00:00:00.000 Folks, I've been saying for a long time, Tucker Carlson is not conservative.
00:00:04.000 He is not conservative.
00:00:05.000 Now, many people didn't believe me.
00:00:06.000 I get it.
00:00:07.000 The Tucker Carlson from Fox News, the guy who says he hates illegal immigration, the one who campaigned with President Trump.
00:00:13.000 Yeah, that guy.
00:00:14.000 Well, yesterday, Tucker Carlson laid bare his true beliefs.
00:00:17.000 The mask is pretty much totally off at this point.
00:00:19.000 He no longer even really pretends to be conservative.
00:00:22.000 Tucker Carlson believes that the American system of economics is rigged by conspiratorial powers, that we're in the middle of a class war, and that you are being distracted by all those unimportant issues, you know, like trans or BLM.
00:00:33.000 You know, just the way all the Democratic Socialists say.
00:00:36.000 Now, why is this important?
00:00:38.000 Because we are still in a battle for the soul of the conservative movement.
00:00:41.000 And Tucker is still in the ear of many people in the White House.
00:00:44.000 Listen, too many people remember the Tucker from Fox News, or maybe the Tucker from CNN, or maybe the Tucker from MSNBC.
00:00:49.000 They think, hey, that guy seemed like a conservative, and this guy looks physically like that guy.
00:00:55.000 But here is the thing Tucker Carlson is not conservative.
00:00:58.000 Now, you can listen to Tucker all you want.
00:00:58.000 He just isn't.
00:01:00.000 I get it.
00:01:01.000 He's entertaining, and he's bizarrely fascinating.
00:01:04.000 And he does an amazing job of pretending.
00:01:07.000 He has access to all the conspiratorial secrets of the universe. 0.99
00:01:10.000 Also, he sells nicotine pouches made in India. 0.68
00:01:12.000 But here's the thing age him up about 10 years, give him a Brooklyn accent, and he's basically Bernie Sanders.
00:01:17.000 I have the video to prove it.
00:01:19.000 I'll explain in just one moment.
00:01:20.000 Plus, we'll get to Candace Owens apparently getting scammed for 10 grand, Jews getting stabbed in Zorn Mamdani's New York, and Elon Musk taking on the European media, all that and more on today's Ben Shapiro show.
00:01:38.000 Okay, so yesterday Tucker Carlson did an interview with Stephen A. Smith.
00:01:41.000 Pretty interesting from a wide variety of perspectives.
00:01:44.000 Tucker talked about how he had basically given up on Trump over Ron, which we knew since he called him the Antichrist, and how the country is being run by a secret cabal, you know, all the usual Tucker stuff.
00:01:53.000 But there is something he said that is making some waves because the mask is off and it shows who Tucker truly is a left wing conspiracy theorist, basically Bernie Sanders.
00:02:01.000 All right, enough of the buildup.
00:02:03.000 Here's the clip.
00:02:08.000 Which has nothing to do with race and has to do with economics.
00:02:11.000 And the people benefiting from the private equity scams and the crypto scams and all the other scams underway in the American economy, where we don't really produce anything, we just lend money at high interest, sell real estate again and again.
00:02:22.000 Those people are getting richer than everyone else, the billionaire class.
00:02:26.000 And they don't want to deal with questions about how exactly this works.
00:02:29.000 Why are they paying half the taxes that you're paying as a wage earner?
00:02:33.000 Like, I don't really get that.
00:02:34.000 And they don't want to have to defend it.
00:02:35.000 So instead, they're like, the real problem is race.
00:02:38.000 And so in a normal country, you just have a revolution.
00:02:40.000 People are like, I'm not putting up with this.
00:02:41.000 But in our country, because every conversation is controlled by the media filter, we don't even know what's happening. 0.96
00:02:47.000 And so people are like, well, my life sucks. 0.98
00:02:48.000 It must be the whites. 1.00
00:02:50.000 And some whites are like, it must be the blacks or whatever. 0.98
00:02:52.000 It's like, this is racial foment. 0.92
00:02:55.000 This is racial conflict, which is created by the people who are taking all the money.
00:03:01.000 Okay.
