Frank Luntz is an insufferable political putz and UniParty gatekeeper {See HERE – and HERE – and HERE}, but Fox News always protected their swamp spokesperson… until now. In Friday Night’s opening monologue Tucker Carlson took-on the DeceptiCon contract agent known as Frank Luntz.
Something is happening in the background for Fox News to give permission (perhaps instructions) to Tucker Carlson to be able to do this.
Everything Carlson notes is accurate; the expose’ is absolutely correct; but I cannot stop wondering why now? …And why Tucker Carlson? Carlson was always a member of the approved DeceptiCon establishment. This reversal doesn’t seem real. Watch this segment. Check the links above to absorb the full background.
.
Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious.
Hi Sundance, I am a semi-regular reader and real fan since the St. Trayvon of Skittles days. Sincere question: Do you really think Tucker is a Decepticon? Can you give me an example or two? Sorry if you have already addressed this question and I missed it.
My thought (before you said what you said) was that Tucker is an authentic paleocon-civic nationalist-populist.
I’ve watched Tucker Carlson every day since his show aired and I’ve found he has been calling out the Republicans for some time now. And he calls it as he sees it. In fact this site has sent us to Carlson’s monologues often. So your guess is as good as mine.
A lot of Trump supporters soured on Tucker after the threw Sidney Powell under the bus, and was rather spineless on the election fraud in general, though I have noticed recently he regularly mentions voter fraud.
Was Tucker wrong? How’s Sidney’s election fraud cases coming along?
Tucker strikes me as someone nearly identical to Andrew Breitbart… raised in the belly of the beast … knows how they think … knows how they operate. That adjacency does not make Tucker evil
>>Was Tucker wrong?<<
No, he wasn’t and I didn’t say he was.
I pointed this out when Tucker first aired his segment and got lambasted for my troubles. I feel somewhat vindicated.
Was Tucker wrong about what? Did Tucker do an investigation into the voter fraud in Georgia? Did he delve into why the Georgia convention center (where ballots were being counted) was closed down for a water leak that never happened? Did he ask what was going on in the video obtained of individuals taking suitcases full of ballots out from under tables and feeding them through machines AFTER the poll workers were sent home for the night because of a water main break that never happened? If Tucker did do a show on that, I must have missed it. If Tucker was really doing anything as an honest journalist or interested in helping the American people to get to the truth he wouldn’t have just had Sidney on and done a hit job on her. He asked her for evidence which had not yet been presented in a court. Why do you suppose he did that? Comparing Andrew Breitbart who as far as I can tell was a champion at getting to the truth to Tucker, who is controlled opposition is just ludicrous.
Fox News was scared of lawsuits about voter fraud and they put pressure on Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham to slow down on accusations of fraud. Dominion intimidated them all with billion-dollar lawsuits.
Let’s see what happens when and IF the AZ audit turns up some evidence ?
Oh please! Wake up people! Seriously WAKE UP! Who owns Fox News? The globalists, that’s who! What is the globalists end game? The Great Reset. Look it up. Further, where in my comment above did I mention Dominion Voting machines? And while I am of the belief that Dominion Machines were used to cheat, and there is proof already out there, Antrim County Michigan forensic audit proved that, I said nothing about Dominion. There was plenty of other investigative work that could have been done if our media wasn’t 100% globalist owned propaganda. Spare me the silly excuse “they were afraid of lawsuits”.
Fox News ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED in the steal by calling Arizona early. Just like when McCain and Graham met with O’Reilly et al and told them they couldn’t get amnesty passed if Fox and talk radio were against it and convinced them to support it. They needed Fox to participate in the steal to legitimize it for GOPe voters. The daytime hosts parroted the talking points, leading up to the election, that Trump was going to lose and it would seem like he was winning but then after mail in ballots were counted he would lose.
I’m a Trump supporter and Tucker fan and didn’t take offense to the Powell incident. Everyone knew she couldn’t provide any evidence to the likes of Fox News at that time and I don’t fault Tucker for asking for it.
Tucker is on the air to make money.
Thats it.
Fox knows Tucker makes them money, Tucker knows it, we know it, etc.
Tucker isn’t MAGA.
He’s a highbrow Hannity.
Controlled opposition,
Do you fault Tucker for not doing an investigation into the KNOWN fraud that was discovered in Michigan and Georgia?
YES I DO.
Tucker did not throw Sidney under the bus – just asked to see her evidence – which no one has seen. We hope to see it in her defense against Dominion Software.
On the other hand, why would Dominion sue Sidney for defamation if their software can be manipulated?
We’ll soon find out, because Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell have also been sued and all three are hanging tough, unlike Newsmax!
Newsmax wimped out and settled with Dominion and had to grovel and kiss their @$$ for forgiveness.
…On the other hand, why would Dominion sue Sidney for defamation if their software can be manipulated?…
…Newsmax wimped out and settled with Dominion and had to grovel and kiss their @$$ for forgiveness….
*****************
You said it yourself – Dominion sued Powell in the hopes she would wimp out, settle, grovel, and kiss @$$.
Tucker Carlson said in the latest interview with Rudy G, that the Lincoln Project was the reason Trump lost the election. THAT is not a mention of the real voter/election fraud by any means! Listen to the recent interview with Rudy.
Sidney threw ‘herself’ under that bus. He was asking valid questions and she didn’t have answers for them.
