If you did not watch the two-hour+ video of Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate [Rumble Link Here], you might not have the correct perspective for just how devastating this video is for the career of Tucker Carlson.
However, that said, this video is very useful in explaining something about Tucker Carlson that has been discussed, debated and argued on these pages for quite a while. First, watch the video. [6 minutes] WATCH:

.
Tucker flew all the way to Romania to interview Andrew Tate and present him as the victim of a horrible prosecution. Tucker went out on a limb to portray Tate as wrongly accused. When your entire brand is based on judgement and opinion, you cannot be as wrong as Tucker Carlson was in that portrayal of Tate. You just can’t.
Here’s the bigger issue….
This video shows something very important. Tucker Carlson is above average intelligence, above average communication skills, above average vocabulary, but Carlson also has ordinary and average judgement.
When your brand is established only on your judgement, and insightful opinion based on that judgement – and make no mistake the entire Carlson brand is completely organized around those two characteristics, you cannot afford to be this wrong.
With the evidence of that lacking judgement so clear, it then serves as a very specific and clear data point to reconciling other issues, like Tucker Carlson using the Twitter platform to showcase his Tucker Carlson Tonight broadcasts.
Readers here have long known my opinion of Twitter, and that analysis has equally applied to the current disposition of Elon Musk. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is teetering on the precipice of financial ruin as a result of the extremely unstable financial position of the social media enterprise. Twitter is a bottomless pit of costs, with almost no possibility of financial recovery without some major change in the business model.
The financial position of Twitter is the only prism that matters in the review of decisions that Elon Must is making about the platform. Free speech, liberty, safe opinion, the public square, all of it is less than the financial viability of the company. Every large or seemingly consequential decision on the platform is centered around the finances therein. Despite what might be the front face or intent of Mr Elon Musk, nothing else is more important, influential or determinative of his action.
Carlson’s lack of judgement in the Andrew Tate interview, extends toward and explains his relationship with Twitter and Musk; it’s just bad judgement.
Keep this reference point in mind as you weight the opinion and analysis provided by Tucker Carlson.
.
I have question Tucker since his days on cnn. Having listened to him, read his remarks, I decided he was more of a libertarian leaning left. Interesting in presentation, and even then provocative. He is literally a smart butt. I do find him entertaining. I also find him to be somewhat two faced. I seem to look for what he is not saying. He manages to fit into the no socks, khaki, sweater on shoulders, ivy league crowd rather well…mostly because that is who he is. In my opinion, he is interested in being provocative and shocking (the tate video). He may be trying to be modern William F Buckley (who I really found to be annoying). I simply do not trust him. Having said that, I watch him — waiting for that shock comment, funny, biting line. I prefer him to be on our side. Not sure I want him in the fox hole with me, though. Just sayin’.
an old book on WFB you might find absolutely interesting titled – “Piped piper of the estab”
WHY
would Tucker go
so
out of his way
to do
➡️ that
interview?
Going out of his way to do the interview is one thing……sharing it with the internet is another and is even worse. I found it most disgusting….could not get past the first few seconds. Will not watch smut.
I didn’t make is very far in the video either. In my opinion he is a sleazy pimp.
Thats the big question isn’t it? He had to have known about the 6 minute video or whatever video it was a part of and that it was extremely disturbing and full of trashy stuff. So Why Tucker? Below is a post from someone who asked us to read the emails between Hunter and Tucker, I looked at it and the poster is right, take a look.
Carlson gave the reasons, Tate is promoting manhood and Tate was the most google searched man. IMO another reason, Tate is incarcerated.

I think it’s a completely fascinating interview. This is almost the same situation as the Larry Flynt issue. It raises many interesting questions, like, should you “protect” grown women from manipulative men, and just how far should that “protection” extend, i.e., do you put the woman in jail to keep her away from that manipulative man, do you jail the man to keep her away, etc., and what about cat houses? Are women who show up to work in cat houses or strip clubs — well, I mean, you can’t tell me that the same types of manipulations aren’t going on there too.
I don’t see Tucker as “mansplaining” this character, but what I do see is Tucker questioning the charges against the man, you know, charge him with a real crime, you know, like rape, but not this weird thing where you’re just a manipulative man, because as Tucker’s opening monologue said, all men could be accused of being manipulative, so where would these “laws” stop? He’s saying it’s a really slippery slope…..
I only watched the first video. Based on that I see Tate a POS scumbag but did he talk women into sex or actually rape them? Like you, there is a difference between rape and “manipulating” women. Outside of the type of work he coerced them to do, men have been trying to get into women’s pants for millennia. At least some do. Are there criminal charges of manipulation and coercion of adults who consent?
Looking at him I find it difficult to understand how Tate “makes women fall in love with him”. He sure isn’t much to look at (ugly). Must be his money and flashy cars?
Who knows, weak minded women?
Just like the “casting couch”. They had a choice. Outside those who were truly raped.
We see ugly or old rich men with bombshells frequently.
“5 bottles of wine”
I find the collage of Tate’s blathering’s rather deceitful by Sundance. You could piecemeal a video of any male like Tate to make him look like a complete idiot and opportunist. Whether like it or not this dark side of our society exist (porn/sex) and has proven to be an enormous money maker.
