My father may he Rest In Peace was a staunch republican, he to would be embarrassed by today’s GQP!
@Thomas John Let’s Go Bannon
@Alpha66 70 million Americans voted for Trump, the highest vote count for a Republican ever! And now you have your jojo, Fascist. trying his best to squelch freedom everywhere he can. Swinging open the door to violence, drugs, anti sovereign policy. China-loving corruption funneled through his drug-addled son. Biden has historically low ratings and Democrat voters have buyers remorse. Post coital depression. YOu got f’cked, simple as that.
@Swagman21 exactly! Let’s go BRANDON! I’m even wearing the tee shirt!
@Charles A Smith You have your parties confused. Biden’s ratings are lower than any President ever. Kamala is worse . Now there is an embarrasment. Please try to defend her here so I can have a good belly laugh. I’ll take my mask off to do so.
@Scottie Lambert , Awesome! Wise Words my friend 👏
Here is a shocking example of what the Republican party has become.
In Mar, 2019, a woman takes the stage at an event hosted by Steve Bannon and calls for a Trump dictatorship.
“Never in my life did I think I would like to see a dictator,” the woman told the crowd. “But if there’s going to be one, I want it to be Trump.” Bannon then clapped and smiled.
People who have seen this clip were shocked and appalled. Not only does the woman claim that she never thought she would agree with a dictatorship crushing the U.S., she fully supports the idea of Trump being that dictator, and single-handedly ruling over the nation.
While the woman’s words alone should strike fear into your heart for the fate of our country, the audience’s response is the most telling.
There was not a moment of concern on many of the attendees’ faces. Instead, many of the attendees, like Bannon, were grinning from ear to ear as they applauded the outrageous idea of elevating Trump to a dictator.
The woman’s comment and the crowd’s reaction is a serious cause for concern.
Why continue as a democracy when we can go the way of Russia&Venezuela?
And these very same people have the audacity to call themselves “patriots.”
@Casey Helmer, wait until you find out about Trump and his cultists being involved in sex trafficking along with Matt Gaetz.
@Morbidly Oppressed, you have been reported for bullying and harassment.
@Morbidly Oppressed, now I’ve reported you for spewing misinformation.
@reality and the other side prefer to knock down and tremble democracy, kill who ever gets on their way, even police officers doing their duty, they dont like kids that dont march to their drummer but like Senators that exploit them sexually and drugs! Let friends built islands and bring children so they cant excape! Brothels for the rich and best friends!
We should let all these wanna be Fascists live in North Korea for a year. They’re spoiled by freedom, don’t wanna live in a country without it. I bet once they get the feel of a real Dictator, they will change their tune fast 😮
Tucker Carlson: “I’m totally confused”.
Rep. Mike Turner: “Clearly…” Im in tears 😂😂
@MVE 😎
Play the confusion game, and your confused audience loves you because they are not the only ones in a permanently state of confusion!
Right?!! LOL
@56kof are you good at google search? Educate yourself on tucker, fox and the industry ratings. Cnn is dead last and fox is number 1 in every time slot including tucker. He has the most viewers and is rewarded with $20 million per year. Now you will try to rrply with that havkneyed, tired narrative of dumb viewers but you didn’t pull your head out of your rectum long enough to see that tucker has more educated viewers than cnn and also twice as many democrats watching. By the end of 2022, you and your wine club will be the only ones watching cnn.
@Jetta yes misery does like company.
That “bold new course” is over a cliff into the arms of authoritarianism, conspiracy theories and propaganda.
While I opposed Reagan on political and social issues, I don’t question his loyalty to the Constitution, basic human decency, honorable manhood nor his understanding that he was merely America’s steward.
