Unless you’ve been following the Civil War drama unfolding on the Right, you’d never know that the reason Tucker Carlson proclaimed — in melodramatic fashion — that he regrets his vote for Trump is because of Trump’s support for Israel.
Tucker has turned into a rage-baiter (it seems). I used to listen to him only when the world freaked out about whatever his guest said, then I wanted to know what taboo truth was being aired. Now I’m just done with most all podcaster's. Most of them are not good for one’s mental health.
I’m missing Scott Adams, may his soul RIP. Walter Kirn no longer doing "America this Week" with Taibbi I also count as a loss.
So if they regret voting for DJT, they would have, in retrospect, voted for the laughing hyena? Spare me. Tucker has lost the plot. He has IDS (Israel Derangement Syndrome).
Heard this on talk radio yesterday, so take it for what's it's worth. Speculation that Tucker is under investigation for foreign connections and "leaking info". Apparently he was in the Oval Office talking with Trump a couple of days before Operation Epic Fury and Trump assured him he wasn't going to attack Iran. Supposedly Tucker lets his Iranian contact know this and guess what, all the Mullahs meet together and surprise, they almost all are killed in an air strike to kick off the war. Basically Trump used Tucker as the "useful idiot" that he is and Tucker didn't like it. Who knows? Makes sense though when you think about it.
It doesn't have to be one or the other. In retrospect I would have done what I was going to do, write in Kennedy, but he (RFK), asked people to vote Trump, in all states, because of election fraud / tampering.
I do regret going to Rescue the Republic, when that was when my Mom's health was fading and I should have been with her more. (I loved the event, though ... but the same things we tried to stop are happening, some faster, and a very few - that do matter - at least on hold for now, until the other "cheek of the same butt" - Lizz Gunn, Free NZ said that, rings very true .. until the other uniparty claw gets in, at least the COVID shot isn't forced on people and less children are being pushed to the trans pipeline, and less kids are coming into the US to be trafficked.
No I wouldn't have voted for the hyena.
Derangement Syndrome is automatically reacting without understanding. Like the idiots who take Tylenol on camera while pregnant because The Bad Man said it may have a link to autism and to try to go through a fever without taking it if pregnant.
Tucker is letting in true information about what Israel does, and what Paula White the super-creepy-expensive-blessing-pastor-grifter is ...
The people around Trump are disturbingly creepy. Laura Loomer ...?
It's fair enough to say there's a problem here. Even chalk it up to age and Loomer. But maybe if this many people are no longer trusting Trump, and the camp who is still strongly for him includes Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, and Ben Shapiro ...
It’s stunning to watch the world choosing up sides for a 21st century religious war. It’s even more amazing to watch the sides people are taking. Traditional Christianity (Catholics and mainline Protestants), the progressive atheist religion, and Islam against the Jews and evangelical Christians.
Islam has vowed to kill Jews since its inception in the 7th century. The atheist progressives hate the Jews and Israel because they are the visible, real life refutation of the oppressed/oppressor creed. 80 years ago the Jews were almost completely annihilated; now they have built a flourishing country in the desert. Meanwhile, the perpetual victims are still in “refugee” camps, despite many billions in aid.
Since Islam, traditional Christianity and progressivism are fundamentally incompatible, each group must somehow believe it is just using the others as a stepping stone to get the power they seek. In that battle for power over the West which is sure to follow after the diversion with the Jews is complete, my money would be on the billion and a half Muslims with little to lose.
Choose your friends carefully, Ellen. “Give Peace a Chance” sounds great in a song, but it is totally divorced from the real world situation.
You nailed it. The Left in America are almost all atheists or highly agnostic. Bill Maher is a great example. Being atheist is to live a self-indulgent and amoral life (stealing is okay, murder of a wealthy man is okay, loveless sex is okay, abortion is okay) because there is nothing after and there is no accountability for the quality of one's own life or how one treats others. It is pure narcissism, which describes the vast majority of American's under 50 and some over, especially the blue-haired grannies. Islam hates everyone else and wants to kill everyone, even the Islamists across their own party lines (Sunni v Shi'a). Protestants and most Catholics have joined common cause with the atheists, which says a lot about the failure of religion for those people, who again, are narcissists and don't really believe there is a greater power. That leaves the minority who do fight for a greater good that lives on after we are gone, the serious Jews (not Reform Jews) and fundamental (evangelical) Christians. It should be an unfair fight by number. But G-d does favor those who favor him.
The psychopathic Zionist project uses anyone they can. Honest Christians like Tucker are saying there is nothing Godlly about the Zionist project - and he's only comprehending the tiniest bit about the evils the Zionist project has done.
"I was detained in Sde Teiman. They took a group of detainees and me to a corridor between the sections and forced us to strip completely naked. The soldiers brought in several dogs. One of them urinated on me. One of the dogs then raped me, penetrated my anus in a trained manner while I was being beaten. This continued for several minutes. I felt profoundly humiliated and violated."
This is the all day every day way that Israel operates.
"The answer to the question “How can Israeli soldiers carry out such monstrous acts?” is the same as the answer to the question “Why do IDF troops keep filming themselves dressing in the underwear of dead or displaced Palestinian women?” The answer is because of the systematic dehumanization of Palestinians in Israel.
