Why I Go On Tucker Carlson
April 22, 22022
Happy Earth Day! This post is being sent to all subscribers to this Substack. In my paid-subscriber only posts (typically 2-3 per week), I go into more depth, provide lay discussions of legal topics, and share insights into where our society is going on matters relating to sex and gender. If you would like to see more of that kind of content, please consider a paid subscription.
People often ask me, “Kara, why do you go on the Tucker Carlson show? Since you’re a liberal, have you considered going on a network like MSNBC, CNN, or NPR, instead of Fox?” I get it. To people new to this issue, it must seem perplexing. What is a leftist feminist life-long Democrat doing on Fox News?
The answer to the latter question is, yes, of course. I have asked several times to be invited onto those networks to discuss my book The Abolition of Sex: How the ‘Transgender Agenda Harms Women and Girls.” Of course I would accept an invitation to go on those networks. Probably any of us who are fighting the scourge of “gender identity” would. They simply won’t have us.
The answer to the former question is more complicated.
I first went on Tucker Carlson Tonight in February 2017. The show had not invited me, per se. It had sent an invitation to the media email address of the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), which I administered at the time. WoLF had sued the Obama Administration concerning a 2016 document related to redefining sex to include “gender identity” in the Title IX context, and that appeared to have gotten Fox News’s attention. They wanted to invite someone from WoLF on the Tucker Carlson show. WoLF grappled with whether or not to accept and eventually decided to do it. Since I was the only board member living in Washington, D.C. (where Fox has a studio), we decided that I would do it. That interview is available here. I have maintained a correspondence with the shows’ producers since then.
I have been on the show several times since 2017. I continue to do this for a few reasons: (1) no matter what he might have to say on other matters, he is the only person in the entire media landscape (including most conservative media) that is actually getting this right, and he has clearly done his homework; (2) I am committed to getting the message out however I can; and (3) conservative audiences have a lot to learn from radical feminists on this topic, because they often get it wrong.
Interestingly, his audience is much broader than most of us assume. The message is getting out.
This interview is from December 2021. In March of this year, a friend alerted me to the fact that it had gotten over 1.4 million views. A few days ago, someone tweeted it and tagged me, prompting me to check the number of views. Since March, it had gotten over 200,000 new views, and was now at 1.6 million. I have continued to check on it, and every time I hit the refresh button, the number of views has climbed by the hundreds or thousands. As of publishing, it has close to 1.7 million views. If it hits that mark soon, that will mean it will have gotten around 100,000 new views in just a few days.
In January of this year, I went to Florida for an hour-long discussion with him, where we broke down several topics: the censorship of women (and men) who speak out about this topic, the violations of women’s boundaries, and the industry that is driving the whole thing. Each segment has thousands of views.
This interview is from April 20, 2022. In the two days since it was posted, it has gotten over 760,000 views.
If anyone can persuade Rachel Maddow, Amy Goodman, Anderson Cooper, Chuck Todd, or any of the lefty bro late night hosts to invite me onto their shows, I will be more than happy to accept. I have tried, repeatedly since 2017, to talk with them and their audiences, to no avail. These outlets have not invited me, or anyone speaking out about the dangers of enshrining “gender identity” in the law, to talk. If they do, great! But I have no reason to think that they will.
Part of the reason this is interesting to me, personally, is that I have been on most of these networks before, in one way or another, talking about a completely different topic: police militarization. In 2014, I talked about it with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez on Democracy Now! and in a CNN segment. I wrote about it on CNN here.
I do not think that any of these networks are ignorant about the topic of how sex is being redefined throughout U.S. law to include the nebulous and meaningless concept of “gender identity.” These media outlets have, for now, been completely captured by the “gender identity” industry, or, in the words of the 11th Hour Blog, the “techno-medical complex.”
In the meantime, we have to do what we can to keep getting the message out.
Have a great weekend!
