9:00 pm
a special labor day program. have a great weekend. ♪ ♪ ♪ you probably didn't see it live not many people day, but last month a former republican membe of congress spoke at the democratic national convention. if you thought about it, it was an odd moment. susan is a very nice person actually. people who know her like her.y but it wasn't really clear what she was doing speaking at the democratic convention. most democratic voters probably have never heard of susan and her whole speech lasted just a moment. what was the point of it exactly? here's the point top lobbyist for google. she was a senior executive at google until 2018. she wasn't at the dnc to speak
9:01 pm
to anyone watching from home on tv. w she was speaking to the democratic party itself. her message to them was very clear. silicon valley is on your side. we will help you win this thing. by inviting susan monthly lynnary they also sent a message back to elect joe biden and you can keep your monopolies and extend control over american life. this was a bargain a long time in the making. immediately after donald trump was elected in 2016, executives at google held a company wide meeting. really it wasd more of a group therapy session. the company's chief financial officer ruth porat broke down in tears she asked how google could quote use the great strength and resources and reach we have to continue to advance really important values, end quote. what are those values? they are not your values. google co-founder sergei bren was devastated by trump's victory. he found it deeply
9:02 pm
offensive. watch him go full encounter group in front of his employees. >> most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad for -- because of the election. as an immigrant and a refugee, i certainly find selection deeply offensive. >> is there anything positive you see from this election result? [laughter] >> boy, that's the really tough one right now. >> tucker: another oppressed billionaire. at the same meeting he suggested that google change algorithm very core of search business to promote, quote, better quality of governance and decision-making. b what does that mean? in other words, they want to subvert democracy, and everyone in the room knew exactly what he was saying and they got to work doing it. two years later video of that company wide meeting leaked. any other company would have been ashamed of it. the head of america's most
9:03 pm
powerful corporation caught onon camera planning to manipulate voting in election but google was not embarrassed. they didn't stop either, no one made them stop, so they continued. last year a new video emerged. this video showed a woman called gen geni who works in the artificial intelligence unit at google confess to trying to manipulate the 2020 election the one underway now. she said, quote: we all got screwed over in 2016 so we have rapidly been like what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again? once again, she is speaking about the results of a free and fair democratic election that google, the most powerful company in the world, didn't like so they are trying to make sure it never happens again. it's brazen, but they are doing it. why are they doing it? imagine you are them. imagine we are back in 2016 and you are a tech executive in northern california. you are in your 30's not impressive but have the right credentials. somehow worth billions of
9:04 pm
dollars. donaldme trump wins the whitete house, running on the most populist republican platform since teddy roosevelt. on ther so wide openly socialist candidates elected to congress. people are tired of awfully oligarchs like you. have you not improved america. someone might stock your stock options or seize your private island. what do you do next? silicon valley had a few ideas. first, they boosted democrats were aligned with wall street and multi-billion-dollar companies like theirs. as long as people are distracted by identity politics, as long as they were fighting about unresolvable issues like race and gender, you might be able to distract them long enough to pull this off. you won't talk about the fact that you don't pay taxes if you are busy attacking cops and other powerless members of thend working class. so there is a reason kamala harris and joe biden are now the standard bearers of the democratic party. not because voters loved them so
9:05 pm
much, it's because they are compliant. joe biden has trouble formulating sentences coherently. he is not a threat after 50 years for shilling for corporation. no one has used race tension to divide this country more effectively than kamala harris has. kamala harris has applauded the riots. watch. >> i want to make clear that i know there are protests still happening. m >> yes. >> in major cities across the united states. i'm not seeing the reporting on it that i had for the first few weeks. t t >> that's right. but they are not going to stop. they are not going to stop. this is a movement, i'm telling you, they're not going to stop before election day in november and they're not going to stop after election day. and that should be -- everyonep should take note of that on both levels. this isn't -- they are not going to let up, and they should not. >> tucker: the rioters are not going to let up and they should not says kamala harris. right. this is the same kamala harris who tweeted that michael brown was murdered by cops in ferguson, missouri. he wasn't murdered. that's not speculation.
