>> martha: thanks to the new leader of saudi arabia, the man who brought you the $450 million da vinci, saudis can all go to the movies for the first time in 35 years. a whole new world there, right? that's the story for tonight, thanks for being with us. we will see you back your tomorrow at six. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." terror has struck at the heart of new york city as it now does with disturbing frequency. and i says-inspired suspect detonated a bomb in a crowded subway passage right in the middle of morning rush hour. the explosion sent commuter swing. thankfully only a few people were hurt. most severely the bomber himself. that man has been identified. he's a 25-year-old bangladeshi immigrant. he came to this country in 2011 through a chain migration visa. rick leventhal joins us with more. >> the investigation aggressively underway. a law enforcement source tells me they don't believe the suspect had any coconspirators. in other words, they believe

that he did in fact act alone. they say that he made the device at work. he told them that he made the device at work. he was employed by an electrical company. and i'm told that he had extensive travel overseas since arriving here in the u.s. in february 2011. 27, lived in brooklyn, but from bangladesh. the department of homeland security confirming that he alive to a writer on an f43 family immigrant visa. he was a lawful permanent resident. as you mentioned, benefiting from the extended family chain migration. there are questions about whether he was inspired by isis. he told investigators apparently that his attack was revenge for u.s. attacks overseas. but if his goal was to inflict damage and death, he failed miserably. authorities saying he had a low-tech pipe bomb strapped to his body with velcro and zip ties and when he detonated in an underground passageway between the port authority and times square, the bomber was the only one seriously injured. lacerations and burns to his hands and abdomen.

three other people were hurt and planing of headaches and ringing ears, but not serious injuries at this point. the port authority police were first on scene to contain the suspect, but there was a massive response by the nypd, mpa, state police and the fbi, now investigating the suspect's home. his family's home, the social media accounts and any devices he might have been connected to our had access to for any clues to his inspiration and possible accomplishments. the city was lucky. more people could have been hurt and clearly new york city remains a top target for terrorists. >> tucker: apparently so. thank you for that, rick leventhal. so what type of bomb was the attacker using, and what could we do to block attacks like this in the future, if anything? those questions for our next tooth guests. if an expert on terror in the middle east that has been for a long time. jones to serve as a bomb disposal expert in the marine corps in both iraq and afghanistan. they both join us tonight.

first to you, the question we always ask, how do we prevent attacks like this in the future? >> i am not concerned about the investigation. they will get a lot of information about him. i am concerned about the fact that we were not able to detect him and therefore vetting him before. it's going to be the vetting system. >> tucker: but with the scale of our immigration in this country, how could you possibly that all of those people? >> you have a problem of immigration that we need to respond to, regardless of terrorism. then you have a problem of terrorism connecting to these loopholes inside that immigration system. we need to be smart, making sure that we have a government ability to detect on the one hand, and disconnects that threat from the windows they are using to get into the space. >> tucker: for his attack seems like it could have been far worse. why wasn't it? >> yes, it absolutely could have been far worse because he made it to that place with a bomb on his body. more than likely there are two

scenarios here on why it didn't work well. either he attempted to make a high explosive like ammonium nitrate or catv or some of the things you've heard of and failed in the chemistry, the actual mixture of the component, in which when he went to detonated, the blasting cap or not but the actual high explosive didn't, or he did what i believed to more common option. he tried to use a lower explosive like black powder, almost like gunpowder, and when you do that the container you put it in has to stay contained. that's why they use pressure cookers and threaded pipe. it has to stay contained and allow for enough time for that lower explosive to actually turn into an explosive, or to actually explode. when that happens, if you don't do it right, then that container has any weak spots, they will do what is called venting where it actually just sucks and oxygen and starts to burn instead of explode. i think more than likely with a very little information, the video, the picture and what we hear, more than likely it probably was a low explosive powder.

