  • NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN

  • LOCKED DOWN IN THIS COUNTRY.

  • EVEN NOW, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS

  • REMAIN SUBJECTED TO

  • UNPRECEDENTED RESTRICTIONS ON

  • THEIR PERSONAL LIVES, DAILY

  • LIVES, FAMILY LIVES.

  • THE LOCKDOWNS CONTINUE IN MANY

  • PLACES, IF YOU'RE LIVING ON IT

  • YOU DEFINITELY KNOW.

  • AS A RESULT OF THIS, TENS OF

  • MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE NOW

  • UNEMPLOYED, A HUGE NUMBER OF

  • THEM HAVE NO PROSPECTS OF

  • WORKING AGAIN, MANY THOUSANDS OF

  • SMALL BUSINESSES ARE CLOSED AND

  • WILL NEVER REOPEN.

  • AMERICANS HAVE SEEN THEIR

  • MARRIAGE IS DISSOLVED, BECAME

  • CLINICALLY DEPRESSED.

  • SOME HAVE BLAMED THEIR WEDDING,

  • OTHERS WERE BANNED FROM THE

  • GOVERNMENT BY FROM BURYING THEIR

  • LOVED ONES AND FUNERALS.

  • AN UNKNOWN NUMBER HAVE TAKEN

  • THEIR OWN LIVES IN DESPAIR.

  • OTHERS HAVE GONE TO THE STREETS

  • TO RIOT BECAUSE BOTTLED UP RAGE

  • AND FRUSTRATION TAKE MANY FORMS.

  • THE COST OF SHUTTING DOWN THE

  • UNITED STATES IN DENYING OUR

  • CITIZENS DESPERATELY NEEDED

  • CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER IS HARD

  • TO CALCULATE BUT THE COST HAS

  • BEEN STAGGERING.

  • THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING

  • ALL THIS, WE FACED A GLOBAL

  • CALAMITY, THE WORST PANDEMIC

  • SINCE THE SPANISH FLU, THAT FLU

  • KILLED 50 MILLION PEOPLE.

  • WE HAD NO CHOICE.

  • WE DID THE RIGHT THING.

  • THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TELLING US.

  • IS IT TRUE, THE ANSWER TO THAT

  • QUESTION MATTERS NOT JUST

  • BECAUSE THE TRUTH ALWAYS MATTERS

  • BUT BECAUSE THE CREDIBILITY OF

  • OUR LEADERS IS AT STAKE HERE,

  • THIS IS THE BIGGEST DECISION

  • THEY MADE IN OUR LIFETIMES, THEY

  • WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT, THEY

  • RULED, BECAUSE WE LET THEM.

  • THEIR POWER COMES FROM US.

  • SO THE QUESTION NOW AND ALWAYS

  • IS, ARE THEY WORTHY OF THAT

  • POWER?

  • IT'S NOT A CONVERSATION THEY

  • WANT TO HAVE AN RIGHT NOW THEY

  • DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT

  • CONVERSATION BECAUSE RIGHT NOW

  • ALL OF US ARE DISTRACTED AND

  • MESMERIZED BY THE WOKE

  • REVOLUTION UNDERWAY OUTSIDE.

  • THEY CREATED A SEPARATE COUNTRY

  • IN SEATTLE.

  • AS WE SAID, WE WILL BRING YOU

  • THE LATEST ON THAT IN JUST A

  • MINUTE BUT WE THINK IT'S WORTH

  • TAKING A PAUSE TO ASSESS WHETHER

  • OR NOT THEY WERE IN FACT LYING

  • TO US ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS AND

  • OUR RESPONSE TO IT.

  • THE SHORT ANSWER IS THIS, YES,

  • THEY WERE DEFINITELY LYING.

  • AS A MATTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH,

  • CONCLUSIVELY, THE LOCKDOWNS WERE

  • NOT NECESSARY.

  • WE CAN PROVE THAT AND HERE'S THE

  • MOST POWERFUL EVIDENCE, STATES

  • THAT NEVER LOCKED DOWN AT ALL,

  • STATES WHERE PEOPLE WERE ALLOWED

  • TO LIVE LIKE AMERICANS AND NOT

  • COWER IN INDOORS ALONE, TURNED

  • OUT NO WORSE THAN THEY COULD

  • STATES THAT HAD MANDATORY

  • QUARANTINE, THE STATES YOU

  • PROBABLY LIVE IN.