9:06 pm
barack obama's own justifiable department concluded he wasn't murdered. that's a lie. but harris repeated it anyway and her allies at twitter allowed her to disseminate that nationwide. didn't pull that tweet p down. silicon valley is doing all it can to help the biden-harris ticket. this is just the beginning. this year, for example, linkedit founder hoffman and other billionaires threw major financial support behind an organization called acronym. it has set up bogus news sites in swing states to portray democrats in a positive light. oh, kind of like the propaganda they claimed russia was propagating in the last r election. right. this is the party that loves tol complain about the death ofis local journalism. >> but they are funding a propaganda network to change people's opinions before an election. and the goal, of course, isn't just to make democrats look good. it's to make you terrified because scared populations are easier to control. that's why facebook blocked a video featuring the president pointing out an obvious inscientific truth and no
9:07 pm
scientist disagrees with this. children are mostly not atat rik from the effects of thee coronavirus. according to the scientific journal, the virus is, quote, a general mild disease in children including infants. fatal outcomes are, quote, rare. if you knew that, you might have real questions about the lockdowns joe biden and the teacher's unions and some other institutions in this country are pushing. so you can't know it. facebook decided you should not be able to see those data from the lancet. twitter went further and had their 27-year-old majors lock down the campaign account until the campaign deleted video themselv in other words, kiss the ring, wiid twitter. we won't just erase the twitter we need you to bow publicly to our authority and do it yourself.ut this has implications far beyond the election. far beyond who becomes president in january.th
9:08 pm
this is about how much power the tech monopolies will have. it's about how much power the professional class continued to wield as the middle class dies. technology executives in san francisco were the product of h those institutions of left wing universities. they have been trained to dislike the country that made their success possible and they very much do. so anything they do that can weaken social cohesion in this country are thrust on our institutions is of course appealing, that includes pushing mail-in voting which everyone knows voter fraud. that's why big tech is pushing that and that's why they are backing radical politicians and da's like chessy boudin in san francisco. people like that degrade and destabilize our country. silicon valley is in favor of oft and has been in favor that since 2016. and they have been getting away with it. saagar enjeti is an opinion hosr at the hill, is he the host of the realignment podcast always happen to have him on the show.
9:09 pm
sager, thanks very much for coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: i'm trying to find a power center pushing back against the tech monopolies trying to push back about the outcome of this election and i can't find one. >> there isn't one that exists currently, tucker, except for the federal trade commission, the department of antitrust within the department of justice. and what you pointed to which is so important, is the fusion of what we see, the censorship regime within silicon valley and how it perfectly pairs with the biden administration, how they would use the federal government only force capable of reigning in these organizations instead to make the censorship regime into we have seen that jack dorsey donated $10 million
9:10 pm
to araham kendy to racist radical solutions such as a constitutional amendment or department of, quote antiracism. w all of your viewers, all of us know, all people who want true egalitarianism in the united states know exactly who such a department would be coming for. soon it will be enshrined in a biden-harris administration. what you see in terms of twitter's terms of service could be the law of the land under these people. >> tucker: so i think you said something really important just a second ago when you said all of us who want a more egalitarian country, not a quality of outcomes by federal law but a broadly middle class country that doesn't have these massive peaks and deep valleys of income distribution. that is making our country unstable. no one is saying that. no one is addressing that problem. why do you think that is? >> because that would require actually looking at the billionaire class that you looked at. people like sergei. people like larry page worth hundreds of billions of dollars
9:11 pm
in stock options and so much more. and asking why right now has the upper 20% of american society become richer in the worse economic depression of our lifetime and the bottom have lost 20% of the wages and lingering living a blown tire away from bankruptcy. that is not what you alluded. to, equality of opportunity which is what america is actually they want quantity of outcome to use their oligarchy power and manipulation and basically buying of the politicians, especially many of these democrats who are in league with them and enforce the outcome that they want to see. it's exactly about power and it's exactly about making sure that they won't have true equality of opportunity in this country.n >> tucker: so a financial crisis descends on the country. we can argue about why. probably the result of bad policy.
9:12 pm
but it happened. the top percentile of the country gets much richer. everyone else gets much poorer and, yet, nobody talks about it. you never hear anybody say that could it be that the racial conflict, manufactured racial conflict we are watching was designed to keep people from talking about that? >> well, you see it right now in how twitter enforces itsht so-called terms of service. they will fact check the president of the united states and others and allow rampant racial disinformation to go viral on its platform in several cases.al they have allowed disinformation to go viral which led to more rioting and looting. d did a single person have their twitter account locked there tucker? not one personal it. continues to go viral to this day. >> tucker: you mean if black lives matter came out for say 100 percent tax on jeff bezos personal holdings i might support them but of course they never will. great to see you. thank you. >> good to see you, tucker.
