The Tucker Carlson Show

It was a pretty good book written about it several years ago, I would say, called Ship of Fools. Sorry.

I completely repudiate that. I'm with Tom Holland, you know, not SpiderMan, but the popular historian Tom Holland. It's a book called Dominion.

I like Paulo Aquila books a lot. And he's famous for The Alchemist, but he's written a bunch of other little side quest books. I read Hippie recently and I thought, I don't know what this guy looks like.

Simone de Beauvoir, who's a Marxist writing in the postwar period. Her book came out, The Second Sex, but she's just taking a totally idiotic Marxist framework and applying it to women and men.

And it all grew out of or was crystallized by a book called The Bell Curve. Have you heard of this?

Tony Blinken is a staff guy who in the old, you know, organization book, The Peter Principle by Dr. Peter, you rise up to your level of incompetence. Well, he's risen to beyond his level of incompetence, as has Jake Sullivan and several of the other people.

I read a book called Denial of Death. It was written years ago by an author who won a Pulitzer and later died of cancer. I don't agree with it; I think it's kind of psychoanalytic babble and I found it didn't resonate with me.

If you go back and read Hobbes' Leviathan, even though he's making an argument for secular government, ninetenths of it is couched in biblical language.

it's kind of hard to have--it's like I have lots of opinions about Anna Karenina, but I've read it. It's just worth reading the document, and it's long. It took me 15 months to read it or 14 months, but no one has read it.

I don't know how much of his biography by Isaacson is true.

people always ask me, what's your favorite book of the Bible? I love Leviticus. They're like, what? Really? And I'm like, yeah. I love to read it on a flight; it's like reading the instructions on a Monopoly game.

My mom would read the Psalms and Proverbs in particular because it's very inviting. I like the Proverbs because it unpacks the wisdom of God.

No one ever read Das Kapital. I mean, the whole thing is, it's nonsense.

Our democracy is under attack. The perpetrators of this attack are those who in the name of saving our democracy are destroying it.

I don't use these words lightly every one of us who loves this country and who cherishes peace and freedom should be very alarmed by those who driven by their insatiable hunger for power are actively undermining all that we stand for.

It's a very interesting story and she's written it in a book that has just come out For Love of Country leave the Democratic Party behind and she's joining us today to explain what exactly happened in her life.

Tulsi is one of the most rock solid honorable people I've ever met

the Democrat party and those in charge of it are now the party of the elite who are way out of touch with the experience of everyday working people across this country

Elizabeth Warren ... wrote a wonderful book on this called The Two-Income Trap.

What's interesting though is that typically when you see these moments of scapegoating which are clearly you know kind of inherent to people I mean they pop up in every society at every time through history like there's something in people that wants to separate a small group and like blame all its problems on that group but it's usually a minority of course you know the persecuted minority.

Whites are still for at least as of today probably change soon of course but they're still the majority in the country so like have you ever seen anything like that happen?

really ultimately this is a legitimizing ideology for ultimately resource transfer and resource confiscation and that takes the form of some of this reparations conversation or land back or some of these other things and they sort of start out on the extreme left and everybody goes oh well that's silly that's never going to happen and then all the sudden you know it is happening and you're a racist if you think it's a bad idea.

I think one of the encouraging things is that we're beginning to see people and and you've really been a stalwart on this but there've been there've been other folks in the media environment folks like Matt Walsh and Charlie Kirk and there have been politicians guys like JD Vance who are kind of now speaking up and they aren't just saying like hey it's it's fine you know you can go to discriminate against white people and that's fine we're not going to say anything or we're going to be too caged we're going to be too intimidated I've really seen an improvement in the dialogue just in the time even I've been writing this book but at the same time there's still a long way to go before we really kind of reach a point where we can have a candid conversation on about this stuff that is actually based on reality rather than a left-wing fantasy.

I think that the left is definitely accelerating I mean as it becomes less and less true to speak of any sort of white systemic racism the left is just amping up their their conversation about that you know their their rhetoric around that at the same time I think there is more resistance that I just touched on and you and others have really been in some ways at the forefront of that which I'm very thankful for but I kind of feel like the best case that's realistic is that to use a kind of cold war analogy we move to what's called a mutually assured destruction and that keeps us safe so what the left has to understand is when they use this type of racial rhetoric that is scapegoating whites that is blaming everything on whites that is saying white people are kind of the cause of all problems or that are going on in this country that they need to understand that there's going to be a very painful and direct political blowback to them for doing that and that requires us to organize on our side to say to actually arrange that type of blowback to make them understand their cost of that type of racist rhetoric that they're using and then if that happens they may say whoa okay you know what maybe it's best that we kind of cool this off that we don't use this type of rhetoric that really what we want to do is sort of take race out of the public dialogue in this way we're not going to scapegoat whites anymore because we understand that that creates a politically painful scenario for us as well but to create that sort of thing which I think would ultimately lead to racial peace and would allow us to talk about these things that as you you know would be much more important and things that we should all be caring about far beyond race we need to be a credible a credible deterrent to them we need to show that we're not going to put up with what the sort of behavior that they've been engaging in that's why I wrote my book The Unprotected Class and I sort of suggest in the book that you know ways that we can go to get there

There are three books that built this nation, the Bible, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

the great big book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which I'm a student of, it says we must surrender our identity as an alcoholic and as a drug addict.

Why is it different now? Except in the Book of Esther. Sure. They're genocided, but whatever.
