Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight we take a lot of digs at the meeting on this show and we do it for rhetorical reasons its fun and they deserve it. Recently we have watched with growing amusement as our media gatekeepers thrash around in a frenzy of foaming hysteria over the possibility that someone somewhere might dare to present facts or form opinions without their express written permission, permission freelance thinking is what they hate most. It is a threat to their monopoly. We cant say that out loud, so instead they called it. Disinformation. Disinformation is the real threat, says the guy who thinks his union has the contract on bringing you the news, its ridiculous, but before you judge these people take a moment and feel some compassion and figure how they might be feeling right about now. Imagine if you had spent thirty years making a good living as a car mechanic and all of a sudden gm invents, an engine that anyone can fix at home with a screwdriver youd, be upset

thats. How CNN feels about the internet, its exposing their scam? Naturally they are a little irrational about it. Millions of Americans claim to conspiracy theories. This is all evidence of radicalization and thats, not easy to say its, not an easy word to use, but its way past time to talk about this honestly, no one should tiptoe past this predicament. Disinformation networks, like Qanon, are causing people to lose touch with reality. Disinformation networks that doesnt sound like a misleading social media post. It sounds like a terror cell and it sounds that way on purpose the thing about disinformation: they are telling us it is not simply harmful to you personally, its not like eating a of Ben AMP Jerrys or sneaking a smoke while the kids are at school. No disinformation is not a sin. It is a crime. Disinformation hurts everyone. It is an offense against this country.

Disinformation is an attack on America and not just on America, but more critically come on something called our norms. Our norms are so out of whack that it has become surprising when good things happen. Even after four years of talking night after night about the norms that are being shattered, he is doing everything to shred every one of these norms. We cant allow these kind of democratic norms to be shattered. We have abided by these norms, but this resident and administration has just blown right through those norms. Not since the red scare have once good men and women been dragged into this kind of sabotage of our democracy and social norms, our norms shattered shredded crushed destroyed bone through. Why is it always our norms that are the first to be attacked may be because our norms are democracies first responders they run to the sound of gunfire. Norms are like the young

lieutenant in Vietnam, walking through the rice, patties exposing themselves to fire orders to save the platoon. Never more so than now. You thought underwater welding was a treacherous gig. You fear for the guys who fix antennas on skyscrapers. That is nothing imagine being a norm in Todays America, they dont last long. Okay, we will stop. It is all amusing and hard to resist our norms. Our norms, on the other hand, being completely honest here, we strive to become fully honest that we have to admit there is a kernel of truth and what they are yelling about. There is disinformation out there and it does hurt people and makes people stupid for one thing, it also impairs their ability to make wise decisions. You cannot know what to do next. If you do not know what is really going on. A lot of people in this country are in that position. Right now we saw evidence of it. Just this week write a research paper called how informed our Americans about race and policing published by the Skeptic research center check it out online. If you have not read it, it is a pretty amazing document.

The researchers asked people to estimate the number of unarmed african Americans who were killed by the police in twenty nineteen. Here are the results. Forty four percent of Americans who describe themselves as liberal, believe the total number of killed was a thousand or more more than a thousand unarmed african Americans gone down by cops. Is that true? Well, as it happens, we have definitive statistics publicly available. You can find them in about a minute. The actual number of unarmed African Americans killed by the police in twenty nineteen, was twenty seven, so more than a thousand versus the reality of twenty seven quite a spread, and it was not an anomaly. The rest of the study found similar results. Self described. Liberals, for example, believe a strong majority of people killed by police in twenty nineteen were african American. The actual percentage was less than half that closer to twenty five percent. These are not small mistakes. A lot of Americans are completely and utterly

misinformed, and that has actual consequences. Public policy can change dramatically in the face of things. People think they know they dont actually know, and we have seen that a lot entire police department got defunded, so it is worth finding out where the public is getting all this false information. This disinformation, as we will call it so we checked we spent all day trying to locate the famous Qanon which, in the end we learned is not even a website if its out there. We cannot find it fair that we checked Marjorie Taylor Greenes Twitter feed, because we have heard you traffics in misinformation, CNN told us, but nothing there. Next, we called our many friends in the tight knit Intel community. Could Vladimir Putin be putting this stuff out there? The proud boys Alex Jones, who is lying to America in ways that are certain to make us hate each other and certain to destroy our core institutions? Well, none of the above. Actually, it was on Marjorie Taylor Greene. It was cable news. It was politicians talking on tv. They are the ones spreading disinformation to Americans.