a lot easier, you can bind up the shelf. there's no chemistry involved. >> tucker: he apparently told investigators from his hospital bed this afternoon but he got the instructions for this bomb and the internet. is that possible? >> absolutely. if you think of two things when it comes to making a bomb. the thing that goes boom is your main charge. that's a chemical that you have to make or acquire. and then the apparatus, the whatever it is. anything in walmart that turns a light bulb on or makes a noise can be used to trigger a bomb. any battery can be used to set it off. there are two things you may care. what is the electronic circuit that sets it off, the other is the actual explosion that explodes. usually both are homemade in afghanistan or iraq and usually both have opportunities to go wrong. i can tell you i'm sitting here at today alive because dozens of them just weren't made right. >> tucker: good news for you, and for commuters this morning. the thing that may be most troublesome about this is that this guy was basically succeeding in the united states. he came over, he had a license

to drive professionally in new york city, working for an electrical contractor apparently. and here for a while, and yet he tried to detonate a suicide bomb this morning. how do you get from one to the other? >> it's a great point, tucker. what has happened now and what will be happening is led an unsuccessful operation will do what? it will teach the next wave of. what we discuss right now, where telling the other side that you have the successful bomb will need to do it in another way. why he actually came here basically -- what we don't know was he an already indoctrinated overseas? where did it happen? that's my concern. >> tucker: was terrifying as he wasn't an outcast. he was doing what immigrants are supposed to do. he had a house, here living with his family. a series of jobs. >> our response to the previous eight years, the obama administration where we are told they don't have a job, they are frustrated. that's a successful guy. that's exactly the point you're

making right now. >> tucker: which is terrifying. >> which is terrifying because they can use success if they are indoctrinated. >> tucker: 's gary, you both very much. >> thank you. >> tucker: the tear isn't just menacing new york city of course, a greater problem in europe or decades of slow immigration have accelerated to become a wave of migrants that has completely changed the demographic mix of that continent, not to mention the daily lives of the people live there. the mental image of sweden, pacifism, socialism, blond people, mandatory politeness. wilting accents, saunas, you know the cliche. if that's what you are picturing, you haven't been there recently. here's the scene in malmo just the other day. [chanting] >> tucker: it may look like

karachi or cairo, but again that is sweeping. it has changed quite a bit. a generation ago you would've been hard pressed to suites marching in support of religiously motivated mass murder. now it's all but normal thanks to mass immigration that has brought tens of thousands of immigrants into the country from north africa and the middle east. malmo has been called europe's most anti-semitic city with dozens of verbal and physical attacks. just 75 years ago sweden was a haven for those fleeing the holocaust. today those same people fear their own neighbors. thanks to the swedish government's decision to bring in a population that hates them. just two days ago a synagogue in sweden was firebombed. it wasn't the first such attack and unfortunately likely will not be the last. meanwhile, in paris most immigrants have taken over the city streets on some part of the capital. residents of one neighborhood are threatening a hunger strike if camping migrants aren't moved by the end of the year. they say trash is everywhere and worse, women are being harassed

regularly on the street. mark steyn is an author and columnist who has followed what's happening in europe for some time, and he joins us tonight. you see videos like that from sweden and you realize that this is not the continent that you pictured, that it really is completely different because of immigration trends. are the authorities in europe -- i know you spent a lot of time over there -- aware of this? to the care? is there a public conversation about this? >> tony blair was asked by the late christopher hitchens about my book and whether the demographic trends in europe were part of what he called the public conversation, the european conversation with his fellow prime minister's. tony blair gave a very revealing answer. he said it's part of the subterranean conversation. in other words, europe's leaders haven't figured out a way to talk about this in public. i know malmo very well. i've been there once or twice a year for the last 15 years. the reason i go to malmo is

because it was the first christian city in what was then denmark, and it's now going to be the first muslim city in sweden. i do something that i first did at the suggestion of a couple of those swedish blondes you were mentioning, at the apical's, brett eklund, those kinds of girls who were talking about earlier. one evening -- at twilight i walked from downtown malmo to rosen guard, big muslim sobered in the swedish blondes fan out and the covered women and the bearded men come towards you until eventually you are in a part of sweden in which there are no uncovered women, and in which muslim women who come from muslim countries where they didn't have to come domenico covered, such as bosnia, suddenly find they have to go cn they immigrate to sweden. that walk as the blondes been

out in the big bearded men come towards you. that is europe's future walking towards you. it's the biggest story of our time. christendom is being transformed at an extraordinary level to the point where suites will be an ethnic minority in their own country by mid century. >> tucker: what i don't understand, why is no one allowed to talk about it? if swedes or danes or fans were flooding into georgia and displacing the native population and forcing them to follow their christian practices and obey their cultural imperatives and mores, i think liberals here would say you can't do that, it's their country. why is it different when it happens in europe or the united states? >> you actually see it in the united states when they talk about new orleans no longer being a chocolate city because too many white people have moved in. that was one of the headlines a

