Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson has become a useful idiot for Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: of epic dimensions. It is the twenty eighth of February,
Speaker 1: and there are two hundred and fifty one days left
Speaker 1: until Americans decide who will be the next president of
Speaker 1: the United States. This is today's warning and a quick
Speaker 1: reminder this morning, remember subscribe to the Warning YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tucker Carlson, the preeminent useful idiot for
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's criminal, thuggish, autocratic, murdering regime. We're here to
Speaker 1: interview the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Tucker Carlson apparently
Speaker 1: is offended that he has been implicated through his idiocy
Speaker 1: in the murder of Alexander Navalni. Vladimir Putin is testing,
Speaker 1: he's probing. His moves are predicated on a belief that
Speaker 1: America is weak and is decaying. And the vessel for
Speaker 1: his misinformation, his virus, his lunacy that reaches into the
Speaker 1: heart of Middle America into the living room, is Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson is angry and aggrieved and resentful. Somehow, despite
Speaker 1: making tens of millions of dollars a year for a
Speaker 1: talent that is despicable. He profits off of his lust
Speaker 1: for cynicism, off of his titanic ego that presumes all
Speaker 1: who hear his voice are dumber than the next, susceptible
Speaker 1: to the lie, to the demagogery, to the twisting of
Speaker 1: facts their wholesale invention. What Tucker Carlson is is a
Speaker 1: broken child who somehow somewhere detached from any sense of
Speaker 1: obligation and responsibility and duty to any cause beyond his
Speaker 1: entitlements his ego. He serves no cause. But Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: has become a useful idiot for Vladimir Putin of epic dimensions,
Speaker 1: and in doing so, Tucker Carlson has confused self importance
Speaker 1: with importance. What Tucker Carlson is is an American Father Claughlin,
Speaker 1: an American Lord Hahaw, the chief voice, the chief propagandist
Speaker 1: in the land of the free for a man who
Speaker 1: hates us and wishes to undermine the cornerstones of the
Speaker 1: American way of life. What free societies always produce is
Speaker 1: this type of disease, this type of blood disease, where
Speaker 1: Americans born in privilege turn against the ideas and ideals
Speaker 1: of the country and seek to poison it. It's happened
Speaker 1: all through our history, and it's happening again. And Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson is no different than Colonel McCormick, who gave away
Speaker 1: the fact that America had broken the Japanese codes on
Speaker 1: the front page of the Chicago Tribune because he hated
Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt. No different than any of the demagogues who
Speaker 1: have risen to denounce the notion that the ideals of
Speaker 1: the country are profoundly true, that we are all created
Speaker 1: equal and endowed by a power beyond our comprehension, by
Speaker 1: a light that created all of us with inalienable rights, life, liberty,
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. This creed is the glue
Speaker 1: that binds all of us as Americans. Tucker Carlson apparently
Speaker 1: is offended. According to the always excellent Bulwark, Bill Crystal
Speaker 1: and William Eggers tell the tale of Tucker's lament. They
Speaker 1: detail his offense at being labeled a useful shill for
Speaker 1: a man who has murdered, raped, and stolen children and
Speaker 1: shipped them East. Tucker Carlson said, this can't be true.
Speaker 1: I'm a good American because my ancestors, well, they fought
Speaker 1: in the American Revolution. Well, let me say something to
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. Benedette Arnold fought in the American Revolution. He
Speaker 1: fought in the Continental Army. He commanded troops bravely, he
Speaker 1: was a general. And then he betrayed his country because
Speaker 1: he too was a broken child, crippled by ego, by grievance,
Speaker 1: affronted constantly, because he was not celebrated appropriately, and he
Speaker 1: turned against the flag. He turned against his country, just
Speaker 1: like Tucker Carlson did. Absent in Tucker Carlson's case, any
Speaker 1: prior service at all of any type worth mentioning at all.
