#263 - Is Tucker Carlson Right About the West Failing? · Brandon Fogal Evolution

• 0:00
  So did Tucker Carlson get himself into some more hot water?
• 0:03
  What he recently said, or what has just come out is he very,
• 0:07
  he very much sympathizes with Sharia law says the, the West is in decline.
• 0:13
  And it sounds like he would almost want us to be under Sharia law.
• 0:17
  I we're going to break down the comments that he said. I'm going to give my
• 0:21
  analysis. I want to hear what you think because it is complicated.
• 0:25
  It is very complicated. I am going to get very nuanced in this video.
• 0:29
  So let's just break it down. And I've set it up so hopefully the sound comes through better.
• 0:34
  I added a couple of extensions, so hopefully it's not too loud. I bumped it up.
• 0:38
  We're just going to see. Sometimes I don't hear it. As you can see,
• 0:40
  I don't got headphones on.
• 0:43
  But we're a work in progress. Here we go. Let's hear what Tucker had to say.
• 0:46
  I travel so much that I see it.
• 0:48
  There's not a single Western city that's thriving, and they're all degrading in exactly the same way.
• 0:54
  Is a lot of it just a moral decay, or is it actually true from everything?
• 0:57
  It's a lot of things, but it's self-hatred.
• 0:59
  Every city, every European city, every American city, it's just white.
• 1:02
  People lose their will to live, their will to pass on their culture,
• 1:05
  their values, their religion to their children, their will to have children. It's all gone.
• 1:09
  I mean, it's not gone with everybody, but I mean, in the cities, you really see it.
• 1:12
  It's like, the people who built this are long gone and their descendants have
• 1:15
  fled and they don't care enough to keep it going.
• 1:18
  There's just a lack of self-respect that is disgusting to me and I have contempt
• 1:22
  for it. I don't, it doesn't bother me to be hated.
• 1:24
  What really bothers me is when people hate themselves if you
• 1:27
  hate yourself yeah how are you going to treat me that's correct
• 1:30
  oh man i don't like it so you and you i've noticed it because
• 1:34
  i travel outside the western world the white world i'm just be honest the white
• 1:37
  world right travel a lot in the middle east we're going to bounce in and out
• 1:41
  of this so that is very because tucker has traveled a lot he there's so much
• 1:46
  mystery to this man but he has went outside of the united states a lot he's been to the Gulf region.
• 1:53
  He knows what it's like to be in European countries. He knows what it's like
• 1:56
  to be in America, obviously.
• 1:59
  So as we can see, like in our nation, it does seem like things are breaking
• 2:02
  down in Western society does feel like that.
• 2:05
  Maybe it's because we're not going as extreme as the Muslims do in their countries,
• 2:11
  that they are under Sharia law. They're under a theocracy.
• 2:15
  Should we go under a theocracy as Christians or would that turn into like the handmaidens tell?
• 2:21
  I know people are afraid of that. That's where we end up at.
• 2:25
  But I mean, we are a Christian nation. The United States is a Christian nation,
• 2:30
  but we really don't own it.
• 2:31
  I mean, we say that, but we do. We say everybody can practice their own religion,
• 2:36
  but we see when people aren't following the truth, it does end up in despair.
• 2:43
  You don't always feel great about where you're living.
• 2:47
  You don't feel great about your
• 2:48
  circumstances, the condition of our country, and just our way of life.
• 2:52
  And people aren't obviously living like they're living for Christ.
• 2:56
  They're not because we're not promoting it as much as maybe we should.
• 3:01
  Maybe we should buckle down and put like, we're Christian nation, everyone.
• 3:05
  You know, the church and the state, we're coming together.
• 3:11
  It's amazing. It's amazing. I'm not Muslim, obviously. In fact,
• 3:14
  I'm like a Christian, you know, flat out Christian. And my ancestors are from Europe.
• 3:19
  And so I'm not, I have nothing in common on that level with the Gulf.
