>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO
"TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT."
HAPPY MONDAY.
THINGS ARE CHANGING FAST, AS YOU
KNOW, AND YOU CAN TELL HOW FAST
THEY ARE CHANGING BY THE WAY THE
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT POLITICS.
LANGUAGE REFLECTS FEELINGS AND
THOUGHTS.
WHEN YOUR VIEWS CHANGE, SO DOES
THE WAY YOU TALK ABOUT THEM.
THAT’S ESPECIALLY TRUE OF
LIBERALS, WHO HAVE VERY DEEP
FEELINGS, AND THEIR MAIN
FEELING, THIS IS ALWAYS BEEN
TRUE, IS CONTEMPT FOR YOU.
IF YOU EVER LISTEN TO NPR YOU
KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH CONTEMPT
LIBERALS HAVE FOR YOU AND YOU
GET TO PAY FOR IT, NPR TAKES HER
TAX DOLLARS IN ELECTRIC YOU
ABOUT HOW IMMORAL YOU ARE.
THAT IS LIBERALISM DISTILLED.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON LONG TIME.
NPR HAS BEEN RUNNING ITS
PARTICULAR SCAM SINCE 1971, BUT
THE SNEERING TONE YOU HEAR ON
NPR HAS BEEN A HALLMARK OF
LIBERALS.
A CENTURY.
LIBERALS HAVE CONTEMPT FOR
DWIGHT EISENHOWER AFTER BARRY
GOLDWATER AND FOR RICHARD NIXON,
BOY DID THEY, AND FOR
GERALD FORD EVEN.
IF YOU’RE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER
RONALD REAGAN, YOU WILL RECALL
VIVIDLY HOW LIBERALS FELT ABOUT
HIM.
REAGAN WAS AN IDIOT, THEY TOLD
YOU, A MOUTH BREATHER, AND SO
WAS ANYBODY WHO WOULD VOTE FOR
HIM, VERY MUCH INCLUDING YOU.
IN THE WORDS OF AL GORE,
REPUBLICANS WERE THE "EXTRA
CHROMOSOME RIGHT WING," SO THEY
WERE REALLY GENETICALLY
DEFECTIVE.
THAT’S HOW LIBERALS ACTUALLY
TALK.
WHENEVER TWO OR MORE LIBERALS
ARE GATHERED, YOU WILL FIND
SANCTIMONY.
BUT THERE’S A NEW INFLECTION.
YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IT
RECENTLY.
THE PIVOT -- AND IT WAS A
PIVOT -- CAME SIX YEARS AGO.
IT WAS DURING THE 2016 PRESIDENT
A CAMPAIGN.
LIBERALS SEEM TO LOSE ANY
REMAINING SENSE OF HUMOR AT THE
MOMENT DONALD TRUMP ARRIVED.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE CALLED THEIR BLUFF.
LOOKING BACK, IT’S OBVIOUS WHAT
HAPPENED.
BY 2016, NO ONE COULD ARGUE THAT
LIBERAL PROGRAMS, OR MANY
PROGRAMS, THE VARIOUS FADS AND
METAPHORICAL WARS WE ARE WAGING
ON THIS OR THAT BAD THING, THERE
WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANY OF IT
HAD DONE ANYTHING TO IMPROVE
AMERICAN LIFE.
LIBERALS PROMISE TO THEY WOULD
MAKE EVERYTHING GREAT, BUT THEY
DIDN’T.
IN FACT, EVERY SINGLE LIBERAL
ENTHUSIASM FAILED FROM RADICAL
FEMINISM TO URBAN RENEWAL, FROM
OUTSOURCING TO THE SO-CALLED
SHARING ECONOMY.
ALL OF THEM, EACH AND EVERY ONE,
TURNED OUT TO BE A COMPLETE
DISASTER.
THE REASON 2016 WAS SIGNIFICANT
IS THAT’S THE YEAR LIBERALS
COULD NO LONGER DENY THIS.
