Yesterday, RedState reported on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s sudden change of heart about opening schools (see The Exalted Doctor Fauci Changes His Mind Again Because Our Experts Are Cowards). That came after he spent most of the year refusing to back President Trump’s calls to do just that. It’s almost like so much of Fauci’s advice was politically time, right?
None of that sat well with Tucker Carlson. He went on air last night and unleashed a blistering monologue targeting Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, and our expert class in general.
Tucker: Experts finally admit they were wrong from the beginning
Carlson begins by explaining what has been going on in New York. Mayor Bill de Blasio had spent months giving arbitrary rulings to keep schools closed based on nothing more than the whims of the teacher’s unions. Just two weeks ago, schools were closed again in the city. This time, though, the parents decided they had had enough. Things are now opening back up after the Mayor found himself on the receiving end of harsh criticism and pushback.
As Carlson notes, nothing actually changed from a scientific standpoint, and is true in regards to Dr. Fauci’s shift as well. There was no vaccine delivered or new research on school age children that has prompted the sudden support to keep schools open by our expert class. In fact, we’ve known all this data since at least the early summer. Europe re-opened their schools early with no real issues and study after study found that 1) children were not good spreaders of the virus and 2) that they suffered almost no risk from it if they do get it. Carlson pushed that point by noting that not a single school age child has died in New Jersey, and in a state of 40+ million like California, you can count the deaths on one hand. Far, far more school age children have been harmed due to lock downs from suicide, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
Carlson wasn’t done though. He then played a clip from July of Nancy Pelosi where she essentially accused the administration of trying to kill children by wanting to open up the schools. In reality, Pelosi had zero data to back up her position, nor did CNN attempt to ask her for any. Ironically, despite her pronouncement, she was far more responsible for hurting “our children” in the end. Think about that and and ponder just how terrible our ruling class really are.
The ending note of the monologue was on Scott Atlas, who was viciously attacked all summer and into the fall by the media, Democrats, and figures like Fauci. In the end, as I pointed out earlier today before stumbling on this Carlson clip, Atlas was correct. All his detractors were wrong.
Our experts are cowards, but they are also blatantly political and cynical. Dr. Fauci could have been promoting the data about schools being safe months ago. Instead, he waited until after the election, and that was not a coincidence. So much of the response to the pandemic has been nakedly political, and Fauci has been as guilty as anyone. These people deserve every roasting they get.
Too bust watching hearings and War Room to watch Tucker
Tucker is so pre-election. Post election, everthing has changed. Haven’t watched Tucker since Nov 2. From now on, I watch Fox as much as I watch MSNBC and CNN - never.
Oh look, another speech that changes nothing
Haven’t watched Fox in two years.
Tucker is just preaching to no one now.
You cannot believe any “expert” who works for the government.
Fox to Tucker........
Your mission, Tucker, should you decide to accept it, is to restore our dying ratings. As always, should you or any of your team be caught lying again, the Murdoch family will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This email will self-destruct in five/ten seconds, just like Hunter Biden’s did.
Same here. I will not miss War Room.
I don’t care about “preaching” or “rants”. I want news. The news right now is about shady election practices. Fox doesn’t report that news. So why should I watch Fox?
Agree!
War Room ... the place to be these days. Good interviews with people in the fight.
Fauxi is owned and operated by Chairman XI and Chairman Jao.
He was a big part of the likely collusion that took place between the DNC and the CCP on the planned virus release. The azzhole helped create it by funding that CCP bioweapons lab over there to the tune of several million, hard-earned, U.S. taxpayer dollars.
He has the blood of thousands on his hands, not to mention treason. It’s no wonder he has his own personal security detail now. He wouldn’t last 10 seconds out in the general public. He should be arrested, tried and be facing a death penalty sentence for what he’s done to the USA and her People.
Tucker, still cashing those Fox checks?
Now-He brags about how long it's been since he tuned in! HA!!
I haven't revisited FOX since a$@ clown O’Reilly said the US military killed prisoners and civilians at Malmedy. That was the limit. I said...."We're done."
He should spell his name with an F and not a T.
We don’t tolerate FUX NEWS around these parts....
Same here. Tucker has put himself in the actor/reader category.
Yea, O’Rielly was what did it for me also, quitting FAUX NEWS; yea,yea the right does it to. Ah, no actually you pompous ass, they don’t. Got to be I couldn’t stand that blowhard, so just stopped watching that station altogether .
Is War Room still being aired on NewsMax somewhere? I was watching it at 11pm on DirectTV/Newsmax but that time slot appears to be the Chris Salcedo show.
Did NewsMax drop Bannon? I can't imagine he was not getting decent ratings.
Tucker Carlson still has a lot to contribute.
