Tucker Carlson is a raving loon. Not much different than Candace Owens. He’s more of a raving antisemite than she is. So. Not interested in his ravings.

Just Better at it, which makes him more dangerous.

Fran Halen's avatar

You people are funny. Now that the word facsist is falling out of favor bc of misplaced over-use, let's try "dangerous" for people who are simply asking questions.

Steve's avatar

There is Asking Questions AND Asking Questions. If you know what I mean.

Have you stopped beating you wife? That's just a question...Right?

My problem with the word Fascist, is So many people using it have No clue what Fascism Really is. Example The Kataeb Party (Phalangist) in Lebanon is Fascist, Yet in the Civil war were closely allied with Israel.

All Nazis were Fascist,, but not all Fascists were Nazis.

Of late I have come to just say READ A BOOK!

The worst fascists are Soros, the Jews and Isreal. That's just an inarguable fact.

They are not asking questions. They are proselytizing conspiracy. Most of the questions they have answers to, but those answers don’t fit their narrative so they suppress them. The sad part is they’re smart and they have a sheepish following and that actually makes them dangerous.

Operator Dawn's avatar

Asking Questions? Hmm, Ok Why do journalists today bring opinions and not questions?

Mary Sholl's avatar

Not asking questions, darling. Antisemites on the loose. Like you.

Dave Sylvester's avatar

No one is “just asking questions.” People are making statements and characterizing them as “questions” in order to avoid responsibility for what comes out of their mouth. I’m just asking the question: what’s wrong with you?

JacquelineP's avatar

I have lots of issues with Tucker but I watched his whole speech and it was mostly spot on. Certainly some issues I would question if I were in conversation with him but demonizing him is inappropriate and counter productive. I would like him to acknowledge that there IS a difference in what ideologies/groups are killing people vs being killed. To me, that should be part of his “America First” agenda. It’s appropriate to call out anti-Muslim rhetoric but this should be qualified with acknowledging Islamic jihadism and its very real danger for Jews, Christians and others around the world.

David White's avatar

Nothing could be more fully and richly justified than Islamophobia. Establishment of Religion, *by any means necessary*, is a religious obligation. Anywhere they think they have the power to impose Islamic law, they think they have the right impose Islamic law. As Richard (?) Pipes once noted, there is really no such thing as "moderate Islam". There are only gradations of radical Islam.

Mary Sholl's avatar

Oh stop. Idiotic response. Tucker is an antisemite. Always was. Now, he’s paid for it so he can blather on and on. He’s disgusting and you are either a fool or a knave. Doesn’t matter to me. You’re gone.

Hebrides' Eilidh NicDhòmhnaill's avatar

You watched his whole speech. There’s a brave woman.

Fran Halen's avatar

You're delusional and have no evidence of that. Carlson is just asking questions. And yes a critic of our tax dollars supporting the Israel government. That's not anti-semitic.

Steve S's avatar

Lordy, you can't be that naive. tucker is far from America first, though he hypocritically says he is. Listening to his show it becomes obvious he is Russia first, then Iran, then Qatar, then any nation or group which is hostile to Israel.

Walter Stock's avatar

Or in the case of Qatar, pays him handsomely.

Cat C.'s avatar

There's no proof of that.

Operator Dawn's avatar

someone or somebody has bought him

Dan's avatar

He’s always struck me as loony, too. But I will say this: I gave him a fair shot to present his case at the NY event Megyn Kelly put together, and he presented a coherent argument. At least until the end, when the “demon got my back” story came out.

I didn’t agree with everything he said, but he made some fair points and nothing he said remotely came across as antisemitic.

Helen J Vogl's avatar

I don’t believe that at all!

Deb Nance's avatar

Trump called Tucker kookie. But loony works too. Early on he had a subscription special for $6 or so and I signed up for a month, but after a couple weeks I had to stop. He's not my cup of tea.

Operator Dawn's avatar

Agreed,,,? has Tucker ever got an interview with Trump

Deb Nance's avatar

I don't think so.

Steenroid's avatar

A real disappointment to me. I’m sure I’m not alone.

Wow. A day after her meeting with Candace Owens, Erika spoke at TPUSA. She is a strong woman. Grieving while dealing with all the stress.

Bob's avatar

The meeting apparently went well.

Steve S's avatar

Not so well that candace owens was invited to speak.

Bob's avatar

Understandable

Looking forward to listening.

We were there last year. Inspiring, electric, lovely people, great speakers (most of whom had a vibrant witness as Christians, which we found particularly heartening)…Charlie was WONDERFUL; we lost so much when he was murdered.

Enjoy your time there it is a special time.

Corinna B's avatar

this long video was worth watching, especially if you fast forward through some of it. i thought Ben Shapiro was excellent in presenting his position, calm, measured, evidence based and specific, while later on Tucker Carlson seemed intent on a rant , mostly against straw arguments. it would be worth watching them debate each other, but i don't think carlson would chance it.

