Tucker Carlson discusses the arrest of Donald Trump, painting a picture of a political and ideological war that has been brewing in Washington for years.
Tucker on Twitter: Ep. 3 America's principles are at stake
In a recent episode, Tucker Carlson discusses the arrest of Donald Trump, painting a picture of a political and ideological war that has been brewing in Washington for years. He argues that Trump's arrest is not just a political move but an ideological one aimed at silencing dissenting voices and maintaining the status quo in Washington.
"The prosecution of Donald Trump is transparently political. He's literally Joe Biden's main political opponent. He's pulling over 60% among Republican voters right now. So Joe Biden is doing what no president has ever dared to do. He's using law enforcement to lock up his chief rival that's happening right now."
— Tucker Carlson, Ep. 3
The Arrest of Donald Trump: A Political Move or More?
Tucker begins by discussing the arrest of Donald Trump, an event that he describes as "unprecedented." He argues that this was not a surprise to those who have been paying attention, as it was "inevitable" since Trump made himself an enemy of the federal government. According to Tucker, Trump's arrest is not just a political move, but an ideological one. He suggests that Trump's views, particularly his criticisms of U.S. foreign policy and wars, have made him a target.
"The Biden administration arrested Donald Trump this afternoon they had him arraigned and fingerprinted in a Miami courthouse, like the accused felon he now technically is. These were the first steps in a process that is designed to put Donald Trump behind bars for the rest of his life."
"Nobody with Trump's views is allowed to have power in this country, criticize our wars, and you're disqualified. If you keep it up, we'll send you to prison. That's the message Washington is sending."
— Tucker Carlson, Ep. 3
The Power Dynamics in Washington
Tucker goes on to discuss the power dynamics in Washington, arguing that what matters most is foreign policy, not identity politics or immigration. He suggests that the leaders of both parties support wars, regardless of how foolish or disconnected from America's interests they may be. He also argues that dissent is not allowed in Washington and that Trump's refusal to follow this rule led to his current predicament.
"What matters then and now is foreign policy, the invasions and occupations and proxy wars, the decisions that determine which global populations will thrive, and which will die."
The Role of Flattery and Deception
Tucker also discusses the role of flattery and deception in Washington, using Mike Pompeo as an example. He argues that Pompeo, along with others, flattered Trump while undermining his policies from the inside. He suggests that these individuals are now revealing their true agendas, which align with the neocon war agenda.
"When you saw them in the hallways of the White House and at press conferences, they were there slobbering over their boss with elaborate self-abasement, as if they were addressing a man monarch are a god."
The Destruction of Democracy
Finally, Tucker argues that the prosecution of Trump is a threat to democracy, as it prevents voters from supporting any candidate they want. He suggests that this should concern everyone, regardless of whether they support Trump or not.
"The destruction of our democracy, which is the right voters who support any candidate they want, even candidates who don't want war with Russia. The destruction of that should keep you up at night."
Tucker’s podcast episode paints a picture of a Washington that is more interested in maintaining the status quo and silencing dissenting voices than in upholding democratic principles. He suggests that the arrest of Donald Trump is not just a political move, but an ideological one, aimed at preventing anyone with views like Trump's from having power. This, Tucker argues, is a threat to democracy and should concern everyone, regardless of their political leanings.
“Yes, Donald Trump is a flawed man, but his sins are minor compared to those of his persecutors. In this life. We don't get to choose our martyrs. We can only choose our principles, and America's are at stake.”
— Tucker Carlson, Ep. 3
This Twitter episode by Tucker Carlson provides a thought-provoking perspective on the current political climate in Washington. Regardless of one's political leanings, it raises important questions about the nature of power, the role of dissent, and the health of our democracy. As Carlson suggests, "We don't get to choose our martyrs. We can only choose our principles, and America's are at stake."
Tucker is a rare breed. A man of such integrity as to look within an reassess his values. Admittedly. He is in no way hateful nor bigoted. He is insightful.