Anyone who calls Tucker a “Decepticon” is a Decepticon.
Tucker is controlled opposition.
I have suspected that he’s controlled opposition for quite some time.
During the runnup to the election I started taking notes on comments he made that confirmed my suspicions. He asks all of the right questions for conservatives to believe that he’s on their side, but if you listen closely to his follow up you’ll discover where he really stands.
It’s very subtle, but you’ll see it if you don’t have confirmation bias that he’s legit.
“Controlled Opposition”…. a term I read a lot lately, just like the talking points from CNN and lamestream media.
I’ve followed Tucker for ‘years’ and he calls balls and strikes on all sides. Just when a ‘side’ doesn’t get all they want and can’t handle some criticism, they start throwing them right under the bus.
Tucker gets to talk about and present any topics he wants. He doesn’t get notes or suggestions or ever told what or what not to cover.
Look at what he did to Luntz, a long time fixture on Fox.
If you’re looking for Puritans that will only side with whatever You want, good luck.
I think there’s been some concern that as with many who generally do and have done the right thing, there might be a point of hesitancy and going all the way needed when things reach an inflection point.
What came to mind for me was that whole Bobulinski incident. Anyone still remember that? Remember the talk of a real big reveal involving something that got shipped for authenticity, but after it was reportedly interrupted (sic) in transit, things appeared to get very quiet at a very critical time?
Just like that, a potential game changing October/November surprise essentially went away from the hard evidence side that could’ve taken this from speculation to requiring further reporting on it. And has anyone really heard about it since, especially in the context of the reported intercept?
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/29/tucker-carlson-updates-the-mysterious-case-of-ups-and-the-missing-and-reappearing-hunter-biden-bobulinski-documents/
Tucker Carlson is a libertarian. FOXNews is progressive/libertarian. It’s all an act when libertarians debate amongst themselves the behavior of their progressive counterparts.
FOX were neo cons for awhile, nothing liberatarian about that.
Fox put Tucker up to deliver the ridiculous, suspicious story of the Fulton County water main break on election night, which he did without skepticism. That confirmed Tucker’s place for me. Haven’t watched him since.
Your loss. This right here is exactly what’s wrong with this country. So Tucker said one thing you don’t agree with and that nullifies everything else?
Cancel culture is real….
Comment deleted by Admin…
@Nathan, I disagree with the analogy somewhat.
I agree that the conservatives need to have leaders, and need to unite behind honest political and legal representation.
I agree that our inability to unite is making us weaker, and we are being cornered.
With that said, we are no longer looking for words, because we no longer trust anybody who is in their ‘comfort zone’.
We are looking for action, and we are looking for sacrifice from whoever wants to claim / be considered our leadership.
It is now longer enough to sit on a Uniparty network (Foxnews) and claim solidarity with the conservative causes.
Move to OANN, make the financial sacrifice, Tucker.
We can see that Trump, Giuliani, Veritas Project leadership, and others — they took risk, they were punished by the
Bolshevik’s Department-of-Selective-Justice,
they were punished by their Federal-Bureau-Of-Entrapment.
But they made that sacrifice.
People will be believe them, will follow their leadership — even if they make mistakes — with more energy and enthusiam, than
they would follow the ‘words-only’ crowd.
So I agree with others who stop watching the uniparty networks such as FoxNews.
It is not because we are embracing the ‘cancel culture’, it is because we no-longer accept ‘words-only’.
We no-longer accept ‘pontification’. We want auction.
From Tucker — we want investigative journalism (like Project Veritas is providing),
we want him sponsoring community services that promote conservative principles. We want him join and fight against the Bolshevik
lawfare battalions. We want him investigating election fraud.
And we want him to leave the Uniparty network.
Good for him for exposing K-Street just like this blog was doing — but this not enough for a person in his position, with his resources.
It is a trust issue. I don’t trust him anymore. He folded on election fraud, just like he was told to.
This site is one of the few that emphasizes the role of the uniparty, a.k.a., K-Street. Tucker just exposed the machinations of K-street on prime time. Who cares what he is! He backed the claim this site has made for years. What other major media outlet is doing this?
Trust him? No. I don’t think even he thinks you should trust him. The point is that he said what has been needed to be said for years now. And needs to be said as often as possible.
No… he WAS trying to be authentic at the beginning. Do you know how many failed t.v. stints he’s had? He becomes a surprise hit, Trump was watching him to see who in his admin was a crook. THEN the overlords stepped in.
Tucker “lost” the evidence sent to him Hunter Biden was a crook. Then he VOUCHES for Hunter.
Election night during the great steal, Tucker looks like a hostage victim having to pretend he didn’t witness his own network help the steal.
Look at his face the next day, you know how unfazed he can be. He was genuinely shocked then they USE HIM to go on with the false claims Trump lost white men (who he gained like every other group).
THEN Breitbart (the new “Drudge” bought out betrayers) links to FOX noise Tucker articles AND turncoat Mann Coulter day in day out trying to HIDE ALL EVIDENCE OF CHEATING.
You think Tucker is legit, and our friend now?
Please post ONE piece of evidence on Tucker’s show about ALL the shenanigans, vote stealing, legal operatives AND how’s his reporting on Maricopa audit? Crickets?
I thought so.
Not only that, but when Lou Dobbs revealed all the cheating they fired honest Lou and told Tucker his role would be expanding.
