  1. Americans and all other Westerners NEED to pay attention to this because its a great example of the use of political 1/2 truths. The problem with political 1/2 truths is that because of the bit that's true THE LIE gets credibility and gets believed or accepted by the audience. ITS TRUE America (the mainland) was never bombed during WW1 or WW2 or during the Wars in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, or Afghanistan BUT IGNORES THE FACTS THAT 1000s and 1000s of Americans were in those conflicts and DIED in those conflicts. IT IGNORES the incredible expense paid by the American people in straight financial cost of those conflicts. IT IGNORES the fact Parts of America have been attacked in the past Hawaii and the Aleutians in WW2. Washington was actually invaded and parts of it burned to the ground buy the British during the War of 1812 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington. What about New York and 9/11 or the wars that followed? Aren't those scars enough for Tucker to be proud of being American? Aren't all the 1000s of American service men and women who died in Iraq & Afghanistan enough for Tucker to be proud of being American? Aren't all the 1000s and 1000s of American service men and women with permanent damage from serving in Iraq & Afghanistan enough for Tucker to be proud of being American? You see when you tell a political 1/2 truth its then very easy to tell lies and have the audience believe them or for the audience to completely ignore historical facts

  2. Actually that's a very good point. People like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Pol Pot or any of the other dictators of recent history got into power by themselves. A couple of them were very competent public speakers like Hitler. BUT they all had those people who helped convince the masses that these people (who were all monsters) were benevolent, kind and loving leaders. If Trump didn't have people like Tucker spinning 1/2 truths for him he'd be nothing. I just noticed in my recommendations there is a Fox vid with Tucker that has the title "Hungarian prime minister hits back at Biden calling him a 'thug' on 'Tucker'" Pardon me but was it Trump or Biden who told his supporters to throw protesters out of his rallies and beat them up? Was it Trump or Biden who sent an angry mob to the capitol building screaming (among other things) to hang the Vice President? You see Trump is nothing without people like Tucker. Just as Hitler, Stalin, Mao and all the others would have been nothing without their versions of Tucker.

  4.  @jacqdanieles  I'm actually an Australian who went to college on a sports scholarship. So on the personal level I'm really concerned for the futures of my friends and their families. As an Australian America is our most important trading and SECURITY partner. We've made the F35 (as have a few others) the central point of our security for the next 30-+years. Just off our northern coast are several incredibly populous Asian nations a couple of which have ongoing fundamentalist conflicts and further North is China with all its issues. No matter if an Australian likes, dislikes or is indifferent we all agree on one thing. A healthy functioning America is in our best interest. And yes many of us know we will never be able to apologize enough for the existence of Rupert Murdoch or the damage he's done.

  6.  @gdjherp1295  There's a problem with that and its called 74 million who voted Trump in 2020. If you think that many people will just switch off you need to re-evaluate what's happening. That number was 11 million more than 2016. MAGA isn't shrinking its growing because people like Tucker are feeding the rage. This is actually incredibly dangerous for America's future. Just remember the Soviet Union and the Communist block were there one day and then simply just gone in a few weeks.

  8.  @op3129  Have you seen the leaked footage of the German journalist who threw it back in Tuckers face about being a millionaire paid for by billionaires. Carlson blew a fuse.