00:03:02.000 Tucker is just a Marxist.
00:03:03.000 It's not a slur, it's a genuine description of his worldview.
00:03:06.000 He believes in class conflict, he believes that all the outcomes are rigged by the rigged system. 0.96
00:03:11.000 He believes that they, wink wink, are rigging the system by getting you all hot and bothered about trans and Black Lives Matter, racial divisions that you'll be distracted from the gigantic sucking sound from the rich people who are screwing you. 0.72
00:03:24.000 I mean, who does that sound like? 0.96
00:03:26.000 Who does it?
00:03:26.000 I'm having a time.
00:03:28.000 The worst fear that the ruling class in this country has is that Americans, black, white, Latino, urban and rural, gay and straight, young and old, that all of us will come together to demand a government that represents.
00:03:46.000 All of the people in our country, not just the wealthy few.
00:03:51.000 The oligarch's nightmare is that we will not allow ourselves to be divided up by race, religion, sexual orientation, or country of origin, and will together have the courage to take them on.
00:04:05.000 Will this struggle be easy?
00:04:08.000 Absolutely not.
00:04:10.000 And one of the reasons for that is that the ruling class of this country will constantly remind you that they have all the power.
00:04:19.000 They control the government.
00:04:21.000 They own the media.
00:04:22.000 You want to take us on?
00:04:24.000 Good luck, they will say.
00:04:25.000 There is nothing you can do about it.
00:04:30.000 Hey, Tucker and Bernie are indistinguishable.
00:04:32.000 If you just switch the inflections, they sound the same.
00:04:35.000 Now, Tucker does this routine all the time, where when he's called on this, he says, Me, a socialist?
00:04:40.000 No!
00:04:41.000 Right?
00:04:42.000 But I'm just wondering do people who generally like the free market argue in favor of feudalism?
00:04:48.000 Again, this is the classic principle of actually how you get a king, right?
00:04:52.000 Because they're generationally.
00:04:54.000 Invested in the well being of the land they're ruling, the people they're ruling, and they have the power to control the outcomes there.
00:05:00.000 So if you actually care about that, if you're actually going to benefit, why not invest your control in actually producing a better population?
00:05:06.000 I completely agree.
00:05:06.000 I mean, feudalism is so much better than what we have now because, at least in feudalism, the leader is vested in the prosperity of the people he rules.
00:05:14.000 Right.
00:05:14.000 You know, if all your serfs die, you starve.
00:05:18.000 There's a, there's a true incentive to care for those people.
00:05:18.000 Yeah.
00:05:20.000 Now, I'm not saying that I just like capital.
00:05:25.000 I love, as an American, I love capitalism.
00:05:27.000 I mean, I hate capitalism.
00:05:29.000 But I also, but I love it because I don't want to be called a socialist.
00:05:32.000 But I really, really hate it.
00:05:33.000 I mean, really deep down.
00:05:35.000 Okay, here he was in 2019.
00:05:37.000 I mean, again, this goes back a ways.
00:05:39.000 People are just picking up on the Tucker of it now.
00:05:41.000 Some of us were picking up on the Tucker of this some years ago.
00:05:44.000 Back in 2019, when he was still on Fox News, he was doing the capitalism robs us of our souls routine.
00:05:51.000 But first, Republican leaders will have to acknowledge that market capitalism is not a religion.
00:05:57.000 Market capitalism is a tool, like a staple gun or a toaster. 0.99
00:06:01.000 You'd have to be a fool to worship it. 0.77
00:06:04.000 Our system was created by human beings for the benefit of human beings. 0.99
00:06:07.000 We do not exist to serve markets, just the opposite.
00:06:10.000 Any economic system that weakens and destroys families is not worth having.
00:06:15.000 A system like that is the enemy of a healthy society.
00:06:19.000 By the way, no one has argued that we ought to worship the free markets.
00:06:23.000 The free markets are a description of a private property system in which you have rights.
00:06:27.000 Tucker has been talking about collectivization for quite a while. 0.89
00:06:30.000 The only thing really that distinguishes Tucker Carlson from Bernie Sanders at this point is that he doesn't like the trans.