few years ago. >> tucker: i do remember. >> and i think the problem of course is the minute you raise it you get accused of being racist. the minute you talk about it with any degree of honesty, that deputy leader of britain first that you mentioned a couple of days ago, the police in belfast flew all the way to london to arrest her, put her on a plane, take her back to belfast for something she said in a speech at belfast city hall. swedes are particularly dishonest about it. the wealthy swedes, the minute their area gets like those scenes you were showing in paris where there's too many migrants in the neighborhood starts to change, they move out to all-white suburbs and all-white villages, and the moment they are there they vote evermore enthusiastically in polls about how wonderful multiculturalism is. the more they move away from it, the more they are in favor of it. >> tucker: of course, because it doesn't affect them.

if you intentionally set out to create an environment in which violent nationalism would flower, wouldn't this be it? >> absolutely. the first duty of the political class is prudence, and you don't extinguish prudence for utopian delusions. the reality is that as people know in all most any part of the world the minute you have islam as 15-20% of your population, the mediation of relations between islam and the rest of society becomes your principal domestic consideration, as is happening in front of our eyes in sweden, in the netherlands, in france, and germany, and the united kingdom. >> tucker: and it will happen here. the food's duty of the political class is prudence. i'm getting that tattooed and i'm giving you credit when i get it. mark steyn, it's great to see you. >> it's a great tramp stamp to get. i recommend that. >> tucker: it's true.

winner to receive receive the fake news story trophy!" it seems like a joke, but apparently the other networks struck it till mike took it seriously. the wikileaks bombshell that went absolutely nowhere. abc had to suspend brian ross after he falsely claimed evidence of pre-election collusion between trump and russia, even though dave weikel of "the washington post," who now has a mustache got involved. using a misleading photo to suggest that it was md rather than packed. it was quite a week for the press but instead of pausing for self reflection david frum of the atlantic said these bungle stories prove the importance of trusting the media. >> the mistakes are precisely the reason people should trust the media. astronomers make mistakes all the time because science is a process of discovery of truth. astrologers never make mistakes, or at least they never own up to them because what they are offering is a closed system of ideology and propaganda. >> tucker: so the mistakes are

the reason you ought to trust the accuracy. is it brilliantly counterintuitive or just stupid? that's the question. joe concha writes about media for the hill. mollie hemingway is a senior editor at the federalist and they both join us tonight. molly, first to you. i don't begrudge anybody at the right to make a mistake once in a while, i've made a ton of them for sure. i just can't help but notice that all the mistakes that the different channels are making are in the same direction. although mistakes seem to be kind of solidifying liberal views on things. >> just in this last week alone, you mentioned a few of the stories, but you didn't even get all of the stories that there were mistakes. a false report about deutsche bank subpoenaing trump financial accounts. there's many, and "the new york times" said that k.t. mcfarland admitted collusion. she did not admit collusion. all the stories go in the same ways. they want us to believe that these are just routine and they are something that happens occasionally. why are they all going in the same direction?

if they truly were just accidents and things that happened as part of the job, you would expect to see errors going different directions. errors that make trump look good as well as bad. or you would've expected to see the same level of erroneous reporting on barack obama. we did not say that. >> tucker: i don't remember seeing that at all. joe, again, people make mistakes, but if you are consistently wrong and way out over your skis making predictions that don't match reality, and any other business you would be demoted or at least asked to take some time off. you would be fired from the military. no one ever gets fired in the media except for groping others at christmas parties. >> brian ross to get a four-week suspension. let's be clear about that. the cnn case there were no suspensions or reprimands in that particular instance. i keep hearing, and i saw the story in the press briefing today, reporters are saying we just made mistakes, we're just trying to get to the truth. the problem is there is a rush to get to that every time and to see an example is perfect with the wikileaks story because remember, the network went ahead with information that was read

to them and in "the washington post" of the right thing. they actually got the document that showed that the information was false and that donald trump jr. and trump associates receive that information ten days later. in other words, they took a little more effort, took a little more time and actually got the document. one more point, by the way, in terms of we hear about unnamed sources. these aren't innocent whistle-blowers. these are political operatives. they may even be lawmakers themselves. they realize now they can weaponize false information because you have reporters that are like that, jim comey analogy, seagulls of at the beach you will eat anything and gobble it up regardless of the quality or even know what they are eating. when we give you one more stat. jim shooter, foreign affairs correspondent for cnn, he pushet the story like everybody does when their network it's a big exclusive. that got 2300 retweets and 3300 likes on twitter. he then sends out the correction saying we got it wrong and this is what the story actually says.

