Tucker Carlson's Private Attacks on Trump and Pentagon Probe of Senator Kelly

Discover how Tucker Carlson's internal frustration with Trump is surfacing publicly amid a major Pentagon investigation targeting Senator Mark Kelly for urging troops to refuse illegal orders.

Short Summary

  • Internal communications reveal Tucker Carlson labeled Donald Trump a "total piece of shit" after the 2020 election, coinciding with Carlson publicly distancing himself from the GOP.
  • Senator Mark Kelly faces a military investigation following his participation in a video telling service members to defy unlawful commands, an action that drew extreme condemnation from Trump.
  • A New York Times investigation indicates the DHS drastically shifted investigative resources toward immigration enforcement, resulting in significant drops in arrests for child exploitation and weapons seizures.
  • Donald Trump's reported plan to extend controversial ACA subsidies was abruptly postponed after intense backlash from mainstream Republican lawmakers.
  • Ukraine reportedly agreed to the core framework of a US-brokered peace proposal, signaling potential (though fragile) movement toward ending the war.

This summary orients readers to the internal GOP fractures, high-level military/political conflict, and shifts in federal enforcement priorities covered in the episode.

To claim that saying "You can refuse *_illegal_* orders." is seditious speaks volumes about how self-aware our current administration is.

USN Veteran here - The idea that Kelly violated any article of the UCMJ is laughable, and I hope that him and Senator Slotkin (Also being investigated as of her own posting last night) throw everything they can back at the DOJ in response - use this to put a big ole spotlight on just how far the weaponization of the DOJ has gone.

Investigated for telling soldiers to follow their oath? This really is the dumbest timeline...

Trying to punish or even arrest someone for just stating the rights of soldiers is actually insane

If reminding troops that they must refuse illegal orders is seditious then that is a massive red flag. Its not illegal to remind people of the law and saying otherwise is wrong and should be investigated as to why they’re saying that stating the law is illegal

I'm not young, but I'm not that old and it boggles my mind that I worked through the holidays as a technician because "shit needs to get done" and yet here we have people in power, heavily important positions, with something that is serious, will affect the entire country and they can take days off, if not weeks to sing kumbaya while a big chunk of the country is nervous that next year will make things even more difficult when prices are increasing.

Point of order: No one falls under the "Department of War" jurisdiction since the United States doesn't have a Department of War

15:35 THIS is why America has so many problems. Under no circumstance should there ever be unnamed lawmakers. Their position is a public service, we should know who’s writing these laws, and that should affect elections. Otherwise it’s not a democracy.
