I never used to watch Fox News- which would always catch my left-of-center critics of guard when they would mouth the cliched accusation of being another "clueless Fox News viewer." So I never saw his segments, just his shorts and clips online. But especially his good comebacks when he was speaking somewhere or on a panel- such as when an Aussie journalist tried to twist his words to fit her narrative, and he set her straight.
However, he got canned and went on his own, and I saw him less and less. However, it seemed that he started to have more fringe guests that, yes, would talk about subjects that were not getting talked about, but also some rather conspiratorially-fringe guests that made me think he was just adding some spice to clicks and views which IMO was summed up with his interview with "historian" Daryl Cooper who ended up being just the tip of an much stranger iceberg.
So I can see why he may not want to go with the flow like everyone else, but he may want to use a little more prudence in who he has on, or what he stands behind.
Great thoughts, as always. The Tucker-Cruz interview/debate has soured me quite a bit on Tucker. Like I said in our podcast, I’d be glad if he moved back into more domestic issues. Otherwise, it seems like he really is shilling for some foreign interests. Besides being weaselly, it’s just not that interesting.
I have always liked Tucker Carlson, but lately he seems to be going off the deep end to (maybe) make himself relevant or just out of habit, as mentioned here. He has been helpful towards tearing down the many lies the left has brainwashed the people into believing in this country.
While there are still a lot of people who still believe that nonsense, I think we are at the stage where we need to concentrate more on building up the truths for those who are skeptical. It's still good to keep attacking the dishonesty, but I think most people have finally realized that the left-leaning institutions are not pedaling truth. If we now work to reinforce the truth, the lies will have a much harder time to grow into the monsters we had during the last administration.
I used to pay attention to this bird... now, I generally skip him, since he revealed himself as a Jew hater.
I might make an exception for a guest I have a particular interest in.
Many of these "interviewers" use control of their platform as a weapon, and edit out portions of the "interview" not to their taste, or use the volume control to over ride the person speaking so they can not make their point. Going to an "interview" with an unfriendly or abusive hose is an excursive in masochism, almost as bad as watching it. 😋😋😋
Now, first, let me say that I don't watch the man, never have.
That said, it seems to me that there's a place for the playing of that role, and I'm pretty sure that it's a role. Allow me to explain:
He's grade school.
When you're first learning how stuff works, you go to grade school. You also watch things like Mr. Rodgers. Once you've learned some things, you move on to middle school, Mr. Rodgers seems a bit pedantic, and you learn that some of the things you were taught in grade school were over simplifications. You learn a little bit more about the nuances, along with learning things that you had to have the background knowledge to be able to understand.
Then you go on to High school, where Mr. Rodgers seems horribly pedantic and quite annoying, More nuances are learned, more things that you needed building blocks to understand are learned.
Then there's college or the college of hard knocks and self taught. Suddenly you're learning that a lot of the things that you were taught in school were either special case stuff, or just not so. We were taught for instance that the speed of light is a solid constant, never changing. Well, the truth is that it does change, it's affected by gravity like the speed of sound is affected by density of medium. "Woh, mind blown!" You can't go back to grade school and learn new things, but you needed those things even when not quite right, in order to move on.
You don't expect the grade school teacher to lead forces of intellectual rebellion, much less real rebellion, or civil war, whether violent, or "mostly peaceful." That's not what they're for. Yes, you grow out of them, but they were still needful.
In the same way Carlson is not going to LEAD a revolution, whether a "Reagan Revolution," a "Color Revolution" ala the middle east, or a real no shit revolution, AKA a civil war. He's still useful as a primer, for people who are on the fence.
People who spent their lives believing everything that came out of "Authority's" mouth, can't start with a guy that says "OK, Look Mr. CIA spokesman, we already know you're a criminal, that everything that came out of your mouth for years is a lie. Now we're going to examine how we throw your ass out, and either lock you up or shoot you." That will hit their wall of disbelief so hard it shatters the bullet, like a frangible on steel plate.
Instead you need something that starts with "I would like to trust you" (because that's where they're at) "But, hey, what happened here?" If the presenter seems as incredulous as they are, it helps them mentally get that wall of disbelief taken down, bolt by bolt, and plate by plate.
To continue the school and growing analogy, eventually you become a leader or a SME (Or both.) You become a parent. Suddenly, Mr. Rodgers doesn't seem like such a ridiculous guy as he did when you were in high school. In fact, while his presentation style is not aimed at you, you can see how it works with your kid, and maybe that ol' boy isn't as dumb as you once thought he was. Oh, you still don't want him to lead your campaign to change the world, or even your corner of it, but... Damn, the boy has a place.
Superb post by J. Antonio Juarez and Pastor Evan McClanahan.
“Nationalist/populist movement needs to lay out terms of battle: how we got here, and how we win. Nihilism became the default worldview of multiple generations.”
