You ever talk with a friend and then a couple of minutes later, ads relating to that exact conversation are on your phone?

You feel like Big Brother's watching or worse, like every move you make is being tracked?

Well, sadly, in our digital age, that's not paranoia.
00:01:06.620
Between criminals, government, and corporate America, it feels like personal freedom and privacy are compromised 24-7.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Human Events Special Edition.
00:01:57.080
We are here sitting down with the one, the only, Tucker Carlson.
00:02:04.200
We've been gossiping so much off camera that I know we're late.
00:02:18.500
So make sure you subscribe to the paid section, which we don't have, but if you can find the
00:02:23.540
paid section, which of course doesn't exist, that's what we'll talk about.
00:02:26.560
That's what, no, I don't know if you knew this, but I'll throw it out there that this
00:02:34.860
We actually brought back, remember the old magazine?
00:02:39.980
We went, and it's been through a couple of iterations, but it had been one of those institutions
00:02:47.520
sort of in D.C. that had never quite made the jump to digital.
00:02:52.020
And we saw it out there, and no one was using it really, and a group of people got together.
00:02:58.280
Originally, it was Raheem Kassam and a few others came in, brought it back.
00:03:07.440
No, no, that goes straight in the grave, straight in the grave.
00:03:13.100
No, but it's been amazing, and I just wanted to ask, did you ever read Human Events back
00:03:19.520
Yeah, I mean, I got to Washington as a high school student in 1985 when my dad went to
00:03:25.740
We moved from California to Georgetown, and it was pretty electric in a way.
00:03:31.140
Intellectually, the city, there was just a lot going on.
00:03:38.420
You know, he's busy wrecking America, but he was very friendly.
00:03:44.660
Like, that's where the conversation was taking place.
00:03:47.800
You know, the American spectator, I would say primarily, but also commentary, human events,
00:03:53.960
you know, just a whole bunch of New Republic even.
00:03:56.040
And so people read magazines and talked about the articles in, though.
00:03:59.860
I know I sound so incredibly old in saying that, but it's completely true.
00:04:05.620
And if you had a big-time magazine, I was a magazine writer, so I knew it.
00:04:08.940
If you had a big-time magazine piece, you know, people would talk about it at dinner.
00:04:11.920
And Human Events was in that rotation, for sure.
00:04:13.960
They used to say, so, yeah, everyone, it's kind of like the moniker, Reagan's favorite
00:04:19.120
And the story goes that, so the Bushies, right, in the Reagan White House used to try to prevent
00:04:27.060
So his guys would go and, like, smuggle it in, kind of under the arm.
00:04:31.620
And then bring it in there, and he would read it and say, wow.
00:04:38.640
You know, my family had a lot culturally in common with the Bushes.
00:04:46.340
But they were, you know, we just had a lot in common with them culturally.
00:04:54.440
But we were, like, pretty legit conservative in my family.
00:04:58.380
And we just, I guess, didn't get it or something.
00:05:02.300
And George H.W. would show up, and he had just wonderful manners,
00:05:04.840
and he wrote thank you notes, and he wore grosgrain, you know,
00:05:08.180
watch bands and loved spaniels and, like, looked just like my family.
00:05:12.260
So, I mean, I just identified with him in a way that was non-ideological,
00:05:18.220
and I missed, I mean, I can't believe I'm admitting this.
00:05:23.680
I just missed, like, the degree to which they were subverting true
00:05:28.600
and important conservative impulses, not even ideological impulses,
00:05:31.760
but just like, hey, let's not wreck our country.
00:05:34.260
And they were not at all interested in the country at all.
00:05:37.920
And the father had participated, clearly participated,
00:05:41.060
in some of the biggest cover-ups in American history
00:05:42.820
that we should all be offended by, including the Kennedy assassination.
00:05:47.020
Well, because, I don't know, for those reasons that I mentioned.
00:05:57.240
And it's funny, though, because I'll see some people, they'll go,
00:05:59.960
oh, now that Posobiec is, you know, doing human events,
00:06:03.020
that he's turned the publication into this conservative, grassroots method.
00:06:06.600
Like, no, it's always literally been that exact thing.
00:06:10.580
And it was always counterculture in a nice way.
00:06:14.000
And, but the Bushes, man, they were, that was very insidious.
00:06:18.820
They were the Obamas of the right, I would say.
