Tucker Carlson was the first person to alert me that there was a virus in China that we might be concerned about. A week later others began reporting on what emerged as COVID-19. Sometimes Carlson is brilliant, sometimes he is lazy, sometimes he is nutty, sometimes he is irritating, and sometimes he gives air to oddballs. Although I don't always agree with him, I have read a number of illuminating writers that I first heard about on the old Tucker Carlson show. I am not aware of Darryl Cooper, but he sounds unhinged. I like Victor Davis Hanson and will be listening to your link of him with Christopher Hitchens. Thank you for keeping a sharp eye on both illiberal left and right. Every fiber of my being longs for reason, moderation, and stability to prevail.

Congrats on the commencement of U. of Austin!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Tucker is by no means intelligent - why would anyone even think that⁉️ And if you call repeatedly bringing on Jew- haters to spout their venomous lies...I don't know what to say to you.

By the way,, I met Victor Davis Hanson in Israel after a lecture he gave. Intelligent humble man.

I did not say he was intelligent, I said Tucker C. was occasionally brilliant. He can be tiresome and clownish and he is inconsistent. He goes off on tangents. Okay, so he is a broken clock. I do not agree with him much of the time. Perhaps I should credit his production team at Fox news for these insights. That was where I heard him. I wish Christopher Hitchens was still alive. And I miss Charles Krauthammer.
