As a non-American, this stuff scares me. This is straight up fascism. "My country is worth more than my social value" could very easily become "My country is worth more than my life".
America is definitely an exceptional country, in that such gaudy nationalistic rallies would be considered worrying or at the very least strange in the rest of the western world. You don't see Argentines, Dutch or Canadians doing stuff like this.

It's almost as if, and bear with me... they're sociopaths who think the peasants aren't people and they're the only real humans, while everyone else is just dumb animals or something.
so very true. I'm a gay person, and when I came out (this was ages ago, I'm fine now) my parents kicked me out onto the street, and told me to my face they didn't care if I died of AIDS in the gutter before also accusing me of molesting my younger sister. I have zero obligation to be supportive of monsters like them. Not every family is deserving of your support and respect.
Exactly! Literally after being homeless for a smaller duration of time than others (I had a job during that period im incredibly grateful for that), it bothers me when people say "we need to teach kids to be appreciative". If you want them to be appreciative first make them want to help others. See how our country effects people world wide, and most of all teach them that their future can be better if everyone takes a stand now. I learned to be grateful purly because I don't live the ideal life in America. And thats fine! I'm grateful to be where I am today, and I want everyone to have the capabilities that I had, and hell, I want them to be in a better situation thats for sure!
@@logichaver5642 How about you raise your kids right so you earn gratitude? It's not a binary, gratitude is a virtue, but they need something to be ACTUALLY grateful for.
@@logichaver5642 children can learn to be grateful if they see and understand what theirs in lives could have been under different circumstances (assuming their lives are ideal to begin with.) This can be achieved though acts of charity and learning about the lives of other people in the world, or even just neighboring communities. That's how I leaned, anyway.
@@logichaver5642 I think you missed my point. My point was you can't 'teach' people to be grateful the same way yu can't 'teach' them to be happy. Those things come from within, and they are good. But the only way you can make someone happy or grateful is to actually do things that make them so. Also I feel you're conflating being grateful with being polite. Those aren't the same thing. You can teach people manners, you can teach people to say 'thank you' and smile more if you want, but that's just the outside appearance, that doesn't speak to inner psychology.
I need to add this same argument was used for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Saddam Hussein was a stupid weak guy who couldn't hide his nuke program, and the most dangerous and diabolical enemy of the US.
First off, he is absolutely on a moderate dose of either amphetamine or cocaine, secondly I cant believe no one noticed, Teddy Roosevelt wasn't killed by an anarchist, that was william McKinely
"Never before have we seen a government so disconnected from the people" You had a billionaire in charge for the last four years man, what do you mean?!
The really messed up thing about Tucker is that he was born with effectively infinite money, and still he decided to be a conservative shill. He could have done anything, and he chose this. He should he having a breakdown.
Yeah, I could almost get it for someone who needed the money. A very cynical part of me (which is thankfully outweighed by my moral compass) has considered becoming a conservative grifter because it would be so easy as long as you can lie with a straight face. You don't have to do research, find sources, think logically about your arguments, and you can make loads of money. But he basically didnt have to work a day in his life if he didnt want to. And he still wants to do all this damage.
His dad was on the board of Voice of America. The Carlsons have been neocons for a long time. They aren't even really the Carlsons, his dad was adopted and his bio family has a tragic backstory. Tucker's life could seriously be a Netflix series, it's so complicated.
Honestly it feels like the aging man who believes in nothing and just says whatever he’s paid to say might be starting to have an existential crisis over how his legacy will be nothing but the incomprehensible amounts of suffering and destruction his political advocacy has caused, all for the sake of money, when he was already financially set for life from birth
What drives me absolutely bonkers about Tucker is that he has a habit of saying "it's true" over and over in his diatribes. Stuff like "nobody ever talks about it, but it's true" and doesn't ever back it up. I think it's a technique he uses.
9:07 - Excuse me, Charlie. Literally Germany's highest and first constitutional law: "Human dignity is sacrosanct". I mean he's obviously immediately wrong conceptually, but also... literally.
and because the german constitution was literally conceptualized to counter the Nazis’ worldview it‘s actually very reasonable to say the BRD was literally founded “on that principle“, instead of founded “with that principle at its center“. The USA was founded on the principle of democracy, if anything, since it was their issues with the british monarchy and lack of democratic representation that made them rebel, right? I think its pretty clear just by looking at how long slavery was widely spread in the US that “everyone has dignity“ was not much of a concern at the country’s founding.
-Side note, from what I've read of the- -man, the current leader of Germany- -seems like a pretty cool dude.- Edit: "From what I've read" carries a hell of a lot of weight here, from all the replies I've gotten from someone else :P
@@derdurstbursch Yeah I'm obviously not from Germany so I'm not the most informed lol but he didn't seem like a mentally unstable neofascist at least, which seems to be the case for like every other world leader out there at the moment
