tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  April 25, 2022 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT

5:00 pm
[laughs] that is all for us tonight, tucker carlson is next and as we mentioned tucker carlson is back on twitter, so now he can bother you on television and on social media. so thank you so much i'm glad to be back no pun intended. jesse watters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. a good no-show don't get those too often it's april 25th. now why is this significant? not because it singles the sudden arrival of oligarchy as you're hearing now it's too late for that is already here. every major tech company is already controlled by
5:01 pm
billionaires we've known this for a long time. this is nothing new. the reason today's sale of twitter is big news which turned out to be a pivot point in our history is that elon musk does not agree with the rest of the billionaires in the tech business. unlike the leaders of facebook, google, apple, amazon. elon musk leaves and free speech, he things everyone should be allowed to talk including people who disagree with him. i hope that even my worst critics remain on twitter elon musk wrote today on his new platform. because that's what free speech means. no that something american sentiment but in this atmosphere that is a revolutionary statement. of the five companies that control the flow of a truly all information the citizens of this company, twitter is by far the smallest of the group. but it doesn't matter. one platform going rogue is enough to break the monopoly. that means that you, now have real options for expressing
5:02 pm
yourself. going forward if you disagree with even the ministrations latest director and you can say so out loud to an audience. they're up there every day for the podium biggest megaphone of the world commanding you to hate this or that group. lecturing you about who's good and who's evil. as if your child and has no right to decide for yourself these things, the basic things. but before today you didn't have a right to express your disagreement in public. if you have an opposing opinion even more dangerous than that countervailing facts that undermine the story lines the tech companies which achieve down immediately. abba and us aven to a lot of people, most of whom you never heard of, never hearing about those people was the whole point of shutting them down. but that is over. after today you be able to post your place for other people might have a reasonable chance of seeing it. in other words you will have a chance to change other people's minds. just like the white house does every day. she just became a little bit
5:03 pm
more powerful, the people already in charge just became a little bit less powerful. it's that simple as that profound. of course you could change, it's possible that at some point elon musk will decide he doesn't really want the abuse on twitter that could happen. elon musk can do whatever he wants just as jeff bezos jeff bezos and mark zuckerberg can do whatever they want and often do. this is the cost to the rest of us living under a political system that is so dysfunctional i cannot even guarantee the core freedoms and promises its own citizens. and free speech is the first on that list why question him or depends on it. and the irony is if you like to save democracy you're forced to look outside the democratic system in order to do it. at this point you have no choice but to put your hopes in the good intentions of eccentric billionaire. there's no other option because nobody else is coming to the rescue. so in the case of elon musk we will see how this turns out. but for now elon musk's purchase
5:04 pm
of twitter is the single biggest political development since donald trump election in 2016. it is certainly the most threatening challenge to the corrupt and incompetent leadership of this country. they may not be obvious to everyone yet. but the people in charge certainly understand it. here is the scene inside twitter headquarters in san francisco elon musk deal was announced. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: sorry, wrong tape. but the very same idea what you just saw with the collective grief of people who thought they were to be fully in charge who totally believe that they be able to rule without limits, you're watching those people learn that actually other people get to talk too. and that realization is crushing
5:05 pm
to them, it's the one thing that they fear and that tells you everything about why those people should never be near power. people who want to monopoly on speech, and thought hate elon musk. not because he's a racist, he's not. but because they can't control him. they hate him because he persists in saying things like this. >> i make that offer? >> i think it's very important there is an inclusive arena for free speech. my strong intuitive sense having a public platform is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization. i don't care about the economics at all. >> tucker: free speech is
5:06 pm
extremely important to civilization. re-triggered by that? it's often hard to see who's on what side, so much lying for the good guys and were the bad guys? where here is very clear simple and an airing test for the tyrants? there anyone who is bothered by the idea that other people might get to talk. that is an unfeeling test it's 100% accurate. would you allow people who disagree with you to talk? if you wouldn't you are a tyrant. and tonight the tyrants are grieving. and congress democrats made a last-ditch bid to use their power to intimidate elon musk into backing off. congressman catherine clark said that they can afford to buy twitter they can afford to pay their fair share in taxes, reach weed if ready to support job guidance billionaire tax, excavation point. so did an actual piece is that
5:07 pm
was actually wrong for rob desantis use his power in florida to punish a company, and yet they're upset about this. all of a sudden democrats are calling for any kind of higher taxes on the big companies that fund their campaigns. but if they did not fund their campaigns. congressman coleman said this if you can buy a major social media platform you can pay your fair share in taxes, tax the rich. i have entered that from the left in a while. by the so mad? because there monopoly on speech and information the ability to control what you believe has been broken. so once again the resorting to force to get you to shut up this is an attack on elon musk and knock attacks him in a poverty is the richest man this is an attack on you and your right speak freely to express your conscious and public. before once is not working in the media are infuriated,
5:08 pm
they're profoundly threatened by a free internet watch. >> elon musk is a new power of the social media giant and he is foaming the runways for the return of the trolls. >> this is happening in the background them on love saying that i want to buy twitter so i can open it up and turn into gab and let donald trump back. there are real consequences to allowing anyone to run these internet sites and save it over they want to. >> elon musk is the fox coming into the hun house and it is shameful that twitter which has a fiduciary obligation i would think to protect people who actually use it. the millions of people who actually use it, to the ask a single woman? a single woman with a single woman consulted? with a single person of color who does uses twitter and nieces for the job? [laughs] [laughs] >> tucker: so elon musk is a threat to the week, see the most
5:09 pm
privileged and powerful people in our society. they're really standing up for the week no. the week you aren't allowed to stay with a really think. those of the week what you just saw are the strong demanding the silence of the week. everyone's kind of figured this out except for the people demanding it. the are so up their own bots that we just heard that there are fiduciary duty to ignore their shareholders and block the deal to increase their decline in the market. [laughs] it doesn't make any sense. and of course at the bottom of the meltdown so is the same thing, he's a racist. with a "new york times" piece telling you elon musk is a racist. shawn king the face black activists said this. at its root elon musk want to purchase twitter is not about left versus right, it's about white power, the man was raised in apartheid with a white nationalist.
