t awensr is yes. the clock may be ticking towards worse... parodontax is 3x more effective at removing plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums parodontax ♪ >> tucker: a good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." to the crack down on america's civil liberties is coming, we told you that yesterday. it turns out it didn't take long, it is here now. it is unprecedented, and it will have consequences. this will cause extremism. actions taken to suppress extremism will cause it. those unintended consequences, we don't know. it's very clear what's happening and what will happen. if this is the first news, days after donald trump called for breaking of big tech monopolies, the big tech monopolies haves

silenced them. twitter has just announced the sitting president has been banned permanently from the platform that was his primary means of come, communication. of course, wait until the democratic party took power and they shut it down. they're in control now. silicon valley oligarchs are more powerful than the president of the united states. and they want you to know it. everywhere the assault on speech is celebrated. glenn greenwald is an independent journalist. we are happy to have him on tonight. you are a long-standing civil libertarian, thanks for joining us. >> one thing i think we are seeing is the initiation of a new war on terror, which i don't say lightly. i i say that because the bidens administration, what will be the biden administration in about a week, is saying explicitly that they want, first of all, a new law to further criminalize domestic terrorism, even though every act that constitutes domestic terrorism is already criminalized.

what they want to do is increase their power to monitor political groups, to infiltrate them, to criminalize activities thatth currently are not criminalized, nor should they be, whether it be advocacy or speech or other things. b they are saying they want a new law, similar to the way that the 9/11 attack and the emotion surrounding it was instantly seized upon to institute a whole series of new laws that indoor to this very day. secondly, they are explicitly saying that they believe that domestic terrorism -- so this war on terror -- is not going to be directed at foreign nonstate actors or terrorist groups or foreign countries like china or iran or russia, it's going to be directed inward, is the greatest threat to national security. we talked about this before. this is what they are likely going to do, because they've been focused for so long, media outlets have, the democratic party has, on donald trump, and increasing fear levels about him. that has been the key to their profit and power.

once he is gone, the strategy has always been clear, to inflate the risk of what they call white supremacist terrorism, which increasingly means nothing more than being ae trump supporter, and then treating people in the united states who fall into that category the way you treat terrorists purely monitor them, you surveil them, you restrain them, you detain them. this is what they are saying explicitly, and the silicon valley component of this is particularly menacing, tucker, because these companies have greater power than any corporations in the history of the world. not just wealth, but the amount of data that they have on us, and all the control that the exercise over our political discourse.almo a tiny handful of tech oligarchs are more powerful than any nation state.. and they determine what we can hear, what we can speak, what is true, and what is false, with zero accountability and zero transparency. the overwhelmingly donated to the democratic party and so for the democratic party, are part of that coalition, and jennifer palmieri, a top level,

long-term advisor to the clintons, posted on twitter that the reason that facebook and silicon valley are now censoring the enemies of the democratic party's because they know the democrats are now in control of the key committees and have to do their bidding in order to get what they want. but the reality is, they are the ones who wield power, silicon valley does, and the rest of us are subject to their undemocratic and unaccountable whims. >> tucker: you up and sing this for 20 years, and i was 20 years ago, you said laws like this will be used against american citizens, and i want to confess, i thought you sounded paranoid at the time but you are right and i want to acknowledge that, you are right, and we a should be really, really concerned.id glenn greenwald, i know we will be talking to you a lot. appreciate it. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: this is coming from everywhere all the sudden, and we are going to unpack what we know at this hour, but we know over the last 24 hours, twitter specifically has banned a numbet of different conservative accounts, not just the presidents. at the same time, the chinese d communist party, ayatollah of iran, still have their accounts,

because they are not a threat to the ruling party here. tonight, a competing social media service, parler, which we told you about, seeing massive and unprecedented surgeh in traffic. the site even experienced server outage because of new users tonight. why? a couple of reasons. mostly this. parler is a free-speech alternative to twitter. they don't censor you. you can say what you want. the president is on parler, and a lot of people have realized they are being suppressed by twitter. parler is succeeding. what happens now?? of course, silicon valley is trying to kill it. google has just removed parler without any warning from its app store. apple and amazon, which are services that keep services like parler online, have also threatened to shut parler down. amy peikoff is the chief policy advisor at parler joined us tonight. they seem to come out of nowhere. how big of a threat to your company as this? >> i mean, this is very huge because apple, in particular,

