He's a crackpot." ~ VDH referring to one of Carlson's guests. In a pointed segment on The Chris Salcedo Show, renowned historian and conservative...

Calibrating Antisemitism: Victor Davis Hanson on Tucker Carlson and the New Right! “That’s how I calibrate antisemitism, not by criticism per se of Israel, but criticism ad nauseam of Israel when the same supposed sin applies to other states and they don’t say a word.” ~ Victor Davis Hanson In a recent appearance on The Sean Spicer Show, historian Victor Davis Hanson expressed deep unease about the rising tolerance for overt antisemitism within certain conservative circles, reserving his sharpest criticism for commentator Tucker Carlson and white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Hanson recounted being “horrified” by Fuentes’s unfiltered remarks, particularly on Carlson’s program, where Fuentes attacked JD Vance’s Indian-American wife, claimed Jews “like violence” and that “as long as they think when you rape them you’re not completely serious,” and issued veiled threats that Jews must “stop this or we’re going to get you… you got to get out of this country.” Hanson described the monologue as unlike anything he had ever heard in mainstream conservative discourse. Hanson, who appeared every Monday night on Carlson’s Fox show for seven years and says he owes Carlson “a great debt of gratitude,” nevertheless asked aloud what has changed. He pointed to a pattern: Carlson aggressively ambushed pro-Israel guests such as Senator Ted Cruz in what Hanson called an unfair “ambush” interview, yet gave entirely uncritical platforms to Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Darryl Cooper, all of whom have trafficked in anti-Jewish tropes. “He tried to destroy Ted Cruz,” Hanson noted, “in a way that he tried to empower Nick Fuentes by not using any cross-examination at all,” Hanson stated. The historian argued that Carlson appears sincerely convinced that “the Jewish community has inordinate influence over U.S. foreign policy” and that Israel is “not really an ally,” a fixation that stands in stark contrast to Carlson’s relative silence on American troop commitments in Europe, South Korea, and Japan. Hanson offered a broader metric for identifying antisemitism on the right: “That’s how I calibrate antisemitism, not by criticism per se of Israel, but criticism ad nauseam of Israel when the same supposed sin applies to other states and they don’t say a word.” He cited Turkey’s decades-long occupation of northern Cyprus, Azerbaijan’s recent ethnic cleansing of 100,000 Armenians, and the expulsion of millions of Christians from Middle Eastern countries as examples that provoke no comparable outrage from the same voices. For Hanson, the selective, obsessive focus on Israel and Jews, combined with the mainstreaming of figures like Nick Fuentes, marks a troubling new tolerance for antisemitic rhetoric on the American right.

Victor Davis Hanson on Megyn Kelly’s Sudden Anti-Israel Transformation! The audacity of Kelly to pretend she is the protector of Erka Kirk is just farcical on its face. Kelly does not have "the human inside" she claims to posses. Megyn Kelly said “Israel’s a cancer”—language Pastor Holthaus noted is exactly the same verbiage used by Hitler." Pastor Brandon Holthaus, who leads a prophetic teaching ministry focused on exposing the truth of Bible prophecy, recently interviewed historian and commentator Victor Davis Hanson. Holthaus opened the conversation by expressing his belief that God has raised Hanson up as a voice of reason during these times, noting that Hanson is one of the few prominent figures who has not “went crazy.” Hanson shared his personal knowledge of several well-known conservative voices and his shock at their apparent transformation. He stated that he knew Tucker Carlson very well, having appeared on his show every Monday night and known him for 20 years. He expressed disbelief at what Carlson has become. Hanson also recounted meeting Megyn Kelly in Bakersfield after she called and asked him to appear on her show for no compensation. He described her at the time as “normal.” He further noted having dinner with Candace Owens and her husband, meeting Steve Bannon for dinner at LAX, and encountering Marjorie Taylor Greene when she was a “fanatic Trump supporter.” Holthaus voiced his bewilderment at the antisemitism and hostility toward Israel now displayed by these figures, saying he was “dumbfounded by it.” Victor Davis Hanson agreed and offered an explanation for the changes. He stated, “I think part of the problem was they all got very close to Trump. Very close. They were riding on Air Force One. They were in Mar-a-Lago every weekend. They had they called him up all the time and they felt they were important people. And so when he went in to get rid of the Iranian nuclear thing, they didn’t like it.” Hanson continued: “So they said, ‘How dare you do this? You got to listen to me.’ And he said, ‘I’m not going to listen to you.’ And they got very angry. They said, ‘We’re important people. We have the president’s ear. We tell them what to do.’ And they never realized that a thousand people say that and they’re not that important. And they got very, very angry. It was all about their ego and now it’s about clicks and things that the more outrageous they sound most of them have huge audiences from the Middle East and from Europe because of the antisemitism and pro-Muslim stuff.” Hanson then focused specifically on Megyn Kelly. He recalled appearing on her show regularly, including after the June bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. At that time, he said, Kelly gave “a very eloquent explanation of why this was not contrary to MAGA doctrine, why you had to stop these lunatics from getting the bomb and why we had to protect our allies like Israel.” Holthaus contrasted that earlier stance with Kelly’s later appearance on the Shawn Ryan show, where she reportedly said “Israel’s a cancer”—language he noted is exactly the same verbiage used by Hitler. He observed that such tropes about Israel being “a cancer” are being repeated. While taking the matter very seriously, Hanson said he does not view the radical shift as fully authentic. He pointed out that he had been on her show every three weeks and found the change “too quick, it’s too quick and too sudden.” Hanson further highlighted the contrast by referencing one of Kelly’s earlier speeches, which he described as “one of the most vivid candid criticisms of Islam I’ve ever heard,” and juxtaposed it against her more recent comments.

