Going into the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines on Friday, the big story was whether Donald Trump’s contemptuous decision to skip the presumably obligatory cattle call for Republican presidential candidates before a large and influential crowd of conservative evangelicals would damage his candidacy. Trump aside, however, the big question was whether one of the dark horse candidates stalking the former president and Florida governor Ron DeSantis would have a breakout moment at the day-long event. Former vice president Mike Pence, whose intimate ties with the Christian Right go back decades, and Senator Tim Scott, who has been delivering a decidedly religious pitch to voters in Iowa, were thought to have a real opportunity to shine in this very churchy venue.
, But the star wasn’t Scott or Pence or anyone else thumping a Bible, and Trump’s snub was all but forgotten. For that matter, the traditional culture-war concerns of the Christian Right got short shrift. Instead, designated candidate interviewer Tucker Carlson and his personal obsessions were the center of attention, as the Des Moines Register’s Brianne Pfannenstiel reported:

That’s hilarious.
“The crowd particularly loved his best implicit criticism of Trump: his claim that he would have fired Anthony Fauci at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
So easy to say with 20/20 hindsight. Truth is, Fauci was a god prior to Covid, and only with time and too much attention did we learn what a corrupt and evil human he is. De Santis would not have fired Fauci.
Got it. The new narrative. MAGA are zombies inhabited by the ghost of Tucker.
Trolls like you should be escorted to the nearest permanent exist from this site.
Fox has done irreparable harm to its business the same way RINO/Elites have done to this Country.
Do your homework and find out who Kilgore is! He’s a terrorist and a murderer and a Marxist God hating criminal. A natural fit for MSN. EXPOSE EVIL IN THE MEDIA.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I had wondered about some of Beck’s lectures on his TV show. But when he brought up some thing about a debunked archeological find in the US of some “biblical” artifact, that turned me off completely. Luckily he was going to stop his show soon anyway, so I didn’t miss much of the good stuff. But it was like Debbie Schlussel and WND - now I don’t know I can trust them.

You have to learn to filter out the BS/crap and retain the truth/accurate stuff. The trick is knowing the difference.
I think most of the time, with me, it’s a matter of what I deem critical to securing our future freedom in America. And every time...with me... that equates to anything that is anti-Globalist, anti-Marxist, anti-leftist ....ie anti-Democrat.
But someone said Beck was a teacher…he is teaching people things.
So, that implies you are there to LEARN. Not simply watch an echo chamber. If you have to “filter”, it implies you already know a lot, and that you really 9pm want to hear what you know (truth or not).

Beck did teach me things I didn’t know. Things that I know are true now. As far as wanting to hear what I already know, I listened to Rush for ...years... because he voiced some things I already knew or believed. I also learned a lot that I previously didn’t know from Rush, as well.
It’s a mix and a balance....if you keep an open mind that is open to learning.
I think if he’d sign up with RAV or OANN that would ground him but nobody ever listens to me.
I agree, he was way out in front on Woodrow Wilson/ progressives, Cloward-Piven, Alinsky, Pigford,ACORN, but late to Trump if I’m not mistaken
Hatch redeemed himself late with strong support of Trump, in my eyes.
Only a few. Your broad brush statement isn't true. In 2016 I chose Trump early on after hoping for Cruz initially. Cruz lost me when he started pretending the violence at Trump rallies were Trump's fault when it was pretty clear they were leftists doing that stuff. Got a lot of flack from Cruz supporters.
I've never switched to RDS, and have no intention of doing so.
It's pretty clear that most of the RDS supporters here aren't ex-Trump folks, rather they're primarily from the nevertrump camp. Yep, there are a few who changed. All with different reasons, but your broad brushed statement is just flat out wrong.
*SNIFF*

You got that invitation to the Club For Growth simposium?
“The early question to DeSantis about the red tide in Florida was interesting and out of place.”
Considering Tucker has a home on Pine Isle at FT Myers/Naples area he is probably having to shovel smelly stinking rotting fish off his yard, so I can somewhat understand the question since I too live on the Gulf coast and have seen the stinky mess first hand many times.
Tucker doesn’t need to yell to get attention.
Are you butt hurt because he put DeSantis in a trick bag?

“ What, exactly, has Beck been “”wrong”” about?”
You mean the Cheeto faced buffoon who wanted to stab trump?
That Beck?
