Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight hope you had a great and relaxing thanksgiving weekend away from the endless drone of news. If you somehow managed to pull that off a few bay days of peace and happiness with the ones you loved, you found its like a spa treatment and better off, for it also wondering what happened. What did you miss over the weekend? We are here to tell you for starters: Joe Biden broke. His foot in a couple of places sounds serious, but dont worry about it. Biden was just out playing with his dog as healthy, vibrant adults in full commands of their faculties and not at all fragile and fading. Often do it could have happened to anyone seriously. Totally normal CNN in fact wrote a piece congratulating Biden for it. Bidens injuries are far better than Donald trumps. So dont ask questions. Have you bigger stories to worry about in the news landscape? For example, did you hear that Joe Biden picked women to lead the White House Communications Office? That was historic moment.

Nothing like that has happened in this country since the presidency of Donald Trump. Another triumph for the forces of identity, systemic sexism final live in retreat. Nothing can stop Joe Biden from smashing the glass ceiling, not even his dog thats, what you missed. Oh one, other thing: the countrys public health establishment has tortured your children for eight months for no apparent reason that happened. That story has not received a lot of coverage, but its been confirmed tonight. The authorities have admitted it. Sixty million american children languishing in their rooms since spring sitting in front of screens learning nothing isolated from human contact. In many cases driven to mental illness. We can now report. There was no reason for any of that. The experts were wrong. They had no idea what they were doing, but the most amazing part- and this really is the headline of the story- is that they knew they were wrong when they did it, but they kept lying about it.

Even as american children began to kill themselves on Sunday in New York City officials all but admitted this, they announced the reopening elementary schools, whose are the same schools that they closed fewer than two weeks ago. Now, from a medical standpoint, nothing has changed. New York didnt get an early shipment of the Pfizer vaccine. There wasnt some ground breaking new research paper that revolutionized our understanding of the coronavirus. Nothing like that at all. In fact, parents simply had enough. They forced Bill De Blasio to admit the oobous. This virus is not a threat to children, as De Blasio put it in that weird euphemistic. I think that dumb people speak quote. We know health realities for the youngest kids are the most favorable. Well, yes, we know that we have known it for a long time. We knew it when Bill De Blasio shut down New York, schools and Tony Fauci knew it too, though he didnt say anything about it. Now he has decided to say something about it: eight months, late, Heres, Anthony Fauci on Sunday

and as you watch this keep in mind that this man on the screen is leading our response. Americas response to the coronavirus, close the bars and keep the schools open is what we really say. Obviously you dont have one size fits all, but, as I said in the past and as you accurately quoted me, the default position should be to try, as best as possible, within reason to keep the children in school or to get them back to school. If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected. Oh, I have always said you should keep the schools open the man in charge of the coronavirus response to a nation whose schools have been closed for months. I always said that check the tape, because quote: if you look at the data, says Anthony Fauci wait a second. Why is this just now occurring to Tony Fauci

isnt, this faucis entire job? To quote? Look at the data? Yes, it is, and yet somehow he never thought to do it thats our Carl Rove czar over the summer, when the data looked the same as they do tonight. Fauci explained that he couldnt really say. If kids should be allowed to go to school, it was quote complicated, except it wasnt complicated. It wasnt complicated, then its not complicated. Now in April many months ago, study by the Journal of the personal American Medical Association, school aged children who get the coronavirus quote, develop only mild symptoms and typically recover within two weeks months later same story in June, a study in the lancet affirmed this quote: Covid 19 is generally a mild disease in children, including in infants. Other studies found the exact same thing. No study has found anything but that there was never much question about it, but if you are looking for more evidence check the death rate, those are publicly available. Deaths are not hard to track. Consider the state of New Jersey,

thats, one of the states hit hardest by the coronavirus. So far in New Jersey, not a single school aged child also a died from the coronavirus, not one. Many children have died from car accidents and fires and drug ods and suicides. None have died from Covid 19 in California, the biggest state in the United States, forty million people live there. A total of two people under the age of eighteen have died from the coronavirus two, the numbers nationwide. According to the latest CDC numbers, one hundred and twenty three Americans under the age of eighteen have died from the coronavirus, one hundred and twenty three out of three hundred and fifty million. We shut the schools anyway, crushing millions of kids affecting their futures in ways. We cant even understand at this point, but its clear, its bad, really bad in some cases. So the question is: why do we do this and the answer is to save the teachers? The teachers unions pushed this

and they are servants of the Democratic Party obeyed single largest donors to the Democratic party. So, of course they did unionized teachers get to stay home, collecting checks for their nine month a year jobs. These classrooms are just too dangerous its like the battle of the Bulge five days a week and thats exactly what they have done. Does the data say about this well for teachers under the age of fifty and thats, the vast majority of them the odds of surviving a controversies? Infection are roughly ninety five point. Ninety eight percent, but we should tell you for teachers under seventy, the risk of dying. He escalates to a Verifyin ninety nine point: five percent chance of survival and by the if teachers do get sick, it likely wont be from teaching children appear not to spread the coronavirus, certainly not effectively. We have known this for a long time back in May, researchers in Europe found quote: children do not appear to be drivers of transmission, and we argue that reopening schools should be considered safe, accompanied by certain measures.

