No one really knows why Tucker Carlson featured historian/fabulist Darryl Cooper on his podcast, but one thing is clear: Cooper wasn’t there to talk history. His historical points were all made in order to support present-day political positions. Even his demonization of Winston Churchill served this purpose: it was meant to change people’s minds not so much about World War II, but about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
This first became obvious in Cooper’s wildly tendentious summation of the early years of World War II. He said: “If you go to 1939, when the Germans and the Soviet Union invade Poland, as soon as that war’s wrapped up on the German side, Hitler starts firing off peace proposals to Britain, France, because they had already declared war. He didn’t expect them to declare war, actually. There’s a famous scene where he throws a fit when he finds out that they did do that. And so he doesn’t want to fight France, he doesn’t want to fight Britain.” The poor misunderstood guy! He threw a fit for peace!
And then, in the Fall of 1940, having conquered most of Europe, “Adolf Hitler is firing off radio broadcasts, giving speeches, literally sending planes over to drop leaflets over London and other British cities, trying to get the message to these people that Germany does not want to fight you.” Yet this was not as magnanimous as Cooper would have us believe.
Tucker’s historian doesn’t explain that Hitler’s peace proposals hinged upon the British accepting German hegemony over Europe. They would not and could not do this, as they had been committed since long before Hitler came to power to preventing a single power from dominating Europe. This was a matter of self-preservation, as they saw that a Germany that stretched from Spain to Moscow could easily cross the English Channel and destroy Britain as a free society. Churchill also knew that Hitler had broken the Munich agreement, his pact with the Soviet Union, and other agreements, and thus could not be trusted to keep to the terms of any peace accord.
Darryl Cooper, however, doesn’t just dislike Churchill because he rejected Hitler’s peace overtures. “The reason I resent Churchill so much for it is that he kept this war going when he had no way. He had no way to go back and fight this war.” Obviously he did have a way, as he ultimately won the war and Hitler lost it. Cooper, however, suggests that Churchill kept going at the behest of those who were lining his pockets. Churchill, in Cooper’s telling, was not just a warmonger; he was some kind of nut:
I read about Churchill and he strikes me as a psychopath, but he’s also a sort of — I mean, he was a drunk. He was very childish in strange ways. People would talk about how as an adult, as prime minister, they’d find him in his room and he’s playing with action figures like war toys and army men and stuff, would get mad when people would interrupt him when he was doing this. This is a strange fellow. There’s all those things.
Even worse, Cooper’s drunk manchild Churchill is only interested in taking courses of action that line his pockets:
But then you get into, why was Winston Churchill such a dedicated booster of Zionism from early on in his life? And there’s ideological reasons….But then as time goes on, you read stories about, about Churchill going bankrupt and needing money, getting bailed out by people who shared his interests in terms of Zionism, but also his hostility, I think his hostility, to put it this way, I think his hostility to Germany was real. I don’t think that he necessarily had to be bribed to have that feeling. But I think he was, to an extent, put in place by people, the financiers, by a media complex that wanted to make sure that he was the guy who was representing Britain in that conflict for a reason.
There it is. The Jews put Churchill in power! This echoes Hitler’s own rhetoric. Even as Germany lay in ruins and Hitler was preparing to commit suicide on April 29, 1945, he still blamed the Jews: “If the nations of Europe are once more to be treated only as collections of stocks and shares of these international conspirators in money and finance, then those who carry the real guilt for the murderous struggle, this people will also be held responsible: the Jews!”
Why would Cooper think it important at this late date, over eighty years after World War II began, to dredge up old National Socialist rhetoric about how the Jews were responsible for it? Because of the conflict in Gaza. Cooper makes numerous disparaging references to the “Zionists,” and states that the Israelis are committing genocide in Gaza: “I argue with my Zionist interlocutors about this all the time with regard to the current war in Gaza. Look, man, maybe you, as the Germans, you felt like you had to invade to the east….Maybe you thought you had to do that, but at the end of the day, you launched that war with no plan to care for the millions and millions of civilians and prisoners of war that were going to come under your control, and millions of people died because of that.”
This is false. After studying Israel’s actions in Gaza, British Colonel Richard Kemp has called the IDF “the most moral army in the world.” But in saying this, Cooper makes his point obvious: in his view, the Zionists, just as they did in World War II, are forcing a war upon a reluctant foe and refusing all overtures for peace. Genocide is the result.