00:06:32.740
And all of a sudden, George W. Bush is admitting, you know,
00:06:42.680
And that was, like, they called it good and patriotic.
00:06:45.800
And, in fact, it was the opposite of both of those things.
00:06:47.700
The most favored nation status thing is crazy to me
00:06:49.360
because that comes right on the heels of Tiananmen Square.
00:06:55.680
And we, you know, I talk about, I lived in China for two years.
00:07:24.480
You know, the Moscow mule is now the Kiev mule,
00:07:46.100
and how it's like the response to Tiananmen Square,
00:08:03.660
and take away all your ability to generate wealth
00:08:09.880
And no, we're just going to build up China instead
00:08:22.560
Well, like the blood is still on the cobblestones, right,
00:08:32.560
that you will become the factory of the world, right?
00:08:35.940
We will run, so the Bushes and that kind of tier,
00:08:40.680
we'll provide the IP, we'll provide all of this.
00:08:54.880
you know, we talk about globalism, nationalism today.
00:09:08.080
of virtually everything that was happening at the time.
00:09:24.060
and then he won the New Hampshire primary in 1996.
00:09:28.000
And I was in an editorial meeting with Bill Kristol,
00:09:33.600
who was running this magazine that I worked for at the time.
00:10:46.420
You had these people who were pushing against it.
00:10:56.780
and independent voices that have actually given.
00:11:11.680
Human nature actually doesn't acknowledge that.
00:11:13.520
We imagine everything's just the same as it was.
00:11:21.740
If you prevent those corrections from happening,
00:11:44.860
They just wanted to apply common sense principles to governance.
00:11:56.860
Like the next guy who builds a national following in Trump's footsteps will not be moderate at all.
00:12:02.400
He's going to be angry and he's going to be revolutionary.
00:12:04.660
And I can't foresee what will happen after that,
00:12:07.300
but I just know how systems work and they're ensuring that we're going to get like an actual demagogue.
00:12:23.960
the guy is not what they say is he's the opposite,
00:12:26.360
but the next guy will be what they say Trump is actually,
00:12:36.400
Like this has happened in every country on the planet,
00:13:02.740
But imagine like an actual charismatic millennial.
00:13:22.580
And that person will go after the finance infrastructure,
00:13:26.460
The people who lend money at incredibly high rates right now.
00:13:31.360
what's the average credit card rate is 19 or 20%.
00:13:33.660
We have higher credit card debt right now in this country than we've ever had in our history.
00:13:37.360
And of course you can't discharge it in bankruptcy.
00:13:45.200
It's all about training this or training that or white people are bad or whatever.
00:13:48.180
But underneath all of those distractions is the fact that people are getting much poorer.
00:13:52.380
And the one thing you're really not allowed to say for real after the foreign policy stuff,
00:13:58.960
the one thing you can't say is the banks are kind of,
00:14:04.340
the finance world is getting taxed at half the rate as the people who work like you and me.
00:14:10.440
but it's still offensive that they pay half the rate.
00:14:13.860
Are they twice as virtuous as I am or anyone else with a job?
00:14:21.160
Bernie Sanders is just a complete democratic party robot in a,
00:14:26.220
And I think they blackmailing him with using his wife is my guess.
00:14:32.540
they give him another mansion every time he drops out.
00:14:44.600
I'm aware who got those documents from within the DNC.
00:14:56.860
It was about Bernie saying Bernie Sanders criticizing billionaires,
00:15:04.440
But if you ever had a candidate who was articulate,
00:15:07.860
maybe Hispanics wouldn't have to deal with the race stuff.
00:15:20.320
We don't deserve what that system will do to us.
00:15:37.740
It's like some guy making 50 grand a year in Iowa.
00:15:44.680
And a lot of people do hate the whites because they believe the propaganda,
00:16:00.300
And another reason you don't have a house or a car.
00:16:04.380
this is why you see like Citibank and Bank of America,
00:16:21.200
2012 when people started to get serious and whatever.
00:16:24.760
I have a million views about Occupy Wall Street,
00:16:37.080
free to inventing a fake cryptocurrency and defrauding a million people.
00:16:40.440
Like you have to kind of do something about it.
00:16:44.860
And people just can't afford to live in this country anymore.
00:16:56.140
But I think it's over the economic questions that there's going to be.
00:17:17.140
They have this like spaceship thing swirling around on top sensors all around.
00:17:21.360
And they're all over the city of Phoenix and the robot taxis.
