Tucker Carlson is back with another episode of his ongoing Twitter series, and this time he dove into the topic of transgenderism. Specifically, Carlson zeroed in on US Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, the “trans-woman” who recently proclaimed this to be a “summer of pride” from his official perch.
Yes, apparently 30 straight days of rainbow flags and public indecency isn’t enough. We are now expected to dedicate four months to the absurdity that is the idea of “pride.”
So why is the Assistant Secretary of Health promoting “pride month” in the first place? What does that have to do with the job he ostensibly holds? That’s a good question. Here’s Carlson’s take.
Ep. 8 Rick from Boston is telling us he wants to be known as female Admiral Rachel Levine. Accept his lie or pay the consequences, bigot. pic.twitter.com/otDl5EITYs

Happy summer of pride. Rick Levine is so darn proud, he’d like to tell you about all summer and possibly into the fall. He’s got a lot to be proud of. What specifically you ask? Well, strangely he doesn’t say, nor does he mention his former wife and children. He doesn’t tell us whether they’re proud too. Since none of them have been invited onto the Today Show to talk about their feelings, we’re gonna have to guess.
This is what the “goes there” in my headline is all about. Lost in so much of the fight over transgender ideology are those caught in the crossfire. Families, sometimes including children, are torn apart by the selfish mental delusions of a single person. Worse, those families receive no sympathy from the broader culture. They are given no fawning interviews to express their pain. Instead, they have to suck it up while those in power assert that what their loved one is doing is good and must be affirmed. To not do so means you are a “bigot.”
You see, in our completely backward societal moment, the feelings of a middle-aged man suffering from mental illness are to be prioritized and affirmed, not those of the children he left behind. With that said, given Levine’s political background (his ex-wife is a mental health director at a major university), I’m sure his family would say it’s all been great. Color me skeptical, though. One’s father doesn’t “transition” into a “woman,” divorcing their mother two years later, without it having a profoundly negative impact.
Carlson continued from there.
Here’s a fat guy in a Halloween costume who somehow became the federal health minister. Not too long ago, this same man was a married pediatrician with kids, lecturing about eating disorders at Penn State. Now he’s emerged as a pathbreaking lady admiral with medals on his chest, and he did all that without winning a single naval battle or even being female. Pretty inspiring.
(…)
So actually, now that we are saying this out loud, it’s pretty clear that Rick Levine has no interest in liberating you from anything. This is not about liberation, it’s just the opposite. It’s just another religious war, the same as all the others. People who think they’re God vs. everybody else.
In primitive civilizations, which would include every civilization since the beginning of time until ours, people assumed there were rules, rules that no human being made, but that people could ignore only at their peril, at great risk. Some called these rules nature or natural law, or even as societies advanced theology. But most of the time, people didn’t call them anything. They didn’t have to. There wasn’t a debate about whether the rules were real. People assumed there were consequences to pretending you were God.
Carlson arrives at the core issue surrounding the transgender issue, noting that for all of human history, people believed the evidence-based notion that sex and gender are inherent qualities and unchangeable. Only in the last decade has opposition to that idea not only become mainstream but has been promoted from the highest levels of power on the planet. Further, you are expected to agree or be shunned. Heck, you might even end up fired from your job for not using someone’s “preferred pronouns.”
In the end, Carlson nails the uncomfortable truth behind the entire transgender movement. It is built on the notion of being one’s own god, deriving the presumed ability to warp objective reality for personal (often short-lived) satisfaction. That’s not sustainable for any society, and it’s leading nowhere good.
The “pride” is in their shame, and as the shame is always there look for them to be pushing forever pride.
A truth is only uncomfortable because someone is trying to twist the truth and they’re getting caught doing it.

My brother in law is gay. He is really a good guy. He has been extremely successful in banking and investing. He is very low key. He does not hide his sexuality nor does he flaunt it in your face. If you asked him, “are you gay” he would say yes and try to change the subject. He just wants to fit into society with no problems. He has done this. Oddly he is six feet 2 inches tall and looked like Adonis when he was young. Girls followed him around like puppy dogs. We laughed about this together. He missed a hell of an opportunity, we laughed about this also.
He is my friend. He is a good guy and a valued member of society.
“The government you elect is the government you deserve”
Principles matter and electing those that tolerate insanity such as this only brings more of it. There are only two genders and if a politician can’t defend biological truth then what good are they to begin with.
The problem is the LGBTQ+ grouping. It covers everyone from people like your brother-in-law to the most vile freaks. Effort needs to be made to peel off the worst of the worst. I know there are gays who don’t like being associated with transgenders, so kicking the “T” out of there might be the place to start. But how to do it?
Of course he is. It’s sad you feel like you need to advocate for him.
This is about something else all together. I hope you know that.
Sorry Tucker but you probably just lost at least 25% of you audience because twitter decided to block non members from viewing your video’s. I will have to catch it when it makes it to Rumble.
“Lost in so much of the fight over transgender ideology are those caught in the crossfire. Families, sometimes including children, are torn apart by the selfish mental delusions of a single person.”
I have been saying the following for awhile now. The government started the “Great Society” to destroy the black family in order to further large government and its control. The government is now using the trans-cult to do the same to the white families.
In 1975 its ( Belmont High School) football roster contained 2 names that you will recognize even now, Mark Milley and Richard Levine... Both transitioned late in life into overweight middle-aged women

And sometimes you don’t have to pretend there are consequences to pretending you are God. Ask Herod in Acts 12.
You need to know that God condemns homosexuality and many have been saved from the clutches of this pernicious sin....God doesn’t condemn people for who they are outside of the broad category that we all are sinners because we were all born in sin. He condemns people for what they do that makes them who they are.
Thank you for the link...
...praying that Tuckers bank accounts don’t get frozen.
Well, I agree, although I’ve said exactly this in many posts. They’re spitting in the face of God. We went from “born this way”, to argue for being gay, to “God got it wrong, I’m in the wrong body and we, arrogantly, believe we’re able to change it”.
It has to be the biggest lie ever told. That we’re in this state of mass psychosis where enough believe in this is astonishing. It really says something about the human condition. Our arrogance knows no bounds. If you have no God, you will make one.
Clearly Pride has become that cult. It is both philosophical and political. You’re not allowed to speak against it. Michigan (my State) is now drafting laws respective to ‘misgendering’ somebody, making it criminal. Don’t tell me this isn’t totalitarian, it’s gone off the rails and the people pushing it are like rabid demons laughing at anything resembling normalcy, which in the west, is Judeo-Christian values.
This spiritual war is going to have to come to a conclusion, it’s unfolding very rapidly.
Doesn’t Michigan have a large Muslim population? I would think those new laws will have a collision with that sector.
Christians are being singled out as bigots. because of their beliefs. What of Muslims?
Yes, it does. The largest population of Middle Easterners outside of the Middle east. Not just Muslims, Chaldean’s too - and they’re *very* religious.
Hamtramck City voted for no Pride events.
So yeah...it’ll conflict.
Doesn’t Michigan have a large Muslim population?
Yes Detroit and surrounding areas.
