Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight theres an awful lot of noise in the news right now, as you would expect there is an election c coming three weeks away. Everyone wants to get a blow in before its too late, but not everything you hear is untrue and not every story is complex. At the heart of the growing Biden, Ukraine scandal is a very straightforward question. Did Joe Biden subvert foreign policy in order to enrich his own family? Wes Mackey was the sitting president of the United States, including in his portfolio Ukraine. At that moment, vice president, vice President Joe Biden had more influence over the ingredient government and the ukrainian economy than any other person on the globe outside of Eastern Europe. His son Hunter knew that he hoped to get rich from his fathers influence. We know from the New York Post. It tells
some of that story. Tonight. We would like to bring you some more detail. We have another batch of emails, some exclusive to this show we believe they also came from Hunter Bidens laptop. We cant prove that they did. We H have a exam at that computer, but every detail that we could check, including a hunter Bidens personal email address at the time, suggests they are authentic. As we told you last night, if these emails are fake, this is the most complex and sophisticated hoax in history. It almost seems beyond human capacity. The Biden campaign believes these emails are real, they havent said otherwise we sent to the body of them to Hunter Bidens attorney and havent heard back with that in mind, heres what we learned on November second, two thousand and fifteen, a Burisma executive called Vadym Pozharskyi, emailed Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer. The purpose of this email was to be on the same page about the final goals, including, but not
limited, to a concrete course of action. What did Burisma want exactly good p dot r? For starters, the executives wanted high ranking, U Dot S officials to express their positive opinion of Burisma, and then he wanted the administration to act on burismas behalf. The scope of work should also include a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and former? U DOT s policymakers to Ukraine in November the goal the executive explained was to close down any cases and pursuit against the head of Burisma in Ukraine that couldnt be clearer what they wanted to Burisma wanted Hunter Bidens Father to get their company out of legal trouble with the ukrainian government and thats exactly what happened one month later to the day. On December. Second, two thousand and fifteen Hunter Biden received a notice from a
Washington, P, dot r firm, called Blue star strategies. They had apparently been hired to lobby the administration on it. Ukraine, at this show has obtained that email hello. All this morning, the White House hosted a conference call regarding the vice presidents. Upcoming trip to Ukraine attached is a memo from the Blue STAR strategies team, with the minutes of the call which outlined the trips agenda and addressed several questions regarding: U Dot S policy towards Ukraine. Here you have a p dot r firm involved in official weight house foreign policy call. How could that happen? Good question, but it worked days later Joe Biden flew to Ukraine and did exactly what his son wanted. The vice president gave a speech slamming the very ukrainian law enforcement official, who was Tormentingg Burisma, the exact guy. If the ukrainian government doesnt fire its top prosecutor, a man called Viktor Shokin, the administration will withhold a
billion dollars in american aid. Ukraine is a poor country. They had no choice but to obey. Bidens bullying worked he bragged about it later. I had gotten a commitment that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didnt. So walking of the press conference I said, were not going to give you the billion dollars. They said you have no authority youre, not the president. The president said, I said, call him im telling you youre not getting the billion dollars im going to be leaving here, and I think it was six hours I said im leaving at six hours. If the prosecutor isnt fired youre, not getting the money well son of a bitch that she got fired. He gave that speech before the Council of Foreign relations. We pretend this is normal and officially authorized. This is how things are done. Thats not true at all. If this is bizarre- and the
amazing thing about the video you just saw- is that no one in that audience of Harvard graduates ask the glaringly obvious question: why was the vice president of the United States and threatening a tiny country like Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor? That doesnt seem like a vice presidents role now we know why Viktor Shokin has signed an affidavit, affirming that he was in fact investigating burisma. At the moment Joe Biden had him removed. He said before he was fired. Administration officials pressured him into dropping the case against Burisma. He would not do that. So Joe Biden canned him thats how things really work in Washington. Your son has a lucrative consulting deal with a ukrainian energy company. You tailor american foreign policy to help, make him rich our foreign policy, even at the State Department, possibly the most cynical agency in government. This seemed brazen during the impeachment
proceedings, a state department, official called a George Kent said it was widely known in Washington that the bidens were up to something sleazy in Ukraine. I was on the call, and I raised my concern- that Hunter Biden was on the Board of Burisma. This could create a perception of a conflict of interest. How did the vice presidents often respond to this concern? According to George, Kent was the message I recall hearing back was his son was dying of cancer and theres no further bandwidth to deal with family related issues at the time this was Americas foreign policy being tailored to Joe Bidens son. Five years later, he still has not been forced to explain why he fired at Ukraines top prosecutor. At precisely the moment, his son was being paid to get him to fire Ukraines top prosecutor. Nor has Joe Biden addressed whether or not he personally benefited from the
Burisma contract. There are hints last night, former mayor, Rudy Giuliani, published what he said is another email from Hunter Bidens laptop its a note to one of his children, its sad and fraught and personal, and we arent going to quote it at length, but at the end there is this dont worry, unlike your grandfather, I wont make you give me half your salary. What does that mean exactly we dont know there may be more detail, but we dont have access to that. The question remains: how has Joe Biden lived in extravagance all these years on a government salary? No one has ever answered that question and the tech monopolies are working hard to make certain no one ever does this morning the New York Post published another story. This one describes a business venture Hunter Biden was working on in China. The email reads this way. At the moment there is a provisional agreement. The equity will be distributed as follows.