5:10 pm
the one allow white nationalist people to allow other people that's his version of free speech. [laughs] a fake blackeye attack and because of his parents? so elon musk has abundant tax point by point it's a meal a bit pathetic if you care about democracy and pinning your hopes up on one guy but again what our options at this point? so far so far elon musk is that all the right things statements this afternoon announcing his purchase of twitter said this. free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy and twitter is a digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. also make twitter better than ever by enhancing the product in the future we can the algorithms open source to increased trust defeating the spambots and authenticating all humans. twitter has tremendous potential and look forward to working with the company helping users to unlock it." that's even half true house and on improvement of what we
5:11 pm
currently have? were people are arbitrarily banned depending upon the whims of politicians in charge. where the powerful curse the week to maintain their power if you think the status quo is better than that? then you are a tyrants. douglas murray is the author of a brand-new and fantastic book is called the war on the west. very much worth reading. i have on desk here. thank you so much for coming on, as a historian seen the overview here when you make the social media platform? >> it's very important indeed because he said the other week recognizes that twitter is effectively the public square. it is become the public square in america. we may not like that but that's with become. when the public square suddenly has not just superintendents who can police it, but also people who pretend not to be policing up actually are. the van people and taking them away without people knowing that they've been banned or taken away. there's something rotten.
5:12 pm
the platform needed to be reformed. it desperately needed to be reformed and here's the thing. the thing i can see today twitter took on this responsibility be in the public square i was totally unfit for the task. they silence and effectively banned for. people are right for "the new york post" because he was running information a great story have an election i just didn't want to get out there, meantime of the people were allowed to say things that are actually untrue. "the new york times" is probably the most famous stories 16-19 project which is the end the war in the west. total fabrication of american history nobody at twitter thought why didn't we mute "the new york times" account that she has a reasonable account for american history on its website. and as a mixed above about every founding father of america and every hero of the american republic. they didn't think that at all. no, they'd thought they'd shut down "the new york post" from running something that wasn't in favor of their particular hackery that day.
5:13 pm
>> tucker: one of the points he made which you said that i love is that so many of the experts and historians from our view of the past and hence our expectation of the future are basically illiterate who don't even read, they have no grounding in actual history the most media core bubbles up occasionally and the stories are pretty good. should we be encouraging that? >> that's why i'm really keen to. the people i criticize the book d'angelo, do not really public figures because they refuse to debate in public. whenever debate their ideas because her ideas would fall apart. my belief is the more we can actually have the debate out the better it's like to be. see for instance the people i critique of the book of attack everyone american history who tried to tear american history apart any american presidents. this cocoon able to do that largely unopposed. they get wafted up that american universities. they get wafted up in the
5:14 pm
pulitzer prize is a much more. these people have had such a run and easy run for such a long time and want to help arm the american public to know how to fight back and get these people on the back foot which is where they should be. >> tucker: douglas things are much appreciated. >> thank you. >> tucker: elon musk has been off a lot here famously smart we probably understand that but what is it like to run a digital media property that's maybe out of step with the hurt? dave portnoy has on that a long time for school sports asking him [laughs] you don't want political site you don't to be controlled they've gone after your personal life, they really vex you try to destroy you for real what you think elon musk is in for? >> while he is one big advantage over me is now in control of twitter he is the ultimate say. elon said something wrong true to me. if you run this correctly 10% on each side or to hate you.
