… and it it very much worth watching. Dave Rubin interviews Fox News #1 television personality Tucker Carlson for the first time since Carlson moved his family out of the DC beltway in order to protect his family from the insanity that was building around them. Carlson now works from his home studio in up-state Maine, the location of this video interview.
What Carlson outlines in the last minute of this interview is very relatable to me. After watching this interview, I actually have a new perspective on Tucker Carlson. WATCH:
Speaking of things Tucker, whatever happened to Richard good stain? I don’t think he’s been on the show since he corrected Tucker and played the race card on him about how to pronounce Kamala.
I started watching Tucker this year and I love his show. I learn a lot from watching him. I subscribed to Fox Nation to see his interviews on there and he has some really interesting and entertaining people on those shows s as well. I learn a lot. Do I always agree no; but more times then not I do because he has common sense so he makes sense. I didn’t have a way to watch Fox until this year, I don’t have cable, I haven’t had it for years. But with the internet you can find anything you just have to dig.
Nice interview. I love when people choose to live their lives on their terms.
The one thing that I’m always taken back by is the laziness of jumping on the Trump’s “personal flaws”narrative.
I can’t think of a soul that narrative couldn’t be used on. It’s that constant , phony, lazy level of attack that’s been weaponized on President Trump. Just in recent presidents, they displayed the lowest of tactics and character, yet are protected: Clinton corruption and perversions, Bush’s corruption and Uni-fraud, Obama’s Corruption, hate of country, and very questionable associations, and Biden’s corruption, incompetence, creepy and sick family, and his nastiness. If you want to talk about personal flaws, have a stab at some of those.
President Trump is genuinely is nice person- not without flaws, as no one is—but a kind person, excellent family, successful, and loves this country. Challenge or threaten those things and he will fight back— as anyone should.
Bingo, it’s complete unadulterated one-sided garbage. DJT is one of the most moral and courageous people to ever inhabit DC.
I remember Obama saying in a political ad in 2020, that anyone thinking that Trump would grow in the job of President was wrong because, said Obama: “He can’t”. I remember thinking that it was clear from this attack they knew that that was precisely what had been the most impressive thing of all about Trump. He had grown impressively in the office from a tough businessman to a real leader of his people – those being not just Americans but free people everywhere.
Amen Sunny!! Well said.
Tucker still tries to maintain the idea that he’s not overly partisan because his acquaintances are mostly lefties, as he mentioned in the video. Can’t have them thinking I actually like Trump. Everyone has flaws and all our Presidents definitely have had flaws, but only Donald Trump’s flaws are used as a preface to avoid being canceled.
I agree with your statement and Tucker is still disingenuous because it denigrates one aspect of his presidency: President Trump is the only President that has ever kept his promises. My definition of a great man is that they are worth more alive than dead and once they are gone, and they cannot be replaced by anybody once they are gone. President Trump is a great man. There is of course more to this in terms of value, but keep this short.
I agree. Some people — a few– really are irreplaceable and President Trump is one of those few.
As well as Rush!
I sure do miss him. I listened to him in 1988 driving around in LA on KFI. Too bad and sad.
Spot on!
I don’t dislike Tucker, but I think he came across as somewhat arogant in this interview.
He also at times has shown he’s not a Trump fan but immediately corrects himself. He, like most media, plays us for ratings and seem not to care if things get fixed or not. He’s got his, you know.
You seem paranoid.
Its not about ratings with Tucker. He goes as far as he is permitted to go and remain on the air.
It’s not nothing that the US Govt is so severely corrupt now that DOJ, FBI, IRS would do whatever it took to totally destroy Tucker and his family… and they would succeed easily and not be held accountable even for manufacturing BS evidence against him. That reality gives many… pause.
I agree he goes as far as he thinks he can get away with. In the long form interview with Lara Logan they both were dancing around calling out who thought was behind the decisions in Afghanistan. It was obvious that they both knew and neither of them would go there. They were avoiding it so as not to be labeled conspiracy theorist and run off the air. They just left it a question for you to research. It’s a fine line Tucker Carlson has a walk.
He is on a for-profit television network. If Carlson is not about ratings I assure you his producers are.
Self assurance can be mistaken for arrogance.
I have a television but I fired Fox.
Sounds like I didn’t miss much.
Tucker has the luxury of being able to “live” his life the way he wants. He is well heeled and does not have the same constraints that 99% of us have. So, it is not like he just gave up everything to move to the deep woods of Maine.