• 3:23
  But you go to the Gulf and it's incredible to be in a place that has pride in
• 3:28
  itself, that believes in its religion and culture, that thinks we're on,
• 3:31
  we're onto something. And this is great. Look at what we're doing.
• 3:32
  We're really proud of this.
• 3:33
  Those people are happy. They're welcoming of others. They're tolerant of diversity.
• 3:38
  Like always, they're tolerant of diversity. There's none of that here. Are you kidding? all the
• 3:41
  whites it is such i mean it is such
• 3:44
  a good point what he is raising because i have been over in a
• 3:47
  country that was in sudan it's very heavily it's
• 3:52
  their religion pretty much is islam i mean i
• 3:54
  know there's you're kind of either born christian or born islam but like
• 3:57
  the the national identity is pretty much muslim
• 4:00
  so you do see that like people over there they're
• 4:03
  they're kind we don't they're in certain areas
• 4:06
  they're not always they're not all extremists you know
• 4:09
  i think we always do we just see that the extreme ones
• 4:12
  are the ones that get the most attention because obviously because they're
• 4:15
  strapping bombs to themselves and wanting to kill
• 4:18
  but it's like if you're around muslims like people that have been rat have not
• 4:23
  been radicalized they are the most hospitable kind people they it is a culture
• 4:29
  it's a different culture over there and i think as we get further and further
• 4:34
  along i just we just saw yesterday the guy who created only fans he
• 4:38
  just passed away by cancer at the age of 43, but OnlyFans itself is just like
• 4:44
  an embodiment of where we are as a nation.
• 4:47
  It just shows us how the extreme nature that we went to, that is just regular
• 4:52
  women. They have, they, they grow up and they can make a choice.
• 4:55
  Do I want to make money and have it easy and just sell my body?
• 5:00
  Or do I want to maybe not have everything given to me and, you know,
• 5:05
  and have to work and earn a living, you know?
• 5:08
  So, like, just the way that we are as the United States, it doesn't look too great overall.
• 5:14
  Oh, we love black people. Then they run and move to Bozeman because there are
• 5:17
  no black people. Send their kids to the country.
• 5:19
  They hate diversity. They hate it. And our version of it isn't working at all. No. Like at all.
• 5:24
  So, but you go to a country like Japan or the Emirates or Qatar or Saudi Arabia
• 5:28
  and you see that when people are self-confident, when they're really pleased
• 5:33
  with what they're doing and they believe that their system is the right system,
• 5:36
  that self-confidence results in a kind of welcoming attitude.
• 5:40
  So you'll be sitting at dinner in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and you'll say,
• 5:45
  you know, I'm really kind of pro-Jesus, like I'm a Christian.
• 5:48
  They'll be like, that's so great.
• 5:49
  And they don't have the same... Well, they mean it. They don't have the same
• 5:51
  belief. No, they're Muslims. They're Muslims, yeah. It's a country governed by Sharia law. Right.
• 5:55
  And they're like, that's great. Good for you. Yeah. It's great.
• 5:57
  And you notice like in ISIS or Al-Qaeda or like the Muslim extremists,
• 6:02
  they're all from like collapsed, pathetic societies dominated by colonial powers.
• 6:07
  They've been degraded. And that's why they're so angry.
• 6:11
  Right? So there's something about being degraded that turns you into a violent
• 6:14
  nutcase extremist. You're seeing a lot of violent nutcase extremists in our
• 6:16
  country. Not surprising because the country's being degraded.
• 6:18
  Correct. So in a country with self-confidence, people are tolerant and open-minded and happy.
• 6:23
  And in a country where people are told to hate themselves, they start to hate others.
• 6:27
  It's very reasonable, the position that he is. But like, whether you're a Christian
• 6:31
  or a Muslim or you don't have any certain faith, it does come down to a matter of truth, you know? And-
• 6:40
  If there is a devil, if there is Satan, you know, if we, if we believe there's
• 6:43
  a God, you know, then there, there seems to be some type of evil force in our
• 6:47
  universe that is making evil things happen.
• 6:50
  You know, like you can't just like not look and say that just,
• 6:54
  that just happened, you know, but we can recognize evil when we see it.
