He's a fucking menace to society. You wonder why people think the Coronavirus is a hoax? This is what they see on the news:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIFh9aHkf0c
This is from mid-March. This is Tucker Carlson telling everyone in America that the lockdowns are to prevent petitioners from gathering signatures that will remove "power-hungry" politicians from power. "Politicians around the country are doing it. As long as there is no vaccine for the Wuhan Coronavirus, they can remain in power unchallenged forever!" He claims the curve was flattened at 35,000 cases in L.A. He claims that 'the scientists' said it could reopen. He claims that masks don't prevent disease. He claims that lockdown-supporting politicians' "decisions are driven by ambition, political calculation, and the pure animal joy of controlling other peoples' lives. "
This shit should be illegal. This shit should not be allowed. This shit GETS PEOPLE KILLED.
A transcript of the full asinine video:
May 15th 2020
This is a Fox News alert. Just in, moments ago, big changes could be coming to US police for the World Health Organization. The widely-discredited World Health Organization.
Good evening and welcome to "Tucker Carlson Tonight." Documents suggest the Trump Administration will soon announce a major change in America's posture toward W.H.O. We will have details for you; sorting through them right now, in just a moment.
But first, the country appears to be splitting into two hemispheres even as we watch. Places where public officials are allowing the science to guide their decisions, states like that are cautiously beginning to relax their lockdown, and finding no spike in illness as they do it.
[Headline: POWER-DRUNK POLITICIANS IGNORE SCIENCE]
Then there is the other half of the country; places you are glad you don't live right now. In those places, power-drunk politicians crow about science but resolutely ignore its findings, and they don't care (that) what the data says (has) bared (the fact that) their decisions are driven by ambition, political calculation, and the pure animal joy of controlling other peoples' lives.
[Headline: LOS ANGELES LOCKING DOWN UNTIL AUGUST]
Places like that are tightening their lockdowns even now. Maybe no place in the country represents the authoritarian approach more starkly than Los Angeles does. L.A. County has more residents than New York City, but while New York has had close to 200,000 confirmed cases of Coronavirus, L.A. has had only about 35,000 in the whole county! The real figures are certainly much higher than that and that's what we find every time, but that's the point, so few people in L.A. have died relatively-spekaing that we are not certain how many are infected. They are not sick enough to crowd hospitals, the city's health care system has never come close to collapsing. In Los Angeles, the curve is now flat, and it has been for weeks.
[Headline: L.A. MAYOR GARCETTI TO CITIZENS: SHUT UP & OBEY]
[Side image: L.A. Mayor with caption, POWER HUNGRY]
Could reopen tomorrow and it should reopen, and it would if its leaders were following the science. But it's not reopening, just the opposite is happening. Everett Garcetti has now extended the lockdown through the end of July, two and a half more months of it. Law enforcement liberally to make sure his citizens obey his orders. Police say brought criminal charges against sixty quote "non-essential" businesses for the crime of going to work! Those other businesses have shut forever. Countless other business have shut forever. They're not coming back. The citizens who remain stuck in Los Angeles are effectively hostages of the mayor. Garcetti's demand that anyone who goes outside for any reason, as the heat rises in L.A., must wear a mask. It goes without saying that there is no science to back up this order, or any of Garcetti's so-called "health decisions." In fact it's possible that requiring masks outside will not prevent a single person from being infected in Los Angeles. But Garcetti doesn't care. Anyone who disobeys this order will be punished. It's nuts! But it's just the beginning of Eric Garcetti's -thoroughly- bizarre restrictions. The more you know, the weirder it is.
[Headline: Garcetti's Beach Crackdown: Wet Sand Only]
Watch for example as Garcetti's explains that anyone who goes to the beach must make certain not to touch dry sand. Wet sand is fine, but dry sand is now illegal!
Cut to Garcetti: "The beaches will open this week for exercise and active recreation only; in the 'wet sand' I guess is a good way to think about it, not hanging out and tanning in the dry sand."
Carlson: What's the science behind this? Once again there is none. NONE! This isn't reasoned, thoughtful policy-making. It's the expresson of the autocrat who decided he must 'look tough' by 'doing something' or he won't get elected President which has always been Eric Garcetti's primary goal.