Cooper’s lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson is one long advertisement for the ceasefire in Gaza that would be tantamount to Israel surrendering and accepting defeat, and Hamas surviving to murder more Israeli civilians on another day. It’s not Winston Churchill that Cooper really wants you to hate; it’s Benjamin Netanyahu.
Jason P says
Tucker is drifting into antisemitism by having others insinuate. Tucker is not ready to come out as an enemy of Israel, yet, but Spencer has picked it up.
Rob A says
If there’s any truth to this story then Tucker has taken on the persona of a closeted Jew hating Nazi sympathizer.
I have many reservations about Tucker Carlson and the company he keeps but never this. Has he become a wild eyed conspiracy theorist? What’s next: he had coffee and donuts with an ET from Uranus?
Kenny says
Quick point of correction: Churchill became PM in May 1940, just as the Wehrmacht was making short work of the French and British Armies on the European mainland. Churchill could not, and therefore did not, know in 1940 that Germany had broken her pact with the Soviet Union, because that hadn’t happened yet. (Operation Barbarossa was launched on June 22nd 1941.)
And I believe the point that was made in the podcast was that Britain had no way of defeating Germany alone.. This is quite correct.
It had always been the British plan to fight a long war against Germany, with the Soviet Union and the United States as her allies. And this is what happened, as we all know.
The significance of the Soviet contribution to the second world war was acknowledged by Churchill when he delivered a long speech in the House of Commons on 2nd August 1944:
“I must say that in talking about all these various campaigns that are going on at once all over the world, I have left the obvious, essential fact till this point, namely, that it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the German army. In the air and on the oceans we could maintain our place, but there was no force in the world which could have been called into being, except after several more years, that would have been able to maul and break the German army unless it had been subjected to the terrible slaughter and manhandling that has fallen to it through the strength of the Russian Soviet Armies.
I salute Marshal Stalin, the great champion, and I firmly believe that our 20 years’ treaty with Russia will prove to be one of the most lasting and durable factors in preserving the peace and the good order and the progress of Europe.”
Mark Dunn says
These days Tucker Carlson is making a fool of himself.
Barry Spinello says
Tucker Carlson to my mind is so correct, so often. Important, great interviews done no where else. But then he does an interview, like this one – way. way off base – and sides with it somehow. This puzzles me.
Cat says
What the H is wrong with Carlson? I know, it’s that word we are not allowed to say, anti Semitism. How unique and creative Carlson is to hammer Jews! This isn’t his first foray into it either. Cue his Goldie Hawn giggle.
Carlson is very popular and he supports Trump. But I can figure out why he does. They are quite different.
Allan Goldstein says
Carlson supports Trump. It is merely Trump’s daughter and grandkids whom he wants to kill.
C. N. Steele says
Carlson benefits from notoriety. It builds an audience. He pretends to be driven by principle but he changes principles as it suits him. And he pretends he’s just being fair and letting people speak, but he gives people like this Cooper weirdo a pass, as well as tyrants like Putin. He only challenges people when he thinks it will build his brand name. He’s not a good man.
Edward says
Carlson endangers Trump’s campaign, thus endangering the US and Israel.
All he had to do was wait two more months to come out as a Nazi sympathizer and Holocaust trivializer.
Rob A says
Could it be that he is chumming for traffic to his website? It’s a standard internet technique to drive up traffic to a website.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Replace Churchill with Busy Whiskers Castro and Mouse-E-Dung
Luke says
In Rod Stewart’s autobiography he goes on about his enduring obsession with toy trains, What a “strange fellow,” huh?
Mo de Profit says
He is trying to rewrite history. My grandchildren were watching the Minions this weekend and I heard the words “You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette” Was that a warning to the next generation or propaganda?
C. N. Steele says
Yes, it is propaganda *and* a warning.
Allan Goldstein says
That was Stalin’s bon mot, iirc.
Parsnip Weems says
Duranty’s, actually
Allan Goldstein says
I stand corrected
Miranda Rose Smith says
Churchill was a dedicated booster of Zionism? Tell that to the refugees on the “Struma.”
