I am about to post a new podcast momentarily, but since this is breaking news I wanted to give you some space to discuss if you feel like it. I have looked forward to nothing more in the past few years than Tucker Carlson every day at 5pm. This is a huge loss for the Fox Network - I’ll likely never watch them again because he was the main draw.
Does this mean his show is also off of Fox Nation? I hope he lands at Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire but he could certainly have his own show and podcast and succeed just as well as he did on Fox.
I didn’t always agree with him, but he is honest and smart. His departure wasn’t because of the settlement by Fox - and likely has to do with, I’m guessing, two things. 1) they wanted him to stop talking about a given issue, who knows which one, and 2) a salary dispute.
Megyn Kelly says he’s better off and will do fine. I will find him wherever he lands. Here is a speech he gave just a few days ago.
Am guessing that to receive a large severance package, Tucker has signed a gag order. He won't be talking about the Fox separation except in very nebulous terms.
They fired Tucker. He comes from money. Those contracts don’t work like normal ones. Megyn Kelly was really interesting today. I’m also reading BlackRock now has a 15% stake in Fox (I hope the stock crashes)
I think they are definitely preparing to burn Biden--by which I would say "team Biden", because there are more folks than Biden interested in a Biden 2nd term--since he's prepping to announce his official campaign.
I think that Tucker is the smartest guy on cable news. He is relatively independent in his thinking and capable of well-reasoned arguments which, though I don't agree with them all, are always worth my time and consideration . I will miss him. Fox doesn't have anybody left of his intellectual caliber...except maybe Greg Gutfeld who's late night show is the only thing left on Fox worth watching.
I feel exactly the same way Sasha. There aren’t many voices I trust out there anymore and his was one I looked forward to hearing. I didn’t always agree with him either but I trusted him to give us the news. I think this will be the death of Fox. I hope to find him on Daily Wire as well. I was listening to Glenn Beck when the news came across and he said on air, Tucker if you are listening we have a place for you on The Blaze. I’m sure his voice will continue to be heard. I’m excited to see where that will be.
I’m not saying he is perfect, he does make mistakes but he comes clean when he does. As far as media goes he reports the news accurately. Other media outlets don’t do that and are all in the pocket of the democrat party.
Not to be disrespectful but your remark about his lying about election and J6 shows you didn’t actually watch him and likely only listen to the lies by the media about him.
Too much now. Tucker and Lemon out. Susan Rice jumping ship and just heard DeSantis taking himself out of 2024. Personally glad , as a Floridian about DeSantis. Didn't want to lose him. Good riddance to Lemon. Tucker will lead back, like Sasha has, to actual journalism and commentary. Although I'm supporting Vivek I see RFKjr rising. Not a bad thing in my estimation. Maybe he can bring sanity back.
RFK Jr is another Truth teller, which is why Biden and his controllers will never share a debate stage w/ him. RFK Jr starting from similar position as Trump did in ‘16. I like him, especially because of his put-workers-first ethos
Personal friend with Pinellas county person. Won't say anything more since it may be an observation and I don't know where this goes. Hope you understand. Perhaps should have been more discreet.
With all due respect, he never put himself “in.” The media was salivating over ANYBODY but Trump. I love that DeSantis never corrected it & scored big media for it. Person never thought he’d resign to run in 2024...he’d be tough to beat in 2028 though!
Trumps smear machine has been out in force for the last few weeks, including stories about how he was a jerk as a congressman.
If DeSantis really is out, that is probably a smart move for him. Unless Trump screws up so bad he damages the Republican party - which is entirely possible.
I like what I've seen from Vivek so far, and I think he's one of the very few people who can match Trump insult for insult, but do it better than Trump. And you watch - Trump will make a comment about his ethnicity that will get him in trouble.
Reporting talk from Pinellas county Republicans. Don't know if true but wouldn't be surprised. DeSantis loves Florida. Tough for him to leave.
I'm from Queens myself and personally like and understand Trump but he was not an effective president. Can't keep his mouth shut and he is a poor judge of character and cannot deal with bureaucrats or complexity of people and issues.
Biden is morally corrupt. He is detestable and we are suffering his massive ego.
I'm an old man. I think Biden and Trump should be playing with their grandchildren at this point. That goes for Clinton and the rest of them as well.
I like Vivek as I agree with his positions. If DeSantis leaves he grows more viable. I disagree with RFK on a lot of things but he may be the person that can lead this country out of the political prison the MIC, Woke warriors and financial elitists have constructed for us. I'm willing to sacrifice a lot for that endeavor.
Trump as POTUS can be described in four words: great policies, poor leadership.
If DeSantis drops out I think it will be because he knows his candidacy will destroy the Republican party. Trump knows that too, but his ego won't let him make a similar decision. I know this sounds bad, but I'd like to see Trump elected in 2024 and then promptly be impeached by the House and removed by the Senate. This time, I think they'll get the votes they need in the Senate. It depends on his VP pick, and anyone like Pence would be really bad.
Smart move? I’m old enough to remember Sam Nunn who also didn’t go for it when he could have. If DeSantis doesn’t seize this day, he will not likely have another. What will be his move after governor? Lost in the Senate?
It isn’t solely about age. He is well known and well regarded now. He will be out of office and doing what? Who will remember him? Oh yeah, wasn’t he that governor of some state who did something crazy or something during covid? His most optimum time to run is now. Also, corporate media is ginning up the “ too old”( another form of discrimination) theme to use against both Biden and Trump. DeSantis could use that very effectively.
No, not sedition. He has done nothing seditious, despite the myriad breathless protests by the left.
All the things about which Trump posed a threat to democracy never happened. But they are all happening under Biden. There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT which party is the threat to democracy. None at all, and there is not even a lightly reasonable refutation of that.
I just watched that on another platform. Given similar news today, I would rather be in Tucker Carlson's position as opposed to Don Lemon's. Carlson's next chapter will hopefully be his best chapter.
I'm sure others have already said, but I'll say it. Certainly not about salary. They know he's speaking too close to actual truth. He says out loud that we're in a spiritual war. And we are.
Goodbye Sullivan v. NYT. Fox lost when the judge decided that coverage of the vote irregularities was not "news" in the traditional sense of factual presentation. Thus opinion no longer enjoys the safe harbor of having a plaintiff show "actual malice" or "reckless disregard." That coupled with the target being not a public figure but a private enterprise and anything Fox allowed to air was libelous if untrue. Fox lost at summary judgement.
Kyle Rittenhouse is probably popping champagne corks as we speak. Without the two aforementioned safe harbor defenses, a whole bunch of news outlets are in deep trouble.
Interestingly, Clarence Thomas has long thought that reporters and media in general enjoy too much immunity from libel litigation. The Left may be sorry about this decision sooner than they think.
One thing that bugs me about the judge's opinion - I thought the jury was supposed to decide matters of fact, not the judge. If the judge stepped in where he shouldn't have that is a problem. Now, will they apply the same standards to liberal news sites - almost certainly not. Two tiers...
Tucker was the only big name on Fox demanding evidence and pushing back on Sydney Powell (who he never let on his show). Though I agree the Dominion settlement will likely view the left, Tucker wasn’t the one pushing the Dominion stuff at all. Based on Megyn Kelly, that was the judge and Hannity and some others (I only ever watched Tucker on Fox do I know he wasn’t on the hook for Dominion stuff, but I have to trust Kelly in who was).
