He's just getting out ahead of the Christian Nationalist BS train that's coming down the tracks, positioning himself as a spiritual pundit for the morons.

Tucker needs to be outrageous and get attention or heโ€™ll slide into irrelevancy like Glenn Beck.

Clearly when Little Lord Fishsticks says that nuclear tech came from "demons," what he really means is that it came from (((demons))).

As a son of Manhattan Project parents I am pretty sure my dad was not a demon. As far as my mom being a demon; it's best to not talk poorly of the dead.

"No one can isolate the exact moment โ€œwhere nuclear technology became known to manโ€ because, like pretty much all other scientific discoveries of that kind, it was a process contributed to by many scientists over many years."

Exactly. It started with Marie Currie and her Radium. Then science does what it does. Then the military did what they do. It's not that complicated.

Dad was there for the first chain reaction under the stands of the University of Chicago Stagg Field. The start of the atomic age.

"...but to see the Treasury Secretary, that dwarf Janet Yellen, get up and say, you know, you can do your part to help the American economy by killing your child..."

More made-up shit by an asshole desperate to regain the MAGAs' ears. There oughta be a law against bullshit like this over the airwaves/Internet ( of course, if there was, the only thing let would be the pron ).

He says "nuclear technology" because he doesn't know what it is, but a smarmy generalization will do

I think it's important to remember that Tucker doesn't believe any of this. He's a nepo baby con artist honing his material and looking for for new set of marks.

Tucker's denouncement of nuclear weapons

is just the latest hint

that Putin has lately realized than Russia's nuclear armaments

have been allowed to decay into garbage

by the oligarchs who have been strangling every Russian source of wealth.

Turns out nuclear weapons are high maintenance items.

So, now nuclear weapons are demonic, sinful things

that must never be used (against Russia).

King James VI of Scotland, later KIng James I of England, wrote a whole book about demons and witches and the weird and creepy things they do. I'm not sure where Donnie, Elno and Tucks would be classified. Or even what their favorite bedtime visitor would be. The incubi were the male of that species while the succubi were the females. See for yourself:

Should we have a seance and bring back King James to help us classify these guys? I'm confident that he would identify them as residents of Hell.

The grift pivot is pretty obvious, ole Tuck just decided one day to take "Myths and Superstitions" for a Million, Alex! So that's the set up, where's the payoff? Where do we send our money so Tucker can stop demons and hurricanes and A Bombs created by demons?

I'm still waiting for him to connect abortion (or child sacrifice or whatever) to hurricanes.

Welp, it's just science. If removing a cluster of as-yet-undifferentiated cells is the same as infanticide, is it really such a stretch to equate those "murders" with "causal factors for ever-increasing tropical storms", especially if you know exactly squat about human reproduction and the physics of hurricanes? It's easy, any moron can do it.

"For approximately 30 minutes, the reactor would go critical, with fission proceeding until the water boils away. Over the next ~150 minutes, there would be a cooldown period, after which water would flood the mineral ore again and fission would restart.

This three hour cycle would repeat itself for hundreds of thousands of years, until the ever-decreasing amount of U-235 reached a low-enough level, below that ~3% amount, that a chain reaction could no longer be sustained. At that point, all that both U-235 and U-238 could do is radioactively decay."