00:06:35.000 And in his own words, All that stuff is just a distraction anyway.
00:06:38.000 And of course, on foreign policy, Tucker is utterly indistinguishable from Zoran Momdani, let alone Bernie Sanders.
00:06:44.000 Again, Tucker has direct access to the White House right now.
00:06:47.000 It's important that if we're going to debate policy out in the open, then actual facts and logic should be deployed here because shouting at the sky in deranged Twitter posts that are longer than War and Peace, that probably isn't it.
00:06:58.000 Now, Tucker put out a bizarre tweet yesterday that legitimately is a novel.
00:07:04.000 Ma'am, this is a Taco Bell.
00:07:06.000 And you tell me if this sounds like a guy who should be guiding the future of the Republican party or American foreign policy.
00:07:13.000 We're going to have to break this down because it's really, really, really long.
00:07:13.000 So here is what he wrote.
00:07:16.000 I'm just warning you.
00:07:17.000 It's long because something has gone wrong here.
00:07:21.000 So Tucker Carlson writes this quote.
00:07:23.000 Obviously, this little freak, he's talking about me.
00:07:26.000 Obviously, this little freak could go volunteer to fight the war himself, but of course he won't.
00:07:30.000 He's got no interest in making any kind of personal sacrifice.
00:07:33.000 Now listen, I'm not going to get down in the mud with Tucker by slinging names at him or maligning his physical appearance.
00:07:40.000 That wouldn't be that tough, but I'm not gonna do it.
00:07:43.000 I'm just gonna point out the logical fallacies of this rather effeminate and emotive vomit post.
00:07:48.000 So Tucker Carlson is in favor of ICE deporting more people, as am I.
00:07:52.000 He could join ICE at any moment.
00:07:54.000 Why doesn't he?
00:07:54.000 I mean, he could.
00:07:55.000 Well, because he doesn't want to.
00:07:57.000 He's very comfortable in his main hideaway or his Florida mansion or maybe that prospective house in Qatar that he was bragging about recently.
00:08:03.000 Why won't he join ICE?
00:08:04.000 He could go volunteer to fight that war himself, but of course he won't.
00:08:09.000 He's got no interest in making that kind of personal sacrifice.
00:08:12.000 See the silliness of the argument.
00:08:13.000 Tucker continues.
00:08:13.000 Okay.
00:08:14.000 None of them do.
00:08:16.000 Them.
00:08:17.000 Who does he mean by them?
00:08:18.000 We'll see in just a moment.
00:08:19.000 Israel's finance minister bragged the other day that having American soldiers fight Netanyahu's war is the best for us.
00:08:25.000 Smotrich doesn't want to die for Israel.
00:08:26.000 Neither does Ben Shapiro.
00:08:27.000 Dying for Israel is your job, says Tucker Carlson.
00:08:30.000 So, a lot of lies here from Tucker. 0.96
00:08:31.000 And again, trying to disentangle all the lies in this bewildering array of silliness, it's going to take a moment.
00:08:40.000 So, we have to untangle it.
00:08:42.000 Let's start with this.
00:08:43.000 Batalos Motrich said that Israel had no interest in pushing itself into an operation in Iran in which the United States had said it did not want Israel involved.
00:08:51.000 Israel, you will remember, was fighting alongside the United States for the entirety of the war until the United States told Israel to stop, which is when Israel stopped.
00:09:00.000 As far as his contention that Motrich doesn't want to die for Israel, Motrich served in the IDF.
00:09:06.000 His oldest son is in the IDF.
00:09:08.000 His oldest son was wounded by shrapnel in the IDF in Lebanon.
00:09:12.000 What's more, nobody is asking you to die for Israel.
00:09:15.000 No one is asking anyone to die for Israel.
00:09:17.000 He doesn't want Americans to die for America, let alone for Israel.
00:09:17.000 Trump isn't.
00:09:21.000 First of all, saying that you want the military to take on America's enemies is not asking Americans to die any more than saying that you want the police to crack down on, say, inner city crime is saying you want Americans to die for your own safety.
00:09:33.000 Public policy is public policy.
00:09:35.000 Second, Trump isn't fighting this war for Israel.