Dinesh D’Souza Sounds the Alarm on Tucker Carlson “The old Tucker ... would never have described Hamas not as a terrorist group but as a legitimate “political movement." ~ Dinesh D'Souza Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza told Eric Metaxas that Tucker Carlson’s behavior over the past several months reveals “something much larger is going on” and represents a dramatic departure from the commentator he once was. D’Souza pointed to a series of statements that he said the “old Tucker” would never have made: praising Sharia law as having “some good social benefits,” describing Hamas not as a terrorist group but as a legitimate “political movement,” and even coming to the defense of Nicolás Maduro, whom he called “the socialist narco-dictator of Venezuela.” “All of this is so unexpected that something larger is afoot,” D’Souza continued, linking Carlson’s recent controversy surrounding white nationalist Nick Fuentes to the same broader pattern. He argued that non-Jewish conservative Christians like himself and Metaxas pose a particular problem for Carlson’s narrative. “Tucker would love to have it be Tucker and Candace against Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin because then he gets to say, ‘Look, it’s the Jews I’m going up against,’” D’Souza explained. “But we are very awkward for him because we’re Christians. We’ve done a lot of work in history and apologetics. We actually know what we’re talking about. So we’re a great embarrassment to the theological and political absurdities that have been put out by Mr. Tucker Carlson.”

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel.

VDH Pointing At Megyn Kelly Morphing Into A Zombie: “They’ve Lost Their Minds” “It reminds me of all of these movies like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Last of Us or The Walking Dead... you never really know who’s a zombie until they turn." Victor Davis Hanson, the historian and national speaker, addressed the evolving landscape of American attitudes toward Israel and antisemitism in a recent in today's episode of the Victor Davis Hanson In His Own Words, highlighting what he described as a troubling shift across the political spectrum. Hanson argued that while the Democratic Party and elements of the cultural left had long embraced antisemitic tendencies, certain voices on the right were now joining in, leaving staunch support for Israel primarily in the hands of former President Donald Trump and the MAGA base. Hanson traced the roots of the problem to the political left, noting that during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and further intensified by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, “they became anti-semitic.” In contrast, he emphasized, “It was the Republican party that stood up for Israel.”He expressed particular disappointment with figures once aligned with conservative or Republican circles who have recently voiced skepticism toward Israel. Citing Megyn Kelly as an example, Hanson recounted her public reflection: “I think I’ve been mistaken. And I might have been affected too much by people who were pro-Israel. And now I think we’ve been a little bit too hard on Islam and Netanyahu did this and Netanyahu did this.” Hanson grouped her alongside others including Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson. Of Carlson, Hanson observed that the podcaster is “very informed” and “very bright,” yet still questions strong support for Israel despite knowing key historical threats. “He knows that Roth and Johnny said that Israel was a one bomb state. One bomb could kill all the Jews. He knows what Akmanagen Akminad [Ahmadinejad] said he wanted to wipe,” Hanson stated, adding pointedly, “Why would he say it would be helpful if Iran had a bomb?” Hanson noted the absence of forceful pushback within conservative circles. “There’s no party that says, ‘How dare you?’ They’re both in on it, their bases,” he said, referring to growing tolerance for anti-Israel rhetoric on both sides. Hanson contrasted this with the unexpected defenders of Jewish communities amid rising campus harassment and demonization: “The only people now in the United States who will stand up and say, ‘No more. We’re not going to let you demonize a whole people and push them around and rough them up on campus and call them all these names’ is who? It’s Donald Trump and the MAGA base, the irredeemables, the clingers. They’re the people who are still supporting Israel. They still support Jews and evangelicals.” Hanson explicitly rejected other factions as reliable allies. “It is not the Democratic Party. It is not the podcaster right base. It is not the DEI people. It is not the bicoastal leftwing elite teachers unions,” Hanson declared. To illustrate the sudden, widespread nature of the shift, he invoked pop-culture metaphors of infection and transformation. “It reminds me of all of these movies like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Last of Us or The Walking Dead that certain people, you know, get infected and now they’re lost and they’re zombies and the other people, you never really know who’s a zombie until they turn,” he said. “Well, now they’re all turning and they’ve lost their minds.”