I’ve caught the TC comment about President Trump more than once. Who are these people that Tucker trusts so much? A waitress from somewhere who gives him ideas for his stories? Oh gee, he’s just so “down home” isn’t he? Who is running Tucker Carlson’s show? The people behind the scenes? Sorry I just don’t trust him . I can not trust him.
We all have personal flaws, except the media.
MAGA
Agreed! He did more for everyday average Americans than any president in my lifetime and I am 61.
You really are a sunny flower! very well said. this goes into my quote file.
I always do find it odd that people who make their living off of being on TV don’t have TV’s. Good for them their audience doesn’t do the same. ?
It’s not just Tucker. Many Silicon Valley executives don’t allow the things they invented inside their own households. In fact, they will not even allow their own children to own a computer, smartphone or a tablet, and have them enrolled at schools where things are done the old-fashion way: pen, paper, notebook and copy machine.
I’d love to call them “hypocrites”, but I guess they have a point…
The “copy machine” you mentioned should really be a mimeograph machine — the one that used that fragrant ink.
It was called ditto paper and machine at our school district.
Same here. Little Student, can you go to the office and ask for 25 dittos of this, please? And, you’d waddle your little 2nd-grade butt down to the office, holding the folder with the fragile copy sheet. And, when you returned, it’s your fault 2/3rds of the dittos have a streak where you can’t see portions of the information.
Hmmm. Fragrant ink! 🙂
Makes you wonder how a guy who’s never owned a TV and grew up without one decided to have a career being on TV…
as he said, Daddy dearest was a CIA spy who worked in TV. Part of his payoff was getting his son into the business and well looked after.
Successful long term drug dealers don’t use the drugs they sell.
I agree, it was a very interesting interview. I grew up with television, but it just got really weird in the mid 1990’s and so we turned it off and returned the box. Best thing we ever did, haven’t seen broadcast TV in 30 years. I am a news junky – but I read the news, I NEVER watch the news. I think the last straw was watching an evening news reader (I certainly wouldn’t call her a journalist) ask her co-news reader “What should we think about this?” (It’s been so long, I no longer remember what the ‘this’ was, but that was it; we turned it off and didn’t look back).
I have a lot of respect for Tucker. He’s obviously intelligent and I appreciate his raising issues that others just don’t talk about.
“I have a lot of respect for Tucker. He’s obviously intelligent and I appreciate his raising issues that others just don’t talk about.”
Agreed, but I’m of the opinion that Tucker has seen , or is aware of all that our gracious host has knowledge of and still likes to live on the fence out of convenience.
Newsflash; You can’t have your bread and eat it too.
Of course he is aware. He’s beat a path to outer-whitelandia to protect himself and his family. We all live within constraints and everyone can throw sand in the gears of the machine coming to grind us into submission. Personally, I don’t understand why military strikes aren’t used against the world economic forum members and the davos bastards to cowl them into submission, but sadly, they too are sitting on the fence, I guess. Fence sitting out of convenience may actually be recognizing the constraints you live within and pushing the boundaries where you can.
Well said, Patiently. The shorter version? Keep your powder dry. Choose your death hill carefully.
Thanks – the thing to do now is concentrate heavily on food security, skill development, and general preparedness, with a watchful eye on what the rank and file military personnel are doing. The military (active and veteran), the sheriffs, and deputies are going to be the true resistance leaders when it comes to down to it. Get to know your local folks now and let them know that you have their backs.
Right.
I suppose, in one way or another, most all of us are sitting on the fence, awaiting patiently…… including me.
“recognizing the constraints you live within and pushing the boundaries where you can.”
Not only did the NSA conduct surveillance of Tucker Carlson’s electronic communication, but the NSA also leaked Carlson’s emails to allied intelligence media (Axios, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post) who operate as PR firms on behalf of the Intelligence Branch.
And, yet, we know about it. It never ceases to amaze me how much we have learned about our government in the last few years. I mean, many of us here, I suspect, have gone from trust the government to no f’ing way I’m going to trust this government. Do they realize how little credibility they have? The Nazi Fauci is touting the benefits from a third ‘vaccine’ and possible daily pills to stay alive – with a straight face! People are shouting ‘F Biden’ randomly around the country. The end is coming – be prepared to 1) survive it, 2) help others to survive it.
Credibility is only for those who have no raw power.