THEY COULDN’T SAY GIVE US
ANOTHER 50 YEARS AND WE WILL
TURN BALTIMORE INTO GENEVA.
THEY COULDN’T SAY THAT, BECAUSE
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT, NOT
EVEN THEIR OWN VOTERS WOULD
BELIEVE THAT.
SO FOR LIBERALS, 2016 WAS A
PROFOUNDLY HUMILIATING MOMENT,
AND THOSE CAN BE GOOD.
WELL-ADJUSTED ADULTS LEARN FROM
YOU KNOW HITTING MOMENTS.
THAT’S NOT WHAT LIBERALS DID.
THEY TURNED THEIR RAGE OUTWARD
AND THEY FOCUSED THAT RAGE ON
THE PEOPLE THEY HAD FAILED.
YOU ALWAYS HATE THE ONES YOU
BETRAY, SO LIBERALS DECIDED THEY
HATED THE AMERICAN MIDDLE-CLASS.
IN 2016, DEMOCRATS STOPPED
MAKING ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF
THEIR OWN POLICIES, WHATEVER
THOSE MIGHT BE, AND INSTEAD
REORIENTED THE ENTIRE PARTY
AROUND ATTACKING THE VERY PEOPLE
THAT HISTORICALLY THEY HAD
REPRESENTED.
AGAIN, AMERICA’S MIDDLE CLASS.
NOW THEY HATED THEM.
AT A FUND-RAISER SHE THOUGHT WAS
OFF THE RECORD, HILLARY CLINTON
SUMMED UP THE CONTEMPT ALL OF
THEM FELT.
LISTEN.
>> YOU COULD PUT HALF OF TRUMP
SUPPORTER’S INTO WHAT I CALL THE
BASKET OF DEPLORABLES.
RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC,
XENOPHOBIC, ISLAMOPHOBIC, YOU
NAME IT.
>> Tucker: A GAFFE.
YEAH, IN THE SENSE SHE WAS
TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHAT SHE
REALLY THINKS.
SHE MEANT EVERY WORD OF THAT AND
THE APPLAUSE THAT SHE RECEIVED
WAS HEARTFELT TOO.
THEY ALL FELT THAT WAY.
AND THAT’S WHY 2016 WAS THE YEAR
THAT YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE
BECAME A RACIST!
IT WAS THE WORST SLUR THEY COULD
THINK OF.
THEY USED IT EVERY DAY OF THE
2016 CAMPAIGN GRADE RACIST,
RACIST, RACIST.
IN THE END, AND I HATED THIS
ABOVE ALL, DONALD TRUMP WON MORE
NONWHITE VOTES THAN ANY
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT A CANDIDATE
THAN EVER, BUT THEY DIDN’T STOP.
NO, THEY JUST INCREASED THE
VOLUME.
AND BY 2020, A LOT OF AMERICANS
WERE JUST EXHAUSTED.
FINE, WE WILL VOTE FOR A
MANNEQUIN IF ONLY YOU WILL
CALM DOWN.
IT WAS THE UNSPOKEN YET VERY
CLEAR DEAL THAT LIBERALS MADE
WITH THE COUNTRY.
IF YOU DIPPED THE THE ORANGEMEN,
WE WILL STOP SCREAMING AND
BURNING YOUR CITIES AND WE CAN
BE ALL AMERICANS AGAIN.
SO PEOPLE VOTED FOR BIDEN.
MAYBE NOT 81 MILLION, BUT SOME
PEOPLE DID.
DEMOCRATS DIDN’T MEAN IT.
BY JANUARY BLAST TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAD MORE POWER
THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE FDR WAS
PRESIDENT, BUT THE TELLING
POINT, THE TIP-OFF, WAS THAT
THEY DIDN’T SEEM HAPPY ABOUT IT.
IF ANYTHING, THEY SEEMED ANGRIER
THAN EVER.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY HAD LOST FAITH IN
THEIR OWN PROGRAM.
