We've seen plenty examples of Obama's response to 'a crisis' in previous years - got in front of tv cameras, used teleprompter to deliver speeches of nothing burgers, needed $$$$ money to distribute to his cronies, etc. etc.
If Tucker doesn't know Donald Trump HAS BEEN responding to "crisis after crisis" since 2015, esp. after his unexpected win in Nov 2016, Carlson might as well be in a different day job (in his bio, "American conservative journalist and political commentator") because he's not very observant.
Maybe Tucker Carlson has the insider knowledge of internal polls which we know nothing about, I think he's relied too much on current polls to spew this monologue. And usually he's smarter than that.
I think he has to say something for an hour every night and after a while some of it has got to be garbage to fill time. These guys spout to make a living whether they’re on the left or the right or the middle.
and from what I can see of the billions and billions in spending since 2000 neither side’s media has moved the dial even slightly in the other direction
Today Rush said that DJT isn’t completely confident that the military will obey his orders regarding these domestic riots. If that is true, the coup has succeeded.
It’s much harder for a president to have an effect when his own party will not support him. How can you lead when you have no followers? The Republicans are letting this country be destroyed by fanatics.
No one should be at all surprised. The criminal class has always dreamed of a world without police and that’s all this amounts to.
I suspect that Tucker Carlson, who is well aware that he's getting very high ratings right now, thinks he can goad President Trump into doing something before he (the President) is ready to do so.
There is lots of time from now until the election (130 days to be exact, four months and eight days). If we go back 130 days from today, it was February 17th, which is when the Wuhan Coronavirus crisis was just beginning to really take hold.
A hell of a lot can happen in 130 days, as we have seen. The reality of what mob rule means will only become more obvious over time. President Trump knows the election will be won in the last two or three weeks before election day.
He doesn't even know for sure who he's running against. There's a fairly large chance the Democrats will switch out Joe Biden for someone else. The target has to come into view before he can do battle against it.
On November 4 prepare to decide how you will live or die.
“Trump has to retake the initiative. The case for Trump was never to sit back and watch the country devolve into chaos. Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz could have done that with a lot less consternation about their tweeting. Trump was not elected for his awesome personality or ability to bring the country together. People know that, and I don’t think anyone is pretending that’s who he is. He was elected precisely to avoid moments like we are currently in. It’s not a coincidence that his failure to take action over the last month has led to his worst approval ratings in recent memory. Meanwhile, Trump was tweeting about Carly Fiorina yesterday, someone most swing voters don’t even know exists.
Many will scoff at Carlson’s warning, but they ignore him at their own peril. Even assuming every single poll is fake, including Trump’s internal polls which also show him losing, wouldn’t you rather be safe than sorry? Every Trump supporter should be treating this election like he actually is down 10 points (which is his current RCP average deficit). Over-confidence and assumptions about the economy rebounding or a “silent majority” are how you wake up with Joe Biden as President-elect in November. That’s a reality the country can’t afford.”

Tucker is tantruming like a debate club president
Write the speech you want “ Trump” to give
Stand up and lead a movement
Organize
Submit a plan for open discussion
Tucker has a platform
Back the President.
Don’t whine that Trump ( alone) has to DO something
As if he is not DOING things that are not public knowledge
King Louis 16th was a also a great man, but weak on crime and he let the ‘progressives’ in 1789 ransack France.
They cut his head on two years later.
Tuck deliberately is ignoring things President Trump has done. He’s also failed to report on those things when they happened.
I think this was a grudging support of voting for Trump because Tucker is getting blowback.
Please don’t worship Tucker he’s a bit of an sob.
Otherwise he’s been correct
Got to say I agree with Tucker. What he said last night shook me and made me realize that Trump could lose. Trump needs to get out ahead of the riots. No, I don’t know how but Trump has lost the initiative and that always looks weak. We need to put some points on the board. Have a couple of strong showings, victories, to reassure the base as well as the undecideds.
Trump is practicing federalism, allowing the states to have their sovereignty, for better or worse. The media and the dems are all hoping he will get involved so they can blame him.
In the meantime, everyone will need to talk to their neighbors to see if they have an interest in community security.
I feel the majority of the people are getting frustrated. They are afraid. They want action not talk and sorry to say the President is just talking right now!
The President has responded and is continuing to respond.
Tucker is not doing his homework well. If he needs a vacation, he can find several qualified commentators to fill in for him.
I scan selected channels for information, not necessarily news because news is a variable product which may be defective. Quality news from corporate studios is hard to come by. Tucker’s current rant themes are devoid of information other than his personal goal to agitate for views and appear ‘balanced’ to the advertisers that threaten Fox’s Ad revenue.
Tucker rants that “Trump supporters don’t want to hear” his recent spew. They will gladly hear bad news about the 2020 election prospects if there are facts of substance to back it up, but there are none. So Tucker is merely using the time to round up his network’s cash cows
Get your resume ready Tuckus, and send it over to OANN.
I understand Carlson. He hates what he is seeing. So do I.
Like almost everything Trump has faced the last 4 years, this is an organized political action, designed to push him into a trap. There’s nothing more the Left and their corrupt media cronies would love to have on film than National Guard shooting at activist blacks and snowflake white “protestors.”
Trump is not taking the bait.
So Trump is taking the road of talking tough, letting the public see the continued chaos and stupidity of local leftist politicians in places like Seattle, and riding out criticism from some in his own base, like Tucker Carlson.
I believe Trump is playing this correctly.
I’m convinced Trump’s falling in the polls in recent weeks with suburban women and independents can be traced back to his tweet regarding the riots and looting that occurred in response to Floyd’s murder. His quoting of the Miami police chief in 1967, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts”, is at the core of his slump in the polls. Its the reason various advertisers like North Face and Verizon are boycotting Facebook and Twitter for not blocking “hate speech”. The perception is that he is advocating violence against blacks instead of pointing out how chaos begets violence.
There’s still time to counter this meme but if he loses in November this will be remembered as a key self inflicted turning point.
I think Tucker has a daddy problem.
I remember Tucker from other shows on which he appeared.
He goes on for a while, making good sense, and on ...and on.
And, for me, he always goes just one step too far.
This is that step.
The President of the United States is not supposed to give us hugs. He has told us to be vigilant, to be careful, to be patient for a vaccine, which will be here soon.
What can he say to you, Tucker, to make you feel better?
See Trump World boils over as campaign hits skids

In the name of Cultural Marxism, domestic terrorist organizations are waging a highly-coordinated and well-funded kinetic war against the United States of America, which includes including rioting, looting, arson, monument destruction, police ambushes, beatings, homicides and vandalism. There has been no effective push-back because the corrupt media is prepared to demonize and destroy anyone who puts a stop to this anarchy.
Nothing will change as long as there are no meaningful consequences that are equally kinetic. I suggest taking a page from (Democrat) Richard Daley’s 1968 Chicago riots playbook and turn law enforcement and the military loose to restore order and civil control. Playing patty cakes with these criminal neo-Marxists will not remedy this problem, not now - not ever.
Furthermore, declare BLM, Antifa and all others official domestic terrorist organizations, then freeze or seize their U.S. assets and those of all individuals and entities that are contributing to their existence, in cash or in kind, foreign or domestic, then indict and prosecute using RICO, the responsible individuals thereof for treason. The FBI already knows who they are, and Americans will be shocked to learn who’s actively dedicated to the destruction of America.
There’s your “Reset Button.”