Biggest event of our lifetime: Election was stolen.
Don’t remember Tucker “looking at things from above, seeing the outline” of what was done w mail-in ballots.
Sorry, I’m not buying his act.
Tucker can be rated as mostly impressive in how he expresses himself and his philosophical views but gosh he has a gaping blind spot to the OBVIOUS 2020 election fraud. Either he’s being purposefully ignorant because he’s being told to leave that subject alone or he’s got willful blindness that is only curable by $$ in each eye. He’s a smart cookie so you’ve gotta assume he sees/ knows it but would rather hunker down safely in his Maine fortress.
Seeing that he basically doesn’t follow the tv or online news, he’s willfully ignorant which in itself is scary to know that someone of his stature in media is that out of touch with what’s going on in the world. He didn’t even mention reading newspapers so I think he relies on what those around him bring up, and if I had to guess, Tucker isn’t surrounded by the MAGA crowd so he really doesn’t know about the ballot issues, unsecure machines, cheating in the GA recount, and other election issues.
He’s doing himself a disservice by not being knowledgeable about the very stories he covers. I understand avoiding TV news and social media but going full off the grid other than a cellphone is nuts. He’ll never know about CTH unless a friend tell him.
I’ll bet he lurks on the Treehouse.
He probably doesn’t have a ladder. He doesn’t believe in them.
He claims he isn’t online!
.
“He’s doing himself a disservice by not being knowledgeable about the very stories he covers.”
.
Why would you ever think the media makes you more knowledgeable? They are owned by 6 (six) corporations, all operating in lockstep right now. Everything you touch in media is controlled, even more so now with tech oligarchs censoring even that limited outlook.
Why would you EVER think you are knowledgeable based upon modern media? What a strange notion that is.
There is alternative media to counter the MSM. In fact, Tucker has many of those using alternate media on his show. However, many are liberal leaners – Glenn Greenwald, Alex Berenson, others – but they do speak truth to power on certain topics only.
As an aside, I loved Tucker’s recent takedown of Lindsey Graham as a study of the swamp lies. It was something a lot of still unawake republicans and independents needed to see – even the other pundits on Fox.
Marc, Tucker knows.
Yes, and I found myself wondering – where DO you get the news? I don’t watch MSM, sitcoms, or much of anything on TV except for conservative news channels. Reading online 90% of my news – Conservative Treehouse, American Thinker, and a few others – plus always reading Comments. I put great stock in what intelligent “ordinary” citizens think about current events. Our local newspaper (the only paper in a city of over one million) is totally liberal in all things. Our 3 main local TV channels (all part of ABC, NBC, CBS) are even achingly liberal on everything from the weather (global warming), to a county fair (huge virus risk), to the 50th shooting of the year in our ghetto (flagrant racism). Where do we turn for news? Our computers is my answer. I’d like to know another source if there is one. All of my family and friends who are conservative share current news on a daily basis and all get their news online. Tucker just relies on other people to present their take on the news to him?
Tucker Carlson is asking some very serious questions about Afghanistan while contrast against a very incurious U.S. media.
Not really disagreeing with you, but I turned all TV news off four years ago and don’t really hang on socialist media and I have never been better informed.
Have a wonderful day, TREEPERS!!
I’d hunker down too, but it sure hasn’t stopped him from doing his job. His gaping blind spot protects him from being cancelled, if indeed he knows as much as we all do. Do we really want him cancelled because he doesn’t report on this? The more Americans who are informed about what he does talk about the better it will be when the time comes to overturn the fraudulent election. That’s when we’ll see what side he’s really on. In the mean time he’s doing a much needed service.
I agree with you, Carol.
Agreed.
He did do this show…wish he did more.
https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/tucker-investigates-fulton-county-election-incident
He steer clears of the real nuts and bolts of the election because it’s a safe place.
I do believe the Biden Regime threatened him when he interviewed the Biden business partner. His mailed materials were stolen by the FBI and then returned. The following Monday he announced he once lived in the same building as Hunter and the Biden Business partner disappeared— just like the Laptop from Hell.
Yes, the Deep State got to Tucker. They can spy on everybody, even the President, so they certainly spied on Tucker. And nobody cared when it came out, which was probably when he started to figure out the outlines of the problem.