Turning Point USA's Precarious Position Amid Tucker Carlson's Nick Fuentes Interview! "I think that in fact Tucker is doing this partly to attack Turning Point, if you ask me what my opinion is about that." Today in an interview with Brannon Howse, cultural critic James Lindsay dissected the mounting tensions surrounding Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and its founder Charlie Kirk, exacerbated by Tucker Carlson's decision to platform far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes. Lindsay, a longtime observer of ideological battles within conservative circles, highlighted how Fuentes has long posed a disruptive force to TPUSA, now amplified by Carlson's high-profile engagement. Lindsay explained that Fuentes has spent "most of a decade" targeting TPUSA and Kirk, operating "parasitically off of Turning Point events to try to grow a following" while creating ongoing problems. He pointed to Fuentes' recent escalations, including "awful things" directed at Kirk's wife, the organization itself, and Kirk personally. Despite this history of antagonism, Carlson chose to interview Fuentes in what Lindsay described as "the most gentle kind of... positive, let's give you a nice profile" manner—far from the "hard-hitting" style Carlson employs with mainstream figures like Ted Cruz. This soft approach, Lindsay noted, stands in stark contrast to Fuentes' entrenched hostility toward TPUSA, rendering the situation "very awkward," especially as Carlson remains a headliner for the group's events. Speculating on Carlson's intentions, Lindsay suggested the interview might be a deliberate jab at TPUSA. "I think that in fact Tucker is doing this partly to attack Turning Point, if you ask me what my opinion is about that," he stated. He further pondered whether Carlson was angling for cancellation to manufacture controversy, posing the question: "Is he trying to get Turning Point to cancel him and therefore create controversy?" This development places TPUSA in a "very tough bind," according to Lindsay, who outlined the organization's limited paths forward. One option is to firmly disinvite Carlson, declaring, as Lindsay advocated, "we draw the line here. This Nick Fuentes thing was too far. He had so much animosity to TPUSA, to Charlie, to everything." Such a move, however, would invite fierce backlash, with Carlson likely retorting, "Well, I'm being censored. Turning Point USA is controlled by Jews or whatever it happens to be," thereby "turn[ing] up the volume on an attack against TPUSA to maximum volume." The alternative, Lindsay warned, is for TPUSA to rally behind Carlson, echoing recent defenses from figures like Andrew Klavan, who tweeted about "all rowing in the same direction." Yet this stance would saddle the organization with Fuentes' toxic associations through a "transitive property," given Carlson's glowing profile of him. Fuentes, laden with "all of his baggage," has waged what he called "groper wars" on TPUSA "repeatedly trying to destroy the organization" and positioning himself as a "direct personal enemy of Charlie and everything he stood for."Ultimately, Lindsay urged TPUSA to seize the moment as a turning point; ironically, of its own making. "I think the right option is to use this as the opportunity to draw the line and say enough is enough," he advised. "I don't know what Tucker's doing. We wish him well. We hope he gets back... in alignment with clear thinking, but we can't have this at our event." Acknowledging the inevitable "viciously attacked" response, Lindsay framed the choice as a necessary stand for integrity amid the conservative movement's fracturing alliances.
