On Monday\u2019s broadcast of FNC\u2019s \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d host Tucker Carlson reacted to\u00a0Giorgia Meloni\u2019s Italian election win earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Meloni\u2019s win has been panned by the media, who have claimed it rivals that of 20th-century Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.<\/p>\n

Carlson suggested the Italian election outcome was a rejection of so-called woke ideology, and he compared what happened in Italy to what was happening in U.S. domestic politics.<\/p>\n

Transcript as follows:<\/em><\/p>\n

CARLSON: Not a lot of Americans pay attention to European politics unless they\u2019re very bored or work at some think tank and that\u2019s understandable, but it\u2019s a shame, really, because if you look closely what\u2019s happening in Europe, you can learn a lot about what\u2019s happening here.<\/p>\n

Despite the castles and the funny accents and the smelly cheese, Europe is not actually that different from the United States, at least in this way. European leaders run their countries pretty much the same way our leaders run our country. They yammer on endlessly about democracy, but then at the same time, they do their best to avoid democracy\u2019s most basic requirements like free speech and representative government.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, the Prime Minister of Italy at the time, Paolo Gentiloni, bragged to the World Economic Forum about his plans to \u201cbring more social justice to the country\u201d by which he meant importing many more thousands of poorly-educated economic migrants from the Third World into Italy. \u201cWe are very open on migration,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are saving lives at sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, saving lives, huh? Congratulations. You\u2019re such a good person. But the question is, and it\u2019s a relevant question in a democracy, what of the people who live in Italy, that would be your constituents, think of that idea?<\/p>\n

Well, as the Prime Minister explained, he didn\u2019t care. \u201cA demand for more democracy not only is wrong, it\u2019s even dangerous.\u201d You following this? You run a country in the name of the people. You\u2019re not a king, you\u2019re a democratically-elected leader. You run it in the name of the people who live there, but at the same time, it\u2019s \u201cdangerous\u201d to let the opinions of those people influence your decisions. Does that sound familiar? Oh, it does, because it\u2019s exactly the kind of democracy that we live in, which is to say a fake one.<\/p>\n

In fact, there is no majority in any country on Planet Earth that thinks open borders are a good idea or that considers global warming the single biggest problem, or that thinks it\u2019s wise to quarantine the entire population because of a flu virus.<\/p>\n

No large group of people anywhere wants these things. But in the West, everybody gets them anyway because politicians don\u2019t care what you think. Your opinion is dangerous. \u201cShut up, racist.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, it goes without saying this can\u2019t last. A system like this cannot endure forever because it\u2019s inherently unstable. You can\u2019t tell people they\u2019re in charge of their own government (It\u2019s a democracy, we promise) and then ignore over decades their most strongly held opinions on things that matter. That doesn\u2019t work long term. They will rebel, guaranteed; and the best you can hope for is that they will do it peacefully.<\/p>\n

In Italy, they seem to be doing just that. This summer, a conservative populist called Giorgia Meloni started showing up with strong support in the polls. Meloni was no radical. Her views would have seemed perfectly ordinary just a decade ago, but because she resolutely refused to bow to the twin gods of climate and mass migration, people panicked. The President of the European Commission, in fact on camera, commanded Italians not to vote for her. Watch.<\/p>\n

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

URSULA VON DER LEYEN, EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT: So, we\u2019ll see if things go in a difficult direction. I\u2019ve spoken about Hungary and Poland. We have tools. If things go in the right direction and people, as a body, that is always, where always governments have to be accountable to play an important role.<\/p>\n

(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: Oh, if \u201cthings go in the wrong direction.\u201d In other words, if voters disobey \u201cwe have tools.\u201d Oh, you do, do you? Well, that sounds like a threat, because of course it is a threat, but it turns out Italians are so desperate, they no longer care. They\u2019re not afraid, and they\u2019re not afraid because neo liberalism, which that lady is just espousing, has destroyed their country.<\/p>\n

Energy prices in some places in Italy are now up more than 400 percent over last year. Why? Well, a pointless war on Ukraine and self-destructive climate policies. It\u2019s not an accident and everyone knows it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, parts of Italy are becoming flat out dangerous. That hasn\u2019t happened before outside of Sicily, but it\u2019s happening now. Why? Everyone knows why, and government statistics show why. It\u2019s migrants who are driving much of the crime, a huge amount of the crime.<\/p>\n

So, these aren\u2019t mysteries, but you\u2019re not allowed to acknowledge them in public, period. In some places, it\u2019s illegal. But Meloni is one of the very few politicians who doesn\u2019t care and has been willing to say the obvious, the truth, out loud and as a result of that, because she has been willing to say what everybody actually knows, last night, her party called Brothers of Italy, won an overwhelming victory in Italy. They took both majorities in the Houses of Parliament.<\/p>\n

By Italian standards, in fact by American standards, this is a revolution, but unlike most revolutions, the person at the front of it can actually explain what she is about. She can articulate it in a way people understand. She\u2019s smart. This is part of the speech she gave earlier this year that led to last night\u2019s results. Watch.<\/p>\n

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

GIORGIA MELONI, BROTHERS OF ITALY PARTY: Everything we stand for is under attack. Our individual freedom is under attack. Our rights are under attack.<\/p>\n

The sovereignty of our nation is under attack. The prosperity and well- being of our families are under attack. The education of our children is under attack.<\/p>\n

