TUCKER AND YOU

And the Dominion Voting Systems video Fox News and the security state don't want you to see.

Tucker living his best life yesterday in Florida with his childhood sweetheart and wife, Susan. Married for 31 years, they have four beloved kids and sleep with their dogs on the bed in a lovely house in near the beach. What more could a person want? There has never been a scandal about their relationship. Tucker tells the truth and he is a happy man. We should be too.

You might be sick of hearing about Tucker Carlson or like me, you might still be bereft, wandering back and forth in front of the telly at 8 pm hoping like mad it won’t be that awful Brian Kilmeade again — the guy who talks like an aging boxer. And based on his clumsy analysis — that would be a boxer who’s done a few too many rounds with my old friend, George Chuvalo.

Kilmeade, like Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity, represent the perfect Fox news hosts, all in for the GOP no matter how corrupt. None of the three are the sharpest tools in the drawer, and in the news business today that’s a good thing. Loyal only to their paychecks, they act out a bizarre newsroom cosplay rendered daily for a confused audience feeling abandoned by the very country they love. The people who watch Fox are looking as much for connection as truth which is Fox’s betrayal. The network’s exploitation of its own audience makes the late Logan Roy look like a public-spirited humanitarian.

But these talking heads must be reassured that actually educating the public, railing against the collapse of the middle class and the utter capture and corruption of our institutions can never be an enduring cable TV model. With their mall-rat cheap dresses and the kind of high heels most women consider on skanky side, these are costumes they likely change out of before walking out of the Fox building into stylish Manhattan and they reflect their employer’s warped view of middle America. Do not be fooled — it is feeding this viewership to the globalist sharks.

ONLY FANS COSTUMES OR A FOX NEWS DRESSING ROOM?

When the absolute best in the business with the biggest profile and numbers gets canned and becomes the focus of a Murdoch family smear campaign — the message has been received loud and clear. Hence, not a significant peep from any of Tucker’s colleagues. Of course Geraldo, who should be tottering around a memory care facility for liberals, has weighed in hoping desperately someone will call him stunning and brave. You’ll note in the tweet below that Tucker’s critics, indeed anyone critiquing media truth tellers like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi— never go in for detail. So they smear and tweet and carry on enabling the collapse of legacy media, critical thinking and indeed the country.

When MSNBC and Medhi Hassan tried to go granular against Taibbi — Hassan was obliterated by Lee Fang. His assertions against Matt were virtually all wrong and HE was busted for plagiarism. That’s why the attacks are always generalized and mushy.

Meanwhile, Americans in the rust belt die of penury and drug addiction brought about by the advice of McKinsey who offshored their jobs. The vaccine injured fight for recognition and through it all, Fauci’s Covidian cult slithers away — scandals that Carlson spent years exposing.

On Fox itself, everything appears mostly A-OK. The network’s remaining vapid hosts will blather on about drag queens and critical race theory to look busy and there will be a lot of focus on crime and also Ron Desantis, the network’s preferred candidate — but you won’t hear what historians in thirty years will be wanting to understand. How did a country that prides itself on freedom of speech, fairness and God lead the west’s collapse into corporate/bureaucracy-driven-tyranny? Every night, Tucker brought a piece of this puzzle for us to confront and chew over. That is really why he got fired. He did his job too well and we all know it. Even though Conservative in nature — the fair-minded Carlson hosted feminists, democrats, and often average people who were getting screwed over by the odious New Normal.

Last night Tucker broke his silence with a message which, at this writing has more views than the Oscars. (Tweets no longer embed here because the free speech brats at Substack and Twitter seem to still be feuding. So you have a link and a screen shot.

Let’s discuss the information warfare around Tucker’s firing. There is a story that in a speech to the Heritage Foundation two weeks ago he advised prayer to help save the West. This is true. He admitted to being Episcopalian and joked that it is kind of Christianity light and I agree as someone who converted to Catholicism because it is hard. Tucker’s comments are said to have enraged Rupert, who had just dumped a Christian girlfriend, or something like that. It’s a weird story and given Rupert’s aging physical appearance, his face now resembling a sort of relief map of the Himalayas - she must have been very Christian indeed. The glamorous Jerry Hall was likely closing her eyes and dreaming of villas and private jets — which she got when he dumped her recently, by email. Murdoch attacking Tucker’s morals? I don’t think so.

