HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

♪ ♪

>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND

WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON

TONIGHT."

LAST NIGHT, WE DID SOMETHING WE

DON'T DO VERY OFTEN.

WE SPENT THE ENTIRE FIRST BLOCK

OF THE SHOW ON THE SAME TOPIC.

WE TOLD YOU ABOUT BLACK LIVES

MATTER, TOLD YOU WHILE BLACK

LIVES MATTER BELIEVES.

WE TOLD YOU WHAT THE GROUP PLANS

TO DO WITH OUR COUNTRY WHEN THEY

AMASSED UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNTS OF

POWER.

THE SEGMENT WENT ON FOR

20 MINUTES.

BUT IN THE END A LOT OF PEOPLE

SAW IT.

THE SHOW TURNED OUT TO BE THE

MOST-WATCHTOWER OF PRIME TIME

TELEVISION IN THE COUNTRY

YESTERDAY COME OUT RATED

EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT WE NEVER

TALK ABOUT RATINGS AND WE'RE

DEFINITELY NOT TELLING YOU THIS

TO BRAG ABOUT IT, IS ALREADY

MORE THAN ENOUGH BRAGGING AND

TELEVISION, THAT'S FOR SURE.

IN ANY CASE, NOTHING IN

TELEVISION LASTS FOREVER.

NEXT WEEK WE WILL PROBABLY GET

BEATEN BY A 3:00 A.M. RE-AIR OF

"GILLIGAN'S ISLAND."

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.

YOU HAVE NO 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 YOU'RE FORCED TO SHUT UP THEY

CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO YOU AND

YOUR COUNTRY, THAT'S WHY THEY DO

APPEAR LAST NIGHT SHOW ADJUSTED

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 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 YOU'RE IN THE NEWS

BUSINESS, YOU WILL OBEY GOOGLE

PAY WHEN GOOGLE TELLS UNITIES IN

THE COMING YOU DO IT, YOU HAVE

NO CHOICE.

THEY CAN BANKRUPT YOU IN A

MINUTE AND THEY WILL.

IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY, NO

SINGLE ENTITY HAS EVER HAD MORE

CONTROL OVER INFORMATION THAN

GOOGLE DOES RIGHT NOW.

SO IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE

CONCENTRATION OF POWER IN THE

HANDS OF A FEW UNACCOUNTABLE

ACTORS AND YOU VERY MUCH SHOULD

BE, NOBODY HAS MORE UNCHECKED

POWER THAN GOOGLE DOES.

THIS AFTERNOON, NBC NEWS DECIDED

TO USE SOME OF GOOGLE'S POWER TO

SHUT DOWN A COUPLE OF ITS

COMPETITORS.

POWER IS USEFUL FOR THAT.

IN NBC EMPLOYEE, A SCREEN FROM A

LEFT-WING ACTIVIST GROUP IN

ENGLAND ANNOUNCING TWO SITES AS

"RACIST."

GOOGLE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE

BAIT, OF COURSE, THE COMPANY

THREATENED TO BAN BOTH

ORGANIZATIONS FROM GOOGLE'S AD

PLATFORM, IN OTHER WORDS, CUT

OFF THEIR REVENUE.

SHE NEARLY FIRED OFF A VICTORY

TWEET BOASTING ABOUT THE

CENSORSHIP SHE HAD INSPIRED.

SHE CALLED THE TWO SITES

FAR-WRIGHT, A TERM THAT HAS NO

MEANING BUT DOES SUGGEST SOME

KIND OF IMMORAL BEHAVIOR.

AT THE END OF HER TWEET SHE

THANKED THE ACTIVIST WHO HELPED

HER TO A SILENCED COMPETING

VIEWS.

"FOR THEIR HARD WORK."

ADELE SEEMED TO MAKE VERY

SATISFIED WITH HERSELF, SHE'D

DONE HER PART FOR THE REVOLUTION

TODAY.

SO WHAT DID ZERO HEDGE END OF

THE FEDERALIST TO DO TO DESERVE

THIS?

TO BE DEMONETIZED?

WE ASKED GOOGLE AND THEY TOLD US

THAT THE SITES MAINTAIN

"UNMODERATED COMMENT SECTIONS,"

IN OTHER WORDS, READERS GET TO

SAY WHAT THEY WANT.

GOOGLE FINDS THIS INTOLERABLE.

FACED WITH DESTRUCTION, THE

FEDERALIST HAD NO CHOICE TO

SUBMIT TO GOOGLE, DELETED THEIR

COMMENT SECTION ENTIRELY.

ZERO HEDGE IT DOES STILL HAVE

COMMENTS SO IT HAS BEEN

DEMONETIZED TRADE WE WILL SEE IF

THEY CAN CONTINUE OPERATING MADE

ALL THIS RAISES AN INTERESTING

QUESTION.