00:09:38.000 He has said this a thousand times.
00:09:39.000 Tucker is a conspiracy theorist who believes that Trump has been taken in by the nefarious Jewish powers that be.
00:09:44.000 But Trump, you may have noticed, is a rather independent human.
00:09:47.000 He's done a bunch of stuff during this war that I don't like.
00:09:49.000 But wait for it, wait for it.
00:09:50.000 Tucker is going to claim that Trump is actually a cat's paw for.
00:09:55.000 Of all the humans, me personally.
00:09:58.000 You see, according to Tucker, Trump works for me personally, like Ben Shapiro.
00:10:01.000 He works for me.
00:10:03.000 I know.
00:10:03.000 I know.
00:10:04.000 Well, folks, you might be getting the impression that I'm mildly annoyed by Tucker Carlson's foolishness.
00:10:09.000 And it is annoying.
00:10:10.000 It is annoying.
00:10:11.000 But it's not quite as annoying as the fact that the average human needs something like 10 servings of fruits and veggies a day to actually cover their nutritional bases.
00:10:19.000 10.
00:10:20.000 See, I have five kids and a business and a podcast.
00:10:23.000 I do not have time. to become a farmer.
00:10:26.000 I'm very skeptical of the biohackers and validity of hyped up healthy products.
00:10:29.000 This is where the just take the powder stuff.
00:10:31.000 That's where the science ends and the marketing begins.
00:10:33.000 But here's the thing.
00:10:35.000 If you do it in a simple and cohesive way, it makes sense, which is why I'm a big fan of balance of nature.
00:10:40.000 Balance of nature.
00:10:40.000 It's actually just fruits and veggies, whole food, dehydrated, put into a capsule, right?
00:10:44.000 Here you have it.
00:10:45.000 The fiber and spice.
00:10:46.000 Or, for example, perhaps you have a tough time with the veggies, which is a big thing for me.
00:10:51.000 Here are the veggies.
00:10:52.000 It's very, very simple.
00:10:52.000 Here are the fruits.
00:10:53.000 I take the fruits and veggies capsules every morning before breakfast.
00:10:56.000 The kids love those freeze dried snacks.
00:10:58.000 Nobody in my house has to look a kale salad in the eye in months.
00:11:02.000 Well, frankly, that's the real victory for everyone.

00:11:21.000 So here's what he says You've got to wonder how people like this, again, he's talking about me.
00:11:27.000 Liars without honor, wisdom, or loyalty to the United States wound up in positions of such profound influence throughout our society.
00:11:33.000 Ah, it's a suspicious thing. 0.54
00:11:34.000 Okay, that's a lot of words.
00:11:36.000 And I do wonder at this point whether Tucker genuinely owns a mirror.
00:11:39.000 He should look in one.
00:11:40.000 If you're talking about people who lie for a living, Tucker lies like he breathes.
00:11:44.000 You may remember that time that Tucker literally lied directly to the New York Times. 0.76
00:11:47.000 They confronted him about calling President Trump the Antichrist, and Tucker just lied because, again, the man lies for a living.
00:11:56.000 But I ask because, you know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist.
00:12:00.000 I have not said that.
00:12:02.000 On your show the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing in ceremony as president.
00:12:08.000 You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book.
00:12:14.000 And then on a recent show, you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods, and exalting himself above them.
00:12:22.000 Could this be the Antichrist?
00:12:25.000 I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist?
00:12:27.000 Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods.
00:12:34.000 And exalting himself above them.
00:12:36.000 Could this be the Antichrist?
00:12:39.000 Well, who knows?
00:12:42.000 I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips because I'm not sure I fully understand what the Antichrist is.
00:12:48.000 If there's just one, I actually tried to understand it.
00:12:52.000 I may have said some are asking that.
00:12:54.000 I'm not weighing in on that because I don't understand it.
00:12:59.000 I don't understand it.
00:13:00.000 I just, I talk, could he be the Antichrist?
00:13:03.000 I don't know.
00:13:04.000 No, these are all questions that just have.
00:13:07.000 Does Tucker have a lot of honor?
