The truth about Tucker Carlson – and it isn’t pretty
telegraph ^ | Feb 12 | Jessa Crispin

Posted on 02/12/2026 5:44:45 AM PST by RandFan

Who is Tucker Carlson? Even among the modern breed of American far-Right pundits, competing to be the loudest and most extreme voice on an oversaturated digital scene, he stands out as an oddity.

Whatever you think of him, he isn’t predictable. He opposes abortion and immigration; his views on race have included describing Iraqis as “primitive monkeys”. Yet he has repeatedly given airtime to anti-Semitic guests, and seemed to implicate Israel in the murder of Charlie Kirk – hardly normal for even hardline conservatives. Nor is his decrying of the destruction of Gaza.

Watching Carlson, or listening to his ultra-popular podcast The Tucker Carlson Show, you become baffled. He’s clearly capable of independent thought, and has greater room for intellectual manoeuvre than the “yes men” who pop up nightly on Fox News. He is, or was, a capable writer, as proven by his pre-cable-television career in print; and he still has journalistic chops, as you can see from, say, his vigorous interrogations of the likes of Ted Cruz.

Someone really big with the power to back it up is threatening the families of those who tell the truth. THAT has to be the reason they back off. Or, if they won’t, they kill that person (Charlie Kirk).

It is not who visited Epstein Island, it is who is blackmailing. Exploiting children to blackmail people to achieve your ends is the worse sin.

“How did Bongino go to the FBI and turn about face? What caused that?”

Can’t answer that myself but I don’t view or listen to him anymore.

The author of the book on Tucker that the writer is so fascinated with writes for the New Yorker, a magazine that endorsed Heels Up Harris.

After Dershowitz croaks I expect to see the Epstein case to be back in the headlines.

All those folks terrified of his litigation skills will have been liberated to go public.

I’ve lost respect for Tucker. Just as I look at many pundits on the left as crazed lunatics I regard Tucker and Candice as the opposite sides of the same coin...

My issue with Tucker (and many podcast presenters) is they leave things too open-ended. We see the problems he discusses - but how exactly did they occur? how big are they really? Give us real facts, please.

Yes, the DOJ is corrupted and uncontrollable

certainly, Israel has outsize power over the US Government compared to other governments, whether for good or for ill

Yes, the GOP is rife with aggressive and self-promoting homosexuals

But instead of merely naming the issue and frightening us with all the possible evil effects - can we name names? give clear histories of development of the issue? outline actual structures of organization? Have guests promote policies to fix such problems?

His interviews remind me of the “search for Bigfoot” movies of the 1970s

>>For starters, Jeffrey Epstein’s activities as as Israeli
Mossad agent is a subject of intense speculation.

If you listen to the very long Joe Rogan interview with Mike Benz, you’ll hear it claimed that Epstein was among other things a money launderer for the CIA.

Now, do I think he was doing work for Mossad too? Quite likely. The real question is, how much interlocking is there among the deep staters in CIA / Mossad / MI5.

She’s total dingbat...

“Jessa Crispin (born c. 1978 in Lincoln, Kansas) is a critic, author, feminist, and the editor-in-chief of Bookslut, a litblog and webzine founded in 2002.[1] She has published five books, most recently What is Wrong with Men: Patriarchy, the Crisis of Masculinity, and How (of Course) Michael Douglas Films Explain Everything (2025)”

“In 2018, Crispin married with boyfriend Nicolás Rodríguez Melo, partly in order to sponsor his visa,[13] and interviewed him for her Public Intellectual podcast about the performance of masculinity and femininity.[14] She has criticized married women in the past: “Marriage’s history is about treating women as property, and by being married you’re legitimising that history.”

You have to be kidding. They spend an hour to an hour and a half drilling down into that in detail. His interviews with Ian Carroll and Cenk Uygur are recent examples of that.

Here's a link to a video short of Tucker Carlson exposing Mark Cuban as a hypocrite when it comes to forcing taxpayers to pay for Ukraine.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nxvBR9nO3qQ

Not one Propaganda Media owner or employee would have called Mark Cuban out for such blatant hypocrisy.

“Thus his opposition to us getting into another Middle East war because Israel wants us to is ANTISEMITIC.”

I will just add that that he has been against war for several years. Trump was as well.

Now I have read that the Israeli prime minister is visiting him for the seventh time since the election. Why so many?

Epstein was a money adviser, broker, intermediary, and dealmaker for shady characters and for intelligence agencies around the world. I doubt that any of them fully trusted him.

Tucker claimed Trump was starting WW3 last spring. He was full of crap then and now. Israel did us a HUGE FAVOR by destroying Iran’s defenses so we could achieve a 40 year goal of the USA! But the Jew haters claim “The world is ending!”

the “yes men” who pop up nightly on Fox News.

Here's the dilemma, and the sport's writers who hid Tiger's sexual escapades are well aware of this. If you diss the pols they provide you no inside info, leaks, actual breaking news etc. So they kiss ars to get access. The dilemma is that most pols are disgusting people, and not only deserve to be dissed, but should be outed for their gray area profiteering off their offices. So on one hand, I respect Tucker for covering pols and politics w/o befriending them - although apparently that's not entirely true but he doesn't make a habit of it. On the other hand, he does sometimes wonder off to odd places, but that's OK because he and other journalists should not be directed to cover stories the way management wants and certainly should not be told not to cover stories.

I’d expect you to support him.

I’m not surprised.

I want to know who is doing the blackmailing and who is being blackmailed. I don’t care who was being screwed and who was screwing. The sin is not my concern. I want my country back. I want compromised people out of power. I want to know who is running this espionage. All the people and countries and Banks and NGOs that are running this espionage. I also want to know why the press took so long to care. I want to know any editor, or publisher, or news anchor or opinion writer who was blackmailed. One of our largest problems is that the media is corrupt. They are not just spinning the news, they are propaganda for someone. Who?