In front of this, people understand that in this age, the only way of being rebels is to preserve what we are. The only way of being rebels is to be conservative.<\/p>\n

They will try to take everything away from us, but they cannot take away who we are. And you know what? Cherishing who we are, knowing what we stand for is all we need to face this challenge.<\/p>\n

(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: She is not kidding. She\u2019s as serious as the moment we are currently living through. \u201cOur rights are under attack,\u201d she said, \u201cThe sovereignty of our nation is under attack\u201d and critically \u201cthe prosperity and well-being of our families is under attack\u201d and that\u2019s true. That\u2019s why it\u2019s resonant, because it\u2019s real and not just in Italy. It\u2019s true here. American families are facing the very same onslaught from the very same poisonous ideologies.<\/p>\n

The difference is that in this country, it\u2019s rarely acknowledged except on the fringes. Meloni is not on the fringes, she is the new Prime Minister of Italy, she will be and she is saying it out loud.<\/p>\n

Contrast that to what\u2019s happening in the United States.<\/p>\n

House Republicans just spelled out what they\u2019re running on. It\u2019s a document called \u201cThe Commitment to America.\u201d It\u2019s fine. Probably not much in it, you disagree with it. Have you heard of it? No, you probably haven\u2019t. You probably haven\u2019t read it. Nobody really cares. Why? Because there\u2019s nothing real in it. There\u2019s not a single word in that document about the attacks on the American family that you see every day. That\u2019s at the center of most people\u2019s concerns. How are my kids? Will they have a life that resembles mine?<\/p>\n

That was called the American Dream. Does it still exist? Will they be able to afford to live the way they grew up? Will they have the opportunities that we had? No.<\/p>\n

People are upset about that. Why wouldn\u2019t they be? But nobody says it and that\u2019s odd because we know and now it\u2019s been proven that when politicians are brave enough to tell the truth about what\u2019s actually happening, they tend to be rewarded for it.<\/p>\n

Once again, here\u2019s the incoming Prime Minister of Italy and as you watch this, ask yourself if you would vote for a candidate like this if you had the chance in our country.<\/p>\n

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

(GIORGIA MELONI speaking in foreign language.)<\/p>\n

TRANSLATION: Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening? There is a single answer to all these questions. Because it defines us. Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who like us to no longer have an identity, and to simply be perfect consumer slaves.<\/p>\n

Chesterton wrote, more than a century ago \u2014 let\u2019s see if I can find it \u2014 \u201cFires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in the summer. That time has arrived. We are ready.\u201d Thank you<\/p>\n

(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: So that\u2019s the person is being described all over American television, including on channels they should know better as \u201cfar right.\u201d That\u2019s far right, really? Because she acknowledges that American families are under attack. Of course, they are. You think it\u2019s accidental? No, and she explains why and it\u2019s simple.<\/p>\n

If you want to establish totalitarian control over a country, of course you have to destroy the family first, because nobody with deep family loyalty, the one thing every person should have, no one who has that will ever pledge absolute obedience to a politician. Why would you?<\/p>\n

So, if you want absolute obedience, you have to sever family ties and that\u2019s why State schools brainwash your children with values that you despise and then instruct your children to turn you in as a thought criminal if you object. That\u2019s happening. It\u2019s not your imagination and it\u2019s happening for a reason.<\/p>\n

Wokeness is not just a political ideology. It\u2019s not just something annoying that emerged from college campuses that we can ignore. It\u2019s a state religion that supplants actual religion, which is also being destroyed. There\u2019s a reason the strip bars and the liquor stores and the weed dispensary stayed open under COVID, but the churches didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t draw the connection between those dots, you\u2019re missing it, but Meloni didn\u2019t miss it. She understands it perfectly. Watch.<\/p>\n

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

MELONI: Only a few months ago, European Union bureaucrats brought a document, hundreds of pages long, telling us that in order to be inclusive, we had to exclude all references to Christmas \u2014 Jesus, Mary, and all Christian names were to be removed from all official communication \u2014 will we surrender in front of this? No, we will not. We will fight it. We will find it standing tall.<\/p>\n

(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: So, they hate your family, they hate your religion, and you don\u2019t actually have to put up with it because it\u2019s a democracy, and you\u2019re supposed to be in charge, you being the population. That\u2019s a radical message? God, family, country. That\u2019s not radical. It\u2019s hard to imagine a more wholesome message, a more pro-human platform.<\/p>\n

Fascists don\u2019t believe in God because God is a rival to their power. Of course. This is a person publicly professing faith in God. That\u2019s so scary, but it is so scary. It\u2019s so scary to the people running and benefiting from our current system and why is that?<\/p>\n

She\u2019s not the first person to say this. People have said it before, but she has just been rewarded for saying it. That\u2019s the point. The population likes it. This is what they actually want. They\u2019re not that worried about global warming. They don\u2019t want open borders. They think the woke stuff is absurd. They want to say what they think.<\/p>\n

And now, it\u2019s obvious, because she just won and so even in this country, the people running and benefiting from a deeply corrupt and doomed system are hysterical. Watch the reaction to that.<\/p>\n

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n

MEDHI HASAN, MSNBC HOST: I want to start today by talking about a politician on the right we should all be worried about, who is on the rise today, a politician who has brushed off accusations of fascism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
