THE TUCKER FACTOR, IDEOLOGY & THE INSIDE SCOOP
YOU'RE FIRED!
“Daniel J. Flynn, a longtime contributor to National Review, penned an entire book, titled Intellectual Morons, denigrating the very idea of adhering to a principled system of thought. “Ideology deludes, inspires dishonesty, and breeds fanaticism,” says Flynn.9 …”
“… Jonah Goldberg who calls Trump un-conservative for his lack of principles, himself said, years earlier, “Any ideology or outlook that tries to explain what government should do at all times and in all circumstances is un-conservative.”11
Absent “ideology,” what do conservatives reference for political guidance? The answer is: traditions—especially those in the Judeo-Christian mold.” - OBJECTIVE STANDARD Feb. 1, 2016
Leftwing ideology is replacing tradition with a system of trespass, transgressions, violations of social, financial, behavioral, cultural and sexual norms, in a context of rage, dysfunction, unhappiness, failing schools, social failure, and cynicism. It created WOKE, CRT, the huge rise in crime, and the cultural craziness you are experiencing. Is it a wonder these unselfaware people are angry all the time?
An Orweillian, weaponized-by-radical progressive government, without restraint, filled with hubris, ideology and righteousness, used its police powers with a cooperating progressive media, to crush the constitutional rights and speech of American citizens. We know how media and social media, beholden to only one party, censored and blacked out the conservative press such that The People only saw favorable news that enhanced the Democrat’s powers, while they covered up and omitted, legitimate reporting unfavorable-to-Democrats.
At this moment ongoing congressional investigations are busy unpacking the Biden Crime Family’s activities and grifting. The president’s extended family of grifters, a dozen identified at this time, had no legitimate businesses from which they had paid themselves and laundered tens, possibly hundreds of millions. This self-dealing was hidden behind offshore LLCs, shady financial schemes and other cover, while they had avoided paying taxes on their ill-gotten income.
The western media, as well as European governance: the European court CJEU, the European Parliament and its 226 MEPs in George Soros’ pockets, speak with one voice: with disdain, utter contempt and hatred of freedom, self-governance, disrespect for the sovereignty of member states, conservatism, and common sense.
This introduction provides the context in which Tucker Carlson’s end at America’s largest conservative media can be understood.
“Russell Kirk—widely regarded as the godfather of modern conservatism—insisted that “conservatism is the negation of ideology.”7 Contra Lowry’s claim that conservatism is about ideas and principles, not just attitudes, Kirk explained that conservatism is precisely about a particular attitude and not about any system of ideas—the latter of which Kirk equated with dogma: “The attitude we call conservatism is sustained by a body of sentiments, rather than by a system of ideological dogmata.”8 - OBJECTIVE STANDARD Feb. 1, 2016
The stories you’ve read in the news are half truths. The happy chuckling Tucker face with his happy chuckling wife’s face on a golf cart in Florida, photos of which you may have seen, was for show. As it were, Tucker’s show constituted unprincipled ideology, not conservatism as you’ll see here.
After a series of warnings from FOX’s chiefs, not just the Murdoch Family (which he ignored), Tucker was so committed to, and invested in, his patently preposterous narratives, that once new facts had arrived he could not back out. His ideology was dividing the conservative world.
FOX’s board, Murdoch, investors and other honchos, as well as FOX’s other hosts according to the WASHINGTON POST were “disturbed by Carlson’s stance on Ukraine. A graphic on Carlson’s show had referred to Volodymyr Zelensky, president of the besieged nation, as a “Ukrainian pimp,” and the host had repeatedly (literally hundreds of times) excoriated the U.S. government for providing aid to Ukrainian (and by extension, European) defense against Russian atrocities.”
Tucker’s persistent and predictable narratives constituted neither entertainment, nor news, nor facts, but rather, attempts at brainwashing of, and contempt for, his audience’s intelligence.
“These stances had made Carlson a star on Russian state-controlled TV. But they had drawn furious blowback from powerful Republicans (and FOX’s viewers) who see U.S. support for Ukraine as a bulwark in a fight for freedom and democracy — some of whom had Murdoch’s ear. After one such on-air segment in mid-March, Murdoch joined a Fox newsroom meeting to loudly challenge Carlson’s message…"
“…interviews with people inside Fox…made it clear…that Carlson was more trouble than he was worth…” …”CEO Suzanne Scott and Lachlan Murdoch had made the decision to fire Carlson on Friday evening…according to two people familiar with the discussion…after months of tension and complaints within Fox about Carlson’s lack of respect for Fox’s upper ranks.
The move was a shock for Carlson…”
So much for the “happy” chuckling Tucker & Tucker Wife’s Faces Show.
ADVERTISERS WERE FLEEING FOX. CARLSON’S REPORTED $20 MILLION PAY MAY NOT MERIT THE REVENUE HE GENERATED.
“…By the end, Carlson’s main advertiser was MyPillow, the company owned by…Mike Lindell. But Fox publicly stood by the host — until Monday…”
The rumor that Rupert Murdoch was selling FOX is untrue. Carlson's firing had nothing to do with it or with the Deep State and the Military-Industrial Complex “wanting to wage war in Ukraine.” It had nothing to do with Pfizer, Moderna, the CDC & NIH, and Anthony Fauci.
It had nothing to do with the paranoid choir at the political extremes, left or right. unfamiliar about geopolitical or intelligence issues, folk who never read a copy of NATIONAL INTEREST.
FOX is the Gorilla in the Room. No other conservative media comes close.

Other FOX hosts became aware that Tucker never hosted opposing views, or addressed legitimate critics. With his contrived, evasive, distracting narratives missing historical or documented context, Tucker muddied the important issues. Accordingly, his conclusions were based on fantasy - wishing and hoping. Ideology.