Tate is just a vocal scumbag that takes advantage of the system and has been rewarded for it. Tucker interviewing him has zero reflection on Tucker himself. I feel Sundance may have revealed more about themselves than Tucker did.
I really don’t know if Tucker tried to portray Tate as virtuous but I can’t see the crime. Sleezy and manipulative, yes.
“ Carlson’s lack of judgement in the Andrew Tate interview, extends toward and explains his relationship with Twitter and Musk; it’s just bad judgement.” -Sundance
That all depends on what your expectations of Tucker are. If you’re expecting Tucker to be one of us, yes, it’s “probably” bad judgment. But if Tucker is out to make a name for himself in the realm of true journalism where everybody, including us, is fair game for his attacks, it’s probably not bad judgment.
I’m just thankful for the truth, even if it’s at my expense.
And would we protect men from manipulate women?
I think that’s a very valid question there are plenty of women out there who manipulate men
Society encourages that, though.
Ha, a little bit ago I explained this article to my husband. Neither of us are familiar with Andrew Tate. When I brought up the argument of manipulation vs actual rape and charging someone for manipulation, first thing he said there isn’t a wife who’s never manipulated her husband.
It’s like a psychiatrist I heard testify once, he said, “Everybody manipulates their environment, and the only time you stop manipulating your environment is when you’re dead.”
Musk is controlled by China and a benefit subsidies in USA . So he has to walk a tight rope pretending to be free speech and pleasing his masters.
Never liked Tate, like him even less now. What a POS.
The last thing I want to do is listen to him for 2 hours.
This was extremely poor judgment on Tuckers part.
Tate sure isn’t someone I would want my son to emulate.
Excellent comment. Couldn’t agree more.
Yet….you were educated by the interview and learned a lot about Tate and this seedy business he is involved in.
That’s what ‘good journalism’ does…..be thankful.
Isn’t freedom of speech freedom of speech?
I read the article. Then read some comments. Scrolled back up to watch the vid. Accidentally started watching the second (full Tucker interview) vid. Realized it wasn’t the 6 min vid Sundance wanted us to see, scrolled all the way up and watched the 6 min vid. Disgusting, revolting, impossible to defend.
Now, reading the comments, it’s clear that the people defending Tate did what I did, but never realized they missed the first vid. Watch the first 6 min vid, and you won’t be defending Tate.
Yep. Don’t post a word without watching the first vid.
TY, that was helpful advice!
It’s not defending Tate.
It’s defending the right to speak.
You have your opinions, everyone does. So sick of the “omg! We can’t see or hear” this or that.
You have distaste for the man, well now you actually know why you do.
Why? Cause tucker defends your right to hear and make up your own damn mind.
Thank god. So sick of the sheep that just want disagreeing voices shut down.
Expose through listening, hearing and yes, interviewing.
Agree!
Thanks. I had no idea of who Tate was. Never heard if this guy. That 6 min. video explains it…why did TC do that interview??
Wondering if you all feel the same way with the hundreds of interviews on major networks with Charles Manson?
Yes. I’d love to hear Charles Manson. Are you for taking away this right from me?
This channel is as bad as the left. Crazy.
Tucker states very clearly – he is FOR freedom to speak. In this example he is tilting the scales asking us to defend EVERYONES right to speak, not just your side or his.
I love this about him.
Not sure about this article . There is a continuous 30 day incarceration on an unresolved issue.
My complaint with Tucker is only covering the J-6 tapes for 1 day. Now the indictment of President Trump. Tucker was given incredible responsibility and he let the country.
Tucker covered j6, then Fox stopped it.
Too much power and money in the Political Prosecution of those that dared to exercise their rights of protest against an installed Government.
If this Republic Survives, the J6 protesters will rank near the top of those that saved this dying Republic.
FJB could shoot RFK, jr. and all the Media, Internet, including Fox would cut to other Programming.
Before we cast too many stones, let’s remember that Sundan e said Russia would not invade Ukraine. If there had been a rational administration in DC, that prediction would have been correct. Oops.
Tucker’s brand is that he is a curious learner who wants to find out the truth about a wide range of people and events. When he reviewed the January 6 tapes, he was content to show unequivocally that, through a few examples, we have been lied to by our government. Not a deep dive. Didn’t make it his life’s mission to get to the bottom of each case. Just hey, they are lying to us. When he first interviewed Tate, by letting the man speak for himself, Tate made it clear that money was the main thing he cared about, and the morality of how he got it didn’t matter.
I never sensed he was all in for the guy, just found this interesting and to a degree important. Tate reminds me a lot of Epstein. Same methods, different clientele.
I agree. Carlson’s career will not be “devastated” by this video. And, true, our friend here said Russia would not invade Ukraine, which was a terrible lapse in judgment. Even I knew Russia would invade, because of who was installed in the White House. Russia walked all over Obama, so it made sense to me that they’d do the same with Obama’s newest administration in the White House now. I haven’t stopped reading this blog, though. People make mistakes. It doesn’t mean their judgment is completely unsound. Tucker isn’t perfect, but he’s the only person right now who is trying to expose the global totalitarianism and left-wing fascist corporatism taking over the world.
In many ways the “Biden” administration illustrates the axiom, “If you make something fool proof, someone will invent a better fool.”
“Tucker isn’t perfect, but he’s the only (interviewer) right now who is trying to expose the global totalitarianism and left-wing fascist corporatism taking over the world.”
