I watched the interview and I was honestly shocked at how callous Carlson discussed the suicide case. Imagine being Altman, your friend killed himself, and someone casually brings up the idea that you might have ordered his murder, and then dances around the issue saying it’s not an accusation but still maintains it’s “worth looking into.”

Don't go to any public speaking events

I used to think of Tucker Carlson, Marjory Taylor Green, and Bernie Sanders as extreme political theater. Their honest transparent, and vocal opinions about Israel have really led me to rethink them and listen to them lately.

> Their honest transparent, and vocal opinions

How do you know the opinions are honest? That strikes me as not easily assessable. What does it mean that an opinion is transparent?

austin-cheney8mo ago

I believe they are honest because they are pushing factual numbers and speaking in reference to eye witness accounts.

But we know, with absolute certainty, from the Dominion lawsuit subpoenas, that Tucker Carlson was privately telling people that Trump was awful, while publicly saying the opposite.

His private texts include, "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait.”

And

"I hate him passionately. ... I can't handle much more of this”.

He was sending these texts while publicly repeating the standard Fox News lines about how great Trump is, etc.

How can you ever consider him honest, after this?

In 2018, MTG suggested that the CA fires were a result of The Rothchilds sending laser beams to earth and missing their intended target.

I am skeptical of any numbers from a war zone with a public relations war going on at the same time. This appears to be generally admitted, as witnessed by quotes as the long standing and cross cultural "the first casualty of war is truth." [1]

So I'm curious. How do you know the numbers are factual and they eye witnesses are what they say they are?

Bernard Sanders is against Israel despite being Jewish. It is surprising because he seems to be one of the few people who is not corruptible despite technically having religious and cultural links to Israel.

It comes down to the fact that he is a normie. He sees people dying and he instinctively speaks against it. It is similar with economical and other political talking points.

Bernie Sanders is Jewish but does not claim to have any such links to Israel.

He has religious and cultural links to Israel. He can become a citizen of Israel anytime he wishes. He probably has family there as well.

Are you talking about the same Tucker Carlson which is paid off by the Russian regime to spread Russian propaganda?

Bernie Sanders is an extremist (politically)? That’s kind of a hot take IMO.