00:17:24.460
Imagine if we applied the technology to like closing the border or stopping the drug epidemic
00:17:28.600
that's killing a hundred thousand people a year.
00:18:02.840
basically the low income or the low income jobs.
00:18:08.520
what happens to all the low skill migrants that we've just imported when all those jobs are run by robots?
00:18:19.640
over and I'll talk about the great replacement,
00:18:21.500
I think the real great replacement is the robots,
00:18:31.040
Want to tell you about today's episode sponsor fume.
00:18:33.440
Fume is an innovative award nominated essential oils infuser with fume.
00:18:55.940
You're free to enjoy and can make replacing your bad habits.
00:19:00.380
producer Fize tried the fume out and he told me that it was a,
00:19:18.000
Fume has served over 100,000 customers and has thousands of success stories.
00:19:21.620
And there's no reason that can't be used to join fume and accelerating
00:19:25.080
humanity's breakup for destructive habits by picking the journey pack.

00:19:43.500
I think that we're in for a period of true domestic chaos.
00:19:52.380
we had a massive economic crisis in October of 1929.
00:19:56.580
It lasted for more than 10 years and the country,
00:20:00.180
but it hung together because the population had a lot in common with one
00:20:08.320
the civilian conservation core led by general Douglas MacArthur,
00:20:13.000
and the country did fine and was able to participate in world war two
00:20:20.640
they fought valiantly and like the country held together.
00:20:25.820
That would not be the story if we had another depression because you've had
00:20:31.820
not because they love America or believe in our founding documents.
00:20:36.140
And they have all been told to hate white people.
00:20:39.320
they came here because they want to make more money.
00:20:45.620
You have true social disunity and you have actual poverty and you have a
00:20:53.040
government that can't kind of print its way out of it because your debt
00:20:57.020
service is like bigger than your defense budget.
00:21:20.740
we can't make good on all these payments that we've promised,
00:21:35.880
we just thought there's a new movie coming out and it's all about civil war.
00:21:41.960
I think civil war is by far the worst possible outcome.
00:21:58.640
there was a restraining order that came at the very last second.
00:22:01.600
Why weren't there men with baseball bats stomping it?
00:22:12.860
I had a lot of family members who fought in the civil war.
00:22:31.240
There's so many dark things going on simultaneously.
00:22:38.040
at some point people have to just say no on a micro level.
00:22:41.360
There's nothing you can do about a lot of these big trends.
00:22:53.640
but you can do things like if they're trying to take a statue down in your town,
00:22:57.780
I've got a lot of children and how about no has been the most effective parenting tool I've ever used.
00:23:30.460
That's what mom's always doing when all the guys are fighting,
00:23:37.420
and that's why it's become such an incredibly heartless and cruel society,
00:23:45.540
It's sort of the opposite of what you would expect,
00:23:49.460
I have never thought of no as a masculine word.
00:23:54.440
I'm very hairy chested because I'm all about it.
00:24:04.580
eating bacon and drink beer and watching the game.
00:24:15.080
You have to say yes to whatever the program is.
00:24:18.840
I don't watch the game and I don't drink beer and I don't go to the gym for that matter.
00:24:24.480
but I do think that the patriarchy is the only effective system because it's consistent with human nature and overthrowing it doesn't liberate you.
00:24:41.720
I don't think no for its own sake is a good idea either.
00:24:47.940
And that's a much more feminine style of leadership,
00:24:56.800
Like we just don't do that in our family because it's not good.
00:24:58.680
And I find that when you say no in a reasonable way and you explain why you're saying no.
00:25:31.860
this country is in decline and it has been for years.
00:25:36.340
and if our leaders don't even bother to notice it,
00:25:44.420
if life expectancy and your family went way down,
00:26:03.000
but they don't think of the American population as their people at all.
00:26:06.340
They think of them as foreigners to be subjugated.
00:26:13.000
the people who lead the country have nothing in common with the people who live in the
00:26:17.040
because you mentioned Maine and we've both spent time in Maine.
00:26:19.660
And I always say Maine is like a great example of this.
00:26:23.920
you're in Kennebunkport or Gunkwit and it's gorgeous,
00:26:28.160
And then you can drive down the road like 10 minutes.
00:26:38.000
And the shipbuilding was up there and all of it.
00:26:45.880
And then there's like NASCAR Maine in the middle.
