In preparation for 2024 CTH now has a strong source arsenal of very specific contacts. I can say with certainty that Tucker Carlson publicly expresses significant support for Elon Musk and his Twitter endeavor; however, privately Tucker says he doesn’t trust Musk one bit.
What’s the motive for the two faces? Easy, Carlson is launching his own platform, and he is publicly positioning for the largest populist audience, while avoiding the harder road of speaking true, yet unpopular opinions. Tucker isn’t the only voice doing that, and (short term) Musk is benefiting, but watch out. Take that reality as you will, but it’s a truthful baseline.
[Trending Politics] – Tucker Carlson is launching a new streaming dedicated to his brand of brash conservatism, one that is expected to rival the online efforts of Fox News and other major players in center-right news circles.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the new service, which launches Monday, is expected to cost $9 per month, or $72 per year, and offer content from Carlson and other reporters that builds on lengthy programs he has been freely releasing for months on X. Sources close to the project expect up to five shows to be ready by mid-week, a combination of interviews, short-form videos and monologues. Named the Tucker Carlson Network, the new outlet will have a red pill as its logo, a wink to conservatives who regularly use the “Matrix” reference to imply a greater understanding of truth over misinformation.
Like most online outlets, some programming on the Tucker Carlson Network will remain free and ad-supported while other interviews and monologues will be available exclusively to subscribers without ads. Carlson was taking sign-ups for the service at his own site, www.tuckercarlson.com, as of Monday morning. (read more)
The surest way to lose trust (and access) is to share one’s conversation in private.
“however, privately Tucker says he doesn’t trust Musk one bit.”
It is my hope and prayer that Tucker and Elon… each to their own… have Patriotism and love for our America at heart. And before I get the onslaught of bashing about Elon Musk – I’ve listened to a few multi-hour podcasts of interviews with him. The jury is still out about him in my humble opinion.
Well juries today are notoriously fickle and easily demagogued, so don’t let that bother you. 😉
Elon is still the trans-humanist darling of the WEF New Man endeavor. THAT endeavor, on the other hand, is the effort to craft a slave race of people from the reduced, post pandemic/war/famine, etc. population that the kings of the mountain hope is all that remains from their various “humanitarian” efforts.
But in the meantime, X/Twitter is allowing some people to say some things they couldn’t before, so take advantage of the enemy’s miscalculations and let the Truth flow free. Remember that He that restrains will only restrain a while longer until He is taken out of the way. This interval is the time to open as many eyes as possible, so let’s not waste it.
I appreciate your insightful perspective.
Well said.
Bottom line is that Musk is a globalist, to him it’s all about survival.
On the trans humanist wet drram, two words and a question: Eloys and Morlochs, and us vs the geek billionares, which will be which?
Definetly Truth and Credibility are commodities in short supply, which increases their percieved value.
Instinctively as well as consciously, some people and perhaps entities are going to detect that increased market demand, and seek to capitalise on it.
Those whose primary goal is to influence public opinion will speak Truth, to gain credibility SO THAT they can then exploit that credibility, in order to manipulate.
And thats of coarse what we are leery of, with any of these Truth talkers that have emerged (Tucker Elon, Vivek, Rfk Jr., and even a second tier of Rogan, Brandt, Dore, etc. who are also Capitalising on this yuge market demand for Truth, and inextricably associated CREDIBILITY.
This is what our discussions regarding the color of their hats are all about; can we TRUST them, and so invest them with CREDIBILITY?
i.e “Are they a White hat?”
Credibility takes TIME, and a TRACK record, and right now we have few we can trust based on a track record, for me its Sundance, PDJT, Kari Lake, and really thats about it,…
I THINK Tucker is “on the up and up” would like to think these others are, as well,..however best to like WHAT they say, when its the truth, and when it furthers the MAGA agenda, but not invest my feelings about what they SAY, with who said it.
My jury of me, myself, and I has voted.
He puts electrodes on monkeys’ shaved heads and submits them to shocks.
While we’re on the topic of former Fox broadcasters, a present one (Jesse Watters) just had an eye-opening segment on the attempted arson of Martin Luther King’s birthplace home — at about 15 minutes in on today’s show.
The young black woman was wrestled to the ground by a couple of ‘tourists’ or ‘off-duty or ex-police officers’, varying among several accounts I’ve read or heard
She’s mid-20s and is ex-military, served in the Navy and did well, apparently
Watters painted the picture that American just escaped a potential national conflagration it the arsonist had been succesful and the burn-down had been blamed on ‘MAGA Country’ like the Jussie Smollett hoax
… with the potential for national unrest, riots, violence, fires, bombings … you name it
Digging into her background, it was revealed she followed online a black-power activist who promotes national race war
This arson would have played into the plans of actors like him
Worth a view or re-post of the clip … again, today about 15 minutes in
That little story smelled fishy from the beginning.
FBLIE is getting sloppy…good
They were always “sloppy”.
The people have just started to notice.
Not to argue against… But you are aware that our IC is in the regular practice of just such “shenanigans”…
Too convenient. The story is too pat. They didn’t need to inmolate the MLK house. A real arson takes place after dark. This whole thing reeks of three letter agency plot.
what reeks?
the arson?
or the arsonist being foiled?
this looks like the Fox clip
Vivek Ramaswamy: I’m grateful to local law enforcement
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy joins ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ to discuss Martin Luther King Jr.’s home being targeted by a Black supremacist.
