TUCKER: Legislators Are Blackmailed by Intel Community, Top Legislator Says

Last Updated on January 23, 2025

Tucker Carlson left Joe Rogan speechless with this disturbing claim — a claim Tucker asserts as fact during an interview with Joe Rogan that has re-emerged since the Trump inauguration.

“Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies,” Tucker told Rogan.

The extent of the political influence held by intelligence agencies has been made clear by insider revelations. Even individuals in the intelligence committee and those overseeing these secretive organizations have acknowledged their power. These agencies operate with undisclosed budgets, which adds to their authority and creates fear among those responsible for monitoring them.

Following Trump’s election in 2016, the impact of intelligence agencies on political affairs became evident. Throughout Trump’s first term, the public was often unable to fully appreciate the administration’s achievements due to a constant stream of scandals, many of which were orchestrated by these government agencies.

Senator Chuck Schumer, a member of the Democratic Party, candidly expressed the influence wielded by intelligence agencies. In an interview with MSNBC, Schumer remarked that if you challenge the intelligence community, they possess numerous methods to retaliate, emphasizing their formidable power with a hint of amusement.

The FBI, we learned, misled congress regarding the reliability of the Steele Dosier, in order to spy on the Trump campaign.  FBI agent, Peter Strzok, became a darling of the left after it was discovered that he conspired to frame the president.

It is no wonder that the Butler Pennsylvania assassination attempt on Trump, in 2024, was viewed by many as possibly connected to these agencies.

Tucker Carlson, who has not been afraid to say the quiet part outloud, was fired from Fox in 2023 for consistently calling attention to these abuses of power.

Allowing unelected intel agency operatives this much power, Tucker told Rogan, is un-American. “That’s not compatible with democracy. Democracy is a really simple system, even representative democracy like ours. The people rule. They do so through elections. They express their preference through voting. They send their people to the capital city to run the government on their behalf.”

With the Senate confirmation of President Trump’s CIA director pick, John Ratcliffe – and with hopeful FBI director Kash Patel in the wings – we can only hope to see much-needed reform.

If this glaring problem is not fixed, our elections will mean nothing, as our politicians will be subject to the whims and biases of unelected agents and operatives, Tucker argued.

“Whenever you have unelected people who are not accountable to anyone making the biggest decisions, you don’t have a democracy, you have something else. Another system. I would call it a tyranny, or whatever you want to call it. It’s not a democracy.”
