Fox News host Tucker Carlson explored some of the double standards erected by Democrats and the corporate media for controversial public figures such as Volodymyr Zelemsky, janet Yellen, and Sam Bankman-Fried on his show this week.
“We are going to start with a quiz. What do you have when you find Sam Bankman-Fried, Janet Yellen and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine all together in one room?” Carlson said. “A federal grand jury proceeding? That would be a good guess.”
“Sam Bankman-Fried seems to have committed the biggest financial fraud in history,” Carlson added. “As the chair of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen bears direct responsibility for the destruction of the entire U.S. economy. President Zelenskyy, meanwhile, sits atop a money-laundering scheme so brazen that Democrats won’t even allow it to be audited.”
“So, yes, these are three people who could badly use a federal investigation, but they’re not getting one,” Carlson said. “Instead, they’re being celebrated, held up as uniquely fascinating people by The New York Times.”
Carlson continued, “In case you missed it, today was the annual DealBook Summit. That’s a money-making event the newspaper advertises as a symposium with “top business leaders. Tickets went for $2,500 a piece. Sam Bankman-Fried, Janet Yellen and Volodymyr Zelenskyy were all there, apparently in their capacity as top business leaders.

“Some people, The New York Times has explained, have views that are so reprehensible these people are physically off limits,” Carlson said. “You cannot be in the same room with people like that.”
“You can’t talk to them. You can’t ask them questions. Their opinions are like smallpox: communicable and deadly. These are the thought criminals and thought crimes are the only crimes that matter. Other crimes? Not such a big deal. Murder and rape and carjacking? As The New York Times has often told us, people who do those things are the victims of your racism, so they deserve compassion.”
“So, by the way, do good liberals who stray outside the lines,” Carlson said. “Good liberals can always be forgiven, even when the things they’ve done are objectively very, very bad, like tanking the U.S. economy or stealing billions from investors and using it to buy Bahamian real estate or bringing the entire world to the brink of nuclear war and getting rich while you do it.”
“Liberals can still do these things and you can still heartily applaud them because in the end, you know their hearts are in the right place,” the Fox News host continued. “They believe the right things.”
“With that in mind, it probably is not a surprise that no one at The New York Times bothered to ask Zelenskyy today where exactly all the money has gone,” Carlson said. “No one demanded an accounting of the billions of your tax dollars that seem to have disappeared into the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs in tracksuits because asking would have been rude.”
“He was our guest,” Carlson concluded. “So instead, The New York Times gave Zelenskyy an opportunity to demand much more of your money, which of course, he promptly took.”