Because Israel is a fundamentally unjust state established on fundamentally unjust principles, it is necessary for its citizenry to be indoctrinated from birth into a fundamentally unjust worldview. In order for it to make sense for there to be a society where one group is treated one way and another group is treated another way just because of their religion and ethnicity, Israelis must be raised to see Palestinians as less than human. As less than animals. As less than vermin. They need to be hated with ferocious intensity." - https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/this-mass-atrocity-is-made-possible?utm_source=publication-search
This is the real world situation .. how can this be defended?
The new guys trolls paid subscribers in the comments. I immediately cancelled after reading this behavior. (I wasn’t one of the complaining). Maturity matters.
What so annoyed me about it is that six weeks earlier, I had bought a year's subscription with the presumption that Walter and America This Week were stable parts of what Taibbi did.
I've rarely had any interest in anything Taibbi has done since.
If anyone would bother to listen to Megyn they would know she doesn’t regret voting him. She just doesn’t agree with the Iran war and wishes he would get back to America First.
Why doesn't Tucker discuss his own very low moral and ethical character. This man says whatever puts a meal on the table. He is not interested in Truth in any way. Just like Candace Owen, he only cares about The Benjamins. Tucker belongs with the Left. He lies and mischaracterizes for personal power just like them. Go to Hell, Tucker. I am sorry I ever spent any time listening to you
What happened to Taibbi? He went the way of Tucker Carlson, as far as I can tell. All rage, all day. So uncool. Walter Kirn probably couldn't take it any more.
VDH has far more experience of real world problems than do the podcast folks, most of whom have had staff and handlers during their media careers. Now that they are “Independent” they flail between different points of view in search of clicks and $$. The antisemitism on display (not just criticism of Israel, as they claim) is as repellent as such attitudes always are. My guess is that Charlie Kirk is turning in his grave and simultaneously praying for these folks to have a literal “Come to Jesus” moment.
These folks WISH they could be half as effective as President Trump. He has cajoled the banks into helping those in CA who lost their homes in the horrible wildfires of Jan 2025; 900 such permits already granted this year, vs a handful last year. Then there is the 2 year old child who can now hear because of a breakthrough Regeneron drug. Trump employed his negotiating skills to obtain better drug pricing. All of this while working on Hezbollah/Lebanon cease fire and managing the Iran conflict.
The podcast bros don’t understand that even a magician can’t control opponents domestic and foreign. So many avenues of success in Trump 2.0 and these folks suck their thumbs like babies when they aren’t given the attention they want.
If only the media would cover this fairly even more Americans would see the progress.
The captured press is left behind ... (maybe that's wishful thinking)... I meant they're not necessary ... they may be saying a few true things now (I don't know), but they lost their integrity, or never had any.
There's an abundance of thoughtful, curious, honest coverage, that's not captured at all.
(I'm not disagreeing that the press is captured. Just saying it's much deeper than that .. )
I do agree with this ~ "Charlie Kirk is turning in his grave and simultaneously praying for these folks to have a literal “Come to Jesus” moment."
But I think Charlie would like them to see things like this, an IDF soldier chopping a statue of Christ, and to see what Tucker sees in the disrespect to God and humanity that threatening an entire civilization with destruction on Easter is (Not everyone in Iran had read Art of the Deal and knew he was bluffing, and bringing threats like that into war is damaging even if not carried out. On Easter 2 years ago, conservatives freaked out because "Biden" mentioned that the same Day of the Month was Also Transgender Day of Visibility (yes, ugh, but .. double standards..)
Charlie was done with Isreal at the end of his life.
It's not just podcasters, there are former military, and people who see big picture stuff, who have good track records, who got COVID right (and some who didn't get COVID right, but didn't dwell there, because they were busy being deep in understanding other parts of the world from Talking to the people in those parts of the world. Not just talking about them, talking to them.)
They're talking to podcasters, but it's much more than podcasters giving their thoughts on the war ...
Interview here with Iranian, good, intelligent, solutions-focused conversation. And also an awesome AI Lego video from a media company of Gen Z'ers in Iran, not made by the gov't (they were making videos critical of the gov't before the war) .. This one's a message to the west, and it rings very true. (It's well said, but nothing about it is new, it rings true because it is .. )
"We don't confuse the empire with the people that it rules".
Nonsense. For every 30 videos showing Kirk supporting Israel, you can't produce even one showing he no longer supported Israel. Just BS alleged "texts" that he was disappointed at how Israel was bad at propaganda to contradict the crap alleged against it.
Well done. He is terrific. No one could have taken over the mantle of Rush and VDH is the first to admit it. Interesting that Hanson and Rush texted about every day during the last year or so of Limbaugh's life.
No worries. I've heard Hanson talk about it only a time or two during his podcasts and, then, matter-of-factly. Not "Hey, hey look at me. I talked with Rush." Carlson could have learned a lesson or two in humility and greatness from both men.
I also love Dr. Hanson. He's incredibly knowledgeable and deep, yet accessible. Lately, I am also listening to Glen Beck regularly, and Ben Shapiro. They seem to be sane voices in our clamoring world.
That seems to be a pretty fair quartet to follow current events with: Hanson, Stone, Shapiro and Beck. Kind of a 'murderer's row'* of sanity in these nutty, historic times.
It takes a large amount of hubris to think that you, and you alone, convinced people to vote for Trump. As if people were waiting with baited breath to find out who Tucker wanted them to vote for! The apology drips with narcissism and is totally on brand. Save your apology, Tucker. You’re not THAT important.
