♪ ♪>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT." HAPPY THURSDAY. LIKE ALL SORORITY GIRL NARCISSISTS, THERE'S NOTHING THE 14TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN NEW YORK THAN GIVING YOURSELF NICKNAMES. SANDY CORTEZ, WE STILL CALL HER THAT, OF ALL HER PSEUDONYMS IF IT'S THE BEST. THEN SHE GOT TO CONGRESS AND CALLED HERSELF ALEXANDRIA, CO CORTEZ. AND YOU PICTURE ONE OF CHE GUEVARA WAS MISTRESSES ON A MOTORCYCLE. THEN SHE STARTED GOING AS AOC, QUEEN OF TIKTOK E THEN SHE HAD STILL ANOTHER NAME. DURING THE 2018 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, WHERE SHE BEAT JOE CRAWLEY FOR BEING WHITE, SHE WENT BY ALEX. YOUR FAVORITE GENDER NONSPECIFIC BARTENDER. ALEX. ON HER CAMPAIGN WEBSITE SAID WHAT SHE BELIEVED. QUOTE ALEX BELIEVES WE SHOULD IN THE FOREVER WAR BY BRINGING OUR TROOPS HOME AND STOP THE BOMBING THAT PERPETUATES THE CYCLE OF TERRORISM. FEW PEOPLE NOTICE THIS BECAUSE FOR A SELF-DESCRIBED IS PROGRESSIVE IT DIDN'T SEEM SO SURPRISING. AND WHEN SHE BEAT CARLY IN THE PRIMARY THE STATEMENT WAS STILL ON HER WEBSITE. BUT THEN IT DISAPPEARED. A JOURNALIST NAMED SAMIR KHAN NOTICED IT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANTIWAR PART? BUT BY NOW SHE HAD MORPHED INTO ALEXANDRIA BOCCACCIO CORTEZ. WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO IT? THERE MIGHT BE MORE TO THE STORY, SHE ASKED AT THE TIME. HOW LONG WILL WE BE MOANING ABOUT SINGLE PAYER WHEN THIS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON BENCHMARK THAT ENDED UP BEING A PRETTY GOOD QUESTION, NOT EVEN A RHETORICAL QUESTION ANYMORE. LIKE BIDEN SAID, NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON ON THE WAY! CONGRESS SAID NOTHING WHICH IS TO SAY THEY BACKED HIM UP. AND ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ STAYED COMPLETELY SILENT. AND THAT'S THE POINT. MAYBE YOU DON'T CARE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS SHOW, THEY'RE MOSTLY RASTAFARIAN CLOWNS. THAT'S WHO THEY ARE. BUT IT'S ALSO TRUE THAT OVER TIME, PEOPLE LIKE THIS CAN BE USEFUL. SOMETIMES YOU WANT PRINCIPLED PEOPLE TAKING PRINCIPLED POSITIONS. IT KEEPS THE SYSTEM IN BALANCE, YOU NEED THAT. NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A MERCENARY. OTHERWISE, YOU HAVE WHAT WE HAVE NOW COME OVER JUST TO INSANITY. AN IRONCLAD CONSENSUS IN WASHINGTON THAT WE SOMEHOW HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO DESTROY OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE AND AN UTTERLY POINTLESS WAR AGAINST RUSSIA. WHAT MARK EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK THAT. AND WE NEED EVERYONE ON BOTH SIDES, FROM NANCY PELOSI TO JONI ERNST AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN. AND THAT'S A HUGE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S INSANE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO SAY IT'S THIS ACADEMIC INSANE OUT LOUD. YOU MAY DESPISE, WE DO, WE SAY SO OFTEN, BUT AT CERTAIN KEY MOMENTS PEOPLE LIKE THAT HAVE A ROLE. THEY STAND UP AND TELL THE ESSENTIAL TRUTH. NO, WE SHOULD NOT GO TO WAR WITH RUSSIA. ARE YOU KIDDING? IT'S LUNACY. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT CORTEZ IS DOING RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'S NOT WHAT SHE CLAIMS TO BE. SHE MAY HATE WHITE PEOPLE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S PROGRESSIVE OR LIBERAL. SHE IS THE OPPOSITE. JUST ANOTHER STOOGE LIKE JOE BIDEN OR KAMALA HARRIS. A WILLING TOOL OF SOLOS CORPORATE POWER WHO WILL ALWAYS SIDE WITH JPMORGAN AGAINST THE WORKING PEOPLE SHE CLAIMS TO REPRESENT. HUNDO SUBJECT IS THIS MORE GLARINGLY OBVIOUS THAN UKRAINE NOR, WHICH PROVIDES NO BENEFIT TO HER, HER EX CONSTITUENTS, OR THE NORMAL AMERICAN. THAT'S ALL DOWNSIDE FOR HER. LAST NIGHT OF THE SPARSELY ATTENDED TOWN HALL IN THE BRONX, TWO OF HER CONSTITUENTS SET OUT LOUD. >> CONGRESSWOMAN, NONE