In a passionate speech at the Daily Caller News Foundation Gala, Tucker Carlson raised serious concerns about the current state of America. He warned that the country is on the “brink of collapse” due to issues with immigration, foreign policy, spending, and social division.
Carlson expressed his disappointment with elected officials, noting that when then-candidate Donald Trump called for government to work on behalf of the people in 2016, he expected some positive change. However, he emphasized that the opposite has occurred, describing the situation as “crazy.”
You can say you care about America, but if you’re sending $100 billion to foreign countries right now, you’re lying. pic.twitter.com/jFmBlAW3qG

One of the major problems Carlson highlighted is the cost of living and the inability of younger Americans to afford the basics, such as starting families or buying homes. He criticized politicians for failing to address these issues, stating that such a failure should be a catalyst for change.
Furthermore, Carlson criticized the federal government for focusing on persecuting political enemies rather than finding solutions to the country’s social and fiscal problems. He urged politicians to prioritize caring for the American people and to stop spending billions of dollars on other countries, regardless of the virtuous cases they may present.
According to Carlson, Americans from all backgrounds are feeling a sense of impending doom, but no one is stepping up to bring the nation together or reassure its citizens. He emphasized that the current leaders, on both sides of the aisle, are dishonest and incompetent.
With his trademark wit and personality, Carlson painted a grim picture of the current state of America, urging for urgent action to prevent its collapse.
