Tucker: This is one of the most important stories of our time

Government officials cannot suppress speech, that’s the Bill of Rights.

Tucker looks at Kevin McCarthy’s current efforts in running for Speaker of the House, and Democratic election tampering and censorship grabs going back as far as Hillary Clinton’s presidential run. Highlights include:

“Here’s the latest summarized: Kevin McCarthy badly wants to be the next Speaker of the House, but as of tonight, he is not going to be. He does not have the votes. It’s not a question of who’s good or who’s bad, who’s well intentioned and who’s not, it’s a question of simple electoral math, something Kevin McCarthy is highly familiar with since he does this for a living.”

“At this point, and as of right now, facing that mathematical reality, Kevin McCarthy has two choices. He can either step aside and let somebody else do the job, acknowledging in the process that he is not the only person in Congress capable of being Speaker, or he can try to win over the people who oppose him, as you traditionally do in elections.”

“In a normal race, that’s what you would do. But that is not what Kevin McCarthy’s team is doing, Instead, like the left, they purport to oppose. They’re using threats and fear to force people to support the candidate. Anyone who opposes Kevin McCarthy, one of his surrogates explained today, is ‘an enemy’, ‘a terrorist’. That’s their message.”

“In the summer of 2016, the government transparency organization Wikileaks released thousands of emails from the servers of the Democratic National Committee. Those documents showed conclusively that Hillary Clinton partisans had worked to rig the democratic primary against her rival, Bernie Sanders.”

“It was obvious from the start that that email dump had come from an internal source, probably from a DNC staffer who was offended by the corruption in the Clinton team, But, of course the Democratic party couldn’t admit that, too embarrassing, too revealing, So, instead, in order to cover this wrongdoing, the Clinton campaign claimed that Russia did it.”

“Now, you may have believed it, or not, but intel agencies in this country must have known at the time that it was not true. They would know, but they said nothing, and they said nothing because blaming Russia turned out to be a very useful political tool.”

“In fact, before long it became the default response to every perceived disaster in Washington.”

“Thanks to new reporting from Matt Taibbi, who has spent weeks sifting through previously secret Twitter files, we know the federal government’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies enthusiastically joined the effort to censor the political speech of American citizens, illegally.”

“At one point, for example, the State Department released a report falsely claiming that thousands of Twitter accounts were controlled by foreign government.”

“This is illegal. It’s openly unConstitutional. Government officials cannot suppress speech, that’s the Bill of Rights. And even at Twitter, executives seemed to understand that. ‘No, this isn’t feasible, we don’t do this,’ replied one Twitter executive.”

“But, in time, they caved. Twitter had effectively become a government propaganda outlet. How that happened and the effect that it had on American electoral politics is one of the most important stories of our time, and as we said, we know about it because of Matt Taibbi, who has been at the center of it.”

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.”