He LIKES finally being on t.v. AND is willing to say whatever he needs to in order to stay, like his old colleague Joe Scarborough.
Yes, Tucker has been exposed as a Decepticon. I personally don’t know how long, I just know from Hunter hijinks forward he has been there distracting from and hiding everything that is truly important.
Rofl. If you were as hard on your elected officials as you are on Tucker this would be a different county but you go ahead and keep getting that low hanging fruit. Tucker isn’t your problem spineless conservatives are…
Yeah… I’ll take “all of the above” thank you.
When the cheats have the cover of fake UniParty news AND a crooked judiciary we’re cooked.
If YOU were abandoning FOX noise for real outlets AND doing something about your elected officials THEN we’ll get our reform.
So why was Lou Dobbs fired, then?
How you going to justify getting rid of the voice that Trump learned MUCH of his MAGA platform from who was defending him in a big way in the crucial weeks we were fighting the steal?
Tucker is controlled opposition. Comments like yours are proof it is successful.
If the left despises Tucker, there is something there to appreciate with his reporting/commentary.
I heard Tucker say that the Lincoln project is the reason Trump lost the election. That is the biggest piece of garbage to come out of Tucker’s pie hole I’ve ever heard. He is not to be trusted—-no freaking way!! Snake in the grass!!
Yep. Have not watched since 1-20-21. Tucker is compromised, at least as far as the election theft is concerned.
Watch Tucker when he had Brit Hume on and they both trashed President Trump. You are known by the people you invite on your show. It tells you a lot!
What about all the times Tucker ‘and’ Hume have defended and praised Trump? That counts for nothing?
“Known by the people you invite on your show”
Really? Tucker has ‘all types’ on his show. It’s called a ‘forum’ for a reason and one is to Debate.
So then Tucker is what if he has all sides on yet mostly those that support the country as a whole?
If you just hear what you believe, you never learn from the opposition and that’s not wise.
Some are big enough to hear opposing opinions and take them one by one instead of just ‘label’ someone based on one thing.
He’s actually just controlled opposition. Nothing more, nothing less.
“Controlled Opposition”….again!
Sounds like the talking points the leftist networks get to keep ‘word pushing’.
98% truth with 2% lie/agenda. Not pointing fingers here; just restating that a con is effective because it passes the trust meter.
His role looks to me to be that of pulling in the trust of the disgruntled. With that trust and retained viewership, the halter can be reapplied and reins attached.
>With that trust and retained viewership, the halter can be reapplied and reins attached.
Only if you let it.
Correct. That is why controlled opposition is so successful. Tucker has to appear to be “getting to the truth” on things occasionally, but please note they are things that just don’t matter. Who cares about Frank Luntz. Does exposing Frank Luntz for who and what he is REALLY mean anything? No.
Well, I would tend to agree with you, Leet, but…
we actually DID benefit by last night’s hit on Luntz: it served as a warning to the leadership of the GOPe that they *are being watched* and that they are not operating in a vacuum.
McCarthy has to wonder how long it will be before the “accusatory finger” swings toward HIM !!
The GOPe are being watched by who? To what end? Do you think the globalists give a rip if the GOPe is exposed?
When the entire RNC is consulting Luntx for talking points, you bet your sweet bippy it means something to hear about what a cad Luntz is.
The truth ‘occasionally’? Uh, a LOT MORE than occasionally.
YES! Exposing Luntz as part of the big problem the GOP has, messaging, is ‘very’ important.
Exposing ‘real science’ to all the control freaks about Covid IS very important and Does matter.
The unfairness to Giuliani comparted to Hunter and others IS very important and Does matter.
Hammering the leftist media on their propaganda IS very important and Does matter.
And there you go again…. “controlled opposition”.
Maybe it’s YOU trying to discredit Tucker because he DOES get it correct so often.
Maybe ‘you’ are the controlled opposition.
IMO The point Tucker was driving home was Luntz was bought and paid for by google and doing their bidding. He always verbalized Google with Luntz name. What an ugly character he has become.
.
Tucker Carlson, silver-spoon baby, is an entertaining talker. He’s great at delivering a message. That said, it’s unclear what his personal beliefs are, save for these issues:
— He’s adamantly against more immigration. (I suspect underlying distaste of “the underclasses”.)
— He’s vehemently against anything that might cause him personal harm. (E.g. why his first editorials about Covid were hysterical and 180 the wrong way.)
— On a minor note, he will push back against any other media that criticizes him.
If you listen carefully, Carlson is very patronizing in his commentary about the poor, struggling middle class, blue-collar worker Trump “deplorables” and fly-over country pathetics.
What? I’ve heard nothing from Tucker, other than defending every single policy that supports the working middle class.
You know you’re a leftist, if you interject class warfare (i.e. citing Tucker’s upper class status) into conservative discussion.
Agree. Tucker is a smooth operator, as that ole song goes. Smooth talker.
He savaged Sidney Powell on the voter fraud issue knowing that she was going to be unavailable that week for an interview because she was too busy with her own professional life commitments. Sidney even gave Tucker names he could get in touch with that could explain the voter fraud to him better than she could. Tucker ignored Sidney’s offer and smoothly did a character assination of her on his program omitting important truths.
I have not watched his show since. The only time I see him now is on places like cth.
