As long as you properly "frame" Tucker (in this case, reminding everyone of his anti-Israel and suddenly pro-Iran stances), I have no problem with you reposting his content.
Friendly reminder: Tucker loves the people of Israel and has vacationed there with his family. However, he is not supportive of the Israel government and their over-involvement, in his opinion, of our country's foreign policy.
Cruz is an elected official who's views are meant to be investigated and potentially challenged as he shapes / makes government policy. Funtes is more like a Gen-Z David Duke.
So? So Tucker should not push back on any non-govt official, no matter how far outside the Overton Window their views may be? Most people would disagree.
I don't mind reading articles or posts by people with whom I don't agree on every or even most issues. But I have to trust their fundamental good judgment and interest in pursuing the truth. I can no longer trust Carlson's judgment or even his sanity after he gave a platform to someone who argued that Churchill, not Hitler, was the "bad guy" in World War 2 and never even challenged his guest's assertions. His latest remarks about Dietrich Bonhoeffer were also mind-bogglingly stupid.
more important imo, who is: Sean Curran, the Director of the U.S. Secret Service, was in charge of the security detail during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.
Curran was the Special Agent in Charge of Trump's Protective Detail at the time of the incident and oversaw the 85-personnel team responsible for his security.

how did a twerp like Crooks get on that roof in plain sight, stay on that roof in plain sight, was spotted with rangefinder before getting on that roof. AAAANNND get off 8 shots before being neutralized. 8 shots he fired.
I was once a Tucker fan. Not anymore. Turns out he had an antisemite living in his brain. That he now defends Iran is beyond the pale. Worse, he has thousands of followers who he is infecting and will be associated with us. However, that does not mean he is always wrong.
Jews may not run the world, but when you look at key positions of power in government, finance, media, and Hollywood who do you mainly see in disproportionate numbers to their population? Asking for a friend.
Thank you for your response that does not involve an insult. What is Israel supposed to do when they have a death cult on two borders wanting to erase them from the face of the earth? Hamas executes their own. They use civilians as shields. It is called self-preservation. It is the opposite of civilizational suicide happening in western Europe and now in NYC.
Like you there were many things about Tucker I used to enjoy. He was a great interviewer. However, whenever he started in on military stuff, I felt he was ill informed, inexperienced, and had some ideological bias I couldn't pin down. Rather obvious what it is now. To support the tyranny in Iran which focuses on destroying the U.S. and Israel and making the whole world Islamic is beyond reason. Won't listen to him anymore but it's always fair to discuss his reporting.
Being against our tax dollars funding a collective punishment war against mothers and children is not anti-semetic. Many jews have also protested the barbarity of the IDF - you just don't read about it much in the captured legacy media. To conflate an anti-war position with anti-semitism shows a very shallow mind.