I see Tucker’s “off leash” activities much in the same vein as Meatball’s calculated MAGA moves as governor of Florida. Both are sent by the same handlers. And both are being carefully ‘positioned’ to shiv President Trump and MAGA in the ribs.
I’ve always said that the most believable lies contain nuggets of truth. Many of the deceived hold onto those nuggets, while blinded to the true intentions of the witch offering shiny red apples.
By seeing the bigger picture, Sundance merely highlights those nuances so we can avoid the traps before they are sprung.
For some reason, your last eight words reminded me of Rollerball. Or am I just dreaming?
Tate is a monster with the Government going after him.
Epstein was a monster with the Government benefiting and helping him.
I’ve read in different articles that Epstein was Mossad and perhaps even worked for the CIA. His job was to get politicians and celebrities on tape for blackmail purposes. When the FBI raided his NY townhouse they gathered up all the tapes. I wonder where all the evidence of crimes against humanity are now?
There is something about Tucker that has always seemed contrived.
That laugh sure is is very odd .
Remember the dancing with the stars fiasco.
Why would someone who not only can’t dance but seems unwilling to ever learn to dance ever go on that show ?
I could be wrong ,but he seems to interject the fact that he never watches TV or reads rags like The NY Times up a lot ,just Incase we forgot.
Journalism and TV being a major part of his life.
A bit of a stretch isn’t it ?
I think he is trying to employ the phones as a three dollar bill Bill O’ Reilly tactic of being the above it all arbitrator of Truth.
Just a tactical ploy void of substance.
How can you become well informed if you proactively deny yourself from
see things from the other perspective.
We are to believe he self selects what he chooses to be informed about.
Wouldn’t such a self imposed filter shelter his sometimes childlike little world from at least 75% of thing that matter in this world.
Very easy to do if you are financially independent.
He sometimes seems to long for a stereotypical college professors world living in a comfortable ,easy to conceptualize, fantasy world that is happy and nice to be in.
Doesn’t make for much of a news man.
His going to twitter instead Truth Social is a gigantic tell.
No worldly informed person would put all his eggs in a basket being held by the likes of Elon Musk .
There obviously is more there than meets the eye.
I wish it were not true but my radar is working full time on my view of what Tucker Carlson is up to.
I really don’t need to be disappointed again.
As I was reading other comments I thought of something I would like to share and see what others think.
Look how much traction Trump get when he shows up at UFC events.
I think Tucker May have been clouded by the idea of reaching a totally new audience of pure alpha males and the women who admire them through Tate.
The problem is that it wouldn’t ever work for Tucker like it does for Trump.
Trump ,the quintessential alpha male, can relate to UFC fans
No one in there right mind would ever consider Tucker an alpha male.
Mabel the lure of a massive new audience ,foreign to Tucker world view, could have clouded His judgement a bit.
His going to twitter instead Truth Social is a gigantic tell.
Truth Social is a flea on the back of the elephant that is Twitter. Not big enough audience for Tucker to get views.
So even though you’re on a platform that ,when push comes to shove ,is controlled by CIA operatives as to what is eventually said you go there for the views.
If Carlson is what he claims to be he only needs an unrestricted platform to grow exponentially.
I thought vast amounts of money didn’t drive Carlson’s decisions.
Going to twitter was very shortsighted in my opinion.
Tucker is a rumbl-er
-too (l)
All Media and the Internet is controlled.
Choices of where to get your voice heard, are extremely limited.
What stops Rumble from being Parlered?
Reduce your expectations to reduce your disappointments (so I’ve learned).
So, we don’t like Tucker Carlson anymore?
It does seem like a pretty sudden flip flop.
I don’t think anybody has shed more light on the corruption engulfing our world than Tucker Carlson.
And Sundance of course.
LOL – guess not… LOL
You are free (at the moment). There is no “we” — so like whoever you want.
This guy is a pimp, and if these girls have brothers or fathers that care about them, should have already taken this creep behind the woodshed and beat the crap out of him. Don’t know for the life of me why Tucker would give this punk any air time
What is wrong with the women who get manipulated? Where were their mothers when they were becoming women who should have been giving them cautions? Why does any woman need brothers to beat Tate up; they should have walked away from his charm and good looks?
This attitude is like all the stars who knuckled under to Harvey Weinstein; were made rich and famous in return, then later joined in the condemnation of him? If his behavior was so awful why didn’t they slap his face and leave? They had no morals and wanted what he offered.
Not Only where were their mothers, but where were their fathers
My father taught to treat women with care and respect. I stand by my statement.
Always amazes me is that there are so many women to be explored
Willing to be exploited
“ should have already taken this creep behind the woodshed and beat the crap out of him. “
Hmm, for obscenity?
“While he was involved in an obscenity trial in Georgia in 1978,
Flynt was shot twice by white supremacist serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin,
who said he was incensed by a Hustler mixed-race photo layout.
Franklin was executed for slaying despite opposition from Flynt, who was opposed to the death penalty.”
Wow!
Tucker got played. Very poor. Hope he comes clean on this.
Tucker Carlson got played? 🙄
A waste of time watching any msm TV.
