SHOCKING.
SHOCKING STORY, THANK YOU.
SO WE SHOULD SAY WE DON’T KNOW
ANYTHING BEYOND WHAT WE JUST
SHOWED YOU.
THE PICTURES, A LOT OF PICTURES
WE JUST PUT UP, WE DON’T KNOW
HOW THIS HAPPENED, WE DON’T KNOW
WHERE IT’S GOING.
NOBODY DOES BENJAMIN HALL IS
CLEARLY RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS THIS
COULD BE A LEGITIMATE DISASTER
FOR EUROPE, BUT OF COURSE THE
INVASION OF UKRAINE ALREADY IS A
LEGITIMATE DISASTER FOR EUROPE
AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.
EUROPE JUST LOST A HUGE
PERCENTAGE OF ITS ENERGY SUPPLY,
WHICH IS NOT A SMALL THING.
WE ARE ALL BEING REMINDED OF
THAT.
SO THE SITUATION APPEARS TO BE
MORE CHAOTIC BY THE DAY,
POSSIBLY EVEN SPINNING OUT OF
CONTROL AND THAT, WE MUST BE
HONEST, IS SHOCKING TO US.
WE’VE BEEN TAKEN BY SURPRISE BY
THE WHOLE THING.
WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO
WERE BUT WE ARE WILLING TO ADMIT
IT.
THE ONLY THING MORE EMBARRASSING
THAN BEING WRONG IN YOUR
ESTIMATES IS PRETENDING THAT YOU
WEREN’T, SO WHY DIDN’T WE SEE
THIS COMING, THIS TOTAL LOSS OF
CONTROL?
WELL, BECAUSE WE ASSUMED THAT IF
THINGS WERE DIRE, SERIOUS PEOPLE
WOULD BE INVOLVED IN FIXING
THEM.
WE LOOKED UP AND WE SAW
KAMALA HARRIS INVOLVED, AND THAT
REASSURED US.
HARRIS HAD JUST COME BACK FROM
EUROPE WHERE SHE HAD BEEN
CONDUCTING "DIPLOMACY" WITH OUR
ALLIES, AND THAT APPEARED TO BE
PROOF THIS COULD NOT REALLY BE A
BIG DEAL.
IF THE SITUATION IN UKRAINE HAD
BEEN LEGITIMATE WITH SERIOUS.
IF THE FUTURE OF EUROPE IN THE
WORLD HUNG IN THE BALANCE AS NOW
SO OBVIOUSLY IT DOES, OF COURSE
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WOULD
NOT HAVE SENT KAMALA HARRIS TO
FIX IT, BECAUSE THAT’S NOT HER
JOB.
OF KAMALA HARRIS’ JOB IS TO TROT
DOWN TO THE BLUE ROOM TO GREET
DELEGATIONS OF TIKTOK
INFLUENCERS OR CUT OCCASIONAL
PSA’S FOR CHILDREN’S DENTAL
HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH, WHICH IS
IN FEBRUARY, SO WE ASSUME SHE
WILL BE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT
NOW BUT AVERTING WAR WITH
RUSSIA, SAVING THE CIVILIZED
WORLD?
COME ON, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT
KAMALA HARRIS ’US JOB.
THAT WAS OUR ASSUMPTION.
BUT, AS NOTED, WE WERE WRONG.
WHY WERE WE WRONG?
WELL, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME
WATCHING KAMALA HARRIS.
YOU PROBABLY DON’T UNLESS YOU
ARE JUNIOR PRODUCER AT MSNBC,
YOU’RE PROBABLY NOT THAT
FAMILIAR WITH KAMALA HARRIS.
WE SHOULD SAY, BY THE WAY, WE
DIDN’T UNDERESTIMATE
VLADIMIR PUTIN, WE OVERESTIMATED
JOE BIDEN.
BUT WE KNEW THAT ONCE
KAMALA HARRIS WAS INVOLVED, IT
COULDN’T REALLY BE THAT SERIOUS,
AND WE KNEW THAT BECAUSE THIS IS
WHAT SHE’S LIKE.
>> IT IS TIME FOR US TO DO WHAT
WE HAVE BEEN DOING, AND THAT
TIME IS EVERYDAY.
EVERY DAY IT IS TIME FOR US TO
AGREE.
THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT THE
BORDER, WE’VE BEEN TO THE
BORDER.
WE’VE BEEN TO THE BORDER.
>> YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO THE
BORDER.
>> AND I HAVEN’T BEEN TO EUROPE.
