The Weird World of Tucker Carlson Originals
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2024
- Tucker Carlson Originals are a series of short "documentaries" on the Fox Nation streaming service. The was originally going to just be a look at The End of Men, but I decided it might be more interesting looking at the whole thing, and trying to make sense of it all.
I've done the best job I could to censor out some graphic imagery, so expect a couple of title cards blocking out specific scenes of that. If you want to watch the originals, please be aware that it gets incredibly graphic in certain parts.
00:00 - What is Tucker Carlson Originals and Fox Nation?
2:56 - Fear
7:03 - The People Who Are Afraid
19:46 - The People Who Fight Back
36:06 - The Cops
48:42 - The Elite
56:36 - Kid Rock...And Aliens

This is a small thing-- but, I just wanted to say: I'm a detransitioned woman (FtMtF), and I support the right of people to transition, watch a lot of pro-trans content creators, etc. And I often feel alienated when the topic of detransition is brought up because creators have a tendency to brush it off, saying that the rate of detransition is too low to be worth consideration. So I was so happy when you noted that even though the rate is low, we still have needs that aren't currently met by the medical system, and that supporting resources for detrans people doesn't have to come at the expense of trans peoples' rights. So, thank you for being thoughtful in your commentary on the topic, José.
Are you willing to share why you went back? I understand it might not be something you want to share and that’s ok too
They brush it off because they know the right will us you against them, no matter your actual views, because reactionaries don't understand nuance, and if one person detransitions, then all of them secretly want to.
Did you viralize? Are the hormones too much. Did you take test or anavar
The fact is, much as the right pretend otherwise, their anti trans movement (I’d argue it’s the only movement, there’s no ‘pro trans movement’, just clinging to rights that already exist and wanting to just BE in safety) hurt detransitioners too. You want kids to not learn about trans people? Well guess what, you’re not just hurting trans kids, you’re making it far more likely that someone who isn’t trans, transitions out of confusion. Congratulations
As an FtM I'm really sorry that detransitioners are made to feel that way when your feelings and experiences are important no matter how low the rate is. I never see anyone bring the topic up ever and it's messed up imo
33:40 - HOLD ON, THAT TAPE THING IS JUST A SKETCH FROM FRIENDS!
There is an episode where Chandler tries to stop smoking via subliminal messages while sleeping, and by accident he gets a self-help confidence tape for women that keeps saying stuff like "you're a strong independent woman", and he starts acting more feminine without being able to explain why the next day
They're taking sitcom jokes from the 90's and claiming it as facts in their bizarre conspiracy
i listen to the same playlist every night (the comedy-commentary crowd) so i wonder if that's making me any funnier 💀💀
Holy shit, this is a new later if crazy
I mean, not surprising, the entire q-anon narrative is literally the plot of Resident Evil Survivor
No way in hell nobody on the production team went, “Ok this is getting a bit ridiculous.”
They used it even earlier in the Simpsons. Lisa so afraid her father is going to eat himself into an early grave, buys him a self help tape to stop overeating. However, he instead gets a vocabulary booster which leads to him speaking in word salads no one can understand until he stops using the tape.
The Uvalde section had me floored, what are the chances Tucker would glorify the one police station that would become notorious for being spineless and ineffective in the exact situation they talked about being prepared for?
when i heard the schooI i Iegit say f@ck u
becaus of how incompetent the poIice was
These people clown themselves constantly
You glorify pigs 24/7, you're bound to step in it eventually.
Listening to them defend the police (lack) action on that day is insane.
if this happened from a left news station this would be a major conspiracy theroy
Have to say, replacing the actual footage with just a title card saying "image of dead body" does an amazing job of exposing the manipulation tactic.
T.C.'s literally showing _gore._ "People being hit by cars, ... being murdered"?! And clearly a heck of a lot of it - framed in disingenuous ways, undoubtedly. (And José said as much.) He's right: it's all dishonest, facile, carefully-worded rhetoric backed not with facts but with shocking imagery, dramatic music, and quick editing, all meant to stir up emotions of fear, anger, outrage, and paranoia. And it works on a lot of people.
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens Something I always found annoying in anything US and Documentary related
@@Alexthehrt It's such a disgusting & cheap tactic, not to mention disrespectful & exploitative of the people being harmed in those clips.
Imagine doing that with a Vice documentary...oh, wait..
El Salvador has for decades been the most violent regime in Latin America. Under the American backed dictator hundreds of thousands were killed. The most infamous case being a massacre at a church after a beloved bishop was murdered that killed over 5000 people which was captured on film.
El Salvador didn't become a police state, it never has been anything else. It really is just a question of who mainly commits the violence and under what justification.
No joke: I showed the "End of Men" video to a gay friend of mine who has no idea who Tucker Carlson is, or has any real knowledge of the greater movement he represents.
His reaction was "Is this an ad for a gay survivalist resort?"
I need to meet you, and this friend of yours.
