It’s still a little too early to predict the attack angle that Fox News Corp is constructing against Donald Trump for their announced control over the August 2023 presidential debate; however, the one thing we are certain of is the attack itself.
You might not remember how CTH accurately predicted the attack by Megyn Kelly and the specific angle of using sexism during the August 2015 debate. That accurate prediction was an assembly of datapoints including Kelly’s lead in television appearances; the fact that FOX’s vice-president of political content, Bill Sammon, was in charge of the debate format; the fact that Rupert Murdoch was promoting Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio; and the fact that Bill Sammon’s daughter, Brooke Sammon, was the communications director for the Rubio campaign. The prediction was accurate, and Megyn Kelly did exactly what Rupert Murdoch paid her to do.
By the time the second Fox News debate came around in Feb 2016, candidate Trump just ignored it and held a rally instead. This is the context for another round of Republican presidential debates, and the intent of Fox News and the RNC to support it, once again. Fox and the RNC have once again agreed to an August 2023 debate – President Trump leading by 30 to 40 points in the polls, has not. [SEE VIDEO] WATCH:
The second debate is scheduled for the Ronald Reagan Library, an ideological opposition group to the interests of MAGA. As noted by the New York Times, “The chairman of the library’s board of trustees, Frederick J. Ryan Jr., also serves as the publisher and chief executive officer of The Washington Post, a fact that Mr. Trump regularly brings up.”
The Ronald Reagan library venue is as establishment Republican as it gets. The America First agenda would find more support at the George W. Bush ranch in Texas. The board members of the Ron Reagan library hate Donald Trump and have never invited him there to speak. For President Trump, that venue is a non-starter.
We all know what both GOPe institutions holding and broadcasting Republican debates are going to attempt against President Trump. Which explains why President Trump has agreed to a CNN townhall event. Even with the pre-planted audience questions and attendees designed to undermine Donald Trump, at least facing the enemy on their turf he knows what to expect.
[New York Times] […] For Mr. Trump, denying his low-polling rivals access to a massive television audience is part of his calculations in potentially skipping the debates, according to the people who have discussed the matter with him. In 2015, Fox News drew an audience of 24 million for the first primary debate of the 2016 campaign. It was, at the time, the biggest viewership for a nonsports event in cable television history.
“In his mind there’s not enough candidates who are polling close enough to him,” said a person familiar with Mr. Trump’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations with the former president. “And that if he does a debate this early with candidates who are polling in the single digits, there’s no upside for him.”
Another motivation for Mr. Trump is revenge: The former president has a history with the two institutions hosting the first two Republican candidate debates.
Mr. Trump has told advisers that the second debate is a nonstarter for him because it will be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The chairman of the library’s board of trustees, Frederick J. Ryan Jr., also serves as the publisher and chief executive officer of The Washington Post, a fact that Mr. Trump regularly brings up.
Mr. Trump is also sour that the Reagan library has invited numerous other leading Republicans to speak at its events over the past two years, including his presidential rival Mr. DeSantis, but has never extended an invitation to Mr. Trump, according to two people familiar with his thinking.
The library started a speakers series in 2021 called “Time for Choosing,” and invitees have included Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina; Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador; and, more recently, Mr. DeSantis. A spokesperson for the library said no former president has been included in the series.
One reason Mr. Trump may skip the first debate is its timing — he believes it’s too early, and has told aides he does not want to debate in August. Another reason is the host, Fox News. (read more)
Whether he does or whether he doesn’t, the big picture remains clear.
The Republican Party apparatus will attempt to use their leverage within the GOPe debates to weaken Donald Trump and enhance Ron DeSantis.

Victor Davis Hanson often has a unique big picture perspective on current events, linking and contrasting the disconnected high-brow outlook to the pragmatic perspectives of the modern populist movement.
Hanson takes an academic approach to the reality of current social constructs, yet in his own unique way he can describe the current status in a thoughtful and practical way. In this analysis VDH contrasts the goals of the ideological media, specifically the goals of those in the Republican wing of the media control apparatus, to the reality they have created by removing the voice of Tucker Carlson. WATCH:
In their quest to control the mounting opposition to the corporate manipulation behind the DC Potemkin Village, the corporate media are creating a nimbler and more consequential army of opposition to their efforts. The need for control is a reaction to fear.
There is a particular type of spider that carries several hundreds of young on her body after birth. If you spot one of these in your shower, and your irrational fear instinct is to smash what seems to be a big scary spider, what you discover in the aftermath is the bathtub walls moving. Yes, you may have squished the spider, but hundreds of smaller spiders are now crawling all around you.