It's true. I live in Germany and we're actually not allowed to start families here. Whenever I try to have the naughties with my girlfriend, state agents burst in the door and yell "YOU BETTER BE WEARING A CONDOM!"
No way. I did a shitty ass version of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six to my English class having not read a lick of it and it was far better than this. You have to be clapped out of your head to do this badly. That was a pure, unfiltered, confused meltdown.
This perfectly sums up tucker's speech. He said absolutely nothing and ramble for 30 plus minutes. Verse Charlie Kirck who contradict ever topic in his own speech.
I love how Kirk goes on a 60-second tirade about civic pride and valuing your country over purely ego driven pursuits, but then 180's to how awful it was to be asked to wear masks in public to combat a global pandemic.
I snorted at him gesturing to "the greater good," because conservatives have made it very clear that they're actively hostile to the idea of a shared society and having to be part of it.
Tucker spends several minutes mocking anyone would would choose to live in a city instead of isolating in a cabin in the woods like the unabomber and then moments later he’s waxing poetic about the vital importance of community to the human experience.
@@bovinejoni4243 , I'd liken it to an alcoholic lamenting about the advanced state of their liver disease, and it's a quintessentially American bind---people struggle to free themselves from all social-emotional entanglements, obligations, and inconveniences, and then they wonder why they feel so lonely and isolated.
@@bovinejoni4243 Indeed. The person who said something to the effect of "true intelligence is being able to entertain two contradictory thoughts at once in one's own mind" never met anything like the modern American conservative. Cognitive dissonance doesn't even begin to describe this phenomena.
Felt compelled to chime in with this as a music nerd and a big Jimi Hendrix fan. I found the opening rendition of the star spangled banner to be not only the most ghoulishly vapid faceplant of an attempt at the song ever committed to record, but one that draws from the very genesis of the trope of blasting the star spangled banner through an overdriven amp in a way that perfectly exemplifies the cultural critique Jimi Hendrix was raising against the blood soaked history of the US when he belted it out through his wild approach to guitar and the many sounds he could coax out of his Marshalls using controlled feedback to a crowd of thousands at Woodstock in 1969. It symbolized the triumphant visage of patriotism and nationalistic fervor that is the anthem battling for control of the focus of the song as the tune itself is gradually drowned out by the whistle in the skies as bombs descend followed by their earth shattering explosions, mortars and tank shells scoring the hills, machine gun fire tearing through cities and the screams of wounded soldiers and civilians as this chaos and destruction disintegrates everything around them. This was unmistakably a direct indictment of the mindless adulation of American exceptionalism and jingoistic callousness that has been the bedrock of conservatism since time immemorial and the continued co opting of that exceptionally clever and brilliantly executed critique by hogs who think Jimi in any way agreed with them triggers the shit out of me. There is nothing (in my opinion) that could with such visceral elagance better illustrate this vacuous, self congratulatory patriotism circlejerk for what it really is: a shriveled, crusty, dried out, peeling bandaid barely covering even part of the massive infected gash beneath it while a herd of old white robber barons, senators, and tycoons of industry jostle around each other desperately trying to flatten out it's curling edges in an attempt to stretch it out as far as possible using random shit they find lying around. Perhaps a two month old piece of scotch tape that was sitting under a fridge, and the heat from the exhaust of the fridge caused the tape to lose almost all of its adhesiveness and now it's covered in tiny dirt particles and stray rodent hairs. You get it. The metaphor is getting a little.. off the rails. Anyway. Jimi was pretty antithetical to conservative values in a lot of ways. He was an avid anti war advocate. He sympathized with leftist causes (more prominently after MLK's assasination) and groups (notably the Black Panthers). And was even on FBI watchlists which in the sixties likely meant you were based+leftpilled. This trope of Jimi's message and legacy being whitewashed and sanitized for the convenient consumption of fragile white dipshit conservative pundit watchers is insane to me. But it's yet another instance of conservatives not only missing the point, but literally twisting every point ever made by anyone about anything into something that reinforces their worldview. Weird rant over. (I'm a huge Jimi fan but also really integrated into left RUclips spaces so I wanted to jump on the opportunity to wax a bit dramatically about some of my favorite subjects, even if in this case they only tangentially intersected. To my fellow music nerd lefties out there, I love ya, thanks for taking the time to read my comment lol.)
This is the reason why we need people to continue to push the line in music, cause every time we start to have a more cultural acceptance toward certain styles, they become appropriated by the conservatives as you can tell by that intro Cause 10 years ago, conservatives would’ve called you degenerate if you attempted to play the music that was played now. We definitely need more art now that causes the same effect and makes them mald cause I can’t stand to cringe another year. They need something done with a guitar so dirty that they basically can’t appropriate Hendrix anymore
@@Ryan_Wiseman while I agree, the problem for me is that I actually see that happening - art that greatly angers rightoids - but don't find any joy in said art beyond the reaction it draws from conservatives.