If this is about the Dominion case, it's odd that Tucker was the only one to pull back and correct by revealing that Sydney Powell did not in fact have any proof of her allegations, or at least wouldn't provide any proof. He's the only one of the evening hosts who acted as a journalist in that case.
Sullivan does need to be reined in, though I'm not sure the trial judge's ruling would have been upheld on appeal.
Like you, I will follow him when he resurfaces....Tucker speaks truth to power...I am guessing the military industrial complex and powers that be hated his constant questioning of the BILLIONS of dollars going to Ukraine - like why are we paying Ukrainian teachers' pensions? We are so in debt ourselves....Tucker was right to give voice to this....Europe has paid $18 BIllion or so and we an ocean away have paid about $100 Billion SO FAR - this is in Europe's backyard - why are we doing the heavy lifting?
Thank you, Sasha, for posting this video. What a wonderful speech. Fox has slit its own throat, and their viewer numbers will tank starting tonight, when folks tune in and realize he's gone. Tucker will pop up somewhere, and have even more influence. He will be free to say what he really thinks without worrying about Corporate hassling him. I'm looking forward to seeing where he lands.
I have never heard anything about an ABC Radio interview. All I ever heard was about the Dominion lawsuit. From his TV program, however, you never knew how he felt about Trump nor did he ever say Biden didn't win. Nothing I heard coming out of the lawsuit suggests Carlson lied.
As for the rest of your verbal vomit, what's sad is that someone like you has nothing better to do than run around a Substack where people are trying to have honest conversations and just be an all around jackass.
My guess? He's leaving voluntarily because Fox is limiting his ability to cover J6 issues and perhaps other issues, as well. Recall:
- Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy made a big deal about giving Tucker Carlson all the video evidence the J6 Committee had.
- Carlson and his team undertook to review that footage and released a controversial montage showing the Viking/horned J6 prisoner, ,Jacob Chansley, being escorted through the capitol by police, praying for them, or police utterly ignoring him. As part of that segment, he said there would be much more to come in future shows.
- The next day, Democrats blew up. Their carefully crafted J6 narrative was in jeopardy. Chuck Schumer in particular threatened Fox and McCarthy, calling on the former to prevent further "slanted" coverage, meaning they should prevent further coverage at all.
- After that, you heard virtually nothing about the J6 video evidence. There were small stories here and there, but no bombshells as on that first night. (I'm not the best source for this since I don't watch Fox News, but I saw no further revelations and I heard nothing further from the likes of Chuck Schumer after that first round.)
- Carlson seems to have become good friends with other excommunicated media personalities, such as Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. Both of them could be expected to encourage him to leave if those in charge insist on censoring.
Yes I wondered the same thing about his brief J6 reporting. Was the definition of a “limited hangout”. I wondered if it was Tuckers choice to not expand on the footage or the network’s, but I’m guessing it was the latter. Hopefully he lands on his feet in a place where he won’t be limited and we’ll get Tucker “with the gloves off”.
Tucker Carlson was the only reason I watched The Fox News Network. He's smart, intellectually honest, and has the courage to speak truth to power. It's a shame that the Murdoch's made the decision to take such an important voice out of millions of households. I hope they pay dearly for it!
Praise you Lord Jesus Christ ✝️🌹🇺🇸. A tree is known by its fruit. MSM is the enemy of the People and Fox is no exception. Everything will be alright in the end...if it's not alright, it's not the end. ✝️🌹🇮🇪🇺🇸 Fasting and praying for justice in this life 🙏
Agree with you 100%. Fox News is Tucker. Bashed the left, bashed the right, no favorites just the truth. I pray he lands somewhere soon because America needs his voice and perspective.
Best guesses: 1. Plan to tell the truth about Ray Epps’s FBI links to counter 60 Minutes 2. Plan to tell his side of the Dominion story 3. Giving voice to RFK accusations against big Pharma’s kill shot or 4. Some combination of the above, including perhaps a long-standing offer by big Pharma and friends to do a lot of sponsoring on Fox to help the Murdochs pay Tucker’s severance.
I turned Fox off about four years ago when Murdoch's kids - more likely their activist wives - started kowtowing to the Left. The world will be better off with Tucker on his own like Megyn Kelly and Bongino. I wonder when the best and hilarious night show - Gutfeld - will be neutered...
Tucker was considered the furthest right media personality that was allowed on air. That being said, he:
1. Forced his head writer to resign for offering slightly offensive views the day after he did a segment on not caving into woke mobs.
2. During the 2020 election results controversy, Tucker was told not to say anything about it by his employer and he kept quiet, publicly arguing the election was legitimate. In this way he massively helped the establishment even as he railed against it on a day to day basis.
3. Tucker is also close friends with Hunter Biden.
4. He may be a CIA asset.
5. Leaked texts also show Tucker writing “I hate [Trump] passionately.”
In plain terms, Tucker, Fox News, the NY Post, and other mainstream right-wing publications build up trust among the masses in normal times in order to cash in that trust against them at key points, undermining the people that trusted them in order to help globohomo.
I guess it’s bad overall that he’s gone, because he did promote a quasi-populist message at times, but at least now the masses can see Fox for what it’s always been: a globohomo establishment led by far-leftist executives (both Murdoch sons are far-leftists).
Hard to trust anyone nowadays. Anyone who earns more than $100,000 a year or holds any political office aside from a local one is automatically suspect in my book.
"Hunter! I can't thank you enough for writing that letter to Georgetown on Buckley's behalf. So nice of you. I know it'll help," Carlson wrote. "Hope you're great and we can all get dinner soon. Tucker."
"On Thursday the Washington Post revealed new emails and said analysis by security experts confirmed their authenticity....The Post also said emails showed Carlson helping Biden in 2015, amid reports about the state of Biden’s marriage. Carlson has confirmed doing so."
Hi Chiyo, the election irregularities were well documented and you can see a rehash of it here.: https://2020electionirregularities.com/ Tucker could have delved into any of this without relying on Powell's statements...
I have been an attorney for 28 years. You clearly have no idea how voluminous evidence is. Reams and reams of documentary evidence, witness testimony encapsulated in hours and hours of videotapes, audiotapes, and volumes of transcripts, etc. Trials take days, weeks, months, years. Evidence fills ROOMS. To think evidence for complex litigation of this sort - election interference on a grand scale in multiple targeted locations - could be presented on screen on a one hour television show - is the most preposterous thing I have heard in a while. So just sit this one out, and take your “blindly defending MAGA” sophomoric drivel elsewhere.
Yes Sasha, I absolutely agree! Tucker brought us a sense of the moral and ethical dearth destroying our society today...along with the hope that all is not lost. I feel certain he will land somewhere good and take his multitude with him...it will be Fox’s loss along with ours.
As much as I’ve counted on Tucker to bring some sanity to our daily lives, I’ve come to count on others like Glenn Greenwald, Chris Bray, and a certain heretofore unknown (to me). Ms S. Stone! Keep it up, kiddo!
I pretty much agreed with every position he took on things, but imho, his theatrics and forced laugh was annoying. I seldom watched him, but most my news inputs are from Twitter or Substack anymore with a few podcasts.
