Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight 20200617

Telling you this to brag about it, theres already more than enough bragging on television, thats for sure. In any case, nothing in intelevision lasts forever, next week will probably get a three and rear of Gilligans Island order for our love for retrospective, will probably happen. The point of telling you this is to remind you that you are not alone. You may feel like you are. Suddenly, your opinions qualify as crimes. Dare to say what you think at work and you will be fired in the middle of a recession. Write what you think online and you will be silenced by the Big Tech Companies so you keep your views to yourself. R you have noe choice. A lot of americans are doing that right now, they are staying quiet and course that is the point of censorship, to keep people isolated and alone, to prevent a consensus that challenges those in charge. If youre forced to shut up they can do what they want to you and your country, thats why they do it. But last nights show suggested they have not yet succeeded, though they are trying. Millions and millions of americans agree with you. You are not crazy. Your views are not evil. What is happening to this country right now is completely and totally wrong and that will be obvious to everyone some day when our french revolution has ended. For now, most are too afraid to say that. One of the reasons we get to say that, and often do, is that fox news is an independent company. We are not dependent on the progressive tech monopoly google to make a living here. Thank heaven. Most Media Companies are dependent on google. Google control 70 of all online advertising. So if youre in the news business, you will obey google. Google tells you to do something, you do it. If you knowmi choice. They can bankrupt you in a minute, and they will. And all of human history, no single entity has ever had more control over information than google does right now. So if youre worried about the concentration of power in the hands of a few unaccountable actors, and you very much should be, but he has more unchecked power than google does. This afternoon, nbc news decided to use some of googles power to shut down a couple of its competitors. Power is useful for that. And nbc employee called Adele Frazier screwed from the left with activist group in england announcing two sites, zero hedge in the federalist as racist. Google immediately took the bait of course. The company threatened to ban both news organizations from googles ad platforms. In other words, to cut off the revenue. Adele was thrilled by this. She merely fired off a victory tweet boasting about the censorship she had inspired. She called the two sites are esright. Thats a term that has no meaning, but does suggest some kind of immoral behavior that she disapproves of. At the end of her tweets, she thinks the activists who helped her to silence competing views. For their hard work in collaboration. Hashtag black lives matter three raised bests at the end. Adele seemed very satisfied with herself. She had done her part for the revolution today. So what did zero hedge and the federalist do to deserve this, to be demonetized . Well, we ask to google and they told us that the two sites maintain unmoderated comments section. In other words, readers get to say what they want. Google finds this intolerable. Faced with the destruction, the federalist had no choice but to submit to google. The site deleted its Comment Section entirely. No more saying what you think about articles on the federalist. Google has bands that operated zero had stilled us up comments, so it has been to monetize. Well see if they can continue operating. All of this raises an interesting question though. Google says that it now holds conservative websites responsible for the comments of their readers, and yet, irony of ironies, thanks to a special carve out, google has received from United States congress,y something called section 2 30 have the decency act, remember that, google itself is not responsible for content on its platform because the Congress Says it doesnt have to be. So if youre slandered by someone, for example, and that slander passes through google servers, you cannot sue google over a period google is immune from the consequences. Immunity is a very nice thingngo have if youre a big company. Fox news doesnt have it. But again, thanks to congress, google does have immunity. Thats one of the main reasons that googles founders are some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. Because Congress Allowed them to be. Senator josh holly pointed this out today. Lets hope he and his colleagues act soon to revoke this privilege. If google will not extend 230 protections to others, google should not enjoy those protections itself, obviously. Google should have faced these consequences along time ago. Congress should have done this timyears ago. Its been clear for a very long time that the big tech monopolies have now surpassed the federal government as a chief threat to our liberties. Google is the most powerful company in the history of the world. Its the portal through which the bulk of our information flows. That means that if google isnt on the level, neither is our understanding of the world. To an unprecedented extent, google controls reality. Now, google has already shown a disturbing willingness to distort reality for ideological ends. Tucker and now it is happening. Google is acting directly to shape what people can say and what theyre allowed toin speak. Sits a direct effort to stifle free speech. O all of that is even truer today. So why hasnt the Congress Done anything about this . We would love to ask senator mike lee of utah. We invited him