@@Ryan_Wiseman my point simply being that I don't personally enjoy things like the she-ra reboot that much. I do appreciate it pushing the line for future generations, just bores the fuck out of me.

"Only in America can an 18-year-old create something from nothing in a small garage in Lemont, Illinois." Really, Charlie? You can't be in Illinois in Australia? I wonder why that is.
They dont have garages? Until I moved to Canada, I never realized how the rest of the world, even wealthy, developed, capitalist countries, dont exist and are never relevant to any discussion.
The “we need more gratefulness” segment is literally fucking gaslighting. Basically telling people “don’t think critically! Just be grateful for what you have!” Essentially telling people they should never question authority after telling his audience that questioning authority is the most American thing you can do. “Question them not us!”
I was raised evangelical and I think my church growing up is Charlie Kirk’s exact target audience. It comes off more like a sermon than a political speech. “We know the Truth that this sinful fallen world doesn’t want to hear and we must stand up for what we believe in despite our persecution.”
I have to say, I'm genuinely angry with myself for ever thinking this guy could be president. Sure, all presidents are a bit deranged, but I've never seen a man more visibly on the verge of a psychotic break than Tucker.
Well, you shouldnt be. He COULD be president: we've been shown that a cult of personality will bring even someone that wasnt 100% supported by the old guard in the GOP to the White House, so... yeah, Tucker has the makings. He has the money, he has the support, and he's the kind of deranged lunatic conservatives love. He wouldnt even have to try hard.
The cognitive dissonance of conservatives complaining about plutocrats while opening their convention with a Reagan speech is jarring. Who do you think started that whole mess to begin with? EDIT: this whole event is dictionary cognitive dissonance
I'm not American, so I don't get it. Why was Reagan so bad? I hear a lot of my American friends say that he was popular or their favourite president... so I'm confused
He’s only popular because of propaganda and both parties becoming neoliberal through his administration. He helped funded death squads and right wing forces in Central America. He destroyed many regulations that protected consumers and he constantly attacked labor unions and increased the scope of the war on drugs. Only ignorant people like him and the US is full to the brim with politically ignorant people.
Omg I just realized that as a Canadian, I must have accidentally started an illegal family when I had a baby! I forgot to file for pregnancy permission from the govt 😱
I've never felt that it was more obvious that entertainment, hype and aesthetic are the most important aspects of conservative political events. Conservatives are incredibly dedicated to their "cause," even if they don't know what it is. Can't let the Commies take over! Football politics.
According to George Lakoff (if I remember correctly), nowadays rightwingers tend to more often have studied communication/PR while leftwingers tend to have more social science/politics... Or to say it differently, one camp concentrate on obtaining the power, the other on what to use that power to be useful to the community.. Also worthy of interest: "Corruptible" by Brian Klaas, about power, who wants it, why & all that.. haven't read it yet but his interviews are interesting..
@@laurentsaint-laurent3659 , Lakoff is required reading! His Strict Father/Nurturing Father Model was a real lightbulb for me when it came to understanding conservatives vs. liberals. Also, that the right-wingers study PR while the left-wingers study Nerd Stuff also explains why the Left has historically been so clunky, overly-earnest, and overly-intellectual in its rhetoric, while the Right is very good at using rhetoric to get people riled up.
52 years later and I'm beginning to suspect that conservatives may not have fully appreciated what Hendrix was going for when he covered the US national anthem and made the music sound like a combat zone in Vietnam.
The same absolute psychosis that led to a generation of films blasting Fortunate Son over "badass" scenes of U.S. soldiers blowing shit up and shooting bad guys