carries our apps on the app store, and as far as i know, technically, there is no other way to deliver it, so if they choose to withdraw their services and hosting us on their store, we are toasted there. most people like our app. our app is a very nicely functioning piece of software, and in terms of amazon, amazon is also raising some problems, and i'm not sure how serious that is, because i've yet to speak to them. i will later today. you know, they provide server for us.he and if they were to remove their services, then we would be down. as it is, we are having some difficulties now with the uptick in traffic, that if they took their service away, we'd be gone. >> tucker: i mean, there is a huge amounts -- it's impossible to overstate how much filth and political extremism, explicit violence, pornography, is on the internet. >> it's everywhere.ci >> tucker: but parler is being

singled out. it's impossible to not conclude this is political repression. >> i think because we do have the reputation as being the conservative platform -- although we are nonpartisan -- that is what everybody sees us as. we do see this as being singleda out. the other thing is we are competing with other platforms who have decided that they want to surveil the people on their platform 24/7 without any particular suspicion. and on the one hand, people don't like to live in the world of orwell's "1984," and on the other hand, a lot of people seem to want to pressure social media to do more to moderate, as they call it, content on their platforms, but that would require 24-hour surveillance. if you don't think that that is consistent with the principlesut of america. >> tucker: just to be clear with our viewers who are not familiar with your company and your app. >> sure. t

>> tucker: you are just trying to provide a place for people to say what they think. you are not trying to put amazoa out of business or dethrone a apple or force anybody else's carrier to drop their service. you just want to be left alone and do your thing, am ior mischaracterizing that? >> yes, we would just like to provide a place where people can, and speak freely, that thei are not going to be fact-checked, not going to be told what to think, what to t read, et cetera. also, we do not data pillage. we do not data mine them. we do not turn them into commodities and try to monetize them. we would just like to providein that service, and of course,e, like everyone else, we were horrified by a lot of the incitement that was going on this week, and we are doing everything that we can within our principles to deal appropriately with that contenti we work with law enforcement, as well, but that content has been everywhere this week. this has been a very unusual week. and to be singled out, we think,

is quite unfair. >> tucker: well, i mean, it is political oppression, period. google -- we ask why they did this, i sent a relatively long statement. we're just going to read a snippet of you on air. "we are aware to continue posting in the parler app that seeks to incite ongoing violence in the u.s. it continues. in light of his ongoing, urgent public safety threat, we are suspending the apps listing from the place or until it addresses these issues." okay, so they are accusing you of inciting violence. >> they are putting on us the responsibility for every piece of incitement that is posted there. and the nature of an open platform, a free and open town square, is that we do not take action on people until we are aware of the situation. particularly suspicious. >> tucker: let me ask really quick, how much of the world kiddie porn goes through -- many instructions have been planned on google?

like, a lot. right? this is a completely arbitrary standard applied to you because they don't like the politics of the people who use or site. >> i mean, it's looking that way. i'm hoping it's not that way, but it's looking that way.ha it's coming in sooner than i would have expected it. >> tucker: well, it's all happening at once. this friday night. it's happening all this friday night. we're going to look back on this friday night. amy peikoff, thank you for coming out tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: as we said, twitter has primly suspended the president from its app. the question is how far will this go, and what will its effects be?id craig dillon is a former advisor to the british prime minister borris johnson and ran johnson's social media accounts. he joins us tonight. crag, where do you think this is headed from here? >> well, i think they have set themselves a dangerous precedent. the question is, who do they ban next? the chinese accounts coming down, the supreme leader of iran regularly tweets, the venezuelan leader is using twitter all the

time, so are they going to ban all of these people are just the ones they don't like? >> tucker: so, in this country, similar to the u.k., these platforms are our public square. this is how people sort out their political differences, how they learn about politics and many other things. so when you shut these down, you are isolating people. it seems to me, you are insuring the rise of real extremism in this country. i mean, censorship makes people paranoid and crazy and frustrated and angry, sometimes violent. they must know that. why are they doing this? >> well, they are receiving unbelievable amounts of pressure from various people and their side of society, to ban him and do these things. it's an interesting decision for them to make. i imagine they took a lot of debating over it. but as you say, this is going to push people -- as you've already heard, places like parler and things like that. so it's basically just segregated the people. the only people that are goingg

to be using twitter are going to tend to be left-leaning people, whereas right-leaning people are going to go to parler in places like that. it's just made -- both sides are going to be a echo chamber, but it's not good for democracy. >> tucker: no! it's an attack on people. and they feel under siege. this is -- we are turning up the temperature too high, these companies are doing that. craig, it is great to see you. thank you. so, what's interesting, given that cnn calls itself a news network and journalistic enterprise, cnn has not only joined in but at the forefront of the efforts to squelch opposition to their worldview, to censor anything they don't like. and of course, at the center of their obsession is this show. >> tucker carlson. >> tucker carlson.n >> tucker carlson. >> tucker carlson. >> tucker carlson. >> fox news host tucker carlson. >> tucker: so we are flattered, obviously, and why wouldn't we be, when don lemon pronounces your name correctly. but there is something darker afoot here. cnn is working explicitly,

saying they are, to take fox news off the air. just as the president's twitter account was deleted. to take fox news off the air. they think they can do it. we will tell you how, after the break. ♪ he

