Hack Democratic Party email accounts. Now, lets assume that all of these deeply worried people are sincere, that they really care about the integrity of our democracy. Then why has almost nobody said anything about the tech monop y monopolies that dominate the exchange of information in this country . If a few dozen facebook ads are enough to subvert an election shouldnt we be worried about facebook itself which controls literally bill lons of ads . A couple of times on this show social scientist Robert Epstein has pointed out that google alone could determine the outcome of almost any American Election just by altering its search supgts. Wed never know what happened. Oh, say tech defenders dont worry, these are businesses, they exist to make money not push plirt cal agendas. Turns out thats not true and woe can prove it. An email obtained excusively by this show revealed that a senior google employee deployed the Company Resources to increase voter turnout in ways she believed would help the Clinton Campaign win in the last election. The email came from a woman named eliono mario, the head of the multi cultural marketing department. She sent it one day after the president election. That email was subsequently forwarded by two google Vice President s to more Staff Members throughout the company. In her email, she touts googles multi facetted efforts to boost hispanic turnout. Latinos voted in recordbreaking numbers especially in florida, nevada, and arizona of the last of which she describes as, quote, a key state for us. She brags that the company used its power to ensure that millions of people saw certain hash tags and social media impressions with the goal of influencing their behavior during the election. Elsewhere in the email, she says google, quote, supported partners like voto latino to pay for rides to the polls in key states. She describes this assistant as the silent donation. She then says google helped voto latino ad campaigns to promote the rides. Officially it is a nonpartisan entity but thats a sham. It is vocally partisan. Recently the group declared that hispanics all hispanics are in President Trumps, quote, crosshairs. They said they plan to respond by registering another million hispanic voters in the next president ial cycle. Voto latino has clear political goals, goals that google supported in 2016. We ask both google and voto latino for clarification, what did she mean by a silent donation. This is a potentially significant legal question. Neither company responded to us. At the end of her email she makes it clear that google was working to get Hillary Clinton elected. This wasnt a get out the vote effort, whatever they say, it was not aimed at all potential voters. It wasnt even aimed at a balanced Cross Section of sub groups. Google didnt try to get out the vote among christian arabs in michigan or persian jews in los angeles, they sometimes vote republican. It was aimed only at one group, a group that google cynically assumed would vote exclusively for the Democratic Party. Furthermore this mobilization effort targeted not the entire country but swing states vital to the hillary campaign. It was not an exercise that civics, it was political consulting, an inkind contribution to the Hillary Clinton for president campaign. In the end google was disappointed as mario conceded, quote, ultimately after all was said and done the Latino Community came of the to vote and completely surprised us. We never anticipated that 29 of latinos would vote for trump. No one did f you see a laene tino googler in the office give them a smile, theyre probably hurting right now. You can rest assured that the will tinos of these blue states need your thoughts and prayers for them and their families. I had planned a vacation and thought i would be taking the time to celebrate. Now it will be time to reflect on how to continue to support my community through these difficult times, end quote. Nobody at the dnc was more upset by the results than mario. Google tried to get hillary elected, they failed this time. We reached out to google, the company did not deny the email was real or showed a clear political preference. Their only defense was the activities it described were nonpartisan or werent taken officially by the company. But of course they were both. Plenty of people in google knew what was going on and weve seen no evidence that anyone at google disapproved of it or tried to reign it in. Rein it in. Google is more powerful two years later and the left has increasingly become radical in what its willing to do to regame political power. What could google be doing this election cycle to support its candidates . What can they do in 2020 . A question almost nobody with a seems interested in even asking. They ought to be interested. Mark steyn is an author and columnist, he joins us of the outlines are clear, google is the most powerful company in the world, they have a choke hold on human information, they can clearly guide the outcome of the election if they chose to do so. They tried to influence the last election. Why shouldnt we be deeply concerned about this . We should be deeply concerned. As you said, russia, everyone goes bananas about they bought 100 grand worth of facebook ads. Google is already more powerful in terms of its control over peoples lives than almost every government on the planet. I would say arguably, it has more control over american lives than, say, the government of russia does as a practical matter. People are very naive about google searchs, they think it doesnt whether youre in a hotel in des moines or whether youre hanging upside down in your bondage dunn jan . Poughkeepsie, when you enter the search results everything is the same. As this lady mario has explained, theyre capable of targeting election content, specifically to certain voting groups. So this isnt like, you know, rock the vote or public attempts to get