There is no rock bottom for Tucker Carlson
“Tucker Carlson ‘DETAINED’ in Israel”? Nope.
This column was first published by The Washington Examiner.
One of the countless terrible things about the podcast manosphere that has infected our eardrums in recent years is the ridiculous pretense that the gaggle of knuckle-draggers who professionally masquerade as, like, really deep thinkers are in any way deserving of our respect as manly men who are manly for saying manly things that no-one else will say, because they’re not manly.
Whether it’s Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, or Amrou Fudl — the Sudanese-American propagandist who goes by Myron Gaines — we’re supposed to pretend this collection of anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-reason mouthpieces are somehow brave for maintaining their grift.
But among this crowd, there is undeniably no-one worse than Tucker Carlson, the man who has spent the last few years endlessly spreading anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-Jewish propaganda on behalf of Russia, Qatar, and the demons whispering into his ear at night, all while claiming that no-one is allowed to even talk about the Jews.

The latest example? “Tucker Carlson ‘DETAINED’ in Israel,” Phillip Nieto’s headline declared for The Daily Mail. “Journalist ‘dragged into interrogation room’ as explosive interview sparks diplomatic firestorm.”
“Conservative podcasting titan Tucker Carlson said he and his staff were detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with Donald Trump’s ambassador to the country,” Nieto dribbled, before detailing Carlson’s account of the oh-so-traumatic events in which his passport was “confiscated,” and his colleague was “hauled” away.
Oh my goodness, how terrible…except it didn’t happen, with the Israeli government, U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and video footage (with Tucker Carlson appearing to even pose for photos with a security guard in a private security area) all debunking perhaps the most ridiculous headline of all time. The detention Carlson “exclusively told the Daily Mail”? It’s called passport control, meaning that every single one of us has been DETAINED at every international border we have ever crossed.
It’s obvious that Carlson planted this story — to a former employee of the outlet he founded, The Daily Caller, no less — to fuel his ongoing fever-dream that Israel is a combination of Voldemort, Thanos, and Judas. And it’s hardly surprising, given he — after arguing that anyone who has any interest in foreign policy is anti-American and doesn’t care about American citizens who die of fentanyl — immediately racked up air miles by flying (private, we must presume) to every country except America, including apparently every Muslim nation on the map, to drool over the same countries whose fundamental policy is “death to America.”
Because what’s more America First than that?!
The brutal reality is that this giggling lunatic with a relentless aversion to wearing socks — seriously, the man never wears socks — has cashed in any remaining shame he had left in exchange for midnight DMs from Vladimir Putin and the slave-owning terror-funding despots who run Qatar. In a normal world, Carlson’s self-flagellating performance at a Russian supermarket alone — where he pretended to not understand exchange rates while sniffing Russian bread like he’d been on a no-gluten diet for 30 years — should have ended his career, but somehow, he still has an audience.
What does that mean? Well, that an audience exists for Tucker Carlson, no matter how much he is willing to humiliate himself to get those juicy anti-Jewish clicks. And frankly, that’s more terrifying than anything he’ll ever put out on his show, including George Stephanopoulos’s sister.
