Tucker Carlson Tonight: Hunter's Laptop & The Media Cover-Up

Tucker Carlson Tonight: Hunter's Laptop & The Media Cover-Up

"Last week, the New York Post published one of the great scoops of the year; the paper's editors got a copy of the hard drive from Hunter Biden's personal laptop. On it were 10s of 1000s of emails, videos, texts, and photographs."

"They showed that Vice President of the United States Joe Biden tailored American foreign policy, our foreign policy, which Joe Biden does not own, in order to help his son's business interests. Biden intervened aggressively in the internal affairs of another sovereign nation, Ukraine, and his son got paid for that."

"But then, very quickly, something bigger than that happened, something far more dangerous to our country than anything. Here's what happened, the most powerful people in the world aligned to censor the news to keep it from the population of the United States."

"Twitter prevented its users from sharing the story. So did Facebook. When Americans searched Google to read the New York Post story, many couldn't find it. So within hours, the promise of a free press that's the basis of American democracy and has been for 250 years just disappeared. One minute, we were America. The next minute, we were China. Horrifying. And perhaps most horrifying of all, our news media applauded it. The self-described Guardians of the First Amendment cheered the destruction of the First Amendment."

"And most ominous of all, the US intelligence community, the secretive federal agencies that have nearly unlimited power, joined in. Those agencies colluded with the news media to hide information from the American public weeks before a presidential election."

"The laptop in question belongs to Hunter Biden, period. It is not a Russian fabrication... No part of the story, no email has been shown to be false."

"What is this? It's happening in concert all at one time. What you're watching is the most powerful people in America aligning as one to hide legitimate information from the public. This is not the way our country used to operate. Are you terrified yet? You should be terrified. Because it worked. That's why they do it because it works."

"That is, state media protecting the powerful. No one thought to ask Biden why if the laptop is a Russian invention, there's a letter from Hunter Biden's lawyer asking for the laptop back. Is he part of the conspiracy too? We don't know. And we're not going to learn because Joe Biden has now gone into hiding until Thursday's debate. And that means the media can continue to collude unimpeded with our spy agencies to lie to you. It's the Russians!"

"What you just saw is the real threat. The most powerful people in our country colluding to dismiss legitimate questions using a fake threat of Russian disinformation. That's scary... False claims of Russian interference in our democracy are now a well-established fact of American political life."

"They are very useful to the people in charge because those fears can be leveraged to strip you instantly of your constitutional rights. And that's exactly what's going on now. And you know why they're doing it for the next two weeks. The point is to defeat Donald Trump, and they may succeed in doing that. But for the rest of us who plan to stay in this country. The real worry is what happens after that."
