They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA. . . .
.... Alex Jones being a nut job is . . . not really a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention in the past . . . oh, couple decades or so? I suspect you have known this for so long, you can’t even remember if there was ever a time when you didn’t think Jones was crazy. (There apparently was a time when some people saw him as nutty but amusing and harmless; Jones makes a cameo appearance as a street preacher in the 2001 Richard Linklater animated film Waking Life; Linklater said years later that at the time, Jones was just a funny-crazy public-access TV host in Austin, Texas.)
And yet, unlike our president, I suspect you’ve never agreed to appear on his program. If Trump is irked that someone that he deems a “nut job” and “troublemaker” has the profile that he does . . . well, Mr. President, you helped elevate him. (We should also note that many mainstream media programs, convinced that they were rebutting and refuting Jones’s views also ended up unwittingly elevating him along the way.)
The rapid rise of Candace Owens reflected the fact that the conservative movement desperately wants to see more young people, minorities, and women join the movement, and thus many conservatives get extremely excited whenever a young minority woman comes along and appears to be saying the right things. Alas, the warning signs about Owens were there from the start. Way back in 2019, addressing an event in London, she offered an . . . unorthodox interpretation of World War II:
Whenever we say nationalism, the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler. . . . He was a national socialist. But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German.
That is . . . not really the core problem with Hitler. To paraphrase the late and dearly missed Norm Macdonald, I think the worst part was all the genocide, not the “dreams outside of Germany.” Yes, the annexation of other nations was quite bad and makes the list, but I suspect that when going through “the problems with Hitler,” you must work your way down a long list of horrible large-scale crimes against humanity until you get to Hitler’s yearning for linguistic conformity.
You know who concluded, “I’ve studied a lot of history, plus I had family that was there, I don’t think Hitler was a good guy”? Alex Jones.
In the years since, Owens did not get any saner, nor is there much evidence that she’s learned much since her denunciation of Hitler as a globalist. And yet, once again, President Trump agreed to an interview with her and helped elevate her profile.
As for Tucker Carlson, the question “What happened to Carlson?” has been echoing around the right-of-center world for years. Many speculate that what we have seen in recent years reflects the real, probably long-repressed Carlson, unconstrained by cable news television show producers, editors, network lawyers, corporate programming heads, and so on.
There’s no one around to tell Carlson, “Hey, a softball interview with Nick Fuentes isn’t such a good idea,” or “No, the U.S. should not have allied with Hitler during World War II,” or “No, Winston Churchill was not the chief villain during World War II,” nor is the standard of living of Russians better than that of Americans.
...Anyway, Carlson has interviewed Trump many times, both on his Fox News program and at least three times on his post-Fox podcast. Once again, Trump is fuming about a media personality that he helped elevate. Trump even had Carlson speak at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Megyn Kelly . . . eh, I guess I can’t make fun of anyone who’s ever appeared on her program, as I myself appeared a bunch of times, in better, saner days. I don’t know why she’s going on about Mark Levin’s genitalia. I am sure that Levin is quite angry with Kelly, and vice versa. I do not think that Levin would like to have Kelly killed, as she recently asserted.
. ... if President Trump is really that upset that he constantly feels betrayed by individuals who he thought were his allies and friends . . . maybe he needs to be more discerning in who he considers allies and friends.