Right??? Its extremely gay
Honestly I'd love watching a gay survivalist resort
It makes sense, there are two things that nearly always ring true about fascists. They persecute homosexuals and are incredibly homoerotic.
Based.
Fellas, is it gay to stare longingly at half-naked bulky sweaty men?
As someone with a family business, when I see the claims of people looting from stores in the flooded areas, all I can think is “those products would already be lost”. You can’t sell food, or any other necessity after the store had lost power for so long, let alone been water damaged.
You'd think for said business owners who "care" about their communities would *think* that but alas having the ability to shoot their neighbors is a better prospect for them...
Right?! I remember one of the last hurricanes that hit my town, a business near the water basically knew they were going to get flooded no matter how many sandbags they put out and went online begging locals to stop buy and help them clear out their food and ice cream for super cheap prices. They wanted it gone vs the hassle of trying to pack it all up and store it safely for who knows how long while they rebuilt after flooding.
Not all businesses would have their stock ruined by floodwaters. You're a baker so yeah, your flour and stuff would be ruined but the business selling bricks would be fine.
@@matt.willoughby I don't think the people taking supplies were hauling construction material
@@matt.willoughby that's also a lie but also whomst? Sir are you agreeing with still shooting people?
"the bro-science behind ball-tanning is, uh, generally that, uh, it feels good, so do it"
I don't think a satirist could have come up with such a line.
That's what bro-science is all about, no long-winded explanations and just getting straight to the point.
A satirist would’ve written something smarter.
@@connorbeith3232 lol or just not explain anything because they don’t actually do science but just state what they feel.
So does masturbating. Wonder if tucker would share that with his ultra conservative audience?
When I read this comment before getting to that part I thought you were paraphrasing. They actually say that. Jesus
Holy shit, the Uvalde drop shocked me. I just wrote a 40 page paper about how the response to the Uvalde shooting is a perfect case study of how police are designed not to protect victims, but to brutalize and enforce laws through force against people of color.
One of the noted problems with the response to Uvalde is that the cops in Uvalde put so much emphasis upon the dangers of illegal immigration, meaning schools were CONSTANTLY under lockdown. As such, they didn’t really know how to respond with haste to an ACTUAL disaster and were numbed to the idea that something bad could actually be happening. Watching Chief Arredondo describe how frequently they shut down the high school in Uvalde just further demonstrates this - these cops spent so much time criminalizing immigrants that they didn’t know how to respond to ACTUAL danger.
It’s like that episode of SpongeBob where he cleans his entire house before getting to his essay, the thing he ACTUALLY needs to do. The police state makes shit like immigration a crime so that they can enforce those laws and seem like they’re doing bc something. Meanwhile, the ACTUAL problem is right behind them sitting on the desk and they pretend it’s not there.
"Anarcho-tyranny" made me roll my eyes so hard, I briefly watched the soles of my feet from the inside.
The whole Uvalde thing is absolutely astonishing after the fact. There are so many levels to it.
I'm so sick of the idea that kids are being forced to be trans and that people encouraging others to be themselves want literally everyone to be trans. I was forced to be cis. I was coerced into believing I was broken if I didn't feel like a woman. I needed to try harder to be happy as I was born. I didn't even KNOW what trans was for the longest time, so I just grew up idealizing that something was horribly wrong with me and I was doomed to be either a broken human being or a perpetually unhappy one. I found happiness in myself by realizing my true gender, as complicated as it can be for me. I wasn't coerced. Honestly, the person I learned about being trans from kinda dismisses my transness. I made this decision on my own, and I want everyone else to make their own choices about who they are. I don't want my partner to be trans because he is a cis man. If my agender friend wants to keep her body just the way it is, I want her to keep it that way.
It’s weird how we established decades ago that being gay or trans isn’t a choice and that you’re born that way I don’t know why these people didn’t get the memo. I mean there are a lot of people out there who truly believe you can be trained to be gay or trans and it’s remarkable
On the point of fascism and homoeroritism and homosexuality I think its important to point out that Nazi sexologists towards the end of the war became very paranoid about the decade long fetishisation of SS members as causes of homosexual activity.
Other nazi sex guys also tried to say that the female orgasm was a jewish lie and honestly I feel sorry for their wives
i feel sorry for the 6mil jews they killed. but yea female orgasm ig.
@@HazeLmao have you heard of the concept of a joke?
And then Ben Shapiro repeated them by saying women don't get wet.
@@cheeseofglass In response to WAP??? Can you reference the quote? Nah, didn't think so.
@@ErroneousMonk1 I was paraphrasing.
I feel like voluntarily watching all the Tucker Carlson Originals is considered self-harm.
While I enjoy the entertainment value of Jose deconstructing them, I worry for the mental state of anyone willingly watching Tucker's content.
Remember friends: *Unregenerate trolls* are best left unfed. Except perhaps with cookies.
You joke, but I think for a lot of people it could be considered legit self-harm.