Again, this clip is really worth a view, especially Watters’ monologue in recounting the story
— could have started a national race war
— arsonist posted articles by black supremacist who wants race war, 3 hours prior
— cites ‘off-duty’ or ‘retired’ NYPD officers who stymied the arsonist and held her down for police
Appreciate you Nimrod, thanks
nim…
we’re really already in that war. What we’re seeing with the blacc sucker-punch on the street to the smash-and grab robberies
to the white-bashing- to pushing old people (or young) down to the terrorist supporters or the open race-based hiring practices
like the Harvard pres (still being supported by the marxist left in crazy Mass.)
And…how about that Chi mayor or the idiot Philly mayor/dA who don’t prosecute career criminals?
Why are you still watching FAUX News? They are controlled opposition and cannot he trusted. FAUX news’ job is to help shift the overton window ever leftward. Might as well watch “the republican experts” on CNN…
Try RAV
Mavericks should always circle others warily. It is part of what makes them both edgy and appealing.
We want punchy; not bros.
Don’t forget that Elon has SpaceX and Tesla to worry about. I don’t know that it is possible for Elon to be considered an ally in the real fight. The best we can hope for is that Elon maneuvers such that he does not have to actively work against us.
Musk has spawned a marvelous and long-needed awakening at the AG level regarding fundraising with false and unauthentic narratives. The Missouri AG is heralding the MOAB of consumer protection actions against Media Matters, their sycophants, the advertisers who colluded to advance the false narratives. It’s also a template for related fraud, inauthentic, deceptive and misleading practices in the public solicitation of charitable contributions of any type or nature.
Since we know little of how Musk ended up being one of the largest government contractors, and we have some idea of Carlson and his father’s sketchy backgrounds, I’ll wait.
This just from Wikipoo:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Carlson
Interesting and, if true, should be on people’s minds. Thanks for sharing.
That said, Wikipedia is not the Bible.
Exactly Correct about Wikipedia. Buyer Beware.
Dick Carlson on American Untold Stories.
ALL of Elon Musk’s business are state capitalism enterprises. None of his businesses would exist without heavy government subsidy.
SpaceX is privatized NASA
Starlink is privatized USA funded space communications
Twitter/X is heavily subsidized and paid for by the weaponized Patriot Act agencies data subscriptions
OpenAI was built on years of DARPA funded AI research
Neuralink will be a brain chip inserted in your childs brain to link all of the above together
Tesla and the entire EV supply chain goes from China/Biden/Taliban batteries to USA and California subsidies and perks
Musk is a Janus face
On one side he wants to free you from AI and is Team Human
On the other he wants to brain chip your kids
On one side he wants to help you beat AI
On the other he is backdooring all your data in real time to train the beast system
Musk (and all his businesses) are multi-sided market places
Lets look at Musk and Twitter/X
Buy Twitter giving Jack (a CIA/DARPA/SES asset) a free pass for the years of abuses at Twitter
After “liberating”he becomes a hero of MAGA, conservatives, libertarians
HE tells woke advertisers to f%^k themselves and then sells the viral social graph to those advertisers
Reinstated Trump and Jones and makes Twitter a MAGA Burning Man or opens the gates of the Capital building on J6 and does a Ray Epps
By the law of the Patriot Act he is legally required to sell all of the data to the weaponized Patriot Act agencies and lie about it
Presumably he also has a huge data treasure now, much more than Facebook and Google since they where required to deplatform and destroy their main economic value as a data mining operation
Musk gets to appear virtuous, as a champion for free speech and liberty, and very conveniently he is legally required to NEVER talk about the Patriot Act weaponized data feed out the back door
Elon Musk is a Multi Sided Market
Product: Peoples Social Networks, Graphs, Meta Data
Data Subscribers: Patriot Act, Woke Corporations (who know doubt want to learn about the customers who hate them)
Predictive Analytics Subscribers: Patriot Act Agencies and Woke Corporations buy the X data to predict what their wayward conservative markets will buy
PRESCRIPTIVE Analytics: At critical times the People will be Prescribed certain courses of actions, think Covid19 Lockdowns/Mask Mandates
Elon Musk wants Twitter/X to be the USA Everything App (payments, comms, video) that you will embed in your childs skull, connect via Starlink and backdoor into the Patriot Act Agencies and the Woke Corporations
You think the Twitter/X Mobs are bad now, wait until they embed Twitter/AI is your kids brains and OBidan gets to download direct..
This is literally the plan, and its all for Team Human
Wise not to Trust Elon RINO Musk
My guess is Twitter will become part of Fox News, possibly driving Twitter into the ground financially will make it appealing to a notoriously stingy Rupert Murdoch who loves counter cyclical investing
Who knows more about Fox News viewers now? Bringing all these conservatives, patriots, honest liberals, independents and liberaterians back onto Twitter creates a new data mining extravaganza for News Corp/Fox News
I used to work for News Corp, and all of above is totally aligned with Murdochs machiavellian mode
Elon Rino Musk, has bought Twitter, and is now bringing conservatives back onto the platform so he can sell-out their data to the weaponized Patriot Act agencies. Twitters biggest customer for social marketing and data subscriptions is the government.
