On Sunday, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson delivered a powerful speech at Madison Square Garden, rallying supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Former President Donald Trump laughs with Tucker Carlson and Rep. Byron Donalds during the first day of the Republican National Convention. The RNC kicked off the first day of the convention with the roll call vote of the states on July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wis.

Carlson, addressing the crowd at an event featuring various Trump allies, aimed his criticism at what he described as the “political establishment” and urged voters to stand openly in support of Trump as Election Day approaches.

Carlson’s speech centered on themes of media and political bias, with strong words for the elite figures who, he argued, have shaped public opinion against Trump. “The big lie is that they’re impressive,” Carlson told the audience.

“The people in charge have somehow earned the right to rule over you, and they haven’t. And you know that.” Carlson criticized what he called the “useless elite,” claiming they were insulated by wealth and power while maintaining no real connection to the everyday American experience.

Referencing Trump’s resilience in returning to New York City despite multiple threats, Carlson praised Trump’s resolve, noting that it symbolizes the courage he hopes to see in his supporters.

“Donald Trump’s going to win,” Carlson said. “The people he’s about to defeat have no idea why people like Donald Trump.” Carlson went on to say that Trump’s tenacity has inspired others to be bold in their support.

The rally included high-profile appearances from various Trump allies, including Elon Musk, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and even a surprise appearance by former First Lady Melania Trump. Carlson’s message aligned with Trump’s calls to push back against what they claim is a biased media landscape and political system.

Carlson directly addressed Trump’s supporters, urging them to be vocal about their support and dismissing any fear of backlash. “They’re not afraid to voice their support for the candidate who will keep them rich and elite despite being ‘useless,’” Carlson argued, calling for Trump voters to take a similarly outspoken approach.

Carlson also made a pointed argument against Kamala Harris’s campaign, suggesting it would struggle to garner widespread support without interference.

He expressed skepticism about Harris’s ability to secure a fair victory, predicting potential issues at the ballot box. “It’s going to be pretty tough for them, 10 days from now, to look America in the eye and say, ‘Kamala Harris, she got 85 million votes because she’s just so impressive,’” Carlson commented.

He urged supporters to participate openly in this election, describing the power of being able to freely express their support. “It’s the freedom to say what’s obviously true as a free man and not a slave,” Carlson concluded, expressing gratitude to Trump for his influence on the movement.

Carlson’s message at Madison Square Garden underscores the final push to energize Trump’s base in the days leading up to the election, with an emphasis on voter turnout and visibility.