9:13 pm
>> tucker: we have covered tech censorship extensively on this show, unfortunately it's gotten worse. physicians not allowed to offer their opinions, their research about the coronavirus. why is that? recently we discuss the reasons on this show. we will show it to you after the break.ea ine is, mom's love that land o' frost premium sliced meats have no by-products. (his voice) "baloney!" (automated voice) has joined the call. (voice from phone) hey, baloney here. i thought this was a no by-products call? land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.
9:18 pm
welcome back to a special edition of tucker carlson tonight. if you asked actual physicians, people practicing in hospitals, they will tell you science on drugs, including a lot of drugs hydroxychloroquine. it depends on the case and what other drugs you use it in conjunction with.ch those physicians aren't makinghy our public health policy. instead it appearsli to be madey 25-year-old social media managers at facebook or twitter. and they will denounce you as a fascist for mentioning the word hydroxychloroquine. this is not how you manage a public health crisis. we took a look while it is happening now. so much in the news. new developments in every direction. much of it seems unrelated, a lot of it shocking. here's the way to understand it. in an election year everything significant that happens is about the election. all of these developments are in
9:19 pm
fact related. here is the core question in every election. who is up and who is down? as of tonight the president is down double digitals in the polls and there's not much question why that. americans are miserable. they are stuck at home, they are fearful. millions of them don't have jobs. the percentage of americans who believe our country is headed in the right direction has dropped off a cliff since this spring. not coincidentally that's when a strange new virus from chinara began to spread among our population. the rise of covid-19 and the united states tracks almost precisely with the decline of crump's approval numbers. and the political lesson from this is clear. the more damage the wuhan coronavirus does to america, th harder it is for the president to get reelected. o that is not speculation, it is the most certain fact in
9:20 pm
politics.at every office holder understands that if the population remains terrified. democrats will have more power in january. so the democratic party has every incentive to keep measures afraid and off balance. so the next 97 days they plan to do that. that is their entire campaign strategy. only thing they are running on. yesterday the news site breitbart, a group of physicians giving press conference medical advances in the fight against covid. some news was hopeful, there is hopeful news to report. 17 million people saw the video the president tweeted it. this enraged democrats. anything that reduces the suffering of americans in election year is a threat to joe biden's campaign. so they decided to pull that video off the internet. 15 years ago that would have been absurd. you couldn't have done it. this was america. you weren't allowed to ban a
9:21 pm
news story just because it might hurt your candidate's poll numbers. in any case it was impossible there were too many news outlets that no one could control them all. that has changed. rest of us sleeping in the case of so many of our senators taking payoffs from google a tiny number of left wing corporations took virtually complete control of all news and information in this country now if democrats want to erase a news story fewer than 100 days before an election, they can do that. and they did do it. science..ensoredhe they pulled the doctor in lab coats talking about coronavirus research and they hid that you video from the public. that's exactly what the chinese government so often does except when silicon valley erases your freedoms they lecture you as they do it. they all the ruthlessness of chinese authoritarians but with double the self-righteousness the american version. thankfully, none of this applies to us at fox news. we happen to work for one of the very few mass media companies left in america that is not controlled by google or facebook. we can report the news honestly. big tech can't censor us, at least not now.
9:22 pm
you can't watch on youtube tonight but we show you here and we are going to. here is dr. bob hamilton. >> i think that's important thah all of us here today realize that our kids are not really the ones who are driving the infection. it is being driven by older individuals. yes, we can send the kids back to school i think without fear we need not to act out of fear. we need toe out of science we need to do it and get it done. >> what youu just heard is not a crackpot theory it is at the center of mainstream science. increasingly what youm just head represents physicians around the world. children are not meaningful vectors for the coronavirus. worldwide there is not a single recorded case of a studentco infecting a teacher with the virus. not one case. a and that's why some nations around the world are reopening their schools this fall but we are not.
