But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it.

Tucker Carlson has been at the center of several significant developments recently. One of the most notable is his prediction that JD Vance is the only Republican capable of carrying on Donald Trump's legacy in the 2028 presidential election. During a conversation on the 'VINCE podcast' with host Vince Coglianese, Carlson expressed his trust in Vance, highlighting his loyalty to Trump and his profound service to the former president. Carlson emphasized that Vance is a "powerful partner" to Trump and believes he will be the nominee for the 2028 election.In addition to this political forecast, Carlson has been involved in a heated public dispute with Rep. Dan Crenshaw. Crenshaw recently launched a scathing attack against Carlson during an appearance on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored,' where he criticized Carlson for lacking substance and relying on insults. Crenshaw pointed out that Carlson often uses personal attacks, including referencing Crenshaw's war wounds, and labeled Carlson a "silver spoon fed trust fund baby" who pretends to fight against D.C. elites while being one himself. This exchange is part of an ongoing feud that began in 2022, with Crenshaw accusing Carlson of being obsessed with him.On the media front, Tucker Carlson continues to expand his presence through his own network. His show, now available on various platforms including his website and popular podcast services, features a range of topics from politics to social issues. Recent episodes include discussions on Joe Biden's longevity, the responsibilities of single fathers, and other societal and political topics.There have been no recent reports of significant legal or professional developments involving Carlson, but his influence on media and politics remains a subject of debate. His predictions and endorsements, such as the one for JD Vance, are closely watched and often spark discussions about his impact on the political landscape.In terms of interactions with other public figures, Carlson's close relationship with JD Vance, whose son Buckley Carlson works as Vance's press secretary, underscores his continued influence within Republican circles. His public feuds, like the one with Dan Crenshaw, also highlight the contentious nature of his public persona.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

Tucker Carlson has been at the center of several significant developments recently. One of the most notable is his ongoing public feud with Rep. Dan Crenshaw. In a recent appearance on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored,' Crenshaw launched a scathing attack against Carlson, calling him "out of control" and a "freak and a warmonger" with an unstable personal life. Crenshaw criticized Carlson for his lack of substance and for using personal insults, including targeting Crenshaw's war wounds. He also highlighted Carlson's privileged background, labeling him a "silver spoon fed trust fund baby" and accusing him of hypocrisy for pretending to fight against D.C. elites while being one himself.In another significant development, Mehdi Hasan, a far-left commentator, unexpectedly endorsed one of Carlson's foreign policy rants. Hasan agreed with Carlson's warning against striking Iranian nuclear sites, noting that such an action could result in thousands of American deaths and significant financial costs. This endorsement is noteworthy given Hasan's usual criticism of U.S. foreign policy and his ideological differences with Carlson.Carlson's influence on media and politics remains substantial. Since his departure from Fox News in 2023, he has maintained a strong presence in Donald Trump's inner circle and has continued to serve as an informal adviser to the president. His views on foreign policy, particularly his isolationist stance, have been influential in shaping Trump's decisions, such as during the crisis with Iran in 2020 when Carlson's advocacy helped persuade Trump not to escalate military action.Carlson's interactions with other public figures are also noteworthy. His criticism of U.S. foreign policy and his opposition to military interventions have sometimes aligned him with voices from the left, as seen in Mehdi Hasan's endorsement. However, his overall influence and stance remain deeply embedded within the conservative and far-right spectrum, particularly in his close relationship with Trump and his role in advising on key political decisions.In terms of his current media ventures, Carlson continues to be active through various platforms, including social media and his podcast, where he expresses his views on a wide range of topics, including foreign policy and domestic politics.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

//The Wire//2300Z February 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CARTEL VIOLENCE CONTINUES SOUTH OF U.S. BORDER. GERMAN CDU REVERSES STANCE ON IMMIGRATION POLICIES AFTER ELECTION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: Following the weekend election cycle, discontent has been a common observation as various politicians have backtracked on campaign promises. CDU leadership, for instance, has deliberately flipped on their main campaign issue regarding immigration. During the campaign, the CDU's primary initiative was to limit immigration into Germany. After the election, CDU leadership (presumptive Chancellor Friedrich Merz) reneged on this promise, stating that the border will not be closed. AC: Though unsurprising to most who had the foresight to perceive this European tradition of complete policy reversals after elections, many others are rather upset as this sharp reversal affects a policy issue pertinent to most Germans.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Controversy continues in Congress regarding Rep. Dan Crenshaw's threat to murder Tucker Carlson. Crenshaw was caught making the comment during a hot-mic incident as part of a media interview a few days ago.Southern Border Region: Following the IED incident in Tamaulipas earlier this month, Texas authorities have issued more warnings pertaining to the use of Improvised Anti-Vehicle Land Mines (IAVMs) in the vicinity of the border.-----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: For clarification, this afternoon the Texas Department of Agriculture issued a warning to ranchers in the border region, warning them about the IED incident that occurred earlier this month. This warning statement was poorly worded, and did not provide the context that the event occurred nearly a month ago, and took place in Mexico almost a hundred miles south of the US border. The notice also referred to an American citizen being killed in the IED blast, however the wording of this announcement is slightly misleading since there is zero mention of the IED blast actually occurring inside Mexico. This missing context (and the contradictory details originating from sources with unknown veracity), is important to understand in terms of assessing the risk as accurately as possible.Over the past few months, clashes of increasing severity have been reported between the Gulf Cartel (CDG) and the Northeast Cartel (CDN) as both groups (but more importantly, various splinter groups from these two main organizations) continue the turf war south of Brownsville. Increased use of IEDs and weaponized drones has been reported semi-randomly throughout this increased period of conflict, with many innocent victims frequently being caught in the crossfire. So far the IED threat has not transitioned north across the border yet, however local authorities continue to issue the warnings nonetheless. Far more concerning are the increasingly significant small arms attacks and skirmishes that have taken place at the border itself over the past few weeks, between adversarial cartel groups.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//