As far as Luntz is concerned red flags went up for me on Lutnz before Trump was elected. He just seemed too programed with the PC, now the WOKE outlook.
Tucker threw Sidney under the bus, but he’s not having to take a knee like NewsNow and kiss Dominion’s butt…
Newsmax apologizes for vote manipulation claims against Dominion leader
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/newsmax-apologizes-vote-manipulation-claims-against-dominion-leader-n1266040
There was PLENTY of other voter fraud Tucker could have investigated outside of Dominion. The video of suitcases being pulled from under tables in Georgia for one. The forensic report on the Antrim County Michigan vote for another. The Cobo arena shenanigans in Michigan for another.
I forgot about that traitorous moment. I’d quit FOX Unimedia traitors by then and heard about it from the sidelines.
That was a really bad moment because Traitor Carlson got some of the middling types believing Sidney was a fraud.
My household quit Fox the night they declared Biden won AZ. They are dead to me. ALL OF THEM! I’m glad LOU left them. He was always a straight arrow.
Tucker connected Google to the Republican establishment and explained it to millions of viewers on prime time…and you are whining about silver spoons. Whatevs.
I think the “silver spoon” reference comes from that his step mother family owned Swanson Foods until it sold in the 80’s. No one but Tucker knows if he has directly benefited from his step mom’s trust.
Actually I know more than not.
His stepmother is still alive and that’s her money.
Her husband, his father is a self made man with money.
Tucker is currently making $10 million a year with Fox and been wealthy for ‘decades’.
There’s no reason for Tucker to get money from his stepmother and never been reported he had, all indications are he’s got nothing.
I don’t care about the reason why he did it, but he EXPOSED Luntz for who he really is. I had no idea about his relationship with Delta and Coca Cola and those others, but it shows you he is just another member of the Uniparty.
Ah, I’m pretty sure anyone paying attention connected Google to the establishment a long time ago. Actually, I think Sundance has in past posts. Why do you think Google was spared any anti-trust legislation when the Republicans were in charge of all three branches? Hmmm?
Put the pipe down!
People are really making stuff up now about Tucker. Go ahead, jump on the band wagon you non free thinkers.
‘Silver Spoon Baby’….. Just because his dad was once lower class that worked his way up doesn’t make him ‘silver spoon’. Tucker worked hard for all he’s got and got it ‘himself’.
Tucker has been one of the correct ones on Covid, masks and the use of covid for control.
We ‘all’ are against anything that might cause us personal harm, hello??
I’d push back on others that lie about me too, hello?
He’s NEVER been patronizing about poor or blue collar and ‘always’ defended those calling Trump supporters deplorables.
YOU SHOW you don’t have a CLUE about Tucker.
Seems maybe you’re of the left and trying to smear him because he’s hitting the mark.
You’re easily Read.
My guess is …. Luntz has been behind the scenes working the advertisers to boycott/pull their ads off the Tucker Carlson show and get Tucker fired somehow…Notice all the advertisers Tucker mentioned?? They don’t advertise on his show or Fox in general………Tucker found out Luntz is involved and is using his platform to expose Luntz for the Fraud he is …. Tucker is also letting the Fox board know he knows what’s going on without mentioning them…..
Seems like Tucker is laying the ground work for a possible Law Suit should he be removed like Lou Dobbs…..Remember, advertisers, Globalist etc. have been trying to get Tucker cancelled for at least a year now…..
That theory makes a lot of sense. It was counterstrike by Tucker. Always follow the money. Luntz is clearly a funding bundler for the global anti-MAGA organizations and then tells RINOs what they need to vote for and say to fool their voters in an attempt to cover their backstabbing of MAGA.
Thanks in large part to PDJT the vast majority of MAGA voters are now complete immune to these Jedi mind tricks. We aren’t going back no matter how many ads you buy. If PDJT opposes you or you oppose PDJT you are not going to get into office unless Dominion puts you in.
Whether Tucker is truly ally in this MAGA fight, or just paid opposition to keep up the fair and balanced image, or somewhere in between, I don’t know, but we need the air time, and when he is on point he is on point. Just like Gold, Truth is where you find it.
Luntz has spent the last 5 years of his bloated life dedicated to anti-Trumpism. And it has paid-off handsomely for him.
Oops … my bad, I used “handsome” in the same context as Frank Luntz. Sorry.
I caught a clip where he was Zooming from home… looked like a very spacious, well-stocked man-cave / office. He’s been cashing in, no doubt.
I thought having a replica oval office and Lincoln bedroom in your home was one of the weirdest things I have seen lately. Who does that? Someone who thinks they are “making or breaking” Presidents?
Exceptionally weird
I wonder if Putz purchased it from Glenn Beck?……And, is that the same oval office that Glenn Beck swore in DeceptiCON Ted Cruz as his imaginary president?
Maybe he could get a better hair piece now!
Why do monopolies NEED to advertise?
To keep up the impression they’re trying in a legit fashion.
Real work is the scheming, payola, machinations within gov and their by any means necessary of lowering labor costs which include the endless slave labor importing the entire third world and offshoring everything else
Correct. PR … lots of PR
I literally FUME as I watch PG&E “commercials” over and over and over massive $$$$ in commercials (not infrastructure maintenance) … as if I have a CHOICE of a Power Co. sheesh.
NAILED IT.
