CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): Fox News has leaked to The New York Times private text messages that Tucker Carlson has sent and allegedly this is the smoking gun. So, Fox News leaked these messages to try to say, hey, see, we were dealing with something here. That Tucker Carlson is a bad guy, he's a racist. It's bad enough that we have to deal with accusations, false and baseless accusations, from the people that want Black-only dormitories. It's bad enough that we have to deal with the wokies calling us racist, but now, Tucker Carlson's own employer, well, former employer, it's complicated, is releasing these messages.
I'm going to read the entire text message, and let me be very clear, Tucker Carlson did nothing wrong. Nothing wrong. These virtue-signaling, high horse, moral sanctimonious people on Twitter on the alleged neo-liberal center-right and the left, they're saying, oh wow, we finally have smoking gun evidence that Tucker Carlson is a racist.
...
First of all, the text message was compassionate, it was clear, about how our media machine is actually dehumanizing our entire country, our civilization. How he was talking about how he was watching a video and how he felt less human. I'm going to reach the whole text message that apparently is the smoking gun against Tucker Carlson. They're trying to take him out for good. This war is about to get nasty, it’s about to get brutal.
...
The quote, unquote controversial part of the text message, I want to make sure I get it right, so, it's something around the essence that Tucker said this is not how white people fight. Something like that. This is not how white people fight. And the whole media is losing their mind. And so my question for the media is, what do you find objectionable about that, exactly? Is there an expectation you have about how white people fight? Is it you're not allowed to say that? Are you allowed to say that white people are racist, white people are awful, white people should be wiped off the face of the earth?
...
Morning Joe's upset. MSNBC is upset. You're not even allowed to say the W word, you can't say the white word.
...
If you actually want to get to the truth that Tucker was saying here, is that there is a disturbing, this is a fact, no one wants to say this, there is a disturbing pattern of Blacks jumping people of all races in the urban corridors in America. That is a fact. I don't like it, you shouldn't like it. It's horrifying, but it's a pattern that we are seeing. Tucker Carlson was sending a private text message basically piggybacking on that fact.
