In my opinion, Tucker Carlson is no longer an option for the intellectually honest or stable-minded person. In the past several months as he has increased his anti-MAGA efforts Carlson and/or his production team have intensely avoided any guest who might challenge the outlandish nonsense he has been creating on his podcasts.
Occasionally CTH glances to see who Tucker is interviewing and generally check in on Carlson only to gain an understanding of the political network he represents. I find the dishonesty in his monologues now repellant. However, that said, President Trump Social Media Advisor Alex Bruesewitz stated he appeared on the Carlson podcast in order to finally push back against some of the malicious narratives the former Fox News host was promoting.
I watched to see how this ‘confrontation’ might unfold.
Alex Bruesewitz is a 29-year-old consultant who specializes in social media. He is reported to be the closest thing to a Charlie Kirk voice who intersects with the White House and President Trump directly to share Gen-Z policy perspectives. Thus, it would be interesting to finally see some reasonable confrontation with Tucker.
Unfortunately, this interview is deficient on pushback. It’s clear that Alex Bruesewitz is friends with Tucker Carlson and reluctant to firmly and appropriately challenge the falsehoods Carlson has been promoting. To be fair, Alex Bruesewitz did offer some gentle correction -key word ‘gentle‘- but allowed the majority of antagonistic Carlson points to remain unaddressed.
My takeaway from watching the entire podcast back and forth encapsulates into two main points:
♦ First, what Alex Bruesewitz says about the Israel-First funding mechanism behind the MAGA split is identical to my own research which I published in April. {GO DEEP} I did find this part of the conversation interesting, and due to the importance, I am also going to repost it below.
We need some kind of disclaimer or FARA-type notification when anyone in any media, traditional or social media, is taking payments from foreign sponsors or benefactors to promote a specific message.
The pro-Israel influence operations described by Bruesewitz, although factual and with clear evidence cited to support it, will likely infuriate the Laura Loomer, Mark Levin and like-minded groups of influencers.
I noted on Twitter, Mr. Bruesewitz may claim to be a friend of Loomer (he likely is), but Ms. Loomer will almost certainly attack him over the financial sunlight he discusses (regardless of its accuracy). Loomer, Shapiro and Levin are so far out on the pro-Israel limb, neither could respond with reasonable discussion. A few hours later and that prediction of anger surfaced strongly.
Video Prompted:
♦ Second point. Tucker Carlson is demonstrably positioning himself as part of the JD Vance support system for 2028. Both Tucker Carlson and JD Vance are personal friends. However, when Tucker went full anti-Trump, his son Buckley needed to resign from his position in the JD Vance office due to the severity of his father’s antagonism against the President.
The way the conversation unfolded, and the specific nuances within it, highlight to me that Alex Bruesewitz is now positioning for his future interests. Meaning there is a purpose for Bruesewitz to lean forward supporting JD Vance, while thinking about the future after President Donald Trump. Together Tucker and Alex are clearly part of Team Vance.
Perhaps that explains why Bruesewitz let “his friend” Tucker get away with way too much spin – too much strained, outlandish, narrative stuff in this interview. Stuff that was ridiculous and should have been aggressively (if needed) confronted.
Having said that, the step toward JD Vance is not necessarily a negative. Alex is aligned with Trump and is still aligned with Trump. Only now, for whatever reason, his support of President Trump becomes less authentic while he is positioning for his future self – and simultaneously retaining alignment with Trump overall.
That’s my primary takeaway. Both Tucker Carlson and Alex Bruesewitz are supporting JD Vance.
On the first point about the 2025 influencer payments, CTH originally outlined this issue in April of this year. I am reposting below as Mr Bruesewitz seems to confirm the major elements of what has led to the MAGA division.
Back in 2015/2016 The Salem Media Group, like -the whole crew- the Evangelical right per se’, was essentially against Donald Trump a republican candidate. Trump wasn’t religious enough, and Salem was/is VERY pro-Israel. A very strong evangelical tribe.
Salem Media Inc supported Ted Cruz (mostly), they also really liked Scott Walker (and similar). Milquetoast varieties of Republican. You know the sort. {2015 citation}
Breitbart (Robert and Rebekah Mercer) and the strong pro-Israel group (Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, etc.) also supported Ted Cruz (Jeff Roe and company).
Almost no one directly supported Trump. You know that, and you know the outcome of it.
That environment led to tons of eventual jump-overs, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, etc. when Trump became the “presumptive” nominee. Hey, they go where the $$ flows. Then Mark Levin followed reluctantly, and eventually the Salem crew bit their tongue, overcame the “grab em by the pussy” nonsense and joined the pragmatic MAGA coalition.
Now, you might also remember the name Brad Parscale, an online tech guy who was datamining Facebook and microtargeting for Trump support. That led to a controversy called “Cambridge Analytica” after the unexpected Trump win and the leftists crying foul about the online support that defeated their aggressive corporate media ploys.
That’s the core. We agree?
Okay. Fast forward. Donald Trump held a loose coalition, which included the Salem tribe (which included a now bigger TPU$A, Charlie Kirk et al) which included the high-horse Evangelicals, only now they were more firm horse riders.
Brad Parscale (pictured right in 2016) was later hired by Salem Media Inc as their strategic operations director (current position).