IN MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE/HER/HERS.
LOOKED DOWN AT ME, WHAT YOU
WANT, WHAT YOU WANT?
AND I LOOK BACK UP AND I SAID
FREEDOM!
[LAUGHTER]
>> YOU’RE GOING TO LITERALLY SEE
THE CRATERS ON THE MOON WITH
YOUR OWN EYES!
WITH YOUR OWN EYES!
I’M TELLING YOU!
>> WE MUST TOGETHER WORK
TOGETHER TO SEE WHERE WE ARE,
WHERE WE ARE HEADED, BUT ALSO
SEE IT AS A MOMENT, YES,
TOGETHER.
IT IS THE PERSPECTIVE OF A WOMAN
WHO GREW UP A BLACK CHILD IN
AMERICA WHO WAS ALSO A
PROSECUTOR, WHO ALSO HAS A
MOTHER WHO ARRIVED HERE AT THE
AGE OF 19 FROM INDIA WHO ALSO,
YOU KNOW, LIKE HIP-HOP.
[LAUGHS]
WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW?
[LAUGHS]
>> Tucker: THIS IS JUST NOT A
SERIOUS PERSON.
NOT SURROUNDED BY SERIOUS PEOPLE
AND YET WE ARE IN AN EXTREMELY
SERIOUS MOMENT THAT DEMANDS
SERIOUSNESS.
OF COURSE WE MUST TOGETHER WORK
TOGETHER TO SEE WHERE WE ARE
GOING TOGETHER BUT ALSO SEE
THERE’S A MOMENT TOGETHER.
IF YOU’VE TAKEN PEYOTE, YOU KNOW
WHAT SHE MEANS.
OTHERWISE YOU’RE PROBABLY
BAFFLED.
IT’S TIME FOR US TO DO WHAT
WE’VE BEEN DOING, AND THAT TIME
IS EVERYDAY.
IT’S LIKE A POEM, BUT THE
ILLITERATE VERSION.
WHEN KAMALA HARRIS SPEAKS GET
THE FEELING YOU’RE EITHER TOO
DUMB OR TO SMART.
HE SETTLED FROM THEM A LETTER.
WHAT DO OUR EUROPEAN ALLIES
THINK OF THIS?
THEY COME TO THE SAME
CONCLUSION.
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO AS ALL
THIS WAS BREWING, ON THE BRINK,
THETHE BIDEN MINISTRATIONS AT TH
PERSON, KAMALA HARRIS, TO
REPRESENT UNITED STATES AT THE
SECURITY CONFERENCE IN GERMANY
AND WHILE SHE WAS THERE SHE
ASSURED THE WORLD THAT SHE AND
JOE BIDEN HAD THE SITUATION
COMPLETELY UNDER CONTROL.
YES PUTIN WOULD LIKE TO INVADE
UKRAINE, COURSE HE WOULD BUT NOT
ON HER WATCH, NOT WHAT SHE WAS
ON THE SAME CONTINENT, THIS
CONTINENT KNOWN AS EUROPE.
NO WAY.
HARRIS EXUDED WHAT NOVELIST
CARLA STEELE IT WAS OFF.
IMAGINE BEING IN LINE FOR A SHOE
SALE ON BLACK FRIDAY, SHE HAD
THAT LOOK, SHE KNEW WHAT SHE
WANTED AND SHE KNEW WHERE TO
FIND IT.
AND HERE IS HOW SHE EXPRESSED
THAT RESULT.
THIS IS A VERBATIM QUOTE.
"PERHAPS THIS IS A MOMENT AS
LIFE DOES PRESENT US WITH THOSE
MOMENTS THAT CHALLENGE US TO ASK
WHAT IS OUR REASON FOR BEING,
AND HE THINK WE ALL KNOW THE
HISTORY OF NATO AND ITS REASON
FOR BEING.
THE SPIRIT BEHIND THE TERM WE
USE MEANING A COLLECTION, NOT A
COLLECTION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO
SEE THEMSELVES AS A COLLECTION
THEN IS ONE, THAT’S WHERE WE ARE
NOW WAS QUOTE.
SO IF THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES INTERRUPTS AN
ADULT SECURITY CONFERENCE TO
TALK LIKE THAT, YOU CONCLUDE
THAT WHATEVER CRISIS THEY’RE
TALKING ABOUT AT THE CONFERENCE
COULDN’T BE IMMINENT.