@@thewhitefalcon8539 I misunderstood your meaning I think, originally I thought you were doing a "f*ck around and find out" defense of the right winger saying his party is the adults in the room...but seeing your point was more about them resorting to physical intimidation, yes, that is absolutely essential to the right wing fascist model...which is why its so absurd to think of them as adults, who want you to be scared of them getting violent...mostly though I didn't laugh to his face because I was trying to engage with him on what he meant by that, which he could not explain, later I found out he's the owner of the bar I was in, so I'm kinda glad I didn't do something, they got good wings there. lol
WOW. I almost didn't watch this video because I thought that Tucker Carlson is too smart to have a breakdown in public. BUT, you're right, Vaush. This is a total nervous breakdown. It's incredible, and insane. The stream of consciousness is wild. Nothing makes any sense, and he is defiinitely a mess. Glad I watched this. Makes me feel better, and allows me to see what he does going forward in a new light. He's a broken man cause he lies for a living, and he can't escape it. Def needs therapy.
God the Conservative aesthetic is painful - overwrought electric guitar solo of the Stars and Stripes, Reagan quote over historical figures whooshing at you, "U-S-A" chant backed by a trap beat. It's so weird and all over the place, pick one of these and run with it - this isn't even just a TPUSA thing, every Con event is like a 30 car pileup of different intros and "epic" "hype" music. It's like they're trying to appeal to multiple generations of chud and they throw everything into a blender. We get the slurry poured out all over our eyes.
TO BE FAIR Jimi Hendrix ‘Star Spangled Banner’ has historical merit. I can imagine the GOP of the late 60’s likely condemned it (how dare these hippies defile our anthem). Wouldn’t surprise me if they went on to claim ‘Jimi would have been a Republican.’
@@Bmanritchie What’s funny is that when he did it, it was done in protest of the US since his guitar riffs were meant to try and sound like bombs being dropped
"All that matters is your family, your friends, and your coworkers. People in your 'community' who you don't know and only share one thing in common with shouldn't be your concern." Tucker said at TPUSA AmericaFest, the event for a conservative community that Charlie bragged about having people being from all 50 different states and different walks of life and that wants everyone there who doesn't know each other to get together and bond over being conservatives.
the "we are a nation with Alzheimer's" is actually more accurate that charlie realizes. Charlie and people like him like to conveniently forget everything that's happened since our nation's founding. Just like a person with Alzheimer's really only remember their earliest memories.
So glad that they started the show with strobe lights, instantly killing anyone who's photosensitive. THAT'S the America that librolls don't want you to have.
"Online friends aren't real" is the boomer take I've been hearing since I was a child. Well, guess what? I have had amazing online friends. Yes, the connections are different and in some ways harder to maintain without in-person interaction. Also, I generally prefer in person interaction. But our society is so damn atomized that that isn't an option for all of us. So we take what we can get in both spheres. If you didn't want people to turn to online friends so much, you shouldn't have let society become so atomized that many adults barely have two good friends.
Not to think of what the internet has done for sexual and cultural minorities that usually ends up leaving the highly praised tightly-knit/ socially controlled small town communities because they don't feel they fit in or straight out fleeing ostracism.
@@scipioafricanus5871 Yeah, the number of LGBT+ kids who come on to reddit or RUclips communities looking for acceptance that they dont get at home is depressing. But I would rather us have that than nothing.
So, they opened the conference with a clear copy of Jimi Hendrix's redition of the national anthem. Just...without the parts where Hendrix made the guitar sound like missile batteries, sirens, shrieking people...all the things that turned what could have been a disastrous Woodstock set into one of the greatest protest songs in American history. In other words, they took true art and turned into something bland and derivative. Color me very not surprised.
wait, unironically, this is great, he's actually talking about stuff he cares about. i genuinely think he's not grifting here, hes panicking, and his deep values are actually coming out. this is what we should be debating. this is what we should discuss. not... what was it, pregnancy flight suits? he said it himself he thinks the discourse is ridiculous, we should be talking about the stuff that matters. he gets paid to ruin discourse, so he'll keep doing it, but this speech is infinitely more valuable than most of his entire career. this single speech should be dissected over hundreds of videos, not because its some work of genius, on the contrary, its specifically because its baseline.
I suffer from chronic stage fright, and when I look at him he really seems like he's having an anxiety attack on stage and is just grasping for the closest, even remotely relatable things he can think of to stave off that dread silence.
The flight suit thing is beautiful because he frames it as something we shouldn’t be “arguing” about, but, like...it’s not an argument? Nobody is *arguing* about pregnancy flight suits. It’s just a thing that happened with barely a shrug from the left while conservatives dutifully farmed it for outrage bait. It is the perfect example of how people like Tucker poison the discourse by manufacturing the most meaningless culture war nonsense. He, specifically, is the person who sparked discussion of the subject by doing an incendiary segment in which he called women in the military a mockery.
@@bovinejoni4243 I also believe the rollout of the flight suits happened under the Trump administration, so it is even funnier that they are choosing to take issue with it now.
I totally and completely agree with you. This is letting us see under the hood of Tucker Carlson and, potentially, conservatism in general. That's why I'm back here. Unfortunately, some people are more committed to getting off their rage boners than actually trying to understand the motivations of their opponents. Personally, I also find certain intra-conservative debates to be useful, though less so than this. Blaire White's argument with Ben Shapiro shows a good methods for working around the conservative ego, forged in the fires of her tokenism. In InfraRed's argument with Hake, he repurposes conservative rhetoric in ways I would never have thought of, during his perpetual retreat. Maybe check them out with fresh eyes when you're in the mood.
He goes on and on about how the government sucks and then immediately after suggests conservatives should put their country before their social lives lmao. Imagine not being able to recognize that you're being lied to that blatantly, the longer you listen the more he contradicts himself.
51:20 Tucker is exactly right if you think about defunding the police for 15 seconds you think it's stupid and if you think about it for any longer than that you realize it actually makes sense
Kirk's college debt section is the perfect example of conversatism. Deny there's a problem until its undeniable and then say "oh my god why haven't we been trying to fix it" but make out like its really new and throw in current topics as the reason why its a problem. Cause as we all know student debt has only been a 2020 to now issue thanks to covid and lockdowns.
@@musicdev Ive imagined how worst-case scenario, when the tornados destroy rural america that conservatives will start crying for government assistance. It will be invigorating
Tucker Carlson being brought on to stage with high energy Trap/EDM music is hilarious. Everything else about this makes me want to scream. Next they should bring Shapiro out to a classic hip-hop song, the diverse and incredible genre which he insists is literally not music/art.
I'm really salty over the early 'it's patriotic to question your leaders' statement in blatent defiance that they spent 2016-2020 screaming 'HOW DARE YOU QUESTION DADDY TRUMP'
He was sued for lying of Covid. Many Fox old-timers resigned because they can't stand his integrity anymore. Fox owners only see him as a puppet. And some may forget, he was revealed to be the leak (rat) for many of Trump private conversations meaning that while he bring loads of fans to the the cult, he might not be no longer welcome in their inner circle. It seem that a majority of the speech is him trying to shirk his responsibilities to his loyal viewerbase because he do not know them personally. Like defending his life against some critics.
OK Charlie desperately trying to convince the audience that it's actually a good thing that their ideas are so unpopular and toxic that nobody wants to associate with them was funny as shit
Only conservatives can put on a show this huge with this high of a budget and broadcast it all around the internet and simultaneously complain about free speech and censorship.
IT’S BEAUTIFUL, let him crumble and realize that he’s not happy. That’s a first step to listening to the world having real problems that are even out of his control. No no, this crisis is a first step… it’s good. Let it happen. If someone’s having a crisis, telling them it’s a crisis doesn’t allow them to learn into what they’re really saying half the time.

