Tucker Carlson reveals the truth about Mike Pompeo and those like him in Washington. They aren't serving the American people. They're serving themselves.

TUCKER CARLSON: The prosecution of Donald Trump is transparently political. He's literally Joe Biden's main political opponent. He's polling over 60% among Republican voters right now. So Joe Biden is doing what no president has ever dared to do. He's using law enforcement to lock up his chief rival. That's happening right now. Anyone who denies it's happening is lying to you. But actually, it's worse than that.

Trump's prosecution isn't just political. It's ideological. Nobody with Trump's views is allowed to have power in this country. Criticize our wars and you're disqualified. If you keep it up, we'll send you to prison. That's the message Washington is sending, not just the Democratic Party is sending, but both parties are sending.

...What about voters? What are they learning from this spectacle? Well mostly, they're learning that they have no power at all because nobody cares about them. But, they already knew that. Unlike so many of our elected leaders, they have been to America recently. They know what it looks like.

...Joe Biden and his many allies from Chuck Schumer, to Mitch McConnell, to Paul Ryan, and every single news anchor on all of television, all of them believe that Ukraine - it's borders, it's future, it's infrastructure - are all more important than the town that you live in. They sincerely think that, and it's obvious. Everyone in power thinks that, except for Donald Trump.

Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot at becoming president who dissents from Washington's longstanding, pointless war agenda. And for that, that one fact, they're trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him. And that should upset you more than anything that's happened in American politics in your lifetime. Even if you don't plan to vote for Donald Trump, even if you would die before voting for Donald Trump, which is your right and a lot of good people feel that way, even still, the destruction of our democracy, which is the right of voters to support any candidate they want, even candidates who don't want war with Russia, the destruction of that should keep you up at night.

Yes, Donald Trump is a flawed man, but his sins are minor compared to those of his persecutors. In this life, we don't get to choose our martyrs. We can only choose our principles, and America's are at stake.

This is a really powerful monologue.

The election of Donald Trump in 2016 exposed it all, and the country has been off the rails since.