OF THIS MATTERS UNLESS THERE IS A NUCLEAR WAR. YOU VOTED TO SEND ARMS AND WEAPONS TO UKRAINE. SHE HAS LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. OKAY? YOU RAN AS AN OUTSIDER. BUT YOU'VE BEEN VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS WORK. YOUR VOTING TO START WORLD WAR III! WHY ARE YOU PLAYING WITH THE LIVES OF AMERICANS? YOU'RE PLAYING WITH OUR LIVES. >> THERE WILL BE NO NEIGHBORS IF THERE'S A NUCLEAR BOMB. YOU VOTED TO MOBILIZE AND SEND WEAPONS TO UKRAINIAN. YOUR PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST. YOU'VE DONE NOTHING! TULSI GABBARD HAS SHOWN GOD'S WHERE YOU HAVE SHOWN COWARDICE. I BELIEVED IN YOU AND YOU BECAME THE VERY THING YOU SOUGHT TO FIGHT AGAINST. THAT'S WHAT YOU BECOME. YOU ARE THE ESTABLISHMENT AND YOU ARE THE REASON WHY EVERYONE WILL END UP IN A NUCLEAR WAR UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO STAND UP RIGHT NOW AND DEMAND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! YOU CONTINUE TO FUND THIS NUCLEAR WAR, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON. WHY NOT RIGHT NOW? >> BECAUSE YOU'RE RUDE. >> YOU'RE THE LIAR HERE! >> Tucker: THOSE ARE ACTUAL PROGRESSIVES. NO DOUBT ON VIRTUALLY ANY OTHER ISSUE WE WOULDN'T AGREE WITH THEM. BUT ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, WHICH DOES MATTER, THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. SANDY CORTEZ IS NOT A RADICAL, NOT PROGRESSIVE, SHE'S A NEOCON RED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. SHE IS A TOOL THE PEOPLE WITH POWER, OBVIOUSLY. THEY CAN SEE THAT CLEARLY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. HER RESPONSE? >> YOU'RE BEING RUDE! SAYS THE SAME SANDY CORTEZ WHO ENCOURAGED ACTIVISTS TO TERRORIZE THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. SHE SAID THE WHOLE POINT IS TO MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE. IS THAT RIGHT? SO THEY WERE FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS WERE THEY? THE PROTESTERS YOU JUST SAW THE USE IS PREFERRED TACTICS AGAINST HER. THEY SEIZE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND AND STARTED YELLING. AND THEY GOT NO RESPONSE FROM SANDY CRIST SAYS. BECAUSE SHE HAS NOTHING TO SAY. THERE ONTO HER AND SHE KNOWS IT. THE THEY WERE RIGHT. SHE FUNDED THE LARGEST EXPANSION OF OUR U.S. MILITARY EVER. SHE HELPED APPROVE A $37 BILLION MILITARY BUDGET. >> I DON'T BELIEVE OUR WHOLE NATION'S PRIORITY IS TO SLAUGHTER PEOPLE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. I THINK IT IS A PRIORITY OF A POWERFUL AND CONCENTRATED CLASS IN THE UNITED STATES THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE A GROUP OF CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT. >> Tucker: SO THAT WAS THE TIKTOK HE APPROVED VERSION, FOR THE COLLEGE KIDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BUT IN REAL LIFE, SHE DIDN'T WORD OF IT WERE THE ONLY PART SHE MEANT WAS THAT AMERICA IS TERRIBLE. SHE DOES HATE THE COUNTRY. BUT PULLING BACK FROM A WAR THAT WILL HURT THE COUNTRY, WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT? SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE COUNTRY. ANYTHING THAT'S NOT IN OUR INTEREST SHE IS COMPLETELY FOR. SO THE SQUAD VOTED TO APPROVE ANOTHER MASSIVE $42 BILLION SPENDING BILL. CORI BUSH EVEN VOTED FOR IT EVEN AFTER SHE ADMITTED IT WOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF DIRECT WAR AND DIRECT MILITARY CONFRONTATION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE U.S. SO EVEN CORI BUSH, THE LOWEST IQ MEMBER OF CONGRESS, KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING. IT'S GOING TO WAR WITH RUSSIA. SHE VOTED FOR IT AND THEY ALL DID. LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ATTEMPTED TO SELL THIS STEP TOWARD WAR AS A HUMANITARIAN EFFORT. WATCH. >> TODAY WERE VOTING TO