Nihilism always means atheism and hatred of our Judeo-Christian political origins. New England Calvinist John Adams often stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People.” The Christian religion is the basis of our political culture. Antithetical philosophies, e.g., red-green (Socialist-Islamist) movement of the Left have a shared goal: utter destruction of American Christian culture of faith, family, freedom, and religious tolerance. red-green alliance is in practice red-green-black without any racial component. Red (Socialist) and Green (Islamist) are opposites on the color wheel and combine to make Black (anarchist-nihilist).
Carlson is at best disingenuous with constant platforming of anti-American Jew haters.
I'd like to come to Texas to hear Evan and Antonio preach :)
Some of my early career mentors in the 1980s were the engineers charged with developing and testing countermeasures to Soviet weapon threats. To a one, they admitted it was their official understanding that the Soviet Union’s ICBM arsenal and delivery systems were inoperative rusted out junk. The so-called “cold war,” if it was ever real in the first place, was already over after the Cuban Missile Crisis when Kennedy called Khrushchev’s bluff. If those of us paying attention to modern media understand that we are being “managed” by it and not informed, then why would we assume it was any different fifty or seventy-five years ago? The WWII propaganda machine didn’t dismantle when allied victory was declared. It was just getting started.
I stopped reading at Christianity is the "one and only moral and correct worldview." Jews? Not okay? Every moral that you think is based on Christianity is Jewish.
Christians and Jews share much in terms of worldview, but obviously there are differences. To even say something like “Every moral that you think is based on Christianity is Jewish” is frankly nonsense. Christ personified grace and mercy. The ceremonial laws no longer apply, for example. There are a lot of differences. BTW, Muslims should believe their religion fully shapes their worldview and Jews should think their religion shapes their worldview. That Christians would dare to prioritize their faith in America should not be a surprise.
The further problem is that other religions share that same moral worldview. What distinguishes Christianity is not its moral worldview, but its theological underpinnings.
In blog episode #2, I noted Auguste’s reference to Raymond Ibrahim’s "Sword and Scimitar." We need an episode devoted to it. The Christian West and Islam have clashed since mid-7th century, when the Roman emperor rejected Prophet Muhammad’s order to reject Christianity and convert to Islam, unleashing centuries-long jihad against Christendom. Jihad picked up steam in the 1960s and has notched enormous success in Western Europe, achieving effective control over Britain—certainly over greater London—via politically powerful 20% Muslim population.
We are “the West” because Islam pushed Christianity permanently out of North Africa, Persia, Asia Minor (Turkey) and the Levant, historically all Christian. Islam also temporarily controlled Serbia and parts of Hungary. My 2nd key takeaway was Auguste’s comment: “Tucker really is shilling for some foreign interests. Besides being weaselly, it’s just not that interesting.” American patriots should never align with foreign enemies. While China is our most significant strategic rival, Iran remains an enemy. Since the 1980s, Iran has staged weekly rallies condemning USA as “Great Satan” and burning American flags; and killed 608 US servicemen in Iraq through lethal roadside IEDs. Gen. Flynn is certain Iran was behind at least one of the two assassination attempts on DJT.
A nation state has permanent interests (its own). Allies may be long-term but won’t be permanent. Israel and USA currently have one big shared interest (see Pastor Evan’s Venn diagrams :), e.g., nullifying Iran’s nuclear ambitions, likely reinforced by Trump’s brilliant strike—absolutely the right thing to do. If in future our interests diverge from Israel’s, then so be it. However, permanent Israel haters make their obsession the alpha-and-omega of US foreign/domestic policy to the exclusion of all else. That negative policy cannot be the forever foundation of American polity.
The all Muslim development EPIC City would be built on a 402-acre site 40 minutes from Dallas. Project is likely funded by Gulf States like Qatar. As to Sharia law, Tx. Governor Abbott declared, “Sharia law is not allowed in Texas; nor Sharia cities; nor 'no go zones' which this project implies."
Two US cities are already under effective Muslim control: Hamtramck, MI and Paterson, NJ. History shows that 5-15% is sufficient for control of a city or region by a disciplined minority, e.g., St. Petersburg, Russia in November 1917 when Bolsheviks seized power.

Much of the MSM turns out to be a psyop. You have to vet your sources carefully, and as Regain said "Trust, but verify."
If they fail verification more than once, their whole narrative becomes suspect.

It all makes sense if you just recognize that he is in show business.
He giggles too much .
Moral failures that we are unable to shake (yet) are a fact of human life.
That's why we have the sacrament of confession
He’s speaking for us and baffled that things are THIS BAD in Washington.
It is really baffling. i mean, who knew that our country is run by Israel through aipac?
We are slaves to foreigners.
I’m baffled too.
