About Tucker Carlson Network:

We’re building an alternative to legacy media

What is TCN?

Tucker Carlson Network is the new streaming platform that is home to exclusive all-new content from Tucker Carlson. We will regularly be releasing new video content that tells the stories that matter and helps you make sense of the world around you. Why We Founded TCN

News coverage in the West has become a tool of repression and control. Reporters no longer reveal essential information to the public; they work to hide it. Journalists act as censors on behalf of entrenched power. They have contempt for the public. They hate the truth.

Democracy can’t function in a society like this. Voters can’t know what they’re voting for. People do understand they’re being manipulated, and they resent it. The population becomes angry and paranoid. Things fall apart.

There’s only one solution to a propaganda spiral like the one we’re living through, and it’s telling the truth about the things that matter — clearly and without fear. That’s our job. We plan to do it every day, no matter what.

We are the sworn enemies of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. We believe the corporate media is broken beyond repair, and the only way forward is to build something better.[1]

    I say go ahead and criticize the Ukrainian and Russian governments and politicians, but that is not what you want to do.

    You only want to continue the status quo of Russophobia and pushing pro-war talking points.

    I will continue to push back on the status quo of mass murder and genocides my government continues to fund and support.

      What’s your feeling on Zoran Mandami? You posted a podcast recently that had some pretty interesting things to say about him.

        Zoran Mandami

        He seems like AOC 2.0.

        We already know and have tried these experiments with Bernie Sanders, AOC, the Justice Democrats, DSA, and many more.

        You don’t change the system from within; the system changes you.

        I agree with some of his views, but I know where this goes, so I won’t hold my breath.

        It is good, though, that someone like him is getting the working class to move away from the status quo, even if it is a little bit.

          You don’t change the system from within; the system changes you.

          Does this apply to Tucker Carlson?

          He’s not part of the system, so he can be a voice that’s worth elevating and amplifying so he can bring change? Something along those lines?

          If he got into politics, would it be the same “we already know,” would you know how it goes and so on and stop supporting him?

            Yes, he is similar to Joe Rogan in that regard.

            They are not interested in being politicians.

            They do go against the status quo on some issues, but they are closely aligned with certain views and people.

            The tech bro oligarchy are some that Joe Rogan continuously interviews, so his push for the working class is limited by how far he is willing to go.

            Again, Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson are critical of the duopoly, but they only go so far.

            Their dissenting views are more welcomed than the continued push of the Western regime’s propaganda we see from the Main Stream Media (MSM) since the day we are born.

            I think their views are important, though, since they both have sway with politics and the working class that others do not reach or try to reach.

              This is so fascinating lol

              Their dissenting views are more welcomed than the continued push of the Western regime’s propaganda we see from the Main Stream Media (MSM) since the day we are born.

              How would you contrast Carlson’s dissenting views with Mandami’s?

              Like what does Carlson think about Gaza, and what does Mandami? How do their views differ in that regard?

              Do you know what show Carlson used to host and where, that was his big entrance into mainstream media, and why he got fired from it? There’s a specific reason he got fired that is interesting. Also, there’s another specific reason he just got fired from the mainstream media, but that one’s a broader topic that gets into the difference between “a viewpoint” and the objective provable truth, which is pretty relevant to your whole shtick here. But, I’m asking about the first time he got fired, not the most recent one.

              Isn’t the fact that Carlson was extremely acceptable to the mainstream media, and they to him, apparently up until the point when he started costing them historic sums of money recently, relevant to your whole argument here? His whole thing used to be talking on the mainstream media in exchange for the MSM funding him to say a message they found to be acceptable.

              Also what did Mandami used to do before he got into politics? Do you think he has sway with the working class?

                Mandami is a liberal, with some ‘progressive’ views, and Carlson is a conservative, with some ‘libertarian’ views.

                They both hold some populist views.

                Mandami’s views are similar to AOC’s early pseudo-populist views that appealed to the working class, similar to Bernie Sanders.

                Carlson is more like Dave Smith. They are both willing to listen and talk with others they don’t agree with. They also talk and learn from Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

                They are both critical of the genocide Israel, with the full support of the United States, is doing to the Palestinian people. Their views differ on specifics.

                Yes, I know the shows Carlson was on and the reasons he was ‘fired.’ It has been a while, but I remember the basics.

                I think Rachel Maddow and Tucker Carlson share similarities in some of the lawsuits they faced for their shows.

                MSM and Tucker were at the hip until he started going against the status quo. Now with his new show, he is even more open about his dissident views that do not align with the oligarchy talking points.

                Mamdani “worked as a foreclosure prevention and housing counselor, assisting lower-income non-white homeowners in Queens with eviction notices and efforts to remain in their homes.”

                He does have sway with the working class in New York. Similar to Bernie Sanders, AOC, and others and their districts.

                FYI: I am more aligned with Sabby Sabs, RBN, and Jimmy Dore than Mamdani and Carlson.

                Edit:

                  Yes, I know the shows Carlson was on and the reasons he was ‘fired.’ It has been a while, but I remember the basics.

                  Which were?

                  I think Rachel Maddow and Tucker Carlson share similarities in some of the lawsuits they faced for their shows.

                  When was Rachel Maddow proven in court to have lied on purpose about something super important and cost her parent company almost a billion dollars?

                  Or if not that, what similarities did you mean?

                  MSM and Tucker were at the hip until he started going against the status quo.

                  He was always going against “the status quo.”

                  Carlson said immigration makes the country “poorer, dirtier and more divided”.

                  Carlson expressed his support for Donald Trump’s candidacy and his positions, such as his proposed “Muslim ban”, and criticized the other Republican candidates for not similarly making immigration a core issue.

                  Carlson opposes abortion and has said it is the only political issue he considers non-negotiable.[1][292][293] Carlson has described Roe v. Wade as “the most embarrassing court decision handed down in the last century”.[294]

                  Carlson has also said that he does not consider climate change a threat.[336] Carlson argues that global warming will have many positive effects on Earth, namely “more arable land in places like Canada and northern Europe”.[337]

                  Carlson said “Iraq is a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semi-literate primitive monkeys, that’s why it wasn’t worth invading.”.[364]

                  In a July 2018 interview about Russian involvement in U.S. elections, Carlson claimed that Mexico had interfered in U.S. elections “more successfully” than Russia by “packing our electorate” through mass immigration.[388]

                  In May 2019, Carlson defended Trump’s decision to place tariffs on Mexico unless Mexico stopped illegal immigration to the United States. Carlson said, “When the United States is attacked by a hostile foreign power it must strike back, and make no mistake Mexico is a hostile foreign power.”[390]

                  All of that was fine. The problem was when he cost them almost a billion dollars.

                  His rhetoric hasn’t really changed, it’s just gained a new and extremely explicit allegiance to Russia. That’s pretty much the only difference between then and now (and he wasn’t fired during any of the time when he was expressing it).

                  He was always anti-Israel, but I think that has more to do with the fact that they’re Jewish than that he has any sympathy with the Palestinians. For example he keeps constantly anguishing about the plight of Christian Palestinians, even though their numbers are pretty much negligible.
