Tucker is the elite-level "everyman", the well educated "grit". Perhaps his own family situation growing up leveled him out, gave him a more realistic viewpoint than what is normally seen by the La Jolla crowd.

He would make an excellent VP choice if he wasn't building a new network.

I pray he has the sense to assemble shows on his new "network" such as Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, PBD, Tim Pool, pull it all together under one roof. He would create a billion dollar evaluation overnight.

I pray that what he is putting together becomes the future, and helps render asunder the old guard.

"Tucker says, “you can tell a man by his dogs.” --> Yikes! We're on our fourth generation of Goldens. What does that mean?

Alex Jones showed Tucker a video of FJB kicking his dog.

Right. I reckon that's how he broke his toe a few years back and that's also why his dogs are biters.

Kicking your dog is not the way to guide a dog.

Yes, adorable, over-exuberant, always willing & loving meatheads.

Kid Rock gets it. I'm not a huge fan of his music, but I sure do like his style, and I do have a "chillin' the most" flag hanging off my patio in the back yard, right next my hammock.

I listened to his interview by Megyn K while at work last night.

First thing this AM I signed up.

So far this year I've cancelled my paid subs to:

Jimmy Dore (I got tired of his 'guest host' being there pretty much all the time). I had been a paid 'Gold' sub since 2015.

Breaking Points: Again, I was one of the first subscribers when they went full Indie. But I've grown tired of Krystal's MSNBC lite act and Saagar being so deep in the pockets of the MIC.

Michael Tracy: The LAZIEST man in journalism today. Plus, he's really not that bright.

There's a couple of others, but TBH I'm suffering subscription exhaustion.

Subscription fatigue, I feel your pain. I had the misfortune of losing my wallet last month, so cancelled my credit card, which cancelled all my auto-pay subscriptions. It's been refreshing. I reached the point where I didn't even remember what I was paying for. So now I am selectively adding back a few. Oh, then I found my wallet. Turns out it was right where I left it.

Update: I just subscribed to TC’s streaming service. And so the pattern repeats. I’m a sick man! 😆

The onrush of information makes it easy to miss what's going on.

What's going on is that Biden is trying to throw Trump, his main opponent, in jail.

Welcome to Guatemala with nukes.

He's got an interview with Big John Daly which is a gem. Love that guy.

Good interview, perhaps a tad too long. Kid Rock is honest and entertaining. He takes a back sweat to Ted Nugent though. Up here in Canada Coors Light has always been numer one.

Tucker interviewing Uncle Ted would be a howl. 😂

Jim Lane, I could not agree more.

I signed up for Tucker's new venture first thing this morning. I am really excited.

I am just an old suburban lady, who has loved Tucker for years. I even have a sweet cat named after him.

I appreciate you bringing us this news. I did see Megan's show with Tucker last night.

Tucker Carlson reportedly made tens of millions with Fox and signed a non competition clause in his contract. He admitted to taking much of his Fox staff with him in a radio interview today with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Tucker claimed in the interview to be motivated by free speech principles.

If there was a non competition clause, it sounds like Tucker is in violation of it, and Fox has a lawsuit in the high nine figures.

Now back to comments about Kid Rock, sunglasses, and tough guys with dogs...

Without knowing the terms and the duration of the noncompete clause, it would be impossible to say. Also if his programming content is significantly different than what Fox has, that’s not competition. Our opinions are intellectual property. And Kid Rock, John Daly, Alex Jones, Dana White, etc. good conversations. Looking forward to more. 👍🏻 The only thing I might “qualify” with respect to Tucker’s dog comment is I judge people not by the dogs they keep but how well they treat and care for their dogs.

Sasha, it's actually called "Tucker Carlson Network" And it looks good so far!

I “heard” Tucker got investment to start this.

Not sure why he needed the investment, but ok. 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Kid Rock is wearing sunglasses throughout, which must be a musician thing (although I would prefer to always wear them myself).”

Why Sasha? Do tell please!

“Tucker says, “you can tell a man by his dogs.” I so agree.”

Can you elaborate please? You can do it in private if you don’t want to offend some of your best benefactors 🫶🏼🕊