For the well informed that is probably the case but we need as many Americans as possible to be informed about all the other things our government and politicians are doing and Tucker does that. No one on TV is going to tackle the elephant in the room aka the fraudulent election until it becomes apparent to everyone. What he’s doing is preparing the masses for what’s going to happen to those politicians who have betrayed us. I’m certainly not taking an all or nothing approach to what Truckers doing.
Well.. no one will have the courage to tackle that elephant… unless or until the AZ Audit results are revealed.
“Timing is everything” so I pray there is a strategic method to their silence.
so I pray there is a strategic method to their silence
One would hope. But all the strategic silences of the last five years turned out to be just silences.
OR….they were silenced!
Sorry, I don’t think so. “All of the other things” being done now are possible because President Trump was cheated out of his re-election. Let’s concentrate on the election fraud or we are finished as a republic.
I will find hope easier to come by after the first decertification/overturning.
Disagree.
… as 47Yinzer said: “choose your death hill carefully.”
Tucker Carlson Outlines Fulton County, Georgia, Ballot Fraud
July 15, 2021 | Sundance | 84 Comments
Tucker Carlson ran a segment on the identified ballot fraud in Fulton County, Georgia. As noted by Carlson, the Atlanta Journal Constitution also verified the ballot review results from the lawsuit of Garland Favorito and VoterGA.
But Tucker has a waitress friend (and her husband!) who gives him tips for stories every month!! Well. Ya’all, I just get goose bumps all over when I hear that.
How is this interview possible if there’s no computer, no iphone, eh? He doesn’t even have a TV, but he uses every kind of technical device to be able to do his show. WUT? Something called cognitive dissonance just reared its ugly head.
Tucker Carlson ran a segment on the identified ballot fraud in Fulton County, Georgia.
Don’t you mean “Biggest event of our lifetime: Election was stolen WHILE WE WATCHED”? Someone told me that every Presidential election after Reagan was rigged and that the main thing we bring from Trump’s Presidency is that he made us AWARE…made us SEE IT!
yes, you’re right.
Some interesting points tuckee brought up, but he left out some key info on why President Trump, not didnt, but couldnt do anything. DJT could have done so many great things, but he was double hamstrung by the marxist dems and stabbed in the back by the repubs. Too bad tuckee did include that in his dialogue. Must be the FOX in his DNA.
The one thing he did mention right was that the DC uniparty was scared to death of him. Thats why people elected him, and we should never forget that.
Tucker
Tuckee seems right.
I come here to get the news. Thanks, Sundance
Wonder why his kid would rather be at a boarding school? Not that I care, one way or another, just noted that his kid is attending one.
I would assume nothing but positive reasons, such as:
1. A rigorous, disciplined … yes, “elite” education
2. Safety – after Tucker’s family and home was threatened … it seems prudent
I believe Tucker and Buckley Carlson’s Dad instilled in them the necessity to read books to broaden their knowledge. It is my understanding Mr. Carlson constantly asked his sons what books they were reading and kind of quizzed them on what they learned. I believe Tucker and his wife instilled the same disciplines on their children. I applaud them.
Agreed.
Many reasons for Tuckers’ kids going boarding school:
Virtue signaling his affluence . Even though he left they beltway , they all love to show they can afford gobs of tuition for private sleep-away schools.
Keep him/her out of harms way.
Lazy parenting— ship ‘em out so he doesn’t have to be confronted with their teenage angst.
Problem kid who can’t deal with his/her dad’s politics.
Tucker went to boarding school.
Don’t overthink this.
Wrong… obviously and a rather petty, uninsightful thing to say, IMO.
We have a small all-boys boarding school in our city. Many of my friends (not wealthy) sacrificed to send their sons there because of the small school size, the school’s premium education, the Christian environment, and close supervision of their sons. The boys came home most weekends and had a variety of friends in all the other schools in our large city. We sent our 3 children to private schools also – deciding money spent on tuition there was well worth it, although not easy for us. If you’re a high profile individual like Tucker, boarding school is a wonderful option. The average kid in high school or college who dares to stand up for conservative values, pro-life, pro-America, etc., may be bullied, mocked, and even injured by the protected liberals around him. What parent wants that risk if they can avoid it?
Tucker said he likes it quiet. Kids are noisy, insistent and they like all those tech devices. Hounding their Dad can get very noisy! Katy bar the door! The horse is in the barn !
What a nasty comment.
Because Tucker comes from relatively “old money” family ties. And New England has many, many boarding schools, including one in my husband’s grandparents’ hometown – Wallingford, CT.