THEY MUST HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO
FIX IT, AND THAT’S WHY THEY CAN
AFFORD TO SEND KAMALA HARRIS IN
THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE IT’S
ACTUALLY NOT AS BIG A DEAL AS IT
SEEMS.
CLEARLY THE WHITE HOUSE MUST SEE
THE EUROPEAN HEADS OF STATE AS
EQUIVALENT TO TIKTOK INFLUENCERS
AND THIS IS SOME KIND OF
FOLLOW-UP.
THAT’S WHAT WE CONCLUDED.
HOW COULD WE NOT CONCLUDE THAT?
AND THEN THERE WAS THIS CLUE.
THE DAY AFTER KAMALA HARRIS SAID
THE WORDS WE JUST READ, TALKED
ABOUT HER REASON FOR BEING, THE
DAY AFTER SHE SAID THAT, SHE
ESPECIALLY ENCOURAGED UKRAINE TO
JOIN NATO.
"I APPRECIATE AND ADMIRE
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY’S DESIRE TO
JOIN NATO."
SHE SAID THAT AT A PRESS EVENT.
WE SAW THAT WE THOUGHT I WAS
THERE THE BIDEN PEOPLE MUST HAVE
THIS UNDER CONTROL IN SOME WAY
WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT.
THEY MUST HAVE SOME SECRET BACK
CHANNEL TO PUTIN.
IF THEY MUST’VE BEEN FULLY
ASSURED THAT SAYING SOMETHING SO
UNBELIEVABLY INFLAMMATORY IS NOT
GOING TO PUSH PUTIN TO INVADE
UKRAINE.
WE ASSUMED THAT.
HOW CAN IT BE OTHERWISE?
IT’S THE UNITED STATES, IT’S A
REAL COUNTRY.
THE IDEA THAT UKRAINE MIGHT JOIN
NATO OBVIOUS WHAT CAUSED THIS
CRISIS IN THE FIRST PLACE,
WHATEVER YOU THINK OF IT.
WE KNOW BECAUSE WE HAVE WATCHED
FOR YEARS THE MORE WESTERN
LEADERS PUSHED THE IDEA OF
UKRAINE IN NATO, THE CLOSER
RUSSIANS CAME TO INVADING
UKRAINE.
IT’S NOT A DEFENSE OF THAT, IT’S
AN OBSERVATION OF IT, THAT’S
TRUE.
SO I’VE EASILY NO SANE PERSON
WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT
WITH RUSSIAN TROOPS MASSED ON
THE UKRAINIAN BORDER.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO WANT AN
INVASION OF UKRAINE TO SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND AT THE
TIME WE DIDN’T THINK THEY DID
WANT THAT SO WE GOT IT
COMPLETELY WRONG.
AND HONESTLY WE CONTINUE TO GET
IT WRONG EVER SINCE.
WE ASSUMED THAT ONCE
KAMALA HARRIS HUMILIATED THE
UNITED STATES IN MUNICH AND
JEOPARDIZED ITS CORE INTERESTS,
THAT MAYBE HER BOSS, JOE BIDEN,
WOULD REALIZE MAYBE BORDER
SARTRE THING.
A BEACH WANT TO KEEP THE BORDER
BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES FROM BEING
VIOLENT, MAYBE DON’T SEND
KAMALA HARRIS.
KAMALA HARRIS BELIEVES BOARDERS
ARE RACIST OR SOMETHING SO I WAS
THAT’S HARD FOR HER TO PROTECT
BOARDERS.
A STRANGE PERSONAL CHOICE.
BIDEN HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A
WHILE, YOU THINK YOU WOULD KNOW
THE KEY TO GOOD MANAGEMENT IS
MATCHING THE KEY PERSON WITH THE
JOB.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO
DATE MONTEL WILLIAMS, MAYBE
SHE’S THE PERSON YOU WOULD
CHOOSE.
SHE COULD BE A SOLID CHOICE,
SHE’S DONE IT BEFORE.
DATING MONTEL WILLIAMS -- YOU
KNOW -- IS SOMETHING THAT’S
WITHIN HER RANGE OF EXPERIENCE.
SHE GOOD AT IT?
WE CAN’T SAY.
BUT THIS NEW GIG, DE-ESCALATING
A WORLD-ENDING CONFLICT WITH THE
NUCLEAR ROGUE STATE?
NO.
NO, NOT WHEN NUCLEAR REACTORS
ARE ON FIRE.
BUT THEY’RE DOING IT ANYWAY.
