TUCKER CARLSON: Well, he really meant it with the Bushes. He hated them
because they were WASPs. He hates WASPs, but he’s also obsessed with
them. I’ve talked to him about it many times. And he’s obsessed with
them. And he feels —
BUCKLEY CARLSON: I mean, the whole Mar-a-Lago was built when he was denied entry into the B&T.
..
TUCKER
CARLSON: You were there and we’re having lunch at the Bath Tennis Club
and everyone’s like, “Oh, Donald Trump is building a club across the
street for basically to give us the finger. And no, we’re not letting
him or any of his friends in our club.” And I don’t think they have to
this day, 40 years later. Anyway, none of that was ever reported by
anybody.
...
TUCKER CARLSON: There were a lot of dynamics
here. Yes. Going on that nobody ever wants to talk about. We just happen
to have witnessed them firsthand, so I know exactly what this was. But
Trump’s resentment toward the WASPs was the driving force there, really.
And he was an outer boroughs guy, never felt accepted by them, always
wanted to be— always bragging, “I went to Penn.” Like, okay, Penn, you
know? And like, they never liked him, they never accepted him, and boy
did he get them back.
..
TUCKER CARLSON: And even to this day,
I mean, 6 weeks ago I was talking to him about this, his resentment
toward the Bushes and its ethnic and social.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: He acknowledges that literally upfront?
TUCKER CARLSON: No, of course not. But he’s very fixated on the WASP thing and does talk about it a lot.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: I believe it.
...
TUCKER
CARLSON: Yeah, I don’t know, but you get what you put up with, and they
put up with it and like, oh, it’s okay, you have a good point. Anyway,
but yeah, no, he wanted to destroy the Bushes because, you know, he
didn’t agree with their program, I guess. He said he didn’t agree with
their program, but the real reason he wanted to destroy them was, you
know, they go to the B&T and he doesn’t.

TUCKER
CARLSON: Preserve the truth. Preserve the truth. Let’s preserve the
truth. So I just want this to be a record of the truth. And that, you
know, status anxiety, which is a huge driver of human behavior. Is it
not?
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Yes.
TUCKER CARLSON: It’s a huge
driver of President Trump’s behavior. Huge driver of his behavior. Plays
a role in all this stuff. These unannounced conflicts between groups
for power and prestige and rank. These are big questions.
..
TUCKER
CARLSON: Exactly. And so if you have the total displacement after over
200 years of the American ruling class by a new group, that’s a big
thing. Yes. But nobody says a word about it. And I’m not even taking
sides in it, though, you know, obviously I have a side to take, but I’m
not taking sides in it. But like, that happened. It happened over 40
years. And now it’s complete. And like, no one can say that that
happened? Are you kidding? It’s absurd. Yeah. But good or bad, like, by
the way, that is the story of history. Like, groups displace other
groups. And there’s reasons for that and survival of the fittest and all
that.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Got it.
TUCKER CARLSON: Not even
decrying it. I’m just saying the fact that no one will acknowledge that
that happened and that it had massive effects on everything and that
those resentments or aspirations drive behavior that has results that we
see all around us and no one will say it, it’s really shocking.
