Fox News host Tucker Carlson lost some high-profile advertisers over comments he made earlier this week after he contended the current protests are “definitely not about black lives.”

The advertisers who have announced they are pulling ads from “Tucker Carlson Tonight” include ABC, whose parent company is Disney, T-Mobile and Papa John’s Pizza.

In a segment that aired on Monday, Carlson said, “No matter what they tell you, it has very little to do with black lives. If only it did.”

“If Democratic leaders cared about saving the lives of black people — and they should — they wouldn’t ignore the murder of thousands of black men in their cities every year.”

“They wouldn’t put abortion clinics in black neighborhoods,” Carlson said. “They would instead do their very best to improve the public schools and to encourage intact families.”

Carlson argued that Democratic leaders don’t even try to make these changes that would improve the lives of African-Americans.

“This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through, but it is definitely not about black lives and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will,” he concluded.

“At a moment like this, there is no advantage in cowardice,” Carlson said. “Tell the truth. And the truth is this is a good country, better than any other. Of course, we are flawed, but we are trying, unlike most places, and we have nothing to be ashamed of.”

Disney confirmed to Deadline that it will not be placing ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” going forward, noting that a third-party buyer secured the spots in the first place.

T-Mobile tweeted that it had not run ads on Carlson’s show since early May, but has canceled future ads.

“We will continue to support those who stand against racial injustice,” the tweet read.

T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert also chimed in, tweeting, “Bye-bye, Tucker Carlson!”

The self-described anti-bigotry advocacy group Sleeping Giants responded to T-Mobile’s announcement, encouraging the company to pull all advertising from Fox News, given the network “continues to push this type of rhetoric.”

In a statement to Bloomberg, Papa John’s said it will no longer be advertising on any opinion-based programs like “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

I suppose, we should not expect anything different when a voice raises up against the evil that is considered good and the good considered evil. It was this way with Jesus and we will see this kind of persecution. However, we must speak truth even in the midst of what comes against us. Jesus said, those who seek truth listen to me. Mr Carlson is in good company and my prayer is that the Jehovah Jireh will make all provision necessary to stand in the public arena. Show us Your Glory Lord, that we may praise Your Holy Name.

Pray & Be encouraged
I watched Tucker Carlson say these things and thought God is speaking truth through him and a few others in the media. As I was sitting on the sofa I felt a rush of emotion, the hatred of Satan and his demons for these truth speakers. I felt something like a huge bat or club raised against them, posed to swing and knock them off, wipe them out. I didn’t want to “own” these emotions and so immediately turned to God. I saw the huge bat, club like thing raised in the air posed to strike, but I watched as the prayers dissipated and dissolved it. It disintegrated and fell to nothingness.
PRAYER MATTERS!!!!

Tucker Carlson is right; he spoke the truth. Father, I pray that you open people’s eyes to discern the truth from the lie and that you reveal the hidden agendas and plans of satan and those who are carrying out his plans in the earth.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, I pray Freedom of Speech will not be undermined by any and all American companies or media/news outlets. Lord, I pray you help Tucker Carlson have the same compassion when it comes to him reporting news for/about the KKK and other white hate groups. Praying for a true God encounter for Tucker Carlson. Praying for news outlets that are just, fair and righteous in their delivery of the news.
 
These companies and media/news outlets, Lord, are saying to consumers, “We decide what you should hear and what someone else says”. Stop them all (we bind up this spirit of control and manipulation ), Lord from using their power and money to destroy Freedom of Speech in America. Lord, show them all (we loose the Spirit of truth, wisdom of God, discernment and the blood of Jesus) they are not the conscience of America.
 
To use money to control what others say and think is a spirit of control and manipulation and witchcraft. We bind up the spirit of control and manipulation, witchcraft, confusion, fear and deception. We loose the Spirit of truth, wisdom of God, discernment and the blood of Jesus and freedom from controller spirits. In Jesus name. Amen
I pray these companies and news outlets will focus on providing honesty, truth and good/premier products for consumers and not cause their products/platforms to become political footballs. In Jesus name. Amen
 
Holy Spirit (Spirit of Truth) guides and helps us. I pray, decree and declare Proverbs 2 that we gain wisdom to discern your truth God. In Jesus name. Amen.

