As is always the case with Tucker, this is worth watching in full:
Here's the transcript of the part where the fire dials up:
Tucker: I would like to begin with the loud and at times violent response to the end of Roe v. Wade that came down to the Supreme Court on Friday, as you know.
If you've been following this, you may have noticed a profound change in the way the Democratic Party talks about the issue of abortion. Gone is the empathy or the room for compromise. So, from the very beginning of this debate 50 years ago, even the staunchest pro-lifer acknowledged the anguish of young women who are pregnant and don't want to be, who were alone and feel trapped by the child growing inside them. And that is the reason that pro-life institutions had built crisis pregnancy centers and to be fair, for generations, even the most committed pro-choicers acknowledge the inherent sadness of abortion, which, at the very least, is the end of a potential life.
"I do not view abortion as a choice," said Joe Biden as recently as 2006. "I think it's always a tragedy." And of course, it always is a tragedy, even if you believe it should be legal and Democrats once said this out loud forthrightly. In fact, in 1997, as White House counsel, now Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan urged her boss, Bill Clinton, to sign a ban on partial-birth abortions. Elena Kagan has always been pro-choice, but ending the life of a child a week before birth was too much, even for her. And of course, for his part, Bill Clinton never spoke about abortion as anything but as a last resort. He famously described it as something that should be, "safe, legal and rare."
You don't hear that on the left anymore ever. In fact, many on the left now behave as if abortion is itself a positive good, excited by the fact that a child who would have been born wasn't. Think about that for a moment – celebrating the failure of a child to come into the world. What does that say about how you feel about children or about people? In fact, some behave as if having an abortion is preferable to having children.
Carlson also touched on the growing corporate move to fund worker abortions:
So, what is that exactly? What about the thought of having children makes these people so angry? Where does an attitude like that come from? Well, as it turns out, that attitude comes from the same place the Democratic Party now gets all of its attitudes, directly from corporate America. Corporate America wants you childless and this is a big change. A 100 years ago, big companies built housing for the families of their employees and then schools and libraries to educate them. It was the humane thing to do, but it also seemed to make good business sense at the time. If you wanted workers you could count on, you had to take care of them and their offspring, but over time, that arrangement got expensive. ...
If you're running the H.R. department at Citibank, that is the last thing you want. Children make your health care plan more expensive. Worse than that, they tend to compete with an employee's attention. Responding to after work emails seems less pressing to most new moms than putting their own kids to bed.
That's a huge problem for big companies, so they have every incentive to prevent their workers from having children. You can't say that out loud, of course. It would it be too obvious. Give us the best years of your life and in exchange we'll pay you what's effectively a subsistence wage in whatever overpriced urban hellscape we're based in and then take from you the one thing that might give your existence meaning and joy in middle age, which is having children. That's the deal we're offering. That is the deal they're offering, but they can't say that. It would sound like what it is, which is exploitation, no better than what the cotton mills once did to 14-year-old girls.
As usual, Tucker says the truth like nobody else can.
