I’ll never forget on election night VERY early he noticed that something was off in what ALL the other’pundits’ were saying. He saw that something was happening in the stats the contradicted the ‘Hillary is gonna win’ assumption that was clearly taking place at Fox early on (until it didn’t ;D). Chris Wallace IMMEDIATELY jumped on Tucker and tried to shut him down and even did it in such a way to try to humiliate him. But Tucker just spoke his mind and basically said this is what I’m seeing. Take note. Well sure enough he foresaw the incredible show in the voting for Trump and Wallace and all Charles Krauthammer were eating plenty of crow. (Remember Krauthammer LYING to O’Reilly!!! about Florida being a head when it wasn’t and O’Reilly challenged him on that and Krauthammer stood by his complete lie only to disappear for the rest of the night! lol.)

Sorry about that. But I’m right, no?

Tucker has stuck it out in the business through a lot of changes and it is fantastic to see him getting his own show. He deserves it. And what a refreshing voice! I really love it when he just matter of factly states his facts and case in the face of the overemotional, elitist, liberal pundits and guests.

I’ve never watched more than a few seconds of Jon Stewart. I tried to watch this whole clip but had to bail half-way through. He’s not interesting, he has no ideas, he’s acting annoying, and he really is annoying.

The last Tucker I watched on youtube, his guest was an “adult” black man who had posted something ridiculous on twitter.

Tucker read the tweet to the audience and then it remained posted on the bottom of the screen. He asked the guest to comment on the tweet.

Guest started off by saying that the first thing Tucker had “to understand was I didn’t say” (first sentence of his tweet - it was there for all to see) “and didn’t say” (second sentence of his tweet) etc. They continued talking over each other and all the guy would say was he wasn’t going to discuss it until Tucker acknowledged that he, the guest, didn’t say what was right there on the screen.

I bailed in the middle of the third repeat of the above “exchange”. Scary that people like that seriously think they should be in charge and that we also owe them money.

I watch FoxBusiness.......then it’s Tucker and Dobbs in the evening. So politically incorrect......and a breath of fresh air.

Business Insider considered by many a home for fake news

“I’m pushing 40 and still don’t have the follicle density to grow a full, real mustache, but at least I don’t try.

This kid needs to shave and give his puberty some more time.”

BOL! One of our adult sons is only capable of having peach fuzz after a couple of weeks of not shaving.

Another son is like me. After a week of not shaving, we look like lumberjacks or street people.

My last few years of active reserve duty, we didn’t wear our uniforms to avoid being harassed or worse by the anti war pukes. Our CO got permission for us to grow beards or mustaches to minimize any of us looking like military. I can’t stand a beard of any length, so I grew a mustache. After 2-3 weeks, I had to get a new Id photo showing the mustache.

I kept my stache for a couple of years after my discharge into a civilian job. Then. I got my first Harvard boss. He hated the military and my stache. I shaved it and looked for another job. My new boss with a competitor company asked why I shaved it. I told him, and he said if you want to regrow it, do it. I did and have had it for about 50 years.

I wish they made video of it. I was watching FBN with Cavuto, Dobbs, and Trish Reagan on election night.

They may have. I’ll see if I can find it. Yo’ll LOVE it in retrospect! It really upset me at the time and as the night wore on and Wallace had to admit Trump would likely be our next President. I couldn’t quit smiling.

You get ZERO argument from me there, Sam.

I think he’s a snobbish, sarcastic, unfunny assh*le, personally.

Growing up, I never noticed elitism. My dad was a high ranking Naval officer and never saw elitism out of him towards anyone else.

When I was very young, we were poor but I thought we were rich because we gave food to the shelter at school collections.

Elitism lacks self awareness and soul. Very boring and shallow. Stupid, too.
