Tucker Carlson: “The promise of America is that things get a little better…”

“Everything's totally different. All the attitudes different. The people are different. The economy is totally different. That's like an act of violence against you. Actually, that's not the promise of America. The promise of America is that things get a little better. Not maybe radically better, but your kids have a shot at a little better life than you had. That's the american dream. The american dream is not that you wake up and, like, you don't even recognize this place.” (31:40–31:47)
