No country for old conservatives?

Recently, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity awkwardly collided during the nightly handoff between their respective shows. (snip) This curious incident is yet another example of the growing divide between conservatives who are willing and able to engage in the current ideological conflict and those who are still "fighting the last war." Hannity and his ilk like the overwrought, elderly Sheriff Bell in the film No Country for Old Men find themselves completely outmatched by a new species of adversary who eschews all the old well known patterns of behavior.

I love Tucker to death and watch him every night, but I think he leans more to the Libertarian side of things. You'll note that while Tucker rightly excoriates anything Leftist, he's also not afraid to call out the so-called conservatives when he thinks they're wrong, and that includes the President. If you want to call this a new conservatism, then Bravo, Tucker; Keep it up.

Poster #2 echoes my thoughts on Tucker. He hasn't been afraid to change his mind when the occasional guest makes a point he hadn't considered. Hannity, on the other hand, is more annoying than sleepy Joe's record player with the needle stuck in a groove in an LP or a lovesick 15 year old girl making goo-goo eyes at her current crush. I got the impression in 2015-16 that he was sucking up to Donald Trump just to be with the rich and famous, not because he was convinced that DJT was the man we needed.
Just love Tucker and pray for God's protection on him and his dear family.

Tucker is very good at what he does, and so is Hannity. I like them both. HOWEVER, Hannity is sooooo repetitive. He is the "Blues Clues" of conservative talk shows.

Once you wade through all of the verbose rhetoric, one idea stands out, Hannity is getting harder to listen to every day. It's not an age or generational thing because Rush is just as sharp and flexible as Tucker and he's been around a while. If Hannity could drop the Obama-like interruptions, (I, I, I, Me, Me, Me) he would be much better Did you know he studies martial arts?

Hannity is unbearable, I cannot watch him. I often hear about a minute as I try to locate the remote and he is a parody of himself. Repetitive as a wind up doll, verbose, I've never heard an original idea from him, a real insight. I have no interest, absolutely none, in hearing from Karl Rove and his ridiculous white board, or Lindsay Graham announcing that this time, this time by gumbo, he is really going to do... something! Geraldo Rivera? Gimme a break.
Tucker is smart, insightful and knows exactly what is going on today with the Democrat Party and the Swamp in general. He has a brass pair, and keeps exposing corruption and malice despite personal threats and the withdrawal of sponsors.

Interesting point. Of course beelzebos is an internationalist elite who will gladly be china’s biggest lobbyist against us interests for chinese crumbs. I wonder if he realizes that the chinese are playing for the long game and for keeps, or if his short term “get that deal signed” go getterism blinds him the power of guns and government. He apparently built a $42 million clock in Texas to remind tothink long term. Of course people with guns and power can disrupt long term plans.
Surely both tucker and sean are aware of globalist elites- mainly bribe takers- and are both against them.
I’m not sure if one comment about bezos is evidence of anything. I personally can’t imagine that sean is blind to the fact that capitalism cannot exist without the extistence of nations.

Hannity is like a stuck record. He repeats himself over and over and over again.

What blather. How old is this guy? He sounds like a teenager. I agree with posts regarding Hannity being a little tough to take. His heart seems in the right place but a little too much ego is showing. Anyhow, it is not a choice between production and means. Regardless who is behind the curtain it still comes down to us vs, commies. If he hasn't notice we are seeing all of the makings of a good old commie effort of a takeover. Those dear sweet protesters are using all the old tried and true means to produce communism in this country.
This is the real world not a movie. That there is new technology does not change the stripes of the tiger prowling at outside door. The Bolsheviks were rising up for the people, for the workers, for the poor, etc. just as those we see today.
I guess his point is - look at the nice new sheep's clothing the wolf is wearing. Yeah, okay, but it is still the age old communist monster wearing it. This is not a debate, as the author frames it, it is war. It has been declared but our leaders are slow on the uptake.

Tucker actually listens to his guests. Hannity has done a great service by grinding against the injustices of the Mueller investigation, but he really, really likes to hear himself talk...

The article perfectly sums up why Carlson is "must-see" whereas I cannot stand the Hannity monologues and watch only for some of the guests, notably Bongino, Sara Carter, and John Solomon. As #11 pointed out, "Carlson actually listens to his guests" whereas Hannity continually talks over them and is an atrocious interviewer. Replace Hannity with Bongino (a number of others such as Mark Steyn would be interesting as well) and the Fox evening opinion lineup starting with Carlson and ending with Ingraham will be stellar.

If I am going to spend an hour of my time watching a television program I want to be entertained or educated. With Carlson, I usually get both. With Hannity, I got neither; which is why I quit watching him going back to the days when Colmes was still alive.
For me there are only two Fox shows worthy of my time: Tucker and Mark Levin.