THEY CONTROLLED EVERYTHING, BUT
THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN MAKING
THINGS BETTER.
THEY WERE NO LONGER INTERESTED
AT ALL IN SOCIAL IMPROVEMENTS.
SOCIAL SECURITY, THEY BRAGGED
ABOUT THAT FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS.
THEY STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT.
HEAD START, MEMBER THAT?
IMPROVING PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THESE WERE ALL LIBERAL
ENTHUSIASMS.
THEY TRIED THEM ALL AND NONE OF
THEM WORKED.
SO THEY MOVED IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION.
INSTEAD, TRY TO FIX THE COUNTRY,
THEY DECIDED TO DESTROY THE
COUNTRY TO START OVER.
IF YOU WERE WATCHING FROM
OUTSIDE, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE
HAVING A FIT.
THEY ERUPTED INTO UNCONTROLLABLE
NIHILISTIC RAGE.
THEY SWEPT THE PLATES OFF THE
TABLE, PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE
DRYWALL, THROUGH A VASE ON THE
TV, BURN IT DOWN, LET’S START
OVER!
THEY CALLED THIS THE EQUITY
AGENDA.
AND YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN NERVOUS
WHEN YOU LISTENED TO THEM TALK
ABOUT IT BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY
TALKED ABOUT THE EQUITY AGENDA,
THEY SCOWLED.
JOE BIDEN LOOKED ANGRY AT HIS
OWN INAUGURATION.
HE HAD PROMISED HOPE, BUT IN THE
END HE DELIVERED DIVISION AND
RAGE.
THIS IS BIDEN ON THE DAY HE
BECAME PRESIDENT.
>> President Biden: NOW A RISE
OF POLITICAL EXTREMISM, WEITZER
PREMISES, THOMISTIC TERRORISM
THAT WE MUST CONFRONT AND WE
WILL DEFEAT.
OUR HISTORY HAS BEEN A CONSTANT
STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE AMERICAN
IDEAL THAT WE ALL ARE CREATED
EQUAL, AND THE HARSH UGLY
REALITY THAT RACISM, NATIVISM,
FEAR, DEMONIZATION HAVE LONG
TORN US APART.
THE BATTLE IS PERENNIAL.
>> Tucker: WHAT WAS THAT?
THAT WASN’T THE DEAL!
WE GOT RID OF THE ORANGE MAN AND
YOU’RE STILL CALLING RACIST?
WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO UNITE THE
COUNTRY?
WHY DON’T YOU WIN OVER THE
PEOPLE THAT DIDN’T VOTE FOR YOU?
THEY DIDN’T SPEND ONE DAY DOING
THAT.
INSTEAD THEY MOVED IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION AT HIGH SPEED
SPEED.
THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN DECLARED
THAT TRESPASSING WAS A FELONY
AND FURTHER TRUMP VOTERS IN
PRISON, A LOT OF THEM ARE STILL
THERE.
THEY SAID ABOUT POLITICIZING THE
MOST FEDERALLY ARMED FEDERAL
AGENCIES FROM THE FBI TO DHS TO
THE PENTAGON.
THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU NERVOUS.
AND THEY DID IT FOR A REASON,
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THEIR
POLITICAL OPPONENTS WERE
CRIMINALS AND YOU KNOW THAT
BECAUSE THEY SAID SO.
THEY CALLED THEM WHITE
SUPREMACISTS.
YOU BURIED WHY ARE THEY CALLING
YOU THAT?
WHY ARE THEY ANNOUNCING YOU AS A
SEDITION IS, ANY OF THE STATES?
WHY ARE THEY MAKING GOVERNMENT
SENSOR YOU ARE DISARMING?
BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU ARE A
TERRORIST.
THEY DEPLOYED THOUSANDS OF
NATIONAL, NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS
TO YOUR CAPITAL AND KEPT THEM
THERE FOR MONTHS.
AGAINST AMERICANS?
WE WEREN’T BEING INVADED?