you know how many retweets that got? 52. only 148 locks. i'm not very good at math, but i believe that's about 2%. the allegation always trumps the exoneration. >> tucker: molly, the substance of the stories, the ridiculous washer story or how many people went to some from probably come in the end who cares. but if we were in a war where there were an actual crisis in this country and no one trusted media outlets, what with that due to our society? >> is a very dangerous thing to not be able to trust a media outlet or have a general confidence that the media will get a story right. but i actually think the substance is key here. what would seem for the last year is an obsession with a story about treasonous collusion with russia to steal an election. the substance of that is so important. it has undermined and legitimately elected president and it has been something the media have been hammering on day after day. multiple stories a day. what if the real scandal is that

that itself was an information operation and that it was weaponize and it was distributed through the media and our media people either willingly fell for it, or unwittingly fell for it. either of those scenarios is extremely dangerous and it doesn't feel like we have a media complex capable of really digging into the significance of that story. >> tucker: incapable of self reflection. i actually start to think that's exact when it was. i wish we had more time. thank you both. >> thank you. >> tucker: it's been a turbulent contest to put it mildly, but alabama senate race finally ends tomorrow. democrats are making the contest all about race, weirdly. one african-american jones motor disagrees with that. he's from birmingham, alabama, and he's here to explain what's going on with that next. ♪ , santa. i got this. santa: uh, it looks a little tight. perfect fit. santa needs an f-150. that's ford, america's best selling brand. hurry in today for 0% financing for 72 months across the full line up of ford cars, trucks and suvs.

against roy moore on the issues such as roy moore's, his civil rights history and some of the things such as he wanted to keep segregation a language in the constitution. those are issues that doug jones has brought out on the flyer, i did not like that flyer, but he has promoted his campaign and he has marketed to african-american communities as well as other democratic bases to get them out the vote. >> tucker: what i find i guess insulting about this, and i'm not african-american nor a democrat so i'm just sort of watching from the outside. it seems insulting kind of -- if someone tried to get my vote by making it all about someone who's against white people, i would say okay, but where is he on tax rates? it seems like this is a very tired way to campaign, you see it a lot. why do it in this race? >> everybody's doing it. luther strange, when luther strange got beat down by roy moore, luther strange was one of the most race baiting campaigns i've ever seen. roy moore has done it in a way

in which he talked about immigration and building a wall. he has all these brown people on camera to say we don't like them. that is what his campaign is based upon. >> tucker: luther strange is not running for anything now. >> i'm telling you. >> tucker: ran a racist campaign against roy moore in a primary that doesn't even make sense given the demographics of alabama. i don't even know what you're talking about. >> and that's what he did! it does make sense. that's the beauty of it. he's trying to create racially charged -- he was trying to create the campaign to make it racially charged and that's what he did and he got whipped. however, now we have roy moore who is doing something similar. >> tucker: here's the point, -- >> i'm trying to educate you about it. >> tucker: there are a lot of reasons that you might be against roy moore. i think you could take his accuser seriously, you might not like his position on x, y, or z, but he's not trying to bring segregation back to alabama and he would have to be dumb to think that he is. let's be honest.

>> i did not say that. i thought -- a segregation a language. i didn't say that. >> tucker: the jones campaign. >> i'm making sure. >> tucker: absolutely. >> jones is not thing he wanted to bring back segregation, that's not what he said. doug jones is bring out the fact that roy moore wanted to keep segregation a language in the alabama constitution. that's a major issue for so many people including blacks and whites because we want to get rid of that language and roy moore supported it. >> tucker: no one is trying to bring back -- that's a debate about language. but its real-life implications are pretty much zero. no one is trying to bring segregation back to the state of alabama. no one in this race. no noncrazy person is trying to do that. so it's not really about that. this is about trying to scare people and it doesn't seem like it's necessary, and it leads to lasting wounds that don't go away. why do that, and why do it in every single race?