Steve says
Some people also say, “Joe Biden is a staunch defender of Israel” Nonetheless, the subtext behind the attacks on Churchill by Darryl Cooper is the delegitimization of Israel and the renormalization of antisemitism. Just as leftist on campuses with their Che Guevara t shirts, keffiyehs and castrati voices shrill about “Genocide Joe” in a pathetically OBVIOUS effort at Holocaust inversion. It’s never really about Churchill or Biden anyway.
SKA says
On the whole Churchill had the best leadership among the ruling class in Britain. But Zionist.? Before the world wars didn’t he play the chief role in splitting off “Transjordan” from what was supposed to be Mandatory Palestine?
Intrepid says
“Why would Cooper think it important at this late date, over eighty years after World War II began, to dredge up old National Socialist rhetoric about how the Jews were responsible for it?”
On the Revolver comment boards there is a collection of Jew Haters who still think it’s 1945. They all seem to be hatched from the same school of Holocaust denialism, the world is being run by Jews, they Israel haters, and it’s not the Jews they hate it is the Zionists, the current in vogue cover for Jew Hatred.
When I ask these idiots ‘what are they personally willing to do to get rid of all of those Jews’, of course they have no answer, because they are cowards. Their posts are virtually identical which tells me they are all working off of the source material.
Most of these people are probably not the student Hamas supporters….they aren’t smart enough to get into college.
But they probably did graduate from high school. And they haven’t graduated to open Hamas support either. But they truly are the world’s useful idiots.
I used to be a huge Tucker fan when he was on Fox. But if the Jew Hating mentality is filtering up to the Tucker level it might be time to put the kibosh on the rapidly collapsing Tucker phenomenon. And this why why Cooper thinks it’s important to beat an eighty year old dead horse.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Intrepid, if you think Darryl Cooper hates Jews or Israel, then listen to this short podcast he did called “My Response to the Mob.”
I have not detected the slightest anti-semitism in Tucker Carlson or Darryl Cooper. Not yet, anyway. There is something very strange going on.
Hannah says
I just listened to Cooper’s podcast. It took him a half hour to say anything new, but finally he addressed the Holocaust:
He doesn’t deny it, he does other things with it.
“As for the atrocities that took place in the East, I could have been clearer in my interview with Tucker. And I don’t blame people raising an eyebrow…. Far from absolving the Germans, my point… is that Germany still launched an invasion [of East Europe] with no plan for how to feed and care for the millions of people taken under its power. That is murder.”
“Of course Jews were massacred. Peoples of all ethnicities were massacred.”
And while the Holocaust was horrible, he names lots of other wartime atrocities that were “also horrible”.
Later he admits that slaughtering Jews was a Nazi priority before the camps were built and food became scarce. But according to him, it was Britain’s war effort that made Hitler feel “paranoid” and “claustrophobic” about “international Jewry” dictating British war efforts.
Anyway, his end point is that it’s because of the Holocaust “religion” that the Jews of Israel have that Zionism thing.
He’s not aware that more than half of the Zionists in Israel are from the Middle East, and their families never experienced the Holocaust?
He has no idea that Jews all over the world prayed to return to Zion for THOUSANDS of years before the Holocaust?
It’s important to note that Cooper not only has a defective idea of Jewish history, he also denies the validity of Israel’s GOD. He wrote on X:
“No god in any religious tradition is as consistently brutal and bloodthirsty as Yahweh in the Old Testament. That includes the various war gods, and deities of peoples like the Aztecs.”
So never mind whether he’s antisemitic – I think he’s got a bigger spiritual problem.
Mark Dunn says
Tucker Carlson makes a fool of himself.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Cooper believes that the most fruitful studies of World War II are possible now because we are just beginning to be allowed to question the “acceptable” narratives without having our lives ruined. I first heard of Cooper only recently and have now listened to only 2 of his podcasts. The last one is about all the hoopla surrounding the Carlson interview, in which he says he will be releasing in the near future in-depth studies about WW2. I intend to listen to these only because I find well-researched and thoughtful dissident opinion to be very helpful. I try to always read and listen critically. I think I might receive downvotes for this in this forum! When you downvote me, please point out where I might have strayed from charity or reason!