  • THE STATES THAT DID LOCK DOWN

  • AND WERE QUICK TO REOPEN HAVE

  • NOT SEEN EXPLOSIONS OF

  • CORONAVIRUS CASES PAID ALL OF

  • THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT

  • THEY SAID WOULD HAPPEN WITH

  • GREAT CONFIDENCE.

  • THE MEDIA PREDICTED MASS DEATH

  • IN PLACES OF LAKE OF THE OZARK,

  • NEW YORK CITY, MARYLAND, BUT

  • THOSE DEATHS NEVER HAPPENED.

  • IN THE END, THE CORONAVIRUS

  • TURNED OUT TO BE A DANGEROUS

  • DISEASE BUT A MANAGEABLE DISEASE

  • LIKE SO MANY OTHERS.

  • FAR MORE DANGEROUS WHERE THE

  • LOCKDOWNS THEMSELVES.

  • FOR EXAMPLE, IN NEW YORK,

  • PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY,

  • PANICKED AND INCOMPETENT

  • GOVERNORS FORCED NURSING HOMES

  • TO ACCEPT CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS.

  • THE MEDIA WOULD RATHER TELL YOU

  • WHY YOU NEED TO HATE YOUR

  • NEIGHBOR FOR THE COLOR OF HIS

  • SKIN.

  • THE MEDIA DEFINITELY DON'T WANT

  • TO REVISIT WHAT THEY WERE SAYING

  • JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEY

  • WERE ACTING AS PRESS AGENTS FOR

  • POWER DRUNK DEMOCRATIC

  • POLITICIANS.

  • NEWS ANCHORS WERE ORDERING YOU

  • TO STOP ASKING QUESTIONS AND

  • OBEY.

  • >> WHILE MOST AMERICANS ARE

  • STAYING INSIDE, IF THEY ARE NOT

  • PROTESTING -- THEY ARE NOT HAPPY

  • ABOUT BEING TOLD TO STAY HOME.

  • STAYING HOME SAVES LIVES.

  • >> THE REST OF US SHOULD BE

  • STAYING AT HOME FOR THE PEOPLE

  • WE LOVE AND TO KEEP US FARTHER

  • APART WILL ULTIMATELY BRING US

  • CLOSER TOGETHER.

  • OUR COLLECTIVE CONSCIENTIOUS

  • ACTIONS STAYING HOME.

  • >> Tucker: IF YOU LOVE YOUR

  • MOTHER YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY.

  • TURNS OUT CABLE NEWS ANCHORS

  • DON'T MAKE VERY SUBTLE

  • PROPAGANDA.

  • AND THEN MEMORIAL DAY ARRIVED

  • AND SOME STATES STARTED TO

  • REOPEN, MILLIONS OF GRATEFUL

  • AMERICANS HEADED OUTDOORS FOR

  • THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS.

  • AND THE MEDIA ATTACKED THEM FOR

  • DOING THAT, CALLED THEM KILLERS.

  • SWIMMING WITH YOUR KIDS, THEY

  • TOLD US, WAS TANTAMOUNT TO MASS

  • MURDER.

  • >> JAM-PACKED POOL PARTIES AT

  • THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS RESORT

  • AND OTHER PLACES, FEW IF ANY

  • PEOPLE WERE WEARING MASKS OR

  • PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING.

  • >> OVERCROWDED POOLS DESPITE THE

  • ONGOING PANDEMIC.

  • BUNCHED UP IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE A

  • KIND OF HUMANS DO.

  • >> A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THOSE

  • CROWDS THOUGHT THEY WERE FOR

  • WHAT THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES IN

  • AND THAT IS NOT TO CARE ABOUT

  • THE PUBLIC SAFETY PART OF THIS.

  • >> LOOK AT THIS, IT'S KIND OF

  • CRAZY CONSIDERING WE WERE IN THE

  • MIDDLE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC,

  • THAT IS CURVING THE CURVE,

  • THAT'S NOT FLATTENING IT.