I'm sure Pharma welcomed this as he relentlessly attacked them. In fact they ,may have had something to do with it.
He'll be fine and will probably enjoy more income and greater influence by moving out of the dying corporate media world.
I think this will end up being a hugely consequential decision for FOX and not for the good. For Tucker, on the other hand, it will mean no more muzzle and lots more cash. Independent journalism is where real news is found today!
The remarks in the video Tucker Carlson Keynote Address at Heritage 50th Anniversary Celebration highlight the fact that things are quickly moving into focus. It is now becoming clear that this is a conflict between polar opposites.
We have the opposites of Good and Evil with the good characterized by order, calmness tranquility, peace, Lack of conflict, cleanliness, and by extension, you should add, common sense civil rights, individual liberty, and limited government.
Evil is characterized by its opposites, violence, hate, disorder, division, disorganization, and filth.
So, if you’re advocating that latter group of outcomes, along with control, unlimited government, and the destruction of civil rights, you’re advocating evil.
This is welcome news. Untethered to Fox News, Tucker can tell much, much more about the truth of what is actually happening around the world right now, than he ever could have at the ethically compromised Fox News.
On a side note: Fox News initiated the massive theft of the 2020 election, with their intentionally ill-timed, early call for AZ and their complete silence on how quickly Florida should have been called for 45. They also suppressed any efforts to investigate and discuss the blatant election theft after it was stolen by a variety of means. They are still censoring. They apparently threatened Tucker Carlson during his 2-night episodes exposing the truth about J6, so that the videos meant to be shown on the second night were nixed. They will never be what they once were, and the sooner people see that they are now only controlled opposition, the better. We need truth now more than at any time in our history, as we are subject to 5GW on a daily basis. #FOXIT!
Well, not sure "trust" is the right word, but on any given night (esp in the last couple of years), tucker would drop more than a few truth bombs that you could not get (almost) anywhere else. So I'm gonna miss that.
Sometimes that is a good philosophy. There is no Democrat party, it has been almost entirely infiltrated by leftist ideologues and moral cowards/opportunists. Not much better can be said about the Republicans, sadly. There are a very few I still respect.
There's so much talk of him landing at Dailywire - talk about completely changing the game if that happens!
Sad day for FOX though. What on Earth were they thinking? If they've gone left they'll just shift into the overwhelmingly oversaturated amount of left of center news out there and cease to be successful. And large swaths of comments of people unsubscribing! It's as disastrous a decision as the Mulvaney and Budlight partnership. Makes no sense.
Sad day for Fox? I’ll never feel sorry for that fake news clown network. They’re no better that CNN/MSNBC, just from a right wing narrative. Tucker was their only saving grace, and even himself was a limited hangout.
He doesn’t need Dailywire, though it would be a ‘coup’ of sorts for them. Having his own podcast or Spotify distribution show like Rogan has, would be better.
He is well known, well followed and very provocative. He will move to YouTube and continue to soldier on. He is opinionated, but is open to real discussion too. Maybe he can team up with Elon Musk and do something on (red pill) Twitter?
Just cancelled my subscription. In the comments box I wrote: Tucker Carlson was the only reason I subscribed. He's gone—and so am I. Ironically, I still have time left on my subscription (nearly a year) so they may have to give me a credit. Wouldn't that be nice? Hope that's the case with everyone.
Tucker is the only reason I watch Fox News. I like Greg Gutfeld and occasionally watch The Five, but no more. Fox's inferiority complex made them susceptible to MSM Mean Girl tactics. Congratulations, Paul Ryan!!
I just canceled Fox Nation and will also drop Direct TV if they don't have a decent option WITHOUT Fox News.
I watched Tucker for his thoughtful commentary. I sometimes didn't agree but I nearly always learned something. This is exactly the choice that we should have - to be provoked to think -instead of being fed the mindless drivel that comes out a meat grinder and is fed to all channels to "appease the masses." I read the daily from my local Axios and scold them for their biased views. They tell me they need to consider their audience, never understanding the absurdity that I am also their audience. I watched "The Five" tonight for news of Tucker. Greg Gutfeld slyly mentioned the vacancy. It's obvious that they are told not to talk about it. I expect Tucker will land on his feet. I'm not so sure about Fox.
I just received your book from Amazon and already immersed in the wonderful story. I’ll be sure to review it on Amazon this week as well. Btw Major, thank-you for your service. That’s a heck of combat mission career you had. I’m glad you came back alive.
Thank you! I'm happy you are enjoying "Good Times ..." Thanks for the words regarding my military service. I'm indeed thankful that I was spared when so many weren't.
Hey Major Emry, I am half-way through your book and am very much enjoying it. It does bring me back to a different time and place in Nebraska and although seemingly simpler, I can also appreciate it was more difficult and stressful to survive and thrive in. The terms “true grit” and “salt of the earth” frequently come to mind as I read it. I think the romantic touches like them meeting amongst the flypaper floating from the ceiling will stay with me forever. I tried to leave a 5 star review on Amazon but found Amazon suspended my ability to review because I had been putting “Let’s Go Brandon” in a lot of my reviews as a a joke about Biden So, thank-you for sharing your story of that wonderful time and place and know that my family and I are enjoying your book. Thank-you, Major.
Thank you! I laughed about your attempt to leave a review. Just knowing the reason is worth more to me than the rating. Ha! Some folks certainly don't like our exercising our first amendment rights. Some little twerp probably had great fun denying you. Feather merchants! What ya gonna do? The book gets a bit repetitive in the middle, but it picks up again around page 115 and the following section "Bone Digging Days" focuses on my involvement and finishes up the book. Best wishes, Raleigh
I haven't had cable for years and haven't watched him. (There's plenty out there on streaming channels.) I suspect Murdoch fired him, probably to accommodate Democrats in Congress. FOX has been moving further and further to the left ever since Murdoch's kids took over the network. They're headed toward becoming another MSNBC.
Tucker Carlson doesn't need fox but the People need Tucker. I remember when Elvis died and held the headlines in the press for 3 full days. Today our press is pretty much owned by the democrat party so stats like popularity will be different. FOX got rid of two 5***** guys in less than a full week. I watched Dan Bongino all the time too. Neither would fit in with todays fake news media that doesn't report the real news. Tucker and Dan will do fine. FOX could be in big trouble. Look for FOX to put Karl Rove in Tuckers spot and Geraldo in Dan's spot. I don't feel sorry for FOX.
OK You got me on that one. I went into the Military before he did. He got out before I did. My brand new bride and I went to Elivis first movie after he got out, on Christmas day 1960.
Many times over the past couple of years, I turned to my husband and said that they will get Tucker off the air at Fox. That it's only a matter of time. Not because Tucker's show is bad, but because of the way that Tucker challenges power and the elites. I can't think of anyone else who does it like he does. All of the media are servants of the Democrat/Uniparty and the Security State at this point. My guess #1 is his stance on Ukraine, #2 his talk about Joe Biden being a pedophile/showering with his daughter (being very outspoken about that), is my guess, but who knows what it could be.
I don't watch Fox News, only Tucker and Laura but I'll catch Laura on YouTube from now on. Once I finish watching Tucker's programs on Fox Nation, I'm cancelling my subscription.
