I'm cheering for America as always. Our interest ought to come first and to the extent that making temporary alliances with other countries serve our interests, I met in favor of that. Making sweeping moral claims comparing people to Hitler advances the ball not one that blinds us to reality.
Tucker CarlsonVirtually everyone with a high-paying job in Washington, New York and Los Angeles demanded that voters not support Donald Trump for president but they did it anyway but we never saw it coming. Why is that?
Tucker CarlsonI'll go through all of [12 steps for people who say are traumatized by the election], but a sample: Volunteer to fight Islamaphobia. Join the ACLU. Donate to Planned Parenthood. Take down sexism and misogyny. Sort of all the stations of the cross of liberalism. Sort of all the stations of the cross of liberalism.
Tucker CarlsonThe Clinton era is over. I think that there would even have been a certain amount of rejoicing among some Republicans if Gore had won or if Ralph Nader had won or if Satan had won.
Tucker CarlsonThe economic base of that rural Oregon area used to be manufacturing and logging. And that went away and they feel nobody has been speaking to them and finally Donald Trump has spoken to them.
Tucker CarlsonBut Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that. He wasn't, but the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs?
Tucker CarlsonThat great philosopher anonymous once said, never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference.
Tucker CarlsonI don't notice any sympathy for them in [ Nicholas Kristof] column. If you're writing a column saying the people for Trump are Nazis and Klansman and North Korean dictators.
Tucker CarlsonI'm not trying to be mean. You [ Nicholas Kristof] have written about climate change. You're really concerned and you've thought a lot about the suffering of people in other countries. It doesn't seem like you have thought that deeply about the suffering of your fellow Americans. You don't have the solutions say as you do for global warming. And my question is: Isn't it always easier for the elites to identify with abstractions or poor people in other countries and kind of ignore their own country men. I have noticed this. Have you noticed that?
Tucker CarlsonIf you are a [Hillary] Clinton supporter if you have friends who voted for [Donald] Trump it's harder to demonize that person.
Tucker CarlsonCanada, by others in the global family, is, for some reason, taken seriously. They have about 30 million people. They have some natural resources.
Tucker CarlsonI will say, the one thing Mexico does well is punish prisoners. They do. They're good at that.
Tucker CarlsonNobody, at least sitting in my seat , is defending drunk driving. I am not for drunk driving.
Tucker CarlsonThe two things I was positive about in life were that I was going to be a teacher at a boarding school or an operative with the CIA posted abroad. I could write a book about all the things I was sure about.
Tucker CarlsonFeminism's latest victory: the right to get your limbs blown off in war. Congratulations.
Tucker CarlsonI can't wait to work for Rick Kaplan. He's a great producer. I would host an infomercial if he would produce it.
Tucker CarlsonThe war on Christmas. This is the most ridiculous right wing talking point I have ever lived through.The idea is that liberals want to get rid of Christmas.
Tucker CarlsonWouldn't it be useful to explain the factors that actually allowed this to happen [Donald's Trump Presidency]. Like, for example, their frustration of the absolute shrinking of the middle class, the heroin epidemic, things like that. I don't see any of that.
Tucker CarlsonI believe my friends and neighbors there are misguided. I think they are not going to get what they hoped for. But they feel betrayed by the Democratic and Republican establishment.
Tucker CarlsonI'm such a sap for democracy and politics that I get weepy when I see anybody voting.
Tucker CarlsonTo be a feminist, you could cut your hair really short. You have to be really angry about something.
Tucker CarlsonCanada thinks we're married; we don't know it exists. Every time we tell Canada to knock it off, it just feeds the fire.
Tucker CarlsonAmerican officials have bent over backwards to show how sensitive they are to Muslim culture. It didn't seem very effective. They seem to be worried about winning the respect of other people.
Tucker CarlsonThe modern tribalism of the left demands that each person choose a group and then agree with everything that group agrees with. And anybody who leaves that group is stoned to death.
Tucker CarlsonIf you look at my columns I precisely said we have to avoid that. That it's important not to stereotype [Donald] Trump voters.
Tucker CarlsonThis is a major step forward in achieving our objective, which is an ally having a democratic Iraq, a country able to sustain itself and defend itself, a country that will be an ally in the war on terror and a country which will set such a powerful example to others in the region.
Tucker CarlsonCanada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he's nice, but you don't take him seriously. That is Canada.
Tucker CarlsonI think Canadians, they may be offended that I pointed out that they're stalking us. But at least we're paying attention.
Tucker CarlsonYou cannot compare me to somebody who makes apologies for Hitler. And I don't think Putin is comparable.
Tucker CarlsonSince 1978 for the bottom half of the wealth distribution male median wages have actually gone down. And I think that's a crucial reason. If you are a male worker, your median wage since 1979 has gone down.
Tucker CarlsonBilly Tauzin is one of the most interesting people in Washington. He is smart, funny, and interesting.
Tucker CarlsonI'm not vouching for Putin's character, he seems like a shady guy. Hard to see why he's a threat was.
Tucker CarlsonUnless you know a lot more about something than I do, I am not really that interested. I have too much information already.
Tucker CarlsonI am really only interested in new information, not freelance opinion. I don't really care what you think off the top of your head.
Tucker CarlsonA lot of people now make a living off of YouTube. It's the world's most popular video site by far, it's a subsidiary by Google. Increasingly, Google seems to be letting politics dictate who is allowed to make money from the platform.
Tucker CarlsonI want to act in America's interest and stop making shallow, sweeping claims about countries we don't fully understand and hope everything will be fine in the end. I saw that happen and it didn't work.
Tucker CarlsonRon Karenga wrote a book back in 1968, and in that book, he said that the reason, part of his motivation for starting Kwanzaa was because he felt that Christianity was the white man religion, and he didn't like Jews, and so he made up this lie. And he called it an African holiday because he was concerned that if he didn't call it an African holiday, that black Americans would not participate in it.
Tucker CarlsonDogs are intelligent beings; they are not human beings. The life of a dog - there's no equivalency with the life of a person, and if you are putting a dog in the line of danger to save human life, and they can do the job reasonably well, I mean, seriously, what about dignity and self-respect? I feel like going out to dinner, I think I will have my cocker spaniel host the show tonight.
