Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight, sometimes a single picture so perfectly crystallizes a moment that you want to hang it in a museum as a testament to history. Dorothea, Lange, a posthumous photographs of migrant farmworkers in the 1930s, were like that they captured the suffering of the great depression, great depression, more powerfully than any government report ever. Could the image of the second flag, raising over Iwo Jima was so powerful that we cast it in bronze the memory of the grit and courage of our Marines in the second world war? Those images summed up entire periods of american life. So what sums up hours? What picture tells our story? Well tonight, weve got it for you decades from now. Our descendants will look at this one image and know what it was like to live in America in the year twenty twenty. We will show it to you in just a second but first some context. Gavin Newsom is the governor of California, our largest and for a long time, are most prosperous

state about forty million people lived in California. So far, two of them under the age of eighteen have died of the Covid 19 virus, so naturally, Gavin Newsom has shut down the entire state. Businesses are shuttered, people wear masks, even as they eat. Large groups are forbidden to congregate. Thanksgiving itself is on its way to being canceled its a tough boy to live, but Californians have no choice. This is science, people and Gavin. Newsom is Californias epidemiologist in chief, he commands obedience and the serfs obey. With that in mind, the chronicle broker pretty amazing story. This week the governor recently attended a birthday dinner up in one country at the fresh laundry one of the best and most expensive restaurants in the world. There were twelve people at his dinner and civilians. Thats number seem to be a clear violation of his own rules, but, as we were told it really wasnt, it turns out that he was simply celebrating the birthday of a longtime friend of his a lobbyist, actually called Jason Kenny.

A spokesperson for Kenny described the night. This way this was a small intermittent held dome of twelve percent and are held outdoors with family and a few right to salary to fifty birthday, in other words, no big deal for his part. Governor Newsom was indiscernible. Our family follows the restaurant health protocols and took safety professions. So really, ladies and gentlemen, it was nothing just a small, intimate dinner held in nature under gods, blue skies, just a few right, staying safe and following the protocols to the letter, as mandated by the state that, in fact they run so relax people, no one is getting Rona here. That was the story. Another photograph. We have the picture thanks to Fox eleven in LOS Angeles, one of the rare local stations, but still does reporting its a picture of the birthday dinner up in Napa. It turns out it was not held outside. It was held in a private room and not a spacious private room either all twelve people were packed in

tight shoulder to shoulder breathing on each other, no social distancing here, not one of them is wearing a mask. A steam room in central Hon could not be more contagious than this dinner. Gavin Newsom Us Birthday Party was a germ factory and his guests were human petri dishes, but what a guess list it was next to governor Newsoms at the CEO of California, Medical Association and one over from him. One of the states top health lobbyists together. The two of them are present tens of thousands of physicians, credentialed men of science and women of science in the state of California. So if youre wondering why, if you live in California, you cant have Thanksgiving this year or visit your mother, she dies alone in the hospital. It is because of them and people like them, and yet there they were eating three hundred dollars. Truffle, pasta and living with this pandemic thing never even happened. The picture of them doing it known. Henceforth, the history as

the french Laundry photograph is the year twenty, twenty condensed to its essence. Here you have plutocrats dining with lobbyists, ignoring the very orders. They are so self righteously imposing others gorging themselves in seclusion, as the people theyre supposed to be helping with her and die and then when they are caught, they lie about it. How perfect is that its all there? Every element- hypocrisy, greed, selfishness, stupidity. This is our national moment in a single picture, move over Dorothea Lange, so whats Gavin, Newsoms explanation for this picture interested in equal time. In fairness, we will show to you next. I made a bad mistake. Instead of sitting down, I should have stood up and walked back got in my car and drove back to my house and instead I chose to sit there with my wife and a number of other couples that were outside the household.

You can quibble about the guidelines, Et Cetera, Et Cetera, but the spirit of what im preaching all the time was contradicted, and I got to own that so I want to apologize to you. Oh yeah, when I sought, I should have just walked out, got in the car and driven home, okay Gavin with no idea there would be a dozen people at your own party youre the governor, but you never saw the guest list. You were totally shocked, thats ridiculous, its too stupid to be an explanation and we are stupider for pretending to believe it. Why not just tell the truth, which is I dont, really totally believe everything I say at least not enough to let it interfere with dinner thats the truth. You know what he knows it, but hes forcing us to play along with an absurd lie. On the other hand, at least Gavin Newsom didnt follow the lead, Nancy Pelosi and blame the restaurant. He didnt accuse the Maitre d