00:13:09.000 He says that I have no honor.
00:13:10.000 Does he have a lot of honor?
00:13:12.000 I don't consider it the most honorable thing to laugh at conspiracy theories, maligning the wife of my supposed friend, Charlie Kirk.
00:13:12.000 I don't know.
00:13:21.000 Takes the gun apart, leaves the screwdriver there, puts it under a towel.
00:13:25.000 Spider Man's his way off the top of a building, runs across campus with the gun apparently under a towel.
00:13:30.000 Nobody sees this.
00:13:31.000 He runs into the woods, puts the gun back together again without the screwdriver.
00:13:35.000 He's a regular MacGyver, this guy. 0.99
00:13:37.000 And then he hides the gun in the backyard of a house owned by Palantir. 0.99
00:13:40.000 And if you think anything else besides that, you're a crazy Jew hating conspiracy nut. 0.98
00:13:53.000 Is Tucker Carlson wise? 0.99
00:13:55.000 That's not the first word that might come to mind for me.
00:13:55.000 I don't know.
00:13:58.000 I'm not sure it's all that wise to, say, attribute scratches on your back while you are in bed with multiple dogs to mysterious demons.
00:14:08.000 I had a direct experience with it.
00:14:13.000 In the milieu of journalism or just in my bed at night, and I got attacked.
00:14:17.000 While I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled.
00:14:23.000 Physically mauled.
00:14:25.000 In a spiritual attack by a demon? 0.59
00:14:27.000 Yeah, by a demon.
00:14:30.000 Or by something unseen that left.
00:14:32.000 Is that right?
00:14:33.000 Claw marks on my sides, on my.
00:14:35.000 So it left physical marks.
00:14:36.000 Oh, they're still there.
00:14:37.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:14:38.000 A year and a half ago.
00:14:42.000 So much wisdom.
00:14:46.000 As for loyalty, aside from, you know, giving credibility to the worst enemies of Charlie Kirk like Nick Fuentes, I'm not sure it's the most loyal thing to America to travel to Russia to wax poetic about the tyrannical regime, or to host guests who talk about why we need to cede power to China, or to label Hamas a political group, or to talk about the magic of Iranian leadership on behalf of the entire Middle East.
00:15:06.000 I don't know.
00:15:07.000 None of that seems super America first loyal to me.
00:15:09.000 I don't know.
00:15:10.000 I mean.
00:15:14.000 Putin, who's been there for 25 years, his country's improved.
00:15:16.000 The people are happier.
00:15:17.000 They like him, actually.
00:15:19.000 Putin has been the most effective leader in my lifetime.
00:15:23.000 No one asked me whether Putin's our enemy.
00:15:24.000 Why is Putin my enemy?
00:15:25.000 He's never done anything to me.
00:15:26.000 He's never called me a racist.
00:15:30.000 And on Iran.
00:15:33.000 And the rest of the world is watching this in horror, and no one's doing anything about it. 0.91
00:15:36.000 The United States is abetting it.
00:15:38.000 The United States is helping it happen, despite what they tell you. 0.88
00:15:40.000 Those are American weapons and weapon systems being used to murder Christians in Lebanon. 0.95
00:15:46.000 Who is doing something about it? 0.97
00:15:47.000 Iran. 1.00
00:15:48.000 Hate to say that. 0.99
00:15:50.000 Wish that weren't true.
00:15:51.000 Wish it didn't fall to Iran to do something about this, but it has, and they are.
00:15:56.000 And they're doing more about this than any other country, including ours, including any of the Gulf states.
00:16:01.000 Sorry.
00:16:03.000 Yes, according to Tucker Carlson, Iran is defending Christians in Lebanon.
00:16:07.000 Also on Hamas, you know, an actual terrorist group, but he doesn't think it is.
00:16:12.000 You can't claim that they're in Hamas while simultaneously claiming that Hamas is a group of jihadis.
00:16:19.000 They're Islamic extremists, which they also claim constantly, which I don't know if that's true, by the way.
00:16:25.000 It seems more like a political organization, but whatever it is, they're telling us constantly they're Al Qaeda.
