Tucker Carlson has warned America is due for “abrupt change” in a stark warning about the nation’s fortunes.
The broadcaster told an audience that many Americans are concerned about “end times” as he alluded to the US economy’s troubles.
The Daily Caller co-founder delivered an impassioned speech at the Daily Caller News Foundation Gala on Tuesday where he questioned the funds being pumped into foreign aid.
“You know what doesn’t work? Saying we’re going to spend $100 billion in other countries”, he said.

In what appeared to be a reference to Joe Biden’s administration’s commitment to helping Ukraine in its war efforts with Russia, Carlson said he “doesn’t care” how “virtuous” the case each country makes.
The Biden administration and Congress have so far provided Ukraine with a staggering $113 billion in aid according to a Centre for Strategic and International Studies report.

Carlson went on to issue a more grave warning for what is in store for the US, adding that many Americans can sense “something bad” on the horizon.
He said: “I mean, if you’ve been to church once in the last year, have you thought about the end times recently?
“Yes, you have… because you can feel that abrupt change is coming and that’s very disconcerting.”

He added: “If something really dramatic in your country happens — like young people can’t, I don’t know, get married, you know, or buy houses or have any hope for a future that approaches, you know, the middle class upbringing they had — then you’ve got a huge problem and someone should be responding to that".
“And if your economy is like on the brink of collapse, you know, if your country is literally bankrupt, I hope someone would say that.”
Biden’s administration also recently asked Congress to pass an aid package of nearly $106 billion with the majority of funding going towards Ukraine.
The rest of the sum would be split between Israel, the Indo-Pacific region and the US border.
The President faces opposition with House Republicans pushing back on the proposal including California Rep. Mike Garcia who claimed there was “no exit” to the war.
He argued that the US is simply funnelling funds to Ukraine with little strategy on how the money will be spent to aid war efforts.
Record number of migrants entering the country illegally was also a key component of Carlson’s speech, saying the country’s social fabric has been left “in tatters”.
“We’ve let in millions upon millions of people who have no affinity for the United States, who are merely here for the economic benefits,” Carlson said.
“Which by the way is not all bad — and I think a lot of them are good people, I’m not attacking them. I’m merely saying their addition does not make us a more cohesive country, it makes it a far less cohesive country.”