https://culturalmaga.com/p/136-fake-victories-of-florida-and-twitter
PS: The Agencies dont need Twitter (or Google or Facebook) data monitoring any more, they use mobile phones, ISPs and telcos with AI and the social media networks do not have the same vital place they had as surveillance systems
Musk is providing a value add, he is providing a Prescriptive Analytics platform. Soon it wont just be a data mining and social marketing platform. Soon it will be an app embedded in your kids brainss
you know who used to go sailing every year with Conservative Trump supporter Larry Ellison from Oracle
Rupert Murdoch
Elison would be side channeling all of the inside baseball at Twitter to Murdoch who will probably buy RINO Twitter perhaps via some kind of asset swap
https://www.foxsports.com.au/sailing/sydney-hobart/theres-a-bomb-about-to-go-off-sydney-to-hobarts-horror-day/news-story/0bc22c36ffe0070436f69f0a41d9074e
Murdoch family
Ellison (sailing buddies)
Musk
Twitter
Ellison invested private money in Twitter, where did Ellison get that money from?
imagine if it was Murdoch now a silent partner, soon to be an active investor?
Silent partner in Fusion GPS…Hillary campaign was the public face of funding
I notice that all of those who are persecuting Trump, use OPM, (other people’s money), to do their deeds and I don’t hear anybody squeaking about that;
However I hear a whole lot about how bad it is for Musk to do the same thing – certainly ironic right ?
Also I notice that Musk starts new businesses and hires people to work for him, (and at a fair wage I hear);
So how many of TRump’s persecutors start new business establishments and employ people at a fair wage ???
As PDJT said about Russia, it might not be such a bad thing to have Musk as your friend !!!
Blackrock, State Street & Vanguard owned companies to start.
Please explain, people persecuting Trump use OPM dollars to make him (Trump) poorer and Musk uses government dollars to make himself richer and you can not see the difference?
Well, at least with X, it remains to be seen that he will get richer.
But you are right, I see very little difference.
Are you OK?
I said that there is a big difference. Trump getting poorer with his government interactions and Musk getting richer (so far at least).
And you’re response is that I am right, yet you see very little difference.
Do you have cognitive problems?
Musk may lose his shirt with X, but he has made mega millions from the public teat via government handouts for EVs and Space X contracts.
Are you a troll? They are very infrequent on this website and when I call them out they seem to disappear almost immediately.
Are you a troll? I get tired of these sky is falling posts that are nothing more than frustrated emoting. Stick to reality – shaping an illusory world helps no one. And attacking others who disagree often stinks of DS tactics.
PDJT is the second richest among all US politicos. Contra prevailing myth, he funded much of his Presidential runs with some PAC moneys and a substantively large number of small contributor donations. Yes…all these trials drain the coffers. That said, PDJT has always been a crafty businessman.
I get tired of all these side skirmishes. It’s also tiring, year after year, witnessing a strange psychology that assumes evil intent in almost every instance; a psychology that doesn’t seem to understand that a purist approach cannot succeed – all of history demonstrates that success requires some collaborations that are often, errr, distasteful.
The trick is understanding where the fall line is and understanding how to control outcomes while allowing for some tactical and operational flexibility – while remaining steadfast in the strategy. There was a time I supported SPECOPS exercise planning while deployed as a staff weenie. I was amazed by one or two of the countries we actually interacted with. It’s fluid turf in the real world. You can’t go it alone; you can’t succeed without teaming from time to time. The truly great leaders know how to work the edge.
I’ll admit that this is a standup response and I apologize for mischaracterizing you.
We may not agree on everything, but I think that we’re on the same side.
Please accept my apologies.
I rescind this post. Unfortunately it’s too old to delete.
I agree with every word of your post, and have always thought that Musk was inviting ‘MAGA’ back to Twitter, as the powers that be were losing their ability to collect data on them. I never went back to Twitter and think that those who did should have thought twice. As you advise, there is not ONE Musk venture that is not wholly tied to the US government.
Didn’t Elon Musk PAY BACK all of those LOANS?
Much like TRUMP paid his loans and is in court because he did everything correctly.
Really, it’s all simple.
End ALL subsidies and aid, both foreign and domestic!
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending on object of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” – James Madison – Annals of Congress, House of Representatives, 3rd Congress, 1st Session, page 170
This is true, but we can only imagine the pressure being applied.
Patriots don’t care about money or danger in their fights for freedom. Tucker complains that America helping the Ukrainians fighting the former KGB Putin for their freedom and their families cost to much as is too dangerous. So, whatever good or bad Tucker Carlson is, he is certainly no Patriot. I would say he’s an anti-patriot. Most conservatives are Patriots. Most libertarians, like Carlson, are anit-Patriots.
Wait… what!? You have an odd perception of a “patriot”. Tucker would be 100% correct on that point. We are beyond broke & have far too many problems here at home. And we sure as hell shouldn’t be risking American lives for a country that is basically a playground of corruption.
Not sure where you’ve been… but all foreign aid is a money laundering scheme. America FIRST.
I don’t want my taxes going to Ukraine pensioners and oligarchs…and utilmately Zelenskyy’s yachts.
That war was over long ago, and only continues in order to stuff the U.S. MIC’s coffers. Even congresscritters have admitted that.
The munitions that the U.S. has supplied are ending up in terrorists hands–something like 60% of them. There is no accountability of the monies handed over…just like Afghanistan and Iraq.
To not understand those things, is to be willfully blind to facts.
🤔
they used each other – to hype up their product
Perhaps Tucker Carlson is more interested in telling the truth rather than giving truthful opinions.
This is called real journalism. The rest is commentary.
I don’t care what anyone else says – I think Carlson and Musk are both blessings and I think Trump likely agrees.