(Oh! And this is a bit weird, but…. I just looked at his picture. He looks like my husband. A lot. This is scary…. Is he related?)
To maintain their first class networking. It’s not what you can do but who you know.
Hope they don’t get a commie education, but they will.
boarding school is about contacts not education.
BS. Its about both.
You can get the same education from any local library and a list of classic texts for nothing.
You don’t pay $60,000/year to get access to books printed a hundred years ago.
You do it because the offspring of parents that can afford 60k a year are going to be the connections/marriages you want in later life.
Its just the same as the English boarding school system.
Very true – it’s about the connections you think you are buying for your children.
You are right. The Clinton’s were able to catapult thier their unattractive (both socially & aesthetically) daughter into the upper class by sending her to one of these elite schools. The Clinton’s were not well-received in DC inner circle when the moved into the White House. I read an article many years ago about poor Hillary’s angst at her inability to weasel into the social maven’s good graces. Perhaps a few decades and much more greasing of the machine has allowed her the ability to do more than the average middle class girl–and by greasing, I mean Epsteining…
Chelsea sits in a fine position because her ugly, unpopular mother has compromised enough people to make it happen. And, I imagine she’s read all the same books, but never wuite figured out what any of the authors were trying to get across…
Yes… both… and training kids to stand on their own 2 feet without “helicopter parents” around to do it for them.
I have been watching Tucker Carlson ever since he used to wear a bow tie when he was on TV. I have always liked to listen to what he has to say. Like me, he fancies himself to be an inquisitive intellectual until he is face to face with real intellectual people. Like me, he realizes that he is probably a very inquisitive academic on his best days, and he is truly humbled by ideas and points of view that he had not previously thought much about.
I feel that, other than his prep school upbringing, I have a lot in common with him. He obviously does not share my fixation on those inalienable rights in our founding documents, but he appears to believe in his freedom as an American, and he has a unique personality among the teleprompter readers who are his piers.
Thanks for posting this Sundance.
Thank you Sundance for posting the interview.
I am a Tucker fan. I watched Tucker off and on and liked his show, but he really hooked me during the George Floyd riots (I’ll never call them protests).
The night he got me hooked was the evening he showed the black guy sabotaging the white girl coming out of her apartment for a run. The guy said she should get down on her knees and apologize for her white privilege…and she did.
Tucker seemed genuinely outraged by this as everybody should have been.
I realized that he and PDJT have something in common, even though Tucker may not even realize it. They both “call out” the elite politicians, corrupt government players. It’s what I love about President Trump and what I love about Tucker.
Neither one care about what the elites and Washington DC players think about them.
Well said.
And he ridicules them…Which I love.
If I’m not mistaken, TC has always claimed to be a libertarian. This little piece of information speaks volumes and explains his political views. I’d rather one my apolitical friends watch an episode of trucker than to be fed the poison from joy or any other left leaning liars on cnn. Just saying.
Too bad the left has isolated and labelled Tucker as the worst thing on the planet for the moment. The liberals I come in conatact with have nothing but vitriol towards him because CNN and MSNBC said he’s Hitler2.0.
I had one person assume I agreed with her that he was horrible awhile back. I suspected she had never watched his show but was just parroting someone else. IMO, most of the haters haven’t watched a single episode, couldn’t say which of his opinions they disagree with and, if they read a transcript of his show and were told it was a leftist speaking, they would think he was brilliant. Hating him is knee jerk just like it was for Trump.
Most of what TC does is to … question, rationally and logically, the prevailing politically correct narrative that very often is illogical and stupid. Tucker calls them out on it… which is why he is such a threat to them.
I used to watch Tucker almost every night but now see him as controlled opposition. He seems to me to be basing his show on the investigative technical work done by his crew and other known and unknown people he regularly texts 0r talks with. I just don’t put him in my inner circle of trust anymore, if I ever truly did. To each his own. If he had been as forthright as President Trump he would no longer be at Fox.
And thats the question to ask, innocently, about how much his critics have watched, listened (as in Rush), etc. You’ll get a big blank look.
Then you ask, “Do you really think it’s wise to form an opinion on something with which you have no experience”?
Blank stare. Humiliating.
Carlson is the highest profile, most viewed, most literate , most effective media ally the non Statist-left have in the US and because he doesn’t applaud PDJTs every action and non-action he’s a traitor to the cause.
I have a pet fruit fly with more functioning intellectual awareness than some of the Carlson hating commenters hereabouts.