I have never once met an anti-semitic person or heard anti-semitic statements until the last couple of years. I have been judiciously studying these anti-semitic complaints and my love for Israel and her people remains intact – and I KNOW they are imperfect, just as all humanity. When I listened to Cooper’s interview with Tucker, I did not pick up on any anti-semitism there, either. Cooper deeply studied Rene Girard, whose studies in “persecution texts” the world over caused him to write cogently upon the matter. One of Girard’s books, “The Scapegoat” has been added to my reading list. I heard Cooper talking NOT about the Jews, but about humanity’s penchant for scapegoatism.
According to Cooper, scapegoatism is a HUMAN phenomena. It is not limited to the Jews or any other people. This rings true to me. He is viewing the millions of deaths in the holocaust in terms of a wider, very human impulse.
danknight says
No. I don’t know Jack about Cooper. And I don’t care. Call me ignorant and apathetic, but …
I remember hearing all of this Bravo Sierra from many anti-Semites long ago. Usually folks identifying as ‘Losertarian’ or ‘Sovereign Citizen.’
It always goes from reasonable criticism of our banking system and certain Leftist communists … moves on to conspiracies … then theories … then anti-Semitism. And finally Jew-hatred.
These lunatics have a form of reason that seems smooth and beguiling, but they are psychotics or demon possessed. If Cooper has not yet swallowed the anti-Semite pill, he will.
Drop him like a hot potato before you’re infected.
Kynarion Hellenis says
If he hasn’t swallowed the anti-semite pill he will? Drop him like a hot potato before I am “infected”?
I am having a hard time distinguishing this from prejudice. I will be careful to distinguish between good and evil, and cautious because I am fallible.
World War 2 is the defining catastrophe of western civilization. I am reading and studying the related issues, including many texts that are VERY anti-semitic. I want to know WHY all the hatred. Why did it unfold as it did? What are the consequences? What does it mean for the future? Darryl Cooper’s explanation (taken from his studies of Gerard) is the human tendency towards bloodshed and scapegoating. I find this interesting and compelling. It was and is certainly not limited to Jews.
You have every right not to care, just as I have every right to care and be inquisitive. I will never cease to be indebted to the Jews for their role in God’s plan to bring Jesus the Messiah, the Lamb of God, into the world — even if they still mostly reject him (as God foretold in the Tanakh). The Jews are a picture of humanity at its very best and worst. I am grateful to them for their beautiful history, warts and all, which has not yet come to its glorious end. God bless them.
Darryl says
Stating that what is happening in. Gaza, is a genocide after Oct 7 no less, is antisemitic as hell.
Mostly though, what the article reveals about Cooper is a very stupid take on Churchill and on the “pacifism” of Hitler..
AlbertTatlock says
To clarify: The assertion that Winston Churchill knew in 1940 that Germany had broken their pact with the Soviet Union is false. (Operation Barbarossa was not launched until 22nd June 1941.)
Also: The assertion made in Carlson’s podcast appeared to be that Britain had no way of fighting back against the Wehrmacht in 1940 without involving the United States and the Soviet Union. This is actually correct.
The British plan was always to fight a long war against Germany. The British Chiefs of Staff produced a memo in February 1937 (two years before Chamberlain gave his verbal guarantee to Poland) entitled “Planning for a war with Germany.” This laid the British plan out: Fight a long, three stage war by resisting an initial attack by Germany, then using Britain’s economic and industrial base to build up their military resources over time, until finally, an Allied (not British) counterattack could be launched. In this February 1937 memo, it was noted that material assistance from the United States and the intervention of the Soviet Union “would go far towards making the Allied counter-offensive possible.”
On 25th May 1940, the War Cabinet met to discuss a report prepared by the Chiefs of Staff entitled “British Strategy in a Certain Eventuality.” The object of this report was to “investigate the means whereby we could continue to fight single-handed if French resistance were to collapse completely, involving the loss of a substantial proportion of the British Expeditionary Force, and the French government were to make terms with Germany.” The Chiefs of Staff had based their findings on the assumption that the “United States of America is willing to give us full economic and financial support, without which we do not think we could continue the war with any chance of success.” In an appendix to their report, the British Chiefs of Staff again stated that they had assumed that “we could count on the full economic and financial support of the United States of America,” before adding the rather telling phrase: “possibly extending to active participation on our side.”
So Churchill did indeed have “a way” to fight a war against Germany, and it is the way that was mentioned in Carlson’s podcast. Get the United States and the Soviet Union involved, and let them do the heavy lifting. As we now know, this is exactly what happened.