It’s really too bad because he has made some salient points over the years. I stopped listening to him quite awhile ago and when a friend forwarded his interview with the “whistleblower” Tony Aguilar about IDF and humanitarian aid “atrocities” in Gaza, I watched it but sensed something was off. He didn’t ever question Aguilar’s info and didn’t press him to provide proof of his accusations. Eventually, Aguilar was outed as nothing more than a liar and disgruntled employee who had an axe to grind (I kinda picked up something along those lines during the interview but couldn’t quite put my finger on it). Now I know why Tucker didn’t push back at all — he WANTED to believe what Aguilar said about the IDF and his subsequent comments about Israel bear that out.
I suspect he’s always harbored these feelings but now senses he has allies in his beliefs. He’s also harboring the delusion that somehow HE influenced people to vote unknowingly for a “Jew lover”. The fact that Trump supports Israel has never been a secret — anyone paying attention knew that. Tucker just felt comfortable enough in the current environment to out himself as an anti-Semite while laughing (ugh, that giggle!) at anyone who called him that. Just own it, Tucker. I’d have slightly more respect for you if you did.
PS: Re: Tony Aguilar — I pegged him as a douchebag self-promoter the minute I noticed him wearing his Purple Heart pin on civilian clothing.
Glad I missed the Aguilar stuff. The Purple Heart display -- ugh! For me, Tucker 's disintegration started pretty early in his new podcasts, preceding, even, his Israeli, general Middle Eastern and Trump rants. There was something about Carlson on his own that was just off. I guess he needed the Fox leash of producers to keep what I will call his "effervescence" in check more than anyone knew. It must have been a real shock for him to be -- more or less -- publicly canned. People deal with that level of adversity differently. When he was "on" back in the day, Carlson was often brilliant, sometimes approaching wise. Not any more. Very sad.
There were a handful of interesting interviews in Tuckers earlier podcast days. His manipulative, weird way of speaking started to get to me though. Also when he began some of his podcasts with 15 minutes or so of priming you what to think about the coming interview. He did that with the Huckabee interview. The last one I watched.
Tucker told the story of being attacked by a demon in his bed and woke up with bloody scratches on his body recently in the last 2 years. Really. Not out of context, you can find his words on the internet. He quotes scripture like the warden in the movie SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. Weird. I was taught religion and the creator is a private thing and not to be Elmer Gantry, of the movie Elmer Gantry.
Tucker has issues, agreed. But there’s a lot of space between keeping faith strictly private and Elmer Gantry. To the extent you find the Bible relevant, you might look there for the notion of keeping one’s faith private. Let us know.
So all these people/ Podcasters saying they were “Misled” and “Regret and want to apologize” for voting for Trump. They think the alternative is to vote for Democrats? They think this is the answer to the problems facing the country and the world is put Democrats in charge. If so they are not really conservatives they have sold out to the Progressives and figure they will get their rewards down the line from the Obama cartel
How anyone can possibly believe Kackles would have been a better choice is beyond me. 4 years of Puddingbrain followed by 4 years of WordSalad would have been the end of us!
My biggest fear has been that people tend to have short memories in politics. I haven't forgotten the misery and harm caused by the Biden administration. Geez, people were losing their jobs for using wrong pronouns. Navy Seals were fired for refusing the vax. And that doesnt even include the catastrophe at the border, and the Aghanistan exit. It was awful.
I suspect that many people voted for Trump out of frustration with the Dems more than support for Trump. Those people will be, and have been, easily swayed against him. As a former leftie, I understand this impulse. Even after I decided I couldn't vote for Dems anymore (shortly after Obama got elected the first time), I still voted for very liberal candidates. It took me until Covid to really see that the left was for the most part not something I could support anymore. Not voting for Kamala is not an indication that someone is no longer going to vote for progressive leftists, in other words. Sad but true, and of course people like Tucker make it easier for such people to feel they made a mistake voting for Trump. I still have hopes for the midterms though, and I plan to vote straight Republican, even though I'm not a Republican and never will be because I still don't see a ton of difference between the two parties once they actually get into office. But I DO see that the leftists have no policies ideas that promote freedom for all Americans, so I can never vote for them again.
Tucker has been off the rails for some time now. Tucker, Candace, Megyn, all are not worth listening to their insane rants and Jooz hate. Narcissists like them are in their prime with the bias media pushing them along. I tend to ignore them because I don’t want or need their opinions to spoil my day. Victor Davis Hanson is always spot on with his comments on any subject. Definitely a voice to listen to and gain perspective.
If you think Tucker, Candace, or Megyn hate Jews, you're not hearing them, you're hearing what you want to hear.
Not denying some people out there conflate the atrocities of the psychopathic state of Isreal with Jewish people in general, but not those three. Mentioning that a high proportion of a certain population is Jewish doesn't mean one hates Jews. Mentioning if a high percentage of a certain population if gay doesn't mean one hates gays.
It’s so helpful to listen to them in context. Particularly, Megyn Kelly who is absolutely not antisemitic or a Trump hater. She just doesn’t agree with the war in Iran. According to polls, 70% plus of Americans are against the war. She can have opinion without being labeled antisemitic.
The little I’ve heard, she’s wrong and so annoying as she gets riled up. The Iran conflict will end up being a major change for ME improving relationships with many Arab countries who are solidly behind this and give total support. Presidents gave complained for almost 5 decades. We now have a President and an administration willing to take it on.
