(00:00):
So the big news of the weekis the firing of Tucker Carlson by Fox
and immediately, I believe the veryfirst night they saw a decrease in viewership
by seven hundred thousand, which you'relike, wow, it's a lot it
did. That's that's the kind ofimpact that Tucker ratings. You know,
(00:23):
how high his were compared to whatthey're doing now and the show that they
have on and Jack. It's Idon't know who's made a dumber mockery of
themselves, Bud Light or Fox News, but for you know, as the
way AOC put it to d platformTucker Carlson over what over the fact that
(00:52):
he now all of a sudden,by the way, the people who all
the women who make allegations again himand one of those women she's never even
met him. And he wasn't firedfor that. He was not. It
was just said that he was ajerk to some people, or he was
I don't know. I don't believeanything I'm hearing coming out. It's all
(01:15):
trash, it's all garbage. Idon't believe that about Tucker. But you
know, this is now I willsay, the irony of getting fired on
the same day as Don Lemon gotfired. There's something to be said for
that. Now that's just that's justcoincidentally funny. But you know, you
had a Tucker was the pillar ofFox. What in the world, What
(01:42):
in the world other than the dominionsettlement would have caused this Fox to throw
away their most popular watch program andTucker Carlson was by far the most watched
show on cable TELEVI What Jack?What the hell's going on? And d
(02:06):
platforming now seems to be all therage, you know, d platforming and
that's how they're going to get aroundcalling it what it really is, which
is toutolitarian censorship. But dude,Fox News has made a grave, grave
mistake. And I don't it's itjust doesn't make sense to me. Bud
Well Anheuser Bush. They said,you know, we made the dumbest move
(02:29):
of the year. Our shareholders sawthe value of their investments plummet by billions.
Bud Light is down seventeen percent.What could be worse? Update?
Fox News says, hold my beerright, literally, hold my beer yet
watch this and you know you saidthat that time spot saw a dip of
(02:52):
six to seven hundred thousand. Howbig is that that's how much Anderson Cooper
gets in a month at CNN.That's a lot of use. And and
maybe that's like comparing apples to chimpanzees. I don't know, because when you
look at the Nielsen ratings, Ithink Fox owns the top fifteen spots,
right, so it's mammoth, it'smassive, and you know Tucker Carlson is
(03:15):
there with the five. But whenyou look at total viewers, when you
look at all the demographics, TuckerCarlson's the king and he's gone. Why.
I don't know if we're going toknow, Josh, what the real
story as I think we could probablyfigure it out you and me here in
the next five minutes. But we'veheard multiple reports that it has something to
(03:38):
do with text messages uncovered when Dominionfiled a lawsuit and did discovery. Carlson
allegedly wrote some things that were prettydisparaging or embarrassing. We also heard that
Rupert Murdoch may not be a bigTucker Carlson fan. And by the way,
(03:59):
I think Rupert Murdock's fiance was somebodywho loved Tucker Carlson was a deeply
spiritual person and Tucker Carlson allegedly saidlast Friday something along the lines of that
Rupert Murdock doesn't like that kind ofstuff. So some people are speculating that
that's what got him the axe.But at the end of the day,
a lot of these mainstream outlets thatare writing about it, they're giving you
(04:23):
anonymous sources. They're not telling youwhat's going on. I've noticed that a
lot of anonymous sources is that whatis that your what is your reporter gut
instincts tell you about that? Jack? It's like the gold rush of forty
nine. Every everybody wants a piece, right, So well, what do
you know? I don't know.Well, let's let's figure it out.
(04:44):
Maybe we can get somebody to saysomething, or God forbid. I can't
believe I'm going to say this,because I'm sure this will make a lot
of my brothers and sisters in thepress pool really angry. But can you
imagine that somebody's just making stuff up? Yeah, putting a label on NAT's
no, no, there's no nonotice. But you know, we're gonna
say some stuff and we want youto read our story because, oh,
by the way, I'm sure everytop story for the past three or four
(05:08):
days has been that. So everybody'sjust you know, trying to antie up
to play this poker game of who'sgoing to get the most views on this
Tucker Carlson's story. I think that'sreally what it is. I don't think
anyone has a damn clue. I'mthere with you. I it's a combination
of a lot of things. Butlet's talk about do you know how many
views now? Because he on hitlast night so well in our whatever you're
(05:31):
listening to this podcast, but Tucker'swhen he broke his silence, that video,
that YouTube or YouTube the was aTwitter video, Twitter video that he
gave an update on every one,just saying good evening and then kind of
recorded himself talking how many views doesthat have now in less than twenty four
(05:55):
hours? Fifty seven million views?Now for con tax Apparently Joe Biden released
a video because he's going to runagain. Yes, yes, the Oracle
of the wild House. But thenwe're gonna do it, I'm uncle Joe.
