now we go back to "tucker carlson tonight." >> tucker: welcome back to a special edition of "tucker carlson 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 terms have been buried by google. even if you literally type in the full headline of a breitbart news article into google it won't necessarily show up. someone at google is apparently doing this on purpose. on may 1st, for example. google searches for joe biden generated roughly 30,000 views for breitbart. after may 5th, 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. 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 justese just just censored by the facebook and twitter. i think anyone paying attention realizes

and what we now know he called tucker carlson before hand. but he had been on the air he was advocating against john bolton and striking i ran. but trump needed to hear it again. and needed to hear from tucker again. he called him up. he will not call the white house but if they call him he will answer. and it's much more proactive. so the president calls and says what should we do and he says exactly what you said on tv. and carlton later told friends trump needed reminded of who he is. that's not my they voted for you. so i'm glad tucker is running the country and not sean hannit hannity. that's a ludicrous thing to say but there is a degree of truth and with those policy impact on - - impact so there was a fox military analyst he was on the air talking about the time in the eighties when america actually shut down a plane killing scores of innocent people. trump never heard that story before when he heard it live on fox it impacted him. so i'm thinking we are in a situation the president doesn't know basic history but he is hearing some of

not just protecting our borders, protecting the country we are used to be in tucker carlson is even more aggressive. they become clearer in their messaging to their audience about what they are talking about is preserving white america or hierarchical america, both of them are very much using these tactics to transmit, to unify together against the foreigners, the dems, the libs, immigrants that are trying to destroy us. in that sense they are similar. the staging of it is more sophisticated. >> here too, you write you are part of the story. we shared a meal you -- when we were living in washington in the 1980 numplaps-1990s we would write for the same magazine, would write for the same magazines we would but the idea publish an article in the american spectator or "national review" is common practice, they write for a magazine like the new republic's, it is a mystifying experience that none of those people were friends of mine but most of the people you talk about, you might have known some of them better and they share certain values with us. >> i would say - >> we still have you on. >

of "tucker carlson tonight."ary of this year we traveled to the front lines of the rule one coronavirus court fight, at the university of nebraska, one of the few shows to point out the potential dangers of this virus. china at the time was walling off entire communities, locking people inside buildings to die, but you wouldn't have known that if you would watched for example cnn at the time. our media on public health experts, the elected officials in charge were convinced that the coronavirus was not a problem. at the time, tony fauci, as we showed you, said it was no big deal. nancy pelosi was touring chinatown in san francisco telling of her body they were racist if they were afraid of some virus from china. our elected leaders were convinced this virus would not affect this country. but we sent our medical contributor, dr. marc siegel and our producer charlie to nebraska to find out what was actually going on, here's what they fou found. >> how do you assess what the president said and put this news, if you

why was this catnip for tucker carlson and laura engram?hink former fox host ebony williams explained it best. i quoted her in my book. here's what i wrote. after she left the network, ebony williams decried fox as racist and fear based and the programming strategies was to address conservative fears of the intrinsic devaluation of whiteness in this country. white identity politics in other words. it all comes back to that. all comes back to whiteness and the backlash to a browning america. and the president, he eats it up and the feedback loop spins round and round. columbia university scholar nicol hemer wrote messengers of the right and with me now. we see the president tweeting about the 1619 project, nicol and her colleagues arguing the country's founding is based on slavery and that's been the project for the past year. he says this should not be taught in schools. it's, again, linked to what fox is telling him on the tv all the time about race. >> that's exactly right. i mean i don't think any of us believe that president has deep th

what we now know about that, he called tucker carlson beforeha beforehand, i'm not saying tucker was the only person, he was not but he had been on the air, he was advocating against john bolton, carlton was against the strike in iran and what happened that day trump needed to hear it again, it was not enough to watch on the dvr or watch it on tv, he needed to hear from tucker again, he called him up and he's trying to have a position about trump, he is not going to call the white house but at the white house calls him, he will answer, that's only way he differentiates from hannity, he's more proactive, he takes the calls and they come in. the president calls carlton and he says what to do, he says it be crazy to bomb iran in carlton later told friends i think trump needed a reminder of what he believes, reminder of who he is, is not one of the voters elect elected, i have a guy at fox telling me i guess i'm glad tucker is running the country and not sean hannity, it's a ludicrous thing to say in a little grain of truth in that and thought he was at trump any given time and the other