To me, Fox is really like the rest of MSM. I think of it as one mouth. Some talk comes out of the right side of the mouth, some from the left side of the mouth, but it's all the same mouth.
The collapse of mainstream media 🤩! All of it! We need to be celebrating Tuckers departure rather than bashing Fox 🥳! He’s been released to speak freely on whatever new platform he chooses, maybe Rumble, Locals, Daily Wire, etc. Alternative media is where the truth lives unencumbered by politics, wokeness and censorship and it’s where most informed people are getting their information from these days anyway. I’m personally super excited to watch the MSM go up in flames 🔥!
My guess is that Pfizer, which spent $2.8 Thousand Million on advertising last year objected to Carlsons growing respect and friendship with RFK Jr, theyre greatest nemesis and laid that on the line with Rupert!
Great clip!! He’s a unique speaker and thinker and I know he will have even better opportunities ahead. I went to TuckerCarlson.com and signed up to be notified about where to find him going forward.
I hope he goes in to politics but he's probably too smart. We talk about him as though he isn't worth nearly half a billion dollars. Of COURSE he'll "be okay." Get real.
I stopped watching him months ago based on is irrational and dishonest hostility to Ukraine's desire to have their own nation again after two centuries of Russian tyrrany. Tucker appears to resent that they do not want to form the base of a reconstituted Russian Empire in Europe. Too many outright lies, the latest being "US soldiers are engaging in direct hostilities!" Utter nonsense, system-training missions are not pulling triggers. But nothing was too low for him to use to beat up the Ukrainian cause. It became nutty, and then repulsive as he crowed at every hint of Russian success. I put it down to a level of partisanship that drove him over the edge - call it "Biden Derangement Syndrome" if you like. If Biden supports it, it must be evil. It often is, but this is not one of those times.
On other issues, he was an important voice, but I came to distrust him so much because of his outright lies on the one issue that I gave up on trusting him on anything. False in part, false in whole, as the jury instruction goes.
I respect your position on Ukraine however, as a Vietnam veteran who has 12 friends listed on the very last panel of the Memorial on the National Mall, (it's chronological) I am reluctant to sign onto anything that is not supported by a majority of our citizens, that has never-ending funds for the giant military industrial complex and has no exit strategy. I have no animus toward Ukraine and no love for Russia, but we are funding far more than our share and as a nuclear power in opposition to a nuclear power, it's extremely dangerous. Before my Vietnam service I was certified to carry two nuclear weapons on an F-4E Phantom fighter on a low-level dash from Germany into the Soviet Union to level two cities. I don't wish to get back into a Cold War mindset that risks the end of civilization.
One thing I forgot to mention: The Constitution grants Congress the SOLE power to declare war. A debate in Congress and a vote keeps passions of the moment from overtaking us or having war declared by Presidential Executive Order.
Carlson opposed US involvement in the Ukraine and advised against sending our money and men. The war monger NEOCONS of the GOP RINOS and Democratic Party hate him for that. Finally, as a military veteran like Major Emry, I take any suggestions to send our young men in to combat, personally. I truly wish that those who haven’t served would be more circumspect.
I’m really on the fence with this issue. I support Ukraine in this battle but I heard that Zelensky made the comment that it’s dangerous for anyone to question their efforts (I’m paraphrasing and did not hear this myself) but that one thing has given me pause. That said, I sincerely thank you for your service.
Guys here on this Substack like Old Breed and Raleigh Emry, who are articulate about the risks of wars, give me hope that we can avoid engaging in what for America would be yet another unjust war.
Tucker was absolutely correct in questioning the American $$$$ that was and is being sent to the Ukraine- like why are we paying Ukrainian pensions? We can’t even take care of our own and are TRILLIONS in debt.
Like a lot of other commenters, Tucker was about the only thing I watched. Didn't always agree with him but his was about the only independent voice left on television. I was expecting him to leave at some point but am a bit surprised about the timing. I'm sure he had plans on what he was going to do after his firing so I'll follow him on his next venture.
Cancelled my subscription to Fox Nation today
Beat ya’ to it...already did that!
Me too. I’m waiting for Megyn Kelly’s podcast to update....
She has a great response to this today. Really in-depth.
It was fantastic!
Megyn is one of the best journalists working today.
So did we.
must do that too - thanks for the reminder
Can’t wait for Tucker to be interviewed on why he and Fox parted ways, and very interested to hear his voice outside of MSM
Am guessing that to receive a large severance package, Tucker has signed a gag order. He won't be talking about the Fox separation except in very nebulous terms.
They fired Tucker. He comes from money. Those contracts don’t work like normal ones. Megyn Kelly was really interesting today. I’m also reading BlackRock now has a 15% stake in Fox (I hope the stock crashes)
me too LOL
Cancel your Sling Blue if the only reason you had it (like me) was to watch Fox News. And let them know why you are canceling.
Me too!
Ditto
Ditto!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I expect he will end up at The Blaze, Daily Wire, OAN, or his own show (similar to Bongino).
He was the last excuse, for many, to watch FOX.
And a day or so after AOC blathering on about how Tucker needed to be restricted or silenced...
We are moving deeper into the era of American Pravda.
I'm wondering about Rice leaving the White House.
Are they finally preparing to burn Biden?
I think Rice and Ron Klain both got out of the blast zone.
Maybe they see the freight train on the horizon.
They'll just derail it in some poor town...
Rats leaving the sinking ship.
Lawyering up...
I think they are definitely preparing to burn Biden--by which I would say "team Biden", because there are more folks than Biden interested in a Biden 2nd term--since he's prepping to announce his official campaign.
I think that Tucker is the smartest guy on cable news. He is relatively independent in his thinking and capable of well-reasoned arguments which, though I don't agree with them all, are always worth my time and consideration . I will miss him. Fox doesn't have anybody left of his intellectual caliber...except maybe Greg Gutfeld who's late night show is the only thing left on Fox worth watching.
I feel exactly the same way Sasha. There aren’t many voices I trust out there anymore and his was one I looked forward to hearing. I didn’t always agree with him either but I trusted him to give us the news. I think this will be the death of Fox. I hope to find him on Daily Wire as well. I was listening to Glenn Beck when the news came across and he said on air, Tucker if you are listening we have a place for you on The Blaze. I’m sure his voice will continue to be heard. I’m excited to see where that will be.
I’m not saying he is perfect, he does make mistakes but he comes clean when he does. As far as media goes he reports the news accurately. Other media outlets don’t do that and are all in the pocket of the democrat party.
Not to be disrespectful but your remark about his lying about election and J6 shows you didn’t actually watch him and likely only listen to the lies by the media about him.
I guess being God elevates your view and
must be obeyed.
Or maybe, he showed enough of J6 to get himself fired.
Please help me. Why do you write "Elon Musk the Rat"? Can you please explain your use of this epithet?
To quote from Woody Allen's "Annie Hall": "Right. Well, I have to - I have to go now, ..., because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth."
I also trust him very much and will follow him somewhere else, assuming he will not remain silent for long.
Too much now. Tucker and Lemon out. Susan Rice jumping ship and just heard DeSantis taking himself out of 2024. Personally glad , as a Floridian about DeSantis. Didn't want to lose him. Good riddance to Lemon. Tucker will lead back, like Sasha has, to actual journalism and commentary. Although I'm supporting Vivek I see RFKjr rising. Not a bad thing in my estimation. Maybe he can bring sanity back.