Sundance,
My theory is that Tucker Carlson is the mouthpiece for a dying breed of traditional, WASP-adjacent elites that had once dominated American politics. Carlson, and whatever faction he’s associated with, seem to be disgruntled by the incompetence of the managerial class, the lowering of social standards, and the lack of concern about America’s decline. They are looking to nudge society towards a more nationalism and conservatism friendly direction as a way to shore up its stability before it goes down under, and I think they’ve found an opening thanks to the trailblazing of Donald Trump.
I think Tucker Carlson’s dream is to witness the Jeb Bushes of the world finding common ground with the Donald Trumps of the world, reverse about 50 years of “progressivism”, and take a different fork in the road so they can combat the rise of Russia, China, etc., and stave off a violent revolution. And the perfect vehicle for this synthesis? Ron DeSantis. Think about it. Who else can claim the respect of both Jeb Bush and Donald Trump? And the brilliant part is that DeSantis, so far, hasn’t compromised on core MAGA principles—he’s simply taken Trumpism and made it more palatable to open-minded elites.
I’m not making any judgments about the motives of Tucker Carlson and company, etc., and you’re right to be skeptical about them, given how embedded they are in the DC establishment. But it doesn’t take a genius to see that the United States, and the rest of the Western world, is heading towards civilizational suicide if this trajectory continues—there has to be some people who see the writing on the wall, right?! It will be very difficult to re-assert control without some breakaway “insider” faction. Hopefully, this is the goal of Tucker Carlson’s project—to normalize America First ideas before its too late.
WASP-adjacent? And you expect this board to take you serious?
I am fond of using the phrase “lillywhite (and Asian) suburbs”. Why? Because my Asian and white neighbors share the same CULTURE. And let me add, that most of the heespanicks I know and work with, are similarly hard-working, family people who share a common culture with “my people”
So, go peddle your WASP-adjacent intersectionality on some CNN Board
I think you’re missing the point. I do not subscribe to progressivism, “wokeness”, etc., at all, and I think the ideology is a cancer on American society.
WASP isn’t inherently bad. In fact, it’s a core pillar of our national heritage. The Founding Fathers were almost all universally white, British, and Protestant. It was mostly WASPs who fought the American Revolution. The American political class used to be able to trace a direct lineage to the Founding Fathers until about… the 20th century or so. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, with their decline, came the rise of a globalist, cosmopolitan, etc., class of elites who feel more in common with fellow elites across the planet than the constituents they were elected to serve. I understand your point about culture, and I think there’s a place for everybody in American society, but there has to be some kind of “bedrock” or else there will be no shared culture that anybody will be able to subscribe to.
Make of that what you will. I argue that Tucker Carlson wants to reverse the clock a bit and “re-do” the last 50 years with a more nationalism-friendly, conservatism-friendly society.
Gotcha. I agree … and while I long for the clean, civil society of my youth … the “Evil” 50’s and 60’s… when I was surrounded by nobody BUT my WASP people … that all changed with the Immigration Act of 1965 (aka make America different-looking Act). We need to INCLUDE all those non-WASPs who share and embrace our love of AMERICAN culture
You sure got this one wrong.
I’m with you on a lot of points, but WOW is Jeb not that guy.
I just saw brother George on Leftwing media pushing for more compassionate importing of third world slaves for his owners. “Act of Love” Jeb was always big on that.
I just think that the people, not the politicos, already want a populist government and are being kept from it.
To me, Trump for including every background and ethnicity equally is what made it legit national populism. Legit equality. Legit
“all boats rising” stuff.
The MAGA movement was the biggest in world history, truly, in HISTORY with global ramifications which is why the overlords “fortified” the election.
I’m a passionate lover of history, and I think about it this way. Whenever I think about a major political change, where one political order was replaced by another, it has almost always been supported by elements of the ruling class. Even the French Revolution had disgruntled nobles, clergy, merchants, etc., who sided with the revolutionaries and enabled their fanaticism.
The alternative is to brush the elites completely aside, but historically-speaking, that usually only happens when the existing civilization is gasping its dying breaths. It’s like pulling out the mold out of a thoroughly rotten building—it all comes crashing down. Usually the elites can close ranks or adapt, since they’re so powerful. And if they cannot, then it’s probably because the foundation of power has been eroded to its core.
Trump was the trailblazer. But our job would be infinitely easier if some of these Decepticons recognized the writing on the wall and came to terms with the inevitability of America First. Old school Jeb! is definitely not my guy. But, for some reason, I don’t see him as irredeemable as the other Bushes, probably because he didn’t do as much damage. I wouldn’t mind a redemption arc where Jeb! begrudgingly adopts the MAGA populist platform after being coaxed into it by Ron DeSantis, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, etc. Otherwise, things will get worse, and things will eventually get ugly, for both the ruling class and the people they lord over.
Also, I hope you understand that it doesn’t have to be Jeb Bush—I’m only using him as a convenient symbol, since he’s an apt example of the GOP establishment who happens to have some kind words for Ron DeSantis. Here’s the Tweet below:
I haven’t taken Luntz serious for several years, but about Oct and Nov of 2020 I actually came to dislike him intensely – thought he was for the Democrats. Not surprised to see Tucker or anyone hold his feet to the fire. As for me — he never was an important entity in my world.
Luntz the Dunce has been blatantly obvious for years (from his first national exposure) and unwatchable. Amazed that anyone ever took this buffoon seriously, no matter his high number of Fox appearances.