Using his Twitter platform account, at 8:00pm tonight, Tucker Carlson sends a brief message, his first direct broadcast since the removal of his voice from Fox News.
Within the message you will note some common themes to our discussion of these events. (1) Both parties in Washington DC are participating in the fraud and pretending, the UniParty is very real. (2) The people in control of the communication apparatus “are afraid; they’ve given up persuasion, they are resorting to force.” And perhaps the most important message of all (3) “When honest people say what’s true … they become powerful. At the same time the liars that have been trying to silence them, shrink, they become weaker. That’s the iron-law of the universe true things prevail.” WATCH:
None of these things will come as a surprise to readers here. Indeed, we have talked about them frequently. There is no reason to give the manipulators any power over your peace of mind. Stay connected to the truth in things and accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be.
There is great freedom in speaking the truth of the thing. The natural laws cannot be defeated by the schemes of men…. The Truth Has No Agenda and is very easy to notice. Thus, the final and larger point, trust your instincts. You know the truth of the thing when you see, hear and feel it. At this moment, 13.6 million people have watched this brief Tucker Carlson video on Twitter.

For his daily podcast and discussion segment, UK pundit Neil Oliver puts the firing of Tucker Carlson into a unique context of human behavior. Tucker is taken down like a trophy in the psychology of those who weaponize power. Additionally, Oliver hits on a few points that are very accurate – albeit with some who would disagree – about the need for control being a reaction to fear.
The decisionmakers in the Carlson issue removed his voice from a position of weakness, not strength. The decisionmakers, namely the Ruper Murdoch team, fear Carlson. Lastly, as Oliver accurately notes, history is a wheel – and during travel there are times in the orbit of the wheel when the component part is traveling backwards. WATCH:
As you listen to the outline, remember the position of Barack Obama’s former campaign manager, David Plouffe, “it is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”… There is a ring of historical human brutality to it.
Fox News fired their most popular reporter a day after the Dominion settlement. Within minutes, Fox lost $1 billion in market capitalization. Carlson claims that he amicably parted ways with Fox, but the timing is no coincidence. He tore into media agencies for forcing COVID vaccinations on employees during his last broadcast. When a popular host leaves a news network, there are promotions for weeks regarding their last show but his exit was sudden and unexpected.
CNN fired Don Lemon the same day, which made more sense since he was losing views and alienating his target audience with sexist remarks and alleged misconduct. Tucker Carlson Tonight was the highest-rated program on cable news. This was not a business decision.
This is the statement during his last broadcast that may have led to Carlson’s exit from Fox:
"Now, imagine as they told you that that Fox as a news organization endorsed it, amplified the government's message. Imagine if Fox News attacked anyone who refused to buy MyPillow as an ally of Russia as an enemy of science and then imagine that Fox kept up those libelous attacks, even as evidence mounted that MyPillow caused heart attacks, fertility problems and death. If Fox News did that, what would you think of Fox News? Would you trust us? Of course, you wouldn't. You would know that we were liars."
He then went on to say he was grateful Fox did not implement mandates. Still, it seems as if Carlson was being stifled from speaking. He continued questioning the voting scandal and has made numerous valid arguments against the 2020 US Presidential results. There are now calls to cancel Fox News across every social platform. It is a shame as this was the last large conservative news network but they are caving into the desires of their advertisers. More notable, they are caving to the Neocons who do not want a popular TV host calling them out by name in front of millions.
The same thing happened to Bill O’Reilly, who only became more popular upon his exit. Not only are people unsubscribing from Fox, but they are also unsubscribing from streaming services that they used to watch Tucker’s show. Horrible business decision on Fox’s part, but conservative voices have no place in Biden’s America.

A lot of people are talking about this prior interview which provides some insight into the world of Tucker Carlson against the backdrop of current activity. The content of the interview aligns with the perspective CTH previously shared {Go Deep}.
A little more than a month ago, Tucker appeared with the Nelk boys for their Full Send Podcast. The part that is viral today starts at 01:20:50 of the video, toward the end of the interview when Tucker is discussing his evolution of opinion toward media, but the entire interview is interesting and very insightful. If you have the time to watch the full interview it is worth the time. If not, skip to the 01:20:50 part and catch the media perspective aspect. WATCH:
The multinational media club are going full bore against Tucker Carlson right now, including the orchestrated efforts by all of Rupert Murdoch’s controlled outlets.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. The media need to control the narrative around Tucker Carlson is from that same context; they fear him.
The Murdoch family has now joined the Woke world and be doing so abandoned the American people. Those that have joined the Woke agenda are for all participial purposes Anti-American and they are in the process of eliminating the U.S.Constitution and the Republic. We the people did not ask for nor authorize this change.
I would suggest that anyone that can see what they have done join me in this boycott. The Murdoch’s need to pay a price for what they are doing.
Fox now has a history of getting rid of or disciplining their money makes some of them are listed next:
Glen Beck in 2011 Removed
Roger Ailes in 2016 Removed
Bill O’Reilly in 2017 terminated
Jeanine Pirro disciplined in December 2020 with time off
Dan Bongino ion April 21, 2023 Removed
Tucker Carlson on April 24, 2023 removed
All of these people were generation money for Murdoch but Tucker was the Star Murdoch has taken a dangerous step with terminating Tuck that he and his company may not survive. If the published number are correct I would guess the financial hit will be well over a Billion dollars in second quarter will reduced add money and reduced viewers the present value of the next will ad another billion to the companies income. The question then is can the company survive what they did by getting ride of Tucker?
There is also a secondary effect here as it takes Fox News away from supporting Trump and that means Trump has been isolated from the Main US media channels. An alternative needs to be developed and quickly.

In the game of test-match cricket, a game that can last three days at peak professional level, you have to ‘get out‘ to ‘get in‘. You have to ‘get out‘ of the clubhouse in order to ‘get in‘ to the game. The same is true for this story about Domestic Policy Advisor, Susan Rice, leaving the Biden administration. Rice has to get out of the administration in order to get in to the 2024 game.
Readers here will likely remember all previous discussion about the likely Democrat field for 2024. Susan Rice and Gavin Newsom are both key players in the DNC big club game. There is only one question at the core of the dynamic you need to ask, how will they off-ramp Joe Biden?
First, the White House announcement: […] “As the only person to serve as both National Security Advisor and Domestic Policy Advisor, Susan’s record of public service makes history. But what sets her apart as a leader and colleague is the seriousness with which she takes her role and the urgency and tenacity she brings, her bias towards action and results, and the integrity, humility and humor with which she does this work. I thank Susan for her service, her counsel and her friendship. I will miss her.” (link)
Susan Rice is the pliable foot soldier, the protege’ of the Lightbringer, Chicago Jesus. Rice is the female version of the entire apparatus of the Obama team. Susan Rice is Barack Obama in female form, and as Ric Grenell said eloquently, Susan Rice is “the shadow president.”
A Newsom/Rice or Rice/Newsom ticket is a no brainer. Both are foot soldiers for the Lightbringer movement’s fundamental change agenda, although Rice is the apex player and Newsom is the ideological, intellectual and cognitive equivalent of John Fetterman with better style. Most people still do not understand that Barack Obama is not just a person, he is a complete political construct -a movement in a box- consisting of multiple component groups all working in synergy.
The focus of the Obama movement is domestic and ideological. The “fundamental change“, as outlined previously by the front man for the group, is domestic – exclusively domestic. The Lightbringer doesn’t care about foreign policy stuff; all of that angle is sold to the multinationals and highest bidders.
Foreign policy is not a thing for Teh One true bringer of enlightenment; their focus is USA domestically centered. In her capacity as Domestic Policy Advisor, Susan Rice was the guiding hand behind every element of Biden domestic policy.
The microphone from the Obama basement does not transmit into the earpiece of Biden; it communicates into the two-way radio of Rice.
If Susan Rice is departing, the question becomes how the club removes Biden from the 2024 race? There are a multitude of approaches and leverages available for the Lightbringer’s team, which includes Deputy AG Lisa Monaco at Main Justice.
The criminal activity of Hunter Biden, and the potential for outcomes – or lack therein, can be leveraged. The direct connection to the action of the principal, “the big guy” Joe Biden, could be leveraged.
The Biden administration’s interference in any number of related investigations can be leveraged, and… keep in mind…. it is not coincidental the evidence of the interference is manifest by the same team that would remove the principal. Yeah, think about that for a moment.
Put aside the 2024 contest participants for a moment (ie. the shiny things), and instead focus on what peripheral risks exist to Joe Biden that could be deployed at any moment to push him to a graceful off ramp.
There are many club-installed insurance policies, political landmines all around Joe Biden. Which one will they show him?