  • >> MASSIVE CROWD OF PEOPLE

  • CRAMMED TOGETHER AS IF IT WERE

  • AN ORDINARY HOLIDAY WEEKEND

  • DESPITE THE RISK OF A VIRUS THAT

  • HAS KILLED MORE THAN 98,000

  • PEOPLE.

  • >> THAT MONTAGE WAS THE OPPOSITE

  • OF A MENSA MEETING.

  • THE LAST CLIP YOU SAW WAS FROM

  • MAY 25TH, OVER TWO WEEKS AGO,

  • 98,000 PEOPLE ARE DEAD, HOW DARE

  • YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE?

  • YOU DON'T WORK IN THE MEDIA,

  • YOU'RE NOT ESSENTIAL.

  • BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THAT

  • MESSAGE TO CHANGE COMPLETELY.

  • IT TOOK PRECISELY FIVE DAYS.

  • HERE'S THE SAME BRAIN-DEAD

  • NEWS ANCHOR YOU JUST SAW A LESS

  • THAN A WEEK LATER, HE'S NO

  • LONGER ANGRY ABOUT AMERICANS

  • GOING OUTSIDE AS LONG AS THEY

  • ARE RIOTING AND BURNING AND NOT

  • DOING SOMETHING SINFUL LIKE

  • SWIMMING WITH THEIR CHILDREN,

  • HE'S DELIGHTED BY IT.

  • >> IF ANYONE IS JUDGING THIS,

  • I'M NOT JUDGING THIS, I'M JUST

  • WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON

  • BECAUSE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO

  • FIGURE OUT THIS EXPERIMENT A

  • LONG TIME, OUR COUNTRY WAS

  • STARTED BECAUSE -- THIS IS, THE

  • BOSTON TEA PARTY, RIOTING, SO DO

  • NOT GET IT TWISTED AND THINK

  • THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS

  • NOT EVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND

  • THIS IS SO TERRIBLE AND WHERE

  • ARE WE AND ALL OF THAT, THIS IS

  • HOW THIS COUNTRY WAS STARTED.

  • >> Tucker: YEAH, DON'T JUDGE,

  • THIS IS HOW THIS COUNTRY WAS

  • STARTED.

  • BY ELUDING CVS AND SETTING FIRE

  • TO WENDY'S.

  • YOU TOOK AMERICAN HISTORY, YOU

  • KNEW THAT.

  • ANDREW CUOMO'S BROTHER MUST HAVE

  • BEEN IN THE SAME HISTORY CLASS

  • BECAUSE HE HAD THE SAME

  • REACTION.

  • >> AMERICA'S MAJOR CITIES ARE

  • FILLED WITH PEOPLE DEMANDING

  • THIS COUNTRY BECOME MORE FAIR,

  • MORE JUST STAND PLEASE SHOW ME

  • WHERE IT SAYS THAT PROTESTS ARE

  • SUPPOSED TO BE POLITE AND

  • PEACEFUL BECAUSE I CAN SHOW YOU

  • THAT OUTRAGED CITIZENS ARE THE

  • ONES WHO HAVE MADE AMERICA WHAT

  • SHE HAS AND LED TO MANY MAJOR

  • MILESTONES.

  • THEY ARE HERE TO YELL,

  • CRITICIZE, BLAME, AND SHAME.

  • CITIZENS HAVE NO DUTY TO CHECK

  • THEIR OUTRAGE.

  • >> Tucker: SO LAU, ONE MINUTE

  • THEY WERE MASS MURDERERS ARE

  • GOING OUTSIDE, NOW THEY ARE

  • SAM ADAMS, THEY ARE PATRIOTS,

  • AMERICAN HEROES.

  • IF ALL OF THIS SEEMS LIKE A

  • PRETTY ABRUPT PIT IT, RIOTING IS

  • NOT A HEALTH RISK, AS LONG AS IT

  • HELPS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S

  • PROSPECTS IN THE NOVEMBER

  • ELECTION, RIOTING WILL NOT

  • SPREAD THE CORONAVIRUS.

  • WE CAN BE CERTAIN OF THAT

  • BECAUSE LAST WEEK HUNDREDS OF

  • SELF-DESCRIBED PUBLIC HEALTH

  • OFFICIALS SIGNED A LETTER SAYING

  • SOMETHING.

