We will see tomorrow, night good evening, welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. Christmas is almost here the best week on the american calendar, the happiest time that we have this year of all years. Christmas has a deeper way to be closer to its original meaning in a time of crisis, you think of the things you might otherwise ignore if you are busier and more content, things like what is the purpose of all of this, what matters most in my life and what happens when it ends in general, people tend to become more spiritual, more openly religious when they are suffering. That is not an accident. In fact, it may be the upside to think beyond the next Amazon delivery for a minute, of course, not everyone is in favor of that. All of the focus on the big and doing things focus on the family focus on what is true and what is not true, the focus on eternity itself. All of that tends to diminish the power of the people in charge of our

temporal world. For obvious reasons, we take our leaders less seriously when we are reminded that they are just people slightly ludicrous just like we are when we are reminded that they too will pass. All of us will if death is inevitable. That may be the one thing you are not allowed to stay in this country, but it is still true. Then maybe we should pause before we destroy the living and the name of trying to eliminate it. Politicians understand this threat. Theyve figured out that Christmas is bigger than they are and therefore it is a threat to them better cancel it. In fact, they are trying hard minimizing travel to the extent possible, sometimes its absolutely necessary, but to the extent possible, dont travel dont congregate together. I know how difficult that is right. Now they just should not be done to the best of our capabilities. We should avoid travel and avoid congregate,

avoid congregate, settings say what you will about Tony Fauci. He has mastered after many decades the weird euphemisms of Washington D, DOT c. What Fauci is saying here in English is you need to avoid going to church? You need to avoid your own family. Those are the congregate settings he just mentioned. You need to spend Christmas alone. It is important all the experts agree with that. The centers for Disease Control said that very message. This week the Cdcs incident manager, a man called Dr Henry Walkie, declared that the best thing for Americans to do in the upcoming holiday season is to stay at home and not travel. So skipping Christmas is the best thing says. Dr Walkie, you should know that he is a product of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health and those you may remember the people who, just this summer, were publicly encouraging Blm to riot in our cities on medical grounds. Needless to say, one senior scholar at the

Bloomberg School of Health identified as Dr Jennifer knew so does not appear to be an actual decision, but boasts she is a climate activist tweeted, this memorable piece of epidemiological guidance back in early June. Here it is in this moment the public health risk of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism, greatly exceed the harms of the virus. In other words, in her studied expert medical opinion, not including Macys, failing to burn down businesses, you dont own is actually more dangerous than getting the coronavirus. Now you are a civilian that might sound crazy to you. But again you are not an epidemiologyepidemiologist. They know better. The former head of the CDC himself, Dr Tom Friedman, endorse that guidance. There is a consensus. All of the experts agree, the things that they like are perfectly safe, indeed encouraged, but the things they dont like are deadly catastrophic. In fact,

listen to Joe Biden explain how many Americans will die. If we dont cancel Christmas, we are likely to lose another two hundred and fifty thousand people dead between now and January. You hear me because people arent paying attention. You hear me two hundred and fifty thousand Americans dead. You hear me a quarter million people that is a lot of people in fact, thats more than the total number of combat deaths over the entire american civil war, which, by the way, lasted for years, condensed into a single month. Imagine a gettysburg. Every day of the week, you cant imagine that it is too horrible. In the first thirty days we would lose the equivalent of Reno the next month. Scottsdale then love it then Buffalo pretty soon. There would be nobody left in America. Do you hear me come on men? Do what you are told, cancel Christmas or at least stop walking.

Walking is now an unpatriotic act, so is bicycling and any contact with wheeled vehicles. That is the word from LOS Angeles, LOS Angeles. Our second largest city has just issued a new Corolla law. It bans all travel, including travel on foot bicycle scooter, automobile public transit, all of it, in LOS Angeles movement itself, is now illegal. Sorry, kids, public health, emergency, internal passports are on the way. In the meantime, you have Netflix so stop complaining in case you are confused by this guidance Eric. He would like to make it simple for you. Eric Garcetti is the mayor of LOS Angeles. That is his title, but over his years in office his role has grown and he wields power. We want Eric. Garcetti may seem like a garden variety elected official oily incompetent. Not yet fifty years old, but that is an