PROVIDE NEARLY $40 BILLION TO ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE AND NEAR TERM SECURITY, ECONOMIC, AND HUMANITARIAN NEEDS OF THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE. >> WE ARE MORALLY OBLIGATED TO ENSURE THE BRAVE UKRAINIAN FIGHTERS AND THE UKRAINE PEOPLE HAVE THE SECURITY AND ECONOMIC AID THAT THEY NEED. >> WE'LL BE DOING IS IMPORTANT, PROVIDING ASSISTANCE. >> IT'S A DOWN PAYMENT. IT'S A DOWN PAYMENT ON THE SECURITY AND SUCCESS OF DEMOCRACY. >> GLORIED TO UKRAINE. WE WANT THE VICTORY FOR UKRAINE. AND WE WANT DEFEAT FOR VLADIMIR PUTIN. REGIME CHANGE WOULD BE GREAT. BUT WE REALIZE THAT WON'T HAPPEN. DEFEAT MUST HAPPEN. >> Tucker: OH. SO IT'S HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE. DID YOU LOOK AT THE BILL? NO, IT WAS A MILITARY FUNDING BILL, NOT A MILITARY ASSISTANCE BILL. 19 BILLION WENT DIRECTLY TO THE WAR EFFORT IN UKRAINE. SO, OKAY, IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE CLOSET NEOCON, IT MAKES SENSE. BUT IF YOU'RE SANDY CORTEZ, TALKING ABOUT THE WORKING PEOPLE FIGHTING THE MAN, WHAT'S HIS TELL YOU ABOUT HER? SHE HAS CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE SHE REPRESENTS. SHE TALKS ABOUT THEIR MIDGET STOMACH MISERY ONLY TO LEVERAGE IT AGAINST THEM. THEY'RE THE TOOLS OF HER PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT. DO NOT THE MEMBERS OF HER REAL CONSTITUENCY. NBC AND "TEEN VOGUE" EDITORS, THAT'S HER CONSTITUENCY. SHE SHAKING DOWN CONGRESS FOR MORE CASH EVEN AS OUR OWN BORDERS OR COLLAPSING. >> AT THIS TIME WE HAVE TWO KEY FINANCIAL NEEDS OF THE COUNTRY, $38 BILLION TO MAKE UP FOR THE DEFICIT OF OUR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, AND THE OTHER AND $17 BILLION THAT WERE VERIFIED BY WORLD BANK AND NEEDED TO REBUILD THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. WE NEED ALSO TO BILLION DOLLARS TO REBUILD THE ELECTRIC ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE AFTER THE DESTRUCTION AND TO EXPAND OUR EXPORT TO EUROPE. WE NEED CREDIT LIMITS TO PURCHASE GAS AND COAL FOR THE FUTURE HEATING SEASON. THE SCOPE OF THIS YEAR'S SUPPORT SHOULD BE NOT LESS THAN $5 BILLION. >> Tucker: WHAT? SUM UP THE NEED FOR ORDER AND A T-SHIRT DEMANDING MONEY FOR HIS CRITICAL ECONOMIC NEEDS? WE HAVE CRITICAL ECONOMIC'S TWO BUDDY. WHO YOU? GO AWAY. SINCE WHEN DOES THIS GUY HAVE A CLAIM ON OUR TREASURY? SO THIS IS THE JOB OF PEOPLE LIKE SANDY CORTEZ. WE DON'T OWE THIS GUY ANYTHING, NOT ONE THING. GOOD LUCK, PAL. THAT'S IT. AND AS OUR ECONOMY DEGRADES IN OUR BORDER IS GONE, THAT GUY IS LECTURING US WITH SOME CHRISTMAS LIST, I WANT TO BICYCLE TO A NEW BETTER SEND IT QUICK. REALLY WISH MARK UP YOURS, BUDDY. TELLING US WE HAVE TO NUKE RUSSIA PUSH MARK WHAT IS SANDY CORTEZ DO WISH MARK SHE AFFIRMS IT. SHE'S A STEALTHY NEOCON OPERATIVE, NOT A PROGRESSIVE. THEY'RE TOTALLY AND UTTERLY CORRUPT ALL OF THEM IN THE MOVEMENT. THE SO-CALLED RADICALS? THE ATLANTIC, MPR, NBC, TELLING US HOW MUCH THEY CARE ABOUT OPPRESSED PEOPLES EVEN AS THEY CALL FOR A RADICAL RACE WERE EVERY DAY. THERE CHEERING FOR THE APOCALYPSE RIGHT ALONGSIDE THE PENTAGON. >> WILL STAY WITH RICK UKRAINE FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES. >> WE WILL NOT WAVER FROM OUR COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT UKRAINE AS LONG AS IT TAKES. >> WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT UKRAINE FOR HIS SMALL STOMACH LONG AS IT TAKES. >> YOU'RE ALREADY 15 BILLION OR MORE. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? >> AS LONG AS IT TAKES. >> Tucker: AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO DO WHAT? HOW LONG IS THAT? WHAT'S THE GOAL? AND AT WHAT COST? AND WHAT'S THE RISK WISH MARK SHOULD WE THOSE? NO. AS LONG AS IT TAKES. WH
Meanwhile this can only happen because Glenn's good work, but you credit Tucker for originality.
