It appears that other neocons are also trying to prevent Tucker from returning, or discrediting Tucker as a journalist. This guy is one who was kicked out of the Trump White House back in 2017, because he was affiliated with some Hungarian political controversy, and is now back, attacking Tucker for the Putin interview by accusing Tucker Carlson of “doing PR work for KGB criminals”. These guys are not helping their future at all by attacking the interview with Putin, and the MAGA people will easily be seeing who stands where.
Oh, Sebastian Gorka is a waste of time. I used to follow him, but he became so arrogant, and is so busy promoting Relief Factor for money that he doesn't have time to think.
@Yvonne Smith I'm beginning to think that boycotts may need to be somewhat more targeted, organized, and visible as "campaigns" of expression. Something distributed not centralized, to lower the risk of retaliatory strikes which many people aren't prepared to face. Focused enough to make a measurable impact that can't be ignored or blown off by media talking heads. Organized just enough to tie the expression of specific dissatisfactions to a boycott action. I'm not sure how this can be accomplished but it feels like more nebulous individual boycotting isn't getting points across. Right now it feels easily ignored or just as easily attributed to dark motivations ("KGB" or "they're just racists" "fascists" "uneducated flyover hillbillies") by a hostile press as it fits their current needs.
It seems to have been working fairly well, from what I have read, @Jacob Petersheim . After Bud Light did the Dylan Mulvaney commercial, millions of people stopped buying their favorite beer, and it sat on the shelves in stores, untouched. At the big motorcycle rally in Sturgis, it showed all of the other booths busy, and the Annheiser-Busch display all piled up and no one around the poor sales guy. People even stopped buying their other beers besides the Bud Light brand. Then Disney decided to replace their characters with lgbtq characters, and people boycotted the movies and cancelled their subscriptions to the Disney channel, and vacations to Disneyland. Wayfair had advertisements for trafficked children, and people stopped shopping at Wayfair. Starbucks is another one who did the Woke act, and got boycotted, and there are more, just not that I can think of right at the moment; but I see it on the news all the time when some company does the woke thing. Oh, that underwear company, Fruit of the Loom, I think. I think that probably even Apple has suffered, although those of us who have Apple devices are probably not giving them up very easily. There are lists that I have seen, although I do not know how much people have boycotted some of the lesser known ones.
Uh huh. As tempting as it probably was to “swing” into a new career, it’s a good thing he stuck with what he’s good at.
I'm a little surprised but shouldn't be, that no one is talking about Tucker's interview with Putin. I do know a lot of folks here already know a lot about Putin, much more than I do. But this interview was fascinating to me. I had so my thoughts I won't even go into, but I did make a point of listening to Tucker after the interview, and his take on it straightened me out, imo, on much of "who" Putin is, wants, and doesn't want. If you didn't watch the interview, what struck me most was that it was more like a one-sided discussion, with Putin in the lead. Tucker is a wise, Christian man, with lots of humility when I think it's called for. He was on what I was say, was Putin's territory and no one in their right mind would want to not be careful. I don't see the "after the fact" videos yet on Youtube or I'd have posted them here. Someone will come across them I hope, but I saw them on Tuckers site. I can tell you one thing after listening to after the interview with Putin, I think Tucker Carlson was right on describing Vladimer Putin, and he's not what some people would have us believe, and neither are his intentions, unless as Tucker says, he is lying which Tucker does not believe. I'm with Tucker.
Oh I'd dance with Tucker any time! He's so cute, who cares if he isn't the perfect dancer I'm so glad he left (fired whatever) Fox so he can be the journalist he wanted to be!
During the interview, this guy commented on what was being said and even showed maps and provided dates so viewers could get a bette grip on things. Kevin was born and raised in Germany and is a pretty good history buff and analyst which makes this video a little better than some I have seen.
I’ve heard and seen a lot of nay sayers when it comes to Carlson’s interview with Putin but what those same people forget is what a JOURNALIST is supposed to do. They’re so used to hearing the droning on of commentary instead of the news that the work of real journalism isn’t even recognized. Now, whether or not I liked the interview isn’t the point. Carlson did nothing that one could consider as traitorous so to me, he was just doing what is expected of a journalist.
I watched most of the interview last night, and will finish it today. It was pretty obvious that President Putin wanted to say what he wanted to say, and the history lesson was interesting, and Tucker explained about that before he aired the interview. He definitely had to walk “on eggshells” over there to be sure he would make it home from Russia again. Over all, I think that the interview went well, and it has already been seen by over 93 MILLION people ! And that is in less than 24 hours, so many more people will be watching it over the next few days. There was talk about whether Tucker would also interview Snowden while he was in Russia, and if he did that as well, it seems to be being kept quiet for now, just like the interview with Julian Assange was. I liked watching Putin speak, even though I couldn’t understand his actual words, but you can see his facial expressions, and also his body language matched up with what he was saying, and he seemed to laugh to himself about some of Tucker’s questions. Putin’s humor definitely showed through , like when Tucker asked who blew up the Nordstream and Putin said “You did !” Tucker came right back with the answer that he was busy that day and it was not him, and then Putin laughed and said, “no, but your CIA did”.
I don't disagree with anything in the video. There was, of course, a bit of double talk form Putin, but that is what politicians do. Americans particularly are not familiar with Russian and European history , and we don't understand what it is like to be invaded multiple times. We haven't been invaded since a little sortie by the British in 1814. NATO was organized as an anti-Russian cooperative and continues to be so. Putin's comment on Minsk was endorsed by Angela Merkel when she said they only agreed with the Minsk protocol to buy time to strengthen their militaries. I don't think Putin had any designs on territory beyond Ukraine when he invaded. He wanted the eastern parts as they are mostly Russian and the Zelenskyy government was allowing persecution of those people by other minorities--mostly Nazi organizations. I, too, was shocked when a Nazi leader from the Waffen SS got standing ovations in the Canadian parliament. Do Americans realize this? Anyway, a good analysis and thanks for posting it @Bobby Cole.
A take that is gaining traction on the interview with Putin and the Biden "news conference" is that it is a sign that the Dems are done with Biden as their candidate. Biden's speech was designed to distract from Tucker Carlson and at the same time expose ol' Joe to the world and the U.S. for who he is. The world population saw Putin and Biden at the same time. Who won that contrast? The open admission of the Special Prosecutor report was the topping on the cake. Add to that, CNN had Biden speech side-by-side with two positive articles on Trump! CNN has never had a positive article on Trump, but now there were two at the same time. It seems that the MSM and the Democrat Party they serve are now done with Biden. If they don't drop or remove Biden, it will be the opening of every political commercial form now on. Congress members are saying that he must be removed since he is not fit to stand trial and is not qualified to handle classified information. For the safety of the nation, he has to go.
The democrats are going to keep voting for Biden even if he is taxidermied and leaned against the podium on a hand truck.
