Tucker Joins the All-In Podcast; Posts Comments on Middle East Conflict
Issue #294 | Because he's awesome
Hello! A weekend edition here to catch you up on the latest from Tucker.
It’s always a fun-filled conversation when Tucker drops by the All-In podcast to spend time with Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks and David Friedberg — discussing all things economic, tech, political, social and more.
Important to note that the new episode was recorded on Thursday, before the events in the Middle East.
Still, the group covered plenty of hot topics: LA riots, immigration debate, strong economic data, tariff revenue, inflation, and more.

There’s definitely a rift in MAGA world these days. It’s heated, to put it mildly.
Politico: “Israel’s early-morning strikes targeting Iran have supercharged a debate that has been simmering for years on the MAGA right: Is America’s “special relationship” with Israel consistent with the realist principles of an “America First” foreign policy?
The clash — which is taking place between two powerful factions of the MAGA movement — is unfolding primarily at an ideological level, but its consequences are far from academic.”
Tucker - who is smack dab in the center of the hullabaloo - went online with a comment following Israel’s wide-ranging attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and military leaders and the counterstrikes aimed at Tel Aviv.
He took to X on Friday and released a new statement on the conflict in the Middle East.

Sara Fischer at Axios delivered a tasty bite of media news Friday with a report that ‘Tucker Carlson and his business partner, Neil Patel, recently bought out investors in their media company, Tucker Carlson Network.’
The deal gives the pair complete independence and total control of the company they co-founded in 2023.
"It's hard to claim you're independent when other people own your company, so we decided not to take investments or loans of any kind," Carlson told Axios in a statement, confirming the deal.

The Bane of Buckley
Envy is one of the seven deadly sins but ever present among the writing classes. One would think they’d fake it, but envy, like unrequited love, cannot be easily hidden.

Watching the Democrats implode is quite instructive.

Jane Austen’s Anti-Romantic Art of Happiness
For the many readers who would prefer tidy and romantic endings, the brief, complex, and costly conclusions to Jane Austen’s novels can seem like disruptions to purportedly pleasant diversions.

Once again, the coward Tucker pulls punches and fails to list the more important names. Hannity, Levin and other Fox clowns are useful idiots and the rest named are well known, corrupt Israel first sayanim. Come on Tucker. List the real names if you have enough character. You know who they are. Just do it already. How many more tens of thousands of innocent, unarmed civilians need to be slaughtered by Israel before you man up.
