| Hey, it's Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Belmont Hill is a small private school outside of Boston. | ||
| It's not famous for its athletics. | ||
| The school's mascot isn't even an animal. | ||
| It's an 18th century navigational tool. | ||
| The Belmont Hill sextants doesn't even make sense. | ||
| So when it comes to sports, Belmont Hill is not trying very hard. | ||
| But the school's athletic program can claim at least one important footnote to history. | ||
| In 1975, its football roster contained two names that you will recognize even now. | ||
| Mark Milley and Richard Levine. | ||
| Milley is now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. | ||
| Levine, of course, is our country's most famous admiral. | ||
| Both transitioned late in life into overweight, middle-aged women. | ||
| Both wound up working as high-level officials in the Joe Biden administration. | ||
| Their teammates at the All Boys School in Boston probably wouldn't have predicted any of that. | ||
| Here's what Rick Levine looks like now from a video he just posted on Instagram. | ||

Hello, my name is Admiral Rachel Levine, and I have the honor of being the Assistant Secretary for Health at the United States Department of Health and Human Services. | |
| Happy Pride! | ||
| Happy Pride Month, and actually, let's declare it a summer of pride. | ||
| Happy summer of pride. | ||
| Happy summer of pride! | ||
| Rick Levine is so darn proud, he'd like to tell you about it all summer, and possibly into the fall. | ||
| He's got a lot to be proud of. | ||
| What specifically, you ask? | ||
| Well, strangely, he doesn't say. | ||
| Nor does he mention his former wife or children. | ||
| He doesn't tell us whether they're proud, too. | ||
| Since none of them have been invited onto the Today Show to talk about their feelings, we're going to have to guess. | ||
| For now, we're going to assume that his former family is proud. | ||
| And why wouldn't they be? | ||
| Few Americans in our history has come as far as Rick Levine. | ||
| Here's a fat guy in a Halloween costume who somehow became a federal health minister. | ||
| Not a small thing. | ||
| You try that. | ||
| Not too long ago, this same man was a married pediatrician with kids lecturing about eating disorders at Penn State. | ||
| Now he's emerged as a path-breaking lady admiral with medals on his chest. | ||
| And he did all of that without winning a single naval battle, or even being female. | ||
| It's pretty inspiring. | ||
| What we have here is living proof that in this country, you really can be whatever you want to be. | ||
| If Rick Levine can become Admiral Rachel, why can't you be Napoleon? | ||
| Or Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India? | ||
| Ever see that guy's uniform? | ||
| Or why not Shaka, the legendary Zulu war chief? | ||
| You could bring your Asagai and Leopard Hide shield to work at Deloitte and no one would be allowed to say a word about it. | ||
| The HR department would have your back. | ||
| Unfortunately, you can't actually do any of that. | ||
| The point of Rick Levine's amazing transformation is not to free you from the inflexible husk that you were born in. | ||
| So you can be more fully yourself, whatever you decide that is. | ||
| No, that's not the point. | ||
| Rick Levine's personal journey has nothing to do with you. | ||
| It's about him. | ||
| It's his journey. | ||
| Your fantasies about becoming something totally new and different have not been approved yet. | ||
| In fact, they're weird. | ||
| Shaka, the Zulu war king? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| That's racist. | ||
| Shut up and be proud of Admiral Rachel. | ||

I, Rachel L. Levine. | |
| She's the one who has smashed glass ceilings. | ||
| You just got some kind of weird fetish. | ||
| So actually, now that we're saying this out loud, it's pretty clear that Rick Levine has no interest in liberating you from anything. | ||
| This is not about liberation. | ||
| It's just the opposite. | ||
| It's just another religious war, same as all the others. | ||
| The people who think they're God versus everybody else. | ||
| In primitive civilizations, which would include every civilization since the beginning of time until ours, people assumed there were rules. | ||
| Rules that no human being made, but that people could ignore only at their peril, at great risk. | ||
| Some called these rules nature or natural law or even, as societies advanced, theology. | ||
| But most of the time, people didn't call them anything. | ||
| They didn't have to. | ||
| There wasn't a debate about whether the rules were real. | ||
| People assumed there were consequences to pretending that you were God. | ||
| They thought Sodom and Gomorrah were real places. | ||
| They were destroyed for disobedience. | ||
| They imagined the same thing could happen to them. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| Rick Levine doesn't worry about being punished by forces he can't see. | ||
| He knows he's in charge. | ||
| He makes the rules. | ||
| He sets the limits. | ||
| Reality is what he says it is. | ||
| That's his view, and he shares it with virtually everybody else in a position of authority in the United States. | ||
| That's a pretty bold bet, really. | ||
| For seven million years, human beings have believed one thing, presumably based on some evidence. | ||
| Around 2015, they became convinced of something completely different. | ||
| Are they right? | ||
| It feels like we're going to find out soon. | ||
