America's medical establishment has beclowned itself': Tucker Carlson drops new episode on Twitter (video)
2023-06-23
[BLAZE] During a new episode of his show, Tucker Carlson declared that the nation's "medical establishment has beclowned itself for all time."

"Ep. 6 Bobby Kennedy is winning," the tweet containing Carlson's new episode reads.

Carlson opened the program by claiming that there has never been a presidential candidate the media loathed more than Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Carlson said that "Trump got a gentle scalp massage by comparison when he announced."

Carlson described an imaginary scenario in which an airplane cabin is filling with smoke but nobody is talking about it. When someone mentions the smoke to a flight attendant, she replies, "Shut up racist!" adding, "That's a dangerous Russian conspiracy theory. Stop spreading misinformation or I'll call TSA and have you arrested when we land."

After laying out that scenario, Carlson suggested that it serves as a parallel to modern American society. He said that while people can sense that there is "something very bad going on," leaders will not acknowledge it and insist that nothing is amiss.

#6  Thank you, I did but I am not reading the stats correctly. I know that he a high number of views for the first one - I thought it was 100M. I don’t see evidence of those type of numbers within Twitter. I watch the videos on other platforms. I am sure that the high number is an aggregation. It will be interesting to see where his regular audience settles in at.

Two seatmates, a lawyer and a priest speculate on the pilots' emergency parachutes. When the lawyer suggests they seize the two chutes and jump, the priest asks, "But what about the children?"
The lawyer replies, "Fuck the children."
The priest replies, "Do you think we have time?"

a parallel to modern American society

We are naive children, abandoned by law and faith.

#1  Daily Caller - ‘He’s Curious’: Tucker Carlson Reveals Why He Thinks The Media Hates RFK Jr. (video)

BLUF: Carlson said the media is attacking Kennedy over his willingness to “notice the obvious” and ask questions.

“Bobby Kennedy asks a lot of questions like that. He notices things,” Carlson continued. “Kennedy pays attention to the world around him and he wonders why it’s changing. He’s an outdoorsman … a fly fisherman, he’s interested in how nature works. He’s curious. Not so long ago, these qualities were considered essential to the practice of science. All scientific discovery comes from observation, empiricism, patient watching. Without the willingness to put aside your pre-assumptions and assess, with honesty, the things you see and touch and smell — the changes taking place right in front of your face — you can’t do science. You can’t create art either or journalism or theology.”

“You have to be willing to notice the obvious and when they tell you you’re not allowed to notice the obvious, you should be concerned,” he continued.