Funny, I feel the same way about watching this youtube channel
@@zapazap Why the word unregenerate
As a non-American it scares me how Fox News even has an audience
"Fox News won a court case by 'persuasively' arguing that no 'reasonable viewer' takes Tucker Carlson seriously."
Post edit:
The total investment of a populace into the polar extremes of news sources that paints the "other side" as the "enemy" is what scares me
We are all the same people.
In the Nuremberg trials a man was executed for doing what Cucker Tarlson does for a living
The judge was trump appointed.
Fellow non-American here.
Over here, the kind of crap Fox News does is only found at fringe newspapers that only grumpy seniors buy.
Well, Britain tried to copy Fox News with GB news and even in their heavily corporatized yellow press landscape it failed rather quickly despite millionaires proping it up
Trump judge. They knew. It was a wink-wink.
Tucker Carlson's favorite food is literally just blood. He can't get enough of it. He's not even a vampire, he just likes the taste.
Remember friends: *Unregenerate trolls* are best left unfed. Except perhaps with cookies.
He still has that clueless "just asking questions" facial expression on, even when he's describing his own series.
He plays his part almost too well.
He is always just "asking questions"
that might be him reading a teleprompter tho, which is funnier, that utterly confused face may be just Tucker straining to *read*
I never really realized how aggressively homoerotic the set dressing of fascism is
“We shall provide Hitler from behind, constantly supporting a strong flow of seamen -ok wait who wrote this?”
-Benito Mussolini
It's because it heavily focuses on an idealized version of men that is more economically beneficial to the system(young, heathy, strong etc) and puts women in the background/sidelines of the system
Jose made that argument not Tucker. Jose with 0 evidence associated it with fascism, anti-semitism, and white supremacy. Says more about jose than a weird wrestling clip
Aggressively homoerotic AND homosocial. You know, just bad guys being dudes.
I took a class about the Holocaust several years ago, and there was a unit about Paragraph 175 et al. Part of that involved our instructor showing us Nazi propaganda which emphasized idealized "Aryan" men and homosociality and, yeah, it was also quite homoerotic. It immediately comes to mind when I see shit like The Golden One and whatever the hell that was in this video.
as a gay lover of professional wrestling, I can assure everyone hart vs austin at wrestlemania is literally the best match ever.
Probably my favorite.
Came here to say the same thing lol
from a life long rasslin fan, I agree!
better than undertaker vs Mankind hell in a cell?
@@sp00ky_noodle48 well let's not get too crazy lol
The whole thing that really gets me about the “transgenderism is just a phase and we need to protect the kids!!!!” argument is that… so what? Kids go through phases, as a parent you should expect that. Even if we do grant that being trans is a phase (it’s clearly not), do you treat any other phase like this? I wouldn’t send my kid to conversion camp for being goth. I’m not Debbie from the Adams Family. You’d let your kid dye their hair and wear makeup and cut their own bangs and shop at hot topic because it makes them happy, even if they won’t do that forever. Even IF you actively want your kid to stop being trans (or goth in this analogy), because you hate seeing your kid happy I guess (great parenting buddy), trying to force them to suppress that phase will only make them hold onto it longer. If I took all my kid’s black clothes and threw them out, threw out all their makeup, and took them to get their hair “fixed” I’d just be making them do all that stuff but sneakier. They wouldn’t stop, because kids are kids and they’re going to do what they want, they’d just get better at hiding it. And most importantly, they’ll start to resent their parents. Point being, you shouldn’t have kids if all you want is moldable clones of yourself who never say no and never change.
True.
Their entire argument hinges on the fact that trans kids get surgery the second they realize they're trans, which isn't how medicine works at all. It also ignores what current waitlists for trans-affirming care look like right now.
In my experience, hardcore conservative parents are highly intolerant of their kids dabbling in the most benign phases without their consent, *especially* if the phase the kid is going through smells like "rebellion" or dissent. They tend to take their kid's attempts to self-actualize as a threat and/or an insult.
@@dinosaysrawr and they act like they never had those same urges too. It's like the forget that they were also a child at some point and had similar wants or desires.
@@dinosaysrawr There's also the fact that the further right the parents are the more they assume all parents are totalitarian, which is part of why they think children are being forced into being trans.
I did some light research and found something interesting about that infamous "hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times" meme the right loves just so dang much and treats as ancient wisdom.
It's not ancient wisdom. It's from an underselling 2016 postapocalypse book called Those Who Remain by one G. Michael Hopf, a guy who now posts COVID denialism on his Twitter. But it's as recent as 2016! The only reason it's popular is because of shitty memes from 2017 quoting it with random paintings of Rome falling made at least a millennium later by people who projected their own reactionary ideals onto an event they knew little about.
Like so many of these "ancient truisms" of the right, so many of these "classic traditions" it's ludicrously recent and nonsensical!
There is some history there. Oswald Spengler was a popular hard right conservative writer in germany in prelude to Nazism. Not the same exact phrasing, but he basically promoted the same idea. Still, you are right, it's not ancient wisdom.