No longer connected to the Trump team, yet quasi-supporting the objectives of the Trump administration, Mr Brad Parscale takes money from the pro-Israel group, files FARA registration forms and goes back to his tech skillset to shape and influence politics; except now, a decade later, tech micro-targeting is big time algorithmic control systems.
Salem Media Inc. still in alignment with their Evangelical roots, plus a new addition from Trump world (Lara Trump and Don Jr.) each with a foot in the Salem operation, and Brad Parscale promoting the pro-Israel Evangelical mission with unbelievable tools thanks to modern tech, artificial intelligence, datamining and algorithmic data operations on social media platforms.
Then comes billionaires Larry and David Ellison, also very pro-Israel, in combination with Salem Media Inc. operated by Parscale, and the ideological alignment of Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer etc., taking algorithmic AI and Evangelical data targeting to new stratospheric levels.
Which brings us through 2025 and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu noting in his influencer meetup that the Tik Tok and X platform were the two most important strategic operations of interest. This was shortly after the warning about diminished GenX support from Charlie Kirk. {Citation and Video}
Subsequently, Larry Ellison (Oracle) takes control of Tik Tok (GenZ), while his ally Elon Musk (under the guise of free speech) is controlling X.
All of the above come into a deep, collaborative, pro-Israel synergy.
That’s not a conspiracy; it is simply the reality of political targeting and influence in the year 2026.
That’s the current landscape.
That seems to be what we are witnessing online, perhaps in our data profiles, and more than likely in our algorithmically controlled online travels. Our identity as defined by our data and pixels implanted into our profiles that can be targeted to feed us specific information and content.
Algorithmic support operations, also using money to shift the visibility of support (or lack therein), is why “X” and other platform content providers, don’t always align with reality you see offline and/or polling that shows consistent support for Donald Trump amid the MAGA base.
The narratives are not organic, often they are divisive. However, most users outside the control system can’t distinguish the content that is being targeted toward them.
I hope that somewhat helps see through the friction.
Most of us have supported Trump throughout his endeavors in office, trusting him to do what needed to be done, and using his best judgement on whatever the issue was while understanding that he has much more information than us. This still applies today.
This doesn’t mean that President Trump can see everything or has immediate reference for everything happening. An example in April was JD Vance telling an audience in Europe he had no idea Zelenskyy had threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The administration -which includes both President Trump and VP Vance- are focused on the issues confronting them daily; they have a priority policy perspective, and they cannot see everything.
We trust God, and we pray for President Trump. Ultimately, I believe the 2028 nominee cannot succeed without President Trump’s endorsement, regardless of how much so-called ‘influencers’ try to position the race.
One thing I note from the meme above is that either way Big Tech seems to win the race.
Rubio 2028
That’s kinda how I am leaning too, at this moment, but I can’t see a clear political pathway to that outcome.
I believe Trump will eventually endorse Rubio .
I can’t see him wanting JD as his successor.
Trump likes to play head games.
He is pitting one against the other for maximum effort by both.

not rubio..but Tulsi wth someone else… marco should be busy take down globalist nerwork/restore after 35 yrs our relationship with Russia….
Rubio/Tulsi
We wish Tulsi and her husband well.
That was devastating news about her husband.
It was right for her to step down and be with her husband.
Prayers for Tulsi and her husband.
There’s the ticket!
But……..I would not be against Tulsi as President either….
Rubio has come a long way!
not marco …tulsi with someone else..
Crash and burn.
Down in flames.
I am not sure that would be bad, but I strongly favor Devin Nunes. OUR problem as conservatives (or MAGA) has always been in making sure the people who say they are on our side really are. Nunes is the only one we could say has been tested close to as hard as Trump has. In Trump’s first term, Nunes is the one who came out and said the Russian Collusion story was baseless, and thereby prevented Trump from being removed from office. There were quite a few GOP senators who wanted him gone, but they could not get away with convicting him when the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee was saying publicly that there was no real evidence of the charges.
And Nunes paid for that. He was suspended from the Intelligence Committee and had his security clearance revoked.
gotta say too, Devin Nunes’ demonstrated loyalty is a Giant Plus for me too.
If he has ambitions, I am for him.
Vance was anti-Trump. I guessed Vance saw PDJT up close and changed his mind … instead … it is becoming clear, President Trump is keeping his “enemy” close.
JD isn’t really on board with MAGA ….
explain…
Yup! Rubio on the 3rd horse would guarantee globlaist trifecta.
Rubio has no globalist backers.
He does have lots of globalist enemies.
Rubio has come a long way since the gang of eight amnesty.
I never thought I would ever want Rubio as Trump’s successor.
That is who we want!
Rubio 2028!
No JD on the ticket, even if his ego could handle being a VP again.
Reading your post Sundance there’s nothing that made me want to suffer Tucker or the other guy. Have a good night.
Not sure that choosing to close your eyes and ears is something to be proud of.
Oh come on, if the fake MAGA guy is not going to push back on Tucker than why bother.
We live in a world where Trump can’t gets his agenda passed because of traitors like Thune so why waste our time listening to people who are not ready for battle.
I agree with jayne and Common Sense. Both bc I don’t want to waste my time and peace on Cucker Traitorson BS and more so to deny him the clicks. I downvote virtually everything he posts. He is a slave to ratings and algorithms. If his numbers go down, he’ll shift his spin or auger in. Either’s fine.