If you want a Labrador watch Hannity….compare the difference in smarts and persuasive argument with Carlson. Carlson isn’t a follower he’s a commentator who is substantially on our side.
Well said!
I don’t watch any news period. I do read Sundance and a few others. CNN sucks and so doe’s FOX news. Two biggest stories of the century are the election heist and the man made biological weapon released by China and financed by a consortium of countries including the USA. Crickets from the corporate owned media monopoly.
Concurring to Marc’s 2:06 reply to Sonoftrump.
I’ve never been enamored of Collective Orthodoxy outside Christianity.
“THIS you MUST believe!”
always scents to me of the kind of Gruppenthink the Enemies of Liberty practice.
It smacks too deeply of The Dictatorship of The Cool Kid Mafia “In-Groupism” /Herdism/Hive Mind I, as a Conservative Individualist, reject in every other sphere.
Merely changing WHICH Cool Kids get to dictate doesn’t appear, to me, to rehabilitate the Collectivist Flaw. Individualism is the Philosophical Foundation of Conservatism and MAGAism.
“Couple” other things.
To me a Cogent Argument stands or falls on its own.
Even if the arguer has been wrong on most everything else. Even a broken clock…
The flip side of that is the demand that the arguer in question be RIGHT about Everything the inquisitor deems Dogmatical.
The anguished wail “WHY DON’T YOU CARE AS MUCH AS I DO ABOUT XYZ?!” permeates the collective “room temperature” demanding to be “read”, to borrow a Japanese metaphor.
I can’t help but observe THAT is NOT Leadership!
Demanding a leader wet his finger to determine where the wind of the breath of the crowd is blowing is not something people SHOULD respect in a Leader. And yet we find it.
Note how some critical orthodox inquisitors demand it both ways, if the
arguer fails to evidence of caring as deeply about the critic’s issues, the accused is “Controlled Opposition”
rather evidencing independent thinking.
“Going ones own way” is acceptable only if that way is the way the group is going.
I’m simultaneously flashing on Mao’s Little Red Book and Tom Wolfe’s “fiction absolutes” and wondering how these orthodoxy arbiters think True Leaders can arise?
A True Leader and Independent Thinker doesn’t always agree with you!
Sometimes he pisses you off!
John Boyd has been spoken highly of here.
I agree, but note this:
“According to his biographer, Robert Coram,
(also praised here) Boyd was also known at different points of his career as “The Mad Major” for the intensity of his passions, as “Genghis John” for his confrontational style of interpersonal discussion.”
Seems to me some of the things some folks here are dissing Tucker for are somewhat similar.
See the Sidney Powell gripe.
BTW, I, personally, will find a lot less to gripe about and more to hope in when I get actual Decertifications/Overturnings, Prosecutions, Convictions, Incarcerations.
So far this whole thing has reminded me of two things.
The Whole Muller/Barr/Durham EFFN YEARS NUTHINGSANDWHICH!
Soon soon soon justwaitwaitwaitstillwating.
EFFN LAWYERS who charge more by hour than anyone move as fast as glaciers and tell us soon!
It should tell us something that justice in this Lawyer’s paradise is measured in YEARS!
We’re well down the road to the Dickensian England MULTI-GENERATIONAL Lawsuits. SICK! And we TOLERATE it!
The second reminding is of the Movie Character on “the meter” telling the Editor/DA/Boss… “yeah Chief, any moment now, send money!”
Second “couple” thing.
Who your enemies are tells me something about you.
To me, Tucker “pisses off all the right people.”
Lastly, there’s a “room vibe”
I encounter often that reminds me of something CS Lewis related about his experience with Critics and their analysis of Lewis’ “sources”. Here I apply it to the confident assigning of others’ motivations, always a more Chancy enterprise than one thinks.
Lewis relates two book reviews in which the reviewers confidently opined “obviously Lewis was influenced by Author B and Author X for ideas A and Z.”
“I’d never, heard of B and X and, to my knowledge had never read them,” Lewis wrote.
Assigning motives is a chancy thing.
I prefer to let a cogent argument stand or fall on its own individual merits.
Agreed.
Broadcast news is all fake news. Watch it at your peril. I watch broadcast news for academic purposes, when our host puts up clips on this site, and often not even then. That is all.
I like the Tucker clip here. Thanks to our host for this.
