“You cannot allow people to force you to lie, period.” – Tucker on presstitutes in the media
“War makes people less human.” – Tucker
“When you admit you’re wrong you actually preserve your dignity. When you continue to lie you lose your dignity”:
“I find it so liberating [saying] ‘I was wrong.’ … Once you say that you realize you have nothing to be afraid of. Everybody already knows [anyway]…. All the pretense is pointless. … People who are wrong again and again are terrified of being exposed. … Everybody already knows. Calm down. Just admit it. … When you admit you’re wrong you actually preserve your dignity. When you continue to lie you lose your dignity. … How can you respect yourself if you’re lying? You can’t.” – Tucker
“The idea that a flower is more beautiful than anything we can create” reveals their limits, that they’re not God. – Tucker

Biden just reclassified the Kennedy documents 60 years after his assassination; though, everyone involved is dead. Why? “Because it not only implicates individuals, but institutions. …the US government is implicate in the overthrow of the US government.” – Tucker
A REASON TO WRITE – 1:05:55:
Tucker says having a show on social meeting forces him to write. He’d rather bird hunt or fish, but writing is ‘wonderful!
“What social media offers for me in the short term is an audience, but also a reason to write. I can’t think clearly without writing. … I need to write things out. … Writing a script forces you to think through everything about the issue — to have a much deeper understanding of it. … I couldn’t go too long without writing or my IQ would drop dramatically.”
Best part, I think, if one is short on time, is 1:07:40 and beyond, discussing the overreaction to January 6th and the footage Tucker showed, telling the other side.