I feel compelled to paraphrase Paul’s questioning of the Galatian church when they went off the rails over non-salvational issues: “Oh foolish Tucker: Who has bewitched you?”
Who has bewitched you is a good question to pose to Tucker. He doesn’t sound like he’s thinking for himself.
IMO, Tucker has always been a little squirrely.
Agreed 👍💯 his hysterical laugh is not only irritating it’s a sign of instability to
This is all very interesting, and almost certainly important; however in my case I find it essentially academic.
I have ZERO interest in social media. I don’t consider myself anti-social, but maybe some think otherwise if I don’t ‘friend’ them.
“When you have civilized men fighting savages, you support the civilized men…. Israel is the only country based on the protection of individual rights in the entire Middle East.”- Ayn Rand
I much prefer Israel’s form of government over Islamotheocracy. But it is little of my business how other countries govern themselves, so if Israel wants to remain our trusted partner then they need to act the part.
I find myself increasingly cynical about everyone these days and generally assume ulterior motives for almost all positions taken by anyone in the political landscape. Somehow, this makes it much easier for me to disengage from all of the noise and to instead focus on my own family, my own health, and my own spiritual growth, all of which are far better uses of my time than getting high blood pressure and being perpetually angry…
Conservative Treehouse is one of the few sites that I still visit on a regular basis and I feel like I am probably better informed than most, without the constant manipulation of those who tune into political podcasts and either FAUX or MSNOW 24/7 and are living and breathing conspiracy theories and constant outrage! YMMV but that’s where I am at these days!
Good evening vikingmom. I am on the same branch. 😉
Truth! Vikingmom, I’ll row with you anytime!
Live your best life.
Why?
It’s our culture, our civilization that’s under attack.
Color revolutions don’t work if we the people ignore them.
“Nothing needs to be eaten as hot as it’s cooked”, as my mom used to say.
Ditto
In general I fall into the same camp.
Is it all theater? Bread and circuses for the masses! Taking a step back gives perspective. Getting facts with logical discussion versus sway and theatrics helps clear the mud.
Isn’t the Israel spending in response to the success of Qatar in propagating the Hamas narrative and buying off conservatives:
Sundance 18 June 2025 Qatar -vs- Israel, The American Political Battle for Influence
eg Team Qatar Tucker, Team Israel Levin
I’ve never seen one iota of evidence that Qatar is paying off conservatives in the US. I know that they are not paying off Tucker.
Tucker is an anti semite for free? I don’t think so. That Qatar Venmo hit.
..I do not believe Tucker is…antiseptic…
Tucker bought an $18,000,000.00 mansion in Quatar.
A Prince from quatar paid TCN $52,000,000.00 to start his podcast.
Tucker will collect his Fox salary for 5 more years.
What is the address? I’d like to look it up in mapping street-view.
With a touch of mischief.
Did Tucker receive a Boeing 747-8 from Qatar? As a thank-you or in exchange for something?
https://www.thepricer.org/how-much-does-the-boeing-747-8-cost/
Where can we find evidence of Qatar’s funding of Tucker?
Is it sourced, verifiable documentation, or just hearsay from anonymous sources?
How do you know that?
Don’t have receipts for that, but wouldn’t surprise me since I did see how Hamas + the “Palestinians” wiped the social media floor clean with Israel during/after the war. That’s just straight-up facts, as the kids say.
As an Evangelical Christian, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem because that is what God’s Word asks me to do. I believe in the Sovereignty of Israel as a country, but that does not mean I have to defend their corrupt political parties just as I do not defend the corruption of our own political parties. At one of President Trump’s last rallies, he asked the audience if he should run again for President and would they vote for him. After Trump is successful in exposing Dominion’s machines and changing how we vote with the Save Act for the midterms, Maga will have a clearer idea who is running for President in 2029..
More than anything I don’t want bloody GOP competition in 2028. I want all sights aimed precisely on defeating the islamocommies.
The professional GOP’s purpose for the 2028 election is to cause so much friction and splitting amongst Republicans and MAGAs that the Globalist Appointed One has the opportunity to be cheated into position to undo all that has been done in these 4 years of Trump.
This is in opposition to MAGAs’ perspective that you have clearly stated.
🎯
There is too much money flowing around.
Most of the beneficiaries still have their hands out and their pockets full.

I have never been a twitter critter, facebooker, snapchatter, or any other nitwitgram…I read, I pay attention, and I talk to folks…
I will say I have been very impressed with Rubio…
And yes I am old…
Same here.
Don’t need facebook, twitter, etc.
Teeeveee stays off most of the time, too.
Sometimes, a little Jesse Watters –and then over to Greg Kelley.
That’s it.
try moonofalabama.org and pronews.gr..english version…
I value Tucker, believe Candace, and trust Baron Coleman.
Go ahead, hate on me.
Pity is what we have for you.
I am not a familiar with all three of these people. I laughed when I read your reply.
jane..jane cool down your heels…you should listen both sides and than make up your mind…..
..who?
Coleman. Child actor from the 80s sitcom, “Different Strokes.”
😉
No time to hate for suckers.
Candace is nuts.
Never heard of “Coleman”.
A quick inquiry brought this up regarding “Coleman”.
“He dropped this video last night, and with just the available photos convinced me that Charlie Kirk was electrocuted through his microphone.”
WoW!
Electrocution? That’s creative.
Koo-Koo for Coconuts!
