Most everyone was surprised when Tucker Carlson got his pink slip which reportedly came directly from Rupert Murdoch, top owner of the Fox News cable station. No advance notice or rumor, and even Carlson did not know that the axe was on its way.
Lots of speculation as to why Tucker was eliminated. He was drawing in millions of viewers nightly. He annoyed Democrats and probably made the befuddled Joe Biden even more of a basket case as he heard the speeches and pronouncements drafted for him to read being cut up by the conservative Carlson who considered Biden mentally impaired and historically the dumbest of any American president.
There are opinions that a Murdoch son who has always hung with Democrats pushed his dad to excise Tucker's powerful voice; young Murdoch always got applause and good will from the left wing. In any case, the sending of Carlson to the street was a gift to President Biden who has announced his desire for another four year term.
Tucker, 52, was in his seventh year as host of the nightly, prime time show, and he signed off on a Friday by saying---We will see you again on Monday. But on Monday morning, April 24, the news was announced that Tucker and Fox News had parted company; and Fox News bosses thanked their exiting star for his work and contributions. And then the door was closed and Tucker's fight against "lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink" as he always described it, became his legacy.
Tucker always had plenty of respectable sources as guests on his prime time show. Heavy back up for his belief that 80-year-old Biden is physically and mentally wanting, grew from the words of Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, a former navy admiral who served as President Obama's trusted doctor before his election to Congress.
As a White House physician, Adm. Jackson knew and saw Biden at work as Obama's Vice President--and he has provided Tucker with plenty of fuel. Said Rep. Jackson: "President Biden does not know what he is doing. Others under him pull his strings...he is dangerous and should not be president."
Tucker believed, as do millions of others, that Biden became President after an election manipulated by dishonest and scheming Democrats who used a politicized FBI and a Department of Justice to get the job done. With the media on their side, and Facebook and Twitter doing their bidding, evidence of Biden's criminal conduct and behavior was kept under wraps and concealed from the eyes and ears of voting citizens. Facts about the infamous Hunter laptop are just now slowly coming to light. Carlson, 52, began hosting his prime time hour on Fox News in 2016 after the station fired "Big Dog" Bill O'Reilly for alleged sexual harassment of women. Carlson who had been a Fox employee since 2009 and was doing odd jobs and handling various gigs, discarded his bow tie and the show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," was born, and in short order caught the eye of viewers. In a couple of years, Tucker became the number one cable news analyst with a powerful voice, and some four million viewers tuned in daily to his show, and to hear his political take on Washington and the nation's troubled times.
Democrats called Carlson a "liar" and a "racist" at every opportunity, and the far left NYT and WAPO weighed in often seeking to belittle his conservative talk and to persuade advertisers to abandon him. But that didn't work, and Tucker became a popular and powerful voice for conservatives, Christians and Republicans who resented the "cancel culture" and "woke" nonsense being promoted by LGBTQ activists and the dim -witted President.
Tucker had his favorite topics and among them were Ukraine and its war with Russia; the LGBTQ and its growing list of initials, and the gender-transitioning mysticism infecting society. Of course, he always had time to dwell on the blatant corruption of Joe Biden and his cocaine- addicted son, Hunter.
Tucker frequently asked "What exactly," is America's vital national interest in Ukraine? Why are billions of dollars in cash and in military weapons, ammunition, tanks. airplanes, food and clothing being delivered non-stop to Ukraine. When does it end, reporters have asked President Biden. While nervously shuffling his crib notes, the president told reporters "never"....it never ends.
Carlson has said that it was morally wrong for Russia to attack Ukraine, but the first line of resistance to the Kremlin attack should come from European nations who are allied against Russia and its tyrannical president. America's assistance to Ukraine in the past 14 months is reported to be about $100 billion, almost as much as the the United States invested in the eight year war in Vietnam. Where is the accountability from President Zelenskyy? Carlson has said that he believes that America under Biden is dangerously close to bringing about a third world war in Europe.
As part of many of his shows, Carlson spelled out the Biden family corruption linked to the discarded laptop computer of President Biden's son, Hunter. Messages on the laptop have revealed Joe Biden, when vice president and Obama's point man to Ukraine, served as the "chairman" and "figurehead" to Hunter's overseas business dealings with Ukraine, China and Russia.
Many thousands of dollars from those deals, according to Hunter's messages, were earmarked for the "Big Guy" as Hunter referred to his father. Biden has publicly lied and said that he never discussed with Hunter the Hunter contracts; and that the laptop computer is "Russian disinformation." Former Attorney General Barr has said that Joe Biden is a liar.
On several occasions Tucker offered as a guest on his show, Tony Bobulinski, a former naval officer and business associate of Hunter's, who told of meetings with Joe Biden when he was vice president. Despite the allegations, Bobulinski, has never been interviewed by the FBI, and has said that "Joe Biden is a "compromised president" and should resign.
The corruption and cover up of Joe Biden's criminal conduct and that of his son, said Tucker, makes Watergate look like child's play.
Under Joe Biden, America's borders are wide open. The world heard Biden yell, "Com'on in" and he meant every word.---and immigrants brought with them fentanyl and heroin for use, sale and distribution. Border security is the sole responsibility of the federal government, and Biden has thumbed his nose at the responsibility, and thousands of Americans have perished from the illegal fentanyl.
Since Biden became President in 2021, some five million illegal aliens have walked onto American shores. Most check in with patrol officers and then are sent on their way in buses and planes to a desired destination. Hundreds of thousands more simply bypass sign-in procedures and find their own modes of transportation. A year ago, Tucker Carlson was suspended from Twitter for so-called "misgendering" and "hateful speech." The suspension followed a Tucker segment in which he was critical of Dr. Richard Levine's transition to Dr. Rachel Levine after Richard and his spouse had two daughters. The change was in 2011.
Dr. Levine, a pediatrician, was named in 2021 by President Biden as Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health. Subsequently the paper, USA Today, named him as "Woman of the Year," noting his outstanding work during Covid emergencies. A guest on Carlson's show, Seth Dillon, CEO of the satirical Babylon Bee organization. declared that the Bee had named Dr Levine as its "Man of the Year," and had posted relevant comments on Twitter.
"Can an individual just decide to change sexes and become a woman, and direct that he be called by a female name" said Tucker." I think not, and do not intend to apologize to twitter for anything." Carlson says that "transgendering" is biologically impossible and is an abomination which defies the laws of nature. Subsequently, after Elon Musk took control of Twitter, his suspension was lifted.
Carlson is gone from Cable television, at least for now. But he may well in the future show up somewhere with a microphone in his hand, hated by woke democrats and other crazies, but loved and respected by millions who share his values and love for facts and truth. xxx