9:23 pm
children must suffer so that joe biden can win that election. that is the imperative. the political imperative driving our so-called health policy.ri hbut you are not allowed to know that, so they pulled the video telling you that. here's another physician from the same press conference called dr. stella emanuel. >> there is a cure for covid. there is a cure for covid. it's called hydroxychloroquine. it's called zinc. it's called zythromax and it is time for the grassroots to wake up. i said no, weie are not going to take this any longer. we are not going to die. >> tucker: dr. emanuel's claim is harder for us to endorse. is hydroxychloroquine part of a cure for the coronavirus? we don't know the answer. we do know that many front line physicians around the world have prescribed hydroxychloroquine and continued to prescribe it. we have interviewed some of them on the show. the drug appears to the show
9:24 pm
promise in treating early stage patients. that's good news. the science on hydroxychloroquine is not settled either way. science isn't science and not radical theater. science is constantly evolvinghe as we test and retest our assumptions against observed reality. that's the whole points of science. unfortunately, reality is not point of politics, winning is the point of politics. so they scrubbed that video. here is more of it. >> my message to dr. anthonyny fauci, when is the last time you put a stethoscope on a patient? when you stop seeing patients like we see on a daily basis you will understand the frustration that we feel.aser we need to start realizing that listening to you. they are going to listen to you. you have got to give them a message of hope. >> tucker: oh. that clip enraged them. because, above all you must
9:25 pm
never mock the sainted anthony fauci. under no circumstances can you note that dr. fauci is, in fact very often hypocritical buffoon who refuses to admit what he clearly doesn't know. if you say that out loud, they will cancel you. fauci is too useful to the biden campaign so until november fauci's word must be law even when it doesn't make sense. criticize fauci and you will disappearm from the internet. and so dr. emanuel disappeared from the internet and then google's countless toads online did the clean up work the ugly stuff.. daily beast attacked dr. manual for getting her medical degree in africa and suggested she believed in witchcraft because african-americans do that political correctness fine with the daily dr. manual must be destroyed the daily beast was happy to do that so were the think tank libertarians including some posing as
9:26 pm
conservatives people you read. people who work for places you probably sent money to. to say you saw them on twitter today hopefully reminding you this variety of censorship isn't censorship because the government isn't doing it. oh, they didn't explain exactly why that distinction matters to oanyone. in fact, censorship is always bad whether it's imposed by congress or whether it's imposed by monopolies that exist because they receive special carveouts granted to them by congress. it doesn't matter. censorship is always wrong. censorship does not improve public health. in fact, it threatens public health. the authorities responsible for containing this pandemic clearly have failed. we know that. some of them are decent people. they are trying their best. but despite their efforts they have frequently been wrong. we know that because it's on tape.ta so what we desperately need now as we always do in crisis and especially in a crisis that can be solved by science, is more voices in the conversation
9:27 pm
not fewer. want proof?ur here's the surgeon general. remember when he told us this? >> the world health organization and the cdc have reaffirmed in the last few days is that they do not recommend the general public wear masks.nd wearing a mask improperly can actually increase your risk of getting disease. >> tucker: so masks are dangerous. right. that wasn't very long ago. now masks are mandatory and the cops will nab you if you are not wearing one. what does this tell us? it tells us what we already knew if we were honest which is that scientific consensus changes. that's the point as we learn more our conclusions change. legitimate scientists understand that. that's called the scientific method. big tech companies don't care one way or
9:28 pm
the other because their goal is not the truth. their goal is to control the outcome of an election. it's not to protect public health. this isn't about public health and it's not about science. it never was it's power and no one in the history of the world has ever had more power than google and facebook have right now. so we should have seen this coming, people with power abuse that power and people who have absolute power abuse it absolutely as we learned. google deliberately made it more difficult for users to get to a number of web sites whose politics they don't like. that's not speculation. the evidence is clear. earlier this year we talked to one of the editors who runs a website destroyed by google. we will tell you what he said next.
