You did a kind thing by publishing this. Tucker indeed is a talented writer and this is a heartfelt tribute to his father.

What an incredible bio, and of course I heard it in Tucker's voice. I wish him, his family, and all his father's friends comfort and peace.

Sasha. I rarely comment on your stories. I am often too busy to even get through the day.

But, please stop explaining yourself when you post a Tucker Carlson story or podcast. It's your damn channel and you can do whatever you want. If some don't like it, let them go!

And BTW, Tucker, as talented as he is, does not always push my button. But he is genuine. Like you!

Hello, but I understand that explanation does help shed more light, perhaps light that might not be seen by many others tuning in. Defending Tucker as well as others like Megan Kelly and Dan Bongino, I think they all need our defending. What about Glenn Beck? He has been a shining light for a very long time, its all great work and for what's best for our country.

I agree with you fully regarding each of those you mention. I finally got rid of cable when Fox let Tucker go. And also Bill O'Reilly. Conservatives have many sane voices to listen to and Tucker is one of the best.

Fortunately we have Sasha now too. And she can really cut to the quick with straight forward, been there, done that credentials.

I firmly believe we are in our "Second Revolution." The last being fought 250 years ago. And not a moment too soon as we can see with the DOGE results. Talk about taxation without representation!!

I think Tucker is still what he was a partisan speaker, but Democrats have them as well.

Kent Brown's avatar

Sure he is, I agree, by partisan you mean someone that has conservative economic views, strong support for the Constitution and Philosophy found in the Declaration of Independence, he knows the difference between a Democracy and a Democratic Republic, so yes, he speaks to all those issues so tell me what the Democrats stand for?

The problem with me is his love of Putin and authoritarian dictators all because they hate Democrats.

"I have moved beyond needing everyone to agree with me on everything. I’ve also moved beyond the need to dehumanize people who do not agree with me and make their own choices about what interests them." Beautiful statement, Sasha!

A beautiful tribute to a brilliant man who overcame his rough start in life to become a loving father to his children. What grit!

There ARE men like this out there, still.

I raise a toast to them! Feminists be damned.

There's someone who should clearly have a biography published, and a movie as well.

I can see where Tucker gets his character and philosophy from.

Thanks Sasha.

His father's business that the "family never fully understood" also helps explain how Tucker knows so much about world affairs. He often seems to see behind the curtain.

"...he's a very talented writer..."

Look who's talking.

Takes one to know one.

Stop the presses! Pot calls kettle black!

Terrific, Sasha. Would have missed this Sasha, if it wasn't for you. What an amazing man and role model. That little Swedish girl had no idea, I suspect, of the gift she gave to mankind--and gift that has continued to give. Offers valuable insights into the inner workings of Tucker Carlson. Thank you! (P.S. your reading of the NewYork Times article about you was also intriguing, especially the side comments. Best wishes from one "old hag" to another. Keep up the good work 👏)

An incredibly poignant obituary of a really interesting man. God Bless Dick and the whole family.

“He had an outlaw spirit tempered by decency”

Love this line from Dick’s obit. Perhaps because this resonates with me, and I suspect many other free thinking Americans.

And I feel that same spirit in Tuckers posts and interviews.

The obit was beautiful and in true Tucker style … the line about his ‘wife departure’ speaks so much more for another time. I love Tucker and have from the time I started delving into US politics. I’m happy to see you share his show and writing.

Amazing life. To have experienced so much difficulty but to apparently have focused on the positive. So sorry for your loss, Tucker.

My father also died on March 24, albeit 6 years ago. It is always a tough day. Perhaps March 24 is a date that God chooses some of his greatest men to come home.

I've followed Tucker Carlson closely for well over 15 years and have immensely admired his work. So thank you for publishing the obituary he wrote for his Dad, as I hadn't seen it anywhere.

Oh - and good catch on his steely reference to his 'father's first wife's, who is most definitely also his own mother. But, then again, she literally abandoned them,cao I get it.
