All the King’s Horses and All the King’s Men, Couldn’t Make Tucker Respected Again
“The government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real. It’s called geoengineering and it’s far worse than anything you imagined.”
Fresh off the blowback from his decision to hand a microphone to white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson launched himself straight into the stratosphere — figuratively and literally. His latest episode insisted that “chemtrails” are real and part of a sprawling government conspiracy. To prove it, he brought on self-styled expert Dane Wigington of Northern California, who, Carlson assured viewers, has “been on this subject for almost 30 years” and “compiled what we believe is the most comprehensive account of what we’re seeing. And it’s very bad.”
Mainstream science does not support the claim that “chemtrails” are a form of deliberate global poisoning. To be fair, given how often experts and scientists have misled the public — or contradicted themselves — about climate change over the years, it’s understandable that many people no longer take what they say at face value.
Even so, Carlson’s conversation with Wigington veered quickly and unmistakably into conspiracy-theory territory. The episode was widely mocked online; critics dismissed it as pseudo-science, and whatever remained of Carlson’s credibility took another hit.
Perhaps the most entertaining reaction came from X user Legal Phil, who compared Carlson’s fact-finding adventure to Humpty Dumpty’s great fall — and somehow managed to link it to what many see as his escalating antisemitism.
Humpty Dumpty. We all know the tragic story. He sat on a wall. He fell. Or did he? And why was everyone so quick to reach that conclusion? My next guest, a historian, took a second look at the incident, and what he discovered will have you asking questions about Israel.

“It’s always the obvious questions that are so vigorously discouraged,” Carlson began. “One of the questions that’s been the most discouraged over the past 30 years is, what are those lines in the sky that you see trailing jets?”
Carlson said his team had been searching for “a serious, sane person with an engineering background who could tell us what we are looking at.” And, with that, he introduced Wigington.
According to The Huffington Post, Wigington “once pushed a pseudoscientific theory that California’s drought between 2011 and 2017 was the government’s doing.”
Tucker Carlson.. Chemtrails 👀
What are those lines in the sky you see trailing jets? What are chemtrails? Some claim the US government is spraying POISON on the population

Throughout the exchange, Wigington treats his findings as established fact, rather than speculation. He tells Carlson that those lines in the sky are not mere contrails, but “sprayed particulate dispersion. There is no theory in this equation. … This is not ‘condensation.'”
“We found exactly what we knew we would find, starting with aluminum nanoparticles. Bioavailable free-form aluminum is toxic to all life, period,” Wigington said. “That element is named in numerous climate engineering patents as part of a geoengineering dispersion element. So again, there’s no theory involved in any of this.”
And on it went.
Carlson posted the interview on X, along with the claim that “the government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real. It’s called geoengineering and it’s far worse than anything you imagined.”
He highlights the most eye-opening moments of their discussion, including: “Are All These Strange Streaks in the Sky Chemicals Being Released Into the Air?,” “The US Military’s Role in Climate Engineering,” “The Mass Death of Insects and Trees Around the Globe,” “The Government’s Biological Warfare Tests on Unknowing Americans,” and “Is the Government Using Wildfires as a Climate Engineering Weapon?”
The post quickly accumulated a lengthy list of Community Notes (see “Readers Added Context”).

The interview, unsurprisingly, set social media ablaze. Here are some of the reactions:
The Babylon Bee lampooned the episode in a sharply satirical piece titled, “Latest Tucker Guest Bigfoot Reveals How Mind-Controlling Chemtrails Are Sprayed Over The Flat Earth By The Jews.”