So much for your ‘spread honey instead of vinegar’ attitude. You were rude in your post and Manuel is allowed to post his view, which is based on truth.
As of now it looks like Robinson acted alone. Crooks, however, is very suspicious. He was taken out by snipers immediately suggesting they not only knew where he was, but perhaps WHO he was. No interviews with childhood friends or classmates, no interviews with his parents or grandparents. He could have been groomed, like Ryan Routh in Fla., and even LH Oswald.
Totally agree. Unfortunately it's pretty easy to get a shot off against any random public figure, so it is totally believable that Robinson acted alone. A President is a whole other thing entirely.
It is one thing to silence someone and another to call their opinions and judgement into question. Some few folks may be generally reliable except for certain topics, but when a public person gets important things so very wrong, a reasonable listener will not rely on that person's word on any topic without extensive verification.
Perhaps I am wrong but my memory tells me the first Islamist terrorist act against American was the year long hostage takeover of American embassy workers. That it was a devastating year under Carter who seemed a feckless president during an unprecedented slump in American economy since the Great Depression. We had so little hope.
Guess that whole episode was Israel/ Americas fault.
Carter dems didn’t have anything to do with it. As I recall it was also the beginnings of the great climate awakening. The ads of the American Indians slow rolling tear, turns out the actor was Mexican, but yes it worked- I never littered again- if I had done I don’t recall.
By that time the Marxist hippies had begun their slow March through the institutions. And the great guilt trip was in full swing. My sister in graduate school in philosophy retells being surrounded by such students and asst professors.
By the way don’t ever worry about news about Tucker from me. It has been painful to watch his spiral but better to know than not.
And, I am glad to hear anything about Butler. That in my eye was a conspiracy unlike the Israel- TPUSA blah blah blah. Or even the Epstein obsession.
We all recognize that our government is not what we see in the movies.
As far as the embassy takeover by Iranian militants, the cause was that the US had supported the Shah who tried to modernize Iran. The Islamists hated him and his cooperation with the West. When he contracted Cancer, the US allowed him asylum for health care reasons and would not send him back to Iran after the Islamists took over. Carter did the admirable, humanitarian thing and incurred the wrath of the Mullahs. Ironically, Iran is the one reasonably modern country in the Middle East ( except for its leaders and government) and derives its strength and power from that modernization.
We don’t need less speech - we need more. It’s about time people on the right quit cancelling one another because we disagree on issues. There is great benefit in debating and discussing these issues. We may ultimately agree to disagree, but silencing them is never the right answer. We are no better than people on the left attempting to cancel or silence us and become them!
"I would say they, along with Tyler Robinson, had some “help” getting from Point A to Point B."
While I'm sure it can and does happen, it's still very possible that these kids flipped on their own. I recall as a teenager (back when dinosaurs walked the earth) being pretty enamored of liberal to socialist ideas because of the way they were presented but eventually shifting to a more conservative outlook such that my first Presidential vote was for Ronald Reagan. I don't recall anybody sitting down and attempting to explain why I should change, it sort of happened just by being surrounded by family and other adults with more conservative views. Crooks might have been influenced by somebody who didn't even know they redirected him to be violently anti-Trump. I do think it's more likely Tyler Robinson got radicalized by his lover and his friends.
Tangentially, the biggest takeaway I got from the JFK files release is that Oswald was definitely on the radar of the FBI and CIA, making it likely the information got buried mostly out of embarrassment more than it would reveal any specific plot.
One issue with Oswald which has be buried in most documentation (hat tip to Stephen Hunter for highlighting) is that the FBI when testing Oswald's "rifle" they had to shim the scope mount for it to properly hold zero.
The keystone of democracy is free speech. Whether its Tucker, Charlie, Trump, AOC, or Mandami, you can disagree and express counter arguments. If you don't listen, you live in a bubble where violent thoughts and [rarely thank God] actions breed.
Shortly after the assassination attempt, I heard (don't remember where) an interview with a Butler County Sheriff's deputy. He had been an ordnance man in Iraq. He inspected the IED in Crooks's car, and said it had been professionally constructed. Along with the pie wedge profile that Crooks knew and used to get as close as possible to his target, the reports that he had been seen at the range shooting with an older man, the failure to secure the building roof, etc., it seems to me that Crooks had help, and that help most likely had a badge in his/her pocket. There is some deep, deep rot and Bondi, Patel, Bongino and company are nowhere close to eliminating it.
While fragments of Tucker Carlson's investigation have entered mainstream awareness, no other organization has attempted to synthesize the evidence as comprehensively as he has.
I believe Tucker offers valid perspectives that may not appeal to everyone, but it's crucial to consider multiple viewpoints on matters where discovering the truth is essential—not just accepting what we prefer to believe. Tucker also maintains significant contacts within the government. We cannot assess their potential biases or conflicts of interest since their identities remain undisclosed.
Therefore, it's reasonable that many Americans would want clarity regarding motives and the possibility of additional involvement in the failed assassination attempt.
The FBI's lack of transparency could stem from holdovers from previous administrations who remain loyal to opposing ideologies or who are primarily concerned with self-preservation. While disclosing certain details might fuel speculation or make the bureau appear incompetent, it may be time for the government to release findings and address the questions raised by Tucker and other journalists.
Notably, the FBI’s hazardous response team handled clean-up at the scene. Typically, a crime scene where a life is taken is preserved extensively to satisfy legal scrutiny, let alone public inquiry. It’s also noteworthy that a similar rapid clean-up occurred after Charlie Kirk’s public assassination—within approximately 48 hours, workers were observed power-washing, dismantling walkways, and pouring new concrete, effectively sterilizing the area shortly after the investigation began.
These observations about the unusual cleanup procedures align with legitimate public concerns about investigative transparency and should be taken into consideration.
Tucker, like Candace, has become Isreal-centric: All things must revolve around the tiny island in the middle east anchored to western values. Candace has gone over a cliff, Thelma and Louis style, but there is still hope for Tucker. He interviewed Walter Kern not long ago and Isreal was never mentioned. His beef with Ben Shapiro could be resolved with a good faith debate, but he won't do it. Tucker helped me find my way out of the leftwing malaise I was stuck in with his logical breakdowns of their virulent hypocrisy. But he has lost me with his middle east crazy takes. The Fuentes interview was bad because Charlie Kirk wouldn't have wanted it. Though he did push back on Fuentes blatant antisemitism, Tucker and Charlie were friends, so I see it as a betrayal. We'll see what happens.
As long as you properly "frame" Tucker (in this case, reminding everyone of his anti-Israel and suddenly pro-Iran stances), I have no problem with you reposting his content.
Friendly reminder: Tucker loves the people of Israel and has vacationed there with his family. However, he is not supportive of the Israel government and their over-involvement, in his opinion, of our country's foreign policy.
Tucker is a good interviewer.
Yeah, I respectfully disagree. He was famously hard on Ted Cruz, and he did not push back at all on Fuentes' ridiculous comments about Stalin.
Sometimes the best way to expose how crazy / terrible a person's views are is to just let them speak and not push back on them.
That's one way to do it, sure. But the inconsistency is glaring.
Cruz is an elected official who's views are meant to be investigated and potentially challenged as he shapes / makes government policy. Funtes is more like a Gen-Z David Duke.
So? So Tucker should not push back on any non-govt official, no matter how far outside the Overton Window their views may be? Most people would disagree.
I sneak and read The Huff Post when I am alone in the restroom.