Like him or not, agree with his every word or not, Tucker Carlson is one of the most successful and relevant journalists on the planet and he will continue to be.
Washing toilets? GMAB. That's ridiculous. Is that some kinda stupid smear campaign? Get over it.
Cut the oxycodone!!!!! You need to br put in a mental asylum!!!!! You are an absolute incompetent and your answers are the things that had to be flushed down the toilet!!!’ Stop being a retarded jerk!!!!
I'm shocked by it. That may be because I am seventy four and grew up in the shadow of the war. I don't remember when I learned about The Holocaust, probably in 1960, when Eichmann was caught.
Most of the America I remember was an America in which an expression of anti Semitism would be the occasion for an ostracization. For what it's worth I do not believe these are a mass hysteria. Something spiritual is going on, and it's very dark.
Do you remember the passage in chapter 10 of Daniel when Gabriel visits Daniel and apologizes to him (Daniel) for being late to arrive? Gabriel says he was held up fighting by the “Prince of Persia” (Satan) until Archangel Michael came alongside and helped him:
12 “Don’t be afraid, Daniel,” he said to me, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers.
13 “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia.”
That’s kind of where I feel where we are in the narrative. You are absolutely correct. This is a battle of good and evil but we are not alone.
Loomer brings art projects, exaggerations, and lies. If you really believe that, can you be curious enough to see 14 minutes, or even two minutes if you skip to 48:46 ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaWtDuoY_ns&t=2201s
Loomer accused Candace's husband of driving drunk with a firearm. She had "receipts" - Candace's insurance paid $6,987 for a fender bender in a parking lot, nothing to do with driving drunk or a firearm.
I would LOVE(!!) to see Loomer face to face with Tucker.
He would surely ask her how she could claim certainty of who God hates. Maybe(?) he would offer her an exorcism, she surely needs it.
Interesting comment with some of the bold and outrageous comments made by Loomer which make her bi-weekly podcasts informative and interesting to watch. Agree she makes bold claims, edgy, but she is consistent in her conservative, pro Trump, MAGA beliefs. I could fill a room with all the nonsense spewed by tucker carlson, his flip floppping, outrageous lies, clown faux expert guests, platforming of Jew haters and history revisionists.
Loomer has much courage and draws hateful rhetoric based on her consistent support of Trump, her refusal to capitulate to Jew haters, and edgy take on important issues. Agree she talks obsessively about candace owens, with whom she is engaged in an ugly catfight which becomes dark, dirty, and laughable as Loomer devoted an entire 2 hour podcast to lambasting owens.
As for her expression, "G-d hates you," clearly not a statement of fact, but an emotional expression of her disdain for candace owens, who is a despicable person who spews hate and lies and has grown wealthy doing so.
Correct, Sasha, that the extremes of the left and the right are converging over Israel, and where it goes from there - we shall see.
I stopped listening to these podcasters a while ago, and I advise others to do the same. There is nothing optimistic or uplifting about their message and I want no part of it.
Today, I heard a recent clip of Candace Owens stating that ‘Trump has gone full Jew,’ over him saying that the Macrons are suing her. She specified that it was ‘Jew’ to file lawsuits. Now please tell me that Candace is not antisemitic. Megyn and Tucker, tell us again how Candace is not an antisemite. Keep defending your precious princess.
The thing is VDH is a scholar, not a media hog. He will stand on principles and history and will always analyze from that perspective. He's not interested in $$$.
Sadly, I've been adding the names of those who used to be regulars on MK's pod: VDH, The Fifth Column, Dave Rubin, Eric/Don Jr., Ben Shapiro, Batya Unger-Sargon, Walter Kirn, Buck Sexton, and even you Sasha! What a difference six months, a new Sirius channel and a tour will do to an ego like MK's! Really pathetic!
Megyn Kelly is classically self-indulgent / self-important. This is the mark of someone who will stomp on other people if she thinks it can make her more popular. Podcasting gives these egotists the platform they need to prop themselves up and make some pretty good coin in the process
Pretty fair list of regulars you have composed! It has been said that one is known by the company they keep. In Kelly's case, it appears by the company they lost (or let go of). Good job Megyn. Sheesh!
I continue to be puzzled as to where the right wing antisemitism came from. For my whole adult life it was the Left. Going back to Jesse Jackson and Jimmy Carter if not Harry Truman. The media spinning is of course the Left. Perhaps it was always there but underground. I don't think so but it is possible. FTC
FDR too. Turned his back on Jewish refugees and denied them entrance into the country as asylum seekers during the early stages of WW2 when they could still get out of Europe
Richard, I think antisemitism was always there, on both sides of political spectrum, underground or not. It is more in our faces now as it is no longer shameful and has become mainstream.
I am looking at our choices, and they are truly dismal: Marxist antisemites on the left or conspiracy theorists antisemites on the right.
I just didn't hear it from the Right either on line or in meat space until recently. Might be generational. Part of the Republican coalition was evangilcals which have been philo-Semitic since Cromwell or longer so perhaps the new conservatives aren't that. They still influence Trump bigly which creates some safety for now.
It’s truly bizarre to witness. It’s mind blowing. Definitely the beginning of end times. The Bible states that all nations will turn against Israel, yet he also brings back his remnant.
I hate to say this but I saw it early on when Tucker interviewed a vile Holocaust denier. He hid it pretty well for a long time. You know what, I'm not Jewish, or even half Jewish like Sasha, but fuck Jew haters to hell along with all other bigots.
