Tucker Carlson · Tucker: “This Was Radicalizing to Me.”

1. 1. Julian Assange was held in Britain for seven years, in an embassy and a maximum-security prison, without ever being charged.
2. 2. Assange's only crime was telling the truth, and he is among the smartest and most decent people the speaker has ever met.
3. 3. Russiagate and the mass hysteria of Trump's first term were a message to populists: we will punish you for Brexit and for electing Trump.
4. 4. Rural America has been punished since 2016: life expectancy has fallen, hospitals have closed, and mass migration has transformed these communities.
5. 5. The liberal democratic system we grew up with has become obsolete, and those who run it no longer believe in its own principles.
6. 6. We are at the very beginning of a new global system that none of us can yet comprehend, which the speaker calls global capitalism.
7. 7. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the global system has no external opponents, so it must consolidate its ideology and destroy internal resistance.
8. 8. The global market erases traditional, religious, and family values because they obstruct the creation of one big global market.
9. 9. People are reacting against the system by rejecting a life with no values, saying they do not want to live in one big market.
10. 10. The speaker is not a communist and loves private property, but he is describing what global capitalism is doing to the world.