Texyz's avatar

Haha. "....especially if you fast forward thru some of it."

HEIDI's avatar

BEST speech that ever happened, and kudos to Ben Shapiro for having COURAGE to confront evil which prospers from INVERSION of truth, reality & morality & has become Tucker Carlson's (and others) MO. Tucker is not an arbiter of truth, but a distorter of it. ~

This is kinda like the 80's where converted lefties like Brand are simply exercising common sense again and it is good.

Ben Shapiro continues the argument

Scott Johnson

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/12/ben-shapiro-continues-the-argument.php

A sick thread now runs through the conservative movement. It runs from Candace Owens to Tucker Carlson and Carlson’s friends. One can see one symptom of the sickness in its treatement of the Jews. The sickness should be called out, confronted, and refuted.

Ben Shapiro has an argument to make against the sickness. That’s what he did in the case he made against Tucker Carlson at the Heritage Foundation. There his argument was premised entirely on the stated mission of the Heritage Foundation. He applied the stated principles of Heritage’s mission to Carlson.

Shapiro continued the argument in his appearance at Turning Point USA last night. It comes in a slightly different form here. I have posted the video below.

Evil prospers from INVERSION of truth, reality & morality which has become Tucker Carlson's MO.

He is not an arbiter of truth, but a distorter of it.

Ty to Ben Shapiro for pointing out at Heritage that Tucker Carlson should not be considered right/conservative : 'we must stand up against those who would pervert and twist the conservative movement into a movement without principles, or worse, a movement that promotes the very opposite of the principles that conservatives hold dear.' ~

I wrote t in response to your X post predicting Ben Shapiro’s speech just “saved the Conservative movement:”

Oh dearest Sasha, as a true admirer and paid subscriber to your Substack, I tell you, no.

You have such great insights on all things Hollywood and pop culture, but religious beliefs and basic Constitutional principles? Not so much.

I beg you to listen to your own supporters who accepted you with open arms instead of condemning you. You must see that Ben is doing to many of us what was done to you. Will you be there for us? Or will you condemn those of us who disagree, as Ben Shapiro just demanded?

Granny62's avatar

Demanding we condemn and denounce anyone who expresses certain people who express different views and opinions. It’s so incredibly antithetical to the ethos CK worked so hard to imbue into TPUSA, that it’s just so hard to believe.

Steve's avatar

"You must see that Ben is doing to many of us what was done to you."

And That Would Be?

Libertarian's avatar

Well said, Granny. Ben, Bari and Sasha are in the Israel-Can-Do-No-Wrong. And any and all criticism of Israel, no matter how accurate and truthful, gets you labeled anti-Semite. A technique bound to fail and increase the criticism even more globally.

Cat C.'s avatar

Except that those who are "critics of Israel", have often come to being a critic by believing Hamas and the UN and other USA and Israel haters about the reality in that area of the planet, including Gaza. I'd never, in 20 million years, believe anything Hamas or the UN says.

Operator Dawn's avatar

the world is fast becoming teams of ideology and forced loyalty,,,20th century saw two Planetary wars because of primitive practises

Richard's avatar

Ben and Bari yes but Sasha is pretty balanced. I think you are about the same age as me and I am a creature of 1967. Vietnam was at its peak and I was 19 and nervous. Student deferments and lottery kept me out of it but uncertainty was there. And there was the Soviet Sword of Damocles. Ukraine feels like that to me though we are hemorrhaging money and not blood. Stupid war that is not a core interest. So I oppose any involvement and especially helping the EU/UK start WW3. 1967 was also the year Israel decisively defeated surrounding Arab armies (with American munitions). Took 6 days but it was a poisoned chalice as Israel was stuck with Gaza which had been Egyptian since 1948 and had been turned into a giant refugee camp. Israel tried to give it back in the peace treaty but Egypt wouldn't take it. Israel eventually withdrew unilaterally but Hamas took it over and here we are. Similar with the West Bank. Lots of frantic diplomacy during the 6 Day to keep Jordan out but they had been misled by the Egyptians and wanted part of the spoils but got their ass kicked so Isreal wound up occupying that too and Jordan refused to take it back especially after the PLO tried to overthrow the government. The two state solution is not wanted by the Palestinians. Isreal was reluctantly willing in the past but no more. A lot of descendants of Jews expelled from Arab countries are annexationists at this point. Trump's plan is probably the only possible way out now for Gaza. West Bank is going to dangle until they clean up their act. Isreal is not going to abolish itself.

