tucker: "the truth is one of the main problems in this country is that everyone is on some kind of drug, or drunk. everyone's on pills. it's crazy. everyone's on SSRIs, or meth they call adderall, benzos, weed. weed makes you passive and stupid. it makes you into a loser.
why don't you just face your life? it's so awesome. it makes you weak. the more you party, the more you run away, the weaker you get.
we should just go full saudi on the drug thing. i mean it. like full saudi. yeah that's harsh. okay. but compared to what? watching people die of fentanyl ODs on the sidewalk? have you been to our cities recently? it's totally cruel and inhumane and beneath us as a nation to allow people to OD on drugs on the sidewalk. there's no kindness in that at all. you hate people if you allow that.
and we're letting the whole country do that. and encouraging them to do drugs. lock them up, man. I hope we get full saudi on those people, including the policymakers who allowed it. they've killed so many people. they deserve to be punished in a very severe way.
bring back the war on drugs but this time we're not joking."

tucker says love and character wins: "you don't have to win every argument. should i just crush them in a debate? i could easily do that. but then i thought, you know, the only way you really change people's minds is just by loving them. show people love and that wins them over in the end.
also being happy. if there are two sides of a debate and one side seems grounded and cheerful and has functional relationships and wives who respect them and kids who love them. and if the other side is living in an apartment screaming at MSNBC maybe they're on the wrong side.
the people with balanced, happy lives are probably on the right path. if your program is so effective, then why are you so miserable? and why do your kids have weird piercings and clearly hate you? and your wife obviously has no respect for you at all?
i'm not going to vote for the party of unhappy people. if i want to change people's minds, then i want to model success. which is calm cheerfulness, peace, connection between people, stable, enduring relationships. and by living that openly you change way more minds than by any argument you can muster."

"if you want to restore honesty to government, there's a very simple way to do that, and it's with transparency. why is it that 62 years later after the president of the united states was murdered we can't see the documents on that? why is it that 23 years after 9/11 files are still classified?
it's our government. no federal bureaucrat has the right to tell you that you can't know what your government is doing. who owns this government? the federal bureaucrat who can't be fired? no i don't think so. we do.
if you wind up in a country with over a billion classified federal documents, you are living in an extremely corrupt country. we don't think we live in a corrupt country. we do. every 9/11 document should be declassified. if you want to create conspiracy theories, pull down a curtain of secret over what actually happened. why are you afraid to tell me the truth? i have a moral right to it."
