Congress is about to get involved in changing this and democrats control the entire legislative branch of government. Their priority is House Resolution number one. Its called that because it is the first bill in the legislative pipeline. So what exactly is in that bill . Is possible that cnn hasnt brought you all the details yet, they are too busy trying to save the country from forbidden ideas on internet chat rooms. Heres what nancy pelosi said about hr one back in october. We had plenty of work to do in the joe biden administration, will build infrastructure of america in a greenway and make sure health care is available to all americans. Lower the cost of prescription drugs, we will learn to have hr one right off the bat, be about cleaner government so we can reduce the role of big, dark, special interest money. Tucker hr one is all about that big dark special interest money. But you have to wonder why nancy pelosi is still using that term dark as a euphemism for bad. But whatever, its nancy pelosi so we can be sure its not racist. The real question is how the party of ruthless monopoly gets away with fake talking points like that. The answer of course is to get away with it because no one stops them. This is the for the people act here. As for the people, so shut up. What exactly does the Democratic Party plan to do for the people . If you guessed enshrined forever then you win the daily double. The for the people act as a foundation of the Democratic Party strategy to control the federal government well into your grandchildrens middle age. Take a look at it. Like most revolutionary documents, its not a very exciting read nothing sounds especially radical at first. The bill begins by declaring that contrary to article one of the United States cant constitution, congress has an ultimate supervisory power over federal elections. Under our current loss, states get to decide how much they get to tolerate. California just wants you to vote democrat. If hr one passes all 50 states will be california and the entire country will have valid harvesting and mailin voting. Think about that. On january 6th, we had a riot at the u. S. Capitol. It happened because millions were convinced the last election was not fair. Where did they get the idea . It wasnt because the last president told him so. You are hearing that now as if they are animals, but they saw the radical increase in mailin voting. Millions dead. And it corroded their faith in the publics faith in our of elections. They were enraged by that and some of them exploded. According to the democrats the lesson of that terrible day was that we needed more of the corrupt policies that caused it in the first place. We needed more corruption, and that will unite the country. Hr one would literally enshrined fraud. Here was a direct quote from that legislation. A state may not require an individual to provide any form of identification as a condition of obtaining an absentee ballot. Any form of identification. Nor can signatures be validated. Heres another direct quote from hr one. A state may not require notarization or witness signature or other formal authentication as a division of obtaining casting an absentee ballot. Under hr one, they could freely go house to house and apartment to apartment collecting unknown thousands of ballots and then dump them all out of ballot drop box. No one would have any idea if those ballots had been tampered with at any point along the way or would there be any way to prove it if they had been tampered with. Hr one also makes it harder for election observers to file complaints about any of this because complaining is racist. A system like that is suicidal for democracy and no other free country would tolerate it. France and canada wont tolerate it, they banned mailin ballots. They dont want fraud. By the way, neither is amazon. Com. Mailin voting allows his parties to take control of everything and you are a bigot if you oppose that. But when it comes to Union Elections in his own company, elections that might allow jeff bezos to pay his and they wouldnt be under quoting valid valid and fair. When its their power at stake democrats have a totally different position and thats true in california. You may have heard there was a recall effort underway in that and they were trying to boost their comically dependent governors son. Its not so easy to get it done because democrats are requiring in person signatures petitions. Suddenly they are very worried about voter fraud. You should know this is not considered hypocrisy. They dont mind if they are caught breaking their own rules, they are not offended by double standards. They want power, this is a power grab and thats all it is. Youre complaining about it Means Nothing to them. If you needed more evidence of that, as if you needed more evidence, considering his legislation by Stephanie Murphy, a democrat from orlando. Murphy has proposed a bill that would ban anyone with the wrong opinions from having a significant job in the federal government. Believe forbidden things and you dont get a security clients. You cant work here. Murphys bill would require federal investigators to ask all applicants whether they had associated with or knowingly engaged in activities conducted by an organization or movement that spreads conspiracy theories and false information about the United States government. Wait a second. Conspiracy theories and false information about the United States government . It sounds like these people could be in trouble. You can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion. I saw this clear evidence on the issue of collusion and this adds to the body of evidence. There is significant evidence of collusion, ample evidence and indeed there is. I think theres plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy. All of this is evidence of collusion. There is significant evidence, much of it in the