Fox committing Hari Kari.

Tucker Carlson Has Brian Stelter and Taylor Lorenz Throwing Hilarious Fits About His Twitter Show

Another strong clip. Thanks (again) for posting it.

Yes that was great.

Over 5 million views in a hour and a half (maybe 2 1/2 if that's eastern time)

12.7M Views as of now

I've seen a lot of folks, even those who support Tucker dismiss those numbers. However, the number of views he will get is, IMO much more than he got on Fox News. Twitter gives him reach he never would have had on Fox because those who tune in to Fox know what they are getting and somebody on the center left would not go there. But they might hear him out on Twitter.

Oh he will get way way way more views on Twitter. Not even close. He's already doing it.

You have a reading comprehension problem, BTF? Read what I wrote again, slowly this time.

Man I was just agreeing with you. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :)

Wasn't trying to be an ass, just thought you may have misread my post.

All good.

Actually, I read that he is still under contract into 2025, and as such has to abide by a no compete clause, or risk losing a lot of money.

Tucker is filthy rich. He doesn't care about their money.

I've heard a few tales on that:

1. They called out "competitors" he can't work for. He's not working for any of them.
2. He's not being compensated so he's not competing.

He could move to ND or CA where non-competes are ... illegal and unenforceable. Yes, political polar opposites have that (state) law in common. I once used the ND law to tell a former employer to pound sand.

This will all come down to the specifics in his Non-Compeat which only Tucker and Fox know currently. His Twitter show probably toes the line and Fox is probably trying to move the line.

WATCH: Tucker Carlson Points to Trump Speaking Against the Iraq War as 'The Precise Moment Permanent Washington Decided to Send Him to Prison'

Quote:Episode 2 of Tucker Carlson’s “Tucker on Twitter” show dropped Thursday just before news of the indictment of Donald Trump broke, and in Episode 3 he brings his reaction to the indictment and, now, arrest.

Like most pundits on the conservative side, Carlson believes Trump’s prosecution is politically motivated, and that it’s been inevitable since February 16, 2016, when Trump loudly and without apology called out the “deep state” by saying:

We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction.

As you watch the clip of Trump’s grave offense, watch Jeb! Bush’s face.

Tucker explains:

What just happened was always going to happen. It’s been inevitable since February 16, 2016. That’s the day that Donald Trump made a blood enemy of the largest and most powerful organization in human history, which would be the federal government. Despite what you may remember, it wasn’t anything that Donald Trump said about immigration or trade with China or rapists from Mexico….

[I]nside Washington that was just noise…identity politics doesn’t mean much to permanent Washington. What matters, then and now, is foreign policy, the invasions and occupations and proxy wars; the decisions that determine which global populations will thrive and which will die. The policies that come with trillion-dollar price tags. The ones that, over time, have made the counties around DC the richest suburbs in the world. In Washington, that’s what actually matters.

How do we know? Because unlike domestic policy, when it comes to the types of foreign policy described above:

“Both sides…defend that war relentlessly against all evidence until somebody finally rings the ‘all clear’ bell and they can begin to admit that, ‘Actually maybe it wasn’t such a great idea. We meant well, but it just didn’t work out. The good news is, we’ve learned a lot of important lessons.’ In the end they usually do say something like that…it’s an apology that’s not actually an apology….

But until then, no dissent is allowed. That’s the first rule of Washington. But somehow Trump didn’t bother to follow it. He was from out of town, so maybe he didn’t know it was a rule. Maybe he just didn’t care. Either way, seven and a half years later we can point to the precise moment that Permanent Washington decided to send Donald Trump to prison.

Tucker then calls out the flatterers, the ones who flocked to Trump and then turned on him the moment he lost power: Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, Chris Christie. This episode is a must-watch by all Republicans who truly care about the survival of this country.

Tucker will get suicided eventually
