Bill Nye Drops Mask Science On Tucker Carlson's 'Weird Claim' | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

    1. @HarleyHilderson I’m talking about the media that bows down to the Marxist BLM movement. The movement that only wants power, domination, and yes anarchy.

    2. @Triggering Millennials And how does your response address the fact of Trump and Fox News congratulating DeSantis and Abbott for the wonderful jobs they are doing in their state responding to the COVID-19 pandemic?

    3. @Borvo What on Earth are you talking about? Did you read my post? I agree, Trump lies a WHOLE lot more than Obama. And no, I didn’t “lie”. The Washington Post found Obama to have made 143 false or misleading claims in 8 years. Trump made over 19,000 in less than 4. What is your point?

  1. “Who was that masked man?” why that was the morbidly obese ‘Lone Ranger’ !
    too heavy for his mighty steed Silver to ride away into the sunset. yippie!

    1. Funny thing is the lone ranger mask covered the eyes. Maybe someone finally showed Trump how to wear a mask and see.

  2. It’s funny, we’re so proud of trump like when a child does pee-pee in the toilet for the first time. He’s such a big boy now!

    1. @DAT NWG they had to buy those bullseye targets for the toilet to get him to use it (presidential seal on his mask)

  3. Trump: “You know I was the first person to wear a mask. A lot of people don’t know this but it’s true….it’s so true. No one was wearing masks until I started wearing one. But do I get any credit?  Nooooo. It’s so unfair the way I’ve been treated.”

    It’s being reported that in order to get Trump to wear a mask, White House staff had to stuff it with cheetos like a feedbag for a horse. 😄

    1. If Trump had actually worn a mask first, no one would be wearing one now, and the media wouldn’t care about them.

    2. @Hopsta So please, answer me honestly. If Trump had put a cotton mask on back in March and said this is the key to stopping a pandemic, would you be wearing one right now? Be honest? You think the media would be agreeing with him?

    3. @Jeff M “. If Trump had put a cotton mask on back in March and said this is the key to stopping a pandemic, would you be wearing one right now? ”
      yeah. its the right thing to do.

  4. Tucker Carlson is an heir to a lot of wealth, his children can stay home with nannies and private tutors. He doesn’t care what happens to the common people or their children.

    1. Trump and Tucker are only patriots to their economic class. Their job is to distract while Moscow Mitch and co. transfer wealth to the rich while shifting the tax burden to working-class MAGA too racist and ignorant to defend their own families.

    2. @Michael Previs Anderson Cooper is not spouting hate and racism everday and asking people to send their children to school during a pandemic.

  5. As a child, Trump’s parents even had a hard time getting him to wear pants in public. He wanted to go to school wearing nothing but a Polo shirt, like Winnie the Pooh.😄

    1. @G. D. Truth? His truth is being able to manipulate his audience making them think opinions count as fact. His audience includes the President.

    2. Clucker is a good example of that old adage, ‘You’ll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

    1. @Luke Santiago In every single case? We still know very little about transgenderism, so to say you’re born with it as a definitive statement is absurd.

    2. @Luke Santiago Yes, you can. In fact a researcher in England studied “ralid onset dysphoria” and its a thing so they cancelled her. You watch there will be trans screenings and qoutas in schools with forced drugging.

  6. Did tucker carlson really just say that? Like science didn’t win WWII for the allies and completely shape the modern world… wtf

    1. That just gives you an idea of how so many people who only watch fox can be living in an information parallel universe. They do mot understand the concept of checking out different sources and compare the information received. And make sure the sources are the most reputable for their purpose. I guess when these people want a medical procedure done they go to their car mechanic…

    1. @Jock Young Well if you think people dont claim cloth mask work perfectly, or at least grossly overstate their effectiveness, you’re mistaken. And as far as non medical masks being scientifically proven, I havent seen this proof, and I’ve looked pretty hard. Where did you find it?

    2. Jeff M – Don’t know what search you were using, but try “cotton mask effectiveness”. A wealth of scientific research at your fingertips.

    3. @lch jr Ive looked and all I’ve found are total junk and not scientific and prove nothing. If you’ve got something you’ve seen that convinced you, I’m willing to have a look, but “google it” is pretty disappointing.

    4. @Jeff M Trump has politicized a public health disaster from the start. It’s a Democrat hoax, wearing a mask is a political statement, it will magically disappear, anyone who wants a test can get one, we’ve got it all under control, open the schools, the economy… How’s that working out for America at least on something we’re America first, that’s if you’re counting number of deaths and infections.

  7. Regarding masks a person said to me, “I don’t like the government telling me what to do.” I asked which side of the road they drove on. Not understanding they simply said, “the right hand side.” My reply was if you don’t want to follow government regulations you can drive on whatever side you want.

    1. @themooch of course wearing a mask doesnt not protect you….. but mine i wear protects you. and if you dont wear one you are saying , i dont care if i am asymtomatic, and i dont care if i give it to you.. selfish much?

    2. @MrJaas69 Dude, do you think people havent heard the “my mask protects you, not me” thing 1000 already? How does a pie e of cotton protect others from a virus?

    3. @themooch The idea is not to protect yourself, but to protect others if you are one of the many presymptomatic or asymptomatic spreaders.

    4. @Jeff M First, when it is not in a host cell, it is a virion, not a virus. Second, the virion only remains transmissible if it is in an exhaled microdroplet. A two layer simple cloth mask will stop such a microdroplet.

  8. Trump had to wait until one of Ivanka’s Chinese sweat shop factories made masks with the presidential Seal on them, and then ship them to the US for him to use. These things take time, y’know……….

    1. I like him, but he’s a TV personality, not a medical expert. His undergrad degree is in mechanical engineering

    2. José Hunter’s EW&F Remixes You know there is science in engineering right!? Physics, thermodynamics etc.

    3. @José Hunter’s EW&F Remixeswell according to 30% of the population, the President has a doctorate in microbiology and disinfectants.

    1. Tuck should be careful…especially if he has money he is risking lawsuits over perpetuating a lie, causing and leading to death of a relative, or my
      Grandchild. Eyes Open America.

  9. I was on a ventilator 20 years ago. I’d eat a mask every day if they told me it would keep me off that thing again.

  10. Tucker Carlson “Science and politics don’t mix”

    Nah I think you mean science and Republican politics don’t mix

  11. Bill Nye is such a gentleman. So many rude people around, it’s like a long deep breath out to listen to him.
