Good evening welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight, Kate Brown, first elected governor of Oregon by the way back in twenty fifteen at the time. There is not a whole lot going on in Oregon, so voters did not ask many questions. The one thing they did learn about Kate Brown over and over again is that she is a self described bisexual. Why is this relevant? Perhaps the media did not explain. They told us without explaining what it meant that this fact was historic and it was highly thrilling. Kate, Browns sex life was shattering ceilings, woo hoo, and if you look at the post, you noticed something a little bit weird. Actually, Kate Brown was married to a man. Guess he had a different last name, but he was still as they say, on Tiktok binary. He was a dude thats, fine, of course, but a little bit confusing. How does having her groom at her wedding, mate, Kate, Brown and official
member of the Lgbtq? They were wondering why we dont call Barack Obama half White, which he is its not part of the question, celebrate so voters in Oregon, dutifully celebrated and out from under them the world changed. Suddenly things in America went from flaccid to highly turbulent, especially true in Oregon, when it was fighting left wing militia for more than a year, the biggest city was destroyed, people died and then a virus arrived from China and it killed thousands. It was a very serious moment. Unfortunately, Oregon did not have a very serious leader. It had some dopey soccer mom who got elected because she claims she had a girlfriend in college. Kate Brown, unfortunately turned out to be dimmer than air that she did not know anything or had any achievements. She wilted and became a rational. She is exactly the leader. You do not want in a crisis, and yet she was the governor which, in the age of corona, made her very close to
God and she acted like it. Here is Kate Brown Commanding oregonians to stop going outside without their little masks on, even if they have been vaccinated today, im announcing that effective Friday August 27th masks will be required in all public outdoor settings where physical distancing is not possible, regardless of vaccination status status at private residences, where people from different households do not maintain physical distance. At this point, its almost pointless to apply the traditional measures of logic of reason and data to decrees like that one. She is bisexual and school. The hypocrites who think this adds up dont care what the facts are, but since we are old school that way, we will try it one. Last time Kate Browns Decree is nonsensical. First off. If the vaccines work,
then why are vaccinated people required to where MAX? And for that matter, why does anyone required outdoors outdoor transmission of covid is so rare that its practically nonexistent? That is true, whether or not you have been vaccinated as Mark Lipsitz, an epidemiologist of Harvard pointed out outdoor masking, has notable costs and really no evidence of benefit, and that remains true tonight. Even Tony Fauci, who ordinarily never tells only tells the truth and private emails admitted the same thing, a public, its pretty and common sense that outdoor risk is really really quite low. Fauci said in a study from Ireland confirms that this is true researchers. They are considered more than hundred thirty thousand Covid cases in Ireland through March this year. What did they find? They found that only one in a thousand could be traced to outdoor transmission. So as a factual matter,
Kate Browns order is absurd, but even if you ignore the science and convinced yourself that large numbers of people were catching covid while jogging, you still would not make people wear masks because drugstore masks the kind that everyone wears do not work, cloth and surgical masks. Do not stop Covid thats, not a guess. We know a new study from engineers from the University of Waterloo came out this week once again proves that conclusively the researchers use a mannequin to simulate someone in a large room. Some had cloth, some had the blue surgical masks. They found that aerosol drop lips, big enough or Covid, built up on the mannequins app is as if the mask wasnt, even there, the mask only filtered about ten percent of the aerosol droplets and ninety percent got through. So on every level. The order you
just saw from Kate Brown is ridiculous, and yet thanks to Covid, as we noted, she is now God so her orders are now the law, and if you ignore them, you will go to jail. Do you want people calling the police on their neighbors nonemergency lines? This is no different than what happens. If there is a party down the street and its keeping everyone awake, what do neighbors do they call law enforcement because its too noisy so thats a yes? Yes, yes, you call the cops. None of the actual laws are being enforced, but the fake laws, the ones not by legislator, not the ones made up by the power Matt Governor those will be enforced with guns. This is happening all over the country in California, a state where identity is also more important than competence. One charter school: when into a lockdown where police swarmed the campus, why was there a mass shooting a
terror incident? No two students came to school without masks, so they called the s dot, WA, DOT, t team. It was a tense day at charter school into Macula police called on campus and the entire school. When into lock down all because two students refuse to wear a mask Victoria. Nelson is a junior at the school. Her brother drew is a senior. They say they chose not to wear for religious reasons of believing it would be enough to ban them from the state to mandate. Even though no one filed it with the district or the school, they say that Victoria refused to wear a mask or leave class, listen to what the principal tears still in and tells her. I need you to stand up or we will physically remove you from the classroom. The entire school was placed on lockdown and both students were banned from going to the charter school. Ever again. Oh, they cant go to school. Ever again, we will have the police beat you if you dont, leave thats what the principal just said.