Semaphore says
It has been argued that it was Soviet Russia (Stalin) that actually defeated Germany. After the disasterous campaigns of Lenningrad and Stalingrad, Germany was never the same. What followed was merely finishing the kill.
Alkflaeda says
Hitler should have checked the histories of other would-be world rulers. Napoleon destroyed his chances by trying to take on Russia.
BLSinSC says
That Cooper fellow has an ODD conception of “peace”! Yeah, Hitler didn’t want to fight those other Nations because he probably knew he wouldn’t – couldn’t win! He was banking on idiots like the Cooper to simply SURRENDER and “live in peace”! Sure Churchiill got drunk, but he sobered up the next day. Cooper will NEVER sober up – he’s simply a mentally disturbed leftist making his OWN interpretations of HISTORY! Don’t recall him mentioning Chamberlain as the GREAT Defender of Peace!!
AlbertTatlock says
I think that the scene where AH lost his temper did not happen after Neville Chamberlain (not Churchill) declared war on Germany on 3rd September 1939. I believe the scene being referred to here occurred after Chamberlain gave a verbal guarantee to Poland on 31st March 1939. It’s in all the major biographies – AH had been on his way to Wilhelmshaven to attend the launch of the Tirpitz, and when he heard about the British guarantee, he flew into a rage & (depending on the translation) said that he would cook them up a devil’s brew, etc etc. (The British, that is.)
I think the response of the German leaders when they heard that Chamberlain (not Churchill) was indeed going to declare war on Germany in September 1939 was far more subdued – everyone sat around in silence, and AH and Ribbentrop exchanged a few subdued words – well that’s it then, type of thing. And if I remember rightly, Goering said, we’d better win this thing, or we’re going to be up *&%$ creek.
AlbertTatlock says
You do realise that by censoring comments which clarify some of the basic historical facts about what was happening in 1939, you are making Carlson’s point – you are not allowed to question the myths about WW2 with those pesky, you know, well-documented facts!
I thought better of you guys.
Semaphore says
History has always been written by victors. This doesn’t make it wrong, but it makes the periodic reexamination of the accepted narrative necessary if we wish to stay close to the truth.
danknight says
Five of your comments have been posted here.
How many do you think you should have?
Kynarion Hellenis says
I think Mr. Tatlock may have been referring to comments advocating censorship of opinions in the FPM forum, and not to his own comments.
Kynarion Hellenis says
I could not agree more. I am baffled.
No Name says
Had that problem in the past, specifically with the Glazov Gang. Used to visit regularly, quit several years ago, after several comments were censored.

I salute Marshal Stalin, the great champion, and I firmly believe that our 20 years’ treaty with Russia will prove to be one of the most lasting and durable factors in preserving the peace and the good order and the progress of Europe.
Churchill understood that it had been the Soviets fighting on the Eastern Front that had done in the Wehrmacht. He knew very well – and stated openly – that “Marshal Stalin, the great champion” was the real winner of WW2.
jeremiah says
Actually Stalin was no winner of anything. If you look at the map of Europe and kept a diary of its borders during this period. You will see Stalin as a vicious opportunist who began annexing and stealing countries, carving up the territory of Europe for his communist empire as a result of the weakness of Hitler’s war.
There were two Hitler’s and two communists fighting against each other in WW2. We only defeated one communist imperialist during the war. We should have kept going all the way to Moscow, but President Truman didn’t connect Stalin for being a bad man or understand what socialism actually is. Truman was hoodwinked mainly because he couldn’t conceive of it. He didn’t keep in mind the brutal takeover and annexations of countries by Russia before Germany and Russia went to war. He wimped out.
So we got two of the three feudal imperialists and left one. Like WW1, WW2 never really came to a conclusion.
John van vliet says
Yes looking back, Russia sacrificed between 20 to 25 million soldiers to fight Hitler, a remarkeable sign of courage.
The west did not even close to come halfway of casulties of war, but took the victory and rejected Russia!
Even as to day the West is painting Russia as bad, but they are unwilling to look in the mirror!
Carlson let a marxist/socialist talk freely about a very disturbing issue without facts to back up his arguments and false ideology, Carlson should be more responsible!