THOSE WERE TRUMP VOTERS THEY
CLAIMED TO BE AFRAID OF.
THEY BEGAN USING LANGUAGE THAT
EVEN THE MOST RADICAL DEMOCRATS
IN CONGRESS JUST SIX YEARS AGO
WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WAS WAY TOO
EXTREME.
AND IT WASN’T JUST A FEW OF THEM
WHO DID THIS.
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM DID IT.
>> CERTAIN DATES ECHO THROUGHOUT
HISTORY.
DECEMBER 7TH 1941,
SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001.
IN JANUARY 6TH 2021.
>> SIMILAR TO PEARL HARBOR AND
9/11.
>> WE CAN NOW ADD JANUARY 6TH
2021 TO THAT VERY SHORT LIST OF
DATES IN AMERICAN HISTORY THAT
WILL LIVE FOREVER IN INFAMY.
>> President Biden: THE WORST
ATTACK ON OUR DEMOCRACY SINCE
THE CIVIL WAR.
>> THE WORST ATTACK ON OUR
DEMOCRACY SINCE THE CIVIL WAR.
>> THIS WAS THE WORST ATTACK ON
OUR MOCKER SEE SINCE THE
CIVIL WAR.
>> THE WORST SINGLE ACT OF
POLITICAL VIOLENCE SINCE THE
CIVIL WAR.
>> THE WORST ATTACK ON AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY ARGUABLY PROBABLY
SINCE THE CIVIL WAR.
>> THE ATTACK FROM LIKELY TOOK A
LOT MORE AMERICANS THAT WERE
KILLED UNDER 9/11 ATTACKS.
>> JANUARY 6TH WAS WORSE THAN
9/11.
>> Tucker: WHY THEY TALK LIKE
THAT?
IT IS SO OBVIOUSLY UNTRUE, AND
GET THERE ALL READING FROM THE
SAME SCRIPT.
IF THERE HAS TO BE A PURPOSE
HERE.
THEY ARE NOT DOING THIS
ACCIDENTALLY.
PEOPLE DON’T USE IDENTICAL
CHUNKS OF LANGUAGE ON THE SAME
DAY BY ACCIDENT.
THEY THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.
LINDA BEGAN PUTTING PEOPLE ON
TELEVISION WHOSE ONLY
QUALIFICATION WAS THE
WILLINGNESS TO SAY THINGS THAT
AGAIN, THREE YEARS AGO WOULD BE
CONSIDERED BEYOND THE PALE.
NOT JUST A FEW OF THEM, A LOT OF
THEM.
HERE’S A FORMER TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION LIKE YOU TELLING
IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT
THEIR REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A
BIGGER THREAT TO THIS NATION
THAN AL QAEDA OR ISIS.
>> RADICALIZED ELEMENTS OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW REPRESENT A
BIGGER THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY
AND ORGANIZATIONS LIKE AL QAEDA
OR ISIS EVER DID.
NOT NECESSARILY THE HUMAN LIVES,
NOT NECESSARILY, BUT A BIGGER
THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY THAN
THOSE TERRORIST GROUPS EVER DID.
>> Tucker: SO WHY ARE THEY
TALKING THIS WAY?
WHAT ALSO THE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT?
THEIR RECORD IN DETROIT FOR THE
LAST 60 YEARS?
NO.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DECIDED THE
ONLY WAY IT COULD MAINTAIN
POWER, WIN THE NEXT ELECTION, IS
TO CONVINCE YOU, THE VOTER, THAT
THE OTHER SIDE IS DANGEROUS,
LITERALLY DANGEROUS, NOT
METAPHORICALLY DANGEROUS,
ACTUALLY DANGEROUS TO YOUR LIFE.
THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE TO UP
THE ANTE IN EVERY ELECTION.
IF THERE ARE WEITZER PREMISES
THIS ELECTION, WHAT ARE THEY NOT
ELECTION?
AND THEN WHAT?