Ten held by Hunter for the big guy is the big guy, Joe Biden. If so, how much did Joe Biden get and how much of that came from the communist chinese government? Those are real questions. This man could be elected president in three weeks, but twitter doesnt want you to wonder. It wont. Allow you to ask those questions: Twitter, restricted the New York Post story as unsafe, as though it was a lawn dart or a defective circular saw it was enough for the Biden campaign. It was enormously useful all day they deflected questions about Joe Bidens subversion of our countrys foreign policy. By invoking twitters ban on the New York Post story, the tech monopolies censored information to help their candidate and the candidate uses that censorship to dismiss the story. One hand washes the other. I think twitters response to the actual article itself makes it clear these reported
allegations are false and they are not true. We are glad to see social media companies like Twitter, taking responsibilities to limit misinformation. You want to know what corruption looks like you just saw what corruption looks like my campaign: donors control the media. They are shutting down the publics, access to information that criticizes me. The fact they are doing that gives me justification not to address your question about that information. Thats. What corruption looks like when billionaires, shut down legitimate questions about a candidate three weeks before election day, thats corruption, its also almost perfectly circular reasoning, and to illustrate that twitter and Facebook censored the New York Post story before they had any reason to suspect it wasnt true. Even now, they arent claiming its a hoax because its not a hoax in minutes state shut down this countrys centuries long tradition of a free press, and they did it for partisan reasons. They didnt pretend. Otherwise,
it doesnt matter who you plan to vote for the first Tuesday in November. You should be terrified. Democracies cannot exist and never will be able to exist without the free flow of an information thats a prerequisite and without it we are done. But companies like Facebook, Google and twitter do not care because they do not believe in democracy. They worship, power, Melania, trumps, private phone conversations, the presidents tax returns. They were happy to publish all of that. They didnt have a problem with hacking. But if you criticize the democratic candidate their candidate, you are banned, thats the standard they have set. How do we come back from that today? You have elected Democrats, members of the party who, just in the recent past claimant, to revere free speech. Cheering on censorship. Here is the moderate Senator Chris Coons of Delaware. Doing just that. Facebook and twitter have policies not to spread things that are utterly unreliable,
that have been debunked and where their origin is untrustworthy, they are practicing their own internal controls, as I wish they had over the past four years if they had been more selective about what they posted in two thousand and sixteen dont take my word for it. Listen to the head of the FBI, an active russian disinformation campaign in twenty. Sixteen had an influence on that election. They are trying even harder in this election im glad they are managing the content on their own website. That man is a liar. Not one word of this story has been debunked, not one word in those emails has been debunked and if it is debunked, we will be the first to report its because we are not liars, but did you catch the phrase? He wanted you to hear russian disinformation thats what they are claiming these emails are and its all over the internet, conspiracy laden conjecture crazier than
anything the Q people thought of but lunatic lies about. Russia is ever censored by the tech monopolies. It helps Joe Biden. Therefore, you can read it: we are the real journalist. Now we need them more than ever. If theyre gone cowering, afraid they dont want to upset power, Jake Sherman of Politico, who claims to be a news reporter actually apologized on Twitter, for asking the Biden campaign about Hunter Bidens emails. These people are craven, they have no standards or self respect it like their masters in Silicon Valley, they worship, power alone, Adam Schiff of California, knows that feeling well when he sees censorship, it excites him and he calls for more the online ecosystem and unwitting audiences that the Kremlin so ably exploited remain vulnerable to unscrupulous homegrown actors, who conceive and spread falsehoods of their own. If left unchecked, there could
be irreversible damage not only to our nations discourse but the how we, as as a society, sort fact from fiction theyve, not change the foundational features of their platforms that expose users and recommend to them often extreme sensational or emotionally, charged content. That guy is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and there he is affirming the censorship of his own campaign donors in Silicon Valley, the most powerful people in the world. If this doesnt rattle your cage, then nothing will. Ten years ago no member of Congress wouldve said what Adam Schiff just said in public, it wouldve been considered an obvious threat to the constitution. To the first amendment, bill of rights, the ACLU wouldve screamed professional journalist associations would have joined them, but today they
are all silent. Some are applauding and some are accelerating watch this member of Congress suggest the government ought to decide what news organizations are allowed to publish just like they do in China. Do we need a new agency that essentially would be, on behalf of the public, making the rules subject to legislative authority, as opposed to having that delegated to the tech giants, a new agency with legislative authority to decide what you are allowed to read sound familiar.