It is really rich for Charlie Kirk to be saying how we are living in the last gasp for freedom gotten for us by WW2 soldiers, while also running a media company that keeps "accidentally" hiring Holocaust Deniers.
Tucker's speech was one of the most disturbing things I've seen in my lifetime. Granted, I'm only in my early 20's but, wow. Words can't describe how deeply unsettling and troubling it is to see a guy like this have a platform. This country is in big big trouble...
It's not like he's in office. Old people watch him on fox. Oh wait. Matt Gaetz, MTG and Lauren Boehlert are in office and they're dumber and crazier than Tucker....you're right. We're screwed.
Yes. He was pushing replacement theory for a large portion of it. This was beyond unsettling to say the least. I’m glad you picked up on it as well. This is going to be studied in the future I’m sure.
I wouldn't think much of it if it wasn't this, friggin', LONG! I feel myself aging listening to him. I had to pause this, pick up my snow shoes, hydration and frontal lamp, get lost in the snowy field for an hour, run out of battery, damage my pole to try to unjam it, go home, unpause the video, laugh at this man's ramblings for an additional 30 minutes, and almost bailed out of the video! Still, I made it! 👍
The disturbing part is listening to a middle aged public speaker handle an existential crisis worse than I did as a teenager. I already knew the world was fucked by then, the fact that people this crazy hold political power doesn't surprise me anymore.
Honestly it feels like the aging man who believes in nothing and just says whatever he’s paid to say might be starting to have an existential crisis over how his legacy will be nothing but the incomprehensible amounts of suffering and destruction his political advocacy has caused, all for the sake of money, when he was already financially set for life from birth
The amount of cult language, and behavior in this one event, actually makes me think they'll eventually start a civil war, and try to yet again take part of the country out of the USA (And hopefully the results will be the same)
i have a feeling that tucker's speech was a live battle within himself, every time he started going on about how he hates modern society and the problems created by capitalism his other side of the brain kicks in and tells him to change subject because his audience likes capitalism, but then 3 sentences later he starts dozing off and begins to realize how much pain he feels.

“There are more important things than making money!” he said to a room full of people who paid to attend an event for his company that does nothing significant ~for the people.
“...and soon I’ll be selling a mug” was my favorite bit from Tuck. At its core, the American conservative movement could realistically be described as one big side show performed to gather a crowd of rubes to whom novelty mugs can be sold.
watching Tucker Carlson talk was the equivalent of getting buzzed at Christmas and listening to your uncle go off about how profound Jordan Peterson is
I just realized that “Turning points” soumds an awful lot like a eupamism for “Axis.” To TPUSA basically means “Axis USA.” As though we needed any more reason to think they were fashy.
I’ve seen the TPUSA kids on my college campus. They are extremely wack. I literally just walked up to them, called them cringe, and left. Best part of my day.

Fun Arizona time zone factoid... Arizona doesn't do Daylight Savings Time, but the Diné Rez does. It's a fairly large reservation, takes up a corner of the state and goes into New Mexico, and in the middle of the Diné Rez is the much smaller Hopi Rez, and it does NOT do DST. So it's like a doughnut of Daylight Savings Time on a map of time zones. On the very small Hopi Rez is an internationally famous and renowned Raggae venue called Hopi Lands. I just think it's pretty great that little kids in Kingston dream about playing music someday at a venue in this tiny amazing community.

Tucker has been critical of materialism on his show before and it's a thing he mentions semi-frequently. He points out that materialism (and by extension, capitalism) don't make anybody happy. His solution to that is faith, family, flag, because he doesn't want to acknowledge that capitalism cannot co-exist with those things forever because they get in the way of profit. And, as he said himself "If something can't continue forever, it won't". He blames the left for it all going away. He's either deeply confused, or misdirecting the alienation of the public towards the left rather than admit the problem is capital.
In place of materialism, you mean consumerism? I know it's petty point to make, but I've had Cons confuse the two aforementioned 'isms' just run with it. God, it gets on my nerves. XD Tucker does the same, maybe.

The really messed up thing about Tucker is that he was born with effectively infinite money, and still he decided to be a conservative shill. He could have done anything, and he chose this. He should he having a breakdown.
Yeah, I could almost get it for someone who needed the money. A very cynical part of me (which is thankfully outweighed by my moral compass) has considered becoming a conservative grifter because it would be so easy as long as you can lie with a straight face. You don't have to do research, find sources, think logically about your arguments, and you can make loads of money.
But he basically didnt have to work a day in his life if he didnt want to. And he still wants to do all this damage.
He sounds unstable and for someone with so many questions, he has nothing to offer as answers.
His dad was on the board of Voice of America. The Carlsons have been neocons for a long time. They aren't even really the Carlsons, his dad was adopted and his bio family has a tragic backstory. Tucker's life could seriously be a Netflix series, it's so complicated.

What drives me absolutely bonkers about Tucker is that he has a habit of saying "it's true" over and over in his diatribes. Stuff like "nobody ever talks about it, but it's true" and doesn't ever back it up. I think it's a technique he uses.
9:07 - Excuse me, Charlie. Literally Germany's highest and first constitutional law: "Human dignity is sacrosanct". I mean he's obviously immediately wrong conceptually, but also... literally.

and because the german constitution was literally conceptualized to counter the Nazis’ worldview it‘s actually very reasonable to say the BRD was literally founded “on that principle“, instead of founded “with that principle at its center“.
The USA was founded on the principle of democracy, if anything, since it was their issues with the british monarchy and lack of democratic representation that made them rebel, right?

Felt compelled to chime in with this as a music nerd and a big Jimi Hendrix fan.
I found the opening rendition of the star spangled banner to be not only the most ghoulishly vapid faceplant of an attempt at the song ever committed to record, but one that draws from the very genesis of the trope of blasting the star spangled banner through an overdriven amp in a way that perfectly exemplifies the cultural critique Jimi Hendrix was raising against the blood soaked history of the US when he belted it out through his wild approach to guitar and the many sounds he could coax out of his Marshalls using controlled feedback to a crowd of thousands at Woodstock in 1969.
It symbolized the triumphant visage of patriotism and nationalistic fervor that is the anthem battling for control of the focus of the song as the tune itself is gradually drowned out by the whistle in the skies as bombs descend followed by their earth shattering explosions, mortars and tank shells scoring the hills, machine gun fire tearing through cities and the screams of wounded soldiers and civilians as this chaos and destruction disintegrates everything around them.
This was unmistakably a direct indictment of the mindless adulation of American exceptionalism and jingoistic callousness that has been the bedrock of conservatism since time immemorial and the continued co opting of that exceptionally clever and brilliantly executed critique by hogs who think Jimi in any way agreed with them triggers the shit out of me.
There is nothing (in my opinion) that could with such visceral elagance better illustrate this vacuous, self congratulatory patriotism circlejerk for what it really is:
a shriveled, crusty, dried out, peeling bandaid barely covering even part of the massive infected gash beneath it while a herd of old white robber barons, senators, and tycoons of industry jostle around each other desperately trying to flatten out it's curling edges in an attempt to stretch it out as far as possible using random shit they find lying around.
Perhaps a two month old piece of scotch tape that was sitting under a fridge, and the heat from the exhaust of the fridge caused the tape to lose almost all of its adhesiveness and now it's covered in tiny dirt particles and stray rodent hairs.
You get it.
The metaphor is getting a little.. off the rails.
Anyway.
Jimi was pretty antithetical to conservative values in a lot of ways. He was an avid anti war advocate. He sympathized with leftist causes (more prominently after MLK's assasination) and groups (notably the Black Panthers). And was even on FBI watchlists which in the sixties likely meant you were based+leftpilled. This trope of Jimi's message and legacy being whitewashed and sanitized for the convenient consumption of fragile white dipshit conservative pundit watchers is insane to me. But it's yet another instance of conservatives not only missing the point, but literally twisting every point ever made by anyone about anything into something that reinforces their worldview.
Weird rant over.
(I'm a huge Jimi fan but also really integrated into left RUclips spaces so I wanted to jump on the opportunity to wax a bit dramatically about some of my favorite subjects, even if in this case they only tangentially intersected. To my fellow music nerd lefties out there, I love ya, thanks for taking the time to read my comment lol.)
This is the reason why we need people to continue to push the line in music, cause every time we start to have a more cultural acceptance toward certain styles, they become appropriated by the conservatives as you can tell by that intro

"All that matters is your family, your friends, and your coworkers. People in your 'community' who you don't know and only share one thing in common with shouldn't be your concern." Tucker said at TPUSA AmericaFest, the event for a conservative community that Charlie bragged about having people being from all 50 different states and different walks of life and that wants everyone there who doesn't know each other to get together and bond over being conservatives.
the "we are a nation with Alzheimer's" is actually more accurate that charlie realizes. Charlie and people like him like to conveniently forget everything that's happened since our nation's founding. Just like a person with Alzheimer's really only remember their earliest memories.

I’m so grateful Vaush covers these. I would never be able to get through this without him, and even still it’s incredibly difficult.
Idek if I can get through this with him. Itit's just so damn cringey right off the bat.
So well said. I need him to even attempt to get past the cringe.
"Online friends aren't real" is the boomer take I've been hearing since I was a child. Well, guess what? I have had amazing online friends. Yes, the connections are different and in some ways harder to maintain without in-person interaction. Also, I generally prefer in person interaction. But our society is so damn atomized that that isn't an option for all of us. So we take what we can get in both spheres. If you didn't want people to turn to online friends so much, you shouldn't have let society become so atomized that many adults barely have two good friends.
Not to think of what the internet has done for sexual and cultural minorities that usually ends up leaving the highly praised tightly-knit/ socially controlled small town communities because they don't feel they fit in or straight out fleeing ostracism.
@@scipioafricanus5871 Yeah, the number of LGBT+ kids who come on to reddit or RUclips communities looking for acceptance that they dont get at home is depressing. But I would rather us have that than nothing.
So, they opened the conference with a clear copy of Jimi Hendrix's redition of the national anthem. Just...without the parts where Hendrix made the guitar sound like missile batteries, sirens, shrieking people...all the things that turned what could have been a disastrous Woodstock set into one of the greatest protest songs in American history.
In other words, they took true art and turned into something bland and derivative. Color me very not surprised.
wait, unironically, this is great, he's actually talking about stuff he cares about. i genuinely think he's not grifting here, hes panicking, and his deep values are actually coming out. this is what we should be debating. this is what we should discuss. not... what was it, pregnancy flight suits? he said it himself he thinks the discourse is ridiculous, we should be talking about the stuff that matters. he gets paid to ruin discourse, so he'll keep doing it, but this speech is infinitely more valuable than most of his entire career.
this single speech should be dissected over hundreds of videos, not because its some work of genius, on the contrary, its specifically because its baseline.
I suffer from chronic stage fright, and when I look at him he really seems like he's having an anxiety attack on stage and is just grasping for the closest, even remotely relatable things he can think of to stave off that dread silence.
The flight suit thing is beautiful because he frames it as something we shouldn’t be “arguing” about, but, like...it’s not an argument? Nobody is *arguing* about pregnancy flight suits. It’s just a thing that happened with barely a shrug from the left while conservatives dutifully farmed it for outrage bait. It is the perfect example of how people like Tucker poison the discourse by manufacturing the most meaningless culture war nonsense. He, specifically, is the person who sparked discussion of the subject by doing an incendiary segment in which he called women in the military a mockery.
@@bovinejoni4243 I also believe the rollout of the flight suits happened under the Trump administration, so it is even funnier that they are choosing to take issue with it now.
I totally and completely agree with you. This is letting us see under the hood of Tucker Carlson and, potentially, conservatism in general. That's why I'm back here. Unfortunately, some people are more committed to getting off their rage boners than actually trying to understand the motivations of their opponents.
Personally, I also find certain intra-conservative debates to be useful, though less so than this. Blaire White's argument with Ben Shapiro shows a good methods for working around the conservative ego, forged in the fires of her tokenism. In InfraRed's argument with Hake, he repurposes conservative rhetoric in ways I would never have thought of, during his perpetual retreat. Maybe check them out with fresh eyes when you're in the mood.

He goes on and on about how the government sucks and then immediately after suggests conservatives should put their country before their social lives lmao. Imagine not being able to recognize that you're being lied to that blatantly, the longer you listen the more he contradicts himself.

If you want to make conservatives looks like contradictory idiots, just let them talk for a few seconds.

