At the recent Risk On 360! Global Success Conference in Las Vegas, Tucker Carlson delivered a powerful speech, cautioning about an unprecedented year ahead for America. His remarks were filled with critique of the current political and cultural landscape.
Covering a wide range of topics, from the state of the nation’s leadership to media credibility, the former Fox News host expressed concerns about the deepening division and paranoia among Americans. He alluded to the belief that the country stands on the brink of significant historical changes.
“I’m just telling you, once again, what you already know, which is this is going to be the next year, is going to be, I think, I’d bet my house on it, really like nothing we’ve ever seen in the country,” he asserted.
Carlson criticized the leadership at the helm of the country, suggesting that the President is not in full control of his faculties or the White House. “Liars are weak. They are weak, and afraid they can’t even admit that the president’s senile,” he explained.
Delving deeper, Carlson argued that the issues facing America go beyond politics, framing them as a cultural and moral crisis: “There is no upside to the great trends of our age. There’s no upside to pushing transgenderism on kids. Period. None. Not for the kid, not for the society at large, not for the parents who will never have grandchildren.”
“What we’re watching is not political. This is not politics. Politics is a human-conceived system whereby civilized people settle their differences without violence and by consensus. What’s happening now… can’t be explained through conventional political terms.”
He also touched on the war in Ukraine, questioning the motives and benefits of continued American involvement. However, a significant portion of his address was dedicated to the media’s role. Carlson accused them of not only spreading falsehoods but also actively suppressing the truth.
“If you feel you’re being lied to, you’re 100% right. You are being lied to. And if you feel that something very intense and history-changing is about to happen, don’t ignore it.”
“They’re not just lying, they hate the truth. They’re offended by things purely because they are true, even when they don’t possibly threaten anyone,” Carlson stated.
“The only way to stay alive and fully human in a moment like this is to resolve that you are going to tell the truth in every and all circumstances. If you can’t say it out loud, stay silent. That is the mark not of a free man or a citizen but of a slave.”
With the US disrupted by war in both Eastern Europe and the Middle East, concerns about the coming years are understandable. Carlson concluded by urging the audience to remain strong and dignified in the face of what he sees as attempts to weaken the American spirit. He advocated for personal integrity and the courage to speak the truth, even when it is unpopular or difficult.