>> i don't know why roy moore is trying to scare people into voting for him. i don't know why roy moore is trying to scare people into voting for him. that's what his ads are portraying. they are trying to scare people about immigrants, trying to make the immigration -- the people who need immigration, the immigration bogeyman. but both sides have gone low bar with their mailers and their ads. i do say that. but i do support jones. >> tucker: here's the difference. you should be afraid of our immigration policy, because of what happened this morning in new york, what happened last week in sweden. it's not a racial question. you can be terrified of our immigration policy and not a racist. >> why are you saying we should be terrified about it? >> tucker: it's making the country poorer and more dangerous. it's not a race attack, it's a statement of fact and you are not a bigot for saying that. >> that's not true. no it's not. i appreciate you saying that, but it's not true. >> tucker: thanks for coming on. i appreciate it. richard christy's advised both

of hillary clinton's presidential campaigns and he joins us now. i guess what bugs me -- and i'm not taking up the cudgel on behalf of roy moore, i'm just pointing out that like you don't need to do this. you could run a series of ads against roy moore about him being impeached as a judge or about the accusations against him. you don't have to pretend that he some kind of klansman or george wallace replica, because he's not. why are they doing this? >> ask richard shelby why he said not only could he not vote for roy moore, but he didn't think other people should and he didn't think roy moore represented what alabama should. and he's not talking about race. doug jones -- >> tucker: you're making my point for me. why didn't doug jones to that? >> he said the mailer speaks for itself. in an odd way it roy moore is the one bite introduced raised by talking about when america was great again, it's one theres labor because families were together. roy moore said we should abolish

all amendment after the tenth, which would mean no abolition of slavery. no 19th amendment giving women the right to vote. et cetera, et cetera. if anybody is kind of putting race in, it's roy moore. nobody is suggesting we go back to these things. >> tucker: that's kind of the point. you can agree or disagree with moore on a whole bunch of things but to compare them to george wallace or to suggest, as this flyer does that he wants to bring segregation back. he hasn't suggested that, there's no evidence he wants that. whenever you say something like that it makes people more afraid, it divides the country that are ways that are permanen permanent. >> all i'm saying is i don't think a statement in 2011 -- this is a relatively recent comment. >> tucker: wouldn't it be easier to ask mario for meeting people's rights? >> he's lying about these women. what you say asking? he can't level with people about what he did with these women.

>> tucker: on a policy question, it's really simple. i've never thought people persist in assuming what other people think when you can just ask. it roy moore, whatever you think about them, is pretty upfront about what he believes. he's willing to say the most unfashionable things. should everyone over the age of 18 with a felony record be allowed to vote? he would say yes. >> richard shelby, the other senator has as much at stake and who that other position would be including donald trump. and even he couldn't bring himself to root vote for roy moore. >> tucker: my point is not that every decent person should vote to run more, i don't think that. i'm saying and campaign after campaign after campaign, democrats have only one picture african-american voters, and that is the other side hates you because of your race. i just think over time that divides the country, i think in a lot of cases is totally untrue. if the sleaziest way to campaign. why keep doing it?

>> could you blame a black motor for looking at roy moore's record -- he is not even in the state to campaign. the fact that roy moore can't bring himself to speak to black voters and that he takes these positions that are so antithetical, slavery was the time we want to make america great back to. >> tucker: look, you are not going to get me in a position where i'm defending everything roy moore says. he didn't actually endorse slavery. >> i'm not saying he did. >> tucker: why not attack his views on, i don't know, tax rates, or something real? >> the question one was america great again, and what does he go to? he goes to the time of slavery. it's not just jones. >> tucker: you think roy morris for slavery? >> i think roy moore has this fantasized view that yes that's when america was at its best. we had slavery, but in his adult view, families were close, which is hideous. >> tucker: do you think roy moore -- you don't think he's for slavery? you don't have the evidence he

is a racist. >> i'm looking at what roy moore said. >> tucker: let's be real for a second. if you have evidence he's a racist? you don't. he's never said anything that's racist. he said a lot of things that many people may disagree with, but why call him a racist, that's all i'm asking. >> i think people of color find it deeply offensive when he says when we had america great again was not a time of slavery. is that racist? yes, fundamentally. >> tucker: do you think black voters at all feel patronized by white liberals -- the only pitch they ever make is that the other side is racist. don't you think some black voters think why don't you just treat me like a normal person and tell me about how you're going to make the schools better or make the roads better or lower my taxes, some normal issue. do you ever think i feel patronized by that? >> i don't think that's the message. it's about health care, it's jobs. it's about pay, it's about income equality. >> tucker: those are real issues. those are real messages. i never hear them, but maybe they are out there. >> i think they are, but time