Tucker grifts but is not a grifter, per se.
Candace is a grifter.
Baron is a strategic and aligned investor and independent critical thinker, whom I hope stays out of the public spotlight because of the numerous murderous malefactors running amok. No hating from me.
Tucker is just like many journalists: a two-faced actor with ties to the intelligence Community. He pretended to support President Trump while at Fox but ranted in private about how much he hated Trump. Those leaked text messages should forever disqualify him from being trusted to tell others what to think or do. His goal is simple: pretend to be on our side while secretly working to divide and defeat MAGA. It’s called a Splitter Strategy. Our enemies have deep pockets and no morals and they have armies of paid shills.
They don’t call it, “television programming” for nothin’!
We used to watch Tucker, religiously!
Looking back on my /my family’s constant viewership, I am aghast!
With that retrospective, I have gotten to where I just don’t trust anything on teeevee.
Jesse Watters is entertaining and Greg Kelly seems authentic and usually has something different than the other talkers; not the same repeated slobber from the previous news shows.
It’s still a free country.
However, of late, I have to question your choice where Tucker and Candace are concerned.
I have no idea who Baron Coleman is. Did a very quick look, sounds like he’s a bomb thrower.
Baron Coleman has been doing great work. He will be a big name in the very near future.
I had to look up Alex Bruesewitz since I had never heard of him before. He may be some kind of informal advisor to President Trump on some things, but he is not a member of the administration and never has been. He has his own career and interests, so failing to confront Carlson as strongly as he might have is probably not that much of an issue.
With the way Carlson has been speaking and acting these last few months, I don’t see how anyone with a strong connection to President Trump can still be on friendly terms with him. And that includes JD, if in fact JD hasn’t also distanced himself. But if JD hasn’t distanced himself, and to a considerable degree, then I will have trouble with the idea of him being the nominee in 2028. To me, Carlson has made himself irredeemable and no one in the administration should be going anywhere near him.
You need the support of billionaires to win the presidency. Unless or until the Supreme Court’s “Citizen United” ruling is overturned, that will remain the case. Even Trump, a billionaire himself, needed the backing of other billionaires.
So the only question is which billionaires do you find acceptable and which ones unacceptable. Thiel has supported a lot of Republicans over the years, with both money and endorsements. Among them was a certain Donald J Trump in 2016. If you look at him compared to Ellison, Thiel is the America First guy and Ellison the Israel First one.
So no, given that Vance needs some billionaire backing him, I don’t find it damaging that Thiel is the one he is aligned with.
One difference. Trump has been thinking of this for 40 years. JD is an invention, an illusion, a nobody with a bit in his mouth waiting for someone to pull the right or left reign.
“Billionaires” don’t need “Citizens United”. From Buckley v Valeo we know that money is speech so billionaires are free to spend as long as they don’t coordinate with campaigns.
Can we please repeal Citizens United….
This will be only the second time I’ve disagreed with Sundance. The first time was footnote 8 of the Carter Page FISA Warrant Application. James Baker and the DOJ broke the laws regarding masking to conceal Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS and Hillary Clinton from the equation. Proof that the FBI & DOJ conspired to affect the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Election.
That said, I don’t see Tucker Carlson as intellectually dishonest. The controlling idea of all his criticism constellates around government office holders’ duty of undivided loyalty to the United States.
Good post.
100%
If your assumption is that Cucker is agnostic to truth, merely serving his masters, $$$ and ratings, then he’s not dishonest, but not honest either. Don’t be deceived that it’s anything else.
Truth is the agreement between knowledge and its object. When knowledge and object fail to agree, Tucker points it out in lieu of parroting accepted narrative. I’d say that makes him a disciple of truth.
While he takes QATARI money, he stands up for undivided loyalty to the US?
Sure, you keep telling yourself this.
The statement “he takes QATARI money” is as grounded in reality and as truthful as “Donald Trump is a Russian agent.”
Only in your mind Bob…
https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/tucker-carlson-home-purchase-qatar-outrage/
So what? He liked Hungary as well. The fact that he’d buy a home in either country doesn’t necessitate that he took money from either.
Yeah sure, Americans are buying up homes in Qatar by the day.
He is definitely funded by them and the timing is undeniable, but continue being an ostrich.
And ask yourself why Tucker would have a problem going after the world’s greatest sponsor of terrorism that has killed numerous Americans over the years. Iran that has terrorized the entire Middle East for years and is run by fanatical Mullahs who dream about having a nuclear weapon to use against America and other countries to continue their reign of terror.
How is this not America First when Tucker supported the first Iraq wars with no problems…He has changed and you may think him wanting to buy a home in Qatar has no connection but most reasonable people disagree.
Qatar of all places… Hungary sounds reasonable.
I don’t see Tucker Carlson as intellectually dishonest either. I’ve spent a lot of time watching Tucker over the years, especially when his show was on FOX every evening. I thought he at least addressed stories like the manufactured lies of Covid that others wouldn’t touch.
I’ve also watched/listened to Mark Levin going back to his radio show and guest appearances on Rush Limbaugh. I’ve always known that Mark Levin would take the side of Israel in everything. That being said, I like both of them. That doesn’t mean that I always agree with them. Mark Levin is at his best when analyzing the Constitution.
Israel is a friend and ally. But does Israel have too much influence over the US Congress? I think Tucker and Thomas Massie are right about that.