Not sure what to make of Tucker, he’s long been an elite uniparty type, but he seems to have changed and become more of a radical type. I too am skeptical of Tucker, however he seems to realize the populism in Trump’s message is selling and is on board with it for the most part. I recall him saying several years ago something about how the GOP has long been seen as the party of trust fund children, but why can’t the GOP change, why can’t it be the party of the working class?
Tucker was one of the first to “get” President Trump and also support his message. This article in Politico written by Tucker about Donald Trump is from January of 2016. **LANGUAGE WARNING**
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-is-shocking-vulgar-and-right-213572
Frank Luntz I always believed his focus group conclusions. Very disturbing that even Republicans thought the way they did. So now it comes out that maybe it was not all 100% so.
Tucker tells us what we want to hear… but I don’t think Fox News is an NBA-type place where the players run the teams.
I’d say the corporate news PTBs at Fox would rein him in hard if he was bucking them or going rouge. They’re most likely just juggling optics and not looking to re-open the wound that has apparently healed since Election Night (they’re back on top in ratings).
I’m in the camp that sees him as the sympathetic voice to lure us back to watching Faux News, as much as I often like what he’s saying… it feels like manipulation to me.
Faux News is NOT on our side, they’re just RINO news. No matter what you’re hearing from a possible sympathetic voice on-camera, that crawl at the bottom of the screen tells the story.
I’m with Steve Bannon on that particular wound.
It will never never never heal until it is addressed properly. AZ is a start.
Luntz has been dead to me for many years, as he’s always been a fraud.
Tucker is paid by Faux News. He’s watched them end the careers of many people who don’t toe the Uniparty line. He knows what side his bread is buttered on. And some of his commentary has been questionable over the years, so there is always a reason to be suspicious of him.
Television is a dead medium anyway. I finally turned off Faux last November and I won’t be going back. Would suggest that to everybody.
Tucker was repulsed by Donald Trump. And he’s tolerant of the middle class in flyover country, but he certainly wouldn’t want to spend any time with them. Tucker has spent his adult life living in the 99% progressive, elite, affluent DC neighborhoods that house people like Rosenstein, Mueller, McCabe, “journalists,”, and Congress critters.
He would like nothing more than the US step away from the edge of communism so he could comfortably go back to living with and socializing with the people that hate Trump voters.
Wow!? Are we talking about the same person? Sheesh, you must really hate me … because I was born in CA
Someone can support SOME of what we do, and not All. Or say the right things about the enemy, AND not be completely on our side. Its not black & white. Tucker is calling out Luntz and I couldn’t be happier. Luntz is a complete fraud and completely bought off. He’s spent 5 years attacking Trump and now he’s back to pushing the moderate/RINO scam.
The reason Luntz is a friend of McCarthy is they’re paid off the same people. Kevin McCarthy is a meat puppet for the chamber of commerce, the rich donors, and the Koch Brothers. Just like Luntz. Tucker is calling him out. Fox News is willing to let Tucker attack the Uniparty on some issues. Tucker is still controlled by them, but they’re loosening up because of their failing audience.
Tucker was a reliable speaker at one time. His loss of viewers after the Powell offensive has him now scrambling to regain those who left. I must admit he does an excellent job of lining things up and laying it all out. That being said, I just don’t trust him anymore.
As for his monologue on Frank Luntz, it’s all about tit for tat. Something was said or done to put Carlson on Luntz’ case.
I haven’t listened to Luntz or trusted him for a long. long time.
And what do you make of Tucker’s taking down of Gov. Kristi Noem for capitulating to the corrupt NCAA and Transgenderism? Or his reaction to a bizarre interview with Matt Gaetz?
I call it TRUTH and CONSISTENCY. Both of these “solid conservatives” had their chance … and proved themselves … *ahem* … wanting.
Yeah, I agree. While he’s being the enemy of my enemy he’s my friend. But you can’t forget when you saw the mask slip. What is seen cannot be unseen.
That something is the fact that fox news lost their entire base on Nov 3rd when they showed which side they were really on. Or at least showed they were picking sides rather than being unbiased. Anyways, they are saying stuff that they know we want to hear and trying to reel that crowd/fan base back in.
I obviously like a lot of the stuff Tucker says but always in the back of my mind i know these guys are just saying what we all want to hear. Nov 3rd was all it took to open my eyes. i knew they were goin downhill halfway into the Trump admin when they were having way too many libs and never-trumpers on the show.
Ive long said Tucker is Fox’s follow up to Glenn Beck. They need that air of legitimacy to keep the canary in the coal mine seeming real.
Fox looks at it’s programming for a big picture 10,000 foot level. It needs a Tucker wedged into it’s performances to seem legit to it’s audiences. One hour of programming to pull the audience numbers into it’s other 23 hours of right based Republican cheering.
This works well, after Fox’s November 2020 viewership losses it has managed to fully recover it numbers and rankings by March 2021.
Suckering the suckers and making it’s detractors hypocrites in their own game!
For the record, I swore off of fox news 15+ years ago, dumped the Repubs and IDC where their videos are published, on a matter of principal I don’t watch them… Conservatives need to work on their resolve!