JOHN BRENNAN, THE FORMER CIA
DIRECTOR SAID HE LOOKED FORWARD
TO A AUTHORITARIAN CRACKDOWN.
YOU WILL NOTICE HE LUMPS IN
LIBERTARIANS WITH FASCIST BIGOTS
AND RACISTS.
WATCH THIS.
>> LOOKING FORWARD, THE MEMBERS
OF THE BIDEN TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN
NOMINATED OR HAVE BEEN APPOINTED
ARE NOW MOVING IN LASER-LIKE
FASHION TO TRY TO UNCOVER AS
MUCH AS THEY CAN ABOUT WHAT
LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO INSURGENCY
MOVEMENT THAT WE’VE SEEN
OVERSEAS WHERE THEY GERMINATE IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
AND THEY GAIN STRENGTH AND THEY
BRING TOGETHER AN UNHOLY
ALLIANCE FREQUENTLY OF RELIGIOUS
EXTREMISTS, AUTHORITARIAN
FASCIST, BIGOTS, RACISTS,
NATIVISTS, EVEN LIBERTARIANS.
>> Tucker: THAT WAS THE MONTH
THAT JOE BIDEN WAS INAUGURATED.
THE MONTH YOU’D THINK LIBERALS
LIKE JOHN BRENNAN WOULD BE
CELEBRATING TRUMP’S DEPARTURE.
BUT AGAIN, THEY WERE ANGRIER
THAN EVER, AND THAT GOTTEN
ANGRIER SINCE THAT DAY.
SO WHERE IS THIS GOING?
IT’S GOING THE ONLY PLACE IT
EVER COULD GO.
DEMOCRATS HAVE REACHED THE
LOGICAL END OF NAME-CALLING.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY RUN OUT OF
EPITHETS.
ONCE YOU’VE ACCUSED YOUR
POLITICAL OPPONENTS OF BEING
NAZIS, WHITE SUPREMACISTS, AND
THEN OF TREASON, YOU HAVE
REACHED THE LIMITS OF LANGUAGE.
WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH
SOMEONE WHO HAS COMMITTED
TREASON, IT IS NOW A
LAW ENFORCEMENT MATTER.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HAVE
TO -- HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY
PUNISHED.
SO NOT SURPRISING WAY, THAT IS
NOW WHAT THEY ARE CALLING FOR.
ARREST THEM.
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU’RE HEARING A
LOT OF LIBERALS SAY THAT.
NOT JUST THE CRAZIES, BUT THE
MAINSTREAM PEOPLE, WILLARD
MITT ROMNEY, A MAN WHO’S
PROBABLY NEVER USED THE F WORD
IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE, SUDDENLY
ACCUSING CONGRESSMAN
TULSI GABBARD OF HAWAII, ONE OF
THE MOST RECENT WILL PEOPLE EVER
TO SERVE IN THE BODY, OF
TREASON.
NOT ACCUSING OF HER BEING
MISTAKEN AROUND, BUT ACCUSING
HER OF BETRAYING HER COUNTRY,
EVEN THOUGH SHE SERVES IT IN
UNIFORM.
WHAT’S THE PENALTY FOR THAT?
WELL, IT’S PRESENT, AT LEAST.
WATCH.
>> TULSI GABBARD IS BEING
ACCUSED OF SPREADING RUSSIAN
FALSE FLAG PROPAGANDA.
>> AND I THINK DOJ, IN THE SAME
WAY THAT IT IS SETTING UP A TAX
TO INVESTIGATE ALL OF US SHOULD
BE KING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDISTS AND
SHILLING FOR PUTIN.
>> THEY USE TO ARREST PEOPLE FOR
DOING STUFF LIKE THIS.
IF THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE
COLLUDING WITH A RUSSIAN AGENT,
IF THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE PUTTING
OUT INFORMATION OR TAKING
INFORMATION AND HANDING IT OVER
TO RUSSIA, THEY USED TO ACTUALLY
INVESTIGATE STUFF LIKE THIS, AND
I GUESS NOW, YOU KNOW, THERE
SEEMS TO BE NO BARS.