00:27:09.520
I've done what so many people who disagree with what's going on now have done,
00:27:23.980
Like I wouldn't consider going there or Portland,
00:27:34.640
running away was my first impulse when things started.
00:27:38.200
I went to a family house and that I'd gone to my whole life and live in my
00:27:44.160
I couldn't be happier because we're just so far from anybody.
00:27:51.260
The courageous move is to stay in midtown Manhattan with your middle fingers
00:27:59.840
and that's personally how I feel like what it's not your country.
00:28:03.880
And especially if you just got here and you're lecturing me about my white
00:28:15.460
And I'm just waiting for the moment that people in a,
00:28:35.780
if you really think the process that he's undergoing is fake,
00:28:58.460
which is I really try to see things objectively if I can,
00:29:08.640
that's so grotesque that I've got to think people who support Trump
00:29:31.720
They will try to install her as VP so they can take out Trump.
00:29:37.380
I was about to say there's no one more sinister than Nikki Haley,
00:29:48.780
Nikki Haley is just a physical representation of the lust for power of the oligarch class.
00:30:03.220
her views bear no resemblance to the views of Republican primary voters.
00:30:14.760
in a way that would not help the United States one bit,
00:30:20.300
And she's in the race because all these rich people are giving her money and no one will
00:30:35.720
got a hundred billion dollars and I'll give you a third of it to come out and attack Israel.
00:30:45.480
And I think that Benjamin Netanyahu is the greatest threat to world peace.
00:30:52.500
Maybe we invade Israel because they're a threat to national security.
00:31:11.320
She literally got rich on the board of a defense contractor.
00:31:34.240
I think news anchors should be required to say,
00:31:37.180
who was senile comma spoke today in the Rose garden.
00:31:40.380
we should never mention Joe Biden without reminding everyone that he's mentally deficient.
00:31:46.260
Because the fact that we have a senile president is so outrageous.
00:31:49.860
It's such an offense against all 350 million of us that we should never allow it to be forgotten even for a moment.
00:31:58.000
who is a tool of the worst people in the world who happen to have a billion dollars comma,
00:32:09.920
I could meet with her posing as some Iranian official and say,
00:32:13.200
I know you've been kind of tough in my country,
00:32:15.200
but we have massive oil reserves and we'll cut you in on them if you'll just come out and endorse us.
00:32:35.980
I'll call up my Russian handler or you could call yours.
00:32:54.920
Basically we are trying to build an alternative to the existing news offerings,
00:33:04.600
I'm not going to make the case for their corruption,
00:33:07.000
They devalued their credibility and we're not going to lie period under any
00:33:22.060
my whole life in working for big media companies,
00:33:24.240
the advertiser boycott is a really powerful tool that the left uses and they
00:33:30.760
they took all my advertising and my last employer.
00:33:34.680
ultimately they'll take you off the air if their advertisers don't like you.
00:33:57.240
but the point is you cannot be dependent on advertisers as great as they may seem.
00:34:02.780
If you're going to be independent and tell the truth and you can be taken out and I've been taken out,
00:34:13.500
And I don't want it to happen in the middle of an election year.
00:34:20.800
We're going to hire a bunch more and do the news that's not being covered anywhere else,
00:34:43.880
my producer Fazz is sitting over here and I'm like,
00:34:59.100
And so we've been greatly helped by Elon's decision to buy X and keep it free.
00:35:08.660
I'm not good at math since I got canned and we're still around because of that platform,
00:35:29.940
And you give people a taste of freedom and it's hard to take it away again.
00:35:37.040
Now I never stopped because I think it's such a great word.
00:35:43.460
I've been very offended by the murder of kids with down syndrome because they have down syndrome.
00:35:51.800
but it's obvious even to me that that's an atrocity.
00:35:57.320
down syndrome groups are agnostic on the question.
00:36:01.380
but the same people who are totally all for committing genocide against people with downs are mad.
00:36:16.060
you ever see Jeffrey Dahmer's interview that he gives after he's,
00:36:24.200
and he gives this interview like from prison and,
00:36:27.740
and he's talking about all the people that he's murdered and,
00:36:35.000
I just want to make sure everyone knows that I didn't do it because they were black,
00:37:04.480
that's of course the moral structure that's been imposed on us.
00:37:07.160
And so many of us have internalized it and sort of believe it,
00:37:12.040
saying a certain word is worse than committing an act of violence.