HUMILIATING OUR COUNTRY,
JEOPARDIZING OUR SAFETY AND THE
FUTURE OF THE WORLD.
KAMALA HARRIS IS NOW THE POINT
PERSON ON UKRAINE.
SHE’S GOT THE UKRAINE PORTFOLIO.
WHAT IS SHE DOING WITH A
PORTFOLIO?
STARTING AT THE BEGINNING,
EXPLAINING THINGS TO THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC, IF THE WORLD
ECONOMY IS GOING TO COLLAPSE AND
ARE NO LONGER GOING TO BE ABLE
TO AFFORD MEAT FOR DINNER, IF
EUROPE IS NOT GOING TO HAVE
POWER, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW
WHY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO, THEY
ASSURE YOU, WITH THE CRIMINAL
NEGLIGENCE OF PEOPLE
KAMALA HARRIS HARRIS AND
JOE BIDEN.
NO, IT’S BECAUSE OF A PLACE
CALLED UKRAINE.
LISTEN.
>> BREAK IT ON THE LAYMAN TERMS
FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND
WHAT’S GOING ON AND HOW CAN THIS
DIRECTLY AFFECT THE PEOPLE OF
THE UNITED STATES.
>> SO UKRAINE IS A COUNTRY IN
EUROPE.
IT EXISTS NEXT TO ANOTHER
COUNTRY CALLED RUSSIA.
RUSSIA IS A BIGGER COUNTRY.
RUSSIA IS A POWERFUL COUNTRY.
RUSSIA DECIDED TO INVADE A
SMALLER COUNTRY CALLED UKRAINE.
SO BASICALLY THAT’S WRONG.
>> Tucker: IF YOU ARE
PATRONIZING PEOPLE TO THAT
DEGREE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS
THIS SERIOUS, YOU SHOULD NOT BE
IN A POSITION OF LEADERSHIP.
TRANSLATION, I’VE NEVER READ A
BOOK IN MY LIFE, I’M ASSUMING
YOU HAVEN’T EITHER.
THAT’S TALK.
UKRAINE IS A COUNTRY IN EUROPE.
RIGHT, FOLLOWING YOU,
KAMALA HARRIS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
WATCHING THIS, MAYBE YOU’RE
STARTING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
WHOLE POINT OF THE SAID
ADMINISTRATION IS.
THE TERMS OF THAT AGENDA, ONLY
THE LEAST CAPABLE ARE ALLOWED TO
ASSUME POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY IN
THE UNITED STATES.
THAT IS HOW PEOPLE TO JUDGE A
GUY WHO CAN BARELY DRIVE HIS OWN
CAR, WOUND UP IN CHARGE OF ALL
OF OUR ROADS.
AND SO ALL THIS PEOPLE GOT THEIR
JOBS.
IT WAS INTENTIONAL.
WASHINGTON HAS WORKED THIS WAY
TO SOME EXTENT FOR A LONG TIME.
IT’S JUST THAT UNDER THIS
PRESIDENT, THE PRINCIPAL HAS
REACHED ITS HORRIBLE BUT LOGICAL
END POINT.
THE LAST PRESIDENT HIRED
MICHAEL COHEN TO BE HIS PERSONAL
LAWYER BUT THE DEFENSES
DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T MAKE
MICHAEL COHEN THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNIT
STATES.
BIDEN WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THAT
AS LONG AS THEY WERE
TRANSGENDER.
IT SHOULDN’T SURPRISE YOU, IT
SHOULD HORRIFY YOU THAT
ACCORDING TO THE NEWSPAPER,
KAMALA HARRIS IS GOING BACK TO
EUROPE TO SEE HOW MUCH WORSE SHE
CAN MAKE THIS DISASTER.
SHE WILL BE HEADING TO WARSAW,
POLAND, AND ROMANIA TO "SHOW
SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE, WHICH
MEANS TO BADLY DAMAGE KEY
AMERICAN INTERESTS IN THE
INVENTIVE NEW WAYS YOU HAVEN’T
YET IMAGINED.
THAT’S WHAT’S GOING ON.
A CRISIS THAT GETS MORE GRAVE BY
THE DAY WHOSE RAMIFICATIONS ARE
CLEARLY MORE SERIOUS THAN ANYONE
EXPECTED, OVERSEEN BY PEOPLE WHO
HAVE NO WISDOM OR FORESIGHT OR
RESTRAINT, AND FUNDAMENTALLY
DON’T HAVE THE INTEREST OF OUR
COUNTRY AT HEART WHEN THEY MAKE