I just got invited to a small (50 person) event Vivek is doing in Iowa next month. I'm pretty jazzed about it.
I've been listening to Vivek quite a lot the last few weeks. I love how positive his message is. I hope he gains traction.
He and Kennedy are good entrants to the field, but both very doubtful regarding electability.
RFK Jr is another Truth teller, which is why Biden and his controllers will never share a debate stage w/ him. RFK Jr starting from similar position as Trump did in ‘16. I like him, especially because of his put-workers-first ethos
Where have you her Ron has taken himself out? I am a fellow Floridian and agree, we cannot lose him just yet
Personal friend with Pinellas county person. Won't say anything more since it may be an observation and I don't know where this goes. Hope you understand. Perhaps should have been more discreet.
With all due respect, he never put himself “in.” The media was salivating over ANYBODY but Trump. I love that DeSantis never corrected it & scored big media for it. Person never thought he’d resign to run in 2024...he’d be tough to beat in 2028 though!
Odd. I just saw my first DeSantis for President TV spot today.
Trumps smear machine has been out in force for the last few weeks, including stories about how he was a jerk as a congressman.
If DeSantis really is out, that is probably a smart move for him. Unless Trump screws up so bad he damages the Republican party - which is entirely possible.
I like what I've seen from Vivek so far, and I think he's one of the very few people who can match Trump insult for insult, but do it better than Trump. And you watch - Trump will make a comment about his ethnicity that will get him in trouble.
Reporting talk from Pinellas county Republicans. Don't know if true but wouldn't be surprised. DeSantis loves Florida. Tough for him to leave.
I'm from Queens myself and personally like and understand Trump but he was not an effective president. Can't keep his mouth shut and he is a poor judge of character and cannot deal with bureaucrats or complexity of people and issues.
Biden is morally corrupt. He is detestable and we are suffering his massive ego.
I'm an old man. I think Biden and Trump should be playing with their grandchildren at this point. That goes for Clinton and the rest of them as well.
I like Vivek as I agree with his positions. If DeSantis leaves he grows more viable. I disagree with RFK on a lot of things but he may be the person that can lead this country out of the political prison the MIC, Woke warriors and financial elitists have constructed for us. I'm willing to sacrifice a lot for that endeavor.
Trump as POTUS can be described in four words: great policies, poor leadership.
If DeSantis drops out I think it will be because he knows his candidacy will destroy the Republican party. Trump knows that too, but his ego won't let him make a similar decision. I know this sounds bad, but I'd like to see Trump elected in 2024 and then promptly be impeached by the House and removed by the Senate. This time, I think they'll get the votes they need in the Senate. It depends on his VP pick, and anyone like Pence would be really bad.
Proof for that on RFK, Jr., please.
I used Duckduckgo, and came up with nothing directly regarding ‘gun control'. I do not use the alphabet company, if I can avoid it.
Smart move? I’m old enough to remember Sam Nunn who also didn’t go for it when he could have. If DeSantis doesn’t seize this day, he will not likely have another. What will be his move after governor? Lost in the Senate?
DeSantis is quite young...he'll have another shot.
It isn’t solely about age. He is well known and well regarded now. He will be out of office and doing what? Who will remember him? Oh yeah, wasn’t he that governor of some state who did something crazy or something during covid? His most optimum time to run is now. Also, corporate media is ginning up the “ too old”( another form of discrimination) theme to use against both Biden and Trump. DeSantis could use that very effectively.
No, not sedition. He has done nothing seditious, despite the myriad breathless protests by the left.
All the things about which Trump posed a threat to democracy never happened. But they are all happening under Biden. There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT which party is the threat to democracy. None at all, and there is not even a lightly reasonable refutation of that.
I just watched that on another platform. Given similar news today, I would rather be in Tucker Carlson's position as opposed to Don Lemon's. Carlson's next chapter will hopefully be his best chapter.
Shoe shiner at a gay leather bar seems to be Miss Lemon’s future 🍋
Is "shoe shiner" code for something worse?
Yes…. It means you are less able to think clearly and precisely. Sort of like the subject of this article. Don the Lemon….. Voltaire on wheels…..
I'm sure others have already said, but I'll say it. Certainly not about salary. They know he's speaking too close to actual truth. He says out loud that we're in a spiritual war. And we are.
BS. Carlson regularly pissed off GOP RINOS and Democratic Party both.
Goodbye Sullivan v. NYT. Fox lost when the judge decided that coverage of the vote irregularities was not "news" in the traditional sense of factual presentation. Thus opinion no longer enjoys the safe harbor of having a plaintiff show "actual malice" or "reckless disregard." That coupled with the target being not a public figure but a private enterprise and anything Fox allowed to air was libelous if untrue. Fox lost at summary judgement.
Kyle Rittenhouse is probably popping champagne corks as we speak. Without the two aforementioned safe harbor defenses, a whole bunch of news outlets are in deep trouble.
Interestingly, Clarence Thomas has long thought that reporters and media in general enjoy too much immunity from libel litigation. The Left may be sorry about this decision sooner than they think.
We'll see if anyone on the right is willing to go after the lying left wing media...I won't hold my breath...
One thing that bugs me about the judge's opinion - I thought the jury was supposed to decide matters of fact, not the judge. If the judge stepped in where he shouldn't have that is a problem. Now, will they apply the same standards to liberal news sites - almost certainly not. Two tiers...
The judges are just another corrupt bunch.
Tucker was the only big name on Fox demanding evidence and pushing back on Sydney Powell (who he never let on his show). Though I agree the Dominion settlement will likely view the left, Tucker wasn’t the one pushing the Dominion stuff at all. Based on Megyn Kelly, that was the judge and Hannity and some others (I only ever watched Tucker on Fox do I know he wasn’t on the hook for Dominion stuff, but I have to trust Kelly in who was).
If this is about the Dominion case, it's odd that Tucker was the only one to pull back and correct by revealing that Sydney Powell did not in fact have any proof of her allegations, or at least wouldn't provide any proof. He's the only one of the evening hosts who acted as a journalist in that case.
Sullivan does need to be reined in, though I'm not sure the trial judge's ruling would have been upheld on appeal.
Like you, I will follow him when he resurfaces....Tucker speaks truth to power...I am guessing the military industrial complex and powers that be hated his constant questioning of the BILLIONS of dollars going to Ukraine - like why are we paying Ukrainian teachers' pensions? We are so in debt ourselves....Tucker was right to give voice to this....Europe has paid $18 BIllion or so and we an ocean away have paid about $100 Billion SO FAR - this is in Europe's backyard - why are we doing the heavy lifting?
I agree, the issue of funding Ukraine while our country is suffering economically definitely irks me.
Tucker’s words about abortion and child sacrifice takes us to the Torah, and specifically Israel’s fall from grace as told in Judges …
“…the whole point of driving out the Canaanites was to avoid their moral corruption and ways of worshipping the gods through child sacrifice”

Add Big Pharma to the list of those that want to silence Tucker.
Thank you, Sasha, for posting this video. What a wonderful speech. Fox has slit its own throat, and their viewer numbers will tank starting tonight, when folks tune in and realize he's gone. Tucker will pop up somewhere, and have even more influence. He will be free to say what he really thinks without worrying about Corporate hassling him. I'm looking forward to seeing where he lands.
