Tucker Carlson sat down for an interview with Alex Jones on Tuesday, where he said things that were either incredibly sly or incredibly stupid. Before getting into some of the details, we need to put it into perspective and see what Carlson has become over the last few years since being fired by Fox News and launching his own network.

Tucker has spent almost three years pushing an agenda of anti-Semitism, justifying Iran and Qatar, claiming that Qatar is safer for Christians than Israel (churches are not even allowed in Qatar), and attacking President Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, and America itself. Carlson has given platforms on his show to people who are conspiracy theory nuts, promoters of some of the worst hate in America, and those on the very outside fringe of society, such as white supremacist Nick Fuentes, Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper, and Ian Carroll, who believes that Jews are responsible for every evil in the world from 9/11 on. Carlson has also repeatedly and increasingly demonstrated distinct signs of clinical mental illness during this time, and been disavowed and distanced by President Trump, who has called Tucker a “fool” and a “low IQ person”. (During all of this progression into craziness, Carlson has remained close with JD Vance, who also until recently employed Carlson’s son in Vance's office.) And most recently, Tucker went on a very small podcast to say that he is done with the Republican Party and will never vote Republican again.

As he has sunk into the realm of being a bad propaganda outlet, it has also become clear that Tucker's attitudes havechanged subsequent to his interviews and visits to Iran and Qatar (where he has now bought a home). Laura Loomer has written about Tucker being paid by Qatar, and calls him Tucker Qatarlson, a nickname picked up all over social media. Mark Levin calls him a “desperate man” who leaks and makes up stories; and that is really the best description of the current Tucker Carlson: desperate. Desperate for money, popularity, relevance, and obedience to his Islamic financiers (in addition to potential Qatari money he may currently be receiving; the Tucker Carlson Network was initially funded by an American Muslim), Tucker has become a caricature of himself and has lost credibility in the eyes of all but the most extreme in our society.
