Words From Tucker

See - Tucker's been on FOX Nation for a while.

Never seen it. Not paying for it, it's not compelling enough to pay for it.

I also know that O'Reilly has been on Newsmax and The First. Never watched it.
Gotta admit, deep down it really wasn't hard to believe he could have been a sexist pig.

Just lost interest.

If it was Don Lemon they wouldn't care. But who wants to listen to him, besides people stuck in airports.

FIFTY MILLION VIEWS! In less than 24 hours. That’s the power of Twitter. Tucker may have lost the imprimatur and positive brand association from being on Fox. But he’s gained a much bigger audience. And I wonder if there are some folks who would have never watched Tucker, BECAUSE he was on Fox, who might now give him a try. In other words, whatever Tucker lost from disaffiliation, he seems to be gaining in other ways.

Here’s how Tucker began last night’s show (lightly edited for brevity):

“Let’s say you wanted to control a country… Let’s say you wanted to control how people think … like a god would. In that case, you need to take charge of society’s taboos.”​

“Before recently, it was taboo in this country to attack someone on the basis of their race … that made sense … but apparently we no longer believe it. Punishing people is now mandatory … as long as their skin color is white.”​

“Adultery was considered disqualifying for office … [for example,] Clinton was very nearly derailed over his relationship with Jennifer Flowers. He went to elaborate lengths [to cover for it] … because he had no choice… [But] by 2008, it was obvious to anybody who was paying attention that Barack Obama had a strange and highly-creepy personal life, yet nobody asked him about it… It’s Barack Obama’s business, not yours.”​

“One by one, with increasing speed, our old taboos have been struck down. Those that remain have lost their moral force. Stealing, flaunting your wealth, striking women, smoking marijuana on the street, shameless public hypocrisy, taking other people’s money for not working. All of these things used to be considered unacceptable in America; not anymore.”​

“So it probably shouldn’t surprise us that the greatest taboo of all is teetering on the edge of acceptability: child molestation. A generation ago, TALKING to someone else’s children about sex was widely considered grounds for a thrashing. Touching them sexually was effectively a death penalty offense. When [child rapist] Jeffrey Dahlmer was bludgeoned to death in the bathroom of a Wisconsin prison in 1994, the Milwaukee district attorney had to caution the public not to turn Dahlmer’s killer into a folk hero.”​

He’s right. For whatever reason, our society has inverted a lot of conduct that used to be considered “bad,” but is now treated as “neutral” — none of your business — or even celebrated and often encouraged as something to be “proud” of. Tucker’s point reminded me of Isaiah 5:20, first scribbled thousands of years ago:

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”

Indeed. Woe to the society that ashcans its taboos, elevating exciting, transgressive darkness over boring, judgmental light. Woe especially to the society that jettisons its fundamental mores to protect its vulnerable women, children, and elderly.

🔥 As I’ve said many times before, at this point WE are no longer corporate media’s customers. The real customers of captured media are: first, government health, law enforcement, intelligence, and military agencies. Second, Big Pharma. And coming in at a distant third, a long raft of smaller corporations that don’t really contribute much revenue, but are helpful to obscure and conceal the existence of the first two customer groups.

With the possible exception of its anemic streaming product, Fox doesn’t sell anything direct to consumers. We’re not Corporate Media’s customers. We are the product that Corporate Media sells to its real customers.

Furthermore, Twitter and cable are totally different markets; they’re not even close. It’s hard to logically compare them without laughing. Fox can’t restrict a former employee from working in a different market. It would be like Indiana Wagon Wheel Corporation claiming its former employee can’t go to work for the Wright Brothers, because wagons and airplanes are both forms of transportation.

So instead, the lawsuit sounds a lot like Fox has sour grapes and is just trying to punish Tucker by making sure he can’t work in ANY market, which is not a legitimate, protectable business interest.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, for his part, is playing things perfectly:



Nobody can criticize Elon for “allowing” Tucker to express himself on Twitter. Musk is busy encouraging differing opinions to come on, too. And I’m sure he means it. But, by linking Carlson’s show in the process of encouraging liberal influencers like Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow, Elon also promoted Tucker’s show to his own massive follower audience. So.

Finally, enjoy the Babylon Bee’s take on Tucker’s new show:

Tucker's Legal Team Responds to Fox News' Cease-and-Desist Letter​



Tucker Carlson's legal team has responded to Fox News' cease-and-desist letter after the former host started posting video commentary on current events on his Twitter account, which has garnered millions of views.

The network is accusing Carlson of breaching his contract, which he still has with them until the end of 2024.

"Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations," attorney Harmeet Dhillon told Axios.

"Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election," she continued. "Tucker will not be silenced by anyone ... He is a singularly important voice on matters of public interest in our country, and will remain so."

Dhillon said because of Fox News' actions, she decided to no longer appear on the channel.

This is one of the most shameful things to happen in the history of our country.
This is a political act an effort to stop Trump from running for President.
It is treasonous, but so was the last election.

For a party to participate in cheating to put their man in the White House against the American voter is Treason.

“Of course Joe Biden is not a wannabe dictator just because he’s trying to put the other candidate in prison for the rest of his life for a crime he himself committed. That doesn’t mean he has a totalitarian impulse. Come on, that’s absurd,” Carlson mocked.

“First off, there is the money,” he continued. “The one thing that all dictators have in common is they enrich themselves and their families, their tribe, even as the countries they govern grow steadily poorer and more desperate.”

Tucker noted how Saddam Hussein’s sons “lived above the law, indulging their most decadent fantasies with total confidence they would never be held to account by the police,” but no such parallel exists with Joe Biden. Nope, just pretend that Hunter Biden doesn’t exist,” he continued sarcastically.

He went on to highlight other examples of dictatorial behavior that Biden “isn’t” guilty of, all with the same sarcasm: the restricting of free speech, the disarming of citizens, the right to self-defense, the tracking and surveilling of citizens, etc.

Carlson even compared Biden’s obvious mental decline to when North Korean dictator Kim Il-sung had a large tumor on his neck and the state media ignored it.

“Thankfully, nothing like that is happening in our country or ever will,” Carlson mocked.

“A nation is like a family. Every family has a head, a father. That’s Joe Biden, our nation’s father, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is now his fatherland,” Carlson said. “Just don’t call it a dictatorship, or we’ll have to issue a statement disavowing you.”