• 6:58
  And so if God is there and like, if Jesus Christ is the truth and,
• 7:02
  you know, wouldn't Satan want to make everything as look peaceful and nice in certain places.
• 7:08
  And I'm not saying that like, there's this umbrella of the Abrahamic religions,
• 7:13
  you know, the Christianity, Islam.
• 7:15
  Judaism, that they're like the three national, like three world faiths that
• 7:22
  people like the biggest, that have the biggest backing, the strongest reach
• 7:26
  because they've been around for so long.
• 7:29
  But when it comes down to it, what is truth, you know?
• 7:32
  And I, I'm not, I don't, I know we could go the Joe Rogan route where it,
• 7:35
  what, what works is that's the best way to go about it, you know,
• 7:38
  because you could live in a society that is peaceful, you know, go to Dubai.
• 7:43
  And it's like, they're under Sharia law. It's under lockdown.
• 7:46
  I think it's, it's really more of just authoritarian state.
• 7:52
  It's like in those areas, there's a King. It's like, you disobey the King,
• 7:56
  you steal something, you get your hand chopped off.
• 7:58
  You know, like it's, they're very strict and they're, and they,
• 8:04
  they, they do what works.
• 8:05
  So it's like, is it what practical? Does that make it truth?
• 8:09
  Just because it's practical.
• 8:11
  Jesus, I, I, and I've went back and forth so many times about this with Jesus. Like,
• 8:16
  Did he really want us to get so heavily involved in politics and government
• 8:20
  and like we should care about that as much?
• 8:23
  I am heavily involved in it. I care about it. And it's something I'm very interested in.
• 8:28
  But really, was Jesus concerned about that? It seemed like he was the opposite of that.
• 8:33
  So it's, I think somebody is going to decide our morals.
• 8:37
  And if we have the power to implement our morals, implement Christian values, we should do it.
• 8:42
  But this choice between under sharia
• 8:45
  law and under like the west that we
• 8:48
  have just it's we live in a liberal society that's
• 8:51
  what we were built on we were built on christianity but in a real sense liberalism
• 8:56
  just that everybody can do their own thing there's freedom which is good but
• 9:02
  when everybody has freedom and everybody's not tethered to what's truth and
• 9:05
  what's reality people can go off in crazy directions.
• 9:10
  And I see that Tucker is, he's getting people just chomping at the bits and
• 9:15
  wanting to tear them down because he is doing a lot of damage.
• 9:19
  He's doing a lot of damage in our society because he is on the side of just asking questions.
• 9:23
  And I, foundational level, I disagree with him.
• 9:26
  Where he stands on Israel, where he stands on Trump and where he stands on MAGA
• 9:31
  and where he stands on America and what's good for us as a nation,
• 9:35
  it does seem at times like he is a double agent. Like, who are you working for?
• 9:40
  But I don't, I'm not like, he's reasonable and he's able to explain the differences,
• 9:48
  his life lessons that he's went through, that it makes sense what he's saying
• 9:53
  because he's been over there, he's been in those Muslim heavily populated areas,
• 9:57
  and he knows what it's like to be here.
• 9:58
  And we see it's not working here. But it's like.
• 10:03
  When Jesus and the apostles were on the earth, it was like, we think that it's
• 10:08
  so terrible now. It's so awful now.
• 10:11
  I mean, this isn't nothing compared to that day and age.
• 10:14
  People were like, they didn't have OnlyFans, but they were going to the temples
• 10:19
  to have sex with prostitutes, you know, to worship gods.
• 10:22
  That's the way they did it. And that was just natural for them.
• 10:26
  They just regular Roman soldiers. They would have little boys.
• 10:30
  They would have boys that there was pedophilia was just rampant.
• 10:34
  So we've kind of reversed on a lot of things. In our Western civilization,
• 10:38
  we have Christian values embedded within us.
• 10:41
  But it's not to say that Satan doesn't want to attack us and destroy us because
• 10:46
  we're carrying the truth. Because we're carrying the truth.
