Tuckered Out
Although he was very slow tackling the question of a stolen election in 2020 (who wasn’t in Media), Tucker Carlson finally struck out on his own, being fired from FOX. His podcast is one of the most popular in the world, and he does it from his house. Initially, he was hosting interesting people. I didn’t like his lovefest with Russia, on a visit, he said Moscow was a nicer city than any in America.
As in, Carlson’s home country.
Overtime though, he has outed himself as a real foe of Israel. His parade of guests that accuse Israel of conspiracy stuff, or outright anti-Semites is quite disturbing.
I listened to his conversation this week with Glenn Greenwald. As usual, Carlson had dialed-up several topics. The two spent a few seconds clumsily skewering the fact that Qatar is an evil player in the Middle East. Instead, Carlson and Greenwald attacked Israel, including discussing the USS Liberty incident from the Six Day War, Jeffrey Epstein, and US aid to Israel.
I only mildly knew who Greenwald is, so let me show you a piece from Frontpage Magazine:
“Late in November I wrote an article here at FrontPage entitled, ‘Poster Boy for ‘Islamophobia’ Tries to Join ISIS.’ It was about Saadiq Long, a Muslim from the U.S. who had become a darling of MSNBC, Leftist propagandist Glenn Greenwald and the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for being on the No-Fly List and unable to return to the U.S. He was on the No-Fly List for no reason at all, you see, and so was an illustration of how the U.S. authorities had fallen prey to ‘Islamophobia.’
“But then, as investigative journalist Patrick Poole reported, Long was arrested in Turkey as part of an Islamic State cell. It was on the basis of his piece that I wrote my article. Greenwald, who has for years been an eager ally of the Muslim victimhood industry, and has unapologetically worked with Hamas-linked CAIR, subsequently published a lengthy piece claiming that Poole’s was a ‘fabrication,’ that there had been no terror raid, and that Long was just in Turkey looking for work. According to Greenwald, it was just another attempt by ‘Islamophobes’ to defame a Muslim because he was a Muslim (and black, of course).”
Wow. I do know who CAIR is. The Muslim Brotherhood front group, for decades set up in a tony section of Washington D.C., is diabolical. Their suits have worked overtime to both embrace and threaten American officials, many of whom are already anti-Semitic.
Back to the Carlson-Greenwald chat. Greenwald, a journalist that has worked for outlets like The Guardian and Salon, is left-wing to the core. As an aside, he was “married” to a man 20 years his junior, and gained custody of two boys.
So Carlson’s smorgasbord of friends ranges from conservatives to…Glenn Greenwald. During their interview, I was also astonished to hear Greenwald wax poetic about how wonderful Russia is. Keep in mind, Russia has historically been anti-Semitic to the core.
You might ask, why continue to listen to Carson? Because I learn what the other side is saying. Carlson and Greenwald also agreed that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are the “two greatest novelists of all time.”
What? While they are undoubtedly icons, why would you say something like that on a planet where Mark Twain once lived and wrote?
I’m all over the map here, but I’m trying to give you an insight into the mind of an anti-Semite. How can a political commentator identified as conservative—Tucker Carlson—be also left-wing?
Carlson constantly warns against the diabolical nature of left-wing/government propaganda, he does the same thing. He might toss in some truth, but it’s part of the worldview stew he cooks up.
His attacks on Israel (he would maniacally giggle by the word “attack”) include his metaphorical claim that Israel has “nuked” Gaza.
It all adds up to a voice in America that is poisoning the Middle East well. When Carlson is friendly to Qatar, but hammers Israel, there’s a problem. I am certain he did not grow up with a biblical view of Israel. That lack has informed what he does now.
Be careful if you listen to Tucker Carlson.