of setting him up as part of a conspiracy among the famously right wing restaurant community in Napa. If the french laundry probably wont, suffer the same fate as Pelosi fostered as hairstylist, at least as long as they stay quiet about it and to credit Gavin Newsom didnt follow the example of Dianne Feinstein. She has refused to answer any questions as she parades around the halls of the United States, Senate and private airport terminals massless and exposed breathing on people infecting them no explanation for that and to be fair once again, Gavin Newsoms Ex clinician, though, obviously untrue is still better than what his body the lobbyist the die. They worked on that guy they were having the dinner for has come out with through a spokesman. He said the guests specifically requested outdoor seating and it was provided by the restaurant indoor seating. Rather it indoor thats what they really were doing. He is saying they were outdoors, but now we have a picture

showing that and he still claiming it. No, it was outdoors, in other words, ignore the walls and the roof. What looks like inside was actually outside got that up is down black is white war is peace, trust me, not your lying senses. If only the criminal paddle borders had thought of that this spring police in California hunted down a lone man, paddle boarding in the Pacific ocean. He was off the coast of Malibu, probably infecting the seals they saw this. They got on boats, they alerted the Coast Guard and in sheriff put this criminal in handcuffs. They arrested him and threatened him with six months in prison for breaking corona laws in the media in California treated it like. It was totally normal across the coast in California, five in handcuffs for bad behavior, one man arrested in Malibu for paddle boarding in the Pacific, while twenty two sunset seekers in

socal were cited for trespassing on closed beaches, they literally put him in handcuffs for paddle boarding alone. They didnt even claim it was a threat to marine life. They didnt even make up a pretext. They just did it and like seals, everyone applauded so the paddle border gets arrested. Gavin Newsom gets to dine in peace whats the lesson here. You know the lesson: if you want to live like a human being, youve got to get elected to something, and then you can break your own rules, otherwise, dont even think about it. Heres l dot a mayor, Eric Garcetti, explaining how he will handle people who dont obey. This has really been marvelously, embraced by ninety nine point: nine percent of people. We see it in the traffic data, the cell phone data, but we are going to hunt down that last zero point. One percent and say youve got to get inside, youve got to cut it out and you got to distance yeah youve got to cut it out, get inside and youve got the distance, and if you dont cut it out, Eric

Garcetti will cut your power just like they do in China, no utilities for you, Corona Phelan. If you want to break the law, you have a nonstretchable itch: go ahead and loot target or torture fast food franchise or beat up an old lady that is federally protected political speech, but authentic human contact, you mark only the ruling class, gets that. So what is this exactly its hypocrisy? Of course, that word is not big enough. This is not conventional hypocrisy. This is lets stop lying an act of hostility against the population of the country. They despise you they are flaunting it. This is how people who dont like you behave. They force you to do one thing: they do another they get caught, they are not embarrassed and they keep forcing you to do the thing theyre not doing thats an act of hostility. They dont like you last month, for example, we learned that Gavin Newsom was sending his own children to private school.

He made sure they could get in person, classroom education and, of course he did there, his kids, he loves them, and he knows what we all now know that children dont learn anything by remote sitting at home on the computer screen. It hurts them at best. It makes them weird. They dont learn a thing. At the same time, he was sending his own children to class in a real school. The public school districts which he is in charge of all over the state of California remain closed because he ordered them closed. Why did they do that? There was no science didnt bother to explain it. Schoolchildren dont face a meaningful risk from this virus when children contract the virus, CDC Data show that their survival rate is over. Ninety nine point: ninety nine percent thats, not a tv term, in this case its a scientific term, it literally ninety nine point: ninety nine percent teachers and other adults under the age of seventy have, between a

ninety nine point, five and a ninety nine point: nine percent chance of surviving again, not estimates real numbers from the federal government, thats science, but nobody cares about science anymore. A few hours ago, the mayor of New York announced shutting dominations largest school district, not because children are in peril of suddenly becoming ill in huge numbers. They are not. He did this because a rolling seventy average of positive coronavirus tests in New York City went over three percent: not deaths, not hospitalizations hospitalizations positive tests, which, in the overwhelming majority of cases, mean nothing so thats insane, obviously, but its accelerated Washingtons governor Jay Inslee says we are going to have to cancel Christmas, but we are going to do it in the name of love its just too dangerous to gather together indoors, where the virus can spread so easily. So this year, when you join us

in changing your thanksgiving in December holiday plans, please know that you are doing it as an act of love, laughs. An act of love, says Jay Inslee, the politician lawyer. What do politician lawyers know about love, not much normal people know that love is impossible if youre forced to live alone in isolation and fear fear now, in an ideal world, we would all be at the french laundry laughing and eating with our friends. It sounds wonderful.
