Tucker Carlson, now officially the king of cable news, delivers historic challenge to GOP
American Thinker ^ | 07/01/2020 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 07/01/2020 5:35:43 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Tucker Carlson now has the highest ratings of any program in cable news history, adding extra weight to his historic program last night, in which he laid out the peril ahead if Biden wins and a clear strategy for the clueless GOP to follow in order to prevent that from happening.

If you missed Carlson's opening monologue last night, it is embedded below in full, all 10 minutes and 48 seconds of it.

I don't agree with every single point he made, but I still hope the mush-heads who keep the GOP acting like a whipped puppy, pathetically accepting the premises of the Democrats and trying to be accepted as by them and their media adjuncts, take heed.

Here is the peril Carlson sees if Biden wins (transcript via Fox News):

Republicans at all levels could lose this fall. If they do, there will be profound consequences for you. People who supported Donald Trump will be punished, there's definitely no question about that. There's never been an American political party as radical and as angry as the Democrats are now. Imagine them with unlimited power and that's what they plan to get in their first year[.] ... The point is, and it could not be clearer: Non-Democrats in America are in peril.

He invoked his interview with Senator Mike Braun Monday night, in which the Indiana Republican came across very badly in defending his support of a bill to make it easier to personally sue and bankrupt police officers for alleged abuses, a move that would drive every home-owning cop out of his profession.

“the Democratic Party using their allies in State Government especially in NY will legally go after Trump and his family....”

News flash! They will go after your family too!

If they win in Nov your only escape of their rath is to become a POS liberal puke, just like them.

There is no reforming the GOP, it’s dead. A new movement must rise from the ashes.

Have to agree here. At one time the Tea Party was supposed to be just that, an all new political party for conservatives but those initially involved allowed the RINO’s to get their noses under the tent and also allowed the RINO’s to make decisions on who could and could not be a member and it all went South because no litmus test was used. The come one come all process did it in. The RINO’s took control away from the conservatives as a result Back in the beginning and even I was not permitted to have a voice in at least three different local chapters of it because they didn’t want anyone rocking the RINO boat. I was even asked to leave at one of their chapter meetings by their so called leader for daring to bring up anything related to social issues.

Whichever direction conservatives take though a rigorous vetting process must be instilled to keep out the liberals and the RINO’s and anyone else that doesn’t conform to the ideology of social conservatism. The tea Party said oh no we can’t do that because it will slow down the growth of the effort, they wanted a big and fast growth but that didn’t happen. Well where is it at now? A litmus test should be used for vetting potential members so as to not let happen as what happened with the Tea Party happen again. Just my opinion here and if a litmus test method is not used I will not waste my time again. RINO's and liberals kill everything they touch.

Dead wrong. 180 degrees wrong.

RINOs are being primaried in multiple instances.

Any attempt to go third party will result in disaster.

I know it’s a petty point but I didn’t care for Tucker when he wore bowties. He finally grew up and started wearing regular ties. He has become a conservative media powerhouse. He really hit a home run last night! The republican party had better heed his message or America will go the way of the Roman empire.

I was always told to never trust a man wearing a bowtie. Maybe Tucker got the hint.

The interview with Senator Braun is a must watch. It really illustrates how gutless the GOPe is.

Carlson had a lot of good points that built the whole argument. The most important thing in Carlson’s monologue: voters must constantly demand that Republican politicians stand up for our country and our liberty. Because they have no principles and are “pleasers” who want approval and to remain in office, they will cave in to pressure. It’s up to us to apply lots of it.

There it is again, the same old worn out self defeating line once again. That's part of what killed all the efforts at reforming from within and harming efforts like the Tea Party to save conservatism. Spoken like a true moderate that can go either way depending on which way the political winds are blowing. The GOP is hopelessly dead.

"If you want to be left alone to do your job and raise your family in this country, you will need a protector. That protector must be the Republican Party. There are no other options, but it must be a very different kind of Republican Party."

Patriots must win as much control of constitutionally failed federal and state governments as they can in next election for sure.

Otherwise, regardless that Republicans haven't trampled the Constitution as much as Democrats have, it remains both of the constitutionally undefined, pro-globalist political parties trample the Constitution.

Patriots need to support PDJT in leading the sovereign states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and get the unconstitutionally big federal government’s big nose out of state affairs.

And to make such changes permanent, patriots need to follow through and support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

There is no way, ZERO, NONE, that you are more conservative than me.

Your pollyannish ideas will only lead to more Barack Obamas and AOC-Tlaib-Pressley types to be elected, and our courts to be filled with more activist Communist judges.

See, the reason you don’t KNOW anything is that you don’t READ anything.

I’ve already documented my distaste for RINOs in this thread, but you didn’t READ that, so you don’t KNOW that, or apparently much else.

Your illiteracy causes you to go by FEELINGS, not FACTS. Just like our friends on the Left. So your vision ends up in the same place as them, with the Far Left in control.

I believe we are done here, and it is my sincere hope you have learned something useful.

I have felt very good all along. Thanks for asking!

It’s what happens when I have literacy, history, and truth on my side.

And I have a passion for educating others. No tantrum from me. Sorry you, um, misread that.

Thanks again.

Tucker has been knocking it out of the park for a while now.

He has come a long way since his CNN days. Really impressed with Tucker!