Tucker has the talent of being interesting to listen to.
Elon has other talents, and Tucker’s is not a primary with him. But he’s listenable.
Both of them speak some truths that are hidden from the general populace.
The only thing I look for from them is waking up as many lofos as possible while there may still be time to save the Republic.
Neither of them has to be perfect MAGA to get people started down a road of questioning.
Listenable, I really, really like that word.
Tidbit.
Low information voter was originally a leftist insult but Rush Limbaugh took it from them and made it his own LOL
Only quibble is that Rush should have modified it slightly to be NIVs (No-Information Voters).
The equivalent of today’s insult of Leftist useless idiots as NPCs (Non-Playable Characters as in a video game).
Except they are not useless idiots, they are actually quite USEFUL idiots of the progressive left.
The LEFT is USEFULL IDIOTS not needed to be infiltrated.
“The useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet, Socialist, Communist, or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher.” “They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.” – Yuri Bezmenov
Today’s Democrat voters are FIVs, Fake Information Voters. They are crammed full of fake news and fake narratives.
“It Ain’t What You Don’t Know That Gets You Into Trouble. It’s What You Know for Sure That Just Ain’t So” said Mark Twain
Excellent. I’m right there with you. We need the voices in full throttle now and every little bit helps get the word out. These are two big voices that reach millions. Pray they keep telling truths the public would not hear otherwise. They may not be perfect but they are perfect enough right now to help our cause of saving this republic.
Conservatives celebrate diversity in thought in the best possible way.
May the market place of ideas have a place to reach full flower.
Amen Jaye
I adore listening to opinions that align with my own. It’s validation. It doesn’t mean I am ever all-in with certain people, however.
I also like different perspectives. Still, after doing my own research it is rare (these days) that I change my mind about certain messengers– regardless of what they proclaim.
Talk is cheap, and I am weary of manipulation.
🎯
I am also happy Musk and Carlson are doing what they are doing right now
but, lets not get emotional or irrational about their self interests, their stakeholders, investors and constraints
its simply institutional dynamics
I noticed a change in both men after they experianced adverse occurances. Tucker had a lifestyle change after his wife and kids were endangered by a leftist mob and he was out of town. Elon who had a son called Xavier now has a daughter called Vivian who knows where he got that idea, hopefully it was just a name change and no pernament bodily harm.I just wonder if that might have made both men more inclined to speak their minds
Elon also claimed to have suffered an adverse event after taking the jab. Said he had to at the time to travel overseas for business.
Something like that might make a person start to question certain motives & agendas.
for the moment, yes.
Tucker and Musk are about: celeb and money.
Tucker was just fired from his job for telling the truth. Musk is hardly in need of money.
Lol. Musk makes his money off the American people and the CCP.
Tucker is a little late to the game of truth-telling. While he does some good interviews, so does that Margaret fellow on MSNBCNNABC.
Well… Thats just access. The work really starts when you have the beast in your sights.
Does anyone know when Tucker’s Fox contract was dissolved?
Yup.
Musk is really raking in the money with twitter (x).
Maybe that is why Tucker knew he needed to go it alone.
GP did predict Musk was in an insupportable burn-out rate at Twitter.
I’m seeing Tucker hss a different game plan than Musk. Tucker is more like a less aggressive looking infowars. He seems to,want to do news media and publishing. Maybe do events and conventions for like-minded global politics observers.
The American way. Do it honestly and with integrity and I have no problem
Tucker is reputedly worth $30 meg. He isn’t going to starve.
Pretty sure it’s a lot more than that…5-10x, I’ve seen estimated.
There are at least five different sites I just checked for Carlson’s estimated net worth that matches exactly what Mycroft stated at $30M net worth.
$400m mycroft.
We celebrate the marketplace in America, as long as it stays willing buyer meets willing seller.
Not more teachers union forced indoctrination from the Democrat hive mind. That has been a very ugly chapter.
I too wish that ugly chapter… over.
Neither needs money. I’m going with wanting to be voices for saving this country, especially Tucker, until proven they are not.
Tucker is hedging his bets. Now he can appeal to the people who like Elon and those who don’t.
We need to care less about the messenger and more about the message.
He knows the danger of being totally reliant on a platform you do not control
Amen, and always speak the truth as you see it. God said “I am the way, the truth, and the light”.
God’s word always goes forth, so even if you only have one small kernel of truth in all your ravings, that kernel of truth will go forth.
Exactly. And that message needs to reach younger independents and wean them away from being pretend Democrats.
My fondest hope is that Tucker can cut into the fake news, including Faux. The less power the progressives have in the media the better for America.
He’ll be taking on Fox Naion.
Run by idiots. Going against the people is not an intelligent choice, and making no attempt to hide their support for the unethical and evil Dems and Rinos, and the farcical regime now destroying America, has a very limited chance of growth. IMHO.
Big Pharm has taken on Fox Nation. Why bother with it.
I think he will succeed. Fox made an idiotic decision when they fired Tucker. If he keeps on telling the truth how can he go wrong?
Tucker made the right decision when he quit.
In my line of work, I am constantly looking out for “unique” product features so that my customers can make differentiated products. The feature need not be a game changer, just different than my competition.
Telling the truth seems like a unique feature. Should be able to make some business there.
