New in PJ Media:
We still don’t know for sure if Ron DeSantis is going to run. The rest of the field after Donald Trump is a bunch of weak controlled opposition Republicans including Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, John Bolton, and the immortal Asa Hutchinson. In light of all this, the Republican primary debates could end up being a major snoozefest. Tucker Carlson, however, has a tantalizingly different idea: he is considering hosting his own debate, outside of the Republic National Committee framework. Now that could liven things up considerably.
The snag that Carlson is still an employee of Fox News remains, but the Washington Post reported Thursday that if he is “willing to walk away from some of the millions that Fox is contractually obligated to pay him, if that would give him the flexibility to have a prominent voice in the 2024 election cycle.” Bernie Sanders would tell Tucker that he has plenty of money already, so why not? If he does go this route, Carlson could “moderate his own GOP candidate forum, outside of the usual strictures of the Republican National Committee debate system.”
That would be a breath of fresh air, as anyone who remembers the viciously biased performance of Chris Wallace in the first 2020 debate between Trump and Old Joe Biden can attest. Wallace did everything he could to sandbag Trump and let Old Joe get away with a cornucopia of lies, false denials, and false accusations. It was clear that Wallace was angling for the job he soon got at CNN, where he was a spectacular failure, and that he was eager in his debate “moderation” to make the doddering kleptocrat Biden look as good as possible, and the America-First president as bad as possible.
A debate with Tucker Carlson moderating would be an entirely different matter. It opens up the possibility of candidates, for the very first time in the history of modern presidential debates, being asked questions from a patriotic perspective and confronted about issues that the establishment media refuses to discuss. Instead of being led for the umpteenth time to the prepackaged conclusions that the Leftist political and media establishment demands that we accept, there might be an opportunity for candidates to think beyond sound bites and shibboleths and actually engage in some independent thought. Even in a debate featuring such lackluster establishment hacks as John Bolton and Asa Hutchinson, that could be positively scintillating.
There is more. Read the rest here.

John “little Napoleon” Bolton? Mike “Judas” Pence? Asa who? Why are these people entering any race? Let alone against Trump? Nikki Haley doesn’t stand a chance, but at least you can shrug your shoulders and go “meh”.
Absolutely right about how good a debate would be with a moderator whose focus is what’s best for America and American citizens. It’s been a long time before anybody saw Presidential Debate like that.

I’d love to see a debate where Tucker shreds them on their foreign policy, and about US having troops in some 150 countries. Or on their posturing on January 6th
But aside from that, as far as substance goes, I’d love to see a Trump vs Vivek debate. Right now, I’m open to both. The only thing against Vivek is that he let his own company be taken over by the mob, so hasn’t quite shown that he’s prepared to take on them!

Tucker was kicked out of FOX News because he spoke the truth.
George Washington had, very wisely, declared, “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Actually, Tucker was removed from his slot b’cos he had grown bigger than Fox. They couldn’t even tolerate Trump overshadowing them, and now they had one of their employees doing just that
Judge Jeanine and Maria Bartiromo covered the steal in a lot more detail, but so far, nothing has happened to them. Tucker otoh dropped this issue after a confrontation w/ Sydney Powell in 2 days. If the truth is all the election theft coverage, those 2 did that a lot more than Tucker did
Walter Sieruk says
Many months ago , in a FoxNation ep 82 Tucker Carlson interviewed in investigative journalist Julie Kelly about the so called “insurrection” which occurred on January 6th 2021.
In this interview she explained that ”The Biden regime is turn against Americans on the political right.
Those pro-Trump American patriots in Washington DC that day had been ruthlessly denied their basic decent human rights and their US Constitutional rights .
Even to the most vicious malicious murderous extremes possible.
As one young woman, Ashli Babbitt , was shot through a closed door and her was unarmed and non –violent. The other young woman Rosanne Boyland, was beaten by them and chased in a nearby tunnel by them and murder by them. This is North Korea or America. ?
For some people vicious actions of the Capital “police” by how they harmed Rosanne Boyland so terrible that she because unconscious and they attempted to revive her but the Capital police stopped them “ Are they that Capital police of America ? This wicked murderous behavior is more fitting for the Capital police of Communist China.
Kelly speculated that the awful abuse against peaceful American citizens on “January 6th was an excuse to strip Americans of their Constitutional rights. “ Sadly she might be right, after all, there is an old saying that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”