♪ >> tucker: this morning, cnn announced it is working to force the fox news channel off the air. m run this company out of business.oth number of prominent democrats, including officeholders support orthat effort. cnn staffers have already contacted the six major cable carriers in this country, those are the companies that carry our signal into your home, and pressured them to drop fox news. why? on the pretext that this show is directly responsible -- and other on this channel -- are directly responsible for the violence of the u.s. capitol this week. it is time, cnn announced, for the tv carriers face questions for lending their platforms to dishonest companies that profit off disinformation and conspiracy theories. so here you have a news company calling for censorship. you have a tv network demanding that media conglomerates ban its competitors. that's terrifying. but it's also, if we are being completely honest here, amusings

because you can justo, imagine cnn's blustery little -- calling into his morning staff call yesterday. he spent a long night sitting og the tiny throne in his seat dangling just above the floor watching fox news and getting angrier and angrier. by the time he reaches his minions in the cnn newsroom to deliver the day's orders, the dwarf teens fleshy is quivering like jell-o and crimson with rage. "make them stop!" he screams. "make them stop!" the minions jolt to attention. the first to her battle post is a former homecoming queen in orange county who is eager.e not a prime time anchor. she would like to be, but she still just a news reader.ou a former cohost of a radio showc i contemporary hit station in yakima, washington, calleds "billy blue and breanna 2: the morning zoo." not everyone takes very seriously. she wants to be taken seriously, and this is her chance.. so she tries to remember the dwarf kings orders. stop fox.

that was the main command. then there was a stream of consciousness part, the part where the boss was breathing so heavily it was hard to make out the words. there was white supremacy, insurrection, domestic terrorism -- something like that. she tries to connect the dots. it's confusing, but she's pretty sure the word "insurrection" was in there. we are sure. someone insurrectioned or acting insurrectionly, something like that. it was definitely insurrection. she decides to look up the word in the dictionary to see what it means.d here is what happened next. >> it was an insurrection. take merriam-webster's word for it. insurrection: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government. knocking down barriers, knocking down gates, pushing police out of the way. police would be the civil authority as described in the definition of insurrection. they broke windows and doors, they vandalized offices.

>> tucker: [laughs] take merriam-webster's word for it. that's mrs. merriam-webster to you. here's the problem. this show, she explains, refused to call, but obviously highly insurrection event an insurrection. did not use the word, just refused. i mean, seriously. who would do that? well, if you really want to know who would do that, a white person would do that. a privileged white person. someone who presumably, unlike her coworkers at cnn -- in fact, the dwarf king himself -- was both white and privilege, afflicted with something called white privilege. so much white privilege, in fact, that it blinded this person, because that is the thing about white privilege, keep doing it, you go blind. that is what the boss said. >> tucker carlson rolled his eyes at the idea of systemic racism. at white privilege. but perhaps he should roll those eyes on over to a mirror. it is entirely -- that clouds of

black or brown americans would have been treated as a mostly white insurrectionist of the capital were on wednesday. >> tucker: [laughs] the lecture from the morning zoo lady. perhaps he should roll his eyes on over to a mirror. assuming you can even do that, when you've been blinded by white privilege.ro because white people can't see themselves, right? but maybe they should see themselves! they might stop insurrecting, stop being so white and privilege. it went on like this for an entire segment. you can look that up on the internet. in a way, that is the good news. with enemies like this, fox news will be around for a long, long time., jason whitlock is a longtime journalist. we're happy to have them on tonight. jason, thanks for coming on. so the question i have is havee you ever seen -- you have been in competitive journalism for years -- you have competed against other news outlets. have you ever seen an attempt by one to get the authorities to take the other one off-line, to