In normal times perhaps, but these are not normal times, and I believe that we may have invited the Pagan gods back to dwell amongst us. Take a good look at what has been going on as we speak. The Covid scam and the blind cooperation of the authorities for its implementation, Trump dysfunctional syndrome, abominational attacks against Jews, massive collegiate support for Hamas, and delusional concentration on abortions at any term, including at birth. The fomenting of lies from the Media, etc., etc. Oh, and let us not forget the dual system of justice promulgated almost daily. The stench of Evil is everywhere. Otherwise, have a nice day.
“There are six ways from Sunday”……Senator Smucker.
Especially Jake Tapper on CNN. What A Jerk.
Who, in the same position as Tucker would not leverage the visibility that X provides him in order to launch his own platform which also doubles as protection from X being shut down at a moment’s notice?
They use each other. Everyone wins.
Well that explains his Alex Jones interview! No doubt the Marxist lawyers are sharpening their pens!
The importance of people like Tucker and Alex Jones is blown way out of proportion to reality.
Lots of political junkies slobber all over their pants legs, and, it seems a bit embarrassing to me, but Joe 6-pack has no idea who either of them are.
Carlson said he hated Trump in 2020 and now he says being around politicians is repulsive. I take him at his word.
Alex Jones is a lunatic.
Under Oath TC admitted he hatted PDJT and people thought EM was a savior just a few years ago and those who think TC is some patriotic American will be fooled just like they were with EM.
Under oath??? Link to that?
He did say some bad things about President Trump. And he explained that he was hopping mad at him at the time.
Alex is not a lunatic and we are just beginning to realize that he has been dead on right about the Deep State and the globalists.
You gotta love those who never listen to Alex jones yet conclude publically he is a “lunatic”. Be proud of your ignorance
Alex Jones is no lunatic, but he does occasionally play one on the Internet.
Tucker, in his interview by Roseanne Barr, stated that he “became a Trump supporter when they raided Mara Lago.” It is a great interview:
https://rumble.com/v3yp15u-november-29-2023.html
You are not being frank.
“Alex Jones is a lunatic”
But does he speak the truth, and say what no one else will say?
If the past 10 years has taught anything, take everything in media with a grain (sometimes grate) of salt.
I think it’s also quite possible that his decision to create his own network, completely isolated from X, was just a business decision and/or a decision that he made after consulting with Musk.
As CTH has so eloquently stated, X is in real danger of bankruptcy. Musk needs advertising revenue to survive and the same powerful forces aligned against Trump are working to take down X.
I truly believe that Musk is a staunch supporter of the First Amendment, for the right reasons. He’s tweeted/liked/shared a message expressing the dangers of the Marxist Left/Globalist Elites, Deep State etc. In that context, I also believe Musk knows that the MSM is the enemy of the people and any hope of combating their propaganda/lies etc has to come from REAL NEWS.
Our side has plenty of news outlets covering events, the truth, our side etc online and only a couple of small networks on television. Both of which have nobody on their networks with the same skill, ability, reach, notoriety etc as Tucker. Tucker was THE star on the largest MSM news network. Tucker is THE star capable of headlining a network that will bury Fox News and potentially take down the Fake News/MSM outlets as a whole.
Propaganda, lies etc can’t survive if it’s challenged by facts, truth and logic delivered by a legendary journalist, fully unconstrained.
X is not going anywhere, it’s the Feds coffee shop where everyone hangs out.
If X goes under the Feds will buy it for a song and a dollar under the cover of some other big name.
I could see billboards all over the country with a picture of Tucker and a caption:
Come on…you’re on the computer half the day anyway. Just go to Tucker.com.
I agree with you, Rick.
This is a series of very wealthy individuals standing up, leveraging their own money, and protecting our Constitution.
If they did it under a single umbrella… less saturation. But independently… under their own small empires… they can cover more ground.
Yes, X (Twitter) could go down… but then they have to go after Rogan and Spotify, Patrick Bet-David and Spotify, Louder with Crowder, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Truth Social… Trump.
Yes, yes, yes… what we are seeing is wealthy putting their money where their freedom is… and God bless them all for it!
Incidentally, Elon Musk speaks AGAINST transhumanism and his neuralink is for traumatic brain injuries. If you would listen to 2 or 3 of the 3 hour Rogan podcasts, he speaks very clearly on it and the need for oversight so the advancements do not fall into the wrong hands… especially artificial intelligence. Just listen to him yourself and develop your opinions.
Musk has to work within heavily regulated confines with his space exploration, etc. He has to balance and mitigate risk, just like all the rest of us.
I subscribed to TCN to see what develops. So far I like what content Tucker has produced on his own (post Fox). Twitter provided a platform for him where he has been pretty blunt and unrestrained, so far. Taking SD’s word to be factual, that Tucker doesn’t “trust” Elon is (IMHO) indicative of Tucker’s maturing awareness of the complex evil at work behind legacy social media companies vis a vis their long-held relationships with the corrupt Deep State. Tucker knows Elon cannot guarantee what Elon cannot control. And Elon is evolving as a major player in politics simply because of the size and history of the Twitter platform. IMHO, no one yet knows for certain in which direction Elon might ultimately decide to move.
I too signed up yesterday. Looking forward to see and hear what he says BUT I will always support and “subscribe’ to the Conservative Treehouse. The yellow Donate button is hit a few times a year AND that will never stop. I will forever be a CTH first kinda gal — LOVE you Sundance and since I just sent Tucker $ it’s time to send to you also. I love sitting on a branch here and love all that the other Treeper’s have to share. TCT is the BEST site ever!!!
