Tucker speaks to 10 year old John Provenzano about his objection to mask mandate in his school
I wrote earlier about an amazing 10-year-old fourth-grader, John Provenzano, who obliterated his school’s mask mandate in a withering statement before the school board last week in Martin County, Florida.
It seems like we weren’t the only folks to admire the young man’s important words about what he and his friends had been experiencing because of the mandate.
Provenzano just made it on to Tucker Carlson’s show with his dad, which had to be a thrill for the boy.
Viral 10 year-old who criticized his school board over its hypocritical and unscientific mask mandate just embarrassed them again.

Carlson asked the young boy about one of the most poignant parts of his statement — the fact that when he happened to run into his teacher out in public, away from the school, she didn’t recognize him. “We’re stuck in the classroom wearing masks seven hours a day,” John said. “So she’s never seen me or any of my classmates’ faces before.” How incredibly sad and unnatural that is. He mimicked the teacher saying she hadn’t really recognized him because all she ever sees is his eyes. Imagine not having that basic piece of human contact.
John says teachers had never explained to them the reason for having to wear the masks, that they’ve never explained any science behind it. He mimics one of the teachers again, telling the kids how they’re being “disrespectful” for not wearing their masks and that they work hard. John pointed out how “We’re also working hard, too.” “It’s almost 100 degrees outside, we’re wearing cloth masks, and you expect us not to be hot? And complain?” John said. “It’s just… insanity!”
Carlson asked the young man’s father, Mike Provenzano, whether or not the school had explained anything to the parents. Tucker joked that the chances of a ten-year-old dying from the virus were “lower than being eaten by lions.” Provenzano replied that they had not had anything explained to them, that there seemed to be no indication or guidance as to when they would move or if they would move to a mask optional situation. He said no one appeared to be paying attention to the question. The dad points out how the mandates have been dropped in the rest of Florida, but not in the schools when the risk of transmission among children is lower than among adults.
Carlson asked John about the teachers scolding him and his friends for pulling their masks down when the teachers were pulling their masks down to yell at them. John’s delivery in response is amazing, he has the delivery of a comedian twenty years in the business. He was hilarious. “Are they allowed to take their masks off? Is that the new policy,” he mocked again. “No, I don’t think so.” “They’re yelling at us to put ours up when theirs is not up? There’s no logic,” he said, making Tucker laugh. “Hypocrisy,” he said, echoing what he said in his statement before the school board.
It’s hard to understand why the mandates are being kept in the school when they have been dropped everywhere else in Florida.
But most importantly, people need to be listening to what this young man is saying, understand what these kids are having to go through, and do something to change the situation.
So when he is going to report his parents to CPS like a good little Tucker youth?

I saw that interview. What a brave young man.
That is a very special child. He is going to be someone to contend with when he’s an adult.
🤣🤣😍
“I saw that interview.”
Me too.
Teaching your kids to stand up against tyranny is not a bad thing. Wish more parents would do it.
He speaks better than most adults.
That kid sounds just like my grandson who’s also 10. He taught himself to read by age 3 and just built his own computer. I talk to him about politics too and he gets it.
The boy sounds as if he has been rigorously home schooled. My daughter’s two older sons, 7 and 10 talk like that. The older one reads voraciously and the younger one does numbers. Either would infuriate the average primary teacher and would gratify some others. Any kid so intelligent as John should be home schooled.
Cute kid but eff Fox. Amazing how 6 months later their treachery is a non event.
I agree wholeheartedly about Fox, but we can’t cut our noses off to spite our faces when we’re literally fighting for our lives and the future of our country. I turned Fox off on election night the moment they started that treacherous early call of Arizona, and like many others switched over to Newsmax. I didn’t give Fox another thought for months, until Tucker started actually doing some great stuff, and he has pulled me back in, at least to his show.
I am perfectly aware of the leftward tilt of the Murdoch kids, and I am always vigilant for leftist infiltration into conservative media, but there are a few good things actually happening at Fox now and those should be supported. We need all the allies we can get in this fight, so we should be very careful before we inadvertently shoot our own forces while attempting to pick off the enemy. Incidentally, after so many rushed, like me, to Newsmax, many of us have run into similar disappointment there, too. They do some great stuff, but they have also caved at crucial times to the leftist mob. We have to support the real patriots, wherever they are, and shun the traitors, but without harming our true allies in the process.
So far, the only source I trust nearly completely is the WarRoom, but even there you have to do a little bit of filtering, not because they put on any leftist spin, but instead because once in a great while they have a guest on who, even though they are on our side, may be stretching things a little too far (I’m thinking at the moment about Dr. Mercola, who is obviously a total “anti-vaxxer”, and didn’t come off, to me at least, as entirely credible). However, 99+ % of the time, the WarRoom is solid, and Bannon and his crew are obviously reliable patriots.
Your points are well taken but when it comes to cutting off my nose goes, if it comes to compromising my values, all I can say is Lee Marvin looked cool in Cat Ballou with a fake nose. Tucker is an actor. I like his script but that’s as far as it goes.