Also, Tucker begged President Trump not to start the Iran war. I think he was right about that too. Bibi Netanyahu probably would have gone it alone and I think Trump thought he could help and it would be over within 30 days, possibly with a regime change. It hasn’t worked out that way and it doesn’t seem to have helped anything in the region. Moreover, it has shown the world the limits of our military power. I understand why we are involved in Iran, but I’m not sure Trump knows how to get out. The Iranians are certainly not cooperating in making peace. At this point, the Iranians may not have full control of the SofH, but neither do we. It appears that many ships will simply pay the toll, which is a partial victory for Iran.
I still wonder what turned Tucker Carlson. I’m sure his abrupt separation from Fox News was jarring, but he’s not hurting for $$$. But, did he get divorced, new wife / girlfriend? What turned him against Trump?
Oh, I didn’t know that he had divorced. They may have something to with him changing. I don’t listen to him anymore. I don’t trust most of what he has to say.
PTrump did. He has become a neocon meddling everywhere. I believed that he would end America being the world’s cop. Instead he is done the opposite, all around the globe. Besides actual warfare, he has saber rattled, kidnapped a foreign leader, blown up boats instead of interdicting them legally, and threatened Canada, Cuba, and Greenland. While I am supportive of the Donroe Doctrine in theory, how he has executed it has been a joke.
Truth is he was never for President Trump. Don’t believe me. Check out his earlier years when President Trump was campaigning in 2016. For some reason, he buddied up but I think it was more Musk/Bonjino kind of thing.
war 2025 and war2026……
Remember his “on air crush” on Tulsi Gabbard?
Tucker is a chameleon, similar to Joe Rogan. They change their outlook depending upon whom is standing in front of them. They should never be trusted.
That can also be said of JD btw.
None of this will matter in 2028, you will either have a useless republican in charge or you will have a batshit crazy Democrat.
Pick your poison.
I choose neither.
By the way everyone was saying this in 2014-15 as well.

In the deposition in NY he admitted he hates PDJT and people think Tuck Tuck is a conservative or republican or an America first individual ?

😉
Tucker Carlson is 100% correct on the ill-advised Iran adventurism for the benefit of Israel. His stance is 100% America First. He did not fall for AIPAC’s laughable excuse that the US was going to be subjected to a barrage of nukes.
He is being alinsky-ed by the worst elements. Anyone who dogpiles should turn in their America First membership card. Just because he is criticizing POTUS for his awful decision should NOT mean that he should be marginalized. Just the opposite … his courage should be applauded.
I fear for the future of the America First movement. Too many adherents are Trump idolators and not true to the principles.
How Free Speech-y of you America First you. 🙄🤣
How is criticizing alinsky types being against Free Speech? You whiffed.
The comment section is Trump first not America First.
You nailed it 100%
you’re welcome,
Pogo
Your blather smacks of projection. Or you’re just that suggestible.
Tucker alinsky-ed himself, and so did you just now saying Iran was an ill-advised adventurism for Israel.
Like calling Trump too stupid to make national security decisions for himself.
Does it take courage to always blame the Jews?
Bless your heart!
I’m assuming every country in the world has at least one lobbyist on DC. Not to mention corporations, special interests, etc..
THOUSANDS of lobbyist all looking for money, weapons, favors, you name it. Israel’s just one of the horde. Are they better at it?
Maybe. I don’t care, I don’t blame them for trying.
I blame the spineless money grabbing lying sh*tstains we send to DC to represent us & just before they pass thru the
capital door they turn & give us the finger. The fault lies with congress. They fought for those seats, than betrayed us, while smiling. It’s disgusting.
Every rep under ___’s control at some point, had a choice. They freely made it. Our anger is a result of their corruption.
And before anyone starts, no, I could care less about Israel. Don’t like ’em. Don’t hate ’em. They’re just there. Like Burkina, or
Laos.
If they have an oversized influence on our gov’t. How did that happen? Couldn’t Paraguay try the same tactics?
Now I need a drink, damn it.
Didn’t israel threaten the use of nuclear weapons during the yom Kippur war to force the US to resupply them? That goes slightly above lobbying.
First I’ve heard of that. Who were they going to nuke? The attacking arabs?.. NYC?
Who doesn’t love a good threat?
Didn’t China threaten to cut off our medical supplies during Covid?
Didn’t Iran threaten to close Hormuz for the 100th time?
Aren’t the Europeans threatening to start WWIII using Ukraine to relieve political pressure at home?
Is North Korea still firing missiles over everyones heads, Why, who know, just threatening.
Aren’t our own scientists threatening extinction if we don’t go back to living in caves?
But never mind all that…those damn Jews…
Feel free to add to the list.
Jews are fine however my thoughts on the state seem to differ from yours. Did you get that drink?

The name presstitutes was coined for a reason IMHO
The usage of the term “presstitute” (“media manipulation” is still the more common) elevated with the raise of the “Tea Party” movement due to the grow of digital media platforms, which allowed critics to challenge mainstream narratives outside traditional gatekeeping structures.
Remember the double standard in the mainstream media’s hostile coverage of the Tea Party versus sympathetic portrayals of Occupy Wall Street or alternative media critiques of coverage surrounding the Benghazi attack on 9/1212.

Tucker lost me forever. He will never win my trust back.