I’m not on any social media platforms. I deactivate them all so I’m posing my question here. Does anyone know of a christian-based cell phone company that my family and I can take a look at. We currently have MetroPCS but T-Mobile merged with them. I don’t want to support this company if I can in any avoid dealing with them.

I’m a born again spirit filled christian first and foremost. I’m a black woman second. Black lives matters is NOT about black lives. Their goals are in your face and clearly stated on their website where they unashamedly state what they believe. In fact they are in the truest sense of the word a terrorist organization that conducts their terrorist activities in a way one would not suspect. So sinister . . . their goal is to promote the LGBTQ agenda, to “disrupt the western-prescribed nuclear family, dismantle cisgender privilege, uplift black trans folk especially black trans women, dismantle the patriarchal practice, . . . foster a queer-affirming network . . . with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather the believe that all in the world are heterosexual.” There is is plain and clear for anyone who wants to see to see. To put it bluntly it is an ideology straight from the pit of hell, and we must pray against it and its impact upon our nation, and that those that are blinded to the truth would come to know Jesus before it is too late. Yes, they are also funded by George Soros and others. We must pray that George Soros’ finances dry up so that he can no longer promote this filth along with the other evil things he uses his money to promote. God loves him and he needs Jesus too.

    Thank you for speaking up so boldly. I, too, have been letting people know that the Black Lives Matter movement is NOT about black lives. Some have called me a traitor to my race, others have accused me of being racist because I won’t lend my support to the organization. I don’t judge any of them because I know they have been deceived. But it has made me much more hesitant to speak out. However, just as you stated I’m a Christian first, a black woman second, and as a Christian I believe it’s imperative for me to search out a matter, organization, or cause and then prayerfully decide whether to support it. There are myriad other ways to help the black community without supporting BLM, such as supporting black-owned businesses, working to improve access to quality education for black children, providing job training or business development programs for starters. I pray for God to open people’s eyes to see the truth and that he protect those who are speaking out so that their voices are not silenced. I pray the plans of the enemy to divide the nation and to divide the church will be confused and made of no effect. And I pray for all of those individuals who support and fund BLM and Antifa, as well as the members of these organizations, that they be saved and filled with your Holy Spirit.

Black lives matter is funded by George soros. A political movement that is being emotionally manipulated by the Left.
God is color blind.
We thank God for Tucker Carlson’s voice. Let him continue to speak. Give him new revenue sources.

I ask, O Holy One, that You would reverse the curse (of the loss of these advertisers)and bring an abundance of blessings to Tucker and his program. May he walk in a Holy boldness and continue to speak Your truth.
May Your will be done.
Amen

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Disney has gone left anyway promoting gay lifestyles to children, t Mobile had an outage on Monday, papa John’s can be replaced by home made 🍕. I guarantee the other “dishonest” news have their full support. I pray their businesses not do well. If the truth is spoken the left who cries intolerant are the most intolerant bullies EVER! 🙅🏻 Freedom of speech only applies to leftist bully pulpits. It’s a disgrace that one can’t speak unless it fits the left appalling narrative. Lord deal with these intolerant bullies who think their money is the ticket to do as they please. Tucker will succeed because he speaks what the Lord loves The Truth!

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, I pray Freedom of Speech will not be undermined by American companies that feel it is their place to determine who can express their opinion, their truths. These companies, Lord, are saying to consumers, “We decide what you should hear and what someone else says”. Stop them, Lord from using their power and money to destroy Freedom of Speech in America. Lord, show them, they are not the conscience
of America. To use money to control what others say and think is sinful. I pray these companies will focus on providing premier products for consumers and not cause their products to become political footballs, that, I for one, will avoid purchasing for that very reason. Amen.
Amen.