If Trump could run again, I’d vote for him a 4x.
Tucker has turned into a rage-baiter (it seems). I used to listen to him only when the world freaked out about whatever his guest said, then I wanted to know what taboo truth was being aired. Now I’m just done with most all podcaster's. Most of them are not good for one’s mental health.

hope that story is true and Tucker helped destroy the Mullahs and top of IRGC
It's believable.
Sounds like a conspiracy theory.. someone is out to get TC!

What a load of BS. Nobody with half a brain believes this crap.
Well, you are a treasure trove of propaganda.
Tucker seems to have changed, at least his public persona, after his father died.
I unsubscribed that day.
I also unsubscribe to Racket a month ago. Walter's replacement is ridiculous and Taibbi writes every third article.
Same here. Walter was a touchstone for many of us.
I agree. Walter is an American Treasure.
The new guys trolls paid subscribers in the comments. I immediately cancelled after reading this behavior. (I wasn’t one of the complaining). Maturity matters.
Walter is rational. Taibbi, not so much
I unsubscribed too. I miss Walter’s voice. I didn’t care for Matt’s new co-host.
What so annoyed me about it is that six weeks earlier, I had bought a year's subscription with the presumption that Walter and America This Week were stable parts of what Taibbi did.
I've rarely had any interest in anything Taibbi has done since.
Me too.
Yeah, I agree, but Taibbi is a keeper.
Eh, not enough for me to keep my subscription.
Me too! Walter understood far more than Matt and the dialogue was illuminating!
Based on the replies to your comment, it seems that Walter Kirn might be a viable Independent candidate in 2028. :)
That would be wonderful but like Condoleezza Rice, he’s way too smart to be a politician. Nice thought, though!
Batya is terrific too.
If anyone would bother to listen to Megyn they would know she doesn’t regret voting him. She just doesn’t agree with the Iran war and wishes he would get back to America First.
Why doesn't Tucker discuss his own very low moral and ethical character. This man says whatever puts a meal on the table. He is not interested in Truth in any way. Just like Candace Owen, he only cares about The Benjamins. Tucker belongs with the Left. He lies and mischaracterizes for personal power just like them. Go to Hell, Tucker. I am sorry I ever spent any time listening to you
Tucker Carlson speaks the truth! He is right on the trans ideology and he is right on Trump
and Israel! Go Tucker!
What happened to Taibbi? He went the way of Tucker Carlson, as far as I can tell. All rage, all day. So uncool. Walter Kirn probably couldn't take it any more.
Yes. (I was absent for a few days, and was happy to find your brief summation.)
So,one comes to these screens seeking, mmm, knowledge, sanity, or at least glimmers of something useable.
And yes; more and more often, one's mental health is treated as Herend porcelain is chewed by No.5 sandpaper.
So, what remains: A hope to see fewer voices drift away into . . . nihil?
I also miss Scott Adams and Walter Kirn. ATW is a podcast I no longer listen to because of Walter's absence.
Yes! I listen to Victor Davis Hanson now, too.
VDH has far more experience of real world problems than do the podcast folks, most of whom have had staff and handlers during their media careers. Now that they are “Independent” they flail between different points of view in search of clicks and $$. The antisemitism on display (not just criticism of Israel, as they claim) is as repellent as such attitudes always are. My guess is that Charlie Kirk is turning in his grave and simultaneously praying for these folks to have a literal “Come to Jesus” moment.
These folks WISH they could be half as effective as President Trump. He has cajoled the banks into helping those in CA who lost their homes in the horrible wildfires of Jan 2025; 900 such permits already granted this year, vs a handful last year. Then there is the 2 year old child who can now hear because of a breakthrough Regeneron drug. Trump employed his negotiating skills to obtain better drug pricing. All of this while working on Hezbollah/Lebanon cease fire and managing the Iran conflict.
The podcast bros don’t understand that even a magician can’t control opponents domestic and foreign. So many avenues of success in Trump 2.0 and these folks suck their thumbs like babies when they aren’t given the attention they want.
If only the media would cover this fairly even more Americans would see the progress.
Your last sentence explains why we have reason to fear the results of the midterms.
Yes. Messaging is quite tough with a captured press. Breaking through to folks will take more creativity and persistence.
The captured press is left behind ... (maybe that's wishful thinking)... I meant they're not necessary ... they may be saying a few true things now (I don't know), but they lost their integrity, or never had any.
There's an abundance of thoughtful, curious, honest coverage, that's not captured at all.
(I'm not disagreeing that the press is captured. Just saying it's much deeper than that .. )

Get out and the fight the good figt my friend----re the midterms and beyond.
I am! One of the reasons why I participate on substack, X and elsewhere.
And we should all try to bring like minded folks with us to vote.
The alternative is NOT just milquetoast Dems of decades ago, but full blown Maxist/Leftist/Communists like Hassan Piker, Mamdani etc.
Absolutely spot on.
That sentence, and the effects of social media, explain pretty much all our woes.
I do agree with this ~ "Charlie Kirk is turning in his grave and simultaneously praying for these folks to have a literal “Come to Jesus” moment."
But I think Charlie would like them to see things like this, an IDF soldier chopping a statue of Christ, and to see what Tucker sees in the disrespect to God and humanity that threatening an entire civilization with destruction on Easter is (Not everyone in Iran had read Art of the Deal and knew he was bluffing, and bringing threats like that into war is damaging even if not carried out. On Easter 2 years ago, conservatives freaked out because "Biden" mentioned that the same Day of the Month was Also Transgender Day of Visibility (yes, ugh, but .. double standards..)
