A haunting glimpse into a heart of darkness.
What is there to say about Tucker Carlson’s rather diabolical post-Fox News career trajectory that hasn’t already been said? I’m not even sure what there is to say that I haven’t already said myself.From filming Soviet-style propaganda in Moscow to saying he would have consoled Osama bin Laden’s family to calling Deitrich Bonhoeffer a bad Christian to blaming Winston Churchill for causing World War II to praising Nicolas Maduro’s alleged “social conservatism” to blasting the Hebrew Bible as “genocidal” and so very much else in-between, the nauseating carnival ride that is “The Tucker Carlson Show” takes the viewer so far through the looking-glass that he risks popping out of Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani’s sphincter on the other side.
Is Carlson, the leading arsonist of America’s fifth column “retard right,” a clear psychopath? Surely. Is the Doha Shill a veritable lunatic? Certainly. Is he a grotesque liar? Undoubtedly. Has he lost touch with reality? Absolutely. Is he pocketing money from enemy Islamic regimes? Probably. Has he converted, or does he intend to convert, to Islam? Maybe!
We can spend all the time in the world debating Carlson’s peculiar motives for declaring jihad on the very nation he risibly purports to support and the civilizational inheritance to which he unpersuasively professes allegiance. But more important than Carlson’s subjective intentions—whatever they may or may not be—are the cancerous effects of his treacherous actions.
On Monday, three days following the publication of a cartoonish and scandalous conversation with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee that was a less earnest “interview” than an unhinged assault, President Donald Trump met with Carlson at the White House. The meeting came after the past weekend’s revelation, courtesy of the Israeli “national conservative” thinker Yoram Hazony, that Trump had already directed Carlson at a Jan. 11 meeting to end his intractable fighting with Jews, Israelis, and their Christian Zionist allies.
Earlier on Monday, Eli Lake had scooped for The Free Press that GOP fundraisers and campaign hands have become increasingly voluble in sounding the alarm about Carlson to Trump and his inner circle of advisers. The reason for sounding that alarm, as I have been doing on my own show for some considerable time now, is simple: Tucker Carlson increasingly talks and sounds like a Nazi. And Nazis, it turns out, are not popular. Most “normie” Americans—those who do not dwell in certain fetid online fever swamps—have little to no interest in making common political cause with Nazis. Some are even the descendants of those who fought, and perhaps died fighting against, the Nazis. Carlson would have been more likely to man artillery for the Wehrmacht, firing down on those storming the beaches of Normandy.
The post-Huckabee podcast interview timing of Monday’s White House rendezvous with Tucker Carlson the Doha Shill is clear. For the second month in a row, the most important man in the world has taken time out of his busy day to rebuke Carlson and demand a course correction. The online betting markets, after all, currently show Democrats poised to recapture the House this November; they’re set to make a real play at recapturing the Senate as well. Presumably, the Trumpian logic goes as follows: It would be helpful if Carlson, who asserts fealty to Trump even as he knifes him and his agenda at every opportunity, were to focus on the economy, crime, and immigration—not DNA-testing Israeli Jews to see if they are actually the Children of Abraham.
Um, you think?
Unfortunately for Trump and the GOP, that it isn’t going to happen. Carlson didn’t budge off his pet obsession by even a millimeter after the first Trump request, and this time won’t be any different. Perhaps if Carlson faced meaningful repercussion from those whose good graces he covets—such as Vice President JD Vance or the late Charlie Kirk’s outfit, Turning Point USA—then he might change course. Maybe. But maybe not. Because at this point, having traveled as far down this hellish road and having spat on his late pro-Israel father’s legacy as much as he has, it’s clear that Carlson is not acting in a rational manner. Rather, he is guided by dogma. Carlson’s is a jihad not of convenience, but of zealotry.
True, Carlson told Nick Fuentes, the leading neo-Nazi of his generation, that he hates Christian Zionists “more than anyone.” And I don’t doubt that Carlson means what he says. But he hates these Christians—most of whom are probably more religious than Carlson, who I’m reliably informed doesn’t even attend church—because of their affinity for the Jewish people and/or the Jewish state of Israel. And it is Carlson’s unhealthy and unshakeable fixation with the original People of the Book—and their biblical homeland—that drives so much of his show’s painfully stupid, brain rot-inducing content these days. --->READ MORE HERE
