Ticker: What we learned from ‘the Twitter files’
Thanks to ‘the Twitter files’ revealed on Friday night, we know the First Amendment has been violated more profoundly than at any time in our lives.
Tucker looks at the ‘legacy media’s’ response to ‘the Twitter files’ released last Friday. Expectedly, they’re not pleased. Highlights include:
“The main thing that we learned on Friday night, last Friday night, with the release of those previously undisclosed documents from Twitter is not that social media companies censor conservatives, obviously we knew that. No one’s surprised to have it confirmed, no one denied it in the first place. No, what we learned on Friday is that big tech works aggressively and in secret with government agencies to subvert the outcome of what the rest of us assumed were free and fair elections. During the 2020 election, Twitter did this with the help of the FBI, committing censorship on behalf of one candidate while working to hurt the other candidate.”
“It is hard to imagine a more brazen attack on our democracy than this. This is not how our system is supposed to work. In fact, it’s illegal. What Twitter did is a violation of the First Amendment, as well as of established campaign finance law. They never declared those contributions to the Biden campaign, that’s a crime.”

“Thanks to ‘the Twitter files’ revealed on Friday night, we know the First Amendment has been violated more profoundly than at any time in our lives. Miranda Devine of the New York Post has just reported the FBI met ‘weekly with Twitter executives in the months before the 2020 election’ and in those meetings the FBI specifically warned about ‘hack and leak’ operations by ‘state actors’ that would involve Hunter Biden and would ‘likely come out in October’. We know that because it appeared in a sworn deposition from Twitter’s former chief censor.”
“It wasn’t just Twitter, by the way. The FBI was holding similar meetings with Facebook.”
“So, this is a ‘stop the presses’ story. The FBI is the largest and most powerful domestic law enforcement agency in the world. It can’t become a secret police force. If it does, this is no longer a free country and it’s no better than, say, Russia under Putin, or any authoritarian state. It is an authoritarian state by definition if the largest domestic law enforcement agency starts to play in domestic politics.”
“The distinction between ‘misinformation’ and lying is that misinformation can be true. It doesn’t have to be untrue to be censored. So, used to be, truth is a defense, if you’re telling the truth you can say it. Not anymore. With ‘mis’ and ‘disinformation’, if I don’t like it if I’m in power, I can censor you.”
“This is a violation of the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights, to the centerpiece of our Constitution, and it’s happening constantly. States reported posts they didn’t like, and CISA, an arm of DHS, guys with guns, got Twitter to censor it. Kentucky’s Secretary of State did this all the time. The documents show that. So did Colorado’s. In fact, Colorado reported several political parody accounts to DHS, which then alerted Twitter, and all of them were pulled off.”
“This isn’t just offensive. This is illegal. This is a crime, a very serious crime, a crime against our democracy, not trespassing in the Capitol or gazing upon Nancy Pelosi’s desk. Influencing the outcome of elections, it’s beyond belief, it’s also very common, much more common than anyone thought.”

Tucker: We’re Back.
At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.
Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:
“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”
“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon
When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.
Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:
“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”
“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