silence them? >> tucker, we are living in the craziest time of our lifetime, and maybe, other than the civil war, the craziest time in the history of the united states. >> tucker: yeah. >> and nothing surprises me. it really doesn't. what cnn is trying to do speaks to the level of fear, and clearly the level of disruption that president trump has caused, or potentially could cause. they are just trying to silence any and every one who doesn't demonize a visiting guy and compare him to adolf hitler and the worst people in the world. >> tucker: what happens when you try and do that? and can you do that? i know anyone who has talked more about social media and the effects on the country than you have. can you really silence people? and if you try, what comes next? >> well, i certainly think you can, and they are doing it, and

have been pretty successful atom doing it for a long time. they have amplified the voices that they agree with, and they have diminished the voices they disagree with. they have crucified trump supporters. and i just want people to think about this, and listen, i don't agree with the way president trump has handled himself in all situations, but he has picked on othert elites. he has gone after the u.s. president barack obama. he has gone after the mainstream media. he has gone after celebrities. the media and the elites have gone after working-class people. trump supporters are not elites. they don't have major platforms. they are the people. there is an attack on the people. whether you agree or disagree with them, you cannot demonize 74 million americans and say all

of their complaints are racist, are sexist, or they are nazis. you are bating america for a civil war. >> tucker: that's exactly right. that is the distinction. i don't know if you're overstating it. this is going to cause extremism.m. dangerous extremism. i am very worried about it. your point, i think it is a key one. they are punching down.. trump is punching laterally or up, and there is a difference between those two things. >> listen, in 1620, 400 years ago, people fled england because they wanted freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and here we are, 400 years later, and we are stripping freedom of religion, freedom ofe expression. we are silencing people we disagree with. this is un-american.ex and it's crystal clear. we need some real leadership in this country. if president-elect joe biden

wants to step out here and offer up some real unity and peace,id make peace with trump supporters. treat them like human beings, even if you disagree with them. >> tucker: right.. >> that is the american thing to do. >> tucker: treat them like human beings, even if you disagree with them. amen. jason whitlock, thank you for that, great to see you. so, we don't want to suggest that just the president is being silenced, or just fox news that is under attack. they are trying to destroy everyone they disagree with. amazing. we will have more on that throughout the show. but we want to take a break from sadness and bring you a happy story, and it comes from our friend dave portnoy, who has carved out his own space to help people. and he's done it. we will tell you how he did it after the break. ♪ we will tell you how he did it after the break. ♪

"the today show" did a very nice piece on it and helped out. this is one of those issues that i'm glad we are helping, but the fact that anybody -- there should be nobody who has, you know, anybody against it. this t is just people helping people in the truest sense.. and we are getting the $20 million, we g are close to we have had people reach out. $21 million. but why, you know, fox has been great promoting it, they have, but everybody should. because the more publicity we get, the more small businesses we can help, and expands everywhere. so i don't have that answer. i'm just focused, get publicity, get money, get it to the people who need it. >> tucker: you guys are as successful, i don't think as bii as blackstone or goldman sachs. i won't make you answer. where are their funds, by the way, seriously, where is jeff bezos' fund? sincere question. what the hell? why is this left to you to do? you run a sports site. what is it? >> i have no idea.

i'm happy to say elon musk is going to help us, so i think that will go a long way, but i don't know. maybe i don't know about it. i don't know what to do. listen, that's almost, in a weird way, the trauma of what we are doing is just everyday people across every walk of life, reaching out, unsolicited, can i give you $50, $100,000, they just want help. it is the beauty of this country. so much chaos, there's a lot of good. people want to help. >> tucker: that's exactly right, and that is why i was excited to talk to you tonight. kind of people have you been giving money to? >> it is all walks. we literally get all walks of life, small business restaurants, bar owners, dry cleaners, you name it. and not surprisingly, states that have the strictest lockdowns, california, new york, massachusetts, a lot of

impressive person. she cares about racial diversity. she cares about it so much she wants to penalize asian and white applicants and college admissions. not making that up. this is civil rights, according to kristen clarke. if you have the wrong skin color, you don't get into college. she will end the doj's lawsuit y over its openly racist admissions practices if yound ae asian or white, south asian,'s too. your civil rights are not as important to the head of the doj's new civil rights division. that sounds a little backwards to you, you should know kristen clarke is not stopping there. she also think identification cards are racist, but only in certain situations. if you buy a gun, of course you have to show an i.d., that is not racist. but if you want to vote, you shouldn't be allowed. be forced to show i.d., becauset that is racist. in september of 2017, she explained the reasoning behind this on her show. >> are there really millions of people -- you know the answer is no, they aren't. >> there are 600,000 people who don't have conceal and carry permit --s >> passport, or else they can't -- >> tucker --