CUT THE CORD
Yes, Tucker exercises bad judgement at times. But who of us hasn’t? I need to see more before I can dismiss him. He’s flawed just like the rest of us but has clarity in what we’re fighting for. I consider that person an ally. This is no time to split hairs. We have to accept the person in front of us and recognize they’re just like us. I will wait judgement until Carlson shows me betrayal. For now, bad misstep but worth a conversation.
It seems like an error on Tucker’s part.
I’m not seeing understanding nor Christian forgiveness.
I am on the right sight?
Bad judgement is common. DJT showed it and it didn’t hurt his brand. TC may have shown bad judgement in interviewing this disgusting person but so what?
Deceit, manipulation, sexual exploitation.
Where does judgement come from? Is it formed from an internalized system of values, from an objective standard, a sliding, ever-moving scale, from feelings?
Maybe judgement is not the real highlight here.
When I first joined Gettr (this was soon after Gettr started), I followed Tate since I had no clue who he was or what he was. I had his short vids on my feed for about 3 months and I had to unfollow him. His vids were so full of foul language and braggadociousness he was unwatchable.
I watched the Tucker interview shortly after it came out and was surprised by “THIS” Andrew Tate. I don’t know if it’s all an act or if his time in prison (90 days) had some affect on him. What I do know is the Andrew Tate in the interview with Tucker was a much subdued Tate than his previous persona.
“I had to unfollow him.”
yes.
Tate’s father is a former analyst for our favorite 3 letter agency so is Tucker’s. The CIA hires within families and has always been a Globalist dedicated institution. That’s what pops up into my brain when I listen to either one,whether I like or disagree with what they are saying.
Sundance – as always, your perspective on this is interesting. I think Tucker would acknowledge that his worldview is different from Tate’s in a lot of ways. Islamic vs. Christian would be the most obvious. By all accounts, Tucker is a loyal husband, and Tate is not.
However, Tucker often appears sympathetic to guests to establish rapport and get them to speak freely. He only seems to challenge when the guest arrogantly refuses to be candid (think Mike Pence). He also listens intently and engages on a particular argument, not broad agreement or disagreement — this is the problem with the MSM: they only consider what fits the narrative. I don’t think it represents bad judgment for him to go to people the MSM has written off. Watch for a Julien Assange interview soon.
As for using Twitter, I agree; however, a whole host of conservative luminaries are equally guilty on that count.
Interesting assessment.
I can’t agree yet with the premise of this article, using a presentation of a 6 min supporting hit piece video. I will be the judge. I will be back after watching the boring vid in full. IMO, no one posting here should have a strong opinion unless they watched the full video. No way a 6 min slandering compilation of soundbites is credible as a stance of justification for a sound opinion.
Tate converted to Islam. He mentions being Muslim in the interview. Not someone I hold up as an example for young Christian men.
Tuckers father is an interesting study, some believe he has deep ties to the intel world. Just food for thought.
This is not a comment about Tate (I didn’t watch the video and don’t plan to) but more of a response to Sundance and other readers….Tucker himself has spoken about the fact that he doesn’t always perceive what’s going on initially. According to Alex Jones (who I have more respect for now that I realize he was there for Waco victims when many weren’t), Tucker’s perspective has been changing as he has understood the spiritual nature of the battle (i.e. he referenced the need to pray for the country in a recent speech even as he mocked the heterodox Episcopalianism in which he was raised). So while I think that Sundance is onto something about Tucker– He has his “blindspots”–I am getting a little weary of the way in which we in the “truther movement” say “aha, see there…he isn’t as perfect as we thought…be careful”. Isn’t the reality that all of us are better as part of a whole? There’s a reason the Scriptures speak of the church as a body with different body parts working together…all of which are needed…even the seemingly weakest members…Let’s be grateful for the good which Tucker has done and continues to do. Sure, critique him when appropriate but thank God for his opposition to war-mongering and stupidity at a time when these things are in such short supply.
Thanks for that reminder. I am often one who lets perfect get in the way of the good.
100%.
TC is a news guy. We should not trust any of them, in my opinion.
It’s like trusting Republicans. Just say no!
TC pokes the bear. I love that.
Do I love TC? Nope, do I trust TC? Oh hell no.
Is he a entertaining bear poker, YEP!
Per Tucker….I’m still waiting for all those hours of Jan 6th videos…He says he watched them and was deeply disturbed…Ok, tell us about them….Per Musk, I think he shuld have stuck to outer space. I believe his intentions were admirable in buying Twitter, his business thinking however sucks…You don’t buy something that has gov’t controlled institution (Deep state) all over it and expect to come out with free speech, no matter what the Constitution says, as that document is being shredded daily with nary a peep from Capital Hill.
Often what appears to be friendly fire, republicans attacking republicans, conservatives raising doubt about conservatives, patriots fragging patriots, is not actually friendly fire at all.
What you are seeing is a Decepticon using psychological warfare techniques against someone the deep state fears. The deep state obviously fears Tucker Carlson.
How do I know which is the patriot and which is the decepticon? Easy. Watch what they DO, not what they say.
Mike Pence: “That’s not my concern!”
Sundance: “I’m no free speech absolutist!“
Even if Tucker Carlson was deceived by Tate, Tucker is an honest man, who acts as a normal person–warts and all. I take any person that occasional makes a blunder than one who you don’t really know because he is always deceptive (such as the current cadre of politicians). Trump has made big mistakes that cost him half of his presidency–appointees undermining him. But Trump is a good man wanting to do good for the American people. At this time, Carlson seems to want our best as well. He is a friend of We the People.