Interesting… as a quant-model consultant, we’re most certainly tech-savvy, but for decades now I’ve never watched TV nor will I accommodate Big Tech’s spy-on-every-keystroke cellphone BS. If this be treason, make the most of it.
A touch elitist for my taste. A guy looking down his nose at owning a television (sniffs that he grew up reading instead) but makes his living off his television show. Plus I did not appreciate his subtle Trump bashing.
And he wore a bow tie on tv in his earlier incarnations before being knighted at Bill Orally’s successor , a gig too good to mess up ….
I’ll allow Tucker to make his own opinions while sitting in his own home.
I will also applaud him for not owning a television–as owning a television and working in television isn’t relevant to making an objective and intelligent opinion.
I’ll also allow this because my father didn’t allow a television in our home for most of my childhood years, for much the same reasons & other moral reasons. I find that my siblings and I are quite literate, although we were low-middle income, maybe poverty-level…it wasn’t important.
The amount of money my father earned was not an indicator or predictor of the success or amount of money that we, his children, would be able to earn when we became adults.
My father was a pastor, so we were well-educated in a small, rural Christian school.
The teachers at our school were not paid well. But, they taught well. I believe that my education was/is superior to 90% of those who were educated in the public school system in the same years–because we were forced to focus ON EDUCATION! The kids in our school could all read very well because the “poor” teachers required it.
We also were able to participate in small school sports, which allowed even the less athletic children to be on the team & make practice, even if everybody wasn’t a starter. This was a great opportunity for socializing and team-building. Those who were not the most athletic were still part of team, and included in the wins and losses. We were allowed to fail and the experience the consequences of failure, which we LEARNED from. Our school practiced corporal punishment when a student had met a serious enough threshold of misbehavior. It wasn’t considered a “major trauma, ” as any punishment today is viewed as “abuse.”
Tucker may seem insulated. That’s alright with me. Honestly, I believe Sundance is exactly right about this as the explanation for Tucker’s viewpoint.
Personally, I don’t watch Tucker unless his show is posted in a link sent to me by a friend or on this site. But, he has his opinion and his is fresher than most.
I do believe the way he is educating his children is probably superior to sending them to a school where an unaccountable union-backed public school teacher would probably abuse them, & never adequately teach them.
Dave Rubin is one of the best interviewers around. His news podcasts are fast moving and informative. The Tucker Carlson interview is a good example. Dave Rubin lets his guest speak without interruption and asks open ended questions that elicit useful information. Thanks for posting, sundance.
And Jan Jekeliak of Epoch Times.
Tucker Carlson had a great interview with Ben Shapiro, some months ago, and is well worth watching. One of his newest, regarding mandating covid vaccines, is pretty good, too, asking the question “Whatever happened to ‘my body my choice’?? I know that some people think that Tucker can only go so far, or is ‘controlled opposition’, etc. , but he really does hit it on the head fairly often.
So now we know how Tucker can continue to completely ignore the most important story in our nation’s history– massive election fraud. He’s created a very tightly controlled bubble for himself. He lives within that bubble and only permits information to penetrate from carefully selected individuals whom he has preauthorized and determined worthy of sharing facts and expressing opinions.
Sorry. Tucker does a lot of good work but ultimately history will view him as a narcissist and a failure.
No, that is the “Third rail” his corporate bosses have told him he cannot touch and he has obeyed – that is way the “game’,is played. Think pro wrestling – But otherwise Make the show good for the ‘rubes’ ( btw that is the old lingo that they used in wrestling business in the old days to describe their fans )
I completely agree, very well stated Clara. Any news-person ignoring a stolen election is either ‘bought and paid for’ or has no honest intentions of exposing the fraud and corruption.
I’ve always liked Tucker, I think as we all do, he sees life through his “goggles”(how he was raised etc). I like the fact that he does seem human. I do not really watch TV and I was raised without one also. He’s not MAGA but I think as he said his eyes are opening to the truth about the back alley dealings that go on in DC. We need more of him.
Tucker is a good man. I used to send him emails when he was the weekend host on Fox and Friends. He would always respond. He invited my son to visit him on the set (because my son lived across the street in Manhattan from FOX) and sent me his cell number. He is a family man and happened to have a journalist father, a biological mother who left the family, and a stepmother who is an heir to Swanson’s Foods. I had another son who was applying to college when his son was, and Tucker talked about how ridiculous the game-playing of college admissions is.
