wonderful job they were doing in dealing with the pandemic. they hid human to human transmission from us. they downplayed the danger of the pandemic and then, of course, they sent into china this delegation of 12 people who came back and said, well, it

wasn't the lab. it didn't come from the lab, but it probably did more and more people agree with that. >> tucker: it certainly seems likely that it did and anyone who tells you that it didn't, we know was obviously lying. steven mosher, great to see you tonight, thank you. >> great to see you. >> tucker: a close contest two was the dangerous governor in the united states gretchen whitmer of the united states? it is probably andrew cuomo. he does have competition though. the stories of the leaders untold incompetent straight ahead. ♪ ♪ our retirement plan with voya, keeps us moving forward. hey, kevin! hey, guys! they have customized solutions to help our family's special needs...

country demonstrating total and utter incompetence and corruption over the past years. he's got some stiff competition. in michigan, governor gordon winter has done issued a stay in a home lockdown order that didn't apply to her own family. became obvious on memorial day weekend when her husband felt the need to get in his boat so he called the marina and casually mentioned "my wife is the governor," when caught doing this witmer claimed her husband was joking around. but she kept going, gretchen whitmer. she had more nonsensical lockdown orders, none of which she had been following herself. >> if you are considering spending thanksgiving with people outside of your household, i urge you to reconsider. i hate to say it, but we know that some people will gather anyway. and odds are that some of these gatherings will spread covid and contributed to the loss of loved

ones. >> tucker: two months after delivering the warning you just saw, gretchen whitmer took her daughters to washington and was surrounded by people outside of her household. she was cavorting with strangers. as everyone knows, especially california governor gavin newsom, that's one thing you can never do. >> i want to remind you limit your mixing with people outside of your household beer that's common sense but the data suggest not everybody is practicing common sense. >> tucker: the data suggest not everyone is practicing common sense. gavin newsom himself was caught at america's most expensive restaurant in napa in this infamous photograph but how long until everyone in california and york gets tired of this hypocrisy and move to florida? joe markowitz she currently lives in florida. tonight. these governors have driven the