Alex Bruesewitz has friends on many sides of the past coalition that brought victory for Trump. I hope he can be the gluon that holds the America First coalition together for 2028.
I don’t think he is trying to “win you back” and I do not think he is even truly aware of you. He is based and not MIGA.
you’re welcome,

He’s lost everyone but the Islamists and Communists. I’ll leave it there.
I am a stable-minded person and I respectfully disagree with you.
you’re welcome,
Pogo
Tucker looks a little rough around the edges.
“ In my opinion, Tucker Carlson is no longer an option for the intellectually honest or stable-minded person.”
I came to this very same conclusion a couple of months ago after nearly two years of following Tucker via his exclusive website. I found myself leaving too many interview videos long before they ended, and leaving some only minutes after they began. Then I stopped visiting altogether as I found Tucker’s choices of guests increasingly bizarre and questionable.
Some Treepers may recall that I was once a steady defender of TC’s interviews after he departed from Fox and seemed destined to maximize his editorial freedom for a worthy and pro-MAGA, pro-America cause.
But my optimism turned out to be short-lived. Tucker succumbed to the eventual irrationality that rampant unchecked narcissism usually entails.
R.I.P. Intelligent Tucker. You did good but then tossed it all away in favor of pursuing some crazed extreme version of “unbiased” that’s actually badly biased.
Bravo! Thank you…
Sundance, thanks for the info and the analysis. I’m glad to see my anti-MAGA radar works about 100% of the time. I have never liked Cucker Carlson even at the height of his popularity on Faux News. Cucker has lifted his skirt and showed the world his dirty stinky Uniparty p@ssy multiple times over the years which should have been huge red flags, too bad many people were’t really paying attention. However, it was his treatment of Sidney Powel on his Fox News show during the 2020 election steal that made me put Cucker in the “completely ignore box” permanently.
I am not super familiar with Alex Bruesewitz but have seen a few YouTube vids of him. He is a better debater than what he did with Cucker. So that means Trump has another “Lukewarm” douche in his inner circle. Trump should remember what Jesus said about being lukewarm. Trump needs far more Stephen Millers and much less or no Alex Bruesewitzs fighting his battles with these propagandists.
Trump is fighting a horrific multiple-fronted battle for our nation. We need to be constantly praying for that man and his team. Praying that God gives him and the team the wisdom, knowledge, understanding and skill to govern this nation. Praying that the back-stabbing quislings are weeded out of his circle of influence. Praying for his health and protection.
Also don’t forget to pray and forgive our enemies (and sadly many of our fellow countrymen are our enemies). You can pray for them and forgive them without being ideologically aligned with them. Remember Jesus said if you do not forgive others their sins, God will not forgive your sins. The Apostle Paul quoting Proverbs said “If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.” Only strict obedience to God’s word and Prayer are going to win this battle.
The use of, “douche” and praying for one’s enemies…in the same diatribe?
Only Whitney Houston has more “range.”
I forgive you
Tucker has lost me. Still have to figure out how to “unsubscribe” so that he does not one nickel from me.
Still remember in the way back machine, where Tucker had a guest on air who claimed he gave Pres O bl#w jobs. That to me was better than what he is “reporting” now.
I think it is a “Doors” song, with the lyrics, about being strange. And that people get ugly. That’s Tucker.
Another great song from that era
Memo from Turner, from the soundtrack of Performance, starring Mick Jagger and others.
The revolution will not be on TV
Larry Sinclair?? Was that it? He’s been telling that story for a long time..
Replace the ? jock with Marco Rubio. Let him make a showing, run with Vance as VP, or continue as Sec. of State under Vance until it’s his turn.
2028 is Vance’s race to lose in a disheveled primary or against a voting system that still hasn’t been cleaned up. He should win walking away in any semblance of a clean election.
So above all other things, the DSA is anti-Israel. They will remove any communist or socialist who is neutral or worse on Israel.
Looks like everyone is turning on Israel.
Not everyone.

2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
Location, Location, Location!
Tucker has been consistently anti-war and broke with Trump over the Iran war. CTH has been pro-war when it comes to Iran.
JD Vance is definitely big tech. I agree that MAGA candidate should be against, but President Trump represents no meaningful opposition to big tech.
Tucker hated Trump long before the Iran War. The released emails showed that.
I think Sundance has presented a fair-minded take on the scene and the players. I don’t know where I would fit in when ‘grouping’ MAGA or Trump supporters, but I was a Cruz supporter based on my belief that he was serious about the Constitution, which at that time Trump showed little sign of being interested in: I am a John Locke conservative, and I have usually supported Israel except some actions of Ariel Sharon, a PM from some decades back, who I think deliberately engineered a massacre in Palestinian camps in Lebanon carried out by Christian militias, and also I think went out of his way to stir up a Palestinian intifada to help him win the Prime Minister’s job, but easily get tired of Mark Levin’s constant prioritization of Israel compared to other issues we face. I am a believing Christian, but not a ‘Biblical inerrancy’ guy, so I don’t think the injunction to ‘protect the Jews’ which came from a Persian King (Xerxes) has the same weight as the instructions from Jesus. BUT I think Israel has been as humane as possible in dealing with a large population who usually do seem ready to support the murder of every Israeli, that earns my respect on a purely humanitarian basis, something the terrorists have completely ignored all along. I cannot in the slightest respect people who claim that Israel has even come close to the same degree of barbarity.