[Headline: GARCETTI IS DRUNK WITH POWER & WANTS TO LOOK TOUGH]
It's scary when you think about what this means. It means that America's second-largest city has fallen under the total control of a neurotic megalomaniac who is terrified of dry sand. Eric Garcetti's personal phobias are now law in Los Angeles. Makes you think of the final days of Nicolae Ceaușescu in Romania, ranting at his subjects from a podium, imposing his strange obsessions on a helpless population.
[Headline: GARCETTI: WE WON'T BE OPEN UNTIL THERE'S A CURE]
It would not be surprising to learn that Eric Garcetti is a compulsive hand-washer, with a VERY strange personal life. Guys like this are always the same once you scratch the surface. So how long will Los Angeles have to live like this? Possibly forever, Garcetti announced this week.
Cut to Garcetti: "We've never been fully-closed, we'll never be completely open until we have a cure, but I do believe that we can take steps but monitor those numbers, listen to the scientists, and the medical professionals, and make the tough calls even when there's criticism."
[Headline: SOME CALIFORNIANS HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF GARCETTI]
Carlson: Yeah this can't go on, it's too crazy! Now you may mock Los Angeles, and in some cases it's deserved, there are some flaky people who live there: Barbara Streisand's in Malibu. But there's also an awful lot of normal, decent people in Los Angeles. Millions of them. Some of them understand where Eric Garcetti is taking them and their city and they've had enough. A couple of days ago a group of them came together. It's totally bipartisan. Some of them are well-known liberal Democrats, some are conservative Republicans and have been all their lives. Others are labor leaders, middle-class voters... The one thing they all have in common is the dead-certain knowledge that Mayor Eric Garcetti is poison. He's hurting their city, he's hurtin their families. Garcetti has allowed tens of thousands of mentally-ill drug addicts to live on Los Angeles sidewalks and under overpasses; if you've been there recently you know.
He's also tolerated flagrant corruption in his own administration. Now he's shut the entire city down simply because he 'feels like it.' This group of citizens is going to try and bounce Eric Garcetti from the Mayor's office, and they can! Under California law, politicians can be recalled by voters.
[Headline: GARCETTI MADE SURE HIS OPPONENTS CAN'T PROTEST]
You remember that Californians did it to their governor, Gray Davis, seventeen years ago, it worked! Now recall petition in California requires three hundred and thirty thousand signatures, and that unfortunately, is where Eric Garcetti has the advantage. Thanks to Garcetti's extended shelter-in-place orders, citizens are not allowed to gather these signatures. So, under the guise of public health, Garcetti has stopped his political opponents from opposing him! And he's not the only one, you've seen this happen in many states--Michigan, New Jersey, others. Politicians around the country are doing it. As long as there is no vaccine for the Wuhan Coronavirus, they can remain in power unchallenged forever!
It's nice for them. They're enjoying it...
[Headline: AMERICANS STARTING TO DEMAND BACK THEIR FREEDOMS]
But in Los Angeles Garcetti may have gone too far. The future of the city is at stake. The 'recall Garcetti' forces are taking this issue--the issue of signatures--to court, trying to win the right to gather the signatures online; we'll keep you posted on how they do 'cause it's important.
But the bigger point is, these people are not passive. These are Americans who understand what has been taken from them, and they are trying to get it back, as they should. We're seeing this happen around the country thank God. In New Jersey for example, citizens are still banned from assembling to worship as together as they choose. That's a direct violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. We asked the Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy about this when he came on our show, he said he 'wasn't even really thinking! about the Bill of Rights' when it comes to his population, 'cause it's in the way.

They should be stripped of the term 'NEWS' but since the USA is very loose on how these people can label themselves, they get away with it

Wow it's nice to see some civil discourse.

This does seem similar to shouting "Fire!" in a public place
Feralkyn
I'm not sure why you got downvoted, it's really fucking true

Tucker is the worst propagandists out there because he's smarter than the other right wing smear merchants. Hes the definition of insidious
Feralkyn
He is fucking evil.
DrewBerg
Well, yes. That too. Is it any surprise? He's a trust fund baby that's never had to work hard for anything he's "earned" in his life.

He writes his own scripts?

No, but he sells the script very well.
