'Tucker Carlson Tonight' hosts questions why military leadership is 'purging their ranks' instead of focusing on unknown space threats
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Good evening and
welcome to Tucker Carlson
tonight,
the United States remains the
most powerful country in the
world pair thats. The good news
whats interesting is this
country has occupied that
position for so long that
relatively few Americans have
considered what would happen if
we slip from that perch
it wouldnt matter. If America
became subordinate to other
nations,
theres a debate about that
at work. Does it matter to you
who the bosses?
It probably does matter, thus
the person who can fire you and
it isnt so different from that
the rest of the planet takes the
orders, whether they like it or
not.
Weve lost sight of that, because,
for more than a century, America
effectively has been in charge
of much of the world and thats
exactly what we have stayed rich
and free for that time,
most Americans on some level
understand this. Is an
arrangement worth preserving
their so much worse,
not so much.
How would you feel about
surrendering the? U dot S dollar as
the worlds reserve, currency and
immediately going bankrupt?
No thanks.
Most of us would like to avoid
outcomes like that and whats.
Why we spend more than any
country in the world on the
military
theres. A reason is the largest
government agency, not just
because defense contractors are
powerful
in exchange for all of that
money and all that power and all
the oversight we give it
thinking of ways to keep America
strong.
The question is: how have they
been doing that?
How do you judge for yourself?
Most of the generals see quoted
in the press, meets an
counterproductive diversity, role,
role
assembling the worlds first
transgender seal team by not
defending the United States.
The conflicts that Hannah gone
says is preparing forcing
comically, small and outdated,
whether its wrangling with
illiterate tribesmen in
Afghanistan, for ramping up for
some new war against a remote
group of buildings in Syria.
Can port a relevant country
really be our gravest enemies.
We act like it.
Thats been confirmed tonight,
the weather itself going
forward the? U dot S military has
still declared a hot ward on
global warming.
Without addressing the
climate crisis,
we face all kinds of threats in
our line of work, but few of them
truly deserve to be called
existential.
A climate crisis does deserve to
be called existential,
existential
youve got a cliche. He will
read it on television,
Floyd Austin. Of course, a
full time ideologue as well
having Lloyd Austin at the
Pentagon is like handing control
of the entire. U dot S military to
the editorial page of
the New York Times
the single scariest risk. Our
soldiers faces the possibility
they may have to serve alongside
Americans, who didnt vote for
Joe Biden.
If confirmed, I will fight
hard to stamp out sexual assault
and to read our ranks of racists
and extremists. Did the job of
the Department of Defense is to
keep America safe from our
enemies, but we cant do that. If
some of those enemies lie within
our own ranks,
he is a joke and a
mediocrity and of course he was
confirmed by the Senate as if he
was impressive, but hes not and
the results are entirely
predictable,
puts a finer point on what
exactly is happening at the
Pentagon. Under Lloyd, Austin
Austin has hired an activist
called Bishop Garrison is the
head of the militarys vast
diversity and inclusion
apparatus.
A group of offices that has
nothing to do with fighting
wars
just spend five minutes. Googling
Bishop garrison,
he announced anyone who supports
Donald Trump, tens of millions
of american citizens, many of
whom who have served in the
military as a white supremacist,
and he said there is no room for
nuance on that question.
Garrison wrote a lot of things
like that.
You can google it again you
should
now. He is one of the most
powerful officials in the U dot S.
Military
Democrats in Congress are
thrilled to watch this. Their
party now has all the tanks and
drones
with strangers. Republicans dont
seem to have noticed. It
happened still getting the same,
vacuous speeches about the
troops and then signing off on
ever expanding defense with no
oversight.
The effect the same fighting
force that for generations we
have been so proud of, have been
captured without a shot by
people who seem like rejects
from the Google HR department
and its defenders. The defenders
of the troops cant be bothered
to say a word about it.
Do they have television?
Have they seen the Armys latest
recruiting act?
This is the story of a
soldier who operates the
patients missile defense
systems.
It begins in California, with a
little girl raised by two moms.
Although I had a fairly typical
childhood took ballet played
violin, I also marched for
equality.
I like to think ive been
defending freedom from an early
age,
improve my inner strength and
the chatters stereotypes along
the way.
I also marched for
equality
oh shut up.
Who cares?
Please stop talking about
yourself for once,
it is boring and irrelevant and
insulting.
This is not just your country,
it belongs to all of us. Your
job is to defend it. Please do
so
its becoming clear. They have no
interest in defending it and
Heres the latest evidence of
that
it comes from CBS last night.
