Tucker Carlson is speaking out for the first time since he was fired by Fox News. He’s released an unbelievable video. which makes no mention of Rupert Murdoch and Fox News.

And all I can say after watching it is: Tucker Carlson is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life. (Snark, that’s from the film “The Manchurian Candidate”).

Here it is:

Here’s the transcript:

“Good evening. It’s Tucker Carlson. One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people, also a lot of those. It’s got to be the majority of the population, even now. So that’s heartening.

“The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They are completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years we won’t even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who’s participated in them.

“And yet at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all: War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues. It’s been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media.

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actually collude to shut down any conversation about it. And suddenly the United States looks very much like a one-party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t.

“The people in charge know this, that ‘s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who have been trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe: True things prevail.

“Where can you still hear Americans saying true things. There aren’t many places left, but there are some, and that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon.”

I won’t comment on it any further. Have at it folks.