Libertarian's avatar

Richard, I do not doubt what you wrote is accurate but I am in doubt that it is the complete salient story because at no point do you include any wrong doing on the part of Israel on the 60 year history that you summarize. With regard to me being in the same era as you, that is accurate and helped shape me; 4 of my brothers and I served active duty US military and we’re opposed to US military funding and involvement in Ukraine, Israel and all foreign countries. We’re America First and pretty much Only when it comes to military funding and engagement. Take care and happy holidays, Richard. I’m reminded of “When Will They Ever Learn” by Peter, Paul and Mary.

Richard's avatar

I consider annexation in the West Bank to be wrongdoing and assume you do too. At the same time, I understand the bitterness of the expelled Jews. If there ever is to be some kind of self determination for Palestinians that is where it must be. Gaza, based on geography doesn't have the territory to be a state and should be annexed by Egypt. There was a gigabucks gas deal just signed by Israel and Egypt and Gaza waters are probably somewhere in that mix. West Bank government isn't as militant as Hamas but is massively corrupt. Best bet there is to completely exclude EU/UK from participation (works for Ukraine too) and try to work out some sort of deal between Israel and the Arab states. The Arab states are at least realists. and ought to have more influence on the Palestinians than the US does.

just listen to Ben Shapiro and he is the one who is showing hate and intolerance if you don't parrot his talking points.

Display some sentences spoken by him,,that illustrate Christian Hatred,,Please.

Libertarian's avatar

Exactly, Shapiro hates Catholics especially. Typical Israel-First position.

Susan Vonder Heide's avatar

Shapiro hates Catholics? Then why are some of the top people at the Daily Wire Catholic?

Libertarian's avatar

Daily Wire Ownership are Jews;

“The principal owners and key individuals are:

Ben Shapiro: Co-founder and Editor Emeritus.

Jeremy Boreing: Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (previously co-CEO).

Caleb Robinson: Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Farris Wilks: A billionaire and early-stage investor who provided the initial financial backing for the company's launch in 2015. ”

Susan Vonder Heide's avatar

Two of the top on-air personalities at the Daily Wire are Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, both of whom have their own shows, and there are other Catholics. Doesn't sound very Catholic hating to me.

Libertarian's avatar

Ownership is Jewish and ownership is far more influential than staff.

Susan Vonder Heide's avatar

Not when that staff includes people who large numbers of people listen to every day.

reality speaks's avatar

Why is there so much hate on Tucker Carlson? What did he do to all of you that hate him?

I see lots of comments from people who haven't actually listen to him because all they repeat are the talking points of the Leftists and Neo Cons who do nothing but lie and mislead.

What about his point that we do not believe in collective guilt that you disagree with?

Or his criticism of our political leaders who are not actually putting America First in their decision making what do you disagree with him on this position?

He is also very honest in his journey in Christianity that he is a flawed human being (unlike the rest of you that are obviously sin free) and that he gets things wrong and will freely admit that.

He is against all wars ( I personally think he is being naive here) and the killing of innocents that occur in wars. (he is vocal in his opposition to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan to end World War 2,) At least he is consistent in this view.

Richard's avatar

The Tucker hate is motived by Ukraine more than Isreal. That is what animates the Neocons.

Libertarian's avatar

True that Ukraine animates the Neocons but think it is Israel thst animates the Zionists; and the latter are at least as influential as the former.

Hebrides' Eilidh NicDhòmhnaill's avatar

You really have a hate on for the Jewish part of Israel, so not Jaffa among others, so yeah, anti septic it feels.

Libertarian's avatar

I don’t hate Jews; I hate the well documented genocide and ethnic cleansing that they committed in Gaza in 2025.

Hebrides' Eilidh NicDhòmhnaill's avatar

Anti semetic. What’s up with auto correct these days.

Libertarian's avatar

There is a lot of hate because this is an Israel-First crowd and any criticism of Jews or Israel gets the anti-Semite label and lots of hate, especially against the Catholics. Just the way it is.

Jim I's avatar

Because that hatred fits perfectly into the professional Indoctrination Campaign of Democrats.

Hebrides' Eilidh NicDhòmhnaill's avatar

He said he was visited by a demon one night recently, with his wife sleeping beside him, and said he had claw marks to prove it. You get a sense he’s doing a trump - how outrageous, stupid, silly, delusional, lying can you get away with and with Trump at least, there appears to be no bottom. Candace has hit the bottom it seems by using the death of maga martyr charlie Kirk to get herself in the news. She’s black and George Farmer is said to be worth $180 million. Money talks so she gets to do what she wants. Has she gone nutty or is she trolling for attention?

reality speaks's avatar

And so you don’t believe him? Tucker is very much on a spiritual journey if you listen to him with an open mindset you will see it. Maybe it’s his drug use when he was young or maybe he experienced things that we are not capable of understanding

Hebrides' Eilidh NicDhòmhnaill's avatar

No, I don’t. The only folks I know that spew this sort of nonsense through social media are ones with mental illness or click baiters or both afflictions. I suspect Tucker suffers from and benefits financially from both.
