Tucker Carlson quits GOP_ I dont know what Im going to do · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It appears Israel seal the fate of Tucker Carlson as well.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: For months, Republicans have been painting him as anti Semitic.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: And I will say, on the right, I have seen
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: more anti semitism in the last eighteen months. On the right,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: it is being spread by loud voices, the most consequential
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of whom is Tucker Carlson. I believe Tucker Carlson is
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the single most dangerous demagogue in this country.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Carlson says he is done with the Republican Party. He
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: says it puts the interest of Israel above those of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: its own citizens.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: but at this point, you know, how could you support
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: How could I or any American voters support a political
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: party that's not loyal to the United States.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Group chat is back, tam We're going two ends of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the spectrum here, right, and then it meets up at
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the top horseshoe politics. I think what's interesting is that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Tucker has been at odds with the White House for
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: many months. Almost every time there's a foreign intervention, but
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: this one in particular seems to have pushed him over
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the edge in terms of how he speaks publicly.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I think that what is happening here with Tucker Carlson,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: with Ted Cruz is various parts of what has been
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the Republican coalition figuring out what happens in a potential
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: post Trump reality and positioning themselves. And there are flashpoints.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Israel is going to be a flashpoint. It didn't used
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: to be Republicans were all very pro Israel. That's not
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the case anymore. And I think you're going to see
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: it over abortion and other issues as well.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green tweeting, Tucker's not the only one
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: who's done supporting the Republican Party. This is her. I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: think on X there's a lot of us that are
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: absolutely fed up and will not support a party that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: betrays its voters and country. That doesn't mean we're turning
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: into Democrats, either, but we are done with the America
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Last Republican Party.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: There's something going on here.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: It's not just this issue. If you think about this issue,
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: you think about the war, you think about the Epstein files,
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: you have all of these activists on the right who
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: voted for Donald Trump because of those three things, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Tucker Carlson Major, maybe Marjorie Taylor Green or trying to
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: tap into that. The old political consultant here thinks it
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: has a lot to do with twenty twenty.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Eight atally, Yeah, twenty twenty eight. And also where the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: public sentiment is. I mean, when I went to look
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: at the Pew Research polls, I was trying to figure out, Okay,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: what are the views of Israel right now? Based on
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the polling, And in twenty twenty two, Republicans we're at
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: twenty seven percent with an unfavorable view of Israel. Now
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they're at forty one, which means it's almost doubled. And meanwhile, Democrats,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of course we know in twenty twenty two to fifty
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: three percent, now they're at eighty percent. So a Mom,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Donnie or a Tucker, they're speaking to the people who
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: moved in this shift from twenty twenty two to now.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: Israel is what they're fighting right now. But I think
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: it's very important to say they're against any sort of
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: foreign conflict, right I don't think it's just Israel. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: think it would be if we were Obviously no one
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: on the Republican side wanted us to be in Ukraine either,
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: so I think that's but I agree with Chuck in
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: regards but.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He's not leading over Venezuela like it feels as.
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: No, but we're not at war. I mean that was
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: like something very quick. We don't have a lot of
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: troops on the ground, you know, we're not. And anyway,
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: I think that's a little bit different, but I get
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: your point. I also think that Marjor Taylor Green and
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: Tucker are trying to figure out a path in regards
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: to twenty twenty eight. I think they're both testing the
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: grounds of running. But also one of the questions I
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: have really for you is there are four or five
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: potential Jewish candidates on the Democrat side that would run
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: in twenty twenty eight. One of them my dear friend
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Josh Shapiro. How does that happen? I mean, they're like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: don't trying the dumbs are trying to go left of
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: the left of.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: The lessons or This has relevant in democratic and primaries
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: for both parties in twenty twenty eight. When you have
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: multiple people running more than four or five, you can
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: win the nomination with thirty percent. Keep in mind, you
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: just need that thirty percent, and Tucker Carlson knows that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Just to be clear, I think it's pretty just give
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: it to what Tucker carlson'spenank lately.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Israel is the foreign country to which he appears to
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: be referring there, But is he.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Right whatever the driver may be that there are a
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: lot of other people.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: That are out.
