Hi. I’m Peter Navarro, it is March 12, 2023.
And here is some breaking news: Fox News show host Tucker Carlson has purportedly sent out a questionnaire on America’s Ukraine policy to a set of Republican presidential candidates.
My immediate thought upon hearing this news was, to speak in the salty vernacular of one of my old Chiefs of Staff at the Trump White House, John Kelly, “Who the hell does Tucker think he is?”
Before I try and answer to that question, settle down all you fan boys and fan girls of Tucker. I like Tucker, and Tucker has been good to me – at least he was up until the point where the Fox brass canceled me from his show. I’ll get to that in a minute; but first, this:
What Tucker is doing seems to be the height of arrogance. In effect, Tucker thinks his ratings are so big that he can set himself up as a powerbroker in the 2024 presidential race as if he were the actual Fox network itself – such questionnaires the sponsorship of debates are typically the province of the network itself, across the cable news diaspora.
To put this another way, Tucker is sending out questionnaires to presidential candidates in the an apparent belief that because the show is so popular and highly rated, these candidates must kiss Tucker’s ring and fill out those questionnaires – or risk retribution if a candidate fails to answer the questionnaire.

People could also just not fill out the questionnaire if they were so inclined.
Who the hell does any nobody think they are questioning a politician at a town hall meeting?
Who the hell was that Ohio businesswoman who questioned Arlen Spector about "waking the sleeping giant?"
Who the hell were the people of East Palestine to question Biden and Buttigieg?
Who the hell were the people who questioned Nancy Pelosi about the Constitutional basis for her bills? ("Are you kidding? Are you kidding?")
Who the hell are any of us who vote?

Peter Navarro is a stunted pygmy who could never be as articulate as Tucker.
“...but would that he had followed his first instincts...”
Indeed.
Surprisingly, the very successful Trump is a bad judge of personnel.
That NYC Cohen lieyeah comes to mind....
Perhaps Tucker is asking questions that the RINOs, MSM and other flunkies never ask. Does Peter not realize that Fox News is largely with the MSM anyway and many conservatives don’t even bother tuning it in?
Ah the intriguing power of the limited hangout.
Tucker pulled his punches after one show last week. Doesn't matter. Tucker is beyond reproach.
Peter Kent Navarro is an American political figure who served in the Trump administration as the Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator.
Same here. Isn’t an entertainer supposed to do background work?

I like Peter Navarro but I think he’s just confused because Carlson is acting like a journalist and he’s not used to seeing that kind of behavior on network TV.
Exactly what I said!!!
Oh....yeah. Of course he does.......
Who’s you favorite economist on the national stage?
And how many times have we been duped by people in the Trump administration?
So Pete does get it.
L
He’s your superior in every way, Peter.
How so? Navarro has skin the game and served in the Trump admin. What has Tucker ever done but flap his gums and cash CNN and FNC checks?
your
Not national of course...
But I do pretty well for myself....I'm not an economist.
I do have a degree in healthcare. FWIW....
