Tucker: Are coronavirus lockdowns working?

Tucker Carlson gave his greatest address to date when he opened his Fox News show last night.

Every sentence struck a perfect and truthful tone. I don't say this a lot, but this segment is essential viewing. When I was watching last night I was thinking of these buddy tyrants, Andrew Cuomo, Gretchen Whitmer, Lori Lightfoot, and JB Pritzker.

Of course all of the are Democrats.

Here's one passage of note:

This is instead what happens when mediocre people suddenly find themselves with godlike power. Deciding who can go outside, when people can get married, which medical procedures you are allowed to have. That's a feeling of omnipotence, and they like that feeling. It fills an empty place inside. They don't want to give it up. They want it to last forever, even as the country dies. But it can't last forever, because it's not their country. It's ours.

Eight states, including Iowa, where Mrs. and Little Marathon Pundit were yesterday, don't have lockdowns. You can walk into a grocery store in the Hawkeye State you're not ordered to wear a mask .

While those eight states are rural, it's crucial to note that they have lower COVID-19 rates than the rest of the country. Oh, even in Iowa the great majority of people don't live on isolated farms.