GOOGLE SAYS IT NOW HOLDS

CONSERVATIVE WEB SITES

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMMENTS OF

THEIR READERS.

AND YET, IRONY OF IRONIES,

THANKS TO A SPECIAL CARVE OUT

GOOGLE HAS RECEIVED FROM THE

UNITED STATES CONGRESS,

SOMETHING THEY CALL SECTION 2:30

OF THE COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY

ACT, GOOGLE ITSELF IS NOT

RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTENT ON ITS

PLATFORM BECAUSE OF CONGRESS AS

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.

SO IF YOU ARE SLANDERED BY

SOMEONE, FOR EXAMPLE, AND THAT

SLANDER PASSES THROUGH GOOGLE

SERVERS, YOU CANNOT SUE GOOGLE

OVER IT.

GOOGLE IS IMMUNE FROM THE

CONSEQUENCES, IMMUNITY IS A NICE

THING TO HAVE IF YOU ARE BIG

COMPANY, FOX NEWS DOESN'T HAVE

IT.

BUT AGAIN, THANKS TO CONGRESS

GOOGLE DOES HAVE IMMUNITY AND

THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS

THAT GOOGLE'S FOUNDERS ARE SOME

OF THE MOST RICH AND POWERFUL

PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, BECAUSE

CONGRESS ALLOWS THEM TO BE.

SENATOR JOSH ALI POINTED THIS

OUT TODAY.

LET'S HOPE HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES

ACT SOON TO REVOKE THIS

PRIVILEGE.

IF GOOGLE WILL NOT EXTEND THOSE

PROTECTIONS TO OTHERS, GOOGLE

SHOULD NOT ENJOY THOSE

PROTECTIONS ITSELF, OBVIOUSLY.

GOOGLE SHOULD HAVE FACED THESE

CONSEQUENT IS A LONG TIME AGO,

CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS

YEARS AGO.

IT'S BEEN CLEAR FOR A VERY LONG

TIME THAT THE BIG TECH

MONOPOLIES HAVE NOW SURPASSED

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS THE

CHIEF THREAT TO OUR LIBERTY.

>> GOOGLE IS THE MOST POWERFUL

COMPANY IN THE HISTORY OF THE

WORLD, THE PORTAL THROUGH WHICH THE BULK OF OUR INFORMATION

THE BULK OF OUR INFORMATION

FLOWS.

THAT MEANS THAT IF GOOGLE ISN'T

ON THE LEVEL, NEITHER IS OUR

UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD.

TO AN UNPRECEDENTED EXTENT,

GOOGLE CONTROLS REALITY.

GOOGLE HAS ALREADY SHOWN A

DISTURBING WILLINGNESS TO

DISTORT REALITY FOR IDEOLOGICAL

ENDS.

>> Tucker: AND NOW IT IS

HAPPENING, GOOGLE IS ACTING

DIRECTLY TO SAY WHAT PEOPLE CAN

SAY AND WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO

SPEAK, A DIRECT EFFORT TO STIFLE

FREE SPEECH MADE ALL OF THAT IS

EVEN TRUER TODAY.

SO WHY HASN'T CONGRESS DONE

ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

WE'D LOVE TO ASK SENATOR MIKE

LEE OF UTAH, WE INVITED HIM ON

THE SHOW TONIGHT.

HE WOULD NOT COME.

WE'VE INVITED HIM BEFORE, HE

WOULD NOT COME THEN.

WHY DO WE ASK HIM?

HE CHAIRS THE SENATE'S ANTITRUST

SUBCOMMITTEE, HE'S THE MAN WHO

COULD DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT

YOU FROM GOOGLE BUT HE HAS NOT

BOTHERED TO DO THAT.

INSTEAD, HE'S REPEATEDLY TAKEN

THE SIDE OF THE BIG TECH

COMPANIES OVER YOUR

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT MIKE

LEE IS SWORN TO UPHOLD AND

PROTECT BUT REFUSES TO.

WHY IS MIKE LEE STILL SITTING IN

THE UNITED STATES SENATE?

HE SHOULD NOT BE IN THE SENATE,

THAT IS FOR SURE.

WE HOPE MIKE LEE IS SOUNDLY

DEFEATED IN HIS PRIMARY BY

SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE

CONSTITUTION AND ABOUT

PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM THE

ACTUAL THREATS THEY FACE.

WE WILL CELEBRATE IT WHEN IT

HAPPENS, WE TRUST IT WELL.

SO HOW ABOUT HOUSE REPUBLICANS?

THIS SPRING, 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 ATTACK 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 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 OUT.

SERIOUSLY, IT IS TOO MUCH.