It's like how they used to complain about political correctness as what they now see as being woke but it was originally used in the 90's to shame the Clinton admin for Clinton having multiple affairs. The Right loves moving goal posts and keeps saying that we Leftists are unoriginal when they can't even remember where memes come from.
It's sort of a rebranding of the old historical chronicler idea of "wooden clogs on the way up, silk slippers on the way down." You'd find ideas like this in Imperial Roman chroniclers, Tacitus I think brought it up in his writings, sometimes grappling with the loss of the Roman republic and trying to rationalize how it happened. Don't quote me though, it's been a long time since I last read up on these things, so I might be getting it mixed up.
idk i always just thought of it as meaning periods of success come from hard working societies, a society that persists in a state of success will start to become accustomed to the success or becoming” weak” the assumption that survival and success are ensured would lead to “hard times” like we had with covid for example as we all thought something like this couldn’t happen. and then in times of desperation people are pushed to extremes or “hard times create strong men” what do you all think?
The fact that is was repeated in 2016 doesn't mean it's from 2016. It's a truism that has been around for thousands of years.
Most conquest- heavy societies were ones that were considered harder than the "civilized" societies.
Think Vikings and Mongols (and Huns and Alans and Xiongdu and the like).
Same concept applies to individuals, like Bismarck vs Wilhelm Junior.
On the Rittenhouse segment, it's almost as if the government is strong and weak at the same time, how curious.
Double speak?
@@airplanes_aren.t_real More like Goebbelspeak
@@3sheets2dwind76 what's that?
@@airplanes_aren.t_real Sorry, I was using a play on words since "Goebbels" sounds vaguely like "double". Joseph Goebbels was the Reich Minister of Propaganda. Authoritarian grifters like to portray their enemies as weak and incompetent but simultaneously powerful and cunning. It's double-speak (as you said) that preys upon the audience's insecurities.
@@3sheets2dwind76 oh interesting, I never heard about that, thanks for mentioning
That hypnosis tape was literally a plot on Friends when Chandler tried to quit smoking...
i bet that was actually a "Forced Feminization" kink audio they found.
It was also a B plot in a Simpsons episode where Homer tried subliminal messaging to reduce his overeating. The weight loss tapes were out of stock and was given a vocabulary builder tape.
@@pengwin_ I only kink-shame in the respect of people bringing it up in the wrong context and then not letting it go when the 'normies' from their perspective get weirded out by it.

Working for Rupert Murdoc while calling out Soros is hilarious
i'm actually unironically convinced Rupert Murdoch is the devil and it's kinda messing with my atheism
I had the same thought. Like, Soros basically just dumps some money into neoliberal Democratic politicians' campaigns and somehow that makes him the living embodiment of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion... all while you have the Kochs (well, I guess just "Koch" now) funding things like ALEC that literally write right-wing-oriented bills (such as "Right to work" and "Stand your ground" bills) for Republican-controlled legislatures to rubber stamp into law.

Tucker Carlsons entire personality and belief system makes perfect sense when you know his back story. His mom walked out on him for a bohemian lifestyle when he was a kid and he's still upset about it. Look at everything he says through the lens of someone who is angry at liberals for taking his mommy away from him.

Calling George Floyd a "micro issue" really did send me into orbit, wtf Tucker
just a wittle bit of violent, painful, slow murder as punishment for existing and for having a fake dollar bill, at the hands of someone who is supposed to serve the public, and has the power to do it again, as do any others like him, exacerbated by deeply-rooted systemic racism and dehumanization! no big deal!!! /s
Yeah, it shun a light of the minor police brutality issue in US especially against poorer people.
George Floyd once held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly, while his thugs robbed her house.
A large picture of George Floyd painted on the side of a bar was struck by Lightning from Heaven. Only that large section of the outer wall was blown out!

@@kenham6742 and thus he deserves to be executed without trial of course of course
The incredible comic genius of that moment when the interviewer asks "what went through your head when you saw the dead cow" and he just says "aliens" all matter of fact, like it should have been obvious.
Tucker Carlson is really a special one. He is like a weirdo internet conservative with a mainstream following. So so so strange (and awful) that he has the following he does.
Right, hearing the most watched man on cable say you can't trust the mainstream media really makes my head spin, though I guess maybe he is referring to himself, in which case he is right on the money
I mean this guy is trying to tell you that transitioning children is good in this exact video and tried to tell you a homo-erotic video is white supremacy and anti-Semitism. Jose is just as stupid and just as much of a freak as Tucker is if not worse
I imagine that's part of the reason why his audience love it. He reflects their paranoid style.
Well most of his audience don't even have pulses because they are so old.
It's because faux viewers are quite literally the easiest demographic to control with propaganda...and FAUX KNOWS IT.
I feel bad for the people down this right wing rabbit hole at this point. Imagine your brain every day telling you, ":you are under attack" and you are powerless to stop it. The victimization and exploitation of these viewers is becoming criminal at this point.