Again. None of this is new tony Fauci. The data guy knew it at the time, and so did anyone in the news media which could read most of them, yet they kept lying about it. All of them in July. Here is just one example: a panel of physicians and experts on infectious disease went on television to explain that going to school, isnt dangerous for anyone, they would send their own kids watch the news anchors reaction. Would you let your kids go back to school? I will my kids are looking forward to it yes period, absolutely absolutely as much as I can laughter without a hesitation without a hesitation. Yes, I have no concerns about sending my chilgd to school in the fall. I would let my kids go back to school. Dr John Torres NBC News. They all said. Yes, they all said yes, said the reader fapping shock.

Can you believe that doctors have concluded their own children should go to school? They must be crazy. What do doctors know about coronavirus? What was this about? And, of course you know the answer. It was about Donald Trump, Donald Trump in this case agreed with the doctors. Therefore, the doctors had to be mocked and ignored Heres. What the president said about schools in July. We have to open our schools open our schools. Stop this nonsense. We open our schools. Applause! Stop this nonsense. We reopen our schools now in points of fact, as a scientific matter that turned out to be sound policy based on sound data, but the media told us the exact opposite of that. One headline at CNN warned of quote the very clear dangers of Donald trumps: push to reopen schools. Google didnt censor that as misinformation. It should have another headline called out Quote Donald trumps, mind

bending logic on school, reopening, mind bending logic, those damn data again Joe Bidens campaign. Didnt want to hear it. They didnt want you to hear it. Either school was dangerous period. Donald Trump claimed the opposite. Therefore, it was too dangerous to send your kids or for you to decide to send them watch ignoring how the virus spreads risking teachers and parents lives going against the advice of experts, its had very little impact on young people. Do you trust him to do whats best for our children, because this is not a test yeah going against the advice of experts in this country? Thats no longer allowed, even and maybe especially when the experts are completely wrong. Whats. The message in the message couldnt be clearer: they are not your kids anymore. If they were your kids, you could make the key decisions about their lives, but they are not those kids. Your former kids

belong to Tony Fauci. Now Tony Fauci, Americas parent, he will make the decisions about your kids. Thank you very much in conjunction with the nations uber mom, who, by the way, is also eighty years old. Mrs Nancy D Pelosi watch her fret about the health of our children. Are you confident that students and teachers will go back safe, live to school in the fall? No, I think what we heard from the secretary was malfeasance and dereliction of duty. This is appalling. They are messing. They are messing. The president and his administration are messing with the health of our children. Going back to school is presents the biggest risk for the spread of the coronavirus, um huh. If thats not criminal, what she just said, we may need to redefine what it means to commit a crime. Sixty million school aged children affected by a decision that was wrong

and many of them hurt for life, but we just blow right past it and allow political leaders like that to blow right past it with phrases like the health of our children. What happens when you lock children in their rooms in front of screens and prevent them from experiencing human contact? Has Nancy Pelosi ever been? Ask you had that question? Has she ever wonder you had about the answer? According to the centers for Disease Control, a total of five hundred and twenty two children between the ages of five and fourteen died of suicide in twenty seventeen and that same age group? Only forty two children have died from the coronavirus so far this year. What are those suicide numbers going to look like if we continue to take Nancy Pelosis advice about the health of our children? We already have some indications of that future years will reveal the whole picture, and you can be certain it will be horrifying, but for right now with incomplete data heres. What we know in Saint Paul Minnesota, for

example, forty percent of all grades, given this year have been fs and you can be certain. They are grading lightly. Its still double the normal amount of failures in Fairfax County yeah, the number of middle and high school students with failing grades, has increased by eighty three percent. The number of students with disabilities, who are failing, two or more classes, has increased by more than one hundred percent in a lot of school districts. Huge numbers of kids. Never even registered for online classes. Do you have kids? Do you know anyone who does they are learning nothing? Those are real consequences. If you want to know the health of a society, look at its young people look at its schools. These are obvious points that are being roundly ignored and anyone who makes them is attacked for making them. We will look back on this moment in shame. Back in June, we interviewed Dr Scott ATLAS, who was then a member of the White House. Coronavirus task force weigh one of the very few people, then or now brave enough to make a simple point heres what he said,

but the points about the schools is really critical, because this is the most irrational public policy, probably in modern history, children have virtually zero risk of getting a serious complication, virtually zero risk of dying. You dont lock down the children, because you are personally afraid these totally outrageous. Dr Scott ATLAS was attacked as a monster for saying that really attacked. Dr Tony Fauci, by contrast, was defied. Sign signs throughout northwest d dot C said, I believe, Dr Fauci. The truth is that Scott ATLAS was right and Dr Fauci was revealed as a power: mad incompetent thats, not our opinion by the.
