Tucker Carlson Makes First Speech Since Being Fired - Starts Naming Names

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has made his first public appearance since being ousted

from Fox News and he gave a speech that, well, is going to ruffle some feathers

It really helps the channel out and helps us grow and reach new audiences with our conservative message

So Tucker was speaking at a charity banquet in Alabama for disabled adults with mental

disabilities and he had a lot to say about the media in general, the divisions in the

United States, what he believes is causing them, and he laid a lot of blame at the feet

of the media. Now, Tucker is a longtime member of the media

This can be considered kind of interesting, to say the least, and by many in the media

a betrayal. But Tucker's gotten in trouble for telling the truth. That's been a big part of the issue

Tucker has always been one of the guys that just told you what it was

And so I think what he's saying here actually has a lot of merit

Now, he joked saying that when he first booked this appearance, he didn't know he'd have

so much free time on his hands. And he said it was the first time he ever heard of somebody who got fired being asked

to be a speaker. But he was, of course, asked to be a speaker back in September by this group, long before

he'd been fired and long before anybody imagined that Tucker Carlson could be fired

But let's take a look at some of what he said. American politics is supposed to be designed to improve people's lives

But what's the point of it, actually? As we're worried about these big abstract problems in faraway places, or claiming we

can control the weather or whatever we're claiming, there are kids with developmental

disabilities who have aging parents, and the parents are legit terrified about what happens

when they pass. I'm starting to believe that the divisions we see in our society are pretty much manufactured

And he cited President Obama's first term in office. He said Obama's first term was how we were going to get past race

I didn't vote for the guy, but everybody I knew was excited, and so was I

We elect some guy I disagree with, but we get to the point where we stop picking at

the scab and move forward as one country? Why wouldn't I be for that

As a Christian, I was totally for it. He said, I don't think most Americans hate each other on the basis of their ethnic differences

I think a lot of it is just a lie actually designed to distract people

How many times have one of us said something like that? We're being distracted by something

We're being distracted from something. Something they don't want us to know

I've often said that one of the main things they have going for them, the people in power

is that we keep fighting each other. As long as we keep fighting each other, whether it's based on race or gender or sexual orientation

or transgenderism or whatever it is, whatever we're fighting each other, Democrat versus

Republican, Christian versus Atheist or Muslim and Jew and whatever, whatever we keep fighting

each other about, the people in power laugh because we're doing their dirty work for them

If we get together and actually say, hey, look, we agree on about 95% of things in life

why are we focused on the 5% we don't agree with? We're getting railroaded by people who thrive on us fighting each other

When we as a society can come to that conclusion, when we finally come to that realization

then and only then I think you get change. And that's what I think Tucker was saying here
