Tucker Carlson: We will never bow to the leftist mob's attempts to silence us, no matter what

The inflammatory Fox News host used his Monday evening show to counter audio footage of controversial past comments he'd made by declaring, "we will never bow to the mob."


The bloated baiter may seem out of order north of the border, but in the US, audiences continue to tune in. Fox News’ three primetime shows, hosted by Carlson, Sean Hannity and Ingraham, are among the most-watched programs in cable news. “Tucker Carlson Tonight” has averaged 525,000 people in the demographic favoured most by advertisers, people between 25 and 54 and nearly 2.94 million overall viewers year to date as of March 7, according to data from Nielsen. Those figures trump the same programs that air at 8 p.m. on CNN and MSNBC, according to Nielsen.

The hidden key to the SNC-Lavalin scandal

SNC-Lavalin, a Canadian corporate giant with an established history of corruption, is charged with bribing the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's brutal regime over many years, in exchange for lucrative contracts.

This case is the most serious and important prosecution of corporate corruption in modern Canadian history, and we're arguing about jobs and whether Jody Wilson-Raybould is hard to get along with.

It is not only appropriate, but essential that this matter goes to trial in an open and public hearing so that Canadians can see how the world's bloodiest tyrants are cossetted, indulged, and enabled.

Perhaps the most depressing spectacle of the entire affair is watching Justin Trudeau, a man who clearly aspires to greatness, debase himself and this nation, by begging, pushing, imploring Canada's attorney general to let this company off the hook.

Then effectively firing her when she wouldn't comply, and allowing her credibility to be undermined.

Just what kind of story does he think SNC-Lavalin's caught up in, Anne of Green Gables? – Sandy Garrosino, National Observer

Sharon Osbourne Confirms That Ozzfest Will Be Resurrected In Ozzy’s Home Town of Birmingham in 2027 Before Coming to North America

"We wanna do two days in Aston Villa," the late metal icon's wife/manager said on the family's podcast this week.

Sharon Osbourne has revealed more about her plans to resurrect Ozzfest. On the new episode of The Osbournes podcast on Wednesday (March 4), Sharon sat down to offer the first concrete details about the return of the heavy metal festival that has been on hiatus since 2018.

“Ozzfest! Coming back!” Sharon said, just days after first lighting the fuse for the news at the 2026 MIDEM conference in Cannes, France, where she announced “yes, absolutely. Yeah, we’re gonna do it.” She told Jack that the plan is to reboot the festival in 2027, launching it with a two-day event at Villa Park, the home grounds of the Aston Villa Football Club in Ozzy Osbourne‘s hometown of Birmingham, U.K.; that sacred ground was also the site of Osbourne’s final show, the all-star Back to the Beginning blowout last July.