Tucker’s motives are righteous. Time to question why Sundance devotes his efforts to discrediting someone the deep state has targeted.
The censor is the baddie. ALWAYS.
Tucker was right about election fraud though. That’s what got him fired, being right.
Everyone on this board needs to read this article about an email exchange between Tucker and Hunter Biden.
https://www.yaacovapelbaum.com/2021/06/18/hi-my-name-i-tucker-carlson-and-im-a-swamp-creature/
2014 — much has come to light since that year.
Tucker had the same contacts and knew all the same people, and who they were, and what they did — in 2014. Just like he does now. With his unlimited contacts, within influential circles, he solicits hideous dirtbag Hunter Biden for a recommendation letter? PLEASE don’t try to tell me he was unaware of the whores and drug abuse.
Everyone makes mistakes and nobody is perfect.
Sundance points out the 800 pound gorilla in the room once again. You can even see it up there.
https://bigthink.com/videos/missing-the-200-pound-gorilla-in-the-room/
That is one disgusting man! I only got through about half of the 6-minute video before that POS made me feel dirty. I can only imagine how some of his “girls” must have felt when he showed up in their lives. Totally disgusting human being. When he was arrested, I had no idea who this person was. After watching half of that video, I wish I hadn’t watched any of it.
Is this a hit piece on calson… yeah… or is he swimming in the ocean of lies and deceit like the rest of us or is he part of the wave machine… deep state???
i don’t know… I don’t watch calson much. he seems to be honest but like GNanny12345 says, there are times when you know he avoids the elephant in the room at all costs… like hanity has made a living doing the same bs…
Right now lawfare is on the move and we just sit here dumbfounded..
Tate very well may have been lying through his teeth, but given the conduct of the criminals running our government, especially the Dept. Of Injustice, until actual evidence is presented in open Court, is they have that in Romania, how would anyone other than the parties involved know? And his observations about the vile state of our government were dead on accurate, despite his soft soaping the scourge of Islam. One thing is for sure, Tate left no wiggle room. He is either being persecuted, or he is in deep doo doo. As for Tucker, why kill the messenger?
Tate is unlikeable, into exploiting vulnerable young women. Mostly disgusting.
But he is charged in Romania, via U.S. State Department persuasion.
Jeffrey Epstein skated, free as a bird for decades, yet U.S. Media skated faster than Epstein.
Not Tucker’s best choices, but hardly more than that.
I think you may have forgotten to take into account the reality that there is no basis for the charges against him. If you have followed Andrew Tate at all you would know what I mean. But sure, BELIEVE the crap you are told by people in which you have ZERO trust.
Tucker’s fake hearty laugh has always troubled me.
Antifa surrounded Tucker’s house while his wife and children were inside. Did that also trouble you?
Feel conflicted about this SD. It is true that Andrew Tate is an ass, and CK has never seen his appeal or felt the need to come to his aid, though many conservatives have. That said, not willing to condemn Tucker for this. Felt much worse when he was disrespectful to Sidney Powell who was doing the Lord’s work, but she went against the interests of Paul Ryan, so there you go. A few days ago said, “Tucker is very good. Not perfect, but very good.” Stand by that and choose to stick behind an unperfect conservative voice. Just look at the Dems who stand behind each other regardless of anything, but of course, doing that supports their long-term goal of nihilism for communism.
This. I stopped trusting Tucker’s judgment in 2008 when he called Sarah Palin a MILF. Very MSM of him. I think he still sees the world thru MSM-tinted glasses.
Two things can be simultaneously true.
While Mr. Tate appears to be a generally loathsome and “pimpy” (thank you Jordan) human being…the charges against him may very well be contrived…Tate is a very flawed man but also has certain messages about self-determination…internal locus of control…that appeal to young men. Fascinating.
I admit I was duped. Here I thought Tate was instilling renewed masculinity in young me but in turn his empire was built on exploitation of women and young men ( his audience )
Me bad!
My 80% friend is not my 20% enemy.
That being said, putting your faith in a Tucker Carlson a “journalist” who has been immersed in the swamp his entire life is insane.
On the other hand he has done some things that are helpful shinning glimmers of light on his fellow swamp rats, “glimmers”.
Be cautious with anyone in the system, they are malleable and invariably latched to the swamp teat.
Ultra-MAGA!
Invariably.
Tucker is of the Swamp. It just is. I so want people to accept this. It’s not all his fault. He was born into it. I myself come from the ‘ghetto’ in a phase of my childhood years – one of the ugliest, grossest swamprat-infested ones in the country (not Camden but close in its evil). Is it all my fault? Did I choose my parents or their backgrounds, their issues, their damage? No, and neither did Tucker Carlson. He just got raised to be what he is. How would he even leave, where would he go? Sure he’s rich and very well-connected but can he walk down the street without everyone recognizing him, wondering about him, possibly plotting against him?
He chose to give up his anonymity (I am shy by nature in person for the most part) as an adult but something in his childhood predisposed him to being what he is. Not a normal family environment. Not a relatively normal life.
Deep down Tucker is just a bratty little boy who wants attention, a comfortable lifestyle, and fun. Who can blame him, really?!!!
