Tucker: This is why America is great

good evening welcome to tucker carlson tonight there is a huge amount going on right now as you know really a torrent of news historic amounts to begin tonight we are going to ignore all of it we've never done that before this is a news show brought to you on a news channel but on this second friday after the election we'd like to take a 20-minute break from developments so many things seem so completely screwed up right now that it can be overwhelming and over time it's also misleading if you pay too much attention to what's happening you can easily conclude that america is a rotten country but that's wrong it's not america is still the best there is two things about america make it great the country and its people this is a truly beautiful place that's the first thing if you're absorbed in your phone all day it's easy to forget that but look around it's stunning switzerland has the alps zimbabwe has victoria falls but multiply that by an entire continent and you've got what we have america from the islands of puget sound the islands in casco bay to the rockies and the badlands the upper peninsula and the appalachian mountains in between spend a day hiking through the shoshone national forest in wyoming you might not see another person how can a place so gorgeous be so empty we've got a lot of those here wake up in big sur california some morning the smell of redwoods and salt air will change you you'll feel things you inherited from your ancestors coming from places the modern world cannot touch we are blessed to live in a place like this more blessed than we acknowledge no matter what happens next no matter who becomes the president now or in the future nothing can diminish the dignity of an eastern white pine towering above the spruce in a new england forest all of it is ours to enjoy thank god and we've got a lot of people to enjoy it with an awful lot americans are still the best people misguided as we sometimes are this isn't an especially religious country anymore but surveys on church going do not tell the whole story even now most americans know they're not really in charge of the universe they know there's something bigger out there bigger than all of us combined and when you understand that when you know in your bones how small you are and how short the ride is likely to be you tend to treat people better americans do don't let cable news fool you don't let us fool you this is a profoundly nice country the nicest in the world americans are kind to children to pets to strangers we give more money to charity than any other place we tip our waiters more there's no country on earth you'd rather be lost in someone will help you in america we don't eat dogs we rescue them they sleep on the bed we give them funny names we cry when they die it's a sweet country in some ways it's getting better the music's definitely improving so is the food believe it or not we still make things here and a lot of them are pretty good that probably won't change americans love innovation but they're distrustful of anyone's radical plans for the future most people here don't want an abrupt reshuffling of everything they prefer incremental improvement that's why we've had only one revolution it's why we fought off the metric system all these years and thank heaven we have it's why we still have christmas and always will christmas in america is great even if you don't really understand what it's about and many people don't it's still the happiest time of the year and therefore it's the most american america is a happy country despite everything our happiness is fundamental it's in our founding documents it's in our people nothing happening tonight can take that away