  • THEY ANNOUNCED THAT THE BLACK

  • LIVES MATTER RIOTS ARE A VITAL

  • CONTRIBUTION TO PUBLIC HEALTH.

  • THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO GO

  • OUTSIDE, YOU DON'T.

  • THANKS TO CORONAVIRUS YOU DO NOT

  • HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESUME YOUR

  • LIFE AND IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT

  • THAT IT'S "WHITE NATIONALISM,"

  • THAT WAS A PROFESSIONAL

  • CONCLUSION.

  • DOES A SINGLE AMERICAN BELIEVE

  • ANY OF THAT?

  • NO.

  • OF COURSE NOT.

  • IT IS TOO STUPID EVEN FOR CNN TO

  • REPEAT SO THEY MOSTLY IGNORED

  • IT.

  • THAT'S AN OMINOUS SIDE IF YOU

  • THINK ABOUT IT.

  • THESE PEOPLE ARE DONE TRYING TO

  • CONVINCE YOU, EVEN TO FOOL YOU,

  • THEY'RE NOT MAKING ARGUMENTS,

  • THEY ARE ISSUING DECREES, THEY

  • THINK THEY CAN.

  • THEY NO LONGER BELIEVE THEY NEED

  • YOUR CONSENT TO MAKE BIG

  • DECISIONS TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

  • ONCE THE AUTHORITY STOP TRYING

  • TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, EVEN BY

  • DECEIT IT MEANS THEY DECIDED TO

  • USE FORCE, AND THEY HAVE.

  • DURING THE LOCKDOWNS, PEOPLE WHO

  • LOVED ONES DIED WERE NOT ALLOWED

  • TO HAVE FUNERALS FOR THEM.

  • THINK ABOUT THAT, IT'S HARD TO

  • THINK OF ANYTHING CRUELER BUT IT

  • HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE,

  • THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NECESSARY.

  • IT WAS NOT NECESSARY AND WE KNOW

  • THAT THEY BECAUSE NOW THAT A MAN

  • HAS DIED WHOSE DEATH IS

  • POLITICALLY USEFUL TO

  • DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE

  • AUTHORITIES HAVE GIVEN HIM THREE

  • FUNERALS AND NOT A WORD ABOUT A

  • HEALTH RISK.

  • OR CONSIDER KING COUNTY,

  • WASHINGTON.

  • RESTAURANTS IN KING COUNTY ARE

  • OPERATING AT 25% CAPACITY,

  • THAT'S THE LAW NOW.

  • NONESSENTIAL BUSINESSES ARE

  • ALLOWED 15% CAPACITY.

  • THE EFFECT OF THAT IS ECONOMIC

  • DISASTER, MOST SMALL BUSINESSES

  • RUN ON VERY SMALL MARGINS, THEY

  • CAN'T SURVIVE FOR LONG AND MANY

  • HAVE FAILED.

  • WHAT SHOULD THEY DO?

  • THEY SHOULD JOIN ANTIFA,

  • OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE IN

  • KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, ANTIFA

  • CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO.

  • THEY'VE TAKEN AN ENTIRE SIX

  • BLOCK SECTION OF DOWNTOWN

  • SEATTLE AND THAT'S FINE, NO

  • SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIRED, THEY

  • ARE ESSENTIAL.

  • IS THIS ADDING UP TO OUR

  • MESSAGE?

  • YEAH, THE MESSAGES YOU WERE

  • PLAYED, WE WERE ALL PLAYED,

  • CORRUPT POLITICIANS SCARED US

  • INTO GIVING UP CONTROL OVER THE

  • MOST BASIC QUESTIONS IN OUR OWN

  • LIVES.

  • IN THE SAME TIME THEY GAVE MORE

  • POWER TO THEIR OBEDIENT

  • FOLLOWERS WHILE KEEPING THE REST

  • OF US TRAPPED AT HOME AND

  • CENSORED ONLINE.

  • THEY USED A PUBLIC HEALTH

  • EMERGENCY TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY

  • AND INSTILL THEMSELVES AS

  • MONARCHS.

  • HOW ARE THEY ABLE TO DO THIS?

  • THE SAD TRUTH IS THEY DID IT

  • BECAUSE WE LET THEM DO IT.

  • WE BELIEVED THEM, THEIR

  • THEREFORE WE OBEYED THEM AND IF

NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN
