Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight so much going on yesterday, President Trump pulled a group of his supporters to head to the: U Dot S capitol building. Many of them did while they were there. Some of the supporters pushed over police barricades crawled over broken windows and made a mess inside one of the protesters who was wearing a Donald Trump Lag is a cape was shot dead by police. Within minutes of all of this, every powerful person in the country erupted in rage. At Donald Trump, business leaders demanded drum, be removed from office immediately members of Congress clamored to impeach Donald Trump, at least one Democrat suggested. Anyone in Congress who supported his claims of election fraud must be expelled. Meanwhile, the media said about denouncing Donald Trump as a terrorist and a murderer we could go on. That is a rough recap of the last twenty four hours. What do you notice about every

news story on that list? They are all about Donald Trump, every one of them. The people in charge of every institution in american life, now spend all day talking about Donald Trump. You may not have noticed because thats not very different from any other day over the past five years, since the moment he announced for office, it has been all about Donald Trump, all the time. The effect on us has been noticeable weve gone from being this big continental country, with an enormous span of concerns and interests to a sweaty chat room of three hundred million people, all of whom are focused on a single man, Donald Trump. That is not healthy, no matter how you feel about Trump, we arent attacking him very few. Media outlets have been more supportive of his two thousand, and sixteen agenda than the show has been. We agree with his ideas. Then we agree with them now, but at some point, youve got to wonder about where our country is putting all of its energy is any single president. Anyone

worth all of this time and attention all politicians, whether you agree with them or not, come with a shelf life. They are people they dont last forever. None of us do in trumps case. The expiration date arrives in thirteen days and after that he will not be president. We know a lot is going on just for a second lets take the long view by which we mean lets think about what life will be like in February, which is next month. Two weeks from tonight. Donald Trump will no longer be in control of the nuclear Arsenal or have command of the federal agencies, or even most likely, his own twitter account as much as all of that may upset. You is nevertheless true. We cannot change it. The rest of us- and this is the Key- will still be here. Weve got nowhere to go. We dont have foreign passports, we are staying to the end. What will life be like for us? Not many people will be thinking about that, including people we pay to think about that Donald Trump think some is is

exclusively about Donald Trump, but some so does almost every Si Democrat in Congress, as well as every single Republican. All of them is Trump obsessed. Whos got your concerns top of mind, who wakes up in the middle of the night about your family thats. The main thing we need to change. It wont be easy, but the themes are pretty clear and here are the basics. The point of the Republican Party is not to protect the personal reputations of its leaders. That cannot be the priority. The point of the Republican Party is to protect its voters in practice that needs protecting the bill of rights, the most basic freedoms and bedrock promises of american life. Without them you wouldnt want to live here. Those freedoms are more important than any single politician. Donald Trump could become immortal and win the next forty presidential elections and his daughter, the next forty after that. But if America becomes a place where you have to violate your

own conscience in order to hold a job, we are not allowed to protect your family from mob violence where your children cant afford to get married and raise your grandchildren because employers dont, like their skin color, then whats the point of all of this. There is no point. No one wants to live in a place like that or should have to no matter who the president is. We should be very concerned about all of this right now. These are the core concerns much more concerned about whether Donald Trump could claim he actually won, of Pennsylvania or or whatever. The Trump protest of the capital yesterday is already being used as a pretext for an unprecedented crackdown on civil liberties. In the last several hours we have heard people in positions of power and authority demand those that support Donald Trump should no longer be allowed to publish books or use the internet or fly on airplanes driving cars holding jobs. Those will be next. We are

barely exaggerating to justify mind. Bending terrifying demands like these. They are relying on lies and hysteria. What happened yesterday, wasnt simply that a political protest got out of hand after the president recklessly encouraged it. That is, in fact, what happened but its not what they are saying. Instead, they are calling it domestic terrorism CNN describes it as an insurrection, Chuck Schumer likened it to Pearl harbor. It was our generations nine slash eleven and, needless to say, it was white supremacy to name a small example: the Berkshire Cool in Massachusetts, a boarding school that costs sixty four thousand dollars a year to attend a sent. A letter describing what happened as these acts of violence and racism, if you are a literal person tied to outdated western notions of linear thought and facts that might confuse you, racism, whatever you thought about what happened yesterday, what was racist about it?

Nothing, of course there was nothing racist about it. The Berkshire school is lying, so was everyone else on the left. Why are they doing that simple? They know if they keep saying it, history will record it as true. They understand the power of language, and that is why they try to control language. They know words have consequences. This is scary in the face of it. The party that should be stepping in to stop it to push back, tell the truth in the face of lies and to protect its voters from this deception and the destruction that inevitably comes next. That party does nothing. Often they join in this afternoon, a group of republican staffers on Capitol Hill lawyers, who worked for republican elected officials texted each other and concluded actually now that we think about it. Yesterdays protest rally really was racist yeah, it was racist. Those are people protecting you with bodyguards like this, tens of millions of Americans have no chance. They are about to be

crushed by the ascended left. I dont think people should be allowed to fly on airplanes. What country is this? These people need a defender. Why is no one defending you, the main problem, and if this really is the main problem on the right anyway, im of the people who run the Republican Party dont really like their own voters. They especially dont want the voters that Trump brought of Trump brought. The partys ranks, notably downscale from the country club to the trailer park, and many Republicans in Washington now despise the people they are supposed to represent and protect its, not just republican leaders who feel this way, its our entire leadership, everyone in charge. You rarely hear it spoken out loud, but this is the truth. A very specific form of inter white loathing is at the core of the reaction. Donald Trump. Nothing is more repulsive to socially anxious white professionals and working class.

People who look like them, trolls are their greatest fear. They remind them of where they come from or where they could be going. If things turn south, if you want to understand the hatred, the real hatred, not just disagreement, but got level loathing and fear of Trump in New York or Washington or L dot a you got to understand that, first, its not really trump, it is his voters, the new money class despises them Trump didnt, despise them, and that was his secret. In the end, he didnt have much in some ways, but he did not judge his own voters in real life. He ate Mcdonalds. It was true and they knew it was true, and you would be grateful for it too. If everyone else hated you thirteen days from now, these voters will not have Donald Trump to protect them. They wont have anyone unless the Republican Party decides to wake up and push back against the lies and progress and acknowledge the purpose of those lies which is.