Charlie was done with Isreal at the end of his life.
It's not just podcasters, there are former military, and people who see big picture stuff, who have good track records, who got COVID right (and some who didn't get COVID right, but didn't dwell there, because they were busy being deep in understanding other parts of the world from Talking to the people in those parts of the world. Not just talking about them, talking to them.)
They're talking to podcasters, but it's much more than podcasters giving their thoughts on the war ...

Interview here with Iranian, good, intelligent, solutions-focused conversation. And also an awesome AI Lego video from a media company of Gen Z'ers in Iran, not made by the gov't (they were making videos critical of the gov't before the war) .. This one's a message to the west, and it rings very true. (It's well said, but nothing about it is new, it rings true because it is .. )

Bot
I don't think she is a bot, just someone giving too much credence to propaganda.
Nonsense. For every 30 videos showing Kirk supporting Israel, you can't produce even one showing he no longer supported Israel. Just BS alleged "texts" that he was disappointed at how Israel was bad at propaganda to contradict the crap alleged against it.
Love VDH one of the saner voices out there right now glad to see he looks like he is recovering from his recent health issues
Well done. He is terrific. No one could have taken over the mantle of Rush and VDH is the first to admit it. Interesting that Hanson and Rush texted about every day during the last year or so of Limbaugh's life.
I didn’t know that, thanks Paul for sharing the info.
No worries. I've heard Hanson talk about it only a time or two during his podcasts and, then, matter-of-factly. Not "Hey, hey look at me. I talked with Rush." Carlson could have learned a lesson or two in humility and greatness from both men.
That will be the day that Tucker shows us his humility. I’m done with him and his ilk.
VDH is the best! After Sasha.
Walter Russell Mead is also excellent.
You are right, Sasha.
I also love Dr. Hanson. He's incredibly knowledgeable and deep, yet accessible. Lately, I am also listening to Glen Beck regularly, and Ben Shapiro. They seem to be sane voices in our clamoring world.
That seems to be a pretty fair quartet to follow current events with: Hanson, Stone, Shapiro and Beck. Kind of a 'murderer's row'* of sanity in these nutty, historic times.
*With apologies to the '27 Yankees!
I would throw in Mark Levin, Walter Russell Mead, and Laura Loomer.
I have heard Mr. Levin over the years and a bit from Ms. Loomer, but know nothing about Mr. Mead. I will have to check him out. Thanks for the info!
Cam Higby is also very good.
👍🏻
It takes a large amount of hubris to think that you, and you alone, convinced people to vote for Trump. As if people were waiting with baited breath to find out who Tucker wanted them to vote for! The apology drips with narcissism and is totally on brand. Save your apology, Tucker. You’re not THAT important.
You nailed it. Tucker went south when he started believing in his own impact and importance. Nemesis keeps its own set of books.
It’s really too bad because he has made some salient points over the years. I stopped listening to him quite awhile ago and when a friend forwarded his interview with the “whistleblower” Tony Aguilar about IDF and humanitarian aid “atrocities” in Gaza, I watched it but sensed something was off. He didn’t ever question Aguilar’s info and didn’t press him to provide proof of his accusations. Eventually, Aguilar was outed as nothing more than a liar and disgruntled employee who had an axe to grind (I kinda picked up something along those lines during the interview but couldn’t quite put my finger on it). Now I know why Tucker didn’t push back at all — he WANTED to believe what Aguilar said about the IDF and his subsequent comments about Israel bear that out.
I suspect he’s always harbored these feelings but now senses he has allies in his beliefs. He’s also harboring the delusion that somehow HE influenced people to vote unknowingly for a “Jew lover”. The fact that Trump supports Israel has never been a secret — anyone paying attention knew that. Tucker just felt comfortable enough in the current environment to out himself as an anti-Semite while laughing (ugh, that giggle!) at anyone who called him that. Just own it, Tucker. I’d have slightly more respect for you if you did.
PS: Re: Tony Aguilar — I pegged him as a douchebag self-promoter the minute I noticed him wearing his Purple Heart pin on civilian clothing.
Glad I missed the Aguilar stuff. The Purple Heart display -- ugh! For me, Tucker 's disintegration started pretty early in his new podcasts, preceding, even, his Israeli, general Middle Eastern and Trump rants. There was something about Carlson on his own that was just off. I guess he needed the Fox leash of producers to keep what I will call his "effervescence" in check more than anyone knew. It must have been a real shock for him to be -- more or less -- publicly canned. People deal with that level of adversity differently. When he was "on" back in the day, Carlson was often brilliant, sometimes approaching wise. Not any more. Very sad.
There were a handful of interesting interviews in Tuckers earlier podcast days. His manipulative, weird way of speaking started to get to me though. Also when he began some of his podcasts with 15 minutes or so of priming you what to think about the coming interview. He did that with the Huckabee interview. The last one I watched.
Tucker told the story of being attacked by a demon in his bed and woke up with bloody scratches on his body recently in the last 2 years. Really. Not out of context, you can find his words on the internet. He quotes scripture like the warden in the movie SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. Weird. I was taught religion and the creator is a private thing and not to be Elmer Gantry, of the movie Elmer Gantry.
