I watch Tucker Carlson almost every night and I think I get an intelligent and balanced perspective on events. However, recently Tucker is giving a very insightful and powerful view of the news, but it is almost unbearable to watch.

I rarely miss Tucker and it seems that even though I've liked most of his past commentary, his recent opening comments have been cranked up significantly.... both in terms of how biting, relevant and hard hitting it has become. The guy is fearless and has made it clear that he won't be cowed by anyone. It's now a rare morning when I don’t get a copy to send off to various family members…. many of whom are ones that I told starting 2 or 3 years ago that we can’t be smug and think we got much figured out because the evil that lies just a thin layer below is huge and means that we’re always just an eyelash away from civil war. Tucker's most recent comments totally support that view and how close we are to anarchy.

No one fed the Coronavirus hysteria more than Carlson. It was pathetic to watch. Glad to hear he apologized for it.

Tucker is quite literally "speaking Truth to 'power,'" but the "power" is the swamp, the administrative state that actually rules the USA.

It had never been revealed in the way that we saw with the election of President Trump, and now it appears that some in the swamp are "rooting" for a military coup to put the American People back in their place, as serfs.

Tucker's interview with Ambassador Grennell last night was enlightening, where Amb Grennell stated that it's no longer dems vs pubbies, but DC vs the rest of America.

Right. And there’s also that principle whereby a committed 10% is able to impose its will on the larger group.

So if we don’t have at least as many at least as strongly committed—and Team Trump doesn’t use its current time and resources wisely and rapidly—it may be too late.

That’s why Tucker’s message is so important.

We knew all of this had to happen, and it is right now in front of all of us.

The only question is how long with The Lord allow it to continue until He pulls the plug? Because all of the Left’s depravity is begging for God’s Wrath.

I pray for God’s intervention every day.

I think Carlson see this as a moment in time where the country could be lost, permanently.

Nothing is permanent but we could lose the country for a good long time. This is not 1968. Victor Davis Hansen says all we need is a 21st century Robespierre to show up and we will have our own version of the French Revolution.

The OVERWHELMING majority of Americans are repulsed by what they see. Their voices will be heard in November.

Barring election fraud, a real possibility. And if Trump does win I think they will just go more beserk.

I find Tucker’s views insightful and pertinent.

He's the only commentator I've heard who understands what "defund the police" is about. It's not about abolishing the police. It's about replacing the police.

I watch Tucker virtually every night and I am not depressed. The only time I disagreed with him is when he went after President Trump last week. IMHO is was unfounded.

Love Tucker.
Just wonder if they really know what they’re asking for. There comes a time when it’s too late to change direction.
The MO of the communists behind BLM haven’t changed much since Mao.

Tucker is warning us but it almost seems too late if people don’t come to their senses and informs people who are all the rats are and not in D.C. .
He proves the power of the people is greater them the scum hacks voting is a must or it goes to the thugs.
Now is the time for record turn out or except what you didn’t vote for.

That would be good news (stepped out to get car from repair shop). One thing we’ve gleaned from this...the SWAMP is YUGE...oceans-like in fact. Global. The good news (not propaganda programming) is that it’s a BIG CLUB out here, and they are not in it. Our differences are microscopic compared to those with individuals who want to deceive, pillage, plunder, rape and kill us. 2A is critical. 1A is disappearing daily for us “non-essentials”.

I feel the same way, it’s hard to watch b/c it’s so darn depressing.
But I feel he’s telling the truth. I watch it in small doses.

My point was, even with the conditions as you stated, the real polls show a dead heat race nationally. Battlegrounds may even lean towards Trump. If the economy continues its V-shaped recovery, he will be OK, I think. The unrest will not hurt Trump, it will help him, as most want to be able to walk down the street safely, and the Democrats are very vocal in saying that riots are OK by them.

How many Americans want to be robbed by looters?

I dare the pollsters to ask that question!

I am just wondering if this depressive effect is also experienced by other viewers. And if so, what do you do about it aside from not watching?

I watch Tucker and it's not depressive, it is maddening but Tucker is a DC swamp liver that has never been outside of the beltway.

I like Tucker but his world view is so tainted {taint?} that all he sees is within the 495 loop.

Tucker's road trip is to a country club in VA.

He couldn't find Mt. Pleasant, PA using an driving app.

His program is now better {content} than 99.9999% pure hannity.

Did you know that hannity has an fbi pin on his lapel and it is for the 99.9999% virgin pure, hard working fbi agents {the ones that didn't take a knee for George Floyd}.

It’s called reality.

The question is....what now?

“Except when he doesn’t. He himself came out and apologized for his “sky is falling” coverage of the virus when it first appeared (which is to his credit, of course)”.

Almost everyone was fooled at the start. Tucker was telling it like he saw it at the time.

And you’re right that he manned up and stood corrected.

I feel you, bro.
It’s important to keep reminding ourselves that the news only reports aberrant behavior.

A rabid dog running loose in the neighborhood is newsworthy. All the other dogs aren’t.

Likewise, normal people behaving normally, and professional cops doing their jobs in a professional manner, constitute an exponentially larger group than the feral animals and their facilitators we’re seeing on TV, but ordinary people behaving themselves aren’t news.

We’re still in the majority. We’ve lost control of the narrative, though, and we need to take it back.
We can’t sit back & expect Trump to do it all.
