A Patriot's Musings on Culture, History, Politics, and Faith

He Can’t be Stopped

You know him. Tucker Carlson—the Fox News show host—is the most watched cable news host in America. Millions of Americans watch Tucker Carlson nightly for his comedic wit, his insightful commentary, and his trademark nervous laughter.

Personally, I don’t watch much cable news, but I do occasionally tune into Tucker. As the great Charlie Kirk once said, listening to Tucker Carlson is like watching MJ dominate the NBA in the 1990s. Tucker is in top-form every single night when it comes to his analysis of the news cycle. Cable news is typically not the best way to stay informed politically. I would venture to say that Tucker is the exception to that general rule—for both sides of political spectrum.

As a wise man once said, “you can’t cuck the Tuck!” Many have tried, but none have succeeded.

Tucker has become extremely popular on the Internet for his sharp barbs and comedic timing. There are few people who better exemplify what it means to be an America-first/populist-leaning conservative than Tucker Carlson (a one-off libertarian mind you, but we don’t hold it against him, right!).

Best Moments

Tucker has had many great moments over the years. This post will commemorate some of Tucker’s best moments in his 30 years as a journalist and political pundit. With that, let’s begin:

1. Tucker Obliterates “Creepy Porn Lawyer” Michael Avenatti

A few years ago, lawyer Michael Avenatti was relevant for being Stormy Daniels’s lawyer.

Tucker invited Michael Avenatti onto his show for an interview. At the time, Avenatti was looking to potentially run for the presidency.

Of course, Tucker called Avenatti out for being a shady human being. Then, the interview started getting tense with Tucker and Avenatti screeching at each other.

Fortunately, their heated exchange led to my favorite Tucker Carlson moment.

A month ago, a judge sentenced Avenatti to over two years in prison for attempting to exhort Nike. Oh how the might have fallen. No wonder CNN and MSNBC don’t trot out Michael Avenatti on their channels anymore: because he’s in jail.

2. Tucker Calls Out Hedge Funds, Paul Singer, and Senator Ben Sasse

Tucker never pulls back his punches. He rightfully calls out people on both sides of the political spectrum in the levers of power. In this clip, Tucker calls out the disgusting actions of one of the largest donors to the GOP—Paul Singer.

Singer is a hedge fund manager who singlehandedly destroyed the entire local economy of a small, rural Nebraska town. His hedge fund—Elliot Management—is takes part in “vulture capitalism”. That phrase only refers to how hedge funds buy up distressed companies in order to later sell them at profit. Sometimes, vulture capitalists are willing to lay-off workers at their newly acquired company just to artificially increase profits. Then, a the vulture capitalist firm/hedge fund will sell the company and make money off of destroying people’s lives and running the distressed company it purchase prior.

During this video, Tucker called out Paul Singer screwed over the city of Sidney, Nebraska. Sidney is home to the large retailer Cabela’s. Once Singer’s firm purchased a large minority stake in Cabela’s, he made a ton of money by forcing Cabela’s to merge with Bass Pro Shops. The merger cost the city of Sidney over 2,000 jobs.

Greedy Wall Street hedge funds destroying the lives of ordinary Americans, what’s new?

3. Tucker’s Take on The George Floyd Riots: “Our leaders dither as our cities burn”

Back in June 2020, Tucker gave one of the best monologues in cable news history.

As the George Floyd riots wrecked major American cities across the nation, Tucker flat-out excoriated our political ruling class for condoning and even encouraging the riots.

What stuck out is that Tucker called out politicians on both sides of the aisle—including prominent Republicans such as Nikki Haley, Carly Fiorina, and Mike Pence.

Don’t ever forget how our elected leaders allowed our cities to burn and allowed criminals attack patriotic Americans. Our leaders surely failed us during the riots back in summer 2020.

4. “Do you teach students?”: Tucker’s exchange with pro-Antifa professor

Back in 2017, Tucker interviewed an Antifa-supporting college professor. Remember, those were the early days of Antifa.

In this brief interview, this professor was justifying his radically anti-free speech ideas. He said that anyone who’s a threat to society doesn’t deserve the right to speak in public. His ramblings should be highly disconcerting to freedom-loving Americans.

Tucker’s last question in the interview was perfect: Do you teach students? Sure, Tucker asked a loaded question. However, it importantly demonstrates that commie radicals are teaching our students.

5. Tucker on Ben Shapiro’s Sunday Special: “In a second!”

This moment is more of a personal favorite than anything. In November 2018, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro hosted Tucker Carlson for his Sunday Special—where Ben has long-form discussions with some of the top minds in politics.

In the middle of the interview, Tucker gets pretty based after Ben asks a lame question. Ben asked Tucker if he would be willing to ban automated trucks (“18 wheelers”). As an economic libertarian, Ben believes that all economic regulations are bad—even if ordinary Americans benefit from it.

Tucker’s response: Yes, in a second! BASED. Tucker is a man of the people. He’s no simp for Milton Friedman and economic libertarian.

6. Tucker criticizes the “Woke Military Industrial Complex”

I talked about this monologue back in March 2021 in my post Tucker Carlson Targets the “Woke Military Industrial Complex”.

I just find it hilarious that one of Tucker’s most controversial moments was when he pointed out the absurdity of President Biden’s push for maternity flight suits.

This clip reminds me that the United States is no longer a serious country. We are living in clown world, and this Tucker monologue is a perfect reminder of that reality. We’re in big trouble if our military starts to look like a joke.

To end this post, I included the link to a compilation of Tucker Carlson laughing.

Tucker is the man. Enough said.