I’d forgotten about that story. Of course the devil saw him as a threat because he’s such a good and influential Christian 🙄
Tucker has issues, agreed. But there’s a lot of space between keeping faith strictly private and Elmer Gantry. To the extent you find the Bible relevant, you might look there for the notion of keeping one’s faith private. Let us know.
So all these people/ Podcasters saying they were “Misled” and “Regret and want to apologize” for voting for Trump. They think the alternative is to vote for Democrats? They think this is the answer to the problems facing the country and the world is put Democrats in charge. If so they are not really conservatives they have sold out to the Progressives and figure they will get their rewards down the line from the Obama cartel
How anyone can possibly believe Kackles would have been a better choice is beyond me. 4 years of Puddingbrain followed by 4 years of WordSalad would have been the end of us!
Puddingbrains, lol!
I was being nice!
The two of them mixed together gives me indigestion!
Exactly. They’re fucking idiots
My biggest fear has been that people tend to have short memories in politics. I haven't forgotten the misery and harm caused by the Biden administration. Geez, people were losing their jobs for using wrong pronouns. Navy Seals were fired for refusing the vax. And that doesnt even include the catastrophe at the border, and the Aghanistan exit. It was awful.
American people have the attention span of a moth
Thanks, screen time and an overall public education system worth about as much, as a pitcher of warm spit will do that.
I suspect that many people voted for Trump out of frustration with the Dems more than support for Trump. Those people will be, and have been, easily swayed against him. As a former leftie, I understand this impulse. Even after I decided I couldn't vote for Dems anymore (shortly after Obama got elected the first time), I still voted for very liberal candidates. It took me until Covid to really see that the left was for the most part not something I could support anymore. Not voting for Kamala is not an indication that someone is no longer going to vote for progressive leftists, in other words. Sad but true, and of course people like Tucker make it easier for such people to feel they made a mistake voting for Trump. I still have hopes for the midterms though, and I plan to vote straight Republican, even though I'm not a Republican and never will be because I still don't see a ton of difference between the two parties once they actually get into office. But I DO see that the leftists have no policies ideas that promote freedom for all Americans, so I can never vote for them again.
Tucker has been off the rails for some time now. Tucker, Candace, Megyn, all are not worth listening to their insane rants and Jooz hate. Narcissists like them are in their prime with the bias media pushing them along. I tend to ignore them because I don’t want or need their opinions to spoil my day. Victor Davis Hanson is always spot on with his comments on any subject. Definitely a voice to listen to and gain perspective.
If you think Tucker, Candace, or Megyn hate Jews, you're not hearing them, you're hearing what you want to hear.
Not denying some people out there conflate the atrocities of the psychopathic state of Isreal with Jewish people in general, but not those three. Mentioning that a high proportion of a certain population is Jewish doesn't mean one hates Jews. Mentioning if a high percentage of a certain population if gay doesn't mean one hates gays.
I don’t listen to their rants, but the little I’ve seen was enough.
It’s so helpful to listen to them in context. Particularly, Megyn Kelly who is absolutely not antisemitic or a Trump hater. She just doesn’t agree with the war in Iran. According to polls, 70% plus of Americans are against the war. She can have opinion without being labeled antisemitic.
The poll showing 70% against is not trustworthy. I wonder who they polled.
The little I’ve heard, she’s wrong and so annoying as she gets riled up. The Iran conflict will end up being a major change for ME improving relationships with many Arab countries who are solidly behind this and give total support. Presidents gave complained for almost 5 decades. We now have a President and an administration willing to take it on.
Why would I regret voting for Trump?
As of Kamala was better?
This country was on a downward spiral with Biden. Kamala would have continued it or made it worse.
Nah, so don’t regret it. TDS is a serious disease.
Thank you Sasha. Tucker will have to try to do a podcast about washing toilets if he continues with his deplorable saga.
Like him or not, agree with his every word or not, Tucker Carlson is one of the most successful and relevant journalists on the planet and he will continue to be.
Washing toilets? GMAB. That's ridiculous. Is that some kinda stupid smear campaign? Get over it.
Cut the oxycodone!!!!! You need to br put in a mental asylum!!!!! You are an absolute incompetent and your answers are the things that had to be flushed down the toilet!!!’ Stop being a retarded jerk!!!!
go home, tucker!!
I'm shocked by it. That may be because I am seventy four and grew up in the shadow of the war. I don't remember when I learned about The Holocaust, probably in 1960, when Eichmann was caught.
Most of the America I remember was an America in which an expression of anti Semitism would be the occasion for an ostracization. For what it's worth I do not believe these are a mass hysteria. Something spiritual is going on, and it's very dark.
Very dark, indeed. I feel it. Like a good vs evil fight and the good is slipping away.
Do you remember the passage in chapter 10 of Daniel when Gabriel visits Daniel and apologizes to him (Daniel) for being late to arrive? Gabriel says he was held up fighting by the “Prince of Persia” (Satan) until Archangel Michael came alongside and helped him:
12 “Don’t be afraid, Daniel,” he said to me, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers.
13 “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia.”
That’s kind of where I feel where we are in the narrative. You are absolutely correct. This is a battle of good and evil but we are not alone.
Look into Laura Loomer, and Paula White ... speaking of dark ....
Loomer brings in the "receipts." tucker whould sh*t his pants in a face to face debate with Loomer.