5:15 pm
i must think about this elon musk buying twitter. even come on the show you know tucker people thing a political all the complaining is from one side. some from the other. you just want even playing field. a sublease of summing about you with the ability to respond, what i find happens is people that i can name julia haack comes people like this just throw shots that you when you respond twitter if an army of bots and people who say harassment, harassment, harassment and they get you banned. they throw all the arrows and if you respond once or defend yourself you get banned again in trouble, i think that is essentially whisper this on on for elon musk because he got muted he said hey, let's open the playing field exchange some ideas. i will again want to sing so much of our unthinkingly clear mom no. but if you have an idea or a thought that criticizes the other side that allows response. but the good news is he's the
5:16 pm
ultimate guy's ultimate gang starts a million times. i wish i could be him if you like me don't like what's going on i'm scared by open letter run. he sesame very key piece he played earlier. is not about economics. how much of that is true i'm not sure, because everything he turns into his gold. the major thing is whatever you look, wise one side all complaining and the other side isn't western mark that tells everything. need to make an even playing field that's when anybody wants the ability to speak back and debate points. >> tucker: but what you said is the definition of fairness, it's how we conduct sports and business at its best. why is that such a threat when it takes place in the media? >> i'm think that there is an illusion. but there is no fairness going on. there's an account the business insider, they do tweet that said how great it was that jeff bezos
5:17 pm
is paying them bind "the washington post." now they do tweet that said this is the end of civilization because elon musk is buying twitter. it just depends what you're looking for but the key thing is there is no fairness, anyone is paying attention there's nothing fair. there's the illusion of fairness with me were trying to be fair but anyone who's paid an ounce of attention was that each platform specifically lean certain ways. and the craziest thing is, instagram or the facebook or zuckerberg, if you like that sensor 10x with twitter does. i'll do it and they all certain ways. there's nothing wrong with fairness but you're an idiot if you think these are neutral platforms anymore so insert newspapers in certain ways or even news or cnn. we think those are looking at every subject on the middle wall, your head is in the sand the same with twitter. >> tucker: all you can ask for his clarity and giving other people the opportunity to
5:18 pm
respond answer is promising. >> if you listen to anything that he set out don't know why anyone owing to the side would have a problem with it. the leasing he wants it dead down the middle and have 10% of both sides to be like this is wrong, that's how he knows it's good. ever heard anyone political but elon musk. simple as it is and as stupid as it is, he's not gonna bring back trauma. that's a lot of audible people are free not about. >> tucker: i think you're absolutely right. dave portnoy thank you so much for that. >> thank you. >> tucker: so there is but an invasion of sovereign countries has been invaded by millions of foreigners, oats our country is not ukraine. the department of homeland security says that nearly 20,000 migrants have come each day into our country, 20,001c administration trays and title 42 a life report on what's happening on a border. who shocked by it will talk to them next. ♪ ♪

5:35 pm
but there is a fascinating common denominator which is that all of these dangerous episodes happened at plants or facilities that process or store food. and of course with inflation its food court shortages in the war in ukraine the timing here cannot be worse. we should note that over the past several years major incidents that food plants have happen on a fairly regular basis but it is the recent and dramatic increase in frequency that really caught our eye. in 2017 be found documented cases of eight food plants throughout the country that had destructive mishaps in 2018, there were six and a 2019 it was back up to eight. skip 2,020 because of covid but in 2,021 there were 11 incidents, a combination of fires, explosions, but already in the first four months of 2,022 there've been 17 major incidents were talking fires, chemical leaks, explosions, and in the span of just one week

during the safest point in aviation history. we also had two planes that crashed into food plants, one in georgia, one in idaho, the faa are investigating those because they investigate every plane crash but interesting that despite the bad timing and a huge uptick in destruction of food plants so far there is not appear to be a public and widescale investigation by either of the fda or the department of agriculture. we'll keep you posted tucker. >> tucker: amazing story, think with that. so again, were not saying anyone is responsible we don't really know but we do know it's happening with turning out to be a very disastrous year for food production in the united states. he is the ongoing tragedy ethanol which is take strong prices to a point where it's not even worth it to form for crops that you might eat. so what is the overall effect of

5:38 pm
everyone should feel for them but how can you ignore your own countries food, water and energy supply? that's the basis of everything or missing something? >> and you think you're missing anything at all. i think this a administration has been a very clear that the green new deal and climate change and billions of dollars going to washington, d.c., as her agenda and they could care less about the american people, our food supply and a food security of always said no farm, no fuel in the future. by definition, biological fact is why they're knowing it. are you worried? >> as a dairy farmer i am. we sent 74,000 dairy farms go out since 2003. i'm worried for my be farmers in all four major packers are to putting on the price. i'm worried about pretty much all agriculture was our future looking like and how are americans can rally around our agriculture community? we must support our local agriculture we cannot let
