WHAT GIVES: Tucker Carlson Is Not Telling the Trust of Joe Biden's State of the Union

At the 11;22 mark in Tucker's video (below), Tucker Carlson says that Joe Biden began by comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler, and said, "If he wins, you will die, and so will your country. Thats the first sentence."

That was nowhere near the first sentence of Joe Biden's speech. After making a dumb joke to applause that he should just go home now (while he's got people liking him), these were the opening lines of Biden's speech: 

"Mr. Speaker. Madam Vice President. Members of Congress. My Fellow Americans.

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation.

He said, “I address you at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union.”

Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe.

President Roosevelt’s purpose was to wake up the Congress and alert the American people that this was no ordinary moment.

Freedom and democracy were under assault in the world.

Tonight I come to the same chamber to address the nation.

Now it is we who face an unprecedented moment in the history of the Union.

And yes, my purpose tonight is to both wake up this Congress, and alert the American people that this is no ordinary moment either.

Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today.

What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack, both at home and overseas, at the very same time.

Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond.

If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not.

But Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself. That is all Ukraine is asking. They are not asking for American soldiers.

In fact, there are no American soldiers at war in Ukraine. And I am determined to keep it that way.

But now assistance for Ukraine is being blocked by those who want us to walk away from our leadership in the world."""

Now, I don't agree with Biden's characterization of current events, but let's face facts, Tucker Carlson is absolutely not referring to an actual event in real life. Biden did not begin his speech with those words.

What gives?

Did Biden utter those words later in the speech?

Was Tucker Carlson watching an AI-generated version of the SOTU speech?