Tucker never exposed the whole truth about his guests - many of whom were well-known progressive activists with a decades-long history of sucking up to the Kremlin. He never questioned for example:
ARE YOU, THE VIEWER, A CONSERVATIVE?
As a Hungarian conservative from the planet’s most conservative nation, I’ll answer that:
Don't tell me you are, if you're party to the old antisemitic right, or the Jihadi antisemitic social democrat left. Both are clearly anti-American. The social Democrat-Progressive Party don’t hate America. They just don’t like it much.
Don't tell me you are, if you've surrounded yourself with leftwingers and leftwing narratives as a rule, rather than an exception. Conservatives conserve the good. Progressives liberally curse, disrespect, ignore, trespass and transgress, every tradition and norm known to humanity.
Don't tell me you are after you’ve adopted a political, rather than a scientific view of medicine, and then smugly coupled it to a series of conspiracy theories about “Big Pharma” evildoers. Don't tell me that vaccine hesitancy is a worthy cause to die for. Or it makes you a patriot.
Don’t tell me that wrapping yourself in the American flag to then hate your fellow conservatives represents patriotism.
CONSERVATISM-DEFINITIONS
Sir Roger Scruton on What It Means to Be a Conservative

FOX was aware that Tucker Carlson managed to do what no Democrat has ever achieved.
Taking a cleaver to conservatism, Tucker split America's conservatives right down the middle.
He did it from FOX’s brightly-lit primetime soapbox.
Then he kept dividing them after months of warnings for him to “Just Stop It!”
In behalf of the global leftwingers, antisemites, including the Jewish antisemites now representing the Russian Federation from Brazil, Tucker had no intention to stop it. Some of these men living in now-communist Brazil in exile, for fear of arrest by American authorities, hate America as much as the Kremlin hates American hegemony.
If the purpose of Tucker’s narratives were not obvious to you, I’ll clarify them:
They are meant to mock, sow doubt, demoralize Americans and West's war efforts, and rip apart what’s left of Western cohesion.
China is doing likewise to cover for its ambitions in Taiwan.
Serious conservative billionaires, the Murdochs, understood.
That some Americans do not, after having marinated themselves in preposterous conspiracy stories on the fringes, is hardly the Murdochs’ fault.
Who tells you this?
Your very favorite investigative journalist:
ELITE CAPTURE - Peter Schweizer
…who also wrote:
He’s the author you've seen at FOX countless times who unpacked the Clinton Foundation grifting and the Clinton’s sale of America's uranium to Putin to self-deal themselves $145 million. The man who gave you the facts on Biden Crime Family racketeering years ago - now being unpacked in Congress!
Tucker deserves credit elsewhere however: He thoroughly covered The Laptop from Hell to expose the deviant fruit that fell from the Biden tree, and the crime family’s self-dealing and money laundering.
Obama’s and Biden’s government agents told you it was “Russian Disinformation.”
In fact they sold disinformacia - not of Russian origin - to get their man elected.
The same men complicit in selling Americans disinformation about Donald Trump and Russia in 2015 - to prevent Trump getting elected. The same men who ordered the raid on Mar-a-Lago because they can’t win legitimately at the polls.
Disinformation MADE IN AMERICA, by a Deep State WAGING WAR ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE in a global scheme at self-enrichment for Democrat elites only.
Biden and the 51 intel agents Anthony Blinken recruited to lie to the American people made sure Biden got elected. It was not election interference.
The two impeachments and the January 6th Clown Show, the preposterous NYC indictment, were not election interference.
Donald Trump calling the SecState of Georgia in a private phone call AFTER Biden got elected is, election interference.
You see how easy it is to interfere with elections after they happened?
You don’t?
From Day One Peter Schweizer, FOX’S Steve Hilton, FOX’s Mark Levin, George Friedman of STRATFOR Intelligence and the Center for Geopolitical Studies (CGPS) and I, have been on the same page about Ukraine, geopolitics, history, and intelligence.
Neither of us play in Tucker Carlson's fantasy sandbox with respect to Ukraine or vaccines. Certainly not after Tucker Carlson, his family, film crew, and RFK Jr.’s families have been vaccinated up the wazoo, after which Tucker lied about his status.
TUCKER’S LYING PROBLEM:
Tucker Carlson entered Hungary August 2021 to broadcast a week of shows.
Vaccine requirements to enter were lifted June 2022. How do I know this?
This author was in Budapest the week Tucker broadcast his shows from the rooftop of the spectacular Matild Palace, where Wolfgang Puck’s Beverly Hill’s SPAGO served terrific grub.
“…This brief overview of prominent conservatives’ views of the nature of conservatism…also show the absurdity of (some) conservatives claiming that Trump isn’t a conservative because he’s disdainful of ideas. The truth is that Trump’s disdain for ideas makes him the poster boy for the attitude conservatives have advocated for decades.” - OBJECTIVE STANDARD Feb. 1, 2016
“Ideology deludes, inspires dishonesty, and breeds fanaticism” - Daniel J. Flynn
A single sentence that explains progressivism in a nutshell.
“Conservatism is not an ideology. It is the antidote to ideology!” - Sir Roger Scruton - after having been Knighted by the Queen…
Scruton is seen here with the great Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, awarding the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary.
Conservatism is a sentiment to conserve what is good and valuable. One that naturally and harmoniously blends with human life. As the Ten Commandments and perjury laws have proscribed, conservatives are forbidden to lie.
Lying is what progressives do because that is who they are.
The termination of the Tucker Factor was a well-thought out given, considered over many months of controversy, as the FOX Corporation’s attorneys gathered the evidence you’ve just seen here.
