Tucker has a message for politicians trying to censor broadcasters

Weak people are for censorship.

Tucker contrasts Joe Rogan’s podcast with the ‘news’ provided by CNN. How does Joe Rogan have 11 million listeners while CNN is barely hitting only 700,000? Highlights include:

“Joe Rogan may be the most popular broadcaster in the English-speaking world right now. Every episode of his podcast, called The Joe Rogan Experience, reaches about 11 million people and some of the episodes get an audience many times that. For perspective, last night CNN’s highest rated show had a little over 700,000 viewers total.”

“Politicians and their spokeschicks didn’t used to talk this way. They were not allowed to talk this way because the First Amendment specifically prohibits it.”

“You’re not allowed to use government power to shut down broadcasters who criticize you, period, and now that’s exactly what they’re trying to do.”

“People in the media are paid to be curious, to ask questions, to wonder about other people.”

“None of them do, they just want to lecture you. This guy actually is interested. But no one who’s criticizing him seems to know that. It doesn’t seem like they’ve actually listened to his show.”

“Those are facts, and if you think they’re wrong, tell us how they’re wrong.”

“But why shouldn’t people hear that? Why shouldn’t they be allowed to? Well, because Dr. Peter McCullough, who certainly has the credentials to do it, criticized the people in charge. He mocked CNN for ignoring dozens of clinical trials, making fun of a drug that could’ve helped a lot of people, possibly saved lives. What do you think of that? Well, that’s immoral, of course.”

“But notice what Joe Rogan didn’t do in the face of that information. He didn’t call for CNN to be censored because they spread disinformation. Because he’s not for censorship. You know who’s for censorship? Weak people are for censorship.”

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.”