So tell me...who isn't a fake? Who should we be listening to?
Good question. I suggest viewing everything with a grain of salt. Use discretion. Compare with different sources.
Choose independent and small private rather than corporate. If all your news sources sound the same, they may be singing from one musical score.
Hi from Australia,
He was only show I watched on our service provider and due to time change was on in the mornings and worked my schedule around his time slot.
Will be missed and hope a bright future for him.
What a weird day. And it's funny that no one is talking about Don L the way they are about Tucker
There's a reason why no one is talking about Don L. Don L was let go because he was too fake. I suspect that Tucker was "let go" for the opposite.
Anything DL has to say is frivolous compare to Tucker’s reporting.
"He hates Trump and believes Biden won, according to his own emails."
He has said nothing on his show that would contradict either one of those.
I have never heard anything about an ABC Radio interview. All I ever heard was about the Dominion lawsuit. From his TV program, however, you never knew how he felt about Trump nor did he ever say Biden didn't win. Nothing I heard coming out of the lawsuit suggests Carlson lied.
As for the rest of your verbal vomit, what's sad is that someone like you has nothing better to do than run around a Substack where people are trying to have honest conversations and just be an all around jackass.
I bet everywhere you are is a sad place, at least for those unfortunate enough to be there with you.
Don Lemon is weird, has lots of personal issues....
Not even the left were actually big fans of Don Lemon. He didn't have the viewership or the devotees that Tucker had.
Maybe because Tucker has some substance and actual thoughts. Lemon was eye candy for the boys.
My guess? He's leaving voluntarily because Fox is limiting his ability to cover J6 issues and perhaps other issues, as well. Recall:
- Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy made a big deal about giving Tucker Carlson all the video evidence the J6 Committee had.
- Carlson and his team undertook to review that footage and released a controversial montage showing the Viking/horned J6 prisoner, ,Jacob Chansley, being escorted through the capitol by police, praying for them, or police utterly ignoring him. As part of that segment, he said there would be much more to come in future shows.
- The next day, Democrats blew up. Their carefully crafted J6 narrative was in jeopardy. Chuck Schumer in particular threatened Fox and McCarthy, calling on the former to prevent further "slanted" coverage, meaning they should prevent further coverage at all.
- After that, you heard virtually nothing about the J6 video evidence. There were small stories here and there, but no bombshells as on that first night. (I'm not the best source for this since I don't watch Fox News, but I saw no further revelations and I heard nothing further from the likes of Chuck Schumer after that first round.)
- Carlson seems to have become good friends with other excommunicated media personalities, such as Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. Both of them could be expected to encourage him to leave if those in charge insist on censoring.
Yes I wondered the same thing about his brief J6 reporting. Was the definition of a “limited hangout”. I wondered if it was Tuckers choice to not expand on the footage or the network’s, but I’m guessing it was the latter. Hopefully he lands on his feet in a place where he won’t be limited and we’ll get Tucker “with the gloves off”.
That's what it looked like to me, as well.
Tucker Carlson was the only reason I watched The Fox News Network. He's smart, intellectually honest, and has the courage to speak truth to power. It's a shame that the Murdoch's made the decision to take such an important voice out of millions of households. I hope they pay dearly for it!
Let’s face it, the far-left hates Tucker because he says what was not supposed to be said and he has a good time doing it.
You’re not supposed to do that these days because we lurch from one crisis to another, the contention is that we should all be miserable.
.
As George Orwell put it back when he wrote 1984:
“There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy.”
The NEOCONS of the GOP and the Democratic Party both hate him.
I distrust anything on TV now as a news source. "Brought to you by Pfizer." Fox News is controlled opposition just like the GOP in Washington.
Definitely...
Praise you Lord Jesus Christ ✝️🌹🇺🇸. A tree is known by its fruit. MSM is the enemy of the People and Fox is no exception. Everything will be alright in the end...if it's not alright, it's not the end. ✝️🌹🇮🇪🇺🇸 Fasting and praying for justice in this life 🙏
Love your stuff, Bill. Now, do you love Tucker Carlson or not!
Indeed I do. Tucker Carlson is a Child of God. Be well and God bless you and your family ✝️🌹🇺🇸
Knew it! :D. God Bless, Kel.
When someone speaks truth you must neuter them...according to the Biden regime
Obama clearly wanted to smother FOX and made no bones about it...and they say he's the one really running the WH : )
Agree with you 100%. Fox News is Tucker. Bashed the left, bashed the right, no favorites just the truth. I pray he lands somewhere soon because America needs his voice and perspective.
Best guesses: 1. Plan to tell the truth about Ray Epps’s FBI links to counter 60 Minutes 2. Plan to tell his side of the Dominion story 3. Giving voice to RFK accusations against big Pharma’s kill shot or 4. Some combination of the above, including perhaps a long-standing offer by big Pharma and friends to do a lot of sponsoring on Fox to help the Murdochs pay Tucker’s severance.
I turned Fox off about four years ago when Murdoch's kids - more likely their activist wives - started kowtowing to the Left. The world will be better off with Tucker on his own like Megyn Kelly and Bongino. I wonder when the best and hilarious night show - Gutfeld - will be neutered...
Tucker was considered the furthest right media personality that was allowed on air. That being said, he:
1. Forced his head writer to resign for offering slightly offensive views the day after he did a segment on not caving into woke mobs.
2. During the 2020 election results controversy, Tucker was told not to say anything about it by his employer and he kept quiet, publicly arguing the election was legitimate. In this way he massively helped the establishment even as he railed against it on a day to day basis.
3. Tucker is also close friends with Hunter Biden.
4. He may be a CIA asset.
5. Leaked texts also show Tucker writing “I hate [Trump] passionately.”
In plain terms, Tucker, Fox News, the NY Post, and other mainstream right-wing publications build up trust among the masses in normal times in order to cash in that trust against them at key points, undermining the people that trusted them in order to help globohomo.
I guess it’s bad overall that he’s gone, because he did promote a quasi-populist message at times, but at least now the masses can see Fox for what it’s always been: a globohomo establishment led by far-leftist executives (both Murdoch sons are far-leftists).
Joe Scarborough - is that you?
¯\ _(ツ) _/¯
Hard to trust anyone nowadays. Anyone who earns more than $100,000 a year or holds any political office aside from a local one is automatically suspect in my book.
What kind of a “close friend” goes on about you the way Carlson did to Hunter Biden?
Hi JuQu, I am referring to this:
"Hunter! I can't thank you enough for writing that letter to Georgetown on Buckley's behalf. So nice of you. I know it'll help," Carlson wrote. "Hope you're great and we can all get dinner soon. Tucker."
https://www.newsweek.com/lin-wood-email-tucker-carlson-hunter-biden-son-college-1655695
The email wasn't even verified...
"On Thursday the Washington Post revealed new emails and said analysis by security experts confirmed their authenticity....The Post also said emails showed Carlson helping Biden in 2015, amid reports about the state of Biden’s marriage. Carlson has confirmed doing so."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/19/tucker-carlson-hunter-biden-georgetown-emails
Does that satisfy?
The Washington Post and the Guardian are just mouth pieces for the IC. So…no, not really.