focusm on hate crimes, and if yu look at -- this is beyond kristen clarke -- if you look at the left and civil rights division and the direction which they were going under obama, a there was an expansion of hate crimes, a stress on hate crimes, that could expand speech, for example. goes beyond -- to say certain things are certain words or express certain concepts, and you may have prosecutions on hate crimes with respect to things you say the wrong way. you know, trump supporters same things the wrong way.. there may be hate crime prosecutions there. w i'm sure some would like to do that. but take a look at what he crimes do. hate crimes -- we had a hearingr on this, you know, in 2015, for example, 1.2 million violent crimes in the united states, murders, rapes, robberies, 821 was hate crimes. you are statistically is likely to be hit by lightning as you are to be the victim of a violent hate crime. but more than that, everything is going to be focused on identity. one of the things that's

troubling has to do with crime, and that is that i suspect we are going to have more consent decrees binding the police w departments in the fashion, chicago, other police departments, that were subject to consent decrees. what happens then, a magnified ferguson affect, skyrocketing crime rates. same with respect to prosecution from individual police officers, cash bail, provisions are going to be attacked so that people are going to be out on bail or never appear, basically, for their sentencing. more crime as a result of that. as you just indicated, more likely than not, they will drop all the lawsuits and investigations related to higher education and profound, frankly unlawful, under any supreme court test, preference is given to blacks, hispanics, over whites and asians. that will go into effect. but the dilution of voting integrity provisions is perhaps one of the more troubling aspects of this. that is that there is going tote

be an attack on voting integrity provisions, we have a replication of the kind, you know, systemic irregularities in voting that we had in the last election. >> tucker: it's just beyond -- this is not the moderate biotin we were promised. great to see you. thank you.ea >> thank you. >> tucker: you may think the government officials want to get the coronavirus vaccine out to as many people as possible, but that's not true.>> in one state, hospitals weresi punished for distributing the vaccine. we'll tell you why, next. ♪

just proceeded to vaccinate first responders and essential workers and the state of new york announced that they are refining the city and taking away their vaccine, which is punitive, which is counterproductive, which is stopping vaccine from actually being used. >> this might make sense to you because the elderly should get the vaccine first no matter what but we have more bad news. officials aren't allowed to give the vaccine to people over the age of 75. those people need it most and they can't get it. >> i have to acknowledge the state of new york will not legally allow us to vaccinate new yorkers over 75 who are vulnerable, nor essential workers, and we are just going to be ready on the assumption that the public outcry and the sheer facts and what our health care leaders are saying are finally going to break through to the state and allow us to do this.

>> tucker: what the heck is going on? the man we go to to answer questions like that, or fox news medical contributor. what is this, is this true? >> it's true. back in 1947, there was a single case of smallpox in new york city and you know what happened? with glass syringes, the city ramped up and vaccinated 6 million people in less than a month. you know the difference between 1947 and now? one word, regulations. here, we've got regulations, a vaccine that everybody needs and we have a governor battling with the mayor and his you just pointed out, the governor is fining people if they get the vaccine and they shouldn't refining hospitals essentially if doses are thrown out because a narrow group is untargeted. i'm wondering if there's extra vaccine at the end of the day, why not give it to the person

was wheeling a person down the hall and a stretcher, why not give it to the people in the gift shop, cooking meals, or an older person in a room one who might be 76 years old that really needs this vaccine? now the governor today under pressure is saying okay, we are going to expand to group 1b and it includes everybody over the age of 75. i'm getting millions of calls today saying it's my turn, can i have it tomorrow? except they didn't look at the fine print because there's one word they are that the added. he said you can register. you can register now. he also said he is calling it matilda's rule after his 89-year-old dear mother matilda cuomo. he said my dear mother might not actually get this vaccine. she can register. may take 14 weeks before matilda cuomo qualifies for this vaccine. we have to give it to these front-line health care workers first, everyone in nursing homes and by mid-april, we might have enough vaccines for the elderly but i have a question to end, do you think the governor's mother is going to wait until mid-april? >> no, i don't. is she?

no. no vulnerable people were connected to anyone in power wait for anything. doctor, thank you. great to see you. it's been an amazing day just in the past hour, we have seen an unprecedented crackdown on the most basic civil liberties we've enjoyed for 200 years in this country and the first amendment is the freedom of speech. they pushed us into our own isolated little worlds out of covid restrictions, made us more dependent on social media to communicate with each other and then cracked down on our use of social media. can't end well. have a great night. we'll be back monday. have a wonderful weekend with the ones you love.