@Jody Owen political parties are worse than organized crime. There are certainly corrupt unions but that’s true of any institution. However, if not for unions there’d be no such thing as overtime, protection against child labor, minimum wages, weekends, FMLA, worker safety OSHA, paid sick leave, social security, employer provided healthcare, dental, vision, meal breaks, ADA, sexual harassment laws, paid holidays, military leave, workers comp, etc. Read a book on the history of the labor movement in the US and then tell me who the evil criminals are. Who hired and let loose goons with machine guns on women and children. Sounds to me you lived an insulated life. I can tell you from lived experience working as a Grip in motion picture – non union companies are abusive, greedy evil-doers with no sense of common decency. The major studios/corporations are too but Local 80 is the reason I’ve been able to live with some dignity. It’s a big world – get out there.
@Ken Davis
I completely agree that 75 or 100 years ago unions were a necessary lever to get workplace protections in place. They are still in place.
I work in construction. Wherever possible I avoid union contractors or subcontractors. It adds 30% to 50% to prices and the quality of the work is slower and about the same.
I’m glad you’re doing something you enjoy that allows you to live well. But nothing in my lived experience shows me a net positive to unions.
@Jody Owen I hear ya. I’ve seen the abuse and net negative from union contracts. As with most things, no simple solution or single fix to an issue.
@Ѕқџ Gęṃἱחἱ
How exactly did you get sold out to the Russians, mouth breather?
I recall Ron Reagan speaking up when he felt his father’s administration was in the wrong, which impressed me. Now he speaks up when he finds that the Republican party has completely lost the thread. I appreciate that.
@Jerry Marasco
Sad troll likes its own comments.
@Swagman21
Sure. Sure
Up your meds
@BigBadJerry Rogers
Not going to happen. Unlike you I love my country. You and your pals want to change everything about it? Fine. Go where your utopian dreams are practiced. We aren’t changing America to suit them.
I appreciate that he called out his father’s administration when they were clearly off the rails in other respects, but I don’t recall him speaking out when the tape of his father calling black people ‘monkeys’ in a conversation with Nixon came to light.
@Jerry Marasco Question for you, Carlos Osorio, and ‘BigBad Jerry’ – who’s helping you three luddites pound-out these pearls of wisdom? My guess? Your mothers.
I never voted for Ronald Reagan, but I lived through those years and I can say that I respect him. It is very disrespectful to President Reagan to even mention Donald Trump in the same breath as Ronald Reagan.
@Steve Hansen yes trump will go down in history as the single most costly and ineffective presidency.
I never once questioned Reagans love for or commitment to our country, or his belief that what he was doing was for the common good. I thought some of his principles were wrong, but at least he had principles and we knew what they were.
@WindyCityLiz are you kidding me? He brought cocaine in by the ton, set up the nation for the heroin crisis, destroyed the middle class and sent a generation of citizens to prison.
@WindyCityLiz Exactly! And when Reagan sat across the table from Gorbachev, no one doubted Reagan’s loyalty.
Steve, I hate to tell you this but I’m sure fox propaganda won’t, Historians Rank trump Among Worst Presidents in US History.
Great interview! Ron, Jr. you are SO RIGHT….and I’m a Democrat!
Well he is a Democrat too, so you should agree with him. As I do. Just because his father was a Republican does not mean he is too.
So is he….He always has been.
Carlson: I’m totally confused’ . Guest: “Clearly” lmao
He’s been eating too many of those frozen TV dinners.
Priceless 😂🤣👍

It kills me that “being on the side of democracy,” has to be spelled out for Tucker
Tucker gets his check from the republican party to spread their propaganda he knows very well whats going on he is just another con man
It’s just a tactic to keep his audience interested on the subject! He cannot afford ‘ “to have nothing to say” that’s what his show is about! What he doesnt realize it is he looks as ignorant as those that tune in!
Democrats have no idea what democracy is or what it costs. Did you serve in the military?
“We’re on the side of democracy”
A statement that no one should ever have to say out loud.
@TeeArrBee such a dirty word.
The Republicans, party of resentment.
Trumps new name is Resentment Trump.
Donald Duck.
Take away the Donald.
@BigBadJerry Rogers You apparently have no idea how weak Russia is.
@M johnston They’re a nuclear superpower with a dictator who poisons his enemies in charge. But I guess you have the inside track, comrade?
Good interview. I always liked Ron Reagan, though there were issues his father espoused, which I didn’t agree with. The useless Star Wars boondoggle was one. It was a trillion dollar hand out to his buddies in the arms industry.
The RNC should have censured or expelled MTG, Bobert, Gosar and other Republicans in Congress but instead they censured Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger for following their oath to the constitution not a dictator want to be ex-#45. The RNC needs to be investigated for misappropriation of funds for paying the legal fees for the dictator want to be ex-#45.
They love the cesspool so they can’t shut the vile crazies down!

Spot on!
For a crowd whose motto is “Facts don’t care about your feelings,” their feelings seem to get hurt every time we bring up facts.
@Kevin Ganey leaving Americans families behind to die in Afghanistan sad you don’t see that as a problem
@Kevin Ganey or the mass invasion of illegals criminals crossing borders many Covid positive flying criminals around the country at night hmm 🤔 why at night? Not to mention him dirty families businesses
LOL 😁
@DAvid Cook So the reason Biden is doing better then Trump is because he didn’t steal the election lol? Well I suppose that’s something. I wonder what the young girls in Afghanistan think about Biden. Or the young girls being smuggled across our border and used as sex slaves bet they think Biden is great. I know when I go to the gas station and pay more than a dollar more for gas then head to the grocery store and see half empty shelves, I think to myself, at least Biden didn’t tell people to peacefully go to the capitol building and make their voice heard. I bet the Ukrainian people are so glad Joe Biden is at the helm and holding Putin back from say invading their country. I imagine the Taiwanese have that same warm feeling inside thinking about how tough Biden looks to Xi in china. I feel so safe knowing Kim Jong UN would never do anything because he’s scared Biden might actually do something. How are those COVID numbers doing now that the big mean orange menace is gone? For someone who doesn’t watch CNN you sure sound alot like everyone else on the CNN comment section who dont watch CNN lol smh.
Facts so much hypocrisy
I’ve seen lots of changes in our democracy, I even witnessed the partys shift during the Civil rights movement. Barry Goldwater and the Dixicrats becamr the new Republican Party.
Democrats became the new party of Lincoln and carried out his mission on equality.
In the 60’s, I’ve seen Nixon commit crimes and insist he wasn’t a crook, until he got caught. He voluntarily resigned.
The one thing I am having a hard time with is I never thought I’d live to see the day that Republicans would try to destroy our Republic.
Authoritarianism over our democracy. This has gone way too far. The Sedition Caucus must go. Trumpism has but one agenda. Destroy our Constitution and install an authoritarian regime. Vote these people out to save our freedoms and 🗽 liberties before it’s too late. Vote blue like your life depends upon it.
“A country that puts equality ahead of freedom gets neither . A country that puts freedom ahead of equality will get a good measure of both” M . Friedman
That was Goldwater’s conservative philosophy also . I have seen no evidence to prove otherwise.
Never thought I’d see the day when Reagan looked good to me!
Tucker: “I’m totally confused.”
Other guy: “Clearly.” LOL
Real news from a real newsroom, from real deadbeats
Truckers screeching voice. Is he going thru puberty?
@FWSC female white senior citizen No, I’m pretty sure eunuchs don’t go through puberty
2:47 for 2 seconds.
Big time!
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” -Ronald Reagan
Glad to know there are still good outspoken republicans denouncing and been clear about justice and democracy in the US
So to be a “good republican ” all they have to do is the bare minimum?
“Long running affirmative action for white men….” 😂 dam that’s the best line I’ve heard in years 😂
Yes. Reagan was repairing a long term lack of representation that appointing a woman was a first step to resolving.
Biden inherited a court which has had women and black men on the Court . Apples, meet oranges.
Exactly my thoughts. Ronald Reagan would be very disappointed in his party today….so would Abraham Lincoln
