Tucker Carlson: ‘Pride’ is a ‘religious war’ that may bring same fate as Sodom and Gomorrah

Sections

In a less than five-minute Twitter monologue on Friday, Tucker Carlson unpacked the possible ramifications of the “Pride” campaign and its violation of “rules that no human being made, but that people could ignore only at their peril, at great risk.”

Using Richard “Rachel” Levine, a man “identifying” as a woman, as a symbol, Carlson observed that the “Pride” campaign being imposed by the powerful is “just another religious war” between “the people who think they’re God versus everybody else,” and the first category includes “virtually everybody… in a position of authority in the United States."

“In primitive civilizations – which would include every civilization since the beginning of time until ours – people assumed there were rules,” which came from a higher power and were thus unchangeable and dangerous to breach, he said.

“Some called these rules nature or natural law, or even as societies advanced, theology. But most of the time people didn’t call them anything. They didn’t have to. There wasn’t a debate about whether the rules were real,” the former Fox News television titan observed.

“People assumed there were consequences to pretending that you were God. They thought Sodom and Gomorrah were real places that were destroyed for disobedience,” he said, referring to the account in Genesis 19 when God destroyed these cities with “brimstone and fire” for the sins of unnatural sexual practices.

Such peoples “imagined the same thing could happen to them” if they violated God’s law, Carlson said.

“Not anymore. Rick Levine doesn’t worry about being punished by forces he can’t see. He knows he’s in charge. He makes the rules. He sets the limits. Reality is what he says it is. That’s his view. And he shares it with virtually everybody else in a position of authority in the United States,” he continued.

“That’s a pretty bold bet, really,” Carlson observed. “For 7 million years, human beings have believed one thing, presumably based on some evidence. Around 2015, they became convinced of something completely different.”

“Are they right? It feels like we’re going to find out soon,” he concluded.

A full, unofficial transcript of Carlson’s remarks is below:

Tucker on Twitter, Episode 8: Rick from Boston is telling us he wants to be known as female Admiral Rachel Levine. Accept his lie or pay the consequences, bigot.

Hey, it’s Tucker Carlson. Belmont Hill is a small private school outside of Boston. It’s not famous for its athletics. The school’s mascot isn’t even an animal. It’s an eighteenth century navigational tool, the Belmont Hill Sextons. It doesn’t even make sense. So when it comes to sports, Belmont Hill is not trying very hard.

But the school’s athletic program can claim at least one important footnote to history. In 1975, its football roster contained two names you will recognize even now: Mark Milley and Richard Levine. Milley is now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Levine, of course, is our country’s most famous admiral. Both transitioned late in life into overweight, middle-aged women. Both wound up working as high-level officials in the Joe Biden administration. Their teammates at the all-boys school in Boston probably wouldn’t have predicted any of that.

Here’s what Rick Levine looks like now for a video he just posted on Instagram.

Video Clip of Rick Levine: Hello, my name is Admiral Rachel Levine, and I have the honor of being the assistant secretary for health at the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Happy Pride. Happy Pride Month and actually let’s declare it a summer of Pride. Happy Summer of Pride.

“Happy Summer of Pride!” Rick Levine is so darn proud, he’d like to tell you about it all summer and possibly into the fall. He’s got a lot to be proud of. What specifically, you ask? Well, strangely, he doesn’t say. Nor does he mention his former wife or children. He doesn’t tell us whether they’re proud too. Since none of them have been invited on the Today Show to talk about their feelings, we’re going to have to guess.

For now, we’re going to assume that his former family is proud. And why wouldn’t they be? Few Americans in our history has come as far as Rick Levine. Here’s a fat guy in a Halloween costume who somehow became a federal health minister. Not a small thing. You try that.

Not so long ago, this same man was a married pediatrician with kids lecturing about eating disorders at Penn State. Now he’s emerged as a path-breaking lady admiral with medals on his chest. And he did all of that without winning a single naval battle or even being female. It’s pretty inspiring.

What we have here is living proof that in this country you really can be whatever you want to be. If Rick Levine can become Admiral Rachel, why can’t you be Napoleon or Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India? Ever see that guy’s uniform? Or why not Shaka, the legendary Zulu war chief? You can bring your assegai and leopard hide shield to work at Deloitte and no one would be allowed to say a word about it. The HR department would have your back.

She’s the one who was smashed glass ceilings, you’ve just got some kind of weird fetish.

So, actually, now that we’re saying this out loud, it’s pretty clear that Rick Levine has no interest in liberating you from anything. This is not about liberation. It’s just the opposite. It’s just another religious war, same as all the others. The people who think they’re God versus everybody else. In primitive civilizations – which would include every civilization since the beginning of time until ours – people assumed there were rules. Rules that no human being made, but that people could ignore only at their peril, at great risk. Some called these rules nature or natural law, or even as societies advanced, theology.

But most of the time people didn’t call them anything. They didn’t have to. There wasn’t a debate about whether the rules were real. People assumed there were consequences to pretending that you were God. They thought Sodom and Gomorrah were real places that were destroyed for disobedience. They imagined the same thing could happen to them.

Not anymore. Rick Levine doesn’t worry about being punished by forces he can’t see. He knows he’s in charge. He makes the rules. He sets the limits. Reality is what he says it is. That’s his view. And he shares it with virtually everybody else in a position of authority in the United States. That’s a pretty bold bet, really.

For seven million years, human beings have believed one thing, presumably based on some evidence. Around 2015, they became convinced of something completely different. Are they right? It feels like we’re going to find out soon.
