In April, Tucker Carlson, the most popular show host in American news media, was unceremoniously fired from Fox News.
He has since taken to the platform “X,” formerly Twitter, to continue publishing his own program.
Last week, during the first Republican primary debates, Tucker posted an exclusive (softball) interview with former President Donald Trump.
The episode received 260 million “impressions” within the first day.
Although an “impression” on Twitter only counts as an appearance in someone’s feed, if only one-tenth of those impressions equated to one view, the viewership would still be 26 million people. In comparison, Tucker’s Fox News program, Tucker Carlson Tonight, averaged 3.25 million viewers in March 2023.
The exclusive interview with Trump was a master stroke by both figures. It allowed Donald Trump to get his message across in a long format without actually muddying himself on the debate stage. Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy played, in effect, the role of Trump’s stand-in, but still won the debate in his own right.
Tucker walked away with incredible numbers, even if not as spectacular as the 230 million impressions would suggest.
Yesterday, RT reported that Tucker Carlson has “strongly” requested a meeting with Vladimir Putin, ostensibly to publish as an episode of his new program.
With all these developments, an attempt to decode the former Fox News host’s real role in the media landscape is akin to cracking a modern-day enigma.
Many laud Tucker as a rogue voice, fighting the establishment, using a microphone as a holy scepter.
It cannot be denied that on some critical issues like opposing escalation over Ukraine, Tucker Carlson’s voice is vitally important. But, Tucker Carlson has his own interests, and a background that does not suggest he is some populist hero, or an antiwar dove (of critical importance, he certainly is not on China).
That said, it would be immensely valuable for the West to see an intimate and honest one-on-one interview between Vladimir Putin and Western news media—one that was not intent on painting Putin as the new Hitler.
Maybe Tucker Carlson, though imperfect, is the figure best positioned to do it?
When America’s Commander-in-Chief, Joe Biden, still has not spoken with Putin since the February 2022 invasion, its puzzling that the job defaults to the United States’ most popular current events news host.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
Personally, I just wish they’d get on with World War III because I am past tired of simple, stupid ‘humans’, greedy ‘humans’ and the state of the world as a whole. We have nothing to look forward to. I literally find myself going back in time in my head to an earlier era when this mess that we are all into now, did not even exist and we were the better for it. There was no mass surveillance: cameras pointed in your face everywhere you turn. There was no mass homelessness on such a scale as to be almost beyond imagination but because of the “evil that men do,” as in perpetuate, homelessness, skyrocketing rents, food prices, gas prices; pretty much ALL essentials that people need in order to exist that’s going down now, we are bombarded with poverty, hungry, drug addicted, drunk people who merely hopelessly exist. Why people continue to bring children into this hell of a world is an absolute mystery to me.

Shelby, I also look back to a time when my family was intimately involved with the rest of community so they knew and looked after people were in trouble. And when it was perfectly okay for people to just show up after work (without making an appointment) and if it was dinner time we would just add an extra plate.

Aunty, I think it’s safest to assume that anything you see, read or hear in the mainstream media is a lie until proven otherwise.

I don’t have a TV and get all my news indirectly, but the few times I’ve seen or heard about Tucker Carlson, I admired his spunk. I think it’s significant that he was fired the same weekend RFK, Jr. announced his candidacy for US president.
The timing of these events was also significant. April 19, 1775 was the day of the “shot heard round the world” that signified the beginning of the American Revolution. In more recent history, it was the date of the Waco, Texas massacre of the branch Davidians ordered by then President Bill Clinton’s US Attorney General Janet Reno. It was the date of the Oklahoma City bomb that was blamed on Timothy McVeigh, also during Clinton’s terms, all in different years, of course, but all significant events in US history.
That Tucker Carlson and RFK, Jr. are linked, time wise, to such an important US date tell me these two men are worthy examples of the spirit of independence that some of us believe guided the birth of the US.

From what I’ve read, Katherine, many in the ruling elite belong to supernatural cults and deliberately choose specific dates for important events.