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
died after an account with the police in march. eight people were arrested yesterday morning and 2 officer were injured. a vice presidential battle and one of the most hotly contested battleground states. harris preparing to make a firs campaign appearance since joining joe biden preston ticket . she will be in milwaukee and saturday. on the same day mike pence is heading to the western part of the state. the latest polls have democrati candidate joe biden with a lead. i'm an eatable will. get you straight back to tucker carlson tonight. >> welcome back to a special edition of tucker carlson tonight. the website breitbart keeps track of its traffic. of course all websites do. its traffic from google searches in the first half of 2020 measured by unique visitors is down 63% from the first half of 2016. breitbart search results for key
9:35 pm
terms have been buried by google. even if you literally type inav the full headline of a breitbart news article into google it won't necessarily show up.o someone at google is apparently doing this on purpose. on may 1, for example. google searches for joe biden generated roughly 30,000 views for breitbart. after may 5, views from joe biden searches went to zero. so the site was targeted clearly breitbart is conservative. they plush videos that were embarrassing to google. we showed you one of those videos the beginning of the show.r earlier this summer we spoke to alex marlow, the editor and chief of breitbart news about what google is doing. here's what he said. >> so you were just just censored by the facebook and twitter. i think anyone paying attention realizes there is censorship is
9:36 pm
realizes there is censorship is going on, but stealthy way. google has been limiting your reach without telling you honestly. tell us what they are doing your site. >> thanks, tucker. always a tweet. i will share breaking news on the show breitbart, we have done deep dive research into our google traffic comparing it to the 2016 election. we picked that because we unearthed video a couple years ago with our own allen bakari who reported on the global vice president of google kent walker endeavor to make populism and nationalism a blip or hiccup. we naturally took him at his word, because if you understand the left you understand they don't tend to lie about such things and started looking at our traffic and gradually since the 2016 election google has been diminishing our search results all of a sudden in may of this year we virtually lost all google traffic. all search traffic all together. let me give you some specific pieces of data. s google tracked something called a visibility index. this is sort of like their nielsen score. that's when your content showed
9:37 pm
up on their pages. breitbart is down 99.7%. overall our google traffic is down nearly two thirds. if you want to search for joe biden or biden, the chance of you getting a breitbart article are virtually zero, tucker. virtually no opportunity for you to get it unless you add the word breitbart which explains what's left of our google traffic. now naturally we looked at otheo outlets to see if there is a pattern. of course we have more access to our own data. we compared the top 50 or so top publishers and we found that 8 out of the bottom 10 when it comes to google search are right of center outlets that includes fox news and even of the daily caller as one of the two outlets that actually somehow performs worse than breitbart. >> tucker: this is not a small thing. google has a monopoly allowed by congress by the shills who allow this, senator lee among others, who really should be ashamed of themselves and therefore, the gateway to all
9:38 pm
human information in english. so if you don't exist on google you don't exist. did they tell that you they were going to shut you down in order to get joe biden elected or did they just do it? they won't tell us specifically why. they only provide vague talking points about things out of our control and non-specified are totally subjective. i think your thesis, tucker is right on the money here. this is 100 percent about the 2020 election and controlling the narrative and controlling whatra people read. if outlets like like breitbart cannot reach new voters via google, that is going to be all the more people getting their news 100 percent from cnn, the "new york times," and the people who would do anything in their power to get joe biden to the white house. >> tucker: maybe the congress should have done something about this before allowing a company that is not an american company. it's not in any sense an american company, to have total control over all of our news and information. maybe someone should have noticed. why didn't anybody do anything? >> that is the mystery that i --
9:39 pm
it boggles the mind. - i don't feel like the republican party feels the existential threat that you and i have been trying to convey to them. this is it. freedom of speech in the united states right now is controlled by google.e. it's controlled by facebook and it's controlled by twitter. remember google controls youtube, tucker. this is exactly why we saw these videos memory hold from the internet yesterday. guess what explanation we got from breitbart when they took down our videos, vegas, they wouldn't site a perspective piece of misinformation. mark zuckerberg, et cetera they apparently know more about a hydroxychloroquine and coronavirus than board certified doctors. >> tucker: we should say we would rather talk to them than aboutt them we asked representatives from all three of those companies to come on tonight but, of course, they ducked the invitation. thank you so much. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: so the tech monopolies are interfering in our presidential election, far more than russia ever dreamed of doing. is there anything the u.s.he
9:40 pm
9:45 pm
>> tucker: just a few years ago it would have been unimaginable for media companies to censor political candidates in election years. now it's commonplace. just this year twitter has censored several tweets from the president of the united states. in one instance, twitter, the company accused the president of the united states of glorifying violence. his crime?cc o he promised to use force to restore the rule of law on the streets of washington, d.c. twitter also used bogus fact checks to say mail in ballot something a massive fraud risk this is another example of election interference far more profound anything russia ever did by american tech companies. so what is dot federal government doing about it? d federal officials will tell you a lot about russia and the threat they pose to our democracy. no one ever seems to mention. this, lawmakers recently held antitrust hearings the president signed executive order that