"You are under attack and you are powerless to stop it, BUT if you give us and our strongman du jour your full allegiance and power, then WE will protect you!"
All a pack of disgusting lies.
It's the same thing for left wing content too if you think about it
@@InDeepPudding sure, but there's nuance to leftist critique of world events as opposed to the fantasy land American Conservatives live in.
@@InDeepPudding Not... At all? Conservative ideology by necessity needs to provide no solution, or the solution of "let's all continue to do nothing/consolidate power to the strong white guys".
@@InDeepPudding Far Leftist may have policies (that I feel) are impractical; however, they did not try to destroy democracy over such an easily disproven lie. They encourage people vote and accept election results w/out violence.
When Jose said "Tucker originals are branded as long-form documentaries" I immediately thought "ok for right wing Fox viewers that's probably only 30 mins lol" Then "The vast majority of these episodes are 20 mins long"
So, damn, not _EVEN_ half an hour lol
I keep forgetting that Kelsey Grammer is more like Sideshow Bob than Frasier in real life and it keeps being disappointing every time

as an anarchist from Maine, you really hit the nail on the head with the corridor, I didn't know he made a "documentary" on it. It's complicated as hell and there are good reasons for progressives/leftists to oppose it, and the project being headed up by CMP (rated year after year as the worst utility company in the country by its customers due to constant overcharging scandals, rate hikes, and atrocious outage records and services) basically meant it was always doomed from the start. It was big business versus big business competing for attention. maine has some of the lowest advertising costs in the country, so we were absolutely harrassed with campaign ads and literature, and i think most mainers understood what was going on, ultimately it was voted down by a landslide. Pretty wild to see how Tucker (who lives about 5 minutes from me, drives a rather beat up old truck to con the locals into thinking he's one of them, he is pretty popular around here) used the story to try and scare people across the country, thanks for covering it so well.
I’m honestly surprised Tucker is committed enough to the bit to drive a shabby old truck. I’m shocked he doesn’t drive everywhere in expensive midlifecrisis-mobiles.
@@BirthQuakeRecords Don't mistake malice for complete ineptitude, Tucker Carlson knows what he's doing.
@@BirthQuakeRecords I'm sure it only LOOKS shabby on the outside. It's all about appearances. I'm sure it's got a well maintained engine by a mechanic that he pays to do it. Probably had the truck freshly painted then cosmetically sand blasted down to look worn like buying per-distressed jeans lol.
Car culture and its tie to masculinity is so damned strange to me. Never was my thing.
@@starchilde8698 I’m under no illusions that he’s ignorant about exactly what he’s doing, believe me. I just also think it’s usually extremely on-brand for people like him to sacrifice their performative values at the drop of a hat for the sake of vanity. I’m surprised he’s not so much of a classist that he’d even allow a pickup truck within a hundred yards of hisself. He seems less like an “I’ll cosplay as working class in my day-to-day life” kinda guy and more like a “My preferred transport is a gilded palanquin hoisted by my malnourished indentured servants” kinda guy.

Yesterday Fox News made the decision to give Jose more time to devote to talking about old sitcoms.
Here’s the comment I was looking for lol 😆
The butcher is an interesting touch. Plays into 'liberal' squeamishness about meat while showing the most wholesome small business.
And as a guy who lived in the country... the small butcher is awesome. A lot of small farms still do a somewhat sustainable thing, raising only a half-dozen or so big food animals per year, and the hunters also use them for venison etc.
I bought 1/3 of a cow from relatives... tasted different, matched market prices, and it was raised HAPPY.
The left needs to be able to reach out to these folks. I'm actually awful at it, myself :p. Best I can do for the cause is hold my tongue sometimes.
Agreed. I'm fine with videos showing butchers just doing their jobs. I get where the perception comes from, but not everyone left of center is vegan/vegetarian. Nor does everyone LOC live in cities and suburbs.
You mean they produce meats that are EXACTLY like how all those liberal lefties would advocate for? Maybe that’s how we can get the left and right to agree and bond; over sustainably raised meat products. Just don’t use the word “sustainable.” Of course they’ve been told that every leftist wants to take their hamburgers away and make them drive soy powered jalopies. I actually interacted with a right winger on YT a few years ago who really thought all that stuff. He couldn’t believe that I was a smoker because he was convinced that leftists wanted to ban all tobacco (when in reality the anti-smoking folks are non-partisan). They get lied to and don’t bother to find out the truth.
But, I'm a "leftist anti-capitalist pro gun and gun control, and pro choice and anti racist BECAUSE I was born on a small town, in a farm, with "butchers" whom were my loving grandparents and diverse family who gave a whole lot of good to the world...
So it's odd that they try to make leftists seem against meat or butchers...or hunting...or farming...
We're not, but we are against cruelty, needless destruction.
The right has a problem with responsibility...