Forty one million, forty one millionviews. So Tucker Carlson is outpacing
(06:15):
Potus by sixteen million views. Yeah, and by the time, you know
whatever, who knows how many itshows you. If he wants to jack
he can. Honest to goodness,he really can do whatever he wants and
far as media, and he cancontrol it. You know. I'm I
(06:40):
don't know if Tucker wants to puthis money up like that, if he
wants to risk doing that, ifhe's going to find some you know,
probably some much wealthier backers that wouldhelp him. I don't know. I
just know the man can. Hecan do whatever he wants, and he's
going to have a core audience thatwill follow him wherever he goes. Well,
(07:02):
he attracts readers, He attracts followers. It started in the nineties,
if you remember back he began writingfor the Weekly Standard. I believe he
started the Daily Caller, which endedup being an extremely successful venture for him.
So if he wants to get backinto that genre, if he wants
to start something up, my guessis investors would say, you don't need
to pony up any of your money. You are a proven brand, You're
(07:26):
a proven recent He was on acrossfire seeing when CNN crossfire. Here's an
interesting thing now, And I'll eventie in Don Lemon Allegedly Don Lemon and
Bake Ramaswamy had a little back andforth they did. I watched that video
and basically what Vivick was doing isjust call him him out, saying that
(07:49):
the reason that black people were ableto secure their rights post Civil War was
because of help from play like thein ra and that that once they secured
their Second Amendment rights, they securedtheir civil rights. And just he was
making a point about that, andDon Lemon was telling him he was wrong
(08:13):
that blacks did not get you know, did not. The way he phrased
it basically was like they've never beenyou know, they've never achieved fully their
civil rights and dadada just you know, the whole I'm a I'm a victim.
Wha wha you know, and andhe was and so basically he was
and Vivic was saying, no,you're you're objectively wrong, that's apatently wrong.
(08:35):
It's documented like this is true.And and then and then Don Lemon
gets all um cranky up the buttabout He goes, I don't don't tell
me as a black man telling me. Here he goes, and he said.
Don Lemon looked at Vivic and said, you know, of whatever race
you are, don't talk to meas a black man and dude, it
(08:58):
just got It was so petty,and it was part of the reason.
I think I think it was thefinal straw. Day have just had enough
of his crap attitude and the factthat he just constantly was chastising and putting
guests down and going after him.Well, so he just went after an
Indian American. He's criticized misogynistically,if that's a word women, you know
(09:22):
after age forty or age fifty,basically you're washed up, your your pastor
prime. Talk about privilege. Here'sa guy who can say the most revolt
revolting and repulsive things and still havea job. Oh yeah, I think
that was the straw that broke thecamel's back. By the way, there'sn't
there an old song that says,to secure piece is to prepare for war.
I think the ve makes a Metallicathat's u Yeah, that's a Metallica
(09:48):
song, Don't tread on me,Don't tread on me, to secure pieces,
to prepare for war. So whatdoes THEVEK think about Tucker Carlson.
Well, he thinks that he shouldthrow his hat into the GOP primary and
run for president. In that State. And so here's a guy the vague
we've talked to him. You wantto talk about somebody who's shaping the narrative
(10:11):
of the GOP presidential race in twentytwenty four, his book Woke inc.
And his book on capitalism, hisability to talk about woke medicine. I
think it will, it will profoundlyimpact the GOP messaging. This cycle is
saying, Hey, Tucker Carlson,come into the ring. Let's have these
(10:31):
conversations. Maybe the things that hesaid on Tucker Carlson tonight about the Department
of Defense, about our international movementwith money and with troops, maybe those
things would be taken a little moreseriously. Yes, so it wouldn't that
be interesting? No, Now,the VEC is just doing I mean,
(10:54):
he's so smart, he's so wellarticulated. He brings receipts for every thing.
He doesn't just throw stuff out there. He is super well educated about
that. One of the sharpest peopleI've ever talked with, by the way
he's he's he's quick witted and quickwith wisdom. But let's get right down
to brass tacks. I just yousaw basically AOC had like you know,
(11:20):
you know, basically a verbal orgasmwhen she said, see the platforming works,
like was celebrating the firing of TuckerCarlson, even though again apparently fifty
seven million views later. Wait,isn't this that's the party that wants diversity
inclusion and diversity inclusion equity. I'mso confused. You know why we d
(11:46):
platform someone if we want diversity inclusionand equity. I'll tell you why,
because it's a misleading label, whichmeans shut the hell up, do it
our way, or we are goingto cancel you. It's an authoritary.
