Tucker Carlson claims UK should have LOST Second World War - so Jacob Rees-Mogg sets him straight
The Daily Mail ^ | October 3, 2026 | JAMIE BOYS

Posted on 10/03/2026 1:04:50 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The American presenter Tucker Carlson has claimed Britain would have been better off losing the Second World War to an incredulous Jacob Rees-Mogg – but says he is not a Nazi supporter.

The US commentator was widely mocked after his most recent episode of the Tucker Carlson show, featuring former Tory minister Mr Rees-Mogg, aired last night.

In the online show, Mr Carlson claimed Britain 'destroyed their empire and their country fighting this war that they still pretend was a good idea but it wasn't'.

The former Fox News presenter – who once described Darryl Cooper, a Holocaust denier, as 'the best and most popular historian in the United States' – asked Mr Rees-Mogg if the UK had benefited from fighting the Second World War.

He then asked if Britain was 'a better country than it was' after winning the war.

Mr Rees-Mogg replied that the Second World War represented 'the classic good versus evil' war and said that 'we did the right thing'.

He said Britain was a better country 'to have defeated Hitler' and that 'otherwise we'd be speaking German'.

Mr Carlson then said that there are a 'lot of people' who are unable to speak English in Britain, arguing it would 'at least be nice' to have a 'European language' spoken in the UK if Germany had won the war.

Hello Mr. Dfwgator🙂,

yes, that’s what I read, too. But I don’t think it was the only factor in the decline of the relationship between DC and Tokyo. But it was a factor.

Still, I had thought that Japanese immigration to the US had been reduced drastically after the Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1907.
Yes, but the number of Japanese in the US continued to grow dramatically, because the agreement stipulated that male Japanese immigrants were now allowed to bring their wives. Needless to say, they all had children therafter, sometimes very numerous…

The deluge of third world immigrants, allowed by the political, religious and financial elites, I think will give rise to another Hitler. But this time, after seeing what the political, religious and economic elites have done, I know which side I will be on.

Yes, of course it's silly and pointless to engage in hypotheticals and historical revisionism.

Hitler killed himself and the Nazis were soundly defeated.

But as I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the valiant effort of liberating Europe less and less.

For what was the point of defeating the Nazis only to see new armies of millions of young men invade and not even fire a shot in defense?

It is Carlson’s pathological need for attention and social relevancy — much of which he lost (or squandered, as you prefer) — several years ago that drives his ridiculous statements, ramblings which are occurring at an accelerating frequency.

I can absolutely relate to your words, but I believe we should rather have a political leader in the mold of George Washington or Simón Bolivar. Or Pinochet…

Sure it’s not realistic to dream of a better world- one entirely without Hitler, or if he had been assassinated some time.

But sometimes, I love such dreams 🙂

And it seems to me, that in 1945 and the decades afterwards, everything would become better, and in many ways, they were.

Still, another evil rose: neocommunism aka cultural relativism, the multicultural delusion, the splitting of society by feminism and harming the nuclear family, and the scourge of internationalism. Every bit as totalitarian and ultimately genocidal as its forerunner(s).

One of the other impacts of the two World Wars was the decimation of the male population, which led to the rise of feminization, and also the need to import manpower from the former colonies in Britain and France.

Tucker Carlson basically endorses Abdul El-Sayed for the U.S. Senatepraised El-Sayed for “taking on” AIPAC. Tucker and Saagar Enjeti agreed that El-Sayed is running an “America First” campaign and said they would bet on him to win.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4262726/posts Carlson’s interview on Tuesday with alleged historian Darryl Cooper — like his interview in April with Reverend Munther Isaac, referenced in today’s flashbacks — was so much worse than merely glib or incurious.

Carlson chose to interview Cooper, whom he endorsed as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States” to learn exactly how World War II didn’t happen. According to Cooper — and Carlson nodded along the entire time — Winston Churchill was perhaps “the chief villain of the Second World War” and “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.” It’s true that Hitler did not want or expect Britain to fight. He wanted Britain to acquiesce to German dominance of Europe from the Urals to Gibraltar and subsume the UK to Nazi interests. This is all a matter of historical record. Britain could fight or submit — that was Hitler’s choice, not Churchill’s.

FLASHBACK: Carlson chose to interview Isaac to find out how the Jewish State of Israel treats Christians. Isaac is a priest who neither lives nor works in Israel and who uses the loaded phrase “Occupied Palestine” as his location on his Twitter/X profile. He is a Palestinian Christian from Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem, where Christian ministers serve at the mercy of the Palestinian Authority.

Recently, Carlson has repeatedly taken to praising sharia law and suggesting Islam and its totalitarian legal code offer an inspiring moral clarity in contrast with today’s Western decadence. He has visited virtually seemingly every country in the Arab world, produced propaganda films for a few of them, and even announced his attention to buy a house a Qatar. He has called Hamas not a jihadist but a political organization, said he’d apologize to the family of Osama bin Laden, and has severely downplayed the Americans who have been killed in recent decades by Islamism. And earlier this week, the eponymous Tucker Carlson Network, in a seemingly earnest post better suited for a satirical Babylon Bee headline, offered this cherry on top: “Muslims love Jesus.”