"This new anti-dog cruelty law is messing with my sweater business"
"this new law making it illegal to hire children is putting me out of business"
You' are in no way a victim of "government tyranny" lmao you needed to be stopped sooner!
Exactly! I think as leftists we need to engage more in 4H/FFA, it's really fun, really practical, and connects us more with rural folk that otherwise wouldn't know how to talk to us, and we vice versa.
My wife's family raise sheep, less than ten at a time, and they were left to their own devices wandering the forest-y hill they live on. Only when they'd lived for at least a couple years into adulthood did the local butcher come. Three of the sheep in particular were basically outdoor pets, love getting brushed, and their wool gives me so much material for needle-felting!
I think the scariest and also most beautiful and engaging moment was helping one of the sheep birth her twin lambs. I think that's what really solidified the cycle of it all in my brain.
I still can't believe this guy has an audience. I think I first came across this guy when I was in my breakroom at work, someone was watching him. I thought he was like a comedy bit or something. Some of the things he says are just so far fetched that I find it so hard to believe anyone would ever take it seriously. Strange times we live in though..
Not just an audience, that show is the most viewed “news” broadcast in the US at large. Puts things into perspective
Old white ppl love their fear porn lol
@@jomjim3906 fox actually claims Tucker Carlson is entertainment, not news.
@@matt.willoughby Won’t stop the mouthbreathers that watch it from consuming it as news certainly.
Far fetched? They are literally happenning in your face and you are oblivious to all of it
Sometimes when I get too depressed about Tucker Carlson's current platform, I go back and watch the old clip of Jon Stewart mocking him to his face on Crossfire. Always gives me a bit of a serotonin bump.
Peak comedy. Tucker never did that ever again 🤣. Cold Feet Crowder had to get it from somewhere.
The fact that he labeled his twenty minute segments as long-form documentaries says a lot about his opinion on the attention span of his audience.
Also, favorite food is lasagna for entree, and homemade apple pie for dessert.
meanwhile 3 hour video essays are the only thing I consume
The irony with the logging story is those same people will watch a dramatised History Channel show of said logging operation
The fact that Tucker Carlson originals are even a thing that exist is weird.
It's so weird, it's kinda a collection of all 4chan shit that got into mainstream.
atleast fox can keep a streaming service up for more then 1 week
@@whatgibbythinkin1461 that’s really not as big of a burn as you seem to think it is…
@@whatgibbythinkin1461 Literally nobody cares...
Not weird enough.
As a recovering Republican who is completely fed up with the whatever the heck the party has become at this point, I can honestly say that at one point I was naïve enough the wonder when the Fox crowd would get tired of being fed bulls**t. I've since come to realize that not only will then *NEVER TIRE OF BEING FED BULLS**T* they enjoy the taste of it and actively seek it out. Hence Fox Nation and Tucker Carlson Originals.
I had fox news on in my house constantly growing up thanks to a very conservative father - and watching this is bizarrely affirming. Good to know that fox and its programming is just as deranged now as it is in my memories. Gonna send this to my siblings - I'm sure that they'll enjoy the fun reminder of our primary form of childhood entertainment. Thanks for this - keep up the good work!
It is good to know that despite being raised around Fox, you clearly came out alright. :D
The ad for this video was an Epoch Times host throwing from a news room to a video of himself harassing strangers on the street. 🤣
legit thought my epoch times ad was part of the vid and was waiting for joses deconstruction lol
Jose, thanks for editing out the grosser imagery. TV news, especially fox, gives me anxiety and the editing really helps to lessen it.
Hahahahaha. Hilarious. Gotta love this new society. TV news gives you anxiety. Damn. And you got 99 thumbs up. I bet you feel 'affirmed' in your fake mental weakness.
i recently discovered that my dad, a former hippie turned libertarian, is now also a fan of tucker carlson. given that he knows i'm queer and that several family members are mixed race, i've taken this as a sign that he is not to be trusted at this point, unfortunately.
thank you for doing this deep dives, i really appreciate them. and my favorite food currently is a bowl of basmati rice topped with an egg and homemade kimchi, i have it for breakfast every morning.
It is unfortunate that understandable grievances with government bodies can be abused by Carlson type rubes into believing dangerous conspiratorial nonsense
Also that breakfast sounds delicious
My parents identify as progressives but they've always hated LGBT+ people and have spent decades mocking and vilifying feminists, racial minorities and disabled people (though to be fair their respective siblings share that bigoted mindset and most call themselves "progressive" as well). Either way, it didn't come as a surprise that they feed on a QAnon diet. At least now the rest of my mother's family can't take her seriously. My very old school conservative but sensible aunt can't deal with how vocal she is about her ludicrous beliefs. My half sister, niece, and other aunts and uncles are simply horrified.
@@halloweenallyearround4889 it's amazing and sad how people can have that level of disconnect with their own viewpoints. I'm so sorry you have to go through that, too.
