Tucker Carlson’s Dark Turn
National Review ^ | 7/24/2025 | JAMES KIRCHICK

Posted on 07/27/2025 10:17:09 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

He can’t stop talking about the Jews.

-snip-

A survey of Carlson’s programming and rhetoric over the past several years, however, makes abundantly clear that he is indeed very much “obsessed” with Israel and the Jews. Carlson has devoted more time and attention to the Jewish state, which he portrays in a uniformly negative light, than to any other country in the world. He has suggested that Israel and its agents have been behind everything from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the promotion of “white genocide” to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed entrapment of the world’s most powerful men via the trafficking of underage girls. To listen to Carlson’s show is to come away with the impression that Adolf Hitler was misunderstood, that Israel is a country systematically murdering Christians, and that American Jews compose a bloodthirsty fifth column bent on conscripting their Gentile countrymen to fight Israel’s wars.

-snip-

Since Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, Carlson has become even more brazen in questioning the ethics and loyalty of American Jews. “How did Bill Ackman get so rich?” he asked attendees during an hour-long harangue at a Turning Point USA conference in July, before invoking one of the hoariest of antisemitic defamations. “If you’re getting rich by loaning money to people at incredibly high interest rates, that’s something you’re going to have to talk to God about.” (Ackman is an investor, not a banker.) In an agitated appearance on Steve Bannon’s podcast five days before Trump bombed Iran, Carlson rhetorically asked a Jewish-American commentator, “Are you even from here?,” described two Jewish-American media personalities as Israel’s “proxies in the United States,” and raged that Israel “blew up a church in Gaza with my money,” adding, “I’m a Christian, like, no, how about no?”

You overlooked the facts; the United States has had significant national interests in the Middle East, predominately as a result of the United States rising to become a superpower during the period of the world wars. The world wide spread of communism locked down our involvement. It was not that we didn't even miss it when we left but that the United States adapted and adjusted to political and military realities. It argued against giving up Wheelus AFB and then acquiesced and Libya invited the Russians in. Do you have any idea how hard the United States worked to keep Russia out of the Mediterranean (the soft underbelly of Europe) while at the same time stationing hundreds of thousands of military personnel in Europe (which we largely paid for) ? So now you are authorized to write about "Europe, Europe, Europe."

I would say "had" rather than "has". We are an energy exporter now and the Cold War is long since over.

Since you continue to move the goalposts I will grant you Barack Hussein Obama. Of course that negates the "Israel, Israel, Israel" story you told earlier since Obama was also an adversary of Israel. Now you can write about Obama all you want and even sing his praises for ordering the killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.

You think the Israelis - and especially Netanyahu - haven't urged us to take out this regime and then that and to station troops and get involved in the Middle East over and over again? Of course they have. I don't hate them for it. In fact, I'm rather favorably disposed toward Israel unlike most Leftists....but that does not mean I think we ought to be constantly meddling and stationing troops throughout the Middle East.

No, it does not follow. You make assumptions and treat them as facts. Stick to theories about President Obama, and leave Prime Minister Netanyahu to the (aging) leftist Israelis who imagine he is waging war to remain in office.

We were also pulled into and set up for it by the Brits and other members of the Euro globalist overclass. We have been their suckers for over a hundred years now.

The facts suggest otherwise: Russia, China, and North Korea.

The facts are otherwise, staring us in the face. It is these countries that want United States military bases in their countries to protect them from their Muslim brothers.

The countries with the most US troops include Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

That’s why I said that Massachusetts was similar to South Carolina.

“”As to observations about Carlson’s Episcopalian upbringing, I refer to his own comments to the effect that the Anglican church meant to him something much less than muscular Christian faith.

If, repeat if, he had a conversion experience, one would assume some sort of departure from his earlier Episcopalian/Anglican exposure.””

Yes, I understand the speculation part. We are all here speculating and offering our opinions on issues, as well as sharing our insights (not necessarily facts) on current events.

I just watched a Carlson interview of Ana Kasparian (a progressive athiest affiliated with the progressive show, The Young Turks) and as they sat there and bashed Israel, I was forced to come to the conclusion that Carlson can’t possibly be a Christian with his apparent anti-Israel sentiments.

The episode itself was disgusting, as they sat there and called what Israel is doing disgusting. There was no question in their minds that the negative “news” was correct, and that Israel was guilty of deliberately bombing a Christian church. Absolute BS.

My take from it is... the only ephiphany that Tucker may have come to is the one where he officially realizes that he hates Israel and ergo, also hates Jews.... and where he is also, apparently, ignoring God’s word...ie the Bible... when it cautions against going Israel.

It’s bad enough to willfully believe the negative propaganda against Israel. But to use his “show” to push it further is, IMHO, a bridge way too far. Watching the podcast has only cemented my previous thoughts on Carlson. He is not to be trusted. On anything.

They were and still are opposites in almost every way.

The cause of the War was treason. The Confederates were not Abel to get thier way , so they had a sissy fit. If they had stayed in the Union, slavery would have lasted a lot longer. But, fulfilling Callhoun’s demonic dreams were more important.

The only treason to the constitution was by Lincoln. Preserving slavery was not the big concern of the Southern states. Had it been they could have simply accepted the Corwin Amendment which Lincoln pushed through and which he endorsed in his all important inaugural address.

James Kirchick is a gay neocon who despises Trump, as does half of TNR crew, voted for Hilary Clinton and was hoping for a Pete Buttigieg presidency in 2019.

Please continue to post his drivel on FR so we can see who you really are.

The object was a Sputhern Confederacy. We would have had Civil Wars every 20 years, as in the Henrry Turteldove books.

The IS is the most wonderful Nation on Earth
And the Confecerates sought to render it apart, and plunge it into chaos.

It sure as hell wasn't being wonderful to them. They were being economically exploited for the benefit of others - the same thing that caused their fathers and grandfathers to secede from the British Empire.

No we wouldn't have. The CSA was more than happy to trade and have peaceful relations with the US. Have we had wars with Canada every 20 years? After all, the British had more than 13 colonies in North America. Some of them did not want to secede. There's no reason to think relations between the CSA and USA would have necessarily been any worse than those between the US and Canada.

The slave system was unproductive. The North was Capitalistic. The South was a federal system.