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: I think there's absolutely a problem for the Trump coalition,
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: and the reasons are real around opposition to another forever war.
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: And you know, you win elections by addition, not subtraction.
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: And let's remember the last time you had a major
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: split in the Republican Party, Bill Clinton won two presidential
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: elections with less than a majority of the American people.
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: He won nineteen ninety two with forty three percent and
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: in nineteen ninety six with forty nine And the reason
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: was Ross Perot, and it allowed a Democrat to win
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: with less than a majority. And for a party my
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: own that is struggling building a majority coalition, having that
• 4:43
  Speaker 9: serious as split in the Republican one is a real opportunity.
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: It doesn't excuse us from redesigning and rebuilding the party
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: into something more majoritarian. But I'll tell you what it's
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: a problem.
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: If you're a Republican I would argue that Tucker Carlson
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: already did not belong to the Republican Party because he
• 4:58
  Speaker 10: belongs to MAGA, and there in and of itself, you
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: have the fracturing within the Republican Party. But I would
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: also argue that there's a fracturing within the Democratic Party.
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: I mean, you have the far left, the AOC people
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: on this side, you have the more moderates what we
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: really need. And Tucker Carlson won't be joining this in
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: neither Marjorie Taylor Green, who also says she's leaving the
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: Republican Party, are independents. I mean, the majority of Americans
• 5:22
  Speaker 10: are somewhere in the middle, and I would beg politicians
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: to try and find common ground somewhere in the middle
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: and stop all this fracturing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Tuckerralson says he will not support republic as it seems
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to be largely over issues surrounding Israel.
• 5:35
  Speaker 11: My question to you is do you regret or welcome
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: this move from Tucker Carlson.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: Well, my party to be the party of the majority,
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: wants people to view us in a more positive way
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: against our opponents, and those opponents have entirely different views
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: and ideas. So I think that what Tucker didn't say,
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: and I have not talked to him, are you going
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: to vote? Because when you have to place your vote,
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: it somewhat changes your mind on who you're then going
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: to vote for, and you can reassess that. But no,
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: I don't want to redo anything with Tucker. What I
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: want to say is is he's in told his opinion.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: It's been a stormy romance, no doubt about that. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: there are people who find time to express opinions. When
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: it comes down to the battle, it will be a
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: battle for which direction we go. The American people know
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: one party is headed one way and the other party
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: is headed another way. And I'm proud to be in
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: a Republican Just very quickly, it's not all Democrats when
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: it comes to the issues surrounding Israel, either, is it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 11: I mean, Tucker Carlson, a very very public critic of Israel,
• 6:50
  Speaker 11: said this just over the last twenty four hours about
• 6:52
  Speaker 11: his support of the Republican Party.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Listen, how could I or any American voters support a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: political party that's not loyal to the United States? That's
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: what's the interests of a foreign country above those of
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: its own citizens? Like that's you know, it's not possible
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to vote for people like that. So no, I'm out,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And if I'm out, then I think a lot of
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: other people are out.
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: But that foreign country he is talking about is Israel,
• 7:15
  Speaker 11: making no mistake about it. Go ahead, David, Yeah, John,
• 7:19
  Speaker 11: you and I. This may not be terribly surprising to
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: us who have watched sort of Tucker Carlson's evolution here,
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: but just think about if you and I were having
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: this conversation. I don't know a few years ago that
• 7:29
  Speaker 11: Tucker Carlson just totally disowns any association with the Republican Party.
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: He's been a front man for the Republican Party for
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: thirty five years, I think he said, and this is
• 7:40
  Speaker 11: this is a dramatic development. So you are right. We
• 7:42
  Speaker 11: are seeing this notion of Israel as a litmus test
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: in both parties and whether or not members of the
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: parties are seen as too supportive, and that invites in
• 7:54
  Speaker 11: sort of an insurgency and support from a wing in
• 7:57
  Speaker 11: the party that is dedicated to opposite to Israel. That
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: is creating a real divide within each of these parties
• 8:04
  Speaker 11: I think we see in the polling. This is a bigger,
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: more pronounced problem right now on the Democratic side than
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: it is on the Republican side. But it is there too,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: no doubt, all right,