00:37:16.060
And so I think like Elon getting X and has just sort of changed this whole setup to where we,
00:37:29.740
And we don't have to have that little sensor of,
00:37:49.220
the physical intimidation of the left and the passive nature of the right.
00:37:56.120
I had never really been on social media very much.
00:38:02.940
who's sitting right there is the keeper of the password because I don't have self-control.
00:38:15.840
I always say there's worse things that I could be addicted to.
00:38:28.520
And here's the problem with it is that it's not dumb or crazy people.
00:38:33.840
It would be a lot easier for me to take if it was just like stupid people ranting about stuff or crazy people with their insane theories about the world that are obviously not true.
00:38:43.140
The problem with X is there are some very high IQ people on there.
00:38:48.260
Like I read some stuff on there every single day and I think,
00:38:50.580
that person's a lot smarter and more insightful than I am.
00:38:55.240
And it has the effect of making me pretty radical.
00:39:07.940
Because the only mainstream platformer you can do that.
00:39:12.460
It's the only big platform that allows free speech.
00:40:04.080
But I could kind of sense that there was more to it.
00:40:22.220
I would be personally prepared to go to prison.
00:40:31.740
I can't even describe how grateful I am for that.
00:40:36.440
I think that's the bravery that will change the world.
00:40:42.780
I've never taken a dime from Elon Musk and I never will.
00:40:48.040
but I feel it so acutely because I have been silenced in other forums that without that,
00:40:54.680
there would be no place to say what you think is true.
00:40:57.120
You would be a slave because that's what that is.
00:41:02.440
This is what we always said because back in the day when,
00:41:05.460
and I knew Doug Mackey in 2016 and we would share me.
00:41:13.800
I've had him on and we're helping him out as much as we can,
00:41:23.400
the fact that they would turn it into what they turn it into now is insane.
00:41:38.520
who I know and we've interviewed and I know his legal team because they're
00:41:52.220
some of the media coverage of Trump referring to Doug Mackey.
00:41:56.300
And the media coverage was Trump defends racist,
00:42:02.120
I don't think Doug Mackey is a racist or an anti-Semite,
00:42:06.720
he's an American citizen and he has a right to say what he thinks,
00:42:13.200
they're succeeding actually because the right hasn't bothered to defend free speech
00:42:18.600
In reframing the conversation around free speech in a way that makes a lot of
00:42:28.800
This is what we always said back in those days.
00:42:53.160
The fact that some political lobby or other doesn't like your opinions can't be grounds
00:42:59.260
for silencing those opinions or else we live in a fascist state.
00:43:05.260
any group that has the power to do that has way too much power.
00:43:13.800
I know you're doing the Tucker Carlson original still,
00:43:16.160
Do you think that you might do an episode long form on Las Vegas?
00:43:56.340
they'll never talk about the largest mass shooting in history.
00:44:00.200
And I'm just going to be totally blunt with you.
00:44:05.300
but I really did try my sincere best because it smelled wrong.
00:44:08.980
And I very often have no idea what the truth is,
00:44:21.660
guys who go shooting or have had like a modicum of military training.
00:44:45.580
You're not going to tell me I didn't hear that.
00:44:53.440
but the official account of where his body was found,
00:44:59.880
there are about 15 data points in the story that are clearly untrue.
00:45:17.740
they're downstairs talking about what they're going to do.
00:45:32.180
but as someone who's just trying to investigate something,
00:45:53.760
my dad worked for the government and including the intelligences and you sort of believe in our system and we're fighting the Soviets and we're obviously on the right side.
00:46:10.100
really all at once that all the institutions you believed in and all the popular history,
00:46:18.900
And that the people you thought were the good guys are actually the drivers of a lot of the world's evil.
00:46:22.900
And certainly the most of the chaos in the world.
00:46:29.360
and I try to be unflinching and I have a total sincere dedication to telling the truth.
00:46:51.060
because we just spent an hour talking about it off camera.
00:46:54.740
it is the duty of truth tellers to rewrite history.
00:46:58.320
And anytime they tell you that you're not allowed to question history,
00:47:08.920
I don't really know what to say other than my heart is really heavy when I think about it.
00:47:13.480
a universal demand to release all the 9-11 files.
00:47:35.240
vice presidents have a lot of authority over declassification.
00:48:04.360
It's threatening your savings and your retirement.
00:48:08.920
And that's why I want to tell you about today's sponsor.

but each trip to the grocery store feels like a soul crunching wallet,