on the show tonight. He would notta come. Weve invited him before, he would not come then. Why do we ask him . Because he chairs the antitrust subcommittee. He is the man who could do something to protect you from google. But lee has not bothered to do that. Instead, michael he repeatedly has taken the side of the Big Tech Companies over your Constitutional Rights. The Constitutional Rights michael he has sworn to uphold and protect but refuses to. So the question is why is michael he still sitting in the United States senate . He should not be in the senate, that is for sure. We are hoping michael he is soundly defeated in hisur next primary someone who cares about the constitution and more to the point, about protecting americans from the actual threat they face. We are fervently rooting for that day, we will celebrate ithe when it happens, we trust that will. So how about House Republicans . This spring, congress meant doug collins, the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee and the Ranking Member of the antitrust subcommittee released a letter defending google and the other tech monopolies from scrutiny. They attacked any investigation of the Tech Companies that might have preconceived conclusions that large Tech Companies are inherently bad or must be broken up. They actually wrote that. Who is paying these guys, and more to the point, whose side are they on . Again, let us hope for a vigorous primary challenge to these two and any who share this view. Year in and year out, we vote for these people in the fervent hope they will stand up for us when it matters. Now it matters and now, like every time before, they sell us out. Time is up, seriously, it is too much. The stakes are too high, we need better leadership, we need someone to protect us, nobody is. Sean davis knows that feeling more comical front of the federalist, happy to have a montagnais. Thanks so much for coming on the show tonight. Tell us the obvious thing, did you know this was coming . No, we didnt, and its actually really interesting how this came about. We never got any formal notice from google, we never got any notice from their ad team. We we learned about this from nbc news, from the reporter ms. Frazier, who emailed a general info account at the federalist. She didnt email me or my partners or my founders saying hey, we are that google be monetize you, what you think about that . And at that point where we started reaching out, connections that we have at google and found out that it turns out yes, something was going on there, but it wasnt what nbc or ms. Frazier had said. In fact, it looks like nbc, the network that coddled Harvey Weinstein and matt lauer, by the way, partnered with a foreign leftwing group in europe to go after us and to use google to go after us and as of now, since we have temporarily removed our comments section, i can assure you they will be back. We are back in googles good graces but this is a pretty terrifying example of the power that you have between the unholy union of corrupt media and monopolistic tech oligarchs. Tucker thats it right there. And i think all of us up gotten over our shock at watching socalled journalists promote censorship, which they relentlessly do it the daily beast, cnn, nbc, but youve got to kind of wonder, our laws being broken here . We have an election looming on the horizon. We have News Companies trying to put their competitors out of business with the help of the monopoly that only exists because it has a special carve out from the United States congress. Where is the congress, where is the Justice Department, why isnt anyone stepping into stop this now . Thats a great question. And we rendered the same thing. We were subjected to all these demands in 2016 and after to get rid of foreign interference in our elections and here we have a foreign unit, nbc, with the orwellian name, the nbc news verification unit. The irony there is enough to make you laugh. Er seeking with another leftwing Foreign Group to the platform and American Media organization, one that is supposed to be defended and made sacrosanct under the First Amendment and trying to get us to platform by going to their leftwing friends at google. G so i think there are a lot of aquestions that need to be answered, especially by those involved in cnn who put forward a completely false and maliciously so article attacking us, slurring us, and slamming us and defaming us with things that had no basis in reality whatsoever and if this were a just world, there would be accountability for that. There would be accountability for fake journalists who go around trying to destroy their competition for the crime of criticizing them. Tucker especially siding with the most powerful company on earth. Google has a monopoly on search, the Justice Department is looking into that, lets hope they break up google. But in the meantime, donald trump jr. Actually today tweeted about this, i thought i made a really good point. This is intentional interference in president ial election. No . What else could it be . Thats what it is. That is absolutely what it is, and its being done by people who claim to be journalists, who claim to believe in free speech and freedom of expression and its not just that somebody came after us and tried platform is. The whiny cry bullies of the left do this all the time to their enemies. They cant win arguments so they try to shut them down. But to see this come from actual journalists who claim to believe in the First Amendment, that was remarkable. And the other thingth is, we are pretty big organization, where influential, we have a big audience and we have a lot of influence. We were able to stop this. Now, most people, 99. 