Tucker Carlson sat down with Nick Fuentes yesterday. Not to challenge him. Not to expose him. To platform him. To normalize him. To introduce millions of Americans to a 26-year-old Holocaust denier who calls for “Total Aryan Victory” and leads crowds chanting “Christ is King” as a weapon against Jews.
Watch the interview. Actually watch it. Don’t read summaries. Don’t trust secondhand accounts. Sit through the entire thing and feel what I felt: the cold recognition that we’re watching the next stage unfold in real time.
Carlson treated Fuentes with the deference he reserves for serious intellectuals. Asked him softball questions. Nodded along as Fuentes explained his worldview. Never pushed back on the Nazi sympathies that Fuentes doesn’t even bother hiding anymore. This wasn’t journalism. This was grooming—preparing his audience to accept what comes next.
And what comes next is Tucker Carlson as president.
I don’t say this lightly. I say it because the pattern is undeniable. Carlson has the largest right-wing media platform in America. He has Trump’s ear. He has the intellectual infrastructure—Thiel’s money, Yarvin’s philosophy, the entire neo-reactionary apparatus. He has the cultural positioning—the “reasonable” conservative who “just asks questions” while platforming Nazis. And now he’s explicitly legitimizing the next generation of fascist leadership.
Fuentes isn’t some random internet troll. He’s the most influential figure among young far-right men. He organized “Stop the Steal.” He dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. When Charlottesville happened, people dismissed it as fringe. When January 6th happened, people called it a riot. When Trump pardoned the attackers, people treated it as politics. Now Tucker Carlson is introducing America to the person who will inherit the movement when Trump is gone.
Not Vance. Vance is too tied to the institutional apparatus. Too dependent on conventional power structures. Too obviously a creature of Thiel’s creation rather than a genuine mass movement leader.
Fuentes is different. He’s young. He’s media-native. He doesn’t hide what he is—he makes the Holocaust denial, the misogyny, the explicit white nationalism into performance art that appeals to exactly the audience that’s being systematically cultivated through algorithmic radicalization. And now Tucker Carlson—the man who could credibly run for president and win—is telling his audience that Fuentes deserves to be heard.
This is how it happens. Not through crude authoritarianism that announces itself. Through sophisticated normalization by people who maintain plausible deniability. Through “just asking questions” that slowly shifts the Overton window until Holocaust denial becomes another viewpoint in the marketplace of ideas.
And here’s what makes this moment so dangerous: while Carlson platforms Fuentes, conservative Jews are treating Zohran Mamdani—a democratic socialist running for New York mayor who went to a synagogue—as the existential threat. They’re calling it taqiyya. Islamic deception. Suggesting he’s secretly plotting against the Jewish community he’s trying to engage with.
The cognitive dissonance is staggering. Tucker Carlson interviews an actual Nazi, and conservative Jews dismiss concerns about it. Mamdani visits a synagogue to build bridges, and they treat it as enemy action.
This isn’t just wrong. It’s suicidal.
Because when the actual Nazis come—and they’re coming, they’re already here, Tucker Carlson is introducing them to mainstream America right now—the people who spent their energy attacking democratic socialists trying to build coalitions will have no one left to call on.
Islamist extremism is real. Hamas is evil. Criticizing Israeli war crimes—which former Israeli prime ministers and IDF generals also do—is not antisemitism. It’s basic liberal principle applied consistently.
But Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes is the threat that should terrify American Jews. Not because Fuentes has power now, but because Carlson is building the infrastructure to give him power. The same way Carlson built infrastructure for Trump. The same way he’s building it for himself.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Tucker Carlson just showed you he’s willing to mainstream Holocaust denial to advance his political project.
Zohran Mamdani showed you he’s willing to walk into a synagogue to build coalitions.
And if you can’t tell which of those poses the greater threat to American Jews, you’ve let tribal politics override survival instinct.
I’m not defending everything Mamdani has said. I’m attacking the insanity of treating him as a greater danger than the actual Nazi Tucker Carlson is currently platforming to millions of Americans.
Because when the wire transforms from a wire into a plank—when the path you thought was precarious becomes a trap—it happens because you spent your time fighting the wrong battles while the real threat consolidated behind your back.
Tucker Carlson isn’t asking questions. He’s auditioning for the role he plans to play. And Nick Fuentes isn’t the fringe. He’s the future Carlson is building for.
Watch the interview. Then ask yourself: who’s the real threat to American Jewry?
The answer should terrify you.
Go Deeper into the Circus
The Liberal Populist Path
Gavin Newsom signed SB 79—a transit-oriented housing bill that overrides local obstruction to force construction near public transportation. Combined with dozens of other housing reforms, he’s using state power to break the homeowner cartels that have made California unaffordable for working people.
When Liberation Becomes Imperial Adventure
The Venezuelan opposition is playing a game they think they understand. They believe they’re using Trump to liberate their country. They don’t realize Trump is using them to launch an undeclared hemispheric war that could destabilize the global order—and they’re helping him do it.
Thank you for bringing this to people's attention, Carlson's CPAC speech this year was my first inkling that he will be the next R nominee for president. Keep an eye on MTG to be on the ticket. She is making moves against the party after she realized how much they hate women in power. The Republicans cowered to a mob boss to save their skins and ended up handing the whole thing over to the worst people on the planet.
Fascism never walks in wearing jackboots anymore. It shows up in a blazer, quoting scripture, thanking you for having him on the show. Tucker’s not interviewing evil. He’s laundering it. Making it smell like intellect. Blessed be the ones who recognize propaganda before it starts shaking hands with power.