Hi Chiyo, the election irregularities were well documented and you can see a rehash of it here.: https://2020electionirregularities.com/ Tucker could have delved into any of this without relying on Powell's statements...
You can’t even write with proper grammar or sentence structure, which only amplifies your illiteracy and nonsensical reasoning.
I have been an attorney for 28 years. You clearly have no idea how voluminous evidence is. Reams and reams of documentary evidence, witness testimony encapsulated in hours and hours of videotapes, audiotapes, and volumes of transcripts, etc. Trials take days, weeks, months, years. Evidence fills ROOMS. To think evidence for complex litigation of this sort - election interference on a grand scale in multiple targeted locations - could be presented on screen on a one hour television show - is the most preposterous thing I have heard in a while. So just sit this one out, and take your “blindly defending MAGA” sophomoric drivel elsewhere.
Yes Sasha, I absolutely agree! Tucker brought us a sense of the moral and ethical dearth destroying our society today...along with the hope that all is not lost. I feel certain he will land somewhere good and take his multitude with him...it will be Fox’s loss along with ours.
As much as I’ve counted on Tucker to bring some sanity to our daily lives, I’ve come to count on others like Glenn Greenwald, Chris Bray, and a certain heretofore unknown (to me). Ms S. Stone! Keep it up, kiddo!
FOX just lost the majority of their audience. Dan Bongino no longer has a show. but that was because they could 't agrree on a new contract.
I pretty much agreed with every position he took on things, but imho, his theatrics and forced laugh was annoying. I seldom watched him, but most my news inputs are from Twitter or Substack anymore with a few podcasts.
I'm sure Pharma welcomed this as he relentlessly attacked them. In fact they ,may have had something to do with it.
He'll be fine and will probably enjoy more income and greater influence by moving out of the dying corporate media world.
I hear you about the theatrics and the forced laugh… he started that about a year ago, it was truly annoying.
I think this will end up being a hugely consequential decision for FOX and not for the good. For Tucker, on the other hand, it will mean no more muzzle and lots more cash. Independent journalism is where real news is found today!
The remarks in the video Tucker Carlson Keynote Address at Heritage 50th Anniversary Celebration highlight the fact that things are quickly moving into focus. It is now becoming clear that this is a conflict between polar opposites.
We have the opposites of Good and Evil with the good characterized by order, calmness tranquility, peace, Lack of conflict, cleanliness, and by extension, you should add, common sense civil rights, individual liberty, and limited government.
Evil is characterized by its opposites, violence, hate, disorder, division, disorganization, and filth.
So, if you’re advocating that latter group of outcomes, along with control, unlimited government, and the destruction of civil rights, you’re advocating evil.
This is welcome news. Untethered to Fox News, Tucker can tell much, much more about the truth of what is actually happening around the world right now, than he ever could have at the ethically compromised Fox News.
On a side note: Fox News initiated the massive theft of the 2020 election, with their intentionally ill-timed, early call for AZ and their complete silence on how quickly Florida should have been called for 45. They also suppressed any efforts to investigate and discuss the blatant election theft after it was stolen by a variety of means. They are still censoring. They apparently threatened Tucker Carlson during his 2-night episodes exposing the truth about J6, so that the videos meant to be shown on the second night were nixed. They will never be what they once were, and the sooner people see that they are now only controlled opposition, the better. We need truth now more than at any time in our history, as we are subject to 5GW on a daily basis. #FOXIT!
Well written, Bianca.
Thank you!
I think Tucker is important and brings important things to the table.
But I don't have anything like the same level of trust that I'm seeing expressed here, by Sasha (whose character I do trust) and so many others.
In fact, to be direct, I don't trust Tucker, even if I do appreciate his input.
I'd be happy to hear why others do, after everything?
Well, not sure "trust" is the right word, but on any given night (esp in the last couple of years), tucker would drop more than a few truth bombs that you could not get (almost) anywhere else. So I'm gonna miss that.
I trust him because he is the enemy of my enemies (ie. GOP RINOS, Deep State, Democratic Party; in that order).
Sometimes that is a good philosophy. There is no Democrat party, it has been almost entirely infiltrated by leftist ideologues and moral cowards/opportunists. Not much better can be said about the Republicans, sadly. There are a very few I still respect.
Dr. Malone said he knows him and considers him a friend... and respects his political insight. So, if you think he’s pretty trustworthy…
There's so much talk of him landing at Dailywire - talk about completely changing the game if that happens!
Sad day for FOX though. What on Earth were they thinking? If they've gone left they'll just shift into the overwhelmingly oversaturated amount of left of center news out there and cease to be successful. And large swaths of comments of people unsubscribing! It's as disastrous a decision as the Mulvaney and Budlight partnership. Makes no sense.
Sad day for Fox? I’ll never feel sorry for that fake news clown network. They’re no better that CNN/MSNBC, just from a right wing narrative. Tucker was their only saving grace, and even himself was a limited hangout.
He doesn’t need Dailywire, though it would be a ‘coup’ of sorts for them. Having his own podcast or Spotify distribution show like Rogan has, would be better.
Bed, Bath and bankrupt dumping the My Pillow( whatever anyone might think of it) while a best selling product. Managers today are ridiculous.
He is well known, well followed and very provocative. He will move to YouTube and continue to soldier on. He is opinionated, but is open to real discussion too. Maybe he can team up with Elon Musk and do something on (red pill) Twitter?
I watched TC's Heritage speech. It was incredible, highly recommend.
Just cancelled my subscription. In the comments box I wrote: Tucker Carlson was the only reason I subscribed. He's gone—and so am I. Ironically, I still have time left on my subscription (nearly a year) so they may have to give me a credit. Wouldn't that be nice? Hope that's the case with everyone.
Well done, Sandy.
Tucker is the only reason I watch Fox News. I like Greg Gutfeld and occasionally watch The Five, but no more. Fox's inferiority complex made them susceptible to MSM Mean Girl tactics. Congratulations, Paul Ryan!!
I just canceled Fox Nation and will also drop Direct TV if they don't have a decent option WITHOUT Fox News.
I watched Tucker for his thoughtful commentary. I sometimes didn't agree but I nearly always learned something. This is exactly the choice that we should have - to be provoked to think -instead of being fed the mindless drivel that comes out a meat grinder and is fed to all channels to "appease the masses." I read the daily from my local Axios and scold them for their biased views. They tell me they need to consider their audience, never understanding the absurdity that I am also their audience. I watched "The Five" tonight for news of Tucker. Greg Gutfeld slyly mentioned the vacancy. It's obvious that they are told not to talk about it. I expect Tucker will land on his feet. I'm not so sure about Fox.
I just received your book from Amazon and already immersed in the wonderful story. I’ll be sure to review it on Amazon this week as well. Btw Major, thank-you for your service. That’s a heck of combat mission career you had. I’m glad you came back alive.
Thank you! I'm happy you are enjoying "Good Times ..." Thanks for the words regarding my military service. I'm indeed thankful that I was spared when so many weren't.