00:16:33.000 Okay. 0.78
00:16:33.000 Or, you know, here's Tucker, America First Tucker, talking about the magic of Sharia law making for clean cities. 0.78
00:16:39.000 There's not a single Western city that's thriving. 0.99
00:16:45.000 And they're all degrading in exactly the same way.
00:16:47.000 But you go to a country like Japan or the Emirates or Qatar or Saudi Arabia, and you see that when people are self confident, when they're really pleased with what they're doing and they believe that their system is the right system.
00:17:02.000 That self confidence results in a kind of welcoming attitude.
00:17:08.000 So, you'll be sitting at dinner in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and you'll say, you know, I'm really kind of pro Jesus, like I'm a Christian.
00:17:16.000 They'll be like, oh, that's so great.
00:17:18.000 And they don't have the same beliefs.
00:17:20.000 Well, they mean it.
00:17:21.000 And they don't have the same beliefs. 1.00
00:17:22.000 No, they're Muslims.
00:17:22.000 They're Muslims.
00:17:23.000 It's a country governed by Sharia law. 1.00
00:17:25.000 Right. 1.00
00:17:26.000 And they're like, that's great.
00:17:30.000 In Islamist countries all over the world, they love Christianity. 1.00
00:17:30.000 It's true. 1.00
00:17:33.000 It's what Sharia law is all about.
00:17:36.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment. 0.77
00:17:37.000 First, running a business is hard enough without having to become an insurance expert on the side.
00:17:40.000 But that's exactly what happens to a lot of business owners.
00:17:42.000 You sign a policy, suddenly you're supposed to know what's covered.
00:17:45.000 When you sign your insurance policy for some brokers, that's the finish line handshake, commission, and done.
00:17:50.000 And then you never hear from them again until it's time for renewal.
00:17:52.000 But your business runs all year long, so do the gaps and the risk that comes with it.
00:17:56.000 This is why I'm telling you about SuperSure.
00:17:57.000 If your company has more than 25 employees, whether you're the owner, the CFO, or the one stuck handling HR, this is too complex to just buy online.
00:18:04.000 SuperSure is the super agency built for you, licensed in every state, covering your business insurance and employee benefits with year round support for you and your team.
00:18:12.000 With SuperSure, you get real tools like fine print facts.
00:18:14.000 Which translates your current policy into plain English.
00:18:16.000 So you actually know what's covered and what is not.
00:18:18.000 And a business value calculator.
00:18:20.000 So you know what your company's worth and what actually needs protecting.
00:18:22.000 One super agency, one powerful platform.
00:18:25.000 All your policies in just one place.
00:18:27.000 Go to supersure.com slash Shapiro.
00:18:29.000 That's supersure.com slash Shapiro.
00:18:31.000 Paid for by supersure insurance agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
00:18:36.000 Okay.
00:18:36.000 More from Tucker.
00:18:38.000 Quote, how did Mark Levin get the president's cell phone number?
00:18:41.000 Why is Admiral Brad Cooper, the man in charge of the Iran war, secretly taking strategic advice from crazed Israel show Mark Dubowitz?
00:18:47.000 It's also nuts and ultimately suicidal. 0.56
00:18:48.000 Future generations will struggle to understand it.
00:18:51.000 In the meantime, Trump will likely obey Ben Shapiro as he has consistently for months.
00:18:56.000 So first of all, I got to say, awesome.
00:18:59.000 Apparently, I have the incredible godlike power to control President Trump.
00:19:03.000 So here's what President Trump should do.
00:19:05.000 I'm going to snap my fingers and he's going to do it.
00:19:09.000 End the Department of Education, restructure Social Security and Medicare, burn through the regulatory state, negotiate bilateral free trade agreements to box in China.
00:19:17.000 use the DOJ to target foreign influence operations, including China, Russia, Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.
00:19:22.000 Man, there's so much that I would do.
