Tucker: How Will Americans Respond if Health Authorities Remove Family Members From Their Homes?

“Might trigger violence.”

Tucker Carlson wonders how Americans will react if health authorities forcibly remove family members from their homes following a World Health Organization official’s suggestion that this scenario could happen.

During his monologue last night, the Fox News hosted drew attention to a statement made by Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Program, back on March 30 which was not reported by the mainstream media.

Ryan was asked by a reporter; “Do you think that home quarantine will be as effective anywhere for people who are positive, or would central quarantine be needed in order to have the same success that China has had?”

“In some senses, transmission has been taken off the streets and pushed back into family units,” responded Dr. Ryan. “Now we need to go and look in families to find those people who may be sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner.”

Responding to Ryan’s comments, Carlson said; “Just so you know, we’re coming to your house, seizing your children and ‘isolating them in a safe and dignified manner’ – whatever that means.”

He then cautioned that such a statement “might trigger violence – people don’t respond well when you threaten to take their kids, but Ryan said it was no big deal.”

During the height of the epidemic in Wuhan, China, several videos emerged showing people being physically removed from their homes by police.

Sooner or later people are going to reach the ends of their tethers, and it’s going to get ugly.

I scan the local papers link to the counties daily arrests I would say about 2/3 of them are domestic violence arrests. DUI's are definitely down with the closing of bars. Instead of getting arrested on the road, they are getting arrested at home..

"It is not a trivial thing to ask us to give up our Liberties. A lot of people take our Liberties for granted."

Most do.

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood.

It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”

-Sam Adams

While considering assaults to our civil liberties, it’s important to remember where this all started - in China, and to remember that they lied to the world, putting the world at risk. It’s also important to think about who in our own nation are the ones most likely to ‘use’ a crisis like this one in order to augment their own power.
