This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
We are monitoring that will bring you news as it develops good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. Most of us never imagined it could happen in this country and today did happen. A major american newspaper published a story apparently an entirely accurate story about a presidential candidate, the tech monopolies that control american media feared. The story might hurt that candidate, whom they favor so three weeks before a national election, they shut the whole thing down. They prevented the public from reading the news they didnt apologize for doing this, they didnt bother to make up a reasonable sounding justification for it. They just did it exactly as the chinese government does. These are monopolies, they have all the power you have none, they dont have to care what you think and they dont. This was mass censorship on a scale that America has never experienced in two hundred and forty five years, its a threat to all of us. Democracies only function when theres a freak exchange of
information, free exchange of information. This is a dark moment. We know longer have that near Post published a series of emails that described Hunter Bidens lucrative relationship with a ukrainian energy and he called Teresa and described how his father, the vice president of the United States, intervened to help his son peddle influence weve known the outline of the story for quite some time, but these emails add damning details, details no one appears to dispute. They are real, not even the Joe Biden campaign. You are hearing whispers, its all part of a russian disinformation campaign. If this is a hoax, its the most complex, sophisticated hoax ever perpetrated it doesnt seem possible. There are too many too much detail. Emails came from a laptop, an apple laptop dropped off at her Delaware Computer Repair shop and abandoned there. After a certain number of days, with no payment, the shop owner took legal possession of the laptop he looked inside. There were tens of thousands of
emails, including changes with representatives of foreign companies and foreign governments. The laptop apparently belonged to Hunter Biden. The shop owner was stunned by this by the appearance of corruption, and he was afraid for his family. So late last year he gave the laptop to the FBI kept a copy of the hard drive for himself, but he never heard back from the FBI. By May, he was anxiously made overtures to Senator MIKE Lees Office and at least one conservative nonprofit he emailed their websites, but nobody responded. Finally, the man contacted Rudy Giulianis office. Today story is the result of that the tech monopolies instantly crushed. At the moment it appeared an executive at Facebook called Andy Stone. Former democratic staffer announced his company would censor the New York Post story, as he put it. Facebook would be reducing its distribution on our platform twitter quickly, followed to by locking the New York Posts Entire twitter account. One of the biggest newspapers in the world banned from Twitter Twitter then prevented if users
from sharing the New York Post story, both privately and publicly. Those who try to share and got this message, your tweet couldnt be sent because this link has been identified by twitter or aerie are partners that these potentially harmful in a separate exclamation twitter wrote. We dont permit the use of our services to distribute contact obtained through hacking that contains private information, will put people in physical harm or danger or contains trade secrets. Yes, the same twitter that just promoted a New York Times story about the president. Private tax returns obviously obtained illegally that twitter, who, by the way, was hacked here. No one was hacked twitter, never addressed it. As for quote trade secrets, there were none. We already knew that Hunter Biden was trading on his fathers office to make fifty grand a month from the Ukrainians. In October he admitted it. You didnt have any extensive knowledge about natural gas or Ukraine itself, though no, but I think I had as much
knowledge as anybody else that was on the board in the list that you gave me of the reasons why youre on the board, you did not list the fact that you are the son of the vice president. Of course. What role do you think that played, I think, its impossible for me to be on any of the boards? I just mentioned without saying that I am the son of the vice president of the United States. Oh thanks for acknowledging reality. So we knew the outlines, but we didnt know until today was how brazen this was Hunter Biden didnt simply sell access to his father, the vice president, or take cash to influence american foreign policy, no its weirder than that as he schemed to extract more money from Burisma Hunter Biden. Didnt refer to his father as his father, he revert to the vice president, is my guy Hunter Biden wrote this. The announcement of my guys. Upcoming travel should be characterized as part of our advice and thinking Hunter Biden, added that he needed to be protected
