Tucker Carlson Targets MSNBC's Joy Reid For Downplaying MS-13 Threat
well good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight President Trump gave his
first State of the Union address the first official one anyway last night you
probably saw it the striking thing about this speech was how normal it seemed how
ordinary it was president stuck to the script pretty much to the letter the
result was squarely in the center of American public opinion
you heard broad appeals to national unity calls for strong borders a robust
military you heard warm words for the country's bedrock institutions from the
family to our democratic process outside the faculty lounge most Americans liked
these things they agree with them Donald Trump remains controversial as a person
but the bulk of his positions are not controversial not very check the polling
on that and that may be the key thing to know about our current politics it's
mostly personal if you read a Trump speech and a British accent pretty much
everybody would applaud not everybody but most
people well maybe unfortunately for all of us last night State of the Union was
not delivered in a British British accent Democrats did not applaud in the
modern democratic party everything Donald Trump says is hate speech even
the things the left once agreed with yes Trump has changed the Republican Party a
lot has been written about that but not nearly as much as his administration has
changed Democrats if you just returned from a year abroad prepare yourself you
will not recognize the new democratic party last night Democratic members
refused to stand or clap when Trump raised the national anthem when he
praised military veterans when he pointed out new low black unemployment
numbers some refused to stand for Steve Scalise Louisiana congressman who was
nearly murdered last year by a Bernie Sanders supporter so what is going on
here well obviously they're giving Trump the finger bad manners are now a form of
resistance but what if it's more than that what if Democrats actually don't
like those things anymore what if praising our veterans or a flag
really does enrage the modern left want to tweet during the speech MSNBC host
Joey Reid put it this way quote church family police military the national
anthem Trump trying to call on all the of 1950s era nationalism the goal of
this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of
the bygone era now think about that for a minute
church family police military and love of country are now merely quote tropes
from a bygone era most Americans consider those things the pillars of our
civilization and if you don't agree with that imagine a society without those
things what would it look like how long could it last would you want to live
there joy Reid would so would many of her co-anchors over at MSNBC and our
Harvard classmates and apparently most of the Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill
Church family police military those words disgust them this isn't a
political resistance it's not about Donald Trump
it's nihilism the mindless impulse to tear down which he did not build its
rage at your father translated into political terms a politics that elevates
all that is ugly and decadent and seeks to undermine the decent and the
beautiful and all that came before this isn't a philosophy it's a sickness and
once you catch it you're apt to say things like this it gives a speech
tonight in which he makes it sound like the biggest issue in the United States
the biggest threat is ms-13 a gang no buddy that doesn't watch Fox News has
ever heard of for this president to conflate the dreamers with gang members
he was demonizing our immigrants here and I was offended
so ms-13 is merely something that Fox News created to demonize immigrants
presumably those would be the very same immigrants that gang routinely kills
because they only kill immigrants we don't want to think the left really
believes any of this we're starting to suspect they really do joke entre writes
about media for the hill and he joins us tonight so Joe over on another cable
channel one of the contributors said that she was in effect triggered by the
word family in the speech that was offensive maybe it was a dog whistle or
a code word for something else what did you that that to me kind of crystallized
the response what was your view of it the view overall was who you gonna
believe are you gonna believe polls that were taken by people from people from
across the country by CBS and CNN I get their flash polls you can only hold them
and so much weight and maybe a couple more Republicans watched last night that
answer to this poll that I don't think it's skewed that much so you either
believe then or you believe pundits that primarily do their pontificating from
studios in New York and Washington and almost never venture out and all I could
think of was 2016 in the election and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in Michigan
and the fact that no one got anything close to getting those states right in
terms of that blue wall coming down because no one can gauged through pulse
of the country so we see the analysis today Tucker and last night and then we
compare it to polls that have just astounding numbers as CNN saw its
respondents say the speech was very or somewhat positive it goes higher in CBS
it goes to 75% but here are two key stats 8 and 10 in the CBS poll who
watched felt that the president was trying to unite the country rather than
divide it yet all we heard from pundits was that this was a gloomy and divisive
speech and finally out of the CBS poll put the partisans aside those who
identify as independence 73% saw this speech as positive but if you never
heard about these polls and you watched the coverage today you would think that
this was one of the worst most divisive most darkest speeches most darkest as a
double- darkest speeches that we have ever seen from a president it's almost
as if there's a disconnect between the public and the people are supposed to be
gathering its news and presenting reality to them well yes I mean look at
joy Reid and her saying that ms-13 is a Fox story I think she got her ethnic
stump it's an FBI story as in there on the FBI list it's not like this is just
a gang that you could put together a football team with there are 70,000
members in ms-13 in Long Island not too far from me here in Jersey they
committed twenty five murders according to local authorities since 2016 that's a
big deal when you wonder I mean if you dig down a little bit how many of those
murders were people in your neighborhood or mine let's see zero how many were of
fellow Salvadoran Guatemala and Honduras immigrants a hundred percent of them so
how was it anti-immigrant to oppose a gang that kills immigrants well it kind
of contradicts what the president said the week before which was he extended
is docket proposal to 1.8 million people I mean that that is far more than the
800,000 that we have been hearing so how can he propose something like that and
be anti-immigrant at the same time it's a walking contradiction Tucker so you've
got a wonder I mean is there anyone who's in the at these networks who's
thinking through what life after Trump might look like I mean if you a lien ate
half the country or devalue your credibility with all the country because
they have what happens when he's gone oh boy it's going to be a complete disaster
I would say I mean the only reason why ratings are a little bit higher and
being propelled is because of Donald Trump and obviously the vitriol towards
him and I think what's happening now and I honestly believe this that you have a
lot of pundits particularly Republican pundits that are anti Trump that are
telling their audiences on those networks what they want to hear in
essence comfort food because on their phones afterwards they're checking
Twitter and if they are even remotely contradictory in terms of not being anti
Trump and we still saw this last year with Van Jones after the president's
address to the joint session of Congress he had praised the president said he
looked presidential and he got bullied and destroyed on social media to the
point where he had to go back on the air and say wait a minute let me clarify
what I really said so I think now at this point you have anchors and pundits
that are very very afraid that their audiences will turn on them unless they
say exactly what they want to hear and it's Trump derangement syndrome as well
which you know obviously if you suffer for that for more than four hours go to
a safe space immediately yeah it's an airless room and Twitter makes it worse
so thank you for that thank you god bless you and God bless america