A good number of months ago Tucker had made a much earlier video about that schemed left. wing set up on that terrible day On a Fox News program listed on Fox Nation ep 82 Tucker Carlson interviewed in investigative journalist Julie Kelly about the so called “insurrection” which occurred on January 6th 2021.
In this interview she explained that ”The Biden regime is turn against Americans on the political right.
There relating to Biden and the many leftist judges who are now in power are actually condemning Conservatives Americans for even doubting the legitimacy of the 2020 November election.
This is as terrible as it’s also unjust that people in this country can now be condemned for ideas, “thought crimes.”
This injustice and violation of the American Patriots Constitutional rights and basic human rights on that day and afterwards after Joe Biden took Office is an affront to all that is good, decent just and right.
For example on patriot at the pro –Trump rally even though he didn’t break any laws by was arrested anyway by the Capital police. I use the word “police” loosely when referring to some of those Capital “police.”
That man had the leftist judge sentenced him to prison because he discovered that this man a keyboarded and posted some negative comments about Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and his questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 national election results.
Then Carlson, rightly, said about that “This is America and the US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech.”
That “guarantee” must be meaningless with that Un-American Biden sitting in the White House Oval office and his politically correct judges in power.
It’s unbelievable how corrupt and tyrannical since Biden took Office. No wonder he favors Red China in his international polices .For he must like such dictatorial powers.
In the interview, it was revealed that the only people who were murder at that place at that time had been Trump supporters and the report that a Capital police officer was beaten to death by Trump supporters as a lie and a complete fabrication.
That was probably made up to that fact of two young patriot woman who were killed by Capital “police.” One young woman, Ashli Babbitt , was shot through a closed door and her was unarmed and non –violent. The other young woman Rosanne Boyland, was beaten by them and chased in a nearby tunnel by them and murder by them. This is North Korea or America. ?
For some people vicious actions of the Capital “police” by how they harmed Rosanne Boyland so terrible that she because unconscious and they attempted to revive her but the Capital police stopped them “ Are they that Capital police of America ? This wicked murderous behavior is more fitting for the Capital police of Communist China.
Furthermore that police officer who was falsely claimed have had killed by Trump supporters had actually about a month later by unrelated cause.
Nevertheless Joe Biden , went along with the lie as to how that police officer died and went to viewing putting on an act by shaking his head, This willful and deliberated deception by Biden further reveals what a scoundrel Biden actually is.
This fiction about how that officer died was done to make the Patriotic Trump supporters look terrible and distract the public’s attention away from the brutal murderous behavior of the Capital “police.”
Kelly speculated that the awful abuse against peaceful American citizens on “January 6th was an excuse to strip Americans of their Constitutional rights. “ Sadly she might be right, after all, there is an old saying that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
It should be mad made known that the Department of Justice in have involvement, along with the FBI , they must now be infected with extreme leftism . Those two government organizations are far from the grand institutions that they had been in the past.
Now the FBI is directly involved enticement and entrapment of peaceful Conservative Americans, calling “domestic terrorists.”
One conservative man American was also arrested an imprisoned only being nearby the Patriot January 6th rally , he was outside and didn’t even enter an government building.
One conservative man was unjustly imprisoned because he recanted his conservatives views [thought crimes]
Another man was sent to prison by his probation officer for viewing information on politics the internet.
This is all unbelievable absurd and wickedly dictatorial. This is like its right out of the George Orwell novel entitled “1984.”

It’s hilarious to see how Fox’s ratings have crashed. They’ve lost anything from 30-60%, depending on which viewership one is looking at. I wonder whether all those advertizers who boycotted Tucker will now flock to their prime time to cover them, and if yes, who will they be targeting, now that the bulk of the viewership is gone
All that said, a part of me does feel for Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham, particularly the latter, who’s seen her ratings plummet through no fault of her own. I do admire Greg Gutfeld for taunting whoever the leaker is of the off-air clips of Tucker, w/o mentioning her by name. Smart play by Greg
Honestly, I think that Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Pete Hegseth, Maria Bartiromo, Judge Jeanine, Greg Gutfeld and maybe even Will Cain should just hand their resignations, so that their popularity isn’t dragged down by the shenanigans of Suzanne Scott, Irene Brigante, Lochlan Murdoch and their minions
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Jesse, Laura, Pete, Maria, the Judge, Greg, and Will should all head over to Newsmax or FrankSpeech…
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Or OANN
James Lincoln says
Yes.

The establishment hates Tucker because he is a rebel, a loose cannon, a free thinker, he refuses be controlled. That is what I love about Tucker. Of course I dont watch TV so I will have to catch whatever he does on the internet.
Kenneth Johnson says
Maybe Tucker Carlson should run for Congress,k ??? KEN
VictorMc says
Probably not in my lifetime as I’m old but I would have loved to see Nikki as the first woman POTUS.
I agree it is most unlikely to happen, too many ignorant men in front of her. BUT you never know from one day to the next in politics.

Tucker Carlson Explains How Watching Trump ‘Exploded’ His World Views.
“I’d never thought about it [NATO] in my life. And Trump’s like, why are we funding NATO? And I thought that was a really interesting question,”
“He’d say something that was truly insane, like, the intelligence agencies are spying on me … And then you’d find out, like, a year later, actually, the intel agencies were spying on him.”
Good for Tucker because the rest of the establishment media rushes to debunk everything President Trump says. And later anything and everything PDT said turns out to be true. We are living a lie and Tucker was wise to it therefore he had to be got rid of. Unfortunately for the establishment it is not that easy to keep a good and principled man down. But they will try.