This man is a complete POS. Owen Benjamin called it immediately if anyone remembers him. Very funny up and coming comedian that was banned from everything. Owen Benjamin is probably the most banned man in the world. Dave chapelle steals his jokes.
Tucker I guess did it because it’s an interesting interview? Yes, bad judgement.
Yep…bad move by Tucker, but this is not the totatality of him. He’s not a liar, he’s not typical media fake news. We’ve seen that. And nobody is perfect.
Yeah. Tucker’s not perfect. He appears to be wrong about Tate, just as I believe he is wrong about UFO’s being real. Heck, I even disagree with many here on the Ukraine war. I see it as an unprovoked and illegal invasion by an aggressively imperialist Putin that has degenerated into a US/NATO proxy war not with Russia, but with China, as China funds Russia by buying its oil.
We can’t be clones of each other. We won’t always agree on everything. But in the end I will take support for President Trump wherever I can find it.
Ward, I think you’ve been a little hard on the Beaver.
never trust a news entertainer
Never trust a censor. Or their grandma.
Tate is disgusting on many levels. This guy is not a man, he is scum. I didn’t understand why Tucker went to him for his whole “manhood” special either. This guy is not a man worth emulating, dating, or marrying, he is filth. Did he commit crimes? I don’t know, but maybe don’t swim around in the world of organized crime and run an exploitative business model in foreign countries…
Hmmm…, what then to make of Tucker’s take on Trump?
I watched the full interview, and thought it was even-handed. Tucker didn’t dull-out agree with Tate’s stances, nor did he reject them out of hand. Tate may indeed be a vile criminal, I don’t know. He didn’t present himself that way in the interview. Those with preconceived opinions saw only thru that filter. Since I barely was aware of Tate, I had no such preconceptions. He has been a big success and has the outsized ego to accompany it. “Manipulation” of a woman is not a crime, but if he is guilty of a real crime, let the punishment fit it.
BTW, Tucker flew to Romania to get Tate’s side of the newsworthy story (now we trust the MSM Narrative?), and Tate is not allowed to legally leave.
Tucker was trying to get at the legal system and injustice. Like Sundance says poor judgement. He picked the wrong person to highlight injustice.
All of this can be described in two words: Post Christianity. Tate wasn’t brought up right or he turned to evil later. The women weren’t brought up right or they later turned to evil. Also the men in their lives should have protected them. Difficult to do in our world today.
I always thought Tucker was a Christian. If so he should pray on this and ask forgiveness.
Louis wrote down below: “Yes, Tucker exercises bad judgement at times. But who of us hasn’t? I need to see more before I can dismiss him.”
I am not a Tucker fan nor am I a Tucker detractor.
I don’t just buy what Tucker is selling. I try not to buy what anyone is selling where news and opinion is concerned. Sometimes I fail, but most of the time I keep my skeptical ears on before I form an opinion.
My assessment is wrong sometimes.
I spend almost 30 years working as an auditor and a fraud examiner. It’s hard not to be skeptical after some of the things I saw.
Not a single one of us is without flaws and that includes our judgement.
Maybe Tucker’s judgment was off in selecting this interview. He’s probably been off on other interviews as well.
Finally, I was skeptical about Tucker for years when he was on Faux News so I didn’t watch him. That makes me a fairly recent Tucker watcher (not a follower).
IMO, it’s wise for all of us to keep our skeptic radars working. Don’t just believe what the “experts” whoever they might be tell you because they are often later proven wrong or worse they are using their “expert” platform to push agendas that are strictly political.
One of Tate’s MO’s is spouting hyper-masculinity.
He’s just a piece on the chessboard that is to be removed and no one will care about it.
They want him gone because he’s a voice against male feminization.
We are ok with that because he doesn’t run in our circles and “manipulates” grown women looking for a rich dude.
Gray area for sure. But as long as everyone is a consenting adult, I’ll defer.
If Tate broke the law, bring the evidence.
Tucker interviews him because of clicks, that was his judgment call.
This is why whenever I have posted anything related to Andrew Tate, I have done so with the disclaimer that I am not endorsing the man.
It IS, as you say, a gray area, but because of his large following among younger men, even conservatives, he warrants attention here, just for the sake of being informed as to what is going on out in the world.
I see an awful lot of conservative commentary that says basically what you are saying, Slayer. They will wait and see if there is anything to the charges.
Jounalists interview people that will draw an audience. Period.
Is that it, or is Tucker part of a CIA plot to normalize this human garbage?
My view is he’s part of a plot to normalize it but isn’t 100% aware. Or he’s on drugs when he does these particular segments. Either way, it’s unclear how this video can win.
My usual: TC at the end of the day is a sad character. I refuse to see him as evil, because my strong sense is that he is not. Opportunistic and exploitative even, in some ways, but evil like this piece of human garbage?
He knows not what he does.
At least, that’s the story I’m sticking with.
Why, Tucker.
Just why.
Agree with you, but I think Sundance has hit on a key point.
I’ve seen Tucker as a sort of frat boy who enjoys mixing things up (likes to punch at what he perceives as authority).
But I think an issue with judgment hits the nail on the head. Tucker exposed himself with this interview.
The CIA is evil, and he works with them if he’s not ‘one’ of them. He probably is though.