• 10:50
  We're trying to, and the light is going to blaze brighter in a dark area.
• 10:55
  And the United States is becoming dark in a lot of ways.
• 10:59
  But I don't think it's to go under Sharia law because even though it might be
• 11:03
  locked down and peaceful with them, it's not the truth.
• 11:07
  And that's what you got to come to terms with. Either Jesus Christ is the truth
• 11:11
  or he's not. You can't have it both ways. And Muslims, they're not saying he is.
• 11:15
  They're not saying, they're not, because Islam gets so confusing because they have to go.
• 11:23
  There's so many contradictions because their religion says that the Old Testament
• 11:27
  and the New Testament is God's word. So they have to accept it.
• 11:31
  But then they, they also, it has things in the Quran that.
• 11:37
  Explicitly contradict the Bible. They explicitly say things that aren't in the New Testament.
• 11:42
  So it's like, if you get into that, like that, uh, dialogue with the Muslim, um,
• 11:46
  They see the New Testament and the Old Testament as holy books,
• 11:50
  but they don't see, they don't recognize it.
• 11:53
  They don't actually, that's why if you actually give them a Bible and they read
• 11:57
  it, they want to have one because they recognize it as holy,
• 12:00
  but they don't actually want to read it because it completely goes against what
• 12:04
  they're told to believe.
• 12:05
  So Jesus Christ is either the truth or he's not. And what do you think Satan wants to do?
• 12:10
  He wants to make a nation that is built on Christianity. He wants to make them
• 12:15
  look like they got everything out of whack, which we do.
• 12:18
  You know, it's like Satan has just infiltrated our system and our way of life
• 12:23
  and is just trying to control and bring a bad name because he doesn't want people to believe it.
• 12:29
  He wants them to not look like it's a good way of life.
• 12:33
  But Christianity in Western civilization, they're not like identical.
• 12:37
  They're not like exactly aligned.
• 12:40
  You know, it's they're not the same thing.
• 12:43
  Western civilization is built on, you know, free or free love,
• 12:46
  free thinking, you know, do your own thing kind of thing in a lot of ways because
• 12:50
  we give her, everybody has freedom, which is good.
• 12:53
  But sometimes when you don't have like people telling what the truth is,
• 12:57
  then people go in all different directions.
• 12:59
  So I understand why Tucker Carlson is sympathizing so much with,
• 13:04
  with this surreal law that is in these countries because it is orderly.
• 13:08
  It is, there's like, you can go somewhere, put your watch down or put your phone
• 13:14
  down. You don't have to worry about somebody stealing it.
• 13:16
  It's kind of thing. Like if you walk into a church, normally you can put your
• 13:20
  stuff somewhere and you don't have to worry about somebody stealing it more
• 13:23
  than likely, you know, and it's not always the case, but it's like,
• 13:27
  generally you're, you, you have a shared worldview with the people you're around.
• 13:33
  And I think if we, in the United States brought more Christianity,
• 13:37
  I would love theocracy bring theocracy on.
• 13:40
  But I mean, I'd say that at the
• 13:42
  same time that probably that's not really necessarily what Jesus preached.
• 13:47
  You know, he said, my kingdom is not of this world. You know, I'm the same type of guy.
• 13:51
  I would love a commune. I'd love to live in a place, a commune with Christians
• 13:55
  all around where we share everything, you know, but we know that always turns
• 13:59
  out kind of bad because every way you go in this world, it's never going to be perfect.
• 14:04
  That's why we say your kingdom come, your will be done. God's kingdom is perfect.
• 14:09
  This kingdom here on earth that we build, it's not so much.
• 14:13
  Actually, it always goes in the opposite direction. It goes in the evil direction
• 14:17
  because we have, it's not the evils outside of us.
• 14:19
  The evil is within each of us and we got to resist it and fight it.
• 14:23
  All right, we'll leave it at that. Let me know what you think. Drop a comment.
• 14:27
  What side are you on? Or if there is a side, let me know what you think. Have a good day.
