Looks like the whole Glenn Beck's interview with Tucker Carlson is available. Watching it now. 1h05min
Yeah, the second Beck went into his “Putin is a bad guy who throws people off of buildings” trope, I was out. He’s clearly the same hysterical moron who used to follow O’Reilly on Fox News. Nothing irks me more than a journalist going on about “free speech” when it’s clear that everything coming out of their mouths was paid for by someone.Looks like the whole Glenn Beck's interview with Tucker Carlson is available.

Don't give up so easily. The interview is an excellent lesson on how to navigate a conversation with a possessed interlocutor and not only get out alive but also make him believe you both are in agreement. In times like we have now, when you need all possible allies for the most important cause (in contrast to making enemies all around due to some disagreements), Carlson chooses his battles wisely. Notice that he never agreed to, or confirmed, Beck's obsessive accusations. He just kept ignoring it and turning the conversation back to US's problems. He's done a great job, IMO.Yeah, the second Beck went into his “Putin is a bad guy who throws people off of buildings” trope, I was out.

Okay, I’ll take a Zofran and try to get through it.Don't give up so easily.

I might be a bit more jaded in this sense, I assume JBP is against the WEF as a matter of ideology not principle nor reasoning. I've lost faith in him being able to reason his way through issues of global import independently, he attends to his ideological principles first, then builds a narrative around the position.People change, there is forgiveness to be strived for, but for some reason I've a hard time listening to the man - and he has a lot of valuable information to say on many subjects, even the Tucker crowd rejoiced at his WEF ending - and rightly so, however, how genuine is he now? How mixed up is he? How hypocritical is he? What is his 'new thing' - WEF light? Then there was Gaza...
I found it interesting, and thanks for posting. Beck's unsubstantiated vitriol towards Putin only made me cant stand him more than I couldn't stand him before And Tucker's sidestepping (as best he could) was understandable. But where I had to skip forward a bit, was when Beck twice seem to get on his knees to sugar sweetly praise Tucker...bleaach. Was that to get a chance to ride on Tucker's coat tails, or to start laying the groundwork for a Tucker political run?
I'm allowed to daydream for a moment. Trump as president and Carlson as press secretary and none of the old class of war mongers around Trump. There, my moment's up.I don't think he will end up in politics.
You've dreamed it, now it exists in another reality, and it's a cool reality :)I'm allowed to daydream for a moment. Trump as president and Carlson as press secretary and none of the old class of war mongers around Trump. There, my moment's up.
If the recent news is true, then someone tried to kill Tucker while he was in Russia. Video doesn't seem that credible, and the Russian MoD holds its cards pretty close to the chest so I don't know if they'd release such sensitive info. On the other hand, maybe they would.
I deleted the publication about the arrest of a saboteur who was preparing an assassination attempt on Tucker Carlson.
I have not found official sources confirming this information.
A native of Podolsk, recruited by the State Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, was detained for attempting to assassinate Tucker Carlson.
The detainee, on the instructions of his handlers, planned to plant a homemade explosive device under the car in which the journalist was traveling during a trip to Moscow.
But the plan failed to come true - the man was detained by security forces at the preparation stage. It was established that he was recruited by employees of the State Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine in November last year, and was promised $4,000 for a successfully completed task.
A criminal case was opened against him for preparing a terrorist attack, and he confessed.