This is a clip from a sixty minutes
report on all things ufos in
the: U Dot S military
watch, this
a Navy aircrew struggles to
lock onto a fast moving object
off the: U Dot S Atlantic coast in
two thousand and fifteen
recently released images may not
convince you with UFO Skeptics B
Pentagon admits they dont know
what in the world this is or
this
or this
ufos they are
spooky and kind of funny crazy
people believe in them up until
you get to the line the Pentagon
admits it doesnt know what in
the world this is
and thats where you pause,
because from a national security
perspective, that is a very big
problem.
How big problem? Is it
one Navy, pilots of the? U dot S
military has observed,
unidentified flying objects,
maneuvering in restricted
airspace off the coast of
Virginia every day for two
years
confirms. These are images of
objects it cant, identify
lieutenant graves, told us. Pilots,
training off the Atlantic Coast
see things like that. All the
time,
every day,
every day for at least a couple
of years worried every day
for a couple of years,
every day for years
years,
flying in restricted airspace is
not a small thing. Try that in
your Cessna one hundred and seventy two off of Virginia
Beach sometime, he will will get
wet, will get killed
after days of daily incursions
come I didnt do anything about
it.
What possible explanation that
they couldnt?
I military was completely
outmatched technologically by
whatever these were, and they
were not weather balloons.
Here is the former director of
the advanced aerospace
identification program.
You know how this sounds of.
It sounds wacky
im not telling you that it
doesnt sound wacky,
but im telling you is its
real
imagine, technology that can do
six or 700g forces flight.
Thirteen thousand miles an hour can evade
radar and can fly through air
and water and possibly space and
has no obvious signs of
propulsions no control
surfaces and yet still can defy
the natural effects of earths
gravity thats. Precisely what
we are seeing
sound like a
potential threat.
You think
so what does the Pentagon done
about it?
We dont know the full story as
of tonight, but we dont know
that theyve done anything about
it other than ignore it and then
cover the fact they ignored it
by declaring the whole subject
classified for decades and then
spending the rest of the day.
Thinking about how to bomb Syria
again and with the marine corps
of people who voted for
Donald Trump.
The sad thing is: we have a whole
new branch of the military that
might be perfectly designed to
assess what these things are and
figure out. If they were a threat
or not, there was ever a reason
to have space for us. This might
be it
space forces otherwise occupied
undertaking political purges of
their own ranks.
He was Lieutenant Colonel
commanded, the space for us until
the White House decided it was
politics,
since they can command as a
commander about ten months ago.
What I considered incompatible
with what America is and should
be
it wasnt, just prolific on
social media or throughout the
country during this past year,
spreading throughout the
United States military.
I recognize those narratives as
being marxist in nature,
so every day for
two years, unidentified flying
objects, behaving in ways that
seem to contradict what we know
about physics in the: U Dot S
military spending its time as of
now, and what does this remind
you?
A clear and present threat
appears on the horizon. The
people in charge are so obsessed
with loyalty to the party that
they cant respond because there
focused on attacking their own
organization
when they say all revolutions
are the same. They are right,
ufos are real and whatever
else they are, they are a prima
facie challenge to the: U Dot S
military, doing things, the? U DOT, s
military does not allow and they
are doing it and continued in
appeared to be focused on the:
U Dot S military bear. They have
clustered around military
installations, with no real
response except more secrecy.
At one point, unidentified
flying objects shut down the
nuclear weapons facility at an
air force base in the state of
Montana
Ten Icbms, ballistic missiles
were temporarily knocked
off line and noticed a glowing
red object. Floating in this guy
seems like out of a movie, but it
happen
decades ago, many more citing
around the country.
According to journalist, George
Knapp, all of the Nuclear
Facilities Savannah Hill all
have dramatic incidents with
these unknown aircraft appearing
over the facilities and no one
knew where they were from or
what they were doing there
again for decades. This has
happened.
Apparently, no one knows why
no one seems especially alarmed
in the 1950s some people
worried about it.
They classified an FBI document
from seventy years ago to search
unknown flying objects measuring
fifty feet in diameter.
More recently, declassified
footage from a UFO incident in
two thousand and four and two incidents from
two thousand and fifteen. It was reported by Navy
pilots for a training flight.
We have no explanation for what
these objects are.
Just days ago, the Pentagon
confirmed in an 182nd video of
three Ufos: a u dot. S warship is
real.
That footage was shot in July of
two thousand and nineteen and collected by the Ufos
task force
in that amount up in the hands
of the journalist to put it
online.
So the question is: what are
these things? Why are they
buzzing our skies? Why do they
seem attracted to the
United States military and
invite, above all, is in the.