out the vote. This is where the worlds most powerful company is using data mining to channel election, be partisan election information to key voting dem graph yibs. Demographics. They would steal the election and youd never know it. Tucker well, what is interesting to me is the left has been very agitated for the past six or seven years about Citizens United and the influence of money on politics. I dont think all of their concerns are stupid by the way. But this is the example, the most powerful influenceer of elections potentially the world has ever known. I dont think ive heard a single liberal say anything about googles effect on elections, subverting our democracy, why is that . I think for the obvious reason that theyre doing it for, as mario would say, for our side, for our team, for the lefts team, for liberalisms team. And thats very different n a sense theres something quaintly Old Fashioned about the citizens. Jeb bush blew 100 million to get to 2. 4 in iowa, the oldfashioned way, sticking up billboards, making robo calls. What if you had a monopoly on peoples access to information, and without them even knowing about it, just when they happen to open up their phone or their laptop in the morning, you were able to direct them to your candidate without anybody knowing it. That is far more important, thats far more scary. The implications are absolutely terrible. And this memo is absolutely terrible in what it reveals about google. The silent low donation bit is very interesting. As you said, has legal implications. Whatever legal implications they are, theyre a lot more solid than whether some guy paid off some porn star just to take a random example. Tucker i hope our elected officials Pay Attention to this. Mark, well see you later in the show, thank you very much. Thank, tucker. Tucker google of course is one of several big tech monopolies, not the only one worth worrying about. Amazon if you can believe it, even Larger Company than google, despite being worth a trillion dollars many of the half a million employees live in poverty. Shannon allen is one of them, amazon employee who says shes been living out of her car. She joins us tonight. Thanks for coming on. How can you work for the richest man in the world and live out of your car . It doesnt make sense. Thank you for having me. What happened was, when they first when i first got injured, i went on medical leave, three weeks after my injury. And the checks were delayed coming in. And then after the checks started coming in, they hurried up through my process of me being injured, and sent me back to work early. So then that took some time to work and get hours in, to where i got a paycheck from amazon again. And when i was reinjured, i went back out on medical leave in january. Tucker to be clear, you were injured on the job, you say, and then you wound up living in your car. Yes. I started living in my car several months ago because of nonpayment from the workers comp and from amazon. Tucker so we spoke to amazon and we should say in the interest of fairness, that they say they offered you a lump sum cash payment. Is that true . They did. They did offer me 3,500, after of the first year you are offered 2,000 to quit and then they offered me an extra 1,500 in cobra payments for my medical injury that i still have. And i declined that offer, because you have to sign a nondisclosure agreement which also means that you cant talk about the inside workings of amazon, you cant talk about how much money you received, or you cant sue them, you cant collect unemployment and you cant use your First Amendment right to speak out about any type of experience you had at amazon. And my First Amendment right is worth more than 3,500. Tucker were glad youre here telling us about it. So, again, just for the viewers tuning in, you are an employee of amazon, one of the Biggest Companies in the world, trillion dollar market cap, living in your car. Your story cant be the average story. Do you know other amazon employees who are in effect in poverty . I actually do. I had a guy from madrid, spain contact me on twitter and sent me a video telling me that he is in the exact same position, that he was injured at amazon and then terminated from his job and he is now homeless also. Theres also other employees, right in texas at the same facility that i work at, that are also having a hard time making ends meet. When workers comp wants to pay 7 or amazon wants to pay you 7 a week, we cant make it on 7 a week. Tucker hmm. And i want the workers to come forward. If they have any questions or comments or want to contact me, i want them to come forward and contact me. Tucker were interested in hearing from them as well. It seems odd one of the Richest Companies in the world run by one of the richest owners in the world, would have employees living in their cars. Shannon, thank you. Thank you. Tucker good to talk to you. Democrats have finally discovered a message going to the 2018 mid terms, vote for us or you will die. Not too far off, actually. Well speak to one democratic consultant about whether that will work. When you retire will you or will you just be you, without the constraints of a full time job . You can grow your Retirement Savings with pacific life and create the future thats most meaningful to you. Which means you can retire, without retiring from life. Having the flexibility to retire on your terms. Thats the power of pacific. Ask your financial professional about pacific life today. If youre waiting patiently for a liver transplant, it could cost you your life. Its time to get out of line with upmc. At upmc, livingdonor transplants put you first. So you dont die waiting. Upmc does more livingdonor liver transplants than any other center in the nation. Find out more and get out of line today. Ito take care of anyct messy situations. And put irritation in its place. And