Tucker Carlson hosted 'historian' Darryl Cooper, who went on to claim that the Nazis were simply 'in over their heads.'
Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson used the latest episode of his online talk show to interview a self-proclaimed “historian” who promoted falsehoods about the Holocaust.
The episode of Carlson’s eponymous show on the social network X, formerly Twitter, earned plaudits from the site’s billionaire owner, Elon Musk, who wrote in a since-deleted post that it was “Very interesting. Worth watching.”
In the interview, Darryl Cooper, author of a Substack with around 112,000 subscribers, told Carlson that the Nazis were simply in over their heads.
“In 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners,” he said during the 138-minute conversation. Cooper then suggested that the murder of millions in the camps was an unintended consequence of Hitler’s unpreparedness for war, contradicting documented historical fact that it was the explicit goal of the Nazi regime’s Final Solution and carried out through a vast system of mass murder that included extermination camps, gas chambers, military units dedicated to mass executions and firing squads.
“They went in with no plan for that and they just threw these people into camps. And millions of people ended up dead there,” Cooper told Carlson on the episode, which was posted on Monday.

Dick Cavett and David Susskind and William Buckley and Joe Pine had weirdo guests on their shows too. The midway has freak shows, and brings it in the viewers too.
It is no reflection on Carlson, Cavett, Susskind, Pine, or Buckley.
Where does Tucker find these people? Glad I don’t watch him anymore.
There isn’t any greater enemy of totalitarianism than Tucker Carlson today.
So it’s no surprise the totalitarians are so hot to destroy him.
Someone needs to interview Tucker and ask him if he’s still registered to vote as a Democrat.
I see your anti-Tucker jihad continues apace.
Tucker interviews interesting and diverse people. He lets them say their piece or hang themselves with their own rope.
That doesn’t mean he buys what they are selling or supports their views. More “journalists” should do the same.
Spam, it’s what’s for dinner.
Tell Tucker that Hitler started WW2 and the Holocaust wasn’t an accident. And while you’re at it, ask him if he’s still registered to vote as a Democrat.
What is the purpose of all this chaff?
The real story is this World War I a mistake that gave us World War II. It was unavoidable.
Ask Tucker if he’s still registered to vote as a Democrat.
The reaction to the Tucker/Cooper interview is an intelligence test. Many people failed.
“It says here in this history book that luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?” -Norm MacDonald
Pretty obvious you have never opened a history book. You think they skip over the Fall of Rome or Vietnam?
Amen to that!
“In 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war
How can that be, when Hitler said precisely that’s what he was going to do in “Mein Kampf”?
