How My 1997 Conversation with Tucker Carlson Predicted the Future

In March 1997, I had a conversation with Tucker Carlson that would predict the future. Specifically it predicted liberalism’s current empire of lies.

Carlson has recently expressed amazement at how bad the public lies have gotten. Last week on The Glenn Beck Show, Carlson revealed footage from the Capitol January 6 that undercut our Principalities and Powers’ official narrative. Especially its claims about Jacob Chansley (the wacky guy in the Viking helmet) who was visibly nonviolent, but nonetheless got four years in prison.

Carlson sounded amazed and a bit dejected. His father had worked in government. Carlson grew up in Washington. He was used to political battles, but not such outright lying. “I know deception when I see it,” he says, “it’s demonstrable and its proven. They’re all lying.” It turns out, Tucker concluded. “Liz Cheney is affirmatively a liar.”

A reminder of how despicable the leftist media has become. Mark Judge's testimony helped Brett Kavanaugh.

" Specifically it predicted liberalism’s current empire of lies."

Lying like its life depends on it.

Tucker’s abandonment of sharing the J6 “tapes” is highly questionable.

That’s what controlled opposition does.

This is why it is so absolutely crucial that regular people simply not engage with this new American Stasi. Imagine the worst, most unscrupulous and malicious liar you’ve ever known in your life. That person is the reporter who just showed up at your door. The assumption that leftist politicians and the media are reflections of Satan himself, the father of lies, is not an exaggeration.

It's worse than we thought...

Re: "Tucker's abandonment of sharing the J6 "tapes" is highly questionable.

I disagree.

If GOP Speaker Kevin McCarthy was serious about releasing the tapes, he would post them all - unedited - on the GOP website. Instead, as expected, McCarthy is a coward, and he will do nothing.

Tucker has valid employment reasons for backing away - where is he ever going to find 3.5 million daily viewers if he quits Fox News?

Many people on Free Republic despise Fox News, but, the blunt reality is that Tucker on Fox News reaches more Conservatives each day than any other Conservative broadcast in the USA.

Tucker was missing from his show last night- Will Cain in for him, no further explanation.

Like most people here I would like to see more J6 Committee debunking from Tucker.