if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected. You can get comfortable doing the same with yours. Preparation h. Get comfortable with it. Tucker its taken time and probably focus groups but democrats are coalescing around a message for the 2018 mid terms. Vote for us or else. The summer congresswoman Maxine Watters urged her supporters to harass tremp officials in public. Anybody from that cabinet, if you see them in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station you get out and you draw a crowd, and you tell them theyre not welcome. Tucker but that was too moderate. This weekend watters doubled down, saying she threatens Trump Supporters all the time. Of course the lying president said that i had threatened all of his con stit wenlts. I did not threaten his constituents, his supporters. I do that you will the time but i didnt do it that time. [laughing] tucker i do it all the time. She gets points for directness. Not all democrats say that outloud. Some are taking an expansive view. Vote for us or the world will end. Frankly our democracy is on the ballot. This is not simply an election about right versus left. This is an election of right versus wrong. This is a enquinn constitutional crisis. Im here to deliver a simple message, and that is what you need to vote because our democracy depends on it. Tucker some sad media figures like Karl Bernstein cheer on apocalyptic messages. Its time for the republicans to say the Trump Presidency is a national emergency. And it is up to us, both parties, to treat the Trump Presidency as a national emergency. Tucker all buffoons on parade. We have the former press secretary for the democratic policy committee. Thanks for coming on, appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Tucker i kind of, you know, some one whos interested in words and ideas and messages, ive been waiting with bated breath to find out what theyre going to run on, what is the idea. And its the kind of mafia stand by, vote for us or else. Is that going to work . You have senior officials writing op eds in the New York Times saying theyre trying to protect our democracy. This notion that youre hearing from kerry or obama that our democracy is on the ballot, its not rooted in fear, its rooted in fact. Tucker so, do you find it, i mean just since im connoisseur of irony, im going to ask you if you perceive this, too, the people who say theyre concerned about our, quote, democracy are the ones saying that trump should be removed from Office Without an election. Do you see any kind of contradiction there . Well, heres the thing. The mainstream democrats arent really toting this impeachment message. You hear Maxine Watters tucker not the impeachment, 295th amendment, the idea impeachment is a process, theres a trial, the senate can convict. Which i think, you know, is constitutional, its legitimate. But the cabinet can come together and say you cant be president. Is that, is that a democratic impulse calling for Something Like that . Clearly its not a democratic impulse when you have senior white house officials under republican president being the ones that are talking about the 25th amendment. I dont think thats it. But lets talk about fearmongering for a second. Tucker hold on, let me just say its not partisan, tons of republicans in washington who dislike democracy as much as the democrats do. Im certainly not blaming the democrats. A lot of i dont think they dislike democracy. Tucker what do you think of the idea that the cabinet, a group of unelected people can say i dont think he should be president and depose the president. Are you comfortable with that . Its in the constitution, we cant change the constitution, its in our constitution. Tucker okay, sure it is. I guess, sort of, not exactly clear. But it is. Tucker its not, its never been tried. Its not clear what the criteria for removal is. Let me get to the deeper point, do you think thats a democratic thing to want, a bunch of unelected people can decide that some one is no longer president. Thats not democracy, constitutional or not. If you have senior white house officials, i dont necessarily agree with whats being done, i think this person is not a hero that wrote this op ed, i think if they want to come forward they need to do that instead of hiding behind the cape and mask of the New York Times. They need to come forward. But there is a process to use when it comes to the 25th amendment. And impeachment. Tucker do you think that if Karl Bernstein doesnt like you, that you should be allowed to be president . It comes down to that. If American People vote, then whoever wins the presidency, that is the person that is going to be president. Tucker oh, there you go, were back to democracy, im for that. Right, most of us are. But when you talk tucker i thought that. When youre talking about fearmongeri fearmongering, i was listening to the tape, the sound you had, people were saying apocalyptic. It is President Trump that said that there is going to be violence in the streets of america if the republicans do not win the mid terms. The stock market is going to crash. Everyone is going to be poor. So if were really talking about fearmongering, the biggest fear mongerer is donald trump. Tucker well, i think, wasnt he predicting i dont think any president should predict the stock mast, i agree with you on that. But i dont think the president was saying republicans were going to hurt anybody. Its pretty much democrats that create violence. I noticed donald trump tucker hition people in the face with bike locks. Do i remember seeing people being punched in the face at trump rallies. I remember him saying he was going to pay their legal fees. That i do remember. Tucker huh, all right, michelle great to see you, thanks for coming on. Thank you forking me. For having me. Tucker President Trump could be on the brink of declassifying documents, documents that the rest of us might want to see b
