Conservative scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson said during a recent interview that FOX News made a mnistake by parting ways with Tucker Carlson and that they would not be able to replace him.

Hanson is a wise man and his point here is well made. FOX News is already seeing its ratings collapse as a result of the decision.

And who do they think is going to take Carlson’s place at 8 PM? There is no one currently on the air who could fill Tucker’s shoes.

Victor Davis Hanson: Fox News Can’t Replace Carlson

Fox News is miscalculating in its “emotional” firing of Tucker Carlson, severing ties with an irreplaceable force in new-age populist conservativism, according to Victor Davis Hanson, a fellow at the Hoover Institute.

Not only is the network disenchanting its audience, it gave the leftist cancel culture activists a victory, and created a 3.5-million viewer vacuum that other conservative networks like Newsmax are going to fill, Hanson told The Telegraph’s “Off the Script” podcast this weekend.

“The Murdochs are not quite understanding that when you take away somebody who had a greater potential elsewhere and was a precious asset that anchored your whole evening lineup and you fired him in a fit of pique, or anger without thinking it through, you’ve got to be very careful, because you’re not going to be able to replace a guy like that,” Hanson said, warning the modern media is “fragmented” and allows many big names like Joe Rogan, Bill O’Reilly, and Megyn Kelly make their own way without corporate media.

Hanson added “a lot of people are very angry about it” and tuning out of Fox News as it turns left under the growing influence of Lachlan Murdoch.

“Tucker was able to stop the hemorrhaging from One America News or from Newsmax or all of the right rivals,” Hanson said, hailing Carlson as “responsible and learned but still can appeal on the same topics” that appeal to the anti-mainstream media crowd.

“So, I don’t know where they get that person, and I think that in the immediate week, it shows.”

As usual, Hanson is right.

This decision by FOX News was completely baffling. Tucker is a unique voice and they will not find anyone who can match him.

Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is now demanding that Texas Governor Greg Abbott stop sending illegal immigrants to her city, saying that they are completely tapped out.

What Greg Abbott should do is double the number of people he is sending to the Windy City.

The crisis at the southern border will not end until liberals feel the pain that their policies create for other states and communities, particularly at the southern border.

Lightfoot made the comments during an appearance on CNN.

Breitbart News reports:

Lightfoot to Gov. Abbott: Stop Sending Migrants to Chicago — ‘We Are Completely Tapped Out’

Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday on “CNN This Morning” that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) should stop sending immigrants to her city.

Discussing a letter she sent to the governor, Lightfoot said, “We have not heard anything back. And frankly, I didn’t expect to hear anything back, but I felt like it was important to once again try to engage the governor, but also let him know what his policies and practices are doing in cities like Chicago. We are completely tapped out. We have no more space. No more resources.

And frankly, we’re already in a surge. We’ve been seeing over the last two to three weeks, 200 plus people coming to Chicago every single day. We call them walk-ins, because they’re not coming on buses, but they are coming on planes from San Antonio, and we’re very concerned, because they don’t seem like they’re getting screened at the border. We’ve seen people coming with serious medical issues.”

She continued, “What’s getting lost in what the governor is doing is the fact that these are human beings. In any other emergency, you would be coordinating. You would be collaborating. You would be talking about specifically what the needs of the people are.

Abbott’s response to this is perfect:

If Chicago Mayor Lightfoot truly wants to "work together to find a real solution" to the border crisis, she must call on President Biden to secure the border.

This is not a Texas problem — it's a problem for the entire United States.

Isn’t Chicago a sanctuary city? Isn’t that what Lightfoot has said?

If Democrats support what is happening at the border, send all the illegal border crossers to their cities.
