CRAZY TO THINK.
He's really become a national treasure.
For our ruling class, more investment banking is always the answer. They teach us it’s more virtuous to devote your life to some soulless corporation than it is to raise your own kids. Sheryl Sandburg of Facebook wrote an entire book about this. Sandburg explained that our first duty is to shareholders, above our own children. No surprise there. Sandburg herself is one of America’s biggest shareholders. Propaganda like this has made her rich. What’s remarkable is how the rest of us responded. We didn’t question why Sandburg was saying this. We didn’t laugh in her face at the pure absurdity of it. Our corporate media celebrated Sandburg as the leader of a liberation movement. Her book became a bestseller: Lean In. As if putting a corporation first is empowerment. It’s not. It’s bondage. Republicans should say so.
They should also speak out against the ugliest parts of our financial system. Not all commerce is good. Why is it defensible to loan people money they can’t possibly repay? Or charge them interest that impoverishes them? Payday loan outlets in poor neighborhoods collect 400 percent annual interest. We’re ok with that? We shouldn’t be. Libertarians tell us that’s how markets work: consenting adults making voluntary decisions about how to live their lives. OK. But it’s also disgusting. If you care about America, you ought to oppose the exploitation of Americans, whether it’s happening in the inner city or on Wall Street.What kind of country do you want to live in? A fair country. A decent country. A cohesive country. A country whose leaders don’t accelerate the forces of change purely for their own profit and amusement. A country you might recognize when you’re old. A country that listens to young people who don’t live in Brooklyn. A country where you can make a solid living outside of the big cities. A country where Lewiston, Maine seems almost as important as the west side of Los Angeles. A country where environmentalism means getting outside and picking up the trash. A clean, orderly, stable country that respects itself. And above all, a country where normal people with an average education who grew up no place special can get married, and have happy kids, and repeat unto the generations. A country that actually cares about families, the building block of everything.
What will it take a get a country like that? Leaders who want it. For now, those leaders will have to be Republicans. There’s no option at this point. But first, Republican leaders will have to acknowledge that market capitalism is not a religion. Market capitalism is a tool, like a staple gun or a toaster. You’d have to be a fool to worship it. Our system was created by human beings for the benefit of human beings. We do not exist to serve markets. Just the opposite. Any economic system that weakens and destroys families isn’t worth having. A system like that is the enemy of a healthy society.

Does anyone know who that colonel was? He was brilliant
'Millionaires made in that 7 area codes.'
What am I missing, is that English?
I used to love Judge Andrew Napolitano, though Tucker has pulled way ahead
in my book, especially after some calls from Andrew that I just couldn't
buy.
I remember people around here thought Glen Beck was a national treasure too. Lol...
Then he $#@! on and torpedoed every major liberty candidate we had.....especially when it mattered. Aka Debra Medina
Sorry If I have reservations for acknowledging ANYONE who holds a MSM Commentator position as anyone who might be legitimate.

Tucker Carlson would be a horrible schill, I mean who wouldn't buy a car from Tucker, I would.
I hope Tucker isn't just telling us what he knows libertarians and conservatives like to hear, after
looking at the rank and file of Fox over the years; Hannity, O'Reilly , why didn't they just fire Tucker,
why is he still there... (rhetorical)
Maybe everyone else is fine with the 50 commercials on this clip from Fox,
I let first commercials run if I like the presenters, but when I see them lined up
in the wings, I kill it as soon as the 2nd add starts.
I think he's holding on by a string. He's already been reprimanded according to sources.

Corporate GOP runs Fox News. Carlson essentially voices detailed monologues in fierce opposition to this craven corporate culture. In other words, he's not long for the channel.
I'd buy your car too. Can you make me believe again? I want to believe in Tucker again, so bad.
Granted, I can't watch this now, but this is concerning:

Stupid Fox, Tucker Carlson is just too smart, they have an anti war anchor pushing conflicting political views using their own property. Tucker Carlson is just hitting them with their own fists and they are powerless to do anything to stop him. Tucker Carlson is just that charismatic so they are hypnotized into not even understanding what he is doing to them with their own property.
I almost feel bad for Tucker, a liberty advocate having to work against his own political views for Fox. I mean how does he sleep at night, but then I realized that Tucker is just too smart for them to figure out his 4d chess he is sleeping on a bed of money while punching fox with their own fists and they can't do anything about it. Ben Swann wasn't that smart, they took him off the air real fast.
They are torn between revenue and keeping their rear guarded. But he won't be there long, especially if the sponsors have the final say. He's too controversial. Someone like Ben Shapiro could replace him.
Tucker Carlson's propaganda isn't controversial, he is just the dog.
Yes, the dog who's tradcon. We need more dogs like him. More like the late Charles Lindbergh.Tucker Carlson's propaganda isn't controversial, he is just the dog.
Great observation , I hope the string holds provided he is sincere.
Someone just mentioned Shapiro could replace him, Shapiro is a hack , especially against
someone at Tucker's level.
Give us a sampling of what you view as Tucker's 'Propaganda' .
opcorn:
''Everything he says'' ...is not an example.
As long as he is talking about private decisions Tucker is right.Granted, I can't watch this now, but this is concerning:

Money is just a medium of exchange. The free market is about freely deciding what you value most. Arguments against the free market are about one person making decisions for another against their free will.

Wow - I finally got a chance to watch this. If this is what Fox viewers are watching, there's no wonder why they're confused.
Tucker is spouting a bunch of bull$#@! wrapped up in roses. He says many right things in between loads of crap that he has to know is crap.
Corporations pushed for pot legalization?! Uh, no. That was the people. 'Some' corporations finally recognized the public demand and then pushed for it. Only once the industry got lobbyists did the tide start to turn.
Market capitalism is a tool like a toaster created by humans?? No. Market capitalism is what naturally happens when government stays out of commerce. He has to know he isn't talking about market capitalism - why trash it??
I could go on and on with this point counterpoint BS, but it's clear that Tucker is the tool. Keep the people divided and confused, Tucker. You're doing a hell of a job.

There was nothing out of context. I just started watching the clip and he ranted about Mitt Romney because he is (in Tucker's left wing view) a private equity guy who destroyed companies and got rich on top of what you mentioned. Tucker thinks driverless cars should be restricted because they will take jobs away. Tucker thinks Teddy Roosevelt saved capitalism. Tucker thinks trade is bad. Tucker is pretty bad across the board on economic issues.
On the whole Tucker Carlson is doing a lot of good, but the free market is really a weak spot for him..

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
Tucker must be reading Kirk:
Under ruthless capitalism, Kirk argued, a man becomes “a social atom, starved for most emotions except envy and ennui, severed from true family-life and reduced to mere household-life, his old landmarks buried, his old faiths dissipated.”