The left are full on authoritarians now. They are totalitarian scumbags and they've embraced
(12:07):
it. And if you look atthe soulless perversion behind the leftist's eyes,
you can almost see the hatred andthe desire for control of others. It
is incredible. I mean, thesepeople are sick and ahead, they really
are, and I believe they haveevil, evil souls, evil intentions.
You don't want to shake your ass. For instance, if for children,
(12:31):
you know in these quote unquote dragshows and drag events, you don't want
to do that because you've got agood heart and you want to bring joy
and love and fun. You've gotyou've got evil in you. You want
to shake your ass in front ofchildren and do that. And they are
full on authoritarians. And the goalhere is to control everyone's speech. That
(12:56):
we will be. You know,there's a bill now, we I talked
about it. We were talking earlier, the bill and Minnesota. It's like
a House file one eight one,I believe is what it is. And
the bill, if I recall correctlyit any it would if it passed,
(13:16):
it would put you in that governmentdatabase as for committing a biased actioned offense
or a biased crime, even thoughthose things aren't really criminal, but it
would log you down like you wouldbe in a government database. Something as
stupid as oh, you didn't callme a girl's you didn't use the right
pronoun. No, screw you.I'm gonna call you what you are.
(13:39):
I don't play that game. It'snot my job to entertain your mental illness,
you know, Buttercup, That's justnot how I'm gonna play. So
things like that and that, thisstuff, Jack this, Tucker Carlson is
the canary in the coal mine.Yet what is about to come of what
(14:01):
the left really wants to do,especially if they gain control of all three
branches of government, God forbid againnext year in twenty twenty four, you
will be censored. You will haveyour social media taken away. You will
not be allowed to challenge quote unquotethe narrative, the norm. You know,
you're gonna be spewing misinformation, disinformation, these words they use to gaslight
(14:28):
people because they don't sound like whatthey are, which is authoritarian scumbag thugs
are going to tell you, meand millions of other patriots in this country,
we are not allowed to express ourselves. You have been d platformed,
and basically that's you know, it'spart of why there's the text save text
(14:50):
AM to five two eight eight six. That's five two eight eight six text
the letters AM because they want toget all the car manufacturers now are saying
that they want to get rid ofAM radio in their cars because they're going
all electric. What AM radio isthe largest distribution of truth of information out
(15:11):
there? Okay, but yeah,podcasting as well. But Jack, it
is I got to sound the alarmbells. I don't listen. Everything we've
predicted the left was going to tryto do in the last two or three
years, they've done Jack. They'vedone it, and they're doing it,
and it's accelerating as it goes along. It's an interesting We talked earlier about
(15:35):
this on the radio. The Departmentof Defense allegedly, according to Politico,
yes weight in, but again theyused anonymous sources and they basically said audios,
good riddens. And the one personat the Department of Defense that they
quoted is no longer there. He'sactually now the spokesman for the National Security
(15:56):
Council. His name's John Kirby.And John Kirby had a little dust up
with Tucker Carlson when Tucker criticized JoeBiden's focus on hairstyles and uniforms to recruit
more women into the military. Andso John Kirby's the one guy that they
said, you know, we'll stickhis name by a critique. Well,
who's John Kirby. Let me tellyou who John Kirby is. John Kirby
(16:18):
said this last week. For allthis talk of chaos, I just don't
see it, not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation,
there was an aircraft taking off fullof people Americans and Afghans alike. Every
forty eight minutes and not one singlemission was missed. Kirby said, he's
talking about the disastrous troop withdrawal intwenty twenty one from Afghanistan, one of
(16:41):
the biggest military blunder we've committed inthis country since we got involved in Vietnam.
You saw the footage. There werepeople falling from the wings, yes,
to their death, trying to holdon, don't. I don't know
why these people thought they could holdon. Yeah, we left billions of
dollars in military equipment for the Taliban. We lost thirteen US sold US soldiers.
(17:04):
So when you say that it wasn'tchaotic, you're not only are you
lying. Let's go back to whatKirby said previously days after it happened.
He actually called it chaos, literallyused the word chaos. So back in
twenty one he described it as chaoticand as a physical crush in chaos.