Now that Tucker Carlson has broken open the chemtrails conspiracy, what will be his next journalistic coup?
— Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) November 11, 2025
One X user wryly noted: “Good thing nobody has hitched themselves or their institutions to this guy.”
Another wrote: “The moon. We all see it. Some people claim we’ve even been there. Maybe. Maybe not. But my next guest is here to answer the question we are never allowed to ask. Is it really made of cheese?”
Maybe the real conspiracy isn’t in the clouds at all — it’s in how far a man will go to stay relevant.
Perhaps Carlson’s most controversial moment since leaving Fox came in September 2024, when he interviewed Darryl Cooper, who claimed that Winston Churchill was the “chief villain of the Second World War” and that the Holocaust was essentially an “accident.” Carlson later praised Cooper as “perhaps the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.”
His interview with Nick Fuentes was a close second. And with his latest episode, Carlson didn’t do himself any favors. His descent from commentator to conspiracist now feels complete.

Great article title!
Thanks!
Ok. I’m really disappointed now. I was going to state that we Jews were responsible for chemtrails and they don’t affect us because of our superior genetics. However, it appears the Bee beat me to it,
Hmmm just a thought. I wonder whether I can set Ticker’s hair on fire using my weather controlling space laser retuned to the frequency of his hair follicles. Must… Try… Soon!
There’s nothing, NOTHING, that we can’t do!
Give me one sheet of matzah, one kugel, a slice of honey cake, and two portions of kreplach, and I can cause a nationwide power grid surge!
Love it! Don’t forget the bubkah; that stuff can definitely take out an airbus. It’s great being Jewish we are the glue that holds all the crazy dumb people together.
Stealing from Rush Limbaugh, we live rent free in their heads.
Because we’re CHEAP!!!
Considering the numbers of Jews and crazy dumb people there are definitely not enough Jews.
Problem is greatly increasing the number of Jews in the US adds primarily to the Democrat voter rolls. For a smart people, Jews are often politically dumb, voting for people who would throw them under the political bus in a heartbeat. Admittedly I believe this occurs more often with secular Jews (JINO?).
Is it a chocolate babka? It has to be chocolate.
Cinnamon.
But plain goes best with kielbasa.
“kreplach”?
Sounds like something Klingons eat. Or wish upon their enemies.
Kreplach was a thing in Cranston/Providence/Warwick at least between the 50s and the 80s. So was kugel, blintzes, rugelach and more. It may have since all moved to Boca Raton along with the moms and grandmas.
Nothing so cool ; just dumplings.
Apikorsos! Not ‘just’ dumplings- dumpling stuffed with chopped meat.
Not necessarily. Cheese kreplach are a thing too.
Kreplach literally just means “little crepes”. A little crepe is a krepple, and more than one of them is kreplach.
Of course they’re not actually crepes, they’re dumplings, but that’s what happens when words migrate from one language to another.
That’s also how in Russian “vinaigrette” is not a salad dressing but a salad of cubed beets, potatoes, and pickles. It’s also how when the Russian word “bistro” (“quickly”), moved into French it became a kind of restaurant.
“Bistro” dates to the 1814 occupation of Paris–Russian customers wanted something to eat quickly (Bistra! Bistra!) and eateries that served food/snacks relatively quickly were born. I love history.
Also could you please burn those stupid checked shirts that he seems to like?
I’m on it!
For those unaware the chemtrail nonsense started back in 1999 on Art Bell’s overnight radio program.
This is one of the follow-up programs from 2001. The chemtrail portion of the show starts at about 45:00 minutes. Art also talks about HARP during the show. Tucker is very late getting around to this stuff.
https://artbellarchive.org/episode/march-14-2001-chemtrails-william-thomas-124-ufo-reports-peter-davenport
I used to love that show. You never knew what level of crazy was going to call in next.
Art Bell–now there’s a blast from the past!
Tucker Carlson: the supermarket tabloid of commentators.
Someone has to take over for Gerald Michael Rivera and it might as well be him.
Tucker is having some fun, boys and girls. Usually he starts his lengthy podcast with a lengthy introduction of the guest. In this case he said Nothing about the guest’s background, education, organization, bona fides, or expertise. This means he knew the ashen-faced, corpse- like figure with the restrained stutter was a complete nutter or a phony bottom-scraping opportunist.
He got fired by Fox and now is his chance to have some fun holding himself to the same low standards as the left. He is poking his finger in your eye and loving it. No antisemite, he probably thinