Aside from President Trump, Tucker Carlson is the top dog in US right-wing politics. Check out the massive standing ovation Tucker received at the RNC Convention—and keep an eye on the sour faces from CNN.

Just like Trump, Tucker keeps racking up wins, and no one feels the burn quite like the Murdoch clan, who love the establishment a bit too much.

Remember when Rupert Murdoch was the big man on campus in conservative circles? Sure, he spoke at the RNC Convention, but not as the powerhouse he once was. As an afterthought, a relic who used to be.

The New York Times:

Rupert Murdoch once confided to friends in the fall of 2020 that he thought Donald J. Trump was going “increasingly mad” and would be “a danger” in a second term — and happily predicted that by the end of that year, “Trump will be becoming irrelevant.” Two years later, he backed Mr. Trump’s chief rival in the Republican primaries, Gov. Ron DeSantis, bestowing Mr. DeSantis with the brute-force promotional heft that only he could deliver.

But on Tuesday, Mr. Murdoch, the recently retired global media titan, was in Milwaukee to take his place among the rank-and-file Republican faithful. And with that, he became one of the most prominent one-time Trump detractors to line up behind the former president and join a convention that has doubled as a resounding show of Republican unity.

Mr. Murdoch, 93, has not been a regular at conventions. And his attendance here was, in part, to give support to his ranks of reporters at the convention — including those who work for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, Fox News and others.

But his appearance is also another extraordinary turn in his contorted relationship with Mr. Trump, whose unshakable hold over the audience of Mr. Murdoch’s major cable network, Fox News, has kept Mr. Murdoch yoked to the former president for the better part of the past decade.

The whole genius of Fox News’ programming for years was due to Roger Ailes, God rest his soul, as he passed away in 2017. After Ailes death, Murdoch, who is now retired, tried to orchestrate the whole dog and pony show on the conservative airwaves, directing traffic and setting the agenda for everyone navigating the U.S. political minefield. Under the direction of Murdoch and his lackeys, Fox started losing his mojo. Things started to really change when he teamed up with Paul Ryan and parted ways with Trump loyalist Roger Ailes. Then, he fired Lou Dobbs (rest in peace), and, of course, Tucker Carlson’s untimely departure really knocked the wind out of his sails. Those days of Murdoch calling all the shots are long gone.

Take your back seat, Rupert, and good riddance to you and your establishment-loving sons.

Meanwhile, those betting against Tucker keep taking big losses. Not only is Tucker’s streaming channel pulling in massive views, but his latest “fly on the wall” project with President Trump is shaping up to be yet another historic win.

ALX:

Tucker Carlson “and a longtime producer of his shows, Justin Wells, recently visited Mar-a-Lago to pitch Mr. Trump on a fly-on-the-wall docuseries about his campaign. Mr. Trump granted access, and the series is set to be released on Mr. Carlson’s streaming platform before the election; Mr. Wells and a cameraman were filming several feet away from the former president in Pennsylvania on Saturday when he was shot by a would-be assassin.”

And just like that, Tucker Carlson has roared back to the very front of GOP politics, where he belongs.

New York Times:

All of a sudden, Tucker Carlson has roared back to the forefront of Republican politics.

Once the top-rated anchor on Fox News — only to be abruptly ousted 15 months ago, his national platform yanked out from under his feet — Mr. Carlson has made an improbable re-emergence into America’s living rooms at this week’s Republican National Convention.

[…]
[…] behind the scenes over the past year, Mr. Carlson has become more deeply allied with Mr. Trump than at any point in his long relationship with the former president, a man for whom the broadcaster once expressed deep ambivalence.

[…]

He and a longtime producer of his shows, Justin Wells, recently visited Mar-a-Lago to pitch Mr. Trump on a fly-on-the-wall docuseries about his campaign. Mr. Trump granted access, and the series is set to be released on Mr. Carlson’s streaming platform before the election; Mr. Wells and a cameraman were filming several feet away from the former president in Pennsylvania on Saturday when he was shot by a would-be assassin.

[…]

Mr. Carlson said that he has recently felt more ideologically simpatico with Mr. Trump, in particular the former president’s position on curbing immigration and the brand of economic populism that is espoused by Mr. Vance. “Joe Biden is evil,” he added. “Not wrong. Evil.”

Indeed, the “fly on the wall” documentary is set to be even more remarkable given what went down in Butler, PA. That day, a crazed anti-Trump lunatic (or maybe just a patsy) nearly succeeded in assassinating him. While President Trump survived, a heroic man did not. At the RNC Convention, President Trump delivered an emotional and powerful tribute to Corey Camporte, the firefighter who was murdered, while shielding his family from a hail of bullets.

The RNC convention was truly one for the ages, packed with incredible speeches and emotional moments. Among them was Tucker Carlson’s standout moment—a no-teleprompter, straight-from-the-heart chat with America. It’s a must-watch from start to finish.

It looks like Tucker made sure to dislodge his “dip” before he took the stage—a great, candid moment captured.

While at the RNC, Tucker also appears to have taken great delight in sticking it to Mr. Murdoch.

The New York Times piece continues:

This week in Milwaukee, Mr. Carlson has cut a gleeful and confident figure. He was greeted with cheers at a Heritage Foundation summit and schmoozing in the lobby of the Trade Hotel, where Mr. Trump’s inner circle is staying.

He has also tried to make old foes squirm.

Mr. Carlson stunned executives at Fox News by turning up unannounced at its packed studio inside the convention venue, the Fiserv Forum, on Tuesday, sporting a megawatt grin as former colleagues like Jeanine Pirro, Jesse Watters, Brit Hume and Charlie Hurt came to warmly greet him.

Crisply dressed in a blue gingham shirt and marina-ready navy blazer, Mr. Carlson looked every bit the cat who ate the canary. He had swept into the Fox green room as part of the entourage of Donald Trump Jr., who was preparing for an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show. Mr. Carlson held court chatting with Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate, as party grandees like Newt Gingrich circled — and crew members sneaked arch glances at their ousted former colleague.

To add insult to injury, Donald Trump Jr. told Axios in an interview that Murdoch’s influence “is not what it used to be.”

Axios:

“There was a time where if you wanted to survive in the Republican Party, you had to bend the knee to to him or to others,” former President Trump’s eldest son told Axios’ Mike Allen on the second day of the convention.

“I don’t think that’s the case anymore.”

Trump Jr. added that Tucker is “one of the great thought leaders of the party these days. He’s an incredible part of the movement. I’m so glad we have him.”

All of this goes to show that Tucker Carlson has dived head-first into 2024, sticking incredibly close to President Trump and emerging as the key mover and shaker in the America First movement. Betting against him is a surefire way to lose. Unlike the many grifters and establishment cronies in the media, Tucker isn’t in it for the glory; he’s in it to provide for his family and save his country. It doesn’t get much more righteous than that, folks.