9:46 pm
could revoke the special immunity that some tech web sites receive from lawsuits. none of that has happened yet. will anything happen? matt whitaker the former acting u.s. attorney general author of the book "above the law." he joins us tonight. matt whitaker, thanks so much for coming on. you can imagine, i'm sure you share the frustration, it's infuriating to watch large monopolies change the course of american history by subverting our elections and nobody is doing anything about it. will anyone in power do anything to stop this before election day, do you believe? >> glad tohe be with you, tucke. yes, i actually do believe that we are going to get to the bottom of this insidious reallye censorship of mostly conservative voices on social media. and i think the department of justice has been looking at this issue and i also believe that because of the way the algorithms that facebook and twitter and the like use to provide your news feed, i think that could be viewed and maybe
9:47 pm
viewed by this department of justice as a campaign contribution, that ultimately, i think they will step in and take action. >> tucker: i mean, we have two months left and it's not even a question of trying to get trump reelected or helping joe biden. i think the implications are far more profound and long lasting than that google single-handedly could erode any public in democracy. i just wonder if people at the department of justice see this problem in those terms. >> i think they do. and i think what is also happening among these companies facebook in particular, they have so much data on their individual users that they can essentially manipulate what you see, how you see it and therefore, based on their feedback loop that is provided they can then try to influence you to whether it's use a product, vote for a candidate
9:48 pm
i think the department of justice have to act because our democracy can probably not stand it this for another election cycle. >> tucker: i wonder since you are familiar with how the federal government actually works since you ran the most important agency, do you think it's fair to say there are federal officials afraid to take on google?he >> i don't think so. i think bill barr, the attorney general, is not afraid. really unafraid of anything. and ultimately, it's what laws and what tools do we have in the executive branch we execute the law. the seconds 230 of the communication decency act provides a safe harbor for these companies that i think, you know, congress needs to act and to provide some relief so that there can be more enforcement on that front. >> tucker: that's exactly right. that is a legislative matter. they gave these companies that special carveout. we didn't get it. matt whitaker, thank you for that.
9:49 pm
congrats on the book. >> thank you, tucker. good to see you, too. >> tucker: research scientists got a message from the tech monopolies this spring. don't question the coronavirus guidelines with your science talk. this has been going on for months. l we will show you how next. welcome, today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.
9:54 pm
>> tucker: welcome back to a special edition of "tucker carlson tonight", do facebook and twitter van from giving evidence based views of coronavirus lockdown, they have been doing things like this all year long -- subverting our knowledge of science, keeping scientists from presenting their data, none of this has gotten much media coverage if any. as soon as the lockdown began,ie youtube declared no one could use the platform to challenge the health guidelines of local health officials. in other words if you don't think you need a mask or if you think you can attend an indoor gathering or if you have any information or views that doesn't comport with local authorities, youtube is going to
9:55 pm
band you, google is going to keep you from speaking,, back in april, we spokend to dave rubin, he explained how authoritarians use -- he discussed whether f sensors would come for this show, he said they would and he was right. >> do you notice that the norms and standards of american life seem to have changed overnight and all of a sudden, we are being told we must accept things that would've been completely unimaginable two months ago. >> there's so much to talk about here, i didn't realize ion was going to be on a sci-fi show tonight but we are in a dystopian future, we are entering an authoritarian future because as i said to you before, authoritarians love authoritarianism, they areng taking this opportunity when we are all confused, all locked at home, the only way we can communicate with each other is through youtube and facebook and
9:56 pm
twitter, and that they are finally saying to us, this is who we are. the atlantic is ridiculous, i don't know anyone who reads it anymore, the bigger issue here is the youtube-twitter-facebook component of it. we are saying to them or they are saying to us -- we are going to tell you what is true. and if you dare go against what we say is true, not necessarily what is true but what we say is true,ru then we are going to bot you. if it will always only be one side that gets booted here. it is facebook running around and is twitter or youtube running around taking away all the russian collusion videos that were up over the last couple of years -- i'm pretty sure msnbc has a youtube channel that still has videos on it, that was pushing lies and misinformation and propaganda. so we need to debate these things. if i were to interview these two doctors that you showed the video of, would my channel be deleted, am i not a lot to talk
quote
9:57 pm
about that? is that not what science and open inquiry really is about that you test theories and you find out what actually is true? as you pointed out, it's not as if the w.h.o. is infallible, they were literally just a few weeks ago telling us not to wear masks, now by law i tried to go to cvs yesterday, i wasn't going to wear a mask and it said at the front of the store, it said by law you have to wear a mask. it's not as if these people have some total stranglehold on truth that the rest of us have to bow to unless they force us to and unfortunately big tech has got us more than ever because we are trapped at home and it's the only way we can communicate. >> tucker: no one in science has a monopoly on truth, science is a rejection on themu idea tht there is a monopoly on truth, it's the endless search for what we can prove -- that's what science is. you introduced as a hypothetical