They think they’re doing ‘good’ for the country. And I’m sure at some point, somewhere, somehow in the history of this country they did some ‘good,’ in the sense that they got information or staged a coup or blah blah yada whatever…that somehow helped…someone?
Mostly I think they’re sociopaths, psychopaths and parasites. Sadists number highly among them. They take pleasure in giving people pain, or at least satisfaction. I’d say a significant number take a certain pleasure.
They deal in commodities…drugs…weapons…information…human torture. Pimping is a profitable business dontcha know.
Seriously, I could be typing my final words here with my mantra but so be it.
Tucker Carlson is either ‘agency’ or hardcore consultant. He may not ‘know’ all but he DOES NOT want to know if so. He absolutely does not care.
Here’s the last scene from Rescue Dawn, the Vietnam movie starring Christian Bale who played the real life POW survivor hero martyr Dieter Dengler. That man was rock. That man was is always will be ‘manly.’
Tucker Carlson is just another spook, media whore, cool guy wannabe scion of a wealthy privileged media mogul espionage family.
My uncle was experimented on during the 1950’s by the CIA with Bz, as were many young men. He lived with a form I guess of schizophrenia for the rest of his days. They were just ‘studying.’
In the film, the working and fighting men sneak Dieter out from under the evil conduct of the CIA. It was one of the best Vietnam movies of all time, Christian Bale may be a prima donna to work with (or can be) but he is to me also a hero:
xox
To add, my uncle was experimented on without his consent.
Great comments.
I especially agree with this: “Tucker Carlson is either ‘agency’ or hardcore consultant. He may not ‘know’ all but he DOES NOT want to know if so. He absolutely does not care.” I don’t think Tucker focuses on moral issues. He’s all about money and fame, and having fun along the way, and money matters as a way of keeping score. And I think Tate has the same perspective — make money pimping (first video) and make money coaching/being an influence with men (second video). Either way,it is all about business.
We’re probably both already on lists.
Not only are we on lists. We’re watched closely, I’m certain I and some close friends of mine (who have pro-freedom anti-big government beliefs and who have various expert skills/jobs) are monitored.
I’ve noticed they pick up stuff from this blog all the freaking time. Like, one time last early fall I literally caught at least 6-7 almost verbatim mini-quotes from commenters here on Tucker’s show the next night.
I wasn’t surprised at all. I’ve been commenting on pro-freedom blogs for at least a decade now. Political writers (of all stripes but I notice Republican ones especially) and commentators cull ideas and info (and sometimes even phrases or quotes) from various blogs. It’s not just the host or main writers/articles.
They graft from our input, our ideas, our stances, reactions, etc. etc. Tucker really really digs this blog, or his writers and staff do.
But worse is I’ve caught Tucker and other media personalities, especially online ones who I already suspected of being feds, CHEATING off me! Like, from personal emails and text messages and phone conversations I’ve had.
Way way worse is that Tucker once acknowledged this on his show the night after I complained about it to someone on here. He was literally bullying me. Now, he did look down and to his side when he made an obvious but sort of cloaked reference to how people (and I!) were being surveilled in a way that to me did seem sincere. He made a specific reference to something I had texted the day before, no shit. I bought that he didn’t really want to be bullying me and his writers/producers et al were making him. Somebody(s) with higher up power were somehow inveighing on poor little playful investigative reporter (or what exactly is Tucker anyway…) Tucker S. Carlson.
I was in all sorts of places that seem interesting to politicos. I changed in a way that they want to promote – D’s to Rs. I won all sorts of writing awards at prestigious hoity toity snob schools in my youth. I’m not narcissistic like all the other blabbermouths on the internet who get paid, so that also makes my personal ruminations to friends (one of my closest friends was in Tucker’s friend group at Trinity College although they weren’t close themselves) seem useful, relevant, fascinating.
So for various reasons they literally ‘cheat’ off me. I can’t possibly be the only one, so watch your phones, computers, etc. It’s very tough to encrypt.
I saw some shit, folks. Stuff you try not to talk too much about or think too much about. And ‘they’ – the CIA – like it that way.
I guess I joke about it because I hate it and hate that we (and I) have paid for it for years.
What you said is an eye opener but I guess it shouldn’t be because TPTB are not creative people, so stealing from people like you sounds like what they would do.
They ‘steal’ from lots of us on here every other day, I don’t even bother checking anymore. The difference in my case is they do it without my permission. What we write and share on here is our choice. If some staff writer at the National Review or Fox News or wherever wants to ‘borrow’ from us, we can’t really prevent them. Some people write on here wanting their opinions to get aired to Tucker’s millions of viewers.
I highly doubt I’m the only ‘high profile’ target who comments here. Watch your backs. Encrypt if you can (I’m working on it…not easy thing to do logistically). A close friend is one of the top scientists/engineers in the country and he gets watched all the time, as he is anti-‘woke’ and has ‘questionable’ opinions, shall we say. He does nothing ‘criminal,’ but tell that to the parasite rats who spy on innocent americans without any lawful warrants.
Sidenote: your accusation of TC as being CIA displays your weaknesses more than Tucker’s.
Most on here recognize that TC is CIA. There’s nothing ‘weak’ about that. He’s either official or a ‘consultant,’ either way it doesn’t matter.