Economic freedom and good sense has also always been important to me, even though I have never had any money nor owned a penny of stock or any bond. I am very put off when I see ads that want to me to click to see what my budget should be if I have an estate worth $1 Million. I end nearly every month with an estate of 1 or 2 dollars. I understand what Trump is trying to do, so I agree that preventing WW III is easily important enough to justify what Trump is doing. Iran was supposed to be conquering Saudi Arabia over the last winter, with forces from Assad’s Syria driving into northern Saudi Arabia through Jordan or Iraq (mostly Shiite) into Kuwait and the Saudi oilfields while Iranians flowed in toward Mecca and Riyadh from Yemen. (and that plan was why the Saudis funded the revolt against Assad in the first place, over two decades ago. I knew Trump understood what I did when the first foreign-policy event during the 2nd Trump term was the sudden fall of the Assad regime before Trump even was sworn in.
The conquest of Saudi Arabia and the small Gulf oil states would mean that Putin and Iran, between them, would be able to dictate to Europe, India, and Japan that they stay out of the way as Putin and Xi went after what they want, which does not end with Ukraine and Taiwan. I think the plan also may have envisioned the United States being in a state of disorder, because I think they thought Trump would be defeated by massive cheating. The easiest thing in the world to imagine is Biden or Kamala deciding that war in three places was a good excuse to not do anything overseas but just concentrate on the ‘white-supremacist insurrection’ at home.
As someone not having any beef in America’s internal politics (not a citizen and send back my green card years ago, never voted either even though I had the chance to in CA;) and even got called up for jury duty, never went) but an avid follower of CTH for many moons as a constantly reliable source on US affairs, it is maddening to see how public opinion is purposefully manipulated to the 9th degree these days. On the one hand information is more readily available than ever, on the other hand we are indeed, as mentioned in the article, siloed into having a certain opinion (confirmed from all different angles of course through the algorithm). This also makes censorship/control easier, common nowadays is the complete omission of certain information in the MSM that is detrimental to the interest of the big club that we are not a part of.
My point being that this constant confirmation bias makes people more entrenched in their positions.
Reasonable discussions over matters that concern every tax paying citizen (in Europe as well) regarding (illegal) immigration, fraud of social services, ‘climate change’ and Islam are no longer possible, proven arguments dismissed and people deplatformed.
I dare say that it has become a matter of belief to a religious level, especially on the left and other profiting parties.
That being the case, I’m afraid that finding a middle ground will be impossible without serious consequences (social unrest, uprising and worse) across for Western societies.
I don’t think that non-Jews will ever understand the emotion that Jews have for Israel and its continued existence. The idea of Israel is to Jews as the idea of Jesus Christ is to Christians. You can be American and fervent about Jesus at the same time. You can be American and fervent about Israel at the same time. Understand what Israel actually means to Jews.
3,000 years of hate and attempted genocide of the Jews puts them in a position to be maybe a little paranoid about much of the world and it’s continuing attempt to destroy Israel.
Rubio for POTUS in ’28. Let him choose his VP, but I wouldn’t object if Vance were his choice.
“One thing I note from the meme above is that either way Big Tech seems to win the race.”
Money talks….fill in the blank __________.
The key word is “seems“.
We will soon will see if MAGA patriots can still be fooled by the like of Vance, de Santis and Rubio.
MAGA, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT
I was a subscriber to Tucker’s network and watched regularly. By mid 2025 I was starting to avoid watching any of his podcasts and by fall of 2025 I cancelled my subscription.
I have stopped watching any podcasts – Megan Kelly, Loomer, Shawn Ryan (these were the ones I watched intermittently) . I just can’t watch any of them. While I’m not anti-Israel, I question Bibi’s motives and action. That started with Oct 7th where it took the Israeli military 5 to 7 hours to respond. None of that made any sense to me. There was something off/odd about it.
That was what started my opinion to change regarding Bibi. I still support Israel but what I see with the Loomer, Levin,sharipo crowd is they are Israel first, America 2nd. What I see with the Tucker, Megan Kelly, Shawn Ryan crowd is a pro Islamist slant and that Israel is wrong always. I will never support people who are pro Islamist. They have become so disingenuous they are not believable.
Live from DC With The President – YouTube–Lance Wallnau on Tucker, Candace & MeAgain, etc:
1 John 2
19 They went out from us, but they were not really part of us. If they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. But by going out from us, they showed they all are not part of us.
Seems to me that Tucker’s support would be a drag on a Vance campaign…
It is all an illusion. A Vance campaign would be a drag on America – if so instructed and rewarded Tucker would be happy to provide as much ballast as possible.
excellent overview
LOL. “No coverup” with the Epstein files. Like hell there wasn’t and I am NOT saying that has anything to do with a Trump vulnerability.
Have all Epstein files possessed by all US federal agencies including the CIA been released?
No, not all Epstein files from all US federal agencies, including the CIA, have been released.
DOJ Releases Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act
The Epstein Files Transparency Act (passed in late 2025 and signed by President Trump) required the Department of Justice (DOJ)—including the FBI and US Attorneys’ Offices—to publicly release unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, investigations, flight logs, and related matters.
– The DOJ has released approximately 3.5 million pages (plus thousands of videos and images) in major tranches, notably in December 2025 and a large batch on January 30, 2026.
