00:00 Hey, it's Tucker Carlson.

00:02 You often hear people say the news is full of lies.

00:05 But most of the time, that's not exactly right.

00:07 Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is in fact true in

00:12 the literal sense.

00:13 You could pass one of the media's own fact checks.

00:16 Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it.

00:17 In fact, they may have.

00:19 But that doesn't make it true.

00:20 It's not true.

00:22 At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most

00:27 insidious kind.

00:29 The facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective.

00:33 You are being manipulated.

00:34 How does that work?

00:36 Let's see.

00:37 If I tell you that a man has been unjustly arrested for armed robbery, that is not, strictly

00:41 speaking, a lie.

00:43 He may have been framed.

00:44 At this point, there's been no trial, so no one can really say.

00:47 But if I don't mention the fact that the same man has been arrested for the same crime

00:52 six times before, am I really informing you?

00:55 No, I'm not.

00:56 I'm misleading you.

00:58 And that's what the news media are doing in every story that matters, every day of

01:02 the week, every week of the year.

01:05 What's it like to work in a system like that?

01:08 After more than 30 years in the middle of it, we could tell you stories.

01:11 The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest

01:15 truth that you can.

01:17 But there are always limits.

01:19 And you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for

01:24 it.

01:25 That's not a guess.

01:26 It's guaranteed.

01:27 Every person who works in English-language media understands that.

01:32 The rule of what you can't say defines everything.

01:35 It's filthy, really, and it's utterly corrupting.

01:39 You can't have a free society if people aren't allowed to say what they think is true.

01:44 Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy.

01:47 That's why it's enshrined in the first of our constitutional amendments.

01:51 Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren't many platforms left that allow free speech.

01:56 The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.

02:03 Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops.

02:08 Twitter is not a partisan site.

02:10 Everybody's allowed here, and we think that's a good thing.

02:14 And yet for the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations

02:18 that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets.

02:22 You see it on cable news.

02:24 You talk about it on Twitter.

02:26 The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge.

02:31 We think that's a bad system.

02:33 We know exactly how it works, and we're sick of it.

02:37 Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last

02:40 six and a half years to Twitter.

02:43 We'll be bringing some other things too, which we'll tell you about.

02:45 But for now, we're just grateful to be here.

02:48 Free speech is the main right that you have.

02:51 Without it, you have no others.

02:53 See you soon.
