'Unreported Truths' author Alex Berenson tells 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' US 'can be Sweden or we can be Spain'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Less then, an hour
from the first presidential
debate of twenty twenty taking place in
Cleveland Ohio. Earlier this
month, Joe Biden claimed that
Donald Trump, the sitting
president, is responsible for
every single death in the
United States, caused by
coronavirus
Biden looked at the data, the
fact checkers confirmed it, so
he went with it
of the president had done his
job done his job from the
beginning. All the people would
still be alive im not making
this up. Look at the data
im, not making this
up
Joe Biden said to
we know coronavirus will play a
role in the debate tonight. Of
course, what will they say
about it?
Alex Berenson is the author of
unreported truths about Covid 19
and the lockdown come apart.
Two we are happy to have him
on tonight.
Im wondering what you think if
you were Donald Trump and I have
no idea what your political
views are but lets say you were
advising the president tonight.
What would you tell him to say?
Donald Trump has never been
able to make this case, but what
Joe Biden has said is clearly
untrue. All over Europe, whatever
strategy they pursued theyve
had roughly the same death rate
as the United States.
If I were Donald Trump, I would
say we can be sweet and or we
can be, Spain,
Sweden, didnt lock down. They
got through this. They have
almost no new cases. Now, even
the New York Times today, just
posted a story about how well
Sweden is doing- or we can be
Spain,
Spain, locked down early, they
lock down hard, they had
terrible unemployment, they had
more deaths than Sweden and more
deaths than the United States
per capita and guess what,
after one of the hardest
lockdowns in the world, a
lockdown that cost our economy
to contract by twenty three percent in the first
and second quarters combined,
basically the worst performance
anywhere in the world now
theyve unlocked and because
they didnt allow the epidemic
to take its natural course. They
are having a second epidemic
right now.
By the way, Spain today had more
per capita deaths than the
United States. Forget Sweden,
more per capita deaths than the
United States, its not even
close,
and there was a riot well
say, a violent protest. Last night
about an effort to impose a
second lockdown, which they
really dont even want to do, but
they are afraid they are going
to have to do in parts of Madrid
and people are so blown out by
whats happening to the economy
there that they dont want it.
If I were Donald Trump, I would
say you go ahead and be Spain.
You listen to Dr Fauci and
impose another lockdown if
thats, what you want and impose
a whole bunch of stuff, thats
never been proven to do
anything im going to go with
Sweden im going to go with
Arizona and Florida im going
to let people live their lives.
Americans trust their
health care system to take care
of them to get sick thats.
What happened in the sun belt
this year and guess what
and a lot of the sun belt
people are back to living their
lives.
The unemployment rate in a state
like Georgia is less than half
of the unemployment rate in a
state like New York. Right now
Eve seen the
governor of Florida almost make
that case out loud
Florida took a huge amount of
grief. As you know, for the past
several months, and now the
governor is saying we did the
right thing by not getting hysterical,
hysterical, thats right.
What I call team reality the
what I call team reality. The
people who understand the data
and have looked at this for the
last six months need to push
back and they need to schools
need to reopen they open all
over the world. Why arent they
open here
lockdowns were never proven to
do anything effective, except
possibly delay the spread here.
Why would we consider that
again?
Lets forget masks. Lets, take
masks off the table right now,
no lockdowns, ever again, no
school closings. We are going to
get our kids back to school
if youre rich, your kid is
getting education right now,.