Maybe they are from Qanon, you be the judge. We have a long and wretched and disturbing history in this country of black people being murdered by law enforcement. Training for police officers on implicit, racial bias and procedural justice, because to deny it exists, is to deny folks liberty and in many cases, life. How do we continue to lose lives of unarmed black men in the United States of America at the hands of white police officers? I never had to tell my daughter if she is pulled over make sure she puts a traffic, stop put both hands on top of the wheel and dont reach for the Glove Box, because someone may shoot you so not only are huge numbers of unarmed African Americans murdered every year because of their race to deny that or question that fact is to effectively participate in

those killings are self denying. This is denying them life as Kamala. Harris put it or I CNN said it is mass murder, no im not telling people to go there and riot, but tell me what the proportional response to mass murder over the years is: what is a proportional response to that im, not telling people to go out and riot, but what is the proportional response to mass murder? Good question: CNN Burning, Wendys. Obviously, but where are you asking this? But where are you asking? This is the missing piece? The channel claimed cops had tried to execute an unarmed african american man called Jacob Blake in Wisconsin, and they repeated the claim. Jacob Blake was unarmed again and again and again no charges will be brought against the police officer or any of the police officers involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man who was shot.

Viewers may recall an officer shot Blake in the man seven times while he was unarmed. Another example of African Americans not receiving equal protection of law him, Mr Blake was unarmed at the time he was shot. So it is sad that Jacob Blake got shot since seriously. It is always sad when people got shot, whether you agree with them or not period, but why Jacob Liquid shot is kind of the whole point of the story isnt it. Mr Blake was unarmed at the time he was shot thats, what they told us, and yet someone in the news division forgot to check with Jacob Blake about that, because a week later, Jacob Blake himself admitted on camera that he was in fact armed. I am rattled. I realize I had dropped my knife, my pocket knife, so I picked it up after I got off with him because they tased me

and I fell on top of him. I shouldnt have picked it up only considering what was going on at that time. I wasnt thinking clearly, oh just to be totally clear. We feel sorry for Jacob Blake. He got for it, hurt that will change his life forever, but is not the neat little morality tale? We thought it was. Is it and again we are not telling you that we are not correcting the lie, because we are smug and self satisfied and enjoy highlighting the other peoples errors. We are just defending our norms here as any Americans. Would it just feels like the right thing to do, but it is a never ending task to give many examples: heres one for the weekend, hundreds of activists gathered in New York to stage a march against white nationalism seeking justice for an 84 year old man from Thailand, who had been flashed with a box cutter on the subway, a lot of violence on New York, subway right now, protesters stormed through Washington Square Park chanting

slogans like whose streets our streets, one held a sign that white nationalism is the virus. Maybe it is the virus, but it is hard to know who has been infected with police. Have now arrested a nineteen year old man called Anton Watson for the crime lets say it is hard to imagine that Anton Watson is a white supremacist, so why are they suggesting? Otherwise? What is all of this about? Well, here is an interesting theory and it comes to us from a researcher called Zach Goldberg who does not work at CNN by the way old bird look at every time, Raci, Americas largest newspapers and noticed a noticeable spike just after two thousand and eleven, not coincidentally, was right around the time of the Occupy Wall Street movement. When people were starting to talk about what Wall Street actually does in public, suddenly, all at once, journalists agreed the real problem in America is its racism. America is not a place with a screwed of economic system that rewards a tiny number of emotionally damaged grifters, who

possess otherwise useless skills applicable only to finance and a place where everyone else, people in finance or making more. But that is not a problem. Oh no! Stop talking about it immediately, and that is in order. No America is instead, we learned from a place for the rest of us must hate each other at all times because of our skin colors, which, by the way, cannot be changed that way, once we are all yelling at a grieved and angry about irresolvable race questions once we have picked the wound until it wont stop bleeding, we wont have the time to ask even the most basic questions about economics. Questions like why do all these be a leaner hedge fund, guys pay half the tax rate I am and who precisely is getting rich from the Federal Reserve, wears all that money going. It would be nice to know you do not see a ton of stories about those questions in the New York Times. They are too busy talking about race, its a pretty sophisticated operation. This cover Wall Street op. If you think about it, Vladimir Putin could never pull it off.

He would by MIKE a few dopey ads on Facebook and call it a day. It takes a sophisticated operator to live this effectively to take the central problem of american life, which is the agonizing death of our middle class and cover it with a smoke screen of manufactured race hatred, so that no one even realizes its happening. You really need to be well CNN, would put it a disinformation network to pull that off. The irony, because everything is irony is CNN itself has become a disinformation network more powerful than Qanon and far more.