There's a huge difference between being an antisemite and being against support for Israel, my friend.
Not when your criticism involves Jews running the world. There is a lot more going on than criticism of Israel.
Jews may not run the world, but when you look at key positions of power in government, finance, media, and Hollywood who do you mainly see in disproportionate numbers to their population? Asking for a friend.
Jews are 0.2% of the population. Not 2%, but 0.2. I think blaming the Jews is a reach too far.

Yeah, but most of his “followers” will be able to deduce, as you did, that something now is “off” with him. He’s losing the credible viewers.
Manuel, The Free Press has a jug of your kool-aid on ice. Go over there with your namecalling?

The silence surrounding these acts is deafening.
Well it was Biden’s horrible FBI, SS, DOJ in charge. Nothing they did surprised me in their corruption and incompetence.
Totally agree. Unfortunately it's pretty easy to get a shot off against any random public figure, so it is totally believable that Robinson acted alone. A President is a whole other thing entirely.
Boy are you dumb.
A man of few words. I like it!
getting beyond Tucker controversy..... way too many FBI coverup activities to dismiss and memory hole this attempt.
Listening to it now. Glenn Beck covered this as well.
Remember, Tucka has the same 1A rights as we do, and frankly, he has a much better record than almost everyone else.

Saying he’s off the rails is not the same as trying to silence him.
Perhaps Tucker has been radicalized for Iran?

Modernization, yes. But the Shah was not a human rights model. Maybe the culture is not amenable to any government except authoritarian.

Watched this morning, still don't understand what trial are they referring to.
Thank you Sasha, as always you are the best!
Bannon on now claiming some people are trying to stir MAGA pot
that's my take also. All these figures are desperate for clicks. So if they have to take a spin down Anti-Semite alley they'll do it, for the clicks.

You're right, there are no "coincidences".