(17:26):
So says that in twenty one twentythree changes his tune. Where am I
going with this? That is gaslighting at its finest. That is somebody
saying to you you didn't see whatyou saw. No no, no,
no no no. I didn't sayit that way. I didn't say I
said chaotic but I didn't mean chaotic. Yes, we should be sounding the
(17:48):
alarm bells. The spokesman for theNSC is being quoted regarding Tucker Carlson.
By the way, the most watchednewsperson on cable tell National Security Accouncil is
and that has a vested interest inwhat a conservative talk show host says.
Why why? And to your pointalso, AM radio hundreds of years of
(18:11):
development, tons of talk radio.But what happens when there is an actual
emergency? How's that going to playout on on FM? I don't,
it's not, That's just it.That's why. That's why this save AM
campaign is so again. Save textit right now? Do it? Listen.
They're gonna ask for your name andyour address, and just because they
(18:33):
need to figure out who your congressperson is. That's all this is.
It takes no time. Seriously,AM five two eight eight six. That's
what you text those two letters?So anyway, I just want it's that
important, So go ahead. No, I'm actually texting AM two five two
eight eighty six right now? Okay, yeah, do that done? So
(18:55):
you know Tucker Carlson and listen.I don't care if you agree with Tucker
or you disagree with Tucker. Ifyou are a fan of living your best
life, then you should be afan of free dialogue, because there is
nothing that makes better public policy thanhonest, robust dialogue. We are in
a place where even Fox News,which is ironically criticized by the left as
(19:23):
being like this far right media outlet, is basically saying, you know what,
we don't want to deal with this, We don't want to cover these
And really that's what Tucker said.You know, there were two things and
I can't repeat them verbatim because Iread it earlier today that Tucker said,
but he said, essentially, look, this is like fake catfighting, these
(19:45):
debates that you see on TV,because they don't want to talk about the
real issues. They don't want totalk about the issue behind the issue.
They just want to they want togive you the talking points and they want
there to be a little skirmish andyou to get emotional, emotional over one
of those positions. And then andhe's saying that, by the way,
there's really no difference between the rightand the left. There's one ruling class
(20:06):
and baby, you ain't in it, and they want to keep you silent.
And so you know, that's that'sthe bigger issue here is it's kind
of sick when you think about whateverher name is, the former restaurant worker
in New York who's AOC of whateveropp whatever you want to call it.
She's getting giddy about about him beingthe platform. That's not that's not how
(20:29):
America works. You should use That'show America used to not work, but
now it does now because we've beentaken over by authoritarian, communist left wingers.
And that is a truth. Thisis not paranoia. This is I
mean, you don't they tell youwhat you can eat. They want they
want to get rid of meat andeggs and dairy. They want to get
(20:52):
rid they want to can make youeat bugs. Okay. They don't want
you to drive your car because you'regonna everyone's gonna have to have an electric
car. We don't have the infrastructurefor that, so you know what,
you're gonna be stuck in a fifteenminute city. You can walk anywhere in
fifteen minutes, You're there, boomdone. We're doing it for the environment.
They're going to control how you drive. Oh what's that? No,
you can't consume this form of entertainmentor because it's got misinformation and a disinformation.
(21:15):
It's dangerous. It's dangerous. Sothey're gonna control what you see,
they'll Jack. That is communism,authoritarianism. What the hell is wrong with
people who don't see what they're doing. They don't want us to eat,
They don't want us to be ableto travel, they don't want us to
think for ourselves, they don't wantus to speak for ourselves. This is
(21:37):
they don't want us to be ableto entertain ourselves. Jack. This is
control on every level. This isthe stuff. You pick up a weapon
and you defend liberty at all costs. I'm not saying I'm not advocatingyone to
go out right now and grab agun and do any of that. And
let's be very clear, I amnot telling anybody, but you know,
when these things slow roll out,if you don't see it, the only
(22:00):
way out of it, it's goingto be through violence. Now, I
mean, I will die on myfeet before I serve on my knees.
This is not a joke. Savinggive me liberty or give me death is
not a joke to me, andit's not a joke to millions of other
patriots. You know, it's likewatching a python kill. It's it's victim.
(22:22):
Yeah, you know that's what it'sgreat and oil around you and you
know, I'm okay, yeah,it's a little bit. And then when
the crush comes, it's too late. It's too late, it's over look.
This is this is China two pointzero. And let me connect a
couple of dots here. We talkedearly on. You go back and listen
to the podcasts regarding ESG essentially inour schools, and and by the way,
(22:48):
ESG is essentially a social credit score. Corporations right now aren't getting dollars,
they're not getting perks if they don'timplement this woke ideology into their corporations.