Fox gave Tucker the go ahead to attack Luntz, a person they have been featuring for years. Personally, I think it makes Fox look like a bunch of dopes… they didn’t know Frank Putz’s background? Of course they did…
I’m wondering if there could be other targets: the Republican Party, in particular Kevin McCarthy. Isn’t Kevin in somewhat of a battle with Lizzie “Borden” Cheney… the Globalist? Interesting.
Regarding Tucker…my caution flag went up when he started on Sydney P.. demanding she come on his show and layout evidence..then after Jan 6.. he actually said Trump’s speech HAD something to do with it and was partially at fault…no longer any talk about Trump claiming voter fraud, right or wrong… with all new on that topic recently ( Arizona) .. crickets… FOX gives only some much freedom..?
>then after Jan 6.. he actually said Trump’s speech HAD something to do with it and was partially at fault
Do you have a link to a news report about Tucker saying that? Because I can’t find one.
Funny, for many years I didn’t pay much attn. to Luntz and his focus groups.
Until now, I didn’t know he was close to Kevin Mc Carthy. Nor did I know Repub. leaders sought Luntz’s opinions as to what I see as important for the country. Didn’t know his business dealings with gugel and Beez.
For me, the if this is true re Luntz, the message is more important than messenger (Tucker.)
Tucker is the only media person bringing up the unjust imprisonment of Trump supporters simply walking through the capital on January 6 and being held without bail. For that, I’ve started to listen to his program again. Only his program on Fox though.
Bout time someone said what Tucker is saying….Luntz has been a democrat in my mind since I first saw him.
No offense to any readers but I find it interesting the ire and shade being thrown Tickers way. With that said I’ve noticed something over the years that really is beginning to get under my skin.
Cancel culture is very real and we have witnessed time and time again people standing up to the current political paradigm only to be crushed beneath the weight and power of the Democratic Party.
And time and time again we’ve witnessed nobody do a thing about it and when they finally bend the knee they are cast out by the very people they where fighting for.
Personally I’m sick of it. Say what you will about Tucker Carlson but at least I’ve watched him fight and do so a hell of a lot more then most.
The way I see it, our allies are few can we really afford to lose any more? It’s gotten to the point the Conservatives weakness is just too much to bear.
Time to start living up to all those fancy slogans conservatives love to toss around, like give me Liberty or give me death. When you see a fellow conservatives in the ring have his back and who knows that person just might be around in the future to have yours.
Just a thought from a casual observer…
Wow, this video is good though. I love the points in comments that this is an attack on the advertisers pressuring him. ALSO that affects FOX corporate so I can see why they’d be ok with this overall. It does give us a little window into how we get the UniParty and UniMedia, since there are go betweens shuttling cash and propaganda brain washing.
ALSO WE NEED TO KNOW IF LUNTZ IS WORKING WITH DEMS DIRECTLY SINCE THEY’VE BEEN STAYING “ON MESSAGE” AND “UNIFIED” AND “REPEATING THE SAME NONSENSE” and every other trick Luntz used for Bush co. that the Dems envied, more on this below. They are literally using his same annoying strategy that never fooled real people, by the way.
Like it sounds like “mostly peaceful protests” was HIM. If you know Luntz doeesn’t the coordination of that nonsense sound like him? Which I did literally hear Dems parrot dutifully.
But also here’s a key thing buried in there, FOX’s betrayal all along.
NOTICE Luntz says “Republicans support a path to citizenship for those who, through no fault of their own” blah blah steal your country.
EVERY NIGHT for many, many weeks, Sean Hannity had Marco Rubio on using that EXACT language for making illegal kids into a new kind of anchor baby up to age 30, the “Dreamers.”
Obviously Luntz made up this name, this scam, this language, and it was as we all knew all along a way to get the foot in the door with this phony subgroup and then force the door the rest of the way open to essentially endless amnesty, open border, cheap slave labor for the overlords.
Obama stole the Dreamer scam from US, from Rubio on FOX on Hannity.
I love Tucker exposing Luntz as a fraud, BUT it’s FOX noise that made Luntz and his focus groups famous.
Tucker explains a Luntz focus group like we’ve never heard of that, when anyone who has ever watched FOX used to see him regularly doing those on air.
Also, does anyone remember when Luntz was running around to Leftwing media talking about his enormous depression after one of the elections and his decision to regroup and make some changes?
It was in articles with titles specifically about how Luntz was demoralized, dejected, depressed and open to either a break or a new direction.
Is what he’s doing now a change, or what he really was all along when he was the Bush neocon FOX darling?
Anyway, interesting to see FOX or Tucker or someone talking about it.
I had NO IDEA Luntz was back on the scene pulling strings.
And I LOVE that he just looks straight at the camera and says you don’t recognize your own party anymore, and essentially they are turning to the monster who will make sure you never do.
So the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I’m with Tucker on this for sure.
I don’t believe Tucker is a full fledged card carrying member of the Decepticon team. I was glad to see him hand Frank Luntz his ass. I can’t stand Luntz he’s a sanctimonious neocon, if he says it you know it’s not accurate. I’m shocked too, as Fox has had him on the channel for many many years. He should take fat ass Stirewalt with him when he goes. They’d fare better on CNN.
T. Carlson had worked happily for CNN before he switched to Faux. He is extremely cynical, and it works well for gullible viewers. Look at his face. He is not a good actor. Lou Dobbs was a single host there I enjoyed watching.
Forget about old Fox and Andrew’s ‘Breitbart’. They are gone forever without a wind but with some $$$$$.
