1
Have there been threats?
2
Have there been?
3
Yeah, of course there have been.
4
Are you kidding?
5
Aren't you used to that?
6
Like, you're outspoken on a lot of stuff, right?
7
Like, for many, many, many years, this can't be new to you.
8
Well, you're never going to hear me whine about threats ever to me because I got on this voluntarily.
9
I know what the, I mean, I got fired after 15 years, the highest rated show in American cable television.
10
And I got fired for my opinion.
11
So I, and I'm not whining at all.
12
I'm so grateful that I got fired.
13
I'm just saying you it's not like I didn't know what the price is.
14
I do know what the price is.
15
Charlie Kirk was murdered.
16
Yeah.
17
And he was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism.
18
Obviously, he was, I believe, and most people who knew him well, as I did and was friends with him,
19
as I was, believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel.
20
So I get it.
21
And a lot's at stake.
22
The world is at stake.
23
But from my perspective, I have a duty to say what I think is true.
24
I'm often wrong.
25
And I always say that because it's a fact.
26
I have been wrong a lot and I may be wrong now, but I am sincere.
27
I'm saying what I believe is true and I'm going to continue doing that no matter what.
28
Does it give you pause ever being so forthright with your opinions when it comes to your family?
29
Yeah, I mean, this is a conversation that, you know, we've been having internal.
30
I have a very large family internally in my family for, you know, more than a decade.
31
And, you know, obviously we've had, you know, small and in some, a few cases, very large, you know, problems because of this,
32
but, you know, we've made our peace with it, I think.
33
And I'm very close family.
34
So that's, I'm grateful for that above all things.
35
And I'm really, really grateful for it.
36
Close to all my children, all my extended family, very close.
37
So yeah, no, I mean, I'm not, I just want to be clear, I'm not complaining and I'm unlike the people who are calling me an anti-Semite or a racist or whatever.
38
I don't see myself as a victim.
39
I don't think victimhood is inherently virtuous i find
40
that whole way of communicating
41
and of covering up crimes disgusting i don't respect it at all i think it's feline
42
and um and really kind of beneath contempt oh you're you know someone will attack you
43
or threaten you literally up to threatening your life and as he's doing that claim that he's the victim of bias.
44
And, you know, I just reject that.
45
That's not the culture that I come from.
46
I think that's dishonorable.
47
That's not the American way to do things at all.
48
That's not the way I was raised.
49
I will never act like that.
50
And I look down on anyone else who does act like that.
51
In terms of a read from the American people off if they feel the same way as you do, and maybe some of the others that have have moved away from the Republican Party
52
and moved away from President Trump because of the war and these issues.
53
Do you think
54
that the midterms are going to be like the the first
55
chance for us to get a temperature read of how the American people are feeling towards Trump
56
and some of these issues that you're talking about?
57
Well, the poll numbers now tell a pretty clear story about it.
58
I would not support the Republican Party.
59
There's no chance I would support the Republican Party.
60
I'm not going to support the Democratic Party.
61
I don't know what I'm going to do.
62
But at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States
63
that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens.
64
Like that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that.
65
And I'm not going to.
66
And I think I voted Republican my entire life.
67
I worked at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC.
68
I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party.
69
I mean, very consistent defender, but there's no defending this because it's immoral.
70
And it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters,
71
its own citizens, its own nation.
72
And they're not doing that.
73
So, no, I'm out.
74
And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out.
75
Well, I mean, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who I know that you're close with, is also out.
76
I was working at a not the CBC, another network, and I covered the 2016 campaign and we went all across the United States.
77
And by the end, when I was in New York City, I thought to myself, OK, Donald Trump is going to win.
78
I had an understanding at that point in time of what the MAGA movement was.
79
What is your definition today of what MAGA now means?
80
I never understood it.
81
I mean, I think there was a strong latent desire in the hearts of a lot of Americans to improve the country, make America great again.
82
So on a literal level, you know, people wanted that.
83
They still want it.
84
I still want it.
85
But it was imprecise by design design.
86
So the phrase America first, however, which has kind of been retired, you don't hear that very often, is precise.
87
Just put your own country first as you make decisions as a leader of your country.
88
And that's very obvious.
89
It's hard to imagine that any leader would use any other standard to make decisions.
90
Of course, just like a father makes decisions, what's best for my family?
91
A leader has to make decisions on the same basis, but they don't use that anymore because, of course they're making decisions on the basis of other criteria.
92
What's best for this company?
93
What's best for Israel?
94
What's best for our donors?
95
I mean, you know, that's, I just want to say again, that's unacceptable.
96
That's not just like they're off in the wrong direction.
97
Like that is unacceptable.
98
That's treasonous.
99
It's immoral.
100
It can't continue.
101
You can't have a government that calls itself democratic, a democratic republic in our case, that is representing interests outside the country.
102
Like, that's just insane.
103
When folks say, OK, well, all of this stuff, if you take this and what Tucker Carlson has been saying on this issue, it amounts to anti-Semitism.
104
You have said you're not anti-Semitic, that you oppose what the state of Israel is doing right now, and you have a problem where the U.S government stands.
105
I just wonder, though, if you feel any kind of responsibility in terms of how your audience takes this away, and if they interpret this as anti-Semitic and that perpetuates it.
106
I mean, I couldn't have been clearer.
107
I have been, almost every single time I address this, I say I'm a Christian.
108
I don't think, I think it is immoral.
109
It's against my religion to judge people on the basis of their blood, the story of the New Testament,
110
the gospel is the story of each individual's relationship with God, not a group, but an individual.
111
So that's the essence of my worldview and of my religious faith.
112
So yeah, I oppose antisemitism as I oppose all forms of racism.
113
But I don't really think the onus is on me to apologize for a crime I didn't commit.
114
The onus is on the policymakers and advocates
115
and members of the media in the United States who are
116
more loyal to a foreign country than they are to the country
117
that I live in and that my children were born and that my ancestors helped build.
118
And those are the betrayers.
119
And so it is the claim that it's racist or anti-Semitic or whatever, the lie, the slander is designed to change the conversation,
120
the guilt trajectory from the guilty to the innocent.
121
And I'm just, I'm over it.
122
I'm not intimidated in the slightest.
123
I'm not an anti-Semite.
124
I don't work for anybody.
125
I don't have any personal debt.
126
I'm not beholden to anybody on this earth.
127
And so I'm going to continue to say what I think is true.
128
And what I think the overwhelming majority of Americans know in their hearts is true, which is this is disgusting.
129
And it's just a classic, it's a classic maneuver where I get caught doing something rather than admit what I'm doing or apologize for it.
130
I attack you.
131
I have children.
132
I know how this works.
133
Kids do this, but I'm not fooled by it and I'm not afraid of it.
134
And I'm certainly not going to be intimidated into shutting up because of it ever.

Consigli per la pratica
Quando pratichi con il video, trova un momento per ascoltare attentamente il discorso di Tucker. Inizia a shadowing in inglese ripetendo fragmente brevi per volta. A causa del suo ritmo sostenuto, è utile rallentare il video o mettere in pausa dopo ogni frase per assicurarti di catturare la pronuncia e l'intonazione giusti. Se sei a tuo agio, prova a registrarti mentre parli e confronta la tua pronuncia con quella di Tucker. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e a comprendere il significato emotivo dietro le sue parole. Ricorda, l’obiettivo è non solo ripetere, ma anche imparare l'inglese con youtube in modo attivo, cercando di esprimere le tue opinioni con autenticità e chiarezza.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