Public Domain on the issue of collusion. Just kidding. People who spent years peddling ludicrous conspiracy theories this proved factually, these people will be fine. At this point it would include everyone pretty much currently in power. That hurt our country, but this is designed to protect them from criticism. Under Stephanie Murphys bill anyone who criticizes Stephanie Murphy could be punished. Accents now . Now you think all of this might raise some eyebrows among traditional Civil Liberties people or Civil Liberties folks as they call them. But its 2021. Laws like this are directly at the media sworn archenemies, people who went to state schools and other undesirables. Listen to the gene comic geniuses explain. This is pretty much a certainty now which was 100 caused by elite mismanagement of our economy. But lets not talk about that. The real threat is a forbidden idea. Next, what to do about qanon and its troves of lower, loyal followers. Is it too late to bring our loved ones back to reality . Many who believe the unfounded conspiracies and prophecies expected january 20th to be judgment day. Is far right figures are joined by others. How many people in the country have been marinated in these conspiracy theories, and it is frightening. Tucker mr. Tom friedman thinks this is pretty frightening and hes right. But watching a profound change taking place in american society, and its happening fast. The stakes could not be higher. Theres a clear line between democracy and tyranny, between selfgovernment and dictatorship and heres what that line is. That line is your conscience. They cannot cross that. Government has every right to tell you what to do, and controlling the behavior of citizens is one of the basic prerogatives of any organized society. They can prevent you from committing murder or rate or speed walking or jaywalking, thats all allowed. But no democratic government can ever tell you what to think. Your mind belongs to you, its yours and yours alone. Once politicians attempt to control what you believe they are no longer politicians. They are by definition dictators. If they succeed and controlling what you believe then you are no longer a citizen. You are not a free man, you are a. So yes tom friedman, its frightening. Its everywhere all of a sudden and no one is pushing back. So join the mob of the sensor is in hysterics and destroyers are working on behalf of entrenched power to take total control of everything. Overstatement . No its not. The new idea is this channel should not be allowed. They are not arguing that fox news is inaccurate and dishonest and you shouldnt watch it, they are arguing that you shouldnt be able to watch fox news because fox should be eliminated by force. A few days ago a columnist posted this question on twitter. Should fox news be allowed to exist . No, he quickly concluded. Fox news shouldnt be legal. One seemed to be surprised by this. Cnn certainly agrees with that and cnn as of our direct competitor of course so you might imagine he would recuse themselves from this conversation. But just the opposite, cnn is staring down some pretty lean ratings and they would love one less on the dial. They turn them loose to explain that actually allowing people to watch what they want to watch on tv is a method threat to democracy. President biden seems to understand, and all of these and all that has caused the separate realities in United States. It remains a threat to our democracy and its the reason why there are hundreds of Trump Supporters storm in the capital. And i do think that these forces represent an existential threat to this country. No one has ever been asked to use spell the word existential. He has expressed and that is thats too much choice, thats not democratic. Corporations that advertise on fox news should walk away. And citizens who care about the trip should demand that they do so. Again, Margaret Sullivan didnt ask people to stop watching fox news, she asked for us to be unemployed. Her colleague agreed with that. Max boot also labors for jeff bezos up the washington post. When you work for the worlds richest man, people tend to listen to you. When you call for government officials to crush dissent, thats not a a small thing. I think theres also the possibility of reviving the fairness doctrine in which mandated some minimal standards of for actuality and balance on the part of tv stations and since that disappeared it, its a complete freeforall with all sorts of lunacy being fit directly into the right wing echo system. The fairness doctrine does not only apply to cable news since the u. S. Government doesnt own the cable lines but what you should consider is the idea that max boot just explained that it is unfair for one news outlet for every other news outlet. Saying its unfair should be mandatory, and thats why its inclusive. In addition to everything else, these people are stupid. Thats why our country is in trouble because the people who run the country cant find things with both hands. No selfrespecting Landscape Company would have max boot. But that doesnt mean he wont win. Its a mistake to imagine that simply because an idea is wrong or stupid or immoral that it cannot prevail, at least for a while. Of course it can prevail. History is filled with examples of this. New coke was a real beverage. We should be worried and they definitely are saying them. Joe scarborough has a morning show on msnbc and Joe Scarborough isnt stupid hardly. Look up animal cunning dictionary and you will find his picture. What Joe Scarborough is, is a herd animal. Flexible. If all the kids are doing it, he wants a seat on the bus. When people appear on fox news they need to be forced to shut up immediately. Fox news had someone i know, a former leader of the Republican Party saying that democrats wanted, and im using his words here, democrats wanted to exterminate. Exterminate all republicans. Let me say