Tucker Carlson: "I never mention @benshapiro because I don't think about him very often."
CUT TO ALL THE TIMES Tucker Carlson has mentioned Ben Shapiro on his show:
Tucker Carlson attacks Bari Weiss and the Free Press over a video defending Flock cameras.
He reads the headline and the description but announces that he won't play the actual video..
He denounces the video—which he won't show his audience—as "literally Soviet propaganda," "obviously disgusting," "anti-American," and "totalitarian."
"Not that surprising coming from the neocon oracle known as the Free Press."
Carlson makes no further effort to engage with the video's content and, instead, moves on to talking about Iran.
Some of these are sadly just lazily educated or misled college kids who get enthusiastically encouraged to publicly speak and not to privately research. They also have supporters who scorn when people make negative comments about what they publicly say, but never themselves comment on how they privately research. So it’s not a genuine care for truth, it’s a defense mechanism for their blind allegiance to a person or an ideology they agree with. Perverse incentives all the way down.

Thomas Massie said in November of 2025 that there were 1,000 victims of Epstein and that he would read the names of the perpetrators if the names of those men weren't released.
Seems he lost all desire to get "justice for the victims" after he lost his election.
The Massie/Khanna Epstein grift was despicable and even their supporters should be able to admit it by now.
🚨 JUST IN: Nick Shirley drops this line after Rep. Thomas Massie publicly attacks him
"All you do is complain and whine on 𝕏 while your job is to actually work for us. I’ve exposed and saved America billions. What have you done?"
Massie will be out of Congress on January 3.
Candace Owens claimed nobody was blaming Israel for Charlie Kirk's assassination until Netanyahu randomly "went on a tour" denying it.
There's a problem:
None of this is true.
New video 👇
Imagine if Ben Shapiro:
• Confessed that he killed Charlie Kirk
• Left his rifle near the crime scene
• DNA was on the rifle
• DNA on screwdriver on the roof
• His car was spotted on campus
• Turned himself into the police
• Ben’s lawyers said he hit the target
• Ben’s wife (“partner”) said Ben did it.
Imagine if ALL of that evidence (and more) was stacked against Ben Shapiro …
Would Candace says:
“Nope! Ben Shapiro is innocent. There is 0% chance he killed Charlie.”
Because that’s what she is doing with Tyler Robinson.
Why does he need his audience to believe this? Nobody calls a man who invaded two neighbors, annexed Crimea, leveled Grozny and Mariupol, and had Navalny die in an Arctic prison a “moderate” by accident. That word is chosen. “Moderate” means reasonable, and reasonable people get accommodated instead of stopped.
It’s beyond me how conservatives still tie a leash around their neck and bark to the world their admiration of Tucker. It’s foolish and shows lazy political involvement.
So to be clear, the purpose is to move his audience from opposing Putin to accepting him, without ever asking them to admit that’s what happened. First it’s “he’s misunderstood.” Then “we provoked him.” Then “why are we even involved.” Each step feels like independent thinking. Together they’re the Kremlin’s foreign policy goals adopted by an American audience that thinks it reached them on its own. That’s the con. He’s not informing you, he’s moving you.

If you’re a TPUSA supporter who calls yourself a Tucker fan, here is the guest list you’re endorsing. Not opinions. His own show, with dates.
1. Sept 2024: Darryl Cooper tells Tucker that Churchill was “the chief villain of World War II” and frames millions of camp deaths as a logistics problem. Tucker’s pushback? He introduced Cooper as the most honest historian in America.
2. Jeffrey Sachs, four separate episodes since May 2024. A lifelong progressive economist and UN sustainable development chief whose titanic work is the theory that America provoked the Ukraine war, America blew up Nord Stream, and COVID may have come out of a US lab. Tucker’s pushback? He promoted the episode on X as the smartest assessment of the Ukraine war “ever caught on tape.” A ‘conservative’ host platforming a leftist to blame America for a war Russia started, and calling it the smartest thing he’s ever heard.
3. Jan and Feb 2026: Ian Carroll, twice in five weeks. A man who has claimed a Jewish mafia runs America, that Epstein was a Mossad operation, and that 9/11 was a secret Jewish plot against America. Two invites.
4. March 2026: Col. Douglas Macgregor claims Zionist billionaires control the US economy and political system. No challenge.
5. Peter Brimelow, founder of the white nationalist site VDARE, presented as a legitimate voice.
6. A nearly three hour episode with Cooper on Epstein that ends up relitigating Pizzagate, a theory so dead that even most conspiracy people abandoned it in 2017.
7. Dec 2025: Tucker goes on Theo Von and calls Candace’s Egyptian plane theory “factually true,” the same week Charlie’s widow went on Fox describing death threats against her team and begging for it to stop.
8. Then he plays neutral, saying he loves both Candace and Erika and won’t criticize anyone searching for truth. One is a grieving widow. The other admitted on camera Aug 14 that she has no direct evidence for any of it. He frames them as two reasonable sides.
9. Alex Jones, repeatedly. A man courts ordered to pay roughly $1.5 billion for lying about murdered children. Tucker treats him as a credible source.
It’s the same non-organic, repetitive, low-IQ-hypnotizing play every time. Tucker never says the crazy thing himself. He books someone who will, nods, calls them honest, and keeps his deniability. That is a laundering operation for ideas that cannot survive daylight under their own names.
It takes a lazily-educated person to fall for it, or a person educated in lying to defend it. Or, a little of both.

It’s seeming like ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ only worked for conservatives when it was liberals feelings we were arguing against.
Nobody argued for a plate of kale. The actual argument was that the $20 burrito was a DoorDash price. The same burrito is about $10 in the restaurant and roughly $3 in ingredients at home. You’re mocking a strawman because the real math is hard to answer.
And the data is worse for your side than the kale bit is funny. Americans spend around 11% of income on food today versus about 17% in the 1960s. Food prices are up about 3% year over year. The free market made food cheaper relative to wages than at any point in recorded history, and the one expensive step in the burrito chain, delivery, is a luxury service people choose. Why are Conservatives complaining about this? How is this mature and fact oriented? It’s in fact wholly emotional and feelings based. Just like leftists.
Grocery prices feeling insane is not the same as grocery prices being insane. One of those is measurable.

Let’s be honest about where this came from. Tucker Carlson openly praised Elizabeth Warren’s economic plan on his own show in 2019 and has said he doesn’t treat market capitalism as anything more than a tool. That is left wing economic populism pushed by a man who took up flannel and duck hunting as a costume. This is a bow tie wearing trust fund kid, a Swanson frozen food heir with a reported 1.9 GPA who couldn't get into an Ivy, got into Trinity because he was dating the headmaster's daughter, and got his first job at a Heritage Foundation journal because his father-in-law made a call. No wonder he is so critical of the meritocratic free-market; he never had any merit himself! The working man act is the least authentic thing on television. But most damning, It’s not conservatism by any definition Buckley, Friedman, or Sowell would recognize.
So if you call yourself a conservative but nod along with that, you’re not following a philosophy. You’re following a personality. That takes zero effort, which is exactly why so many people choose it: fake conservatives.
