Update on Tucker!
This is an update of yesterday’s newsletter on Tucker Carlson. He was seen riding around on a golf cart with his wife in Florida - happy as a lark.
Yesterday, Megyn Kelly (who used to work at Fox) said that insiders told her that Tucker was NOT fired - but was removed from his show and still held to his contract - the purpose is to hold him hostage until AFTER the election and keep him from doing his own show or working for someone else. That’s what I suspected.
Then, ratings came out that showed Fox lost 47% of their audience by removing Tucker and it impacted all dayparts. Then, Tucker came out with a video at 8:01PM ET (the same time that his show would have started on Fox) and published it on his Twitter page.
Within one hour - the views had exceeded his old show on Fox. Right now, it has over 50 MILLION views. Watch:

DJT JR: The swamp will do everything in its power to make sure Tucker has no voice through 2024…note who has his back & who doesn’t!!! A silenced Tucker is a uniparty/warmonger/deep-state/globalist dream come true.
Here’s what President Trump said about it on Flashpoint:
Tucker's post already had 4.2 million views in the first hour which is better than his show on Fox.
Megyn Kelly - who used to work at Fox and has connections there - said that Tucker was pushed aside, pulled from his show and not told why. As I thought. They want to pay off his contract and hold him hostage until AFTER the 2024 election.
Listen to what Megyn had to say:

POSOBIEC: The Pentagon is literally saying now that Tucker is off the air it will be easier to manipulate the public to support their wars. This is not a sci-fi movie, this is actually happening in real-time.
One of the texts that would have come out in the Dominion lawsuit is that Tucker didn’t like Fox management - thought it was too liberal and incompetent.
One theory that I think makes the most sense about why it happened so suddenly has been posited by Glenn Beck & Darren Beattie.
Rupert, 92, was engaged to a younger Christian woman - this would be his 5th marriage. Apparently they went out to dinner with Tucker & his wife a few weeks ago and she admitted that Tucker was her “favorite” news anchor. She is a devout Christian and fawned over him and quoted scripture to him.
Rupert broke off the engagement shortly after that dinner and said she was too Evangelical and then fired Tucker a few weeks later. Rupert was jealous.
Byrne & Dershowitz also believe that Rupert settled the Dominion lawsuit because the truth about Fox’s lies and election fraud would have helped Trump if it went to trial.
TUCKER CARLSON: "If we're being honest …. Donald Trump had far wiser instincts about American foreign policy than any leader in at least a generation, and he did it without the help of anyone.
None of his advisers wanted to hear his views on foreign policy. In fact, they desperately wanted Trump to be quiet, but Trump wouldn't.
"What's the point of NATO?," he asked nearly 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union. No one in Washington could answer him. Shut up, racist, they replied, but Trump just kept going in his Trumpy way. "Why would we fight Russia?" he wondered. "Wouldn't making Russia our enemy just drive Putin into the arms of China and create the most powerful and dangerous anti-American bloc in history?"
No one bothered to answer him. In fact, for the sin of asking, they called him a traitor to his country. They impeached him for it, and then they started a war with Putin. But in retrospect, Trump had asked a deeply patriotic question: If Russia ever joined forces with China, American global hegemony, its power would end instantly. You'd have the world's largest land mass and largest natural gas reserves, allied with the world's largest population and world's largest economy.
So, a Russia-China axis would be not just more powerful than the United States, but much more powerful. It would have the scale to control a lot of the world's economy and trade routes and raw materials. It could project military force that posturing aside, we actually don't have the power to stop. If Russia and China ever got together, it would be a brand-new world and the United States would be greatly diminished. Most Americans agree that would be bad.
Now, as Donald Trump predicted very clearly, that is happening. Thanks to Joe Biden's reckless and self-destructive response to the invasion of Ukraine a year ago this week, the economies of Russia and China are intertwined. Chinese spending on Russian goods has increased by more than 60%. China now imports more coal from Russia than it has in the last five years. Chinese shipments to Russia, meanwhile, are up by nearly 30%.
Companies like Ford and Toyota pulled out of Russia. They had to. Remember that? So, what happened next? Chinese automakers stepped in. Chinese carmakers once made less than 10% of all cars bought in Russia. Now, China makes a third of them and you can see where this is going. The same thing has happened with smartphones and countless other consumer goods. Not surprisingly, the Chinese yuan is replacing the dollar in Moscow. Chinese currency now accounts for fully one fifth of all trades on the Moscow Stock Exchange. That's up from less than 1% last year.
So, these are deep and growing economic ties and they're formal. The thing about economic ties, however, is that they lead inexorably to military ties. So, it shouldn't surprise you that China is actively helping Russia in the war against NATO, which we are leading. In other words, the country with more ships than any navy in the world has united with a country that has more nuclear armed ICBMs than any country in the world to fight us through proxy in Ukraine.
Well, that's scary, and the thing is, everybody involved seems to know it's scary and just how scary it is. Our leaders understand that their push for total war with Putin, which is unnecessary, could lead to the destruction of the West. They know that, but they're doing it anyway. In an interview with a German newspaper today, the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy casually mentioned that, oh, by the way, the entire world may soon go up in flames: "if China aligns itself with Russia, there will be a world war."
There will be a world war if China aligns with Russia? Who could say something like that calmly, since as we just told you, China is aligned with Russia? It's already happened. That's not speculation. It's a fact. And as a result of that fact, according to Zelenskyy himself, hundreds of millions of people will die. No big deal. As long as we take Crimea. This is a very dark way of thinking.
Zelenskyy is not a hero. He is an instrument of total destruction. Can anyone see how dark and crazy this is, truly crazy? Yes, many Americans can see how dark and crazy. Let's look at the numbers. How many Americans support this war for democracy that Americans for some reason can't vote on?”
Tucker had turned the corner on Trump. Murdoch didn’t like that. The media likes to pick our Presidents. The New York Times even said so out loud yesterday:
Tucker said “see you soon.” Let’s see what’s next. The fact that he made a video tells me he probably will NOT take the money and be quiet.
