From the March 13, 2020, edition of Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight:
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): New York, California, and Washington have some of America's largest homeless populations. They also have the three worst coronavirus outbreaks. Suddenly, having a population that leaves needles and garbage everywhere and defecates on the sidewalk doesn't simply seem disgusting -- though it is -- it seems dangerous and insane. Jason Rantz is a Seattle area radio host, he joins us tonight. Jason, thanks so much for coming on.
So, look, we can't -- we are not epidemiologists, we don't know if there is a direct connection between the filth of the places we just mentioned and the outbreaks they are seeing now. There is no proof of that. But, clearly, this is a wake-up call for cities that you can't have Kolkata-like conditions downtown, no?
