>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT.
YOU REMEMBER WHEN RUSSIA INVADED
UKRAINE IN FEBRUARY.
AT THAT TIME OUR LEADERS TOLD US
THIS WASN’T A FAR AWAY CONFLICT
IN EUROPE THIS.
WAS OUR WAR.
NO MILITARY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
INVADE A SOVEREIGN NATION.
THE INVASION OF UKRAINE COULD
NOT STAND, IT WAS A MATTER OF
FIRST PRINCIPALS.
IT WAS A WORLD HISTORIC BATTLE
WE WERE OBLIGATED TO JOIN.
PUTIN WAS PURE EVIL.
SELF DENYING, BRAVE, HONEST.
VERY HAND SOME.
ZELENSKY WAS FIGHTING FOR THE
SAME IDEALS OUR COUNTRY WAS
FOUNDED ON.
A NUMBER OF NEWS OUTLETS
COMPARED HIM TO GEORGE
WASHINGTON.
THEY TOLD US WITH ONE VOICE
MONTH AFTER MONTH, NO
DISAGREEMENT ALLOWED.
NOT SURPRISINGLY IT WORKED.
AMERICANS FELL HARD FOR
PRESIDENT SELL ZELENSKY.
THEY ALL DID.
EVEN AREAS THAT VOTED AGAINST
JOE BIDEN YOU SAW UKRAINIAN
FLAGS FROM MAIL BOXES.
FOR MANY IT WAS LIKE WORLD WAR
II BEGIN.
THE SAKE OF DEMOCRACY AT HOME.
A YEAR LATER IT’S HARDER AND
HARDER TO BELIEVE ANY OF THIS.
WHATEVER YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAR
ON UKRAINE IT’S CLEAR THAT
ZELENSKY HAS NO INTEREST IN
FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY.
HE’S FAR CLOSER TO LENNON THAN
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
HE’S A DICTATOR.
A DANGEROUS AUTHORITARIAN USING
A HUNDRED BILLION IN U.S. TAX
DOLLARS TO ELECT A ONE-PARTY
POLICE STATE IN UKRAINE.
OVER THE PAST YEAR ZELENSKY HAS
BANNED OPPOSITION PARTIES, SHUT
DOWN PUBLIC MEDIA BY FORCE,
ARRESTED POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND
SENT SOLDIERS INTO CHURCHES.
RAIDED MON TEAR HE’S ACROSS
UKRAINE, EVEN A CONVENT FULL OF
NUNS.
ARRESTED A PRIEST FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, IN CLEAR VIOLATION
WHATSOEVER, IN CLEAR VIOLATION
OF THE UKRAINIAN LAW.
THE UKRAINIANS HAVE NOTHING TO
SAY BUT PUSHING TO SEND HIM MORE
TAX DOLLARS.
ZELENSKY IS MORE BOLDER, WHY
NOT.
LAST WEEK HE ANNOUNCED HIS PLAN
TO BAN AN ENTIRE CHURCH.
HE SAID THIS OUT LOUD.
WATCH THIS.
>> WE HAVE TO CREATE SUCH
CONDITIONS WHEN ANY PEOPLE
DEPENDENT ON THE COUNTRY
AGGRESSOR WON’T BE ABLE TO
MANIPULATE UKRAINIANS AND WEAKEN
UKRAINE WITHIN.
FIRST THE NATIONAL SECURITY AND
DEFENSE COUNCIL INSTRUCTED THE
GOVERNMENT TO SUBMIT TO DRAFT
LAW MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE
RUSSIAN -- TO OPERATE IN THE
UKRAINE.
>> A MAJOR COUNTRY DOESN’T BAN A
RELIGION.
ZELENSKY IS DOING THAT.
THE CABINET IS DEVISING WAYS TO PUNISH CHRISTIANS FOR PRACTICING
PUNISH CHRISTIANS FOR PRACTICING
THEIR BANNED AN IN ANCIENT RELIG
THE UKRAINIAN OATH OFFER ORTHODO
MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS OLD
AND ZELENSKY HAS DECIDED TO BAN
IT. HERE IS THE RESPONSE OF A BISHOP
HERE IS THE RESPONSE OF A BISHOP TO THE NEWS.
>> Tucker: YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO
SEND SOLDIERS INTO CHURCHES.
YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO ARREST
DOZENS OF PRIESTS FOR NOT
BOUGING BEFORE YOU.
YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO BAN
RELIGIONS.
MOST OF THE MEDIA HAVE IGNORED
THIS.
SOME MAKE EXCUSES, HE HAS TO DO
THIS BECAUSE OF A WAR.
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION
WHATSOEVER.
THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA.
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR
STKEFT ROYING AND BANNING THIS
CHURCH.
YET ZELENSKY MANY CELEBRITY
BACKERS IN THE WEST SAY NOTHING
ABOUT IT.
THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
IN MAY THE GREAT GEORGE W. BUSH
MET WITH ZELENSKY ON A ZOOM CALL
AND DESCRIBED HIM THE WINSTON
CHURCHILL OF OUR TIME.
WHERE IS GEORGE W. BUSH ON THIS
QUESTION?
NOW HIS FRIEND HAS BANNED A
FORMER CHRISTIANITY IN THE
COUNTRY.
WELL GEORGE W. BUSH IS SILENT AS
WELL.
AS WELL AS CHRISTIAN MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
THEY BACK HIM.
>> TO THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE, YOU
CAN EXPECT THE CONGRESS TO, TO
BE THERE WITH YOU IN TERMS OF
SUPPORTING YOUR EFFORTS TO
MAINTAIN YOUR FREEDOM.
>> ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO BE
HELPFUL FOR THEM FIGHTING FOR
THEIR FREEDOM.
>> I THINK THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY TURNS.
>> WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEFEND
MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR UKRAINE
TO DEFEND THEIR TERRITORY AND
FREEDOM.
>> THE UNITED STATES WILL
MAINTAIN UNWAVERING SUPPORT.
>> LET’S GET THE JOB DONE TO
SAVE LIVES IN UKRAINE.
>> THE FREE WORLD HAD NO CHOICE.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DEFEND
FREEDOM AROUND THE WORLD.
>> Tucker: AOEFRB SINGLE PERSON
YOU JUST WATCHED HAVE
CAMPAIGNED, MANY MAKE A HABIT OF
CAMPAIGNING, LINDSEY GRAHAM IN
CHURCHES IN THE UNITED STATES.
WILL A SINGLE CHRISTIAN LEADER
SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
IT’S THE COST OF FREEDOM.
REALLY.
THE REALITY IS UKRAINIANS CAN
NOT LISTEN TO MEDIA OUT HR-TS
CRITICIZING SELL IN SKAOEFPLT
THEY’RE BANNED.
THEY CONDITION PLAY MUSIC FROM
RUSSIAN SINGERS.
THIS IS NOT IN TALIBAN THIS IS
THE DEMOCRACY OF UKRAINE.
THEY CAN’T VOTE FOR A OPPOSITION
PARTY BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL SHUT
DOWN.
NOW CHURCHES RAIDED AND PRIESTS
ARRESTED.
THE FACT THIS IS CALDERON
FREEDOM TELLS YOU A LOT OF WHAT
THEY’RE PLANNING HERE.
WHY WOULD YOU DEFEND THIS?
YOU APPROVE OF IT.
UKRAINE DEFENSE MINISTRY HAS
STOPPED SAYING THIS IS ABOUT
FREEDOM.
THEY’RE HAPPY TO BE GETTING PAID
AND CRUSHING ANY OPPOSITION IN
THEIR COUNTRY.
THAT’S WHY UKRAINE IS USING YOUR
TAX DOLLARS TO CHOREOGRAPH DANCE
VIDEOS FOR YOU.
LIKE THE COVID NURSES.
HERE IS ONE OF THEM. ♪
♪
>>
>> Tucker: IT’S JUST GROTESQUE
MODERN PSYOP.
-- THEY’RE JUST HAVING FUN.
THEY’RE BEATING THEIR REAL
ENEMIES ALWAYS DOMESTIC.
TIME MAGAZINE IS ONBOARD WITH
THIS.
THEY INFORMED THEIR FOUR
REMAINING LEADERS THAT ZELENSKY
IS THE PERSON OF THE YEAR.
AND THE CHORUS IS IN FULL
SCREAM.
SAYING THEY BELIEVE ZELENSKY IS
A LOT LIKE THE POPE.
>> ZELENSKY IS BEING FIRED BY
THE POST FUND MENTAL IMPULSES.
TO DEFEND, ARTICULATE, AND TO
FIGHT BACK.
I THINK IT’S ALMOST IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER HE’S A PERFORMER.
THAT’S WHERE HE STARTED.
JOHN PAUL II WAS A PERFORMER.
RONALD REAGAN WAS A PERFORMER.
WINSTON CHURCHILL UNDERSTOOD THE
MEANS OF THE MEDIA OF HIS TIME.
HE UNDERSTOOD THE POWER OF
RADIO.
TPRAEURPBG LINN ROOSEVELT
UNDERSTOOD RADIO.
IT’S NOT COINCIDENTAL THAT GREAT
LEADERS UNDERSTAND.
>>
>> Tucker: GRADE LEADERS . SO IF
THEY DEFEND A MAN SHUTTING DOWN
OPPOSITION MEDIA, ARREST
POLITICAL OPPONENTS, ARREST
PRIESTS, SEND THE ARMY INTO
MONASTERIES AND BAN A RELIGION.