– Officials, including Deputy AG Todd Blanche, have stated this fulfills the Act’s requirements, with redactions for victim privacy, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), active investigations, and classified/national security information.
– The DOJ identified up to ~6 million potentially responsive pages but released about half after review, citing over-collection, duplicates, or exemptions.
However, this is incomplete even for the DOJ:
– Court challenges continue. As of late June 2026, a federal judge (Emmet Sullivan) ordered the DOJ to unredact additional materials (e.g., specific emails and FBI interview notes) or justify withholdings by early July, in response to a lawsuit by journalist Katie Phang.
– Critics (including some Democrats in Congress) argue significant portions remain withheld without adequate justification, and the DOJ Inspector General is reviewing compliance.
– Missing items reportedly include some prison surveillance footage and certain DEA-related documents (though DEA materials may fall under DOJ).
Other Agencies, Including the CIA
The Act explicitly applies only to DOJ records. ***Earlier drafts that would have required broader disclosure across agencies (e.g., CIA, State, Treasury, NSA) were narrowed to secure passage.***
– There is no comprehensive public release of Epstein-related files from the CIA or other non-DOJ agencies.
– Scattered references exist (e.g., Epstein’s own FOIA requests to the CIA/NSA seeking confirmation of any affiliation, which received Glomar responses; or mentions of contacts like former CIA Director William Burns), but these appear in DOJ releases rather than direct agency dumps.
– Intelligence agencies routinely handle sensitive or classified materials that would not be covered even if broader laws existed, and no equivalent transparency mandate has been applied to them for Epstein files.
Overall Status (as of late June 2026)
– Significant transparency has occurred via the DOJ releases, which include court records, FBI files, images, videos, and mentions of prominent individuals (with varying levels of redactions).
– Not full disclosure: Ongoing litigation, redactions, potential withheld batches, and the Act’s narrow scope mean many files—especially from intelligence or other agencies—remain unreleased or inaccessible.
– Public and congressional skepticism persists, with calls for further action.
Here’s why:
Was the US official claim that Epstein wasn’t blackmailing anyone?
Yes — the Justice Department and FBI publicly said they found no credible evidence that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals, and no incriminating “client list.”
That is the official claim as stated in a July 2025 DOJ/FBI memo. Reports at the time summarized it the same way, saying investigators found no evidence supporting blackmail allegations against prominent figures.
The caveat is that this is a claim about what investigators said they could substantiate; it does not prove blackmail never happened, only that they said they found no credible evidence for it.
Who did they ask?

Bill Gates told House panel Epstein was plotting to blackmail him about extramarital affairs
The Oversight panel released a transcript of the June 10 closed-door session.

Gates, according to the transcript, said Epstein used an adviser to send him “veiled” threats, appeared to coach Gates’ adviser on how to potentially blackmail him, and mixed fact and fiction to leverage compromising information against the software billionaire.

I am good with either JD or Marco for Pres 2028. I watched several of JD’s recent ‘book tour’ interviews, and I feel he is expert at pushing back against ridiculous leftist narrative (the View), as well as relating his personal background to his current political stances (Diary of a CEO).
There is a dilemma with Rubio and Vance. If Marco were to be nominee, I just don’t see JD being VP for another 8 years. If JD were to get the nod, I think Rubio as VP is a bit of a step down, so not likely.
JD has commented about his family and it’s possible he may step away for a while to raise his kids, gain experience, and generate more trust. Problem with that is he would have to run against the VP in 8 years.
There must be a way we can have it all but I don’t see it.
minnestotamike55,
JD very well may go, “spend time with the family.” However, he will likely be working with/for some of the Tech-Bros. He is part of their team, after all, which is precisely why I don’t have a lot of interest or faith in him. He seems like he is on their leash.
Given Tucker’s extreme and often obviously illogical pivots away from DJT, my thought is some very powerful people on the dark side have threatened Tucker’s family. There is nothing more precious to Tucker. He sending the signals that he is held hostage, maybe we should listen.
Tucker is unwell. It’s sad. His “I’m free” schtick is transparent bravado…and downright sad. He needs help…
Who in their right mind cares about a podcaster who claims that he was physically attacked and bloodied by demons in the middle of the night? What if Carlson claimed he was abducted by Bigfoot and hauled aboard a flying saucer? Would that finally wake people up? Maybe Carlson would have to call the Earth flat for people to disregard him completely.
As soon as Tucker starting trashing Jews, Zionist Christians and elevating Islam, we tuned out.
Sure enough, Tucker is funded by
EXTREMELY WEALTHY JEW HATING MUSLIM , OMEED MALIK.
Tucker is bought and paid for.
Looks like Trump Jr is a partner in Malik’s firm
The Bible says a great deal about the people known collectively as Israel. In a few words it is Israel or the Israelites who GOD Almighty says over and over are his people, his chosen, his peculiar people. QUESTION? Are the people who JESUS spoke directly to and who were said to be Jews. Are or were they Israelites or GOD’s people Israel? Are the Jews of today descended from the same people that JESUS dealt with.? Read carefully, JOHN 8: the whole chapter and focus especially on verses 31 through 48. After reading all of that then read it again. The blood line starts with Adam and goes through Seth and on and on through the genealogies all laid out in the Bible. It was Cain who murdered his brother Abel, making Cain the first recorded murderer. Read John and make your own decision.