Hey Major Emry, I am half-way through your book and am very much enjoying it. It does bring me back to a different time and place in Nebraska and although seemingly simpler, I can also appreciate it was more difficult and stressful to survive and thrive in. The terms “true grit” and “salt of the earth” frequently come to mind as I read it. I think the romantic touches like them meeting amongst the flypaper floating from the ceiling will stay with me forever. I tried to leave a 5 star review on Amazon but found Amazon suspended my ability to review because I had been putting “Let’s Go Brandon” in a lot of my reviews as a a joke about Biden So, thank-you for sharing your story of that wonderful time and place and know that my family and I are enjoying your book. Thank-you, Major.
Thank you! I laughed about your attempt to leave a review. Just knowing the reason is worth more to me than the rating. Ha! Some folks certainly don't like our exercising our first amendment rights. Some little twerp probably had great fun denying you. Feather merchants! What ya gonna do? The book gets a bit repetitive in the middle, but it picks up again around page 115 and the following section "Bone Digging Days" focuses on my involvement and finishes up the book. Best wishes, Raleigh
I haven't had cable for years and haven't watched him. (There's plenty out there on streaming channels.) I suspect Murdoch fired him, probably to accommodate Democrats in Congress. FOX has been moving further and further to the left ever since Murdoch's kids took over the network. They're headed toward becoming another MSNBC.
I am glad that I no longer have to pay Fox or a sketchy YouTuber in order to watch Tucker every night.
I'm hoping he finds a home on Newsmax.
RIP Fox ratings
Tucker Carlson doesn't need fox but the People need Tucker. I remember when Elvis died and held the headlines in the press for 3 full days. Today our press is pretty much owned by the democrat party so stats like popularity will be different. FOX got rid of two 5***** guys in less than a full week. I watched Dan Bongino all the time too. Neither would fit in with todays fake news media that doesn't report the real news. Tucker and Dan will do fine. FOX could be in big trouble. Look for FOX to put Karl Rove in Tuckers spot and Geraldo in Dan's spot. I don't feel sorry for FOX.
Agree with everything except “Elvis died”.
What about Elvis holding the headlines for 3 days that you don't agree with?
That you implied Elvis was no longer alive. :D
OK You got me on that one. I went into the Military before he did. He got out before I did. My brand new bride and I went to Elivis first movie after he got out, on Christmas day 1960.
Thanks for your service, Michael. I was in also. We were fortunate to have had awesome music when we grew up.
That's a big roger.
Many times over the past couple of years, I turned to my husband and said that they will get Tucker off the air at Fox. That it's only a matter of time. Not because Tucker's show is bad, but because of the way that Tucker challenges power and the elites. I can't think of anyone else who does it like he does. All of the media are servants of the Democrat/Uniparty and the Security State at this point. My guess #1 is his stance on Ukraine, #2 his talk about Joe Biden being a pedophile/showering with his daughter (being very outspoken about that), is my guess, but who knows what it could be.
I don't watch Fox News, only Tucker and Laura but I'll catch Laura on YouTube from now on. Once I finish watching Tucker's programs on Fox Nation, I'm cancelling my subscription.
To me, Fox is really like the rest of MSM. I think of it as one mouth. Some talk comes out of the right side of the mouth, some from the left side of the mouth, but it's all the same mouth.
💯
Thanks for this space.
The collapse of mainstream media 🤩! All of it! We need to be celebrating Tuckers departure rather than bashing Fox 🥳! He’s been released to speak freely on whatever new platform he chooses, maybe Rumble, Locals, Daily Wire, etc. Alternative media is where the truth lives unencumbered by politics, wokeness and censorship and it’s where most informed people are getting their information from these days anyway. I’m personally super excited to watch the MSM go up in flames 🔥!
I gave up on Fox long before it was cool, but I’d still watch Tucker’s monologues on YouTube from time to time.
I’m thrilled anytime I see people decide to stop watching it. Fox has been awful for a long time. Pre-2020 it was bad too.
The speech Tucker gave was amazing. He’ll find an audience no matter where he lands.
My guess is that Pfizer, which spent $2.8 Thousand Million on advertising last year objected to Carlsons growing respect and friendship with RFK Jr, theyre greatest nemesis and laid that on the line with Rupert!
Great clip!! He’s a unique speaker and thinker and I know he will have even better opportunities ahead. I went to TuckerCarlson.com and signed up to be notified about where to find him going forward.
I don’t want to give even Tucker my cell phone number.
I hope he goes in to politics but he's probably too smart. We talk about him as though he isn't worth nearly half a billion dollars. Of COURSE he'll "be okay." Get real.
I stopped watching him months ago based on is irrational and dishonest hostility to Ukraine's desire to have their own nation again after two centuries of Russian tyrrany. Tucker appears to resent that they do not want to form the base of a reconstituted Russian Empire in Europe. Too many outright lies, the latest being "US soldiers are engaging in direct hostilities!" Utter nonsense, system-training missions are not pulling triggers. But nothing was too low for him to use to beat up the Ukrainian cause. It became nutty, and then repulsive as he crowed at every hint of Russian success. I put it down to a level of partisanship that drove him over the edge - call it "Biden Derangement Syndrome" if you like. If Biden supports it, it must be evil. It often is, but this is not one of those times.
On other issues, he was an important voice, but I came to distrust him so much because of his outright lies on the one issue that I gave up on trusting him on anything. False in part, false in whole, as the jury instruction goes.
I respect your position on Ukraine however, as a Vietnam veteran who has 12 friends listed on the very last panel of the Memorial on the National Mall, (it's chronological) I am reluctant to sign onto anything that is not supported by a majority of our citizens, that has never-ending funds for the giant military industrial complex and has no exit strategy. I have no animus toward Ukraine and no love for Russia, but we are funding far more than our share and as a nuclear power in opposition to a nuclear power, it's extremely dangerous. Before my Vietnam service I was certified to carry two nuclear weapons on an F-4E Phantom fighter on a low-level dash from Germany into the Soviet Union to level two cities. I don't wish to get back into a Cold War mindset that risks the end of civilization.
One thing I forgot to mention: The Constitution grants Congress the SOLE power to declare war. A debate in Congress and a vote keeps passions of the moment from overtaking us or having war declared by Presidential Executive Order.
Carlson opposed US involvement in the Ukraine and advised against sending our money and men. The war monger NEOCONS of the GOP RINOS and Democratic Party hate him for that. Finally, as a military veteran like Major Emry, I take any suggestions to send our young men in to combat, personally. I truly wish that those who haven’t served would be more circumspect.
I’m really on the fence with this issue. I support Ukraine in this battle but I heard that Zelensky made the comment that it’s dangerous for anyone to question their efforts (I’m paraphrasing and did not hear this myself) but that one thing has given me pause. That said, I sincerely thank you for your service.
Guys here on this Substack like Old Breed and Raleigh Emry, who are articulate about the risks of wars, give me hope that we can avoid engaging in what for America would be yet another unjust war.
Tucker was absolutely correct in questioning the American $$$$ that was and is being sent to the Ukraine- like why are we paying Ukrainian pensions? We can’t even take care of our own and are TRILLIONS in debt.
Me too. Ukraine was one of the very few issues I could not agree with Tucker.
Like a lot of other commenters, Tucker was about the only thing I watched. Didn't always agree with him but his was about the only independent voice left on television. I was expecting him to leave at some point but am a bit surprised about the timing. I'm sure he had plans on what he was going to do after his firing so I'll follow him on his next venture.