>> Tucker: THEY ARE HARPIES,
THEY ARE RIDICULOUS, THEY ARE
STUPID, ALL TRUE.
BUT WHAT WAS SO SURPRISING IS
THAT THAT WASN’T EVEN CONSIDERED
MUCH OF A NEW STORY.
IT’S THAT COMMON.
A LIBERAL FUND-RAISING GROUP
CALLED "CALL TO ACTION" IS NOW
DEMANDING THE ARREST OF
CLARENCE THOMAS A BUNCH OF HIS
WIFE, SOMEONE WHO AS FAR AS WE
KNOW IT HASN’T DONE ANYTHING
WRONG APART FROM MARRYING A MAN
LIBERALS DON’T LIKE.
FIVE YEARS AGO IF SOME LIBERAL
GROUP WAS RAISING MONEY ON THE
IDEA THAT SHE SHOULD BE ARRESTED
BECAUSE SHE IS MARY TO
CLARENCE THOMAS, THAT WOULD HAVE
SEEMED DEMENTED AND NOW IT’S
JUST ANOTHER CABLE NEWS SEGMENT.
A LOT OF THEM ARE LIKE THAT.
HERE’S FORMER FOX REPORTER ON
CNN THIS WEEKEND CALLING FOR US,
THIS SHOW, TO BE SENT TO PRISON,
BECAUSE THAT’S NOW THE FAIR
PENALTY FOR DISAGREEING WITH
JOE BIDEN.
JAIL TIME.
AND A HOST OF THE SHOW ON CNN
SEEMS TO THINK THAT SOUNDS ABOUT
RIGHT.
>> IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE,
TUCKER HAS BEEN SCREAMING FIRE
IN A CROWDED MOVIE HOUSE FOR
YEARS, AND THAT CLICHE REALLY
COMES TO THE MATTER OF WHAT IS
FREE SPEECH, AND THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS, IF YOU DISTURB THE
PEACE BY STARTING A RIOT IN A
MOVIE THEATER, COPS ARE GOING TO
ARREST YOU AND YOU MIGHT END UP
IN JAIL YOU MIGHT END UP IN
SOMETHING WORSE.
AND THAT KIND OF STUFF
ABSOLUTELY HAS TO STOP, WHETHER
IT’S THE ANTITRUST BILL TO TAKE
DOWN AND D PLATFORM PEOPLE WHO
LIVE AND PUT OUT FALSEHOODS THAT
CAUSE DAMAGE AND VIOLENCE,
VIOLENT HATE, THERE OUGHT TO BE
SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.
AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS
BEGINNING TO ACTUALLY MAKE A
MOVE ON THAT, AND IT’S BEEN WAY
OVERDUE.
>> Tucker: THE ADMINISTRATION
IS BEGINNING TO MAKE A MOVE ON
THAT, SINCE THE JOURNALIST.
MAYBE WIND UP IN JAIL OR MAYBE
SOMETHING WORSE.
WHAT’S SOMETHING WORSE?
WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT SOMETHING
WORSE IS BUT IT CERTAINLY FEELS
LIKE WE’RE MOVING TOWARD IT AT
VERY HIGH SPEED AT THIS POINT.
THAT’S THE END POINT TO TALK
LIKE THAT, SOMETHING WORSE.
BECAUSE RHETORIC HAS ITS OWN
INTERNAL LOGIC.
YOU’VE EXPERIENCED IT, YOU CAN
TALK YOURSELF INTO THINGS.
WE’VE ALL DONE THAT.
DEMOCRATS ARE DOING IT RIGHT
NOW.
AND WHAT THEY ARE TALKING
THEMSELVES INTO RIGHT NOW IS
"SOMETHING WORSE."
IT’S SCARY.
IT IS TIME TO PULL BACK.
IT IS TIME TO DE-ESCALATE,