Try to post your opinion in a blog section there and get clobbered immediately.
As to Frank Luntz, he is a well paid hack, a crook with pseudo-statistics kind of “what-do-you-want-me-to-show”.
It is all a theater for plebs. Give us more, Faux !
Carlson said he’s not attacking Frank Luntz, however, Carlson clearly and methodically is ‘outing’ Luntz. Why now you ask…I’ll guess this: Fox News is preempting some expected, soon to follow fallout, from something they’re aware has already quietly occurred or is unstoppable. People of influence can’t make mistakes. Wait for it. Luntz is the deer in Fox’s headlights.
In all three links above at Here, Here and Here, Sundance mentions Frank Luntz two times and links to Breitbart the third time when Breitbart mentions Frank Luntz.
The question raised was….”…. the expose’ is absolutely correct; but I cannot stop wondering why now? …And why Tucker Carlson? “. ie; what’s the connection between Carlson uncovering Luntz’s allegiances to the Left and Fox’s Left Murdoch family approving of or instructing Carlson?
In the comments below mine no one mentions Frank Luntz.
My own question is, just why is a TV news station, owned by a family entrenched in the Left watched by Conservatives as a Republican point of view? This is double mindedness.
My response to ‘my own question’ is : the Murdoch family is by omission controlling, editing, censoring and shaping what Conservatives repeat, retain and share. Accomplished by convincing millions of viewers Fox News is a synonym for Conservatism while not allowing their viewers to hear the strongest dedicated Conservative voices.
Unlike the news YOU chose on the internet, the very rich Australian Murdoch family does NOT represent Conservative American voters.
If you watch Fox news ask yourself what are they NOT reporting? Who are they NOT inviting on? Why didn’t Fox promote and invite the solid Doug Collins (R-Georgia)? Collins has a brilliant background of service, delivers clearly and was/is Trump endorsed. Start there. Read up on Collins’s bio of service, convictions and supporters and you may notice an invisible pattern of Conservative Christian’s running for Congressional seats are omitted, MIA, by choice by Fox News.
You know, I prefer the Tucker show when Mark Steyn hosts it.
He is more informed on the guests and their subjects and the show seems less itty bitty.
If Fox News employee Tucker Carlson is the real dealer, you’d better check your deck of cards.
This is funny. The same day, Newt Gingrich interviewed Luntz and completely lavished praise on him.
It is coming out that Frank Luntz wrote talking points for Sackler family and Purdue Pharma- the largest opioid dealers in the country.
It is a trust issue and I no longer trust Tucker Carlson. The election theft proved his loyalties. And they are not to conservatives or the rule of law.
Tucker is FOX’s #1 show. Tucker can get away with more dissent than others at FOX. I don’t watch Hannity or anyone else on FOX. Hannity is legit controlled opposition. He’s had Lindsey Graham on his show so much but never challenges Graham for not actually fighting against the Russiagate bs. That should tell you everything you need to know about Hannity. Tucker is the only show on FOX I watch. No other political show is even worth watching. While everyone on FOX was kissing Tim Scott’s butt for being ‘attacked’ by the WaPo fact check article, Tucker actually went after Tim Scott for adopting the left’s language on police reform. Tucker’s not always right but no one else in his position is even close to being tolerable. Trump was not always right. Trump trusted too many backstabbers who helped sabotage a lot of his 1st term. Tucker is exposing fake MAGA’s like Kevin McCarthy and Tim Scott so that we don’t have a repeat of backstabbing Rino’s sabotaging America First policies.
A few things….
Tucker is not given show notes or talk on what to cover, what to correct what to feature or not. His show topics are all his with no permissions or instructions from Fox or anyone else.
I’ve watched and read Tucker for a lot of years and he’s always called balls and strikes no matter a political side.
He lived in DC for many years before recently moving to Florida and kept the personal separate from the politics,
which is why with that and being a genuinely nice respectable guy, is liked by those on both sides.
Luntz has been off and on Fox for a long time yet never seen where he was protected. And if how Tucker exposed Luntz is protection, that’s horrible protection.
Tucker not only exposed Luntz for the hack he is, he put McCarthy on the block pant-less to be held accountable by Republican congress and voters for ethics on more than one front.
Tucker could have left McCarthy out of it yet he did the voters a service by also exposing one of their biggest weaknesses…. messaging.
For those I’ve read with a Puritan all or nothing for Tucker as well as Fox, whom in your life is perfect? If a good friend or family member does something purposely or by accident,
do you toss them to the wind forever or, do you try and correct that issue, move on and still enjoy the positive and knowledge they bring to your life? The smart ones, and I bet most here try and reconcile.
Tucker was the Most Watched cable host in all of May in both total viewers and the valued demographic. He’s been #1 in his slot for 48 consecutive months.
Tucker is growing in popularity and in Feb signed a multi-year deal with Fox for a reported $10 million a year. He’s got two Fox Nation shows to go further in-depth on important issues most here would support and love.
Tucker is, in my opinion, the most trustworthy, relevant, investigative journalistic show on cable and most anywhere. You can get more in one night from him than most will give in a week.
I’ll continue to follow Tucker and call balls and strikes on him as a consumer yet, I find far more hits than strikeouts and I’m better informed because of him.
Thanks Tucker and keep up the good work ‘no matter’ the side.
