Never mind that Biden himself had mishandled classified information, or that the FBI had decided against arresting the Democratic candidate in 2016 for mishandling classified misinformation herself, instead letting the voters decide.<\/p>\n<p>As Carlson noted on his Thursday show, \u201cjust before 9 p.m. that night, as part of its coverage, Fox News ran two live video feeds next to one another. On the right, Donald Trump addressed his supporters in New Jersey. On the left, Joe Biden spoke at an event for the secretary general of NATO in Washington.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBeneath those videos at the bottom of the screen, Fox\u2019s banner read this way: \u2018Wannabe Dictator Speaks at the White House After Having His Political Rival Arrested.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThose words were up for less than 30 seconds, but the effect was immediate,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/numbers-tucker-continues-crush-competition-compared-fox-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carlson<\/a> noted. \u201cInside Fox, the women who run the network panicked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen. Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned. He been at Fox for more than a decade, he was considered one of the most capable people in the building,\u201d Tucker continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately. Then the company issued a public apology for the 27 second long \u2018wannabe dictator\u2019 line, that the chyron was taken down immediately, Fox\u2019s PR department said, and then added ominously it was, quote, \u2018addressed.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much like one assumes Tucker had been \u201caddressed\u201d a few months prior.<\/p>\n<p>However, all the prostrating in the world didn\u2019t help Fox News yet again. As Carlson noted, The Washington Post said it had \u201ccrossed the line.\u201d Alexander Vindman \u2014 the former National Security Council member whose whistleblowing on Ukraine led to Trump\u2019s first impeachment \u2014 demanded that Fox News be taken off the American Forces Network. Actor John Cusack, who happens to be a bit more loopy, demanded the whole outlet be shut down entirely.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It is absolutely unacceptable for American Forces Network <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AFNtelevision?\">@AFNtelevision<\/a> to carry programming that directly (spuriously) attacks the Commander-in-Chief of American Armed Forces <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?\">@POTUS<\/a> .

Carlson had an important question: Why all of this outrage if it\u2019s false?<\/p>\n<p>After all, this sort of talk of dictatorship and fascism was stock-in-trade at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-addressed-supporters-msnbc-maddow-took-humiliatingly-hypocritical-stand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSNBC<\/a> and CNN when George W. Bush and Donald Trump were president. A 30-second chyron noting that a president who has the political opposition arrested is acting like a \u201cwannabe dictator\u201d is kiddie stuff \u2014 and Fox panicked like the same weak-kneed outlet that fired Carlson just two months ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf some cable news producer had called Joe Biden a genius, or accused him of being secretly Sudanese, would anyone be yelling about it?\u201d Carlson asked. \u201cWould Fox News have apologized for it? Probably not. But calling Joe Biden a \u2018wannabe dictator,\u2019 that stung.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House\u2019s official position, when press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about it, was pretty straightforward: \u201cSo there are probably about 787 million things that I can say about this. That was wrong. But what we saw last night, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to get into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo comment necessary,\u201d a laughing Carlson said. \u201cOf course Biden is not a \u2018wannabe dictator.\u2019 Just because he\u2019s trying to put the other candidate in prison for the rest of his life for a crime he himself committed doesn\u2019t mean he has a totalitarian impulse. Come on. That\u2019s absurd. It takes a lot more than jailing your political rivals to earn the title \u2018wannabe dictator.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Tucker noted, \u201cit\u2019s quite a process,\u201d which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/russian-tv-mocks-biden-artificially-created-video-not-good-sign-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> most certainly, definitely, obviously, completely, totally doesn\u2019t fulfill. Because the first part involves the money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing that all dictators have in common is they enrich themselves and their families even as the countries they<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tucker-carlson-torches-fox-news-after-networks-panicky-reaction-to-biden-wannabe-dictator-chyron\/\" title=\"Tucker Carlson slams Fox News for panicked response to Biden's \"wannabe dictator\" chyron.