Speaker 1: There's something that Tucker Carlson doesn't seem to understand about
Speaker 1: the United States, and it's the power of America is
Speaker 1: in the beauty of its idea. There is an electrifying
Speaker 1: moment that occurs in an instant when a human being
Speaker 1: is transformed with their hand in the air, through the
Speaker 1: power of an oath of obligation and loyalty made freely
Speaker 1: of their own free will to the Constitution of the
Speaker 1: United States of America. When a citizenship ceremony occurs, people
Speaker 1: from all around the world, gather in a room, raise
Speaker 1: their hand, and swear a short oath of allegiance to
Speaker 1: the greatest idea in the history of civilization, the idea
Speaker 1: that a free people who were born free of a king,
Speaker 1: an emperor, or a dictator, have the capacity in liberty
Speaker 1: to govern themselves through great struggle and sacrifice and blood, terrible, terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible episodes of brutality, great chapters of redemption. America is
Speaker 1: renewed in an instant, when the electric cord that connects
Speaker 1: us all is recharged. In a nanosecond, at the completion
Speaker 1: of an oath, people from all around the world, from Mexico,
Speaker 1: from Africa, from all the countries of Asia, from India,
Speaker 1: from Europe, from South Pacific Islands and China become Americans.
Speaker 1: They become citizens, and in that moment their citizenship is
Speaker 1: as durable and permanent and meaningful as that citizenship that
Speaker 1: belongs to the most entitled and the most privileged amongst us,
Speaker 1: including the descendants of the Mayflower and George Washington's command staff.
Speaker 1: Each citizen is equal, Each citizen stands apart as an individual,
Speaker 1: and their contribution is measured on their contribution, not their
Speaker 1: ancestry in the United States. This is what Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to understand as he grasps onto one of
Speaker 1: the most fundamentally v gurulent philosophies and un American sentiments
Speaker 1: that exist. It is the gospel of fascism that holds
Speaker 1: that the state should be more powerful than the human being.
Speaker 1: Understand something, and this is very important. Democracy keeps you
Speaker 1: safe because it is the only system of government ever
Speaker 1: designed by the mind of man in all the history
Speaker 1: of the world that places the human being above the
Speaker 1: power of the state. That government of the people, by
Speaker 1: the people, for the people is the lynch pen not
Speaker 1: just to freedom, but to life in the pursuit of
Speaker 1: happiness on Earth. It stands at the center of a
Speaker 1: ring of great and powerful free nations. Norway and Sweden
Speaker 1: and Finland, Lithuania, Lafia and Estonia, Germany and France and
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom Greece. All of these countries and many
Speaker 1: more celebrate an idea that is opposed by Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: and his master Vladimir Putin. And thus the world stands
Speaker 1: at the edge again of a great choice, in an
Speaker 1: enduring struggle between a proposition that divides the world between
Speaker 1: slavery and liberty. Why it is that a man so rich,
Speaker 1: so famous as Tucker Carlson would turn against his country,
Speaker 1: would celebrate its divisions, would aggrandize an evil, murdering dictator,
Speaker 1: is beyond comprehension, but also not that important. The question
Speaker 1: at hand for all American citizens of good faith who
Speaker 1: love this country understand its idea, is to appreciate that,
Speaker 1: eighty years after the world stood over the abyss, at
Speaker 1: the dawn of the age where human beings possess the
Speaker 1: power of human extinction, that we have arrived back at
Speaker 1: an hour of danger, having lost our memory for the
Speaker 1: meaning of freedom. Within the human lifespan of the people
Speaker 1: who improbably survived its darkest chapter. It is incomprehensible and
Speaker 1: unfathomable in the same instant that it is utterly recognizable again,
Speaker 1: as if in some sort of cosmic play drifting in
Speaker 1: the current humanity has arrived around the world at the
Speaker 1: edge of a war that nobody seems to see coming
Speaker 1: except for the people who are committed to waging it aggressively.
Speaker 1: Lake Vladimir Putin and his toadies like Tucker Carlson. This
Speaker 1: is a serious moment and a dangerous one. It requires
Speaker 1: your participation, it requires your citizenship, and it requires your rejection,
Speaker 1: fully and absolutely of the dogmas of hate and division
Speaker 1: that are spread and that are incited by low men
Speaker 1: and disloyal Americans like Tucker Carlson. Thank you for listening
