Tucker Carlson Launches First Episode, Goes Viral Within 24 Hours

(Congressional Agenda) – Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently launched the very first episode of his new show, “Tucker on Twitter” on the social media platform and it was a massive success. Given the fact that the 10-minute video, which seems to have been filmed at the pundit’s home studio, was viewed over 51.5 million times — as of this writing — the term “massive success” feels like an understatement.

This just goes to show that Tucker Carlson has no need of Fox News. But given how far down the drain the network’s ratings have gone since they unceremoniously booted him without even giving him an opportunity to say goodbye to his audience, it’s clear they desperately need him.

Too late. The bridge has been burned.

According to Tom Tillison of BizPac Review, “Carlson opened with a look at the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in the Russian-controlled area of southern Ukraine, which unleashed a flood of water into Crimea. While Ukraine blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin, Carlson reminded viewers of the Nord Stream Pipeline as he argued that it was not in Russia’s best interests to blow up the dam.”

Going on to stress the point that the mainstream media tells lies, Carlson remarked, “What’s happened to the hundreds of billions of US dollars we’ve sent to Ukraine? No clue. Who organized those BLM riots three years ago? No one’s gotten to the bottom of that. What exactly happened on 911? Well, it’s still classified. How did Jeffrey Epstein make all that money? How did he die? How about JFK? And so endlessly on. Not only are the media not interested in any of this, they are actively hostile to anybody who is in journalism. Curiosity is the gravest crime.”

Carlson then took an opportunity during the program to point out that an officer with the Air Force who worked in military intelligence just testified to the reality of UFOs and alien life, which ought to be earth shattering news but was not even touched by the vast majority of news networks.

“So if you’re wondering why our country seems so dysfunctional, this is a big part of the reason nobody knows what’s happening,” he added. “A small group of people control access to all relevant information, and the rest of us don’t know we’re allowed to yap all we want about racism, but go ahead and talk about something that really matters and see what happens. If you keep it up, they’ll make you be quiet. Trust us. That’s how they maintain control.”

Going on to make a comparison between modern-day Americans and uninformed citizens under the Soviet Union, Carlson finished up the first episode of his Twitter show by saying that he hopes to be a “shortwave radio under the blankets” openly proclaiming the truth.

“That’s how most of us now live here in the United States, manipulated by lies, silenced by taboos,” he said, closing out his program. “It is unhealthy and it’s dehumanizing. And we’re tired of it. As of today, we’ve come to Twitter, which we hope will be the shortwave radio under the blankets. We’re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave. But in the meantime, we are grateful to be here.”