Alex Lund says
And the other side is better?
Did you keep your promises?
There is something called the Berlin Declaration of 1945. “Germany continues to exist in the borders of December 31st, 1937.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Declaration_(1945)
“However, the text of the articles of the Declaration maintained, in several places, the continued existence of a German national people and territory, which, for the purpose of the Declaration was taken to be as defined on 31 December 1937 (after the 1935 Saar referendum and before the 1938 Anschluss), subject to the four signatory powers also asserting their authority to determine the future boundaries of Germany. ”
On the other hand we have the UN with its “The expellation and theft of territory is forbidden”.
According to these rules the cities of Stettin, Königsberg, Danzig etc must be returned to Germany.
Are they?
No, in 1989 you broke your word and told the Germans that your word is totally worthless and they would never get those territories back.
sumsrent says
Back in the days… in the late 1800’s an early 1900’s… the Jews were being persecuted… all around the world…
No one wanted Jews living in their neighborhood or country. Jews that made them feel guilty of their sins…
It only made sense to create a National Homeland for the Jews… a place where the Jews could be sent… away from everyone else…
Who, at the time didn’t support getting rid of the Jews from their presence?
The Balfour Declaration was sent out in 1917… declaring a Homeland for the Jews after World War One…
In 1922… at the San Remo Conference… the National Homeland for the Jews was created. Most everyone was glad… the wanted the Jews gone…
Everyone was ecstatic… all… except the satanic worshiping muslims. Since the Homeland was established in a portion of the Ottoman Empire. In their original Homeland… Israel.
The satanic worshiping muslims of the Ottoman Empire lost their lands, by being defeated in WWI. And… these lands were divided up… to what we see today. Sections for the Sunni… and sections for the Shiite… and a sliver of land for the Jews…
A nation was created in a day !!! The Jews had their Homeland back… open to all Jews.
What a miracle…
Intrepid says
Just what we need…..a history lesson from a crazed lunatic.
sumsrent says
A quick lesson on how Israel acquired their territory:
1) The German supporting Ottoman Empire fell during WWI and the territory was divided. British are to manage the area.
2) 1923 Muslims complain… and Israel gave in to cutting their portion down 80%
3) 1947 The Muslims keep pushing and the British get tired of handling the mess and turn it all over to the UN.
4) November 1947 The UN slices Israel up more, leaving Israel but just a sliver of land. (Refer to UN Partition Plan 181)
5) 1948 Israel finally declares Statehood. (Before they lose more land)
6) May 14, 1948 The next day, seven Muslim nations attack Israel
7) Israel conquers most of the territory back except for Gaza Strip (Egypt controlled) and West Bank (Jordan controlled) Golan Heights still belong to Syria.
8) 1956 Egypt provokes Suez Crisis Israel takes Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip.
9)1957 Israel withdrawals from Sinai and Gaza… US promise to use influence on UN.
10) June 5, 1967 Six Day War… Israel retakes Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula and also takes Golan Heights and West Bank.
11) 1973 Yom Kippur War… Israel gives back small portion of Golan Heights used as DMZ.
12) 1982 Israel gives back Sinai Peninsula to Egypt for peace.
13) 2005 Israel withdraws from Gaza Strip
Remember: Up until the six day war of 1967… any country could virtually conquer another country and take hold of the land…
After the Muslim nations lost their territory to Israel in the Six Day War… then the Islamic majority UN passed a resolution prohibiting anything of the sort.

Poetcomic1 says
When Tucker lumped together military aid to Ukraine with military aid to Israel as though they were both on par, I really took a hard look at him. TINY Israel, 8 million Jews in a state the size of New Jersey is the seedbed and homeland of our Judeo-Christian civilization. Money sent to Israel’s military has been a bargain for the U.S. The Israelis die but we get to test modern preemptive warfare, Iron Dome, tank warfare (1973 war) and the whole range of rockets and weapons in actual battlefield conditions. That doesn’t include the highest level of anti-terrorism techniques.
frommer bischkva says
Tucker is going off the rails. He’s also claimed not to have uncovered a single thread of evidence for evolution.
BTW, evolution and belief in God are not mutually exclusive, as Carson evidently believes. He really needs to shut up for the next couple of months. Please limit your interviews to actors and baseball players, Tucker.
danknight says
Evolution is nonsense.