If Tucker is truly interested in reporting the truth regarding the deep state in DC, he should reach out to Sundance and schedule 3-4 episodes where Sundance (assuming he is interested) can share with the world.
No one understands the players and how the deep state work as well as Sundance.
$9/mo. here, $5/mo. there. It seems everyone is charging people to read their stuff.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything costs something. Time, energy, money… perhaps your soul.
The legacy newspapers, with all their advertising, cost something.
I’m willing to pay a truthful reporter. A ‘urinalist’ is a thief and a liar… A vagrant on their way to the poorhouse…
Real journalism is priceless.
Maybe you can better afford it than some of the rest of us can. But when you’re a senior citizen on disability you notice even a small amount like that. Good for you if you don’t have to worry about it, but I have to budget every cent!
I will never pay to listen to anyone…. Donate that’s another story
Fine. But know this is not sustainable for conservative outlets. It’s not 2019 anymore. Advertisers are boycotting our freedom to listen. To suggest you don’t have $72 to educate yourself to what like 10 outlets? $720 is like a months worth of gas. Our voices need funding, we need organization, takes resources.
Don’t need 10 outlets. CTH and Bannon do the job nicely.
I won’t pay Tucker. He nibbles around the edges. Just look at what SD has exposed over the years. Has he CHARGED for this information? I’m retired and in this economy I can’t give as much as I would like but what I can give, goes to SD. A true patriot and TRUTH teller….
You likely once paid for newspapers, magazines and news stations. This is just the latest evolution of media with the delivery service being the internet. Computer hardware, media equipment, space and talent to support this costs money and few people work for free.
I used to subscribe to several newspapers and many magazines.
I see nothing wrong with that model. Pay fro what you want.
The interweb has grossly distorted the market place giving away “free” content and now a larger % of us think everything out be free simply because we want it and I must confess the same desire…
I have been retired for over a decade but I’m going to have to generate additional income to survive and hve nice things. Thanks Jobama.
Thank you.
I never thought of it that
way.
Internet really is just a
different type of delivery.
Magazines and newspapers
are hard copies and internet is
just a different type of medium.
Magazines cover a particular
topic and the same applies to
internet content creators.
Goodness…. I even remember when
TV was free. And it cost an arm and
a leg to make a long distance call.
And at my Grandparents— they even
had a party line phone 📞
Times are changing.
😁
Where I once had a lot of them—
I no longer have magazine subscriptions.
You have given me some food
for thought 🤔🤔
I agree. I’m not faulting Tucker. But like you, we’re retirees and can only donate to so many places. Church and CTH are first on my list of recipients. From then on it’s eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Hmmm, but what if I don’t like them changing the words and story of the story I already “paid” for?
Now where did my copy go?
Used to be they delivered HARD copies and not “cloud”y articles that change as you read them.
I subscribe to quite a few Substack columns…at those levels of costs (that you suggested) per subscription. I donate to CTH monthly. I refuse to subscribe to any legacy newspapers or media because of their proven dishonesty.
I guess a person spends what they believe the content is worth. Independent citizen journalists who post content daily or who post long deeply researched articles aren’t doing this as a hobby. I know that most of the independent journalists on Substack DON’T have any income from ads (there aren’t any ads on that platform) so they are likely dependent on subscriptions for income. It’s probably preferable to have a known income level based on subscriptions s opposed to an unpredictable income due to people’s inability to donate consistently from month to month.
Those who post free content on platforms supported by Google hosted advertising are always at risk of being stripped of that income because of political opinions.
good talkers can always con someone. it’s the circle of life kitty.
It will be interesting to see if the Tucker Carlson Network remains a one-man operation or if he begins recruiting and assembling additional like-minded talent under his umbrella.
Second look at new addition Alex Jones? 😉
Much better to have Lou Dobbs.
Rather epic to have a front row seat to history. Run Tucker, run.
Both of these hacks just want money.
GTFOH.
I don’t think wanting money makes one a hack. By that standard everyone in Hollywood is one. I’ll admit many are.
Radioactive fallout is what these two grifters have to offer.
Sundance, thank you for sharing your insights. God bless and keep you and your loved ones safe. ❤️
Tucker can still be supportive of Musk’s efforts while simultaneously planning for the worst. That’s not being “two-faced,” that’s just being prepared. It’s better to own your own platform than rely on someone else’s.
Tuck and Musk are both fence walkers.
Does he still keep his severance payments from Foxcon TV?
So what services and money has Tucker made himself beholden to launch this venture? It will pretty much tell you his limits and/or his angle.
Well, why would you trust Musk? He has a leash from the communist party of China and the DoD. Guy likes making pacts with devils.
I hope Carlson and Musk don’t read some of the hateful condemning comments here or they might just decide to become democrats out of spite.
I believe it was Charlie Kirk that said today that he was hoping we could continue to show Elon the truth of our side to have him move our way. He has hope. So do I as I read how angry he is about Media Matters.
Can’t get pass the fact that Elon is beholden to China, bigly.
Elon is on record supporting Hillary and Obama in the past. He recently has espoused support for Meatball.
Tucker has said negative things about Trump under oath.
If any comments here were to change them to ‘Democrat,’ then that would just validate those comments and show a glaring display of shallowness on their part, and arguably unstable psychology.
Free speech and all that, just like they ‘support.’
VSGDJT has said nice things about democrats for years.
Shall we stone him?
Either way it will not make him any more or less Democrat than he already is.