Wow! Tucker’s speech was pure projection of his own fears and worries. Someone check on his family and see if everyone is ok.
I find it amusing that Charlie spent 10 minutes railing about how undangerous the Corona Virus is then eulogises his boss who died of the Corona Virus
I'm really salty over the early 'it's patriotic to question your leaders' statement in blatent defiance that they spent 2016-2020 screaming 'HOW DARE YOU QUESTION DADDY TRUMP'

@@stann8032 I hope so
He was sued for lying of Covid. Many Fox old-timers resigned because they can't stand his integrity anymore. Fox owners only see him as a puppet. And some may forget, he was revealed to be the leak (rat) for many of Trump private conversations meaning that while he bring loads of fans to the the cult, he might not be no longer welcome in their inner circle. It seem that a majority of the speech is him trying to shirk his responsibilities to his loyal viewerbase because he do not know them personally. Like defending his life against some critics.

OK Charlie desperately trying to convince the audience that it's actually a good thing that their ideas are so unpopular and toxic that nobody wants to associate with them was funny as shit
Only conservatives can put on a show this huge with this high of a budget and broadcast it all around the internet and simultaneously complain about free speech and censorship.

It is really rich for Charlie Kirk to be saying how we are living in the last gasp for freedom gotten for us by WW2 soldiers, while also running a media company that keeps "accidentally" hiring Holocaust Deniers.

Tucker's speech was one of the most disturbing things I've seen in my lifetime. Granted, I'm only in my early 20's but, wow. Words can't describe how deeply unsettling and troubling it is to see a guy like this have a platform. This country is in big big trouble...
It's not like he's in office. Old people watch him on fox. Oh wait. Matt Gaetz, MTG and Lauren Boehlert are in office and they're dumber and crazier than Tucker....you're right. We're screwed.
Yes. He was pushing replacement theory for a large portion of it. This was beyond unsettling to say the least. I’m glad you picked up on it as well. This is going to be studied in the future I’m sure.
I wouldn't think much of it if it wasn't this, friggin', LONG! I feel myself aging listening to him. I had to pause this, pick up my snow shoes, hydration and frontal lamp, get lost in the snowy field for an hour, run out of battery, damage my pole to try to unjam it, go home, unpause the video, laugh at this man's ramblings for an additional 30 minutes, and almost bailed out of the video!
Still, I made it! 👍
The disturbing part is listening to a middle aged public speaker handle an existential crisis worse than I did as a teenager.
I already knew the world was fucked by then, the fact that people this crazy hold political power doesn't surprise me anymore.
Honestly it feels like the aging man who believes in nothing and just says whatever he’s paid to say might be starting to have an existential crisis over how his legacy will be nothing but the incomprehensible amounts of suffering and destruction his political advocacy has caused, all for the sake of money, when he was already financially set for life from birth
The amount of cult language, and behavior in this one event, actually makes me think they'll eventually start a civil war, and try to yet again take part of the country out of the USA (And hopefully the results will be the same)
Tucker Carlson describes himself as a "Pretty mainstream conservative person"
There you go. Carlson admits that fascism is conservative mainstream.
i have a feeling that tucker's speech was a live battle within himself, every time he started going on about how he hates modern society and the problems created by capitalism his other side of the brain kicks in and tells him to change subject because his audience likes capitalism, but then 3 sentences later he starts dozing off and begins to realize how much pain he feels.

I love the, “What’s the worst thing you can be called, an axe murderer or and adulterer? No, it’s a racist.”
As if cheating on your spouse and ending a human life are anywhere near comparable.
“There are more important things than making money!” he said to a room full of people who paid to attend an event for his company that does nothing significant ~for the people.
“...and soon I’ll be selling a mug” was my favorite bit from Tuck. At its core, the American conservative movement could realistically be described as one big side show performed to gather a crowd of rubes to whom novelty mugs can be sold.
Yet the very reason he is there is at the command of people who value making money above all else as the highest virtue.
watching Tucker Carlson talk was the equivalent of getting buzzed at Christmas and listening to your uncle go off about how profound Jordan Peterson is
I just realized that “Turning points” soumds an awful lot like a eupamism for “Axis.”

So it's like a doughnut of Daylight Savings Time on a map of time zones.

Tucker has been critical of materialism on his show before and it's a thing he mentions semi-frequently. He points out that materialism (and by extension, capitalism) don't make anybody happy. His solution to that is faith, family, flag, because he doesn't want to acknowledge that capitalism cannot co-exist with those things forever because they get in the way of profit. And, as he said himself "If something can't continue forever, it won't". He blames the left for it all going away.
He's either deeply confused, or misdirecting the alienation of the public towards the left rather than admit the problem is capital.
In place of materialism, you mean consumerism? I know it's petty point to make, but I've had Cons confuse the two aforementioned 'isms' just run with it. God, it gets on my nerves. XD Tucker does the same, maybe.

A lot of the things Tucker said actually sounded meaningful and reflective, but then you zoom out and look at where he is speaking and what he has spent his career doing and saying...and I just don't know how to process it. He actually sounds like a human being with a conscience at points, yet he still spends his time spreading lies, fear and hate.