Loomer brings art projects, exaggerations, and lies. If you really believe that, can you be curious enough to see 14 minutes, or even two minutes if you skip to 48:46 ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaWtDuoY_ns&t=2201s
Loomer accused Candace's husband of driving drunk with a firearm. She had "receipts" - Candace's insurance paid $6,987 for a fender bender in a parking lot, nothing to do with driving drunk or a firearm.
I would LOVE(!!) to see Loomer face to face with Tucker.
He would surely ask her how she could claim certainty of who God hates. Maybe(?) he would offer her an exorcism, she surely needs it.

Laura Loomer
@LauraLoomer
"God hates you
@RealCandaceO
It’s why he gave Charlie to Erika and why you didn’t even get to say goodbye to him.
God hates you. Look in the mirror and internalize how much God hates you.
We all hate you. Humanity hates you. And you are irredeemable."
~~
Are you sure you want to be on the side of that? ...
Interesting comment with some of the bold and outrageous comments made by Loomer which make her bi-weekly podcasts informative and interesting to watch. Agree she makes bold claims, edgy, but she is consistent in her conservative, pro Trump, MAGA beliefs. I could fill a room with all the nonsense spewed by tucker carlson, his flip floppping, outrageous lies, clown faux expert guests, platforming of Jew haters and history revisionists.
Loomer has much courage and draws hateful rhetoric based on her consistent support of Trump, her refusal to capitulate to Jew haters, and edgy take on important issues. Agree she talks obsessively about candace owens, with whom she is engaged in an ugly catfight which becomes dark, dirty, and laughable as Loomer devoted an entire 2 hour podcast to lambasting owens.
As for her expression, "G-d hates you," clearly not a statement of fact, but an emotional expression of her disdain for candace owens, who is a despicable person who spews hate and lies and has grown wealthy doing so.
i definitely agree we are in a time of spiritual warfare! i think carlson preyed upon that with his story of being attacked by demons
Correct, Sasha, that the extremes of the left and the right are converging over Israel, and where it goes from there - we shall see.
I stopped listening to these podcasters a while ago, and I advise others to do the same. There is nothing optimistic or uplifting about their message and I want no part of it.
Today, I heard a recent clip of Candace Owens stating that ‘Trump has gone full Jew,’ over him saying that the Macrons are suing her. She specified that it was ‘Jew’ to file lawsuits. Now please tell me that Candace is not antisemitic. Megyn and Tucker, tell us again how Candace is not an antisemite. Keep defending your precious princess.
Owens is clearly a psychopath.
Victor Davis Hanson is a treasure. Pray for him, he hasn't been well.
The thing is VDH is a scholar, not a media hog. He will stand on principles and history and will always analyze from that perspective. He's not interested in $$$.
Sadly, I've been adding the names of those who used to be regulars on MK's pod: VDH, The Fifth Column, Dave Rubin, Eric/Don Jr., Ben Shapiro, Batya Unger-Sargon, Walter Kirn, Buck Sexton, and even you Sasha! What a difference six months, a new Sirius channel and a tour will do to an ego like MK's! Really pathetic!
Megyn Kelly is classically self-indulgent / self-important. This is the mark of someone who will stomp on other people if she thinks it can make her more popular. Podcasting gives these egotists the platform they need to prop themselves up and make some pretty good coin in the process
🎯
Pretty fair list of regulars you have composed! It has been said that one is known by the company they keep. In Kelly's case, it appears by the company they lost (or let go of). Good job Megyn. Sheesh!
I'll add that Megyn Kelly announced her new podcast adventure on Ben Shaprio's podcast only to disown him four years later over "Israel".
What a grifter! I listened to her from day 1 and even saw her on tour in GA last November. The chameleon was changing then!
Very wise of you, Stone, to follow Victor Davis Hanson
No interest in Tucker and his apologia tour. He is not worth it.
VDH and Matt Walsh are the last two sane men on this planet. And of course Tucker should interview Hasan Piker. That's a perfect fit
I continue to be puzzled as to where the right wing antisemitism came from. For my whole adult life it was the Left. Going back to Jesse Jackson and Jimmy Carter if not Harry Truman. The media spinning is of course the Left. Perhaps it was always there but underground. I don't think so but it is possible. FTC
FDR too. Turned his back on Jewish refugees and denied them entrance into the country as asylum seekers during the early stages of WW2 when they could still get out of Europe
Richard, I think antisemitism was always there, on both sides of political spectrum, underground or not. It is more in our faces now as it is no longer shameful and has become mainstream.
I am looking at our choices, and they are truly dismal: Marxist antisemites on the left or conspiracy theorists antisemites on the right.
I just didn't hear it from the Right either on line or in meat space until recently. Might be generational. Part of the Republican coalition was evangilcals which have been philo-Semitic since Cromwell or longer so perhaps the new conservatives aren't that. They still influence Trump bigly which creates some safety for now.
Evangelicals may be the last group standing. And Trump will be gone in three years.
It’s truly bizarre to witness. It’s mind blowing. Definitely the beginning of end times. The Bible states that all nations will turn against Israel, yet he also brings back his remnant.
I hate to say this but I saw it early on when Tucker interviewed a vile Holocaust denier. He hid it pretty well for a long time. You know what, I'm not Jewish, or even half Jewish like Sasha, but fuck Jew haters to hell along with all other bigots.
Of course the leftist media won't tell the truth. The truth is too painful to face when their hate for Trump is so obsessive.
As for the Jewish hatred, for me, that does it. I won't listen to anyone who's coming from that angle.