There is no evidence that the masks they are being told to wear will protect them. How many healthy school age kids have died of covid? Oh sorry, that science no longer allowed? What is interesting is as we call the cops on children and threaten to hurt them if they dont leave immediately and never get educated again. There are a lot of people who are actually dying of covid. Thousands and thousands of elderly have died of covid, but the actual deaths, particularly the deaths caused by the poor decision making of democratic governors, particularly in the state of New York. Today we learned that Andrew Cuomo was lying about how many nursing home patients he killed in New York. The covid deaths in the state were about twelve thousand more than he said it was twelve thousand twelve thousand thats, not a small number.
Why did we not know that until today think about that? If they can lie about the number of people who died to the tune of twelve thousand people, thats a huge problem, you cant make rational decisions about public health. Unless you have real numbers, how can you determine whether or mandatory vaccinations are a good idea, for example, unless you have accurate numbers, but we dont have accurate numbers. Politicians are lying about them and have from day one, but nobody cares so watch the Pentagon. Press secretary explained that all american soldiers, young and healthy everyone of them nonetheless must be vaccinated immediately, whether or not they want or need the shot. This has been done before the last time the Pentagon forced troops to take the vaccine was the anthrax vaccine and it was a disaster lead to serious side effects, including death in the military, had to abandon it. But dont worry says John Kerry. Mandatory vaccines may not be necessary, but they are orders and those orders are
lawful. You mandated, as we have done. It is a lawful order and we fully anticipate that our troops are going to follow lawful orders paid when you raise your right hand and you take the oath thats what you agreed to do kind of missing the point: no shouldnt. They explain it slowly in ways that we can understand, because it is a democracy, why this is a good idea showing us the data that justified this decision, explaining what the exemptions might be telling us how long this will go on and what we will get out of it in the end. This is all for our benefit right. This is why the? U dot S government exists to help us. They dont mention any of that. His response was. We have the power to do this and we are going to thats what Joe Biden said too. He announced that everybody in America should be forced to take the vaccine and that an undetermined number of booster shots from now until forever,
regardless of their age, health, status, religious belief or if they have active, antibodies and have had covid already and recovered, it does not matter your individual circumstances. One size fits all three hundred and forty million Americans thats the plan, so Biden ordered private business to compel employees to get vaccinated. If you are a business leader, nonprofit leader state or local leader, who has been waiting for full FDA approval to require vaccinations, I call on you now to do that, require it do what I did last month require your employees to get vaccinated or face strict requirements. The guy who planned to withdraw from Afghanistan is now in charge of our vaccine policy. Some people clearly should get vaccinated. They are at risk. The benefits outweigh the risk of the vaccine for them, but if people probably shouldnt, not everybody is
identical, but it doesnt matter because force is their only response. Visio delta advance. Today he will be working his enforcer to make everybody. Do it announcing that unvaccinated delta employees will be fined hundreds of dollars every month of the surcharge will be necessary to address the risk not to vaccinate this meaning for our company? Oh, but this only applies to Covid notice. There is no other illness, not type two diabetes, not HIV Hepatitis. All of those diseases are widespread and cost a lot of money, but Delta is enforcing anyone to address those just covid, because the president has commanded it. Okay, is this a good idea? Are the vaccines working in the way they promised? They would again its not an argument against vaccines or this one, its in favor of transparency and knowing what the data actually says before you obey.
If you are interested, you should look at what is happening in Israel. Researchers are giving some answers to those questions. It is one of the most vaccinated countries on the planet. More than eighty percent of israeli citizens over the age of twelve are now fully vaccinated against covid, so the summer famously asked at their lockdowns, because people werent getting sick anymore, but now they are getting sick. They have one of the high list daily Covid infection rates in the entire world, averaging seven thousand five hundred confirmed cases a day and thats twice the number from just last week. What is going on? They were nearly ten thousand cases diagnosed. Yesterday alone, hundreds of people have died this month vaccinated people. So what is that again? It does not mean vaccines are bad and means. We need an explanation, explanation for whats going on. Why arent we demanding one there are signs that vaccines in this country are not working in the way that we were told they would and probably honestly, in the way that scientists thought they would,
according to the CDC, the effectiveness of the vaccine has dropped to sixty six percent for front line workers. Why is that? Can we get an explanation? Please Tony Fauci wont give an explanation. Hes just saying get the vaccine and life will return to normal if you are lucky in about a year or so, because if we can get through this winter and get really the majority overwhelming majority of the ninety million people who have not been vaccinated vaccinated, I hope we can start to get some good control in the spring of twenty twenty, two so fifteen days to slow the spread right now it is where a burqa and get a jab every six months in perpetuity. Somebody needs to explain what is going on slowly carefully with data its not enough to watch people who believe men can get pregnant. Tell us they understand the science and we dont and shut up.