Why, by the way, yousee a lot of these corporations stepping
out and doing these things behind closeddoors. Many of them will tell you
we don't want to do this.Here's what's happening in schools. Critical race
(23:12):
theory, comprehensive sexual education, socialemotional learning, all of these things that
aren't reading, writing, math,history, and science. All of these
things are replacing the curriculum that weshould be putting in our kids heads.
And if you don't acquiesce and approveguess what. You're not going to get
(23:33):
that sticker on your diploma. You'renot going to get the marks that you
need in order to get into theuniversity or to get the job at the
corporation that's hiring in your community.And let's be honest, why they're gonna
why they're gonna keep requiring and youknow, forcing people to feel like they
have to go to college to beable to do anything. Why what is
a to college degree? Right now? Basically, in many cases even now
(23:56):
it's creeping into the STEM field,the science, technology, engineering, and
mathematical fields. Okay, is thatdegree is basically a certification? All right?
You have been properly propagated, youhave been properly conditioned, you have
been properly told what to think.You didn't resist. Now go out into
(24:17):
the world. And though it's whatit is, it's it's a certification.
It's it's basically a certificate to say, I am not part of the I
won't say wrong think, I won'twrong speak, I will fall in line.
That's what it shows me right now. Unfortunately, because of what a
cesspool our colleges are. Colleges arethe place where the job is finished.
(24:45):
Colleges are the place. It's fora job. The job is finished because
you make that decision and you getthe stamp, and the stamp tells the
rest of the world, Hey,exactly what you just said. This person's
going to fall in line. Soof course they want everyone to go there,
and of course they want it tobe for free, because you know
that means everybody who disagrees paying intothe pot in order to extend the number
(25:10):
of people who are now part ofthis anti freedom, anti constitution, anti
American regime. Guys, it's Chinatwo point zero. If you if you
read your history, if you understandwhat went on there, you can understand
what's going on here. And youknow, we had was it the last
(25:30):
one that we did. Was itmaybe number fourteen? Where we had the
comedian on and the guy does itwith humor, but he's essentially a sounding
the alarm bell. He's like,look, no, Michael Loftus, spot
on, Michael Loftus. Yes,he does it with humor and fun.
But that I love that. Ilove that damn episode because he's serious,
he sees it, he's awake,he knows what this is. He's sounding
(25:52):
the alarm. He's trying to keepit, but you know, use humor
to spread the message. But you'reright, and here's why we have to
stop it. And I'm going togo deep philosophically and spiritually here, but
I'll do it quickly. I knowyou do if you read scripture and you
know there's truth there. And I'mnot going to defend it, because the
(26:12):
truth defends itself. But in thatbook it says God said, let there
be light, and there was light. We were made in God's image and
God gives us the ability to speakand to act and to produce an outcome.
The reason that they want to controlwhat you say is because that's the
(26:33):
impetus for controlling what you think.Yes, because if you no longer speak
the truth, then it doesn't reverberateand build those neurosynaptic connections in your mind,
and over time you forget what thetruth is, so you can't be
quiet. I think that's very wellsaid. And it's going beyond deep platforming
(26:56):
now, it's deep platforming and reprogramming. That's exactly what is going on,
and you have to resist that andthings like you know, listening to podcasts
like Saving Liberty and other podcast there'sother great patriots out there having podcasts that
whether it's listening to talk am,talk radio, conservative talk radio, local
(27:18):
and national boath they're equally important.Local shows mean matter just as much as
the national stuff. That's a greatexample of what we do on the Mark
Blazer Show. Thank you So Yeah, it's it's so important because we are
not it's they're not settling for dplatforming. We must also be reprogrammed.
(27:42):
Well, look, and let's getrid of the fallacy that the battle is
coming. They're at your doorstep.They're crossing the threshold and they're uninvited.
So the battles here, it's nowthat it's it needs to be thought now.
And that's what saving liberty is about. You're not saving something that you're
(28:03):
not losing. You're losing liberty andwith it freedom and with it the spoils
of a good and prosperous life.And by the way, that's what God
puts you on this planet to do. And if you don't do that,
maybe we'll talk about that in afuture episode. If you don't understand that,
our job is to expand the Kingdomof God, which is true love,
(28:23):
not hate, amen prosperity where thereis liberty, there's God. And
if we are losing those things yougo, then where is God? Well,
the government becomes your God. Andthat is precisely what they want and
dowed by our creator with these inalienablerights. Never forget what the Founders said.