financially and wanted a long term role with Burisma. The contract should begin now, not after the upcoming visit of my guy. That should include a retainer in the range of 25000, its, not clear. If I got that retainer, but we know he did get a high paying job with Burisma, then in May two thousand and fourteen just weeks after Hunter Biden joined the board of that company top executive. Let him know why he was being paid. We urgently need your advice on how you could use her influence to convey a message signal, Et Cetera, to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions. The executive wrote that in an email use your influence to convey a message. What message? What is that mean another email from the same executive obtained by the New York Post dated April, seventeen two thousand and fifteen, explained in very clear terms what it means. Dear hunter. Thank you for inviting me to d dot c and giving an opportunity to meet your father. Im spent some time together
its really an honor and pleasure. Oh thats. What youre not allowed to read! You can see why Facebook and Twitter dont want to allow you to read it. If Joe Biden met with Burisma executives at the request of the sun, but the prophet of his own family, it becomes very clear that Joe Bidens previous denials were lies. Just last year, Joe Biden was telling us he had no idea what his son was doing it personal. You are the vice president running point on Ukraine. The average Joe hears that says that sounds fishy whats your understanding of what your son was doing for an extraordinary amount of money. I dont know what he was doing. I know he was on the board I found out. He was on the board after he was on the board. Was it you had a lot of time? Isnt it something you want to get to the bottom of no, because I trust my son that doesnt pass the smell test when you are vice president isnt there a higher standard, what your family is doing, the
need to put out some guardrails unless there was something something on its face. That was wrong, theres, nothing on its face. That was wrong, nothing on its face. That was wrong. That was before we sell these emails. You remember that back in twenty eighteen, Joe Biden explain T got these top prosecutor in Ukraine fired that prosecutor. Viktor Shokin said he was planning on investigating Burisma when he was stripped of his job Heres. How Joe Biden explained Slash bragged about how he cant Viktor Shokin id gotten? The commitment from portion call that they would take action and they didnt they said, I said, were not going to give you the billion dollars. They said you have no authority, you have no authority. The president said, I said, call him. I said youre not getting a billion dollars im going to be leaving here, im leaving in six hours.
If the prosecutors not fired youre, not getting the money. Well, he got fired. Why is the vice president of the United States, firing prosecutors in Ukraine pause and ask yourself that thats bizarre behavior doesnt help the United States in any way? Why was he doing there? At the time? Bidens handlers deny there was anything wrong. They said that Shokin was corrupt and somehow the world was benefiting from shokin, getting fired, didnt explain but of course, Joe Biden didnt do it first on he didnt know anything about Greece. My he didnt know what Hunter Biden was up to no clue. Then. Last October we showed you a photograph of John Hunter Biden, golfing with a board member of Burisma Hunter Bidens Business Partner Biden campaign never claimed that photograph media never followed up. Instead, now as they are rushing to bury the New York Post story, CNN rushed to Joe Bidens defense. The impeachment inquiry is centered on president trumps. Attempts to get political dirt
from Ukraine on Vice President Biden and his son hunter. Mr vice president, President Trump is falsely, accused your son doing something wrong while serving on the company board in Ukraine. I want to point out. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either one of you. A few months later, we got some sense why Anderson Cooper was so careful in the interview you just saw in December a voter, and I will try to ask Joe Biden about Burisma and his fitness office. Joe Biden lost control, called the man fat and challenged into a push up contest. You are a liar thats, not true. No one has ever said that what do push ups together lets run lets do whatever you want to do. Do you think I set up my son to work in an oil company? Is that what you said? Get your story straight Heres the deal? What is the deal actually thats a question every American?
No matter what your political views has a right to an answer, you might be wondering what Joe Biden thinks on portal youre not entitled to that information either Joe Biden once again called it a day before noon. That meant reporters could mask it with the New York Post story, not that they wanted to wed like to. We are not controlled by Facebook or Google or twitter. We can ask any question. We want and heres the first question did any money from Burisma or any other foreign company or foreign government wind up in Joe Bidens pockets or in the account of any thing he benefits from here. We are not accusing Joe Biden of a crime. We are saying its long been Mistry. How man who took a government salary for almost fifty years has lived like a rich man since the 1970s have you ever seen Joe Bidens houses? Look them up opulent doesnt begin to describe the way he lives. Can you do that? No, you cant. How does Joe Biden do that? No one seems especially interested in finding out, but we are, and we may
there were a lot of emails on the laptop tens of thousands of emails. The New York Post is not the only news organization that has.
