He has one of the most valuable hours in Television and spends it smirking at trustees on temporary release from mental institutions. How about an in depth story on human trafficking or Ukrainian meddling in the election?
Or maybe he's this guy.

Tucker Carlson became so baffled by former DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse during a Monday interview he stopped the guest with one short question.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Tucker asked.
Woodhouse, former president of a Democratic super PAC, was discussing President Donald Trump’s speech in Poland and the media backlash it received. He compared the president’s usage of the phrase “Christian values” to a “dog whistle to white nationalists,” which prompted Carlson’s strong reaction.
“Let’s stop with the propaganda … let’s just deal with the text of the speech,” Carlson said. “If you’re a leader of western civilization you ought to believe it’s superior.”

I disagree.
A couple like-minded conservatives sitting around chewing the fat, back patting, etc - it's called "preaching to the choir."
Tucker's way is to bring these dumkofs and their asinine phony, double-talk out in the open.
that helps immediately -but , in addition, when people then hear people like that with their twisted rhetoric, they recognize it for what it is.,
Tucker shines the light on the Rats. Rats don't so well in the light. IMHO ;)
BINGO
Yep. I refuse to watch talking hijabs.
If not for Tucker presenting these whackos for our enlightenment, we’d never believe they were out there. Maybe you’ve heard about one or two of them, but most of us don’t follow the Looney Left close enough to know the players.
Tucker is performing a public service for conservatives by bringing the wildest and craziest Leftists out of their fever swamps and onto his show. Then we get to see for ourselves just how insane that side really is. I’m just amazed that Leftists still accept Tucker’s invitations.
Every night I tune in fully expecting to ask, “Where the hell did he find this nut job?” and Tucker rarely disappoints on that score. We need to see these losers so we’ll know the enemy when the time comes.
In many cases, Tucker just sits back and lets the radical guests rave on as they get more and more unhinged, even reckless, ....sometimes even encouraging them. It's his MO.
Yes, it makes some folks uncomfortable to watch and here..but it makes a lot more folks like me better informed on the Left's MO and more skilled in "knowing thy enemy". It rounds out our knowledge so we can better debate liberals and to write commentary on forums such as FR.
Snowflakes should not watch Tucker. During the Fox evening lineup, they are probably better off emotionally viewing "The Five" or the bland Martha McCullom's "The Story" show which are safe comfort zones.

I agree with both of your points but in the end it comes down to Tucker helping to keep the knife edge of our ideas sharp against the left. The fact they are so delusional needs to repeatedly shown.
I also think this is a brillaint hook to boost ratings on Tucker's part.....
The right watches to see the dimrats get clobbered and the lefties watch to see if their guy brings Tucker down.
Actually the interview with P. Kennedy was interesting but what the heck is going on with his voice
He has spasmodic dysphonia, the same thing that Scott Adams of Dilbert fame suffers from, though I think his is pretty much cured.
Good point. I agree. I think he just wastes a lot of potentially valuable air time.
I found the video from his interview with Tucker last night.. It’s pretty much the same as it was when he was on with Hannity but unlike the subject of this thread, it needs to be said over and over...
Anyway, on Hannity’s show he said his invitation to be on the show was the 1st he’d had in 10 years and on the one last night he said the 2nd one he’d been on in 10 years and the other was Bill Maher’s.... I sure don’t watch Bill Maher so he apparently lost track of whose shows he’s been on. Doesn’t take away from his message tho’.
I hope Trump goes ahead with the commission on vaccine safety. It’s downright criminal what big pharma has gotten away with for so many years - laws passed making it impossible to sue them for the damage done from vaccines not to mention the brainwashing done to the medical profession to push their vaccines. And add to that - politicians...big bucks for campaigns..
I'm not sure... the Left's MO is emotions and lies - fairly simple. What is a mystery to me is the Repubbies' incapability of responding to these vicious lies. OK, here's a good current example: Pocahontas Warren, Burning Sanders, ChukU Schumer, Nanny Pelosi - all calling the Repubs killers ... Why don't the Repubs respond by accusing the Democ🐀s of being killers . . . respond with SOMETHING?!!
Obamacare has killed may people - by the same standard that the 🐀s accuse the Repubs of killing people. But, as usual 🐀 lies go unanswered. When is someone in Washingswamp going to represent ME!
Tucker Carlson's nightly mis-believing frown just doesn't completely rise to respond to the occasion for me. SIGH
For example, here is my suggestion for what should be inserted in any argument on civilian health care: Tactics For Victory.
As for the gutlessness of so many Republicans inside the "Beltway?" We just have to start vetting potential candidates more carefully. If the President continues to hang tough, the dam may eventually break, and some of those who today cower before the Leftist insults, may discover that it really is more dangerous to remain silent than to fight back.
I thought his interview with RFK, Jr., about vaccines was pretty interesting.
“”I’m still waiting for somebody,anybody to tell me what “Speaking truth to power” means. “”
Just like I’m waiting for somebody to explain what a “dog whistle” is... I’m so tired of these kooky, trendy euphemisms. It’s almost like our way of speaking English that we were raised with no longer exists - it belongs to some other breed.
AND fits right in with the people who no longer talk in sensible sentences - everything comes out like a question....horrible, irritating habit from so many news folks today! Like they’re reciting a Sunday School piece - in the days when that was done. Our mother used to say, “Don’t sing song” when we had to practice our “pieces” which is what they were called!
Shannon Bream has long been a non-irritating voice (at least to me) on FOX but today she does the same thing to where I can no longer stand the sound of her voice.
Also how about those who begin sentences or answers with SO? People have long asked their questions starting with SO - “SO what did you do on your vacation?” Now it’s - “What did you do on your vacation?” “SO I went to the ocean.”
We need some clever FR person to start a thread about our likes/dislikes/irritations etc. Too much negativity? Well, probably not anymore than we’re subjected to every time we log on....
Do we need a site just for us curmudgeons - anyone born before WWII? You started this by asking your question!!!!
“”I also think this is a brillaint hook to boost ratings on Tucker’s part.....””
Or as evidenced here from some of the replies, drive us away. I really don’t want to hear some baboon expound his/her garbage or to make my BP rise. There are more interesting shows to watch or books to read after
8 or 9 pm. I prefer something to make me laugh..old sitcoms - “Everybody Loves Raymond” which I never watched when it was popular or one I just found “Rules of Engagement”. Never even heard of it before - pretty raunchy at times but great humor IMO...
I too have been driven away from time to time for the very same reasons.
The boob tube was invented to entertain us but somewhere along the way the politicos have turned it into a combat sport.
You right, life's to short and you only get one shot at it.
“”I thought his interview with RFK, Jr., about vaccines was pretty interesting.””
His understanding of the subject is to be admired. Someone who understands what has taken place lo these many years and isn’t afraid of taking flak for speaking about it. I love how he spits out how many vaccines he had as a child and how many doses his children had to have of so many different ones. It’s pretty much what Dr. Sears (CA pediatrician) writes about and tries to educate parents on; the number, ingredients, schedule, mixing and not mixing shots with certain ingredients, limiting them at one time etc. Common sense but something the public isn’t willing to accept...
I noticed that Tucker told him he didn’t agree with ALL his points and I’d be curious to know which ones those were. Probably not enough time to go into that but I’d still like to have heard it. I didn’t hear anything that hasn’t already been proven to be a problem in the application of vaccines.
But Tucker can and does argue or tell them off. It's the guy on C-SPAN (Brian Lamb, I think) who I feel bad for. He always takes every nut's or bloviator's call seriously and I've never seen him argue or tell anyone they're crazy or stupid. Can't watch it for more than a minute.