I have no use for either of the men in this interview. I come to CTH to see less controlled-opp, not more. Sundance: please do not help the fence-sitters build their ark.
Disagree.
Sundance, keep posting content that helps our cause.
Thanks.
So Tucker’s employer is silent when the deep state spies on his employee but Carlson never questions why?
Many of Tuckers topics are brought up 2 or 3 days earlier in Bannon’s War Room.
Sending your children to boarding school so you can fish???
He didn’t say he sent his kids away so he can fish……………smh.
Tucker is like Rush………….glad he is one our side (sometimes). Frustrating when he doesn’t see things we see, but his voice is welcomed.
So sad to say Tucker is about all we conservatives have when it comes to journalists. He’s not perfect and has done some things that make we wonder who he really is. For instance, the night after the Nov. Presidential election when examples of fraud and cheating were emerging Tucker basically said, “there’s nothing to see here, just accept biden and get on with life”. That was the last time I watched Tuckers show.
Tucker is an example of a spoiled kid who grew up in prep schools and ivy leagues. He is a snob. I don’t always like Tucker, but when he is pushed he does push back. He has taken care of his family and that is a good thing. And as he said his kids go to boarding schools too. He is kind of an “amish” type person. He has been spot on lately.
The idea that Trump is a bad person is all about media. Anyone who thinks it is lazy to follow Trump is probably a little self righteous. There are no perfect men. However, there are “imperfect” men who (and few good women) have lead this country in a good way. Those are few and far between. Not many. The truly bad people are the ones who are always reminding us how bad Trump is. What a crock of poop. And when the truly immoral and evil men govern us we get the likes of the dems. NO one is perfect. Not even Tucker. Tucker is good at what he does. He would be a somewhat fun person to be around…but he is not God and he is not perfect. He is a fighter and mostly tells the truth.
FOX was expelled from my house on November 3, 2020 at 10:30 PM. They are never getting back in.
? ? ?
Same here. But I like to watch SOME of the Fox content via You Tube/Rumble links. Don’t you?
No.
Always the qualified, slightly uncomfortable endorsement of Trump. I like Carlson but I’m tired of it. Trump did nothing to deserve this. Everything he said and did was 100% sound in terms of policy and unfailingly in the interests of America.
Like him or not, this is a cool video:
I’m a Tucker fan, and I understand his reluctance to join Pillow Guy as a reliable source of election fraud info. Sorry fellow Treepers.
However … his admission of relying on “tips” from a friend living in Big Sur!? Big Sur!? Land of hardcore sexual deviants, extreme leftists, and Gaia-worshippers !? Really!? Big Sur!? Where the only language spoken is Esperanto!?
Color me concerned. Bigly.
Is this the same Tucker Carlson?

Didn’t he state that he’s not on Twitter? If so, either he’s lying or someone else is running his blue check account:

Thanks for posting this Sundance. I also gained a little more insight into his personal and professional life. And I can easily see why you might relate to the last minute of the interview.
I also gained some valuable insight and a different perspective on the dynamics of this site’s posters by reading all the comments made in this thread. Instead of interacting like I usually do, I just stepped back away and viewed the comments and interactions between members in as nonjudgmental unbiased way as I could and looked at it as a whole and then re-examined the parts.
I need to do this more often as I use to do, especially with my own commenting and interactions.
To maintain his cred Fox allowed Tucker to do a one-time vague monologue on lingering questions by the american people about the election. Crickets since then.
He is a controlled monkey like all the rest on network and cable TV.
How would any of us feel if:
– they bugged our home & business
– the Intelligence Community was setting us up
– with assistance from the DOJ & FBI & Five Eyes
– the AG of NY was suing us
– they raided the office of 2 of your lawyers
– 22 commandos raided the home of one of your quirky friends
– the FBI set up one of your advisors
– the NSA was tracking you and your whole family
– Liberal mobs were burning down cities and even a historic church next to the White House
– etc.
If I recall correctly, after Robert Murller was shut down, President Trump became calmer and more statesman like.
Sundance, Tucker last year covered some of your topics about 2 weeks after you did; therefore I would say “oh, I already know that story.” I noticed in the last 3 months, Tucker covers your same topics with almost the same truths same day or next day. ?. Keep leading the way!!!!
No television and no internet makes it much easier to understand his demeanor on air – he doesn’t wrap himself in what other people think about him.
reminds me of something a wise man once told me…
“Your opinion of me is none of my business.”