It is not a gray area when people are assaulted. That is a legal issue. There is no exception in the law that you can assault your whores.
When you look at Tate and what he does through a moral lens, there is no gray area.
He is filth and unethical. If you have to promote that faux masculinity you are a tool.
You know who is masculine and doesn’t spout nonsense or exploit teens and young women in the sex industry?
That man who digs the coal, ranches, operates the submarine, builds your house, marries and stays married with lots of kids.
Tate and his brother give Eurotrash a bad name.
Pretty easy to notice who the agents are.
innit, tho?…
Indeed, to give this rake a public platform just for “clicks” is despicable
yes, lulu.
It’s funny, I always held the European men in such higher esteem than more american ones. They seemed so elegant to me, so decent and graceful compared to more american men. This country, the US, has always had such tragic issues with women (and some might say people…)
I discovered southern men at a certain point in my life, and it changed my sense of what it was to be an american woman. They returned to me a belief in myself and in humanity (I am an anglocelt so that is part of it, their foundation is mine as well).
How tragic to see this ‘eurotrash’ taking over the unbearable beauty of America. He’s part black and I don’t know what else, not sure if it’s truly European or jewish perhaps.
The certain thing is he is pure blue blooded trash.
Of course Tate broke the law… The texts have been leaked. The evidence is out there.
Tate tricked women into coming overseas too Romania with false promises of marriage, then once they arrived in Romania he wouldn’t let them leave the house, and used the threat of violence to manipulate them into doing porn videos.
Some of the women were even physically branded.
Tate also admitted he made money from the smuggling of drugs and forged documents, and (on video in 4K) scoffed at the idea that he had to follow Romanian laws.
Tate is the biggest PoS in a long time, and a total sociopath, but luckily was dumb enough to leave a trail of evidence a mile wide.
Sundance’s article is absolutely on point. The fact that Tucker did a 2 hour interview with Tate shows an astounding failure of judgement.
It is the same
total failure of judgement to hitch your star to Elon Musk and Twitter as a content delivery platform, not realizing that Musk and Twitter is probably going to spectacularly implode within 36 months.
If Tucker had any brains he would simultaneously stream on YouTube, Odysee, and Rumble, and use Twitter as a secondary method of delivery, so he’s not putting all his eggs in one basket.
Tucker + ( Twitter + Tate ) = Poor judgement
Wow been watching fake MSM a bit much
No, asdfasdf has been observing reality and thinking for himself. He doesn’t belong to any frat boy group.
It’s judgment, not judgement — unless we’re writing as Brits.
Spawn of Satan — that’s what I believe of ATate. That TC would even consider airing such filth and the slime that ATate spews forth is galaxies beyond mere poor judgment.
So TC wants to be remembered as the “man” who crossed the boundaries between legitimate reporting/interviewing and brothel-speak, prurient and demeaning gutter talk.
Who knew he was so enamored of the dark denizens of human debauchery? So curious? So hard up for attention? And so he works to share such depravity with any who fall into his trap.
NOT a reputation that any honorable or decent man would court.
While when ATate reaches his final destination he’ll be comforted by his fellow gnashers-of-teeth, TC will get to spend eternity among the weepers.
Is it worth it, Tucker? What’s that about being thrown into the sea with a millstone around your neck?
Ten years ago, I was on a dating website where I was in contact with men. We had phone conversations and they sent me photos of their beautiful homes, cars… We got along great, too great. It was very tempting to visit them. They always lived far away. But always I would think how do I get out of there, and I cut off the contacts.
You are correct in stating that Tate is a sociopath. There are many of them and it’s up to us to not fall in their trap. Those that do are in quest of wealth and an easy and pleasurable life.
I’m 100% on board with your opinion.
I’m a woman, not a spring chick. I was beautiful and intelligent and all the men wanted me. I became very selective. I also refused females in my environment but I saw them in action.
These females that gravitate around wealthy males, I’ve seen them. They change their true personality to fit and ensnare their male target.
Tate’s women were not on Epstein Island. They consented to the webcam. They could leave and search for another target without any threat to their life.
As to Tucker, yes, it is all about clicks.
Tate is basically a PUA, and what Pick Up Artists do is use women’s hypergamy against them to get them into “their Frame.” These women are adults, and he doesn’t murder them to my knowledge (DS trafficker do often murder who they traffic).
A DS trafficker doesn’t stop with adult females or sex trafficking, as they use underage girls and boys, and often small innocent children for sex, human sacrifice, and worse they even use babies for sex and sacrifices. So trying to equate what Tate’s done to DS trafficking is amazingly false logic. I’d say 60% of the trafficked DS people used is males (and no one talks about that horror for those boys). Raping and abusing boys is easier to keep underground, and few raise a stink about boys.
Another thing not talked about is how the Feminine Imperative is destroying the West’s family structure, and without that family structure, Western Civilization will not survive. Even if Tate’s PUA BS is wrong, could it be pointing to a basic flaw with women constantly looking for the upper .01 super rich to marry.
Tate is not representative of masculinity (“a voice against male feminization”). He’s an example of the opposite.
Real men don’t use other people. Tate uses women to make money and to try to convince himself he’s a man.
Real men use their competence and strength to help build and protect the groups they are part of (a family, a small social network/community, a work group, whatever).
Everyone can rely on real men, not fear what they will do if they don’t get their way.