00:19:25.000 And because I just snapped my fingers, it happened. 0.65
00:19:27.000 In fact, on Iran, Mr. President, let's order some sorties over Pickaxe Mountain, bomb South Pars and Kharg into oblivion, unleash some special operations along with UAE and Israel to wipe out IRGC forces along the north shore of the Strait of Hormuz, and use our Navy to force open the Strait without the permission of the Saudis. 0.99
00:19:42.000 And then, just for good measure, let's kill Khaliba Fahidi and the new gay Ayatollah and his peg leg. 0.99
00:19:46.000 Let's do all those things. 1.00
00:19:48.000 And I just said it.
00:19:50.000 It happened. 0.88
00:19:50.000 Let's also unleash the Israelis on Hezbollah in Lebanon, unleash the Saudis on the Houthis, and also, by the way, unleash the Ukrainians on the Russians. 0.88
00:19:58.000 And then we can all come home and pop a bruski. 0.90
00:20:01.000 Here's the thing.
00:20:02.000 We all know that President Trump is rather independent.
00:20:05.000 Sometimes he agrees with the things that I say, and sometimes that he doesn't.
00:20:08.000 But Tucker saying that Trump obeys me is absurd on its face.
00:20:12.000 But don't worry, there's more.
00:20:14.000 I know.
00:20:14.000 This tweet was a Russian novel.
00:20:16.000 Quote, we can predict the results because every neocon victory is identical. 0.79
00:20:21.000 Huge numbers of innocent people killed, disproportionately Christians. 0.91
00:20:24.000 Economic destruction, famine, mass migration, and deepening authoritarianism at home. 0.99
00:20:28.000 That's what they're demanding because that's what they want.
00:20:33.000 They.
00:20:34.000 Who's he talking about?
00:20:35.000 The mysteries, the mysteries of the universe.
00:20:37.000 Okay, so let's start again. 0.99
00:20:39.000 Not a neocon.
00:20:40.000 Neocon refers to two groups of people who have been conflated.
00:20:43.000 First, the people who were Democrats in the 60s and were mugged by reality and then became Republicans, right?
00:20:48.000 Neocon, new conservative.
00:20:50.000 That's what that meant.
00:20:52.000 And then, second, Wilsonian foreign policy people who wanted Iraq to become a functioning and thriving democracy, and same for Afghanistan.
00:20:58.000 I don't fall into either of these two categories.
00:21:00.000 I've been a conservative my entire life.
00:21:02.000 I was never a lib.
00:21:03.000 The record is absolutely clear.
00:21:05.000 I have been writing a conservative column since I was 17 years old.
00:21:08.000 It was syndicated nationally.
00:21:09.000 I have not changed my views.
00:21:10.000 Tucker, meanwhile, has gone through more positions than the Kama Sutra during that time.
00:21:15.000 I'm also not Wilsonian in my foreign policy.
00:21:17.000 I opposed intervention in Libya, for example.
00:21:19.000 I was skeptical of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq.
00:21:23.000 We actually got something of a democracy in Iraq.
00:21:25.000 I was skeptical of involvement in Syria.
00:21:28.000 Then there's the third meaning of neocon that people use and they just mean Jew, as per the usual arrangement. 0.98
00:21:33.000 But let's continue.
00:21:35.000 According to Tucker, my goal. 0.99
00:21:36.000 Is quote, huge numbers of innocent people killed disproportionately Christians.
00:21:41.000 This is insane. 1.00
00:21:42.000 It is the only word for it.
00:21:44.000 I would, like all Americans, prefer the fewest number of innocent people killed in consonance with the pursuit of American interests.
00:21:51.000 In the best of all possible worlds, that number would be zero.
00:21:54.000 Sadly, our enemies know that we care about civilian life more than they do, so they tend to hide behind civilians.
00:21:59.000 I am not willing to forego American interests because terrorists act like terrorists. 0.99
00:22:03.000 As for this contention that I want Christians, disproportionately Christian people, to be killed, what the ever loving What the f? 0.98
00:22:12.000 First off, Tucker should read a book, like any book, like One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. 0.98
00:22:18.000 Here is a list of our wars since World War II, our major conflicts.
