OPINION: TuckerCarlson: Why all the hysteria over not clapping for Zelenskyy?
Fox News host Tucker Carlson gives his take on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's address to Congress on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'You can't even really call it news anymore. It's some kind of"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" scenario on display every single day.
But unfortunately, this is not one of those times. The United States is flat out of money and not just in some abstract PowerPoint presentation kind of way, where we show you graphs of the national debt and we all pretend to be shocked and horrified. No, no, no. The United States is broke in a real way, meaning we can no longer afford to take care of our citizens.
That's real. Does that frustrate you? Does hearing the details infuriate you as a citizen? Imagine if you went to Congress to plead your case. Maybe you showed up in a sweatshirt to tell them what you think."I'm an American citizen," you might say."I've lived here my entire life. I've paid taxes, I've followed the law. I've supported the system my grandfathers built because I believed in that system.
But here's the interesting thing. Almost every person in the room clapped like a seal. So no matter what that man said -- Send me more money! I command you! Send me more money! We're taking care of it the most responsible ways -- they applaud, all of them, almost like they have to. NBC News took off right after them. That was the headline for NBC. Its house"historian" Michael Beschloss declared this:"For any members of Congress who refuse to clap for Zelenskyy, we need to know from them exactly why. We need to know why." Thought crime alert. You've been reported as not applauding. Explain yourself, pleb. And then Beschloss went on television to drive home the point. Our sources have reported you are not clapping. Watch this.
Is it possible that the more ludicrous the lie they tell you, the fewer questions they can tolerate about it, the less dissent they can put up with because they fear the whole edifice might crumble if they allow one person to ask one reasonable question. It's possible that's what's happening. But no, they told us. Russia did it. Putin blew up his own pipeline. That's how evil he is. That's how much destruction he wreaks. He doesn't just attack others. He attacks himself. Okay, now. That's what they told us. And some of us had questions about it. Is that really what happened?
So if Russia didn't do it, then the people who suggested maybe the Biden people were behind it were 100% right. So you'd think in a free country, in a democracy, you would get to discuss that in public. But you can't. And the press corps is not going to help you. They don't ask questions. We don't have that anymore. Here's what we have.Politicians and the press often toss around comparisons to Winston Churchill. But this time, minus the cigar and the whiskey, it fits.
