Tucker sees conspiratorial Jewish machinations driving U.S. foreign policy.
Tucker has created a chasm, isolating himself from many of his former fans, me included.

That's also why I dislike Tulsi Gabbard - she went from a lefty who made Bernie Sanders look like Ronald Reagan to MAGA conservative almost overnight.
There are sincere people who moved from left to right as a gradual learning process - including Reagan. But anyone who does so almost overnight because the political winds are changing is a fraud.
The issue is that you need to learn how to count and add.
Name calling is not a substitute for crunching numbers.
Huh. Pikers.
If you’re worried about pro-Jewish influences on U.S. policy, you need to talk to Jesus a whole lot more.
He’ll set ya right.
Jesus started as a Jew but converted to Christianity. The tremendous impact he has had on U.S. policy was from his time spent as a Christian.
If they can say..."Here is the reason why I was so misled. These are the things that I got wrong and these are the reasons why I got them wrong." Then I am convinced of their conversion.
The good thing about people like this is that..."there is nobody as zealous as a convert".
If you go back and see my posts from 2003 and my shameful cheerleading for the war in Iraq, it shows why I feel the way I do about Iran.
On the other hand, if they don't have a clear and convincing reason for their change, their character should be suspect. I remember the Republican Senator from Ohio, Rob Portman was very pro-traditional family. Then his son came out as gay and he just said..."I change my mind now." He was obviously saying whatever he thought would earn him more votes at any given time.
You haven’t crunched any numbers. You don’t care about the real numbers. If the Jews are evil, you can blame them and ignore those who often are our REAL enemy. The folks who have invaded the USA. The ones I’ve fought against in other countries.
Money is power.
Those who have lots of it hold power.
Name calling is irrelevant.
Arabs have and are spending VASTLY more money than Israel. And no, Jews do NOT control the world OR Donald J Trump because Jews aren’t all fabulously wealthy.
Name calling, in this case, is just TRUTH.
However, that's the exception. In most cases, thoughtful people become gradually disillusioned from their youthful worldviews as they mature and see the absurd excesses of their former allies.
And furthermore, in the concrete examples that I gave, there was no road to Damascus. Carlson just wanted a bigger or more strident audience, and he could achieve that by carving out a niche rather than being one of many establishment voices, and Tulsi just wanted to keep her political career afloat after running to the Left of Bernie Sanders in 2020 failed.
Trump's own shifts in political positions are interesting, and something of a counterweight. He flirted with the thought of running for President back in 2000, at the time he was basically a Bill Clinton-style liberal (i.e. socially liberal, "moderate" on taxes and regulation). The only issue that distinguished Trump's platform at the time from the liberal establishment was being pro-tariff and thus anti-NAFTA etc. On immigration, he was a liberal, condemning Pat Buchanan and other restrictionists as "racists" and "xenophobes", a pretty far cry from where he is today.
I get the impression that Trump gradually drifted to the right on the immigration issue and others rather than just opportunistically hopping onto a new bandwagon. Or, more cynically, he slowly recognized that the liberal establishment's views were at odds with much of the electorate, who wanted to see illegals deported, and took advantage of the political opening. Regardless of motive, at least he's done something other than talk about deporting more illegals, particularly in his second term.
I somewhat agree with you on Tulsi but not on Tucker.
Tulsi was originally shunned by the left when she refused to support Obama’s actions in Syria. That is where the cracks started. She decided she needed to find a new “team” at that point. She has never fully explained her stances on other domestic, economic, values, etc... I assume that she still has the leftist views of those things.
Tucker changed his stance because he had a “road to Damascus” moment in the 2000’s covering the Iraq war. He HAS spoken openly and convincingly about this conversion. He has always been a conservative but he changed from being the globalist Bush type to the nationalist Trump(v2016) type.
I also disagree that he has done anything significant in terms of deportations his second term. I feel that everything he did do was performative to make it appear more significant than it actually was. Rounding up and deporting ~350k illegals after 10M just flooded in doesn’t seem very significant to me.
In terms of numbers, no. However, the performative aspect creates an environment in which some illegals will feel so unwelcome that they'll "self-deport", and it may discourage future arrivals.
Having said that, there are several things that could be done that would indeed be more effective at actually getting rid of the illegals who are still here. The first is going after businesses that knowingly hire illegals - hefty fines after the second offense, jail time afterwards. The reason we haven't seen that is that Chambers of Commerce have a lot of heft over the GOP at the state and local levels, and CoC's agitate for cheap labor. The second is to make it impossible for illegals to function in America by denying access to any and all social services. Last, the intense ICE enforcement focus shouldn't just be on Blue states like Minnesota. With the exception of California, largest number of illegal immigrants, both in absolute numbers and per capita, isn't Minnesota - it's Texas and Florida.
Vested political interests have prevented these three things from being done effectively, though the second may just be inertia.
Most Republicans opposed Obama's actions in Syria and in Libya. Isn't it funny how when Democrats start pointless wars, it's Republicans who harp on the Constitution and the need for Congressional oversight, whereas when Republicans start wars Democrats start playing the same game of "Constitutionalist" pantomime? It's all about making a spectacle, neither side gives a damn about balance of powers or the Constitution.