@@halloweenallyearround4889 how can you be progressive and hate gay ppl😭 you needa tell ur parents to check up in their political stances
My jaw was on the floor when you got to Uvalde, how is this not a bigger story? I saw some print media stuff getting linked about how high tech and high budget the department was but no idea they'd been in a documentary.
16:39 - 16:49 and 17:30-17:33 Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that guy's joke was based on calling them gay as an insult, it seemed to be about making fun of the irony of conservative media being homophobic while also showing homoerotic imagery. It's making fun of homophobia rather than participating in it. Maybe that's just my interpretation though.
I saw the original Colbert routine. You're right. The part at the end was support for coming out,
Should've been titled "Tucker Carlson's Homoerotic Fantasies"
Honestly, if Tucker Carlson published an original that was nothing but him repeating "THEY THINK YOU'RE EVIL, AND THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU." over a slideshow of pictures of random minorities, his audience would love it. That really is everything that his messaging boils down to.
As a guy who climbs trees with chainsaws for a living I know that I definitely think of Tucker when I think of strength. Definitely.
Do you think about ball tanning, though?
I feel like often views of Carlson miss the fact he is indeed a very rich man with no care for them or anyone "below" him. Also, he himself has stated his shows are not to be believed.
The infernal Moops Card.
He says that because he knows that his fans will believe him regardless. The number 1 priority for Carlson is to get the message out there while avoiding any and all responsibility. In many ways he does represent the American elite: Whine about laziness and "personal responsibility" but always make sure to never take any responsibility yourself.
I don't get the 'next time, it could be you' line with regards to rittenhouse.
I don't show up to protests with guns. It really couldn't be me.
The shots of Kyle in a suit gazing pensively at the beach are LOL
I can't help but laugh at the last chapter and think that "Kid Rock the Alien" would also be a good name.
Tucker: "yeah, you go, strong man who isn't me! I'm glad I enabled you to save men"
Release your sperm count Tucker! Own us libs!
Your comment about pro-wrestling got a big pop from me. My friends (non-wrestling fans) would point out to me (massive fan) that wrestling seemed a lot like gay sex and wonder why a straight guy would enjoy it. I'd always tell it's called homoerotic and it's awesome.
This reminds me a lot of when the boxers get weighted before their fight. They always get a picture of both fighters staring into each other's eyes, and I know it's meant to be like they're ready to fight, but I always think they're closer to kissing than to start fighting.
Detransition as an argument is really weird. Like... If anything that backs up the idea that these things are complex and nuanced, and that on average LGBT folks don't really care if you personally change your mind about your identity, because that's something that's difficult and of course you need room to make those calls as a person.
"What if someone wants to detransition?"
"Cool."
"...What?"
"Yeah it's fine."
"Obviously this is somehow an evil plot to make people MORE TRANS."
Isn't that an episode of friends where Chandler tries to quit smoking and accidentally gets a woman's positivity tape?
Omfg, i cant believe they actually put in the bit with the texas police… and they even have that one guy in a school. That feels so weird
It feels gross, is how it feels.
They made those people and their policies out to be heroes, when 300 of them countes stop 1 shooter from killing children
The stinger music as like four regular looking black guys walk through a gate is wild. What am I supposed to be afraid of?
Brown people = danger. They'll say it as many times as it takes for you to immediately associate the two and then their job is done.
So as someone from Maine, that patch of forest is new growth forest for logging and snowmobiling; we have hundreds of thousands of miles of the old growth forest, and that section is basically uninhabited, and it’s mostly just used for Logging, Snowmobiling, and occasionally hunting, though not very frequently, since the other two make it less favorable for hunting
This was an hour of me repeating "What the fuck?" to myself. Thank you.
I love bread, and since I haven't become numb to anti-bread slander the way I have to actual hate speech, the "bread causes mental illness" part actually made me kind of angry (although I suppose it also touched me more because I'm autistic and mentally ill, so it also sounded like the kind of unsolicited and/or puesdoscientific medical "advice" that is often ableist one has to live their life dodging when they have chronic medical conditions)
It hit me hard too! Also neurodivergent and mentally ill lover of bread !
I love bread too, and I'm not diagnosed with anything. But I'm from México, bread is culture and very tasty.
@@TouringWolf42 I love bread from all cultures!! naan from Indian is my favorite :)
People have been living on bread since the dawn of civilization, if there was anything wrong with it we wouldn't have survived this long.
Tuck Charleton: Isn't it bad that they are cutting down trees to build a powerline?

"the bro science behind ball tanning is uh
generally that uh
yeah it feels good so do it"
what a sentence
Boy Jose you are a brave man,I don't think I could watch every tucker Carlson original.
The story of Latasha Harlins is crazy.
Accused of shoplifting before having the chance to stop by the counter. Got yelled at, put the bottle in question on the counter and was leaving the shop without taking any goods, when the yelling shopkeeper pulled a gun and shot the girl in the back of the head. The shopkeeper in court apparently did not show any remorse and claimed to have acted in self defense and that her life had been in danger. She still got off the hook for murder and was charged with five years probation for manslaughter.