99 of people who get canceled or do platform by these little marxist cry bullies, they dont have any recourse and its whats happening to them is the real crime, not whats happening to us. And no one is protecting them. Tucker all these people you vote for in the hopes that theyll vote for you and protect you from all of them are awol. Its really revealing i would say. Sean davis, great to see you tonight. Thank you, tucker. Tucker is not just concern of publications being targeted, its individuals as well. Yesterday a photo emerged of Oklahoma State football coach mike gundy wearing a shirt from the media outlet away and on a fishing trip. Why . Who cares . People can watch whatever they want on television, correct, and what they can wear whatever shirt they want. You thought that wasev true, you thought that was your right is unamerican but but in this revolution, his short selection was an ideological climb, crying. Current and former players denounced in from of the schools president then denounced him and he issued an apology. Nobody stood up to defend him. Brit hume is fox senior political analyst, he joins uss tonight. So, im wondering, this is always a question i ask you from having watched the parade come to washington for all these years, have you ever seen anything like this, a moment like this . No, ive never seen anything like this at all and you know, the crime, the thought crime that the coach stands accused of, and that is watching a man wearing a tshirt belonging to a news outlet that has been critical of black lives matter, which tells you once again, tucker, the power the black lives matter is now exercising four vast swaths of our public dialogue. And its disturbing and it is, tucker, unlike anything iver ever seen. And you look across the spectrum at the New York Times, which committed i think an egregious act of cowardice when there was a newsroom uprising about an editorial which weve discussed on this program, expressed a view about the use of military force that worked on these uprisings, it was held by 58 of the American Public according to polling. And it was deemed unsuitable by the New York Times, which at first defended the publication of that oped and then a few days later, the publisher, who had defended it, backed off, said it was unworthy of the standards in the Editorial Page Editor got released. Remarkable. Tucker thats how you behead an amazing and shocking piece making the rounds i think right now in which he points out a bunch of different examples from news organizations where the editors on the publishers immediately cave to pressure in her people after are news organizations supposed to be brave, is not the whole point . The thing in the news business, were going to tell you the truth whether you like it or not anand i doing the opposite. Absolutely enter supposed to be i mean, the old stander was pretty simple, tucker. I lived under o it for many yea, as did you, which was neutrality in News Coverage on the news pages and robust debate reflecting many points of view on the editorial page. It didnt mean that the editors had to agree with the viewpoints expressed on the pages. In fact, often they did not, and would say so in editorials but they would publish those views. W so here was a clearly mainstream view, just like it was by many in the newsroom and it resulted in aoo near mutiny to which the times buckled. Bu the same thing happened in philadelphia over a headline in which the writer had said that she was writing about, you know, various monuments and so forth in the city of philadelphia thar were being defaced, and he set e headline on an article about a that said you know buildings matter too. Oh, no, you cantt say that because it sounded like you were disparaging black lives matter, which clearly was not the case, but the nonetheless, the guy lostno his job. Hi this is really quite remarkable, tucker. Tucker in the middle of a recession. Nothing causes more human suffering and cowardice and its everywhere right now. N brit hume, thank you so much, great to see you, thank you for that. Thank you, tucker. Tucker the world what other 195 nations are fascinated by the newest addition to our global fraternity, trap, formally known as chaz, but the mysterious country has secrets it has not yet evolved.

Tucker the nation of chop is nearly a week old now and yet still surprisingly little is known about chop, formally known as chaz. Is the nation peaceful or is a dangerous . Is a prosperous, is it impoverished . Is a friendly, is it hostile . Like in north korea, we can only guess, snippets of information leak out supplemented by daring acts of investigation. We have one such boring tonight. Our our own Kyle Rothenberg ventured in to the nation formally known as downtown seattle. Heres what he found. [bleep] [bleep] tucker so there it is. Documentary evidence of life inside chop. Going about their business, customs and action. We should warn you, what you just saw is just a snapshot. The nation of chop is dynamic, changing even as we watch but one thing, its getting smaller. It already was small, smaller than the vatican but today chop was partitioned by the city of seattle. Several blocks back to its former overlords. In return, the countrys makeshift barriers were being replaced with solid concrete blocks because nothing makes a country more quickly than a border, thats what weve learned from chop. Jason rance is our man on the ground outside the nation of chop on the dmz. He joins us tie. I see that theyve beefed up their border security. They have. Although the city has decided to beef up the border security, not necessarily those who are living within chop. So earlier today, the mayor of Seattle Jenny Durkin made the announcement that essentially t
