tucker: that seems like ake pretty tenuous connection to news, just me. by the way, i think other channels have covered this exclusively since we started 28 minutes ago. that is all theynu have covered for this hour so far. i think there s a lot of excitement about the search of the cohen offices and so on. but the question that you still have to answer here is, what really is the underlying crime and doesn t rise to the level of something, for purposes of impeachment, or as the questioner at the briefing said, the possibility that trump will resign an interesting question. is anything about trump s behavior, reaction to any ofge this, suggest this is a man contemplatingin quitting? obviously, palpably not. tucker: i m not sure that he or anyone in the white house fully understands what would happen if democrats take the house this fall, as many polls suggest they will. it seems like the very top of
we can control that down. then it will be facebook and twitter. this is the problem, tucker tucker: i can t wait for that date to be honest with you. today s websites, tucker, they are not only the method of distributing content, including the content that is necessary to change the culture for the better, theyr also collect information about users. so it s a very different type of media. tucker: i am aware of that. we have to be very careful about putting that under government control you would agree with me, tucker: i agreed with you ten years ago when i was a mindless libertarian who thought that government was a greater threat to our freedom. we don t want to end up in george orwell s 1984. if you think that information is troubling in the hands of somebody wants to make money, think of it in the hands of government. tucker: which is elected.
patterns than russia or china or any other government. why wouldn t that be a threat to democracy? the worst part of it, tucker, they behave as though they don t have an influence. as a result, bad actors have been him in a play the system, essentially undefended. my simple point is, having watched this company from its earliest days, has evolved into something veryry different thant started out as. i, also else, am a believer in free enterprise. i m also a bigger believer in democracy. tucker: does any of this bother you? i get that you are for free enterprise. as any of this bother you at all? i largely stopped using the apps in january when they went through their latest news revision to decide what i could see and not see. but thatse doesn t mean that i believe that senator kennedy or those other knuckleheads down there today and that hearing, which gives i say it was a goat rodeo but that is unfair to