\">\u2019ve governed grow steadily poor<\/a> and more desperate,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cThey take kickbacks and businesses from other dictators. They used the official functions of their government to funnel cash to themselves. They don\u2019t bother to hide the fruits of this. They live in garish mansions with big lawns far from the teaming cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cue footage of Joe Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/next-stop-delaware-plane-took-migrants-marthas-vineyard-flying-town-near-bidens-2-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delaware mansion<\/a>, natch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven as their own citizens, languish in growing poverty, in some cases, literally living in tents on the street,\u201d Carlson said. Cue footage of your average American homeless tent city in, say, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, people resent dictators enriching themselves like this. \u201cAnd wannabe dictators know they resent. But they don\u2019t care. There\u2019s nothing the population can do about it in a dictatorship. It\u2019s no longer possible to fight injustice in a system like that. People can gather in large numbers to protest the rule of the dictator. If they try that, they\u2019ll be arrested by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-r-congo-51-sentenced-to-death-over-revenge-killing-of-u-n-staff\/\" title=\"D.R. Congo: 51 Sentenced to Death over 'Revenge' Killing of U.N. Staff\">state security services<\/a>, even years after the fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Say, years after Jan. 6, 2021. Just throwing a random date out there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if citizens persist in believing they can gather in groups to protest, they may be shot to death, a bullet to the throat,\u201d Carlson continued. \u201cAnd then just to make the humiliation complete, to make the lesson gin clear to everyone else. Watch it. Their relatives can be arrested for daring to complain that their children were killed for complaining. That actually happens in some places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cue footage of Ashlii Babbitt\u2019s mother being arrested for merely protesting her daughter\u2019s death on Jan. 6, 2021, asking for answers as to why she was shot in the throat and killed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ep. 4 Wannabe Dictator <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MDcs5g0gxB\">pic.twitter.com\/MDcs5g0gxB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TuckerCarlson\/status\/1669472439472988161?\">June 15, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, in a wannabe dictatorship, your opinions would be censored on the internet \u2014 nothing like the total blackout from social media services that Donald Trump experienced in the wake of Jan. 6. And wannabe dictators would be collecting reams of information from the internet you use, the phone calls you make and the financial transactions you take part in \u2014 just like the Biden administration is doing, Carlson noted, but in a totally different way.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not like in North Korea, where state media refused to cover \u201can enormous, baseball-sized tumor\u201d on the back of former leader Kim Il Sung\u2019s neck: \u201cThankfully, nothing like that is happening in our country or ever will if Joe Biden ever developed some profound physical or mental problem that was obvious to everybody,\u201d Carlson said.<\/p>\n<p>Nor does he \u201chave the family to match all dictators,\u201d like Saddam Hussein\u2019s sons, who \u201cwere princelings who lived above the law, indulging their most decadent fantasies with total confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no one like that around Joe Biden. He doesn\u2019t have weird sex scandals at the heart of his family that no one in the media will ever talk about,\u201d Carlson said. Cue Hunter Biden looking every bit like Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Nor would Biden take the final step of a wannabe dictator, Carlson noted: claiming dominion over your family, including your children.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">To the LGBTQI+ Community \u2013 the Biden-Harris Administration has your back. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZlUNwWOcch\">pic.twitter.com\/ZlUNwWOcch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The White House (@WhiteHouse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/1668422935172792321?\">June 13, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s saying something very different from that,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-tucker-carlson-responds-trump-indictment-latest-episode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carlson<\/a> said after playing that lovely (and telling) clip. \u201cHe\u2019s saying America\u2019s children are quote \u2018our children,\u2019 not his alone. \u2018Ours.\u2019 You share your children with Joe Biden evenly, right down the middle, with alternating weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson went on to note acidly that \u201cthe nation is like a family. Every family has a head, a father \u2014 that\u2019s Joe Biden. Our nation\u2019s father. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is now his fatherland. Just don\u2019t call it a dictatorship. Or we\u2019ll have to issue a statement disavowing you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just like his former employer did.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you certainly can\u2019t say Tucker isn\u2019t quite a bit freer now that he\u2019s on Twitter. The problem is that, at his old employer, you can\u2019t say the glaringly obvious. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fox-news-gets-dethroned-powerful-position-network-held-2-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, may I remind you, is supposed to be the conservative counterbalance to the liberal media establishment.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to tell these days, because they\u2019re the ones who are supposed to be calling out a president who allows his opponent to be indicted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-director-calls-legit-criticism-of-corrupt-fbi-violence-but-we-werent-born-yesterday-2\/\" title=\"FBI Director Calls Legit Criticism Of Corrupt FBI \u2018Violence,\u2019 But We Weren\u2019t Born Yesterday\">mishandling classified documents<\/a> when he did the same thing.