00:22:22.000 The Korean War. 0.81
00:22:24.000 When Kim Il sung took over, the heavily Christian North fled south to the area protected by America. 0.60
00:22:31.000 We were protecting Christians and killing communists. 0.84
00:22:33.000 The Vietnam War, same deal. 0.99
00:22:35.000 There were lots of Christians in the North. 0.71
00:22:36.000 They fled south when the commies took over, and we were fighting the commies. 0.70
00:22:40.000 Fast forward to the Iraq war. 0.86
00:22:42.000 We were fighting and killing not disproportionately Christians. 0.98
00:22:45.000 We were fighting and killing disproportionately Iraqi Muslims. 0.99
00:22:48.000 The second Iraq war, same deal. 0.99
00:22:50.000 The Afghan war, we were fighting and killing Afghan radical Muslims. 0.99
00:22:54.000 The current Iran war, we are fighting and killing Persian radical Muslims. 0.99
00:22:59.000 All of those people, by the way, routinely attacked and killed Christians.
00:23:03.000 In fact, now that I come to think of it, if I really think about it for more than like half a second, there are in fact some conflicts on planet Earth where Christians are being disproportionately targeted.
00:23:12.000 Tucker's been either silent on those or in favor of them.
00:23:15.000 In Nigeria, Christians are being massacred, and Tucker's saying pretty much nothing about that.
00:23:19.000 He's saying nothing about the Christians in Lebanon targeted by Hezbollah, which is why Lebanon went from a thriving Christian country to a Muslim-dominated, Hezbollah-dominated country. 0.71
00:23:28.000 In Ukraine, Tucker has been on the side of Russia. 0.82
00:23:30.000 You know, the country that launched the war.
00:23:32.000 The war in which hundreds of thousands of Christians have been killed.
00:23:35.000 Tucker has spent the entire war performing unspeakable acts on Vladimir Putin. 0.83
00:23:40.000 So, of course, it's incoherent, ugly nonsense from Tucker for the course.
00:23:44.000 He also says, I want economic destruction as he stumps for more global power for Russia and China and praises again, feudalism.
00:23:51.000 He also adds for good measure that I want famine and mass migration and authoritarianism here at home.
00:23:56.000 So just to point out, Russia's war has wiped out Ukrainian grain production. 0.97
00:23:59.000 Russia's in favor of Russia.
00:24:01.000 Tucker's in favor of Russia.
00:24:03.000 As far as mass migration, I'm against it. 0.88
00:24:07.000 I have always been against it.
00:24:09.000 I'm in favor of Trump's immigration policy. 0.86
00:24:11.000 While Tucker continues to stand for Muslim terrorist supporters to be kept here on green cards. 0.90
00:24:16.000 And as for authoritarianism, I'm in favor of slicing and dicing the federal government down to the size of a thimble. 0.83
00:24:23.000 Tucker has been in favor of a wide variety of expansions of the federal government, you know, to cure the evils of capitalism.
00:24:29.000 But there's more.
00:24:29.000 I know it's a never ending tweet.
00:24:30.000 Quote What can we do to stop it?
00:24:32.000 Apparently not much, but we can remember what happened and why so that history records the truth.
00:24:37.000 Otherwise, when the war ends in disaster, as it inevitably will, Ben Shapiro will be able to blame you for it.
00:24:42.000 So, of course, in the end, Tucker's recipe is despair.
00:24:45.000 There's nothing you can do because I have total control. 0.75
00:24:49.000 Man, wait until my wife. 1.00
00:24:51.000 Here's about the level of total control I exert on this planet. 1.00
00:24:54.000 Maybe I won't have to take out the garbage anymore at 11 p.m.
00:24:57.000 But in the end, here is what Tucker actually wants, what he actually wants.
00:25:00.000 He wants for the United States to lose.
00:25:02.000 And he is angry at President Trump because President Trump is refusing to lose.
00:25:06.000 If, in fact, President Trump takes Tucker's advice, which could happen, or if Trump's top negotiator in the MOU does, and he talks to Tucker regularly, we will be worse off and we'll evaluate then.
00:25:16.000 But no one on earth will be sadder if we open the Strait of Hormuz and end the Iranian threat than one Tucker Carlson.
00:25:21.000 Because again, he's just Bernie Sanders with more hair and a flannel shirt and a nicotine addiction.
00:25:26.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:25:28.000 Wasn't that amazing?