Otherwise I am a little tired right now. Can we will hold off on that judgement and just stone him later when I feel like my arm is into it? 😛
Kewl
They ARE Democrats.
rinos at best
Well said!
Before anyone gets any wise ideas, I have already trademarked the phrase “Go. Tuck. Yourself.” T-shirts, mugs and an on line store to follow.
Are you telling the tucking truth?
lol.
That might mean something different to the trans folks
🤣 🤣 🤣
Ba dum, tsssh!
This may get you some death threats from “The LGBTQIA+ Community”… but go for it!!!
Isn’t Tucker doing just another Glenn Beck / ‘BlazeTV’ type version?
Perhaps without the manic, ego driven anti-Trump craziness that almost took down Blaze. Remember when Glenn stuck his face in cheetoh dust?
Yes. That’s when we went our separate ways.
When it comes “Truth Telling” – Tucker can’t pack Sundance’s lunch.
Sundance is in a whole category all by himself.
There is only one Sundance.
I have tuned in, or read articles/ books by the boatload from a myriad of folks.
I trust Sundance totally. There are very few people I can make that statement about.
Same here. Only place I’ve ever interacted with others because of that.
I’ll drink to that! 💯
So true. There is only one real truth teller. Sundance.
Fox News down, Tucker and Musk up = things moving in the right direction overall.
Many trolls. Sent by murdoch?
I noticed that too CNN_sucks! LOTS of trolls out today.
Trolls? Oh, you mean because they have a different opinion from yours? Whatever!
THIS is where Tucker Carlson is most effective, as a journalist/commentator/interviewer. His talents would be completely wasted as a lady-in-waiting VP. At this point in his life/career he hasn’t even begun to see how far he can go. Politics will always be there for you- when you are in your 60’s.
Tucker is setting himself up to be Trump’s new Press Corps.
Oh how I wish Americas anchor man could have been Trumps media man.
I see these interviews as similar to Joe Rogan’s one-on-ones of a wide range of guests. Rogan’s are too long, IMHO, but the format is great.
Everyone sits somewhere along a spectrum, from each of our perspectives.
Name me anyone else with comparable gravitas primarily involved in the media that you would prefer to see leading major media operations instead of Elon and Tucker. (Greenwald, Taibbi ?? Not in the same league, really.)
Two years ago, we effectively had NEITHER (Tucker under FOX’s thumb).
I’m grateful for both, even when they don’t score 100s.
Not becoming a conservative hive mind is good. That is exactly where it all needs to be, and reaching down and out to younger voices is the hope for this country’s future. Bring it on, all of them. Voters can sort this out on their own.
I signed up. Mainly to stick a knife into Faux news.
It is getting increasingly harder to know who to trust, isn’t it?
Here’s a Twitter (X) post from Amazing Polly:
In this graphic, she’s segmenting & aligning The New Alternative Media.
The segments are: Personalities; Cross Promotion; Rumble/Local Investors; Rumble Partners & Investors.
How many of those listed under ‘Personalities’ are just saying what we want to hear?
It may be amazing to think, but, perhaps Polly is just a personality.
All the news is made up. Some of it is true.
And, a quote from Peter Duke.
He’s not wrong, you know.
Sundance: was Tucker Carlson and his network part of your “thinking about the future” post you made a few weeks ago?
If you were to partner with anyone, Tucker would be the way to go. Best wishes.
Young risk-taking talent on the move. It is morning in America again.
Never trust
1). A media personality
2). A person whose company (s) were built on taxpayer money
That number two is a real concern… Solyndra comes to mind… Subsidies have their problems…
I believe Tucker is a straight shooter just from what he says, the way he says it, his logic, and his use of sources. I have followed him for a long time now. I have not yet gotten a high resolution read on Elon? I am not sure how the Musk’s thought processes, goals, and directions are going to play out… Everyone is found out sooner or later… He has a tough nut to crack with all the debt he has riding on his shoulders… unless he can find an even more creative way to grow the X following… and Tesla, I am not sure how that will progress into the future business arena?
Nothing profound, just some things to keep in mind:
1. The level of debt carried by X is not problematic to those on the hook for it. They can keep the platform open at will.
2. At will is a variable.
3. Tucker knows 1 and 2.
4. Tucker was on X as a means to avoid contractual obligations to Fud News.
It appears something is now different. Can you charge for content on X? I would not know.
5. CTH is many times more valuable than X or TCN.
The truth is this. Don’t care if it’s Tucker or Elon or whoever. If people don’t listen what does it gain except to us on this site. I’m older, the young could less who’s president. Even if we tell them the truth, most don’t listen. They all spoiled. They are not concerned right now about the Future. Sad, but they will one day.
Text them links at key instances. Particularly things that contradict their “reality”. It will form a framework for later thought processes. They won’t even realize you did it.
CET,
Agree on all 5. My concern is will Musk be able to grow the business with the existing market of users in order to pay off his debt. Or will he go back on his word and grow the business by nefarious means…
All Tesla’s transmit and receive data already. They’re connected. There is a fee attached. The Tesla autopilot system is currently transmitting video back to a $3 billion dollar supercomputer to perform machine learning so that the self driving systems can learn to drive. Elon has said they have had great difficulty because less than 5 percent of drivers fully stop at stop signs. They have to correct for that.
SpaceX launches satellites. Among the satellites are the constellation of Starlink.
