I used you really enjoy watching Tucker Carlson’s show, rarely missed an episode.
But over the past 3-6 months he’s simply become unwatchable, at least to me.
He’s angry, hostile, rude, antagonistic, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, oftentimes anti-American and it has made watching his show almost impossible to me.
And all of that’s to say nothing of his obsession with Israel.
Look, I get it and I even agree with Tucker on many things. I think he often asks good questions. I definitely do not agree with everything Benjamin Netanyahu has done or the current nationstate government of Israel.
But the extremes to which Tucker takes everything these days, and the underlying hostility that just drips out against his guests are a huge turnoff and make watching his show very uneasy (at best) and impossible (at worst).
The latest was his interview last night of Kevin O’Leary.
Rarely have I ever seen a host so rude and openly hostile to his guest, but that’s what you got last night in this one.
I’m sure Kevin O’Leary is not some pristine angel, but he sure did handle himself with class and wit and he totally outperformed the rude and pedantic Tucker Carlson.
I’ve been unable to watch his show for months now, but when I saw O’Leary was the guest, I thought finally could tune in and watch this one. Maybe this would finally not be 2 hours full of unyielding hatred of Israel. And we did finally get off the topic of Israel for one show, kind of, but the new hatred it was replaced with was off the charts.
In one interview, Tucker made very clear he wants the U.S. to lose to China in the AI race, he does not agree with or support our representative form of government, he does not believe in our Constitution or think that it is effective, same for the Supreme Court, he does not believe local and state governments should compete against each other to try to win new construction projects in their cities and states….and I could go on and on and on.
It’s clear Tucker does not like living here and does not like anything about the American way of life, but repeatedly asking O’Leary about these concepts which are far outside his control was laughable and quite frankly low class.
It was just one “gotcha” question after another, many of which have nothing to do with O’Leary or data centers or AI at all.
Almost none of the questions were designed to reveal truth or to have an open and honest conversation or even debate, rather they were weaponized with the intensity and animus that even the most hardened prosecutor in a court of law would be impressed with.
And he’s also now devised a new really low-class method of further trashing his guest when they can’t defend themselves….
What he does now is pre-records the interview and then before airing it, he does a segment where it’s just him and he sets up the interview and trashes the guest and tells you how terrible they are and preframes your mind before even watching that the guest is evil.
With friends like these, who needs enemies!
Anyway, watch for yourself if you want. I kind of wish I had opted out.
I don’t know who this new guy is, full of anger and hatred and animus and spite and piss and vinegar, but I sure do miss the old Tucker.
I wish that guy would come back.
This new guy sucks.