What I found most impressive is his uncanny ability to apply psychological profiling when outlining the machinations of manipulation. Including Trump’s need for fawning adulation.Trump was easily fooled time and again.”He/she said nice things about me”.
Sadly, we’ll never live to see a President Carlson. A President Gabbard, President Schactel, President RFK Jr, Giuliani, Flynn, McCullough… we never had the opportunity to vote for a candidate Moynihan, a native born Barbara Jordan. We’ll never hear from Assange, Nathan Cain, Bill Binney, Stephen Hatfill.. we were deprived of hearing from Terry Turchie, Admiral Lyon, Ramon Oswui, Luc Montagnier, Peter Pry,Phil Haney, Kary Mullis, Seth Rich, Andrew Breitbart, Tom Clancy, .. Lara Logan, Sharyl Attkisson, O’Keefe, Matt Taibbi, Frank Gaffney, Michael Shellenberger, Diana West, Chris Farrell, Kash Patel, Brandon Straka, Scott Pressler, Dov Hikind, Richard Pollock, Ami Horowitz, David Horowitz, Dave Reaboi, Jim Hanson, Adm Tata, Zudhi Jasser, Naomi Wolf, Kim Iversen, Andrew Pollack, Ian Cheong, Andy Ngo, Neil Oliver, John Campbell, Marc Marano, Robert Epstein, Russell Brand, RFK Jr, Rob Carson, Patrice Onwuka, Chloe Valdary, Ayaan Hirsi-Al, Jamal Altamini, Asra Nomani, Max Alvarez, Rob Carson, Caitlyn Jenner, Chadwick Moore, Mattias Desmet, John Ionnides, Judy Mikovits, Harvey Risch, Michael Yeadon, Steve Kirsch, Dr Shiva, Simone Gold, Joseph Ladapo, Tom Woods, Michael Levitt, Scott Atlas, Patrick Meryl Nass, Glenn Beck, Mark Steyn, Bret Weinstein, Majid Nawaz, Patrick Ben David,Michael Malice, Walter Block… left, right, center, independent… shut down. This is no longer a war against Conservatives and their constant pity party mantra. It is about those who dare to speak truth to power, regardless of personal ideology.
Yet Tucker hosted many of the aforementioned. He broke through the barrier. That was his crime.
What happened today in Miami with Trump was not an arrest, it was an arraignment. An arraignment is a legal process where the accused is fingerprinted, photographed and then appears in court to enter a plea. If the accused refuses to enter a plea the judge enters a plea of "not guilty" for the accused and in the case of someone like Trump, who is known around the world, the accused is released on his own recognzance.
If you thoght it was impossible to find a Prosecutor worse than Alvin Bragg, guess what? Jack Smith makes Alvin Bragg look like an preschool kid on a play ground for professionals. Neither Bragg nor Smith have the ethics required of a Lawyer and both should be immediately disbarred by their respective State Bar Associations. Both are losers and are trying to play chess with the big boys, but in reality are barely competent at checkers.
Criminal Law 101 at any Law School in America has this saying known by every first year Law Student: "A Federal Prosecutor can indite a ham sandwick for murder!"
Why can they do that? The Federeal Prosecutor is completely in charge of the Fedreal Grand Jury. The Federeal prosecutor can bring charges against the accused. The accused is rarely even given notice of a Federeal Grand Jury Proceeding against him or her. So there is no representation for the accused to show anything in favor of the accused or to counter the misconceptions the Federal Prosecutor brings against the accused. It is the Federal prosecutor's "job" to get indictments by any means necessary and it is the Trial Court's job to allow a defense to be made for the accused.
By the way, I know Trump was not arrested. I just watched him address a group of people, in real time, in Bedminster, N.J. at a little after 8 pm N.J. time, 6/13/2023. It was this morning that Trump appeared at his arraignment in Miami.