At some point before long, handheld and/or vehicle mounted transceivers will be interacting with Starlink directly. You will never be out of range.
At that point, X will have direct voice and video links user to user. Quickly, YouTube like streaming will be deployed, iTunes will be outdated, and you wont need to use a cell phone in the car. Spotify, Sirius, none of them will be desirable. X will not be where you post, it will be your operating system. It will follow you inside.
With the ability to connect to the bank, well, the CBDC, you will pull in the drive thru line. Use the screen in your Tesla to enter the order. Your order will be checked by AI against your medical records and carbon allowance to validate your eligibility for those items. Then, you can pay by placing your right thumb on the biometric sensor on the screen, or just stare into it briefly.
At every step, Tesla will be the middle man, extracting their fee.
Every bit of this technology is in my left hand right now as I type with my right thumb.
Elon will vertically integrate all of it. Far more quickly than you might think. Profits and debt no longer matter. Not sure of the number, but I think it was 15 years before Amazon had a profitable quarter.
It’s not Tesla, X, or Starlink. It is the vertical integration of all. Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon are silly and trite by comparison.
I own a Ford F-250 Super Duty belching Diesel.
Still too many electronics and will only go older or crafted.
That could very well be what happens. You lay out a great plan. I do know from my experiences on the battlefield in Vietnam and from business that almost nothing goes as planned… You are right about the technology going vertical…
Too bad, not paying
Makes no difference to me on their feelings one way or the other. I don’t trust musk.. but I also have had issues with Tucker from time to time. To me the most important aspect to this is ‘expansion and diversification’ of those trying to bring truth. Having multiple outspoken networks competing and vying for attention and actively working to expose what’s going on, is better for us. We’ve seen how quick and easy it is for those in power to manipulate social media. The whole concept of an X product that does everything and delivers everything just puts all the eggs in one basket. It’s bad strategy.. period, and no different than only one airline, or only one auto company. Competition between networks will always be better for the consumers. More of this please..
Agree.
Does he or doesn’t he… That is a marketing tool used by media since the theatrical serials of “Flash Gordon”. I will expect Carlson to continue his brand of reporting, while occasionally taking a swipe at a big target. Stoessel is already doing something similar. Perhaps not as brash and “edgy”. But he has more experience and awards than Carlson.
IIWH, O would use his “star power” to sign other similar content producers in other countries to use his outlet in exchange for being his “reporter” there on a number of assignments per year. That would give him a network of Greenwalds covering each country and let him report on big stories as they balloon in signifficance, well ahead of other, more staid, outlets. The potential is significant.
Fox should sleep lightly.
Who, or what is “IIWH O”?
Will this be an opportunity for Sundance to have a spot on Tucker’s?
You got that backwards.
So Melania’s judgement could be as poor as DJT’s (for whom I will vote)? I am not a cult of personality person (except for Jesus, my Lord and Savior), let’s all be honest, DJT is not going to save the republic single-handedly. We need millions of people and many honest politicians to accomplish that.
I understand where Carlson stands, but in the end there is only right and wrong. Hopefully he will see it that way as well.
Tucker has an Assange story yet to be told.
recently tucker interviewed alex jones. said some high praise for his ability to predict the future..uncanny ability I think the words were. I’m not arguing alex jones isn’t quite capable of doing what others seemingly cannot or will not do. stick his neck out and say some pretty wild and outrageous things. At first your reaction is wow…hold up…what…wait a minute…but then there is a reveal to a larger scope and you realize the guy has been covering really hard hitting stories for a very long time…some yes, pretty strange, weird and well extraordinary…but he usually has a extraordinary amount of evidence even if it comes off as opinion…he’s well informed is what I am trying to get at.
and what does this have to do with the price of tea in china?
I want to point something out about this article and WHO WROTE IT.
SUNDANCE. He has for years now, been doing yeomans work developing these articles AND ALERTING ALL OF US TO TRUTHS IN FULL SUNLIGHT. HE IS WELL INFORMED AND BRILLIANT. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SUNDANCE IS WILLING TO TAKE A RISK AND BE DIFFERENT. TO DO WHAT OTHERS SEEM TO EITHER NOT WANT TO DO, OR JUST CAN’T. I HAVE SERIOUS RESPECT FOR THAT DEVOTION.
So, when I read this story, I set aside all my prior opinions about elon, about tucker, and just read and take it in with an open mind.
Sundance isn’t writing these articles to change the way we think, he is provoking us to make better informed decisions..and that process is how we change the manner in which “we think”.
It really is a different kind of journalism here, and we are very fortunate to have his leadership in this area to help us all as we seek to find truths and to locate reliable people who will be helpful to the cause of making america great again.
other than that, I have no opinion on the matter, I just wanted to note this so we are all aware of how important CTH really is.
Thank you Sundance for your continued efforts and steadfast integrity. It matters.
WE DO NOT FLINCH
God Bless America
Between Alex , Elon , Tucker, and Sundance, there is only one not acting in their own interest.
Excellent as always, Regitiger.
never thought of it in those exact terms, but, wow–it is exactly what a master teacher would do–stir the coals.
Thank you for your thoughts. Now go donate to Nikki.
This may be the first subscription service of this type I sign up for. We have some of the typical “cut the cord” streaming services like Netflix and Hulu and Sling. Which one should we remove and replace?
Where Mark plays the X video around the 6:00 minute mark Elon mentions that sunlight is the best disinfectant. Does he read the Treehouse? Inquiring minds and such.