illusion. In fact, Eric Garcetti is omnipotent watch. My message couldnt be simpler. It is time to hunker down. It is time to cancel everything and if it isnt essential dont do it. Dont meet up with others outside your household dont host that gathering dont attend a gathering its time to cancel everything commands Lord Garcetti when he says everything he means everything up to and including your most sacred holiday time with your family, the illusion of free will. In itself you were a citizen. Now you are a supplicant. All it took was a single sentence from Eric Michael Garcetti. London breed understood that very early, the mayor of San Francisco elected on the strength of her fascinating name. She has no other obvious qualification on October 30th this year. London breed declare the

holidays are super spreader events deliver the sad news that we cant celebrate anything. What we have seen during holidays, sadly, is an uptick in the number of cases, because people are choosing to come together and sometimes these parties and these events and these gatherings they can become super spreaders. It just takes one person who is infected to infect you know all of the people who attended a party, even though this year will be a sacrifice. The sacrifice is worth it. The sacrifice is worth it says, London breed now your sacrifice to be your more specific, not her sacrifice. Just eight days after making the declaration you just saw London Breed was traveling down some of the worlds most expensive food at the french restaurant in Napa, Governor Gavin, Newsom Mode Breed is terrified of the dire pandemic we are living through, sacrificing for, but not so concerned. She is willing to endure any personal

inconvenience, no matter how small it might be, no Christmas for you, but London Breed has got to eat right now. London breed is in the root for celery root, followed by the stake. River farm b. Sacrifice is worth it. Steve Adler understand sacrifice. He is the mayor of Austin Texas, a great place. A lot of people are moving there, one of the most charming cities that we have. If you have been to Austin recently, you may notice huge numbers of mentally ill drug addicts, crapping on the sidewalk and stealing things on mugging people. Steve either did that Steve Adler wants to make Austin Texas most welcoming to the people. Welcomed least. He is also concerned about the coronavirus so worried that Steve Adler has commanded his constituents to stay home for the duration. He informed them this from a time share in a mexican beach resorts. He had flown there secretly on a

private plane with people. He is not related to sounds fun, but dont. Try it yourself, Steve Adler might punish you here. He is, we need to. You know, stay home. If you can do everything you can to try to keep the numbers down. This is not the time to relax yeah unless you happen to have a private plane headed to Cabo, otherwise stay home. That was mayor, Steve Adlers message to his people delivered from the mexican Beach resort. So what do we take from all of this? Well, it is hypocrisy. Of course. We point that out a lot, but it is deeper than that. The people giving us these high leases orders dont believe the orders they dont believe what they are saying. Obviously they dont really think Covid 19 is very dangerous if they thought it was very dangerous. They would be following their own orders, of course, but they are not following their own orders. Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein, for example, are both over eighty years old. They

are the target demo, they are at risk, and yet we know because it is on video that neither one is so worried about Covid 19, that she wears masks in private. So what does that tell you? It tells you everything. Even slow people like us are starting to figure it out. Last night there was a demonstration outside of a bar in New York called MAX Public house. No cases of coronavirus have been traced to MAX public house. It is not a proven vector of transmission from as epidemiologists say, the owner of the bar refused to shut down. He wanted to live like Gavin, Newsom and London Breed and Nancy Pelosi. He wanted to live like an adult in America. Unfortunately, for him he expressed these views out loud on television, in fact, and that is definitely not allowed, so they arrested him immediately and when they did a crowd of people decided they had had enough

indistinct chanting. You should know that no one from the CDC or the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health endorsed the protest you just saw. It was the wrong variety of politics and therefore it was a serious health risk to the nation. Not enough. Vandalism come apparently, but we can expect more protest like it. Purely yesterday, a small business owner in the state of Michigan interrupted a live shot on local television to increasingly obvious observation about what we are seeing its this. The effects of these lockdowns, the sacrifices we are being asked to make are not evenly distributed across the country. Certain people, a small group of people, seem happier than ever. You notice a certain self satisfied, jaunty nest behind their masks, as they bark orders at you, but everyone else is dying. A slow death Dave Morris joins us in a minute to elaborate on this point, but until then one more question about all of us and again it is an obvious one,

because that is what we do obvious questions. If lockdowns work, why havent? They worked so far, weve been following increasingly specific orders all year. Dont travel wear masks some people havent obeyed, but an awful lot of people have most people because it is America, and people want to do the right thing and yet, after almost a year of this, the numbers keep rising. So is the lesson really that we need a whole lot more of what.