that again for fox news sponsors so that you know, for fox news sponsors, to let you know whats happening now on fox news. They are getting people who are fox news contributors who are saying that democrats, joe biden and democrats want to exterminate all republicans. Tucker im saying this for fox news sponsors. So how honest do you want to be here . The menu just just saw has been accused by the president of the United States of murdering a young woman. We are not taking a position on Joe Scarboroughs guilt or innocence on that case, we are not a Law Enforcement agency and its not our place to do that. But one thing we did not do and would never do is go on tv and demands that because Joe Scarborough was accused of violence by a politician, American Companies should not be allowed to sell their products to his viewers. That never occurred to us, not even for a second. We are not fascist or middleaged performers running away from their own conscious. We are american. We think people we disagree with should still be allowed to talk in public. They have never believed that, they are global conglomerates and they are more powerful than our government. Last week on cnn the former chief Security Officer at facebook how does that title strike you . A man called alex stamos, said this. Its really hard because people are able to seek out information that makes them feel good. People have so much choice now, they can choose whether use sources are and they can choose what influencers they want to follow. There are people on youtube for example that have a larger audience than daytime cnn and they are extremely radical in pushing extremely radical views. Tucker so in the name of democracy which is clearly the term of the moment, in defense of the peoples will must censor people and make certain that individuals cant read and hear what they choose to read and hear. At least they are being honest about it. Information is power and they want the power so therefore they must controlled information, so they are. Thats whats happening. We told you a moment ago that nobody seems to be fighting back against this tide of oppression. Rupert murdoch won an award from the foundation in the u. K. And here is part of what he said when he accepted. For those of us in the media there is a real challenge to confront a wave of censorship that seeks to silence conservation, to ultimately stop individuals and societies from realizing their potential. This rigidly enforced, conformity is a straitjacket on sensibility. Too many people have fought too hard and too many places for freedom of speech to be oppressed by the awful woke orthodoxy. This awful woke orthodoxy. We dont quote our boss often come ever on the show actually, thats exactly right. Thats precisely what this is. Theres nothing worse for the country or for journalism, every publisher of every owner should be saying this in public every single day. No wonder they hate us. Glenn greenwald is a journalist and you can find his work which we hope you support. Now i want to ask you about this bill from Stephanie Murphy which strikes me as particularly ominous in the context of the moment we are in that would ban people who fall within some category that she is defining. Who have certain beliefs effectively from serving in government and should your personal beliefs be a criterion for employment in the federal government . The through line that you talked about is the Democratic Party which now controls the house, the senate and the white house. Generally believes they have the party of science and rationality and the only way to disagree with them is you are either a deranged conspiracy theorist or exhibitionist, someone who is engaged in criminal conduct or terrorism. Therefore they genuinely believe that its not a show or a pretext and they have convinced one another through the echo chamber that theyve created, essentially the entire media accepts the network which is why they want to shut it down, if you disagree with their orthodoxies and their consensus you are a threat and a danger. Its so ironic, they spent four years laming they fight authority to some end of fascism and now they are trying to harden this corporate, and that is a very hallmark, but in reality they embody. Tucker it is in musing, i think its important to stay amused, but they cite russia as the thing we hate the most because they crackdown on press freedoms and thats not a true democracy, as a pretext for imposing censorship on the press in the United States. Is there no selfawareness at all or do they just dont care . Its like they are envious of prudent Companies Manage to consolidate the power that they wished they could wield and are trying to wield it now. Tucker, they genuinely want everyone who disagrees with them, silence. I know it sounds like hyperbole if you dont Pay Attention constantly to the news, and its leaders of the Democratic Party. They will have partners in the liz cheney wing of the Republican Party as well and they want to exploit your power to regulations and corporations of monopolies and they are saying we now control and regulate your industry and we demand that you stop using your Advertising Money for this network that criticizes us, and if that isnt authoritarianism then what is . They want to shut everybody off the internet and they destroyed an entire social media platform, took it off the internet because they constructed Silicon Valley monopolies that it was their obligation to remove it. Its very chilling and you really cant overstate how bloodthirsty they are in the control that they are trying to exert over our discourse. Tucker there are times where i thought, maybe glenn is paranoid, but i dont think so anymore. So the people with the most power in the world arent simply trying to destroy fox news, so they are, we are not making that up. Also they like to unravel the social fabric of the country, things like g