That's just nuts.
And that privilege is what Carlson is working so hard to protect. It is starting to slip away, far too slowly but it is slipping and for the people who are used to that privilage and see it as a god given right that's unbearable.
Though I would like to add that Soon Ja-Du was viciously beaten by Latasha Harlins; which is why Judge Joyce Karlin imposed the sentence in question. Judge Karlin however was extremely arrogant in her decision by explaining that she has the ability to know a criminal and who presents a danger to the community when she sees one but she treats them differently when she doesn't see a person as a criminal.
16:58 George Takei saying "This is so gay." Is fucking hilarious.
Just a small footnote: Bukele initially did negotiate with the gangs (his whole platform was about not negotiating with them) and that originally lowered the murder rates in El Salvador. After that became public the gang and governments relations fell off and the murders got back to normal or even higher, that caused the crack downs and mass arrests (over 57,000 people arrested!)
Plus, the murder rate did decrease BEFORE he became president, albeit from historical highs. The idea that he sells himself as a miracle worker is hilarious.
I keep writing and rewriting comments - there's no end to the misinfo in this work. You've done a great job highlighting this. All I think I can add is, for the readers: read Drug Cartels Do Not Exist. It touches deeply on how there is an actual international conspiracy to uphold the current hierarchy that touches most of the topics Tucker loves to make money about.
Thanks for the suggestion! I was looking for something contemporary on the driving forces and interests behind drug trade in Central America and the narratives surrounding it, and that ought to do it!
I did not realize it was the Uvalde police until you revealed it in this video…..I am enraged
A lot of my moms students and my classmates are undocumented immigrants. Her school has a firm off the books policy of not ratting them out to the government . After all they are going to school their just trying to get a better life for themselves and their families.
Another AMAZING deep dive!! Love that I found through The Majority Report!!
I really appreciate the incredible work and also I feel so sorry for you to get through so much Tuck's stuff.
This analysis is nothing short of brilliant, José.
the more videos I watch about the social state of things is in the US, the more grateful I am for living in South America
You dont get to escape. The US loves to export its ideological bullshit to us, its becoming unbearable
We just officially hit 8 billion humans on our lovely little planet. This occurred, despite disease, natural disasters, accidents & other humans all working to reduce our numbers. Underpopulation is certainly not an imminent concern.
"so i decided to watch every single episode of tucker carlson originals"
oh no baby what is you doing
Ahhhhh this made my week end perfectly ❤
as someone from michigan, we apologize for kid rock
gotta admit, making the trailer to your tv show a snuff film is certainly a vibe
Seeing the brief shot of Fox Studios during Tucker’s intro made laugh too hard. It’s a clever bit of deception seeing as Disney owns that lot and those stages.
Thank you for all of the amazing content!
When that woman burned that plastic bag because she thought someone over the border could POSSIBLY have been touched by an immigrant made me so disappointed and sad. That was so overdramatic and unnecessary.
you always make high quality content, thank you !
always a good day when a new Jose vid drops
"The Bro Science behind Ball Tanning-"
Well i'm sold on his credentials.
A favorite food of mine when I was a kid was the Yakiniku they made at a certain asian food market in a mall I used to live near. To this day no restaurant I've ever been to has captured the same sublime ambrosia I was served at the age of probably nine. For a long time, yakiniku was my favorite food, even though I had not tasted any incarnation of the food that tasted anywhere close to as good since.
Wow, great video!! Thanks so much!!!
🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤
Much love!!
Dude, many props to you for putting yourself through such torture a few times a year. I hope that you get adequate time to address the mental and physical health issues that gorging on these subjects cause so that you can continue to shine your light for years to come.
the line about the Uvalde school shooting being the worst mass shooting so far sent chills down my spine
Bret vs Austin at Mania 13 absolutely is the greatest match of all time; Jose spreading the good word 🙏
You have some really good essays!!
"Bro Science" has been a deragatory word in the health and fitness community meant to mean "dumb, untested shit passed off by roided morons on the internet as if it had any basis in reality", and true to Sarte's assessment of the fascist's disrespect of language, they just adopt that term and imbue it with legitimacy for their cattle-filled audience. "Yeah, exactly, it's science for normal people, not by those supposed experts who we all know we can't trust."
He really is the most watched host on cable news isn't he?
Well, when you think about all the options that non-brainworm infested people have, and that for those afflicted with brainworms he's their only option, it looks a little less scary. Like, of course he's going to have more views, he's the only mainstream platform that caters to american nationalists.
And that’s not always a good thing.
He is, but it's still a comparatively small number of people. About 1.5 million if I recall correctly, which is what, .5 percent of America or a bit less?
Re: 18:50, ironically, few things say "soft and spoiled" to me more than people freaking out because a corporate mascot got redesigned and became less sexy as a result.
Insanely good video, really well researched.
Thank you so much, José. Awesome exposé