There’s more evidence that Biden won the 2020 election than evidence than evolution.
Evolution is the phlogiston of our time.
That said, yes, Tucker is off the rails.
fsy says
You are right, but only if you define ‘evolution’ precisely as the idea that living organisms came into existence and diversified and developed in a completely undirected process of random mutations and selection. This idea, properly called “Darwinism”, is so silly and baseless that anyone who is not completely brainwashed would reject it.
On the other hand, everyone, even the most staunch ‘creationists’, agrees that some change has occurred over the generations, either a much smaller amount of the sort of thing mentioned above (which really didn’t produce anything new or more complex) or else, Divinely directed change over the course of long eons.
Using words carefully is very important and avoids being misunderstood by those who would love to demonize sane people.
Chris Shugart says
Let’s keep it simple, shall we?
The Adolph Hitler World Tour
Mar 1939 – Germany occupies Czechoslovakia
Sep 1939 – Germany invades Poland
Apr 1940 – Germany invades Denmark and Norway.
May 1940 – Germany invades Belgium and Holland.
And his big finish encore was still waiting in the wings.
Is it only in retrospect that we can see that writing on the wall?
Semaphore says
Could someone correct me if I’m wrong? I’ve read that the invasion of Poland was essentially reclaiming territory ceded to Poland after the defeat of WW1. The ethnicity was predominantly German and for several generations. The Polish government was systematically “replacing” the ethnic German population through military means.
Kenny says
I think you have missed a few events out there . . . namely Neville Chamberlain’s verbal guarantee to Poland on March 31st 1939. The failed attempt by the British government to recruit the Soviets shortly thereafter. The decision to issue a formal guarantee after the Nazi-Soviet Pact was signed. The declaration of war by the British on September 3rd 1939. The invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union on September 17th 1939 (no declaration of war by the Brits there.)
Alkflaeda says
It always amazes me that people can believe that there are Jewish influencers who are covertly managing world affairs, when
1) They didn’t stop the Holocaust;
2) They didn’t get the British Mandate to accept would-be migrants to the then “Palestine” who were literally fleeing for their lives;
3) The land granted to Israel is only about 27% of the San Remo Treaty territory because the rest got sliced off to create Jordan, described at the time as “a homeland for Western Palestinian Arabs”
4) Jordan wasn’t enough because the Western Palestinian Arabs now want more, and the rest of the world is hell-bent on giving it to them.
danknight says
Tucker is off the rails.
But whose fault is that?
We are living in a sewer of lies, and many of us are hopelessly confused.
Remember: Many of YOU gave Demokkkrats the benefit of the doubt for DECADES!
While my nation was raped. My towns were raped. My colleagues and friends were replaced. My family was harmed. Demokkkrats stomped our faces for 50+ years – and no one said a word.
ONE! If just ONE of the horrific crimes against straight, white Americans over the last 50+ years had happened to you …
You would still be screaming for blood!
Now the sewer of lies has poisoned everyone and everything, and it’s come to everyone’s doorstep. Murder, rape, stealing, desecration, humiliation, discrimination, and lies, lies, lies, everywhere.
What do you expect? Normies like Tucker are confused. Lost. And turning to poisons – including anti-Semitism. (and chem-trails, and space aliens, and strange cults)
I suggest taking a deep breath.
Resist Tucker and his ilk with facts, reason, gentleness, and respect. And remember he’s just now figuring out how truly bleeped America really is. He’s been brainwashed by the sewer.
Remember too – we need allies. We can afford to lose a Tucker here or there, but we cannot lose everyone – unless you plan to rely on Yahweh alone. We need to try and prevent folks from going over the edge.

Dialogue from “Casablanca”:
MAJOR STRASSER:: “What is your nationality?”
RICK (Humphrey Bogart): “I’m a drunkard.”
CAPTAIN RENAULT (Claude Rains): “That makes Rick a citizen of the world.”

Still only 55 comments, eh.
You should realise that far from advancing your cause, such conduct on your part only turns people against you. After all, hypocrisy is not an attractive trait And to see you practice censorship in this way after crying to people about other parties trying to shut you down (then asking them for money to support you) well, it doesn’t do your cause any good. (What is your cause again btw?)
And obviously, such conduct makes Carlson’s case.