Then, there is the story that Tucker was about to do a show that the network wanted to stop and so he was quit/fired on the spot.

At first people thought it had to do with the absurd settling of the Dominion Voting machines case which thwarts further journalist inquiry into stolen elections and promotes libel chill. But Tucker was one of the few at the network publically skeptical of the claims made by Sidney Powell and he had a huge argument with her about how she was behaving.

An email in the case actually proves that Tucker was pissed at her — as any journalist would be — given that she couldn’t prove her claims. Yes, he calls her a fucking bitch - but they’d had a huge fight about her lack of evidence. So this should have been be good for Fox — right? But somehow exculpatory evidence in the Dominion case is now switched to evidence of misogyny because Tucker used a bad word. It is absolutely laughable. Dominion voting machines are super hackable according to any expert asked — prior to 2020.

THIS IS WHAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO REMEMBER

Here is a screenshot of the show in which Tucker explains why Powell must poney up or be quiet. Click through to the video and article here.

What Carlson said is that the machines are glitchy and have been credibly linked to problems but that didn’t mean that Powell had proof of what she was alleging — that millions of votes were switched and that they cost Trump the election. So Tucker and his staff pressed her to prove her point — on his show but got nothing but pushback.

That's a long way of saying we took Sidney Powell seriously, with no intention of fighting with her. We've always respected her work and we simply wanted to see the details. How could you not want to see them? So we invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour. We would have given her the entire week, actually, and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention.

But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of polite requests. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her. When we checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority, they also told us Powell had never given them any evidence to prove anything she claimed at the press conference.

Powell did say that electronic voting is dangerous, and she's right, but she never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another. Not one.

So now, oddly, comes a very bizarre-seeming former hire of the show, a booking producer of some sort, named Abby Grossberg filing a lawsuit against Fox after being fired. She has the stern, vacuous countenounce of Christine Blasey Ford, the Democrat operative trotted out by the party’s lawfare crew to ruin Brett Kavanaugh. Blasey Ford’ s catalogue of abuses were not credible nor did any of her witnesses back up the claims. But the damage was done and she cashed out a GoFundMe worth a fortune and then disappeared. The GFM platform is the left’s chosen vehicle to affect payoffs made to useful witnesses and whistleblowers without becoming officially involved. Not unlike Hunter Biden’s secret art purchasers. You’ll recall they also used it to shut down fundraising for groups that are a political challenge like our Truckers.

So Abby is doing the rounds saying she heard more bad words, saw the news photograph of Nancy Pelosi’s ill-fitting and revealing bathing suit posted around, and was told to aggressively pursue elected officials who are meant to be held accountable by people like Tucker.

It was reported this morning that her lawyer admits she never met actually met Tucker who works mostly from his studio in Florida. But she is a tactical weapon used by the left to attack populist truth tellers so proximity is irrelevant as long as she can tell her tall tales. Of course she appears in a buttoned-up, Dewey Decimal pink shirt on legacy media clown shows that have been trying to end Tucker for years. The only question I have — coming from decades in actual news rooms — is who hired this person? She feels like someone who never would have wanted to work there anyway, like a Project Veritas subject only in reverse. Producer Justin Wells must have been desperate. Read the statement from her lawyer — hard to believe this would even get traction but it does help the Murdochs — so she may get a payoff she doesn’t deserve because it suits them in their fight with Tucker. Likely a Go Fund Me will appear at some point to pay her loyal Democratic party lawyer.

"Ms. Grossberg was isolated, overworked, undervalued, denied opportunities for promotion, and generally treated significantly worse than her male counterparts, even when those men were less qualified than her," the lawsuit said.

Christine Blasey Ford’s Big Moment

Buttoned up. Businesslike and full of grievance. That’s how the Democratic Party likes its female operatives and as a feminist and longtime news professional I find both of these women abhorrent.

So what’s the real reason. The uni-party lead by BlackRock have decided that Tucker’s monologues and reporting are exposing way too much — Ukraine War failures, January 6th lies, green tyranny and the corruption within the Biden family. It’s being reported that BR owns a slice of Fox News and brave truth-telling is not allowed in the new America controlled by what CJ Hopkins calls GloboCap.

Tucker will likely be victorious — even though they will try to bankrupt him and in the process silence his important populist voice. But he’s praying and that is something they can’t take away.