california, just issued a statement today in support of planned parenthood. even in the face of them facing an investigation, a federal investigation from the department of justice now for their years long scheme with companies like stem express and advanced bioscience resources, and other laboratories to harvest and sell tiny baby hearts, lungs, liver's and brains from their late-term abortions. unfortunately the most prominent people who were in planned parenthood's corner still seem to be with them. and it's really a problem in the evidence is not going to be able to be kept under wraps to be kept covered up forever. planned parenthood's allies in high places like george judge . he has a long history of affiliation with planned parenthood. he helped open and run and fund a planned parenthood clinic in san francisco that is now part of the affiliate that is suing me in his courtroom. he needs to recuse himself, he still hasn't on that.

he's the one trying to keep the remaining videotapes under wrap, which are now going to be all the more relevant in light of the federal doj investigation. >> tucker: 50 years from now his ancestors will be ashamed and so will dianne feinstein's of what they're doing right now. i appreciate everything you're doing. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: u.s. tech companies are more powerful than any corporations in any -- history. what's the best way to ring them and if they should be at all? the chairman of the the fcc jos next. ♪

♪ >> tucker: you think of the fcc as kind of an obscure federal body, not anymore. it's under attack now for its plans to repeal an obama era regulation known as net

neutrality. a lot of people, a lot of famous people have very strong opinions about net neutrality. they warn if it is repealed the handful of tech companies will have total control over the internet. wait, doesn't that already describe the status quo? the chairman of the fcc, he's been at the center of a lot of criticism recently and he joins us tonight. great to see you. >> great to see you, too. >> tucker: i don't actually think this, but here's the line. if net neutrality is rolled back, a handful of companies will be able to control content and if they don't like what they are seeing they can shut it down. should we be worried about that? >> no, i think what net neutrality repealed would actually mean is we once i again have a friend open internet. they should not be saying how anybody manages the network. we had that free market approach for years, starting in president clinton's time all the way through 2015. the internet wasn't broken when the obama fcc tried to fix it

and we've seen the effects of these regulations over the last two years made for worse infrastructure investments, less innovation and i think that's part of the reason why these regulations need to be repealed. >> tucker: those changes were in the middle of the biggest witch hunt in american history. what would happen if this was repealed in the southern poverty law center said i saw fox news the other night that hate speech, internet service provider shut them down. what would prevent the service provider from doing that? >> one thing is that the fcc requires transparency. if any isp engaged in that kind of conduct they would have to disclose it. additionally the federal trade commission would have control of it. you put your finger at something very important that i talked about. where is the real -- free and open internet. it's not internet service providers, at some of the content companies that decide what you see on the internet and more importantly what you don't see. where is the transparency there? should we have a conversation that involves them as well? >> tucker: why don't we?

you up to companies, google and facebook the control 90% of all digital ad dollars. that means that basically control all news on the internet. nobody ever says anything about it, nobody appears were the mic worried it. why is that? >> i'm not sure why. what you do see rum links on capitol hill, members of both parties in both houses are a little bit worried about what's going on in the internet in terms of transparency and how some of these decisions are being made. i have some of these externs, when twitter restricted congresswoman mark blackburn ma blackburn's video announcing her run for the senate. her pro-life views. dennis prager's videos. a lot of these decisions impinge on the free expression online that we've all come to cherish, but there's no real transparency into how these decisions are made. >> tucker: and there's never any outcry, as there is with net neutrality. i'm not even sure what i think of it, but it does seem like someone is spending a lot of money to lobby public opinion on the subject, the opinions of famous people.

is it the big tech companies lobbying against? >> i'm not sure who exactly is funding all of these things, but what i can say is that hysteria has reached a pitch which is completely disproportionate to the facts. we weren't living in the broken internet in 2015. all of these harms that this liberties are talking about are all hypothetical. there's no market failure. internet service providers are not, and have not, blocked content willy-nilly. we are confident going forward that given the robust rules that we have and the federal trade commission has, they won't going forward. >> tucker: went on facebook, google and twitter have blocked content willy-nilly and continue to and nobody does anything about it. thank you for coming on. great to see you. >> thanks, good to see you too. >> tucker: we will be back in just a minute. ♪ looking for balance in your digestive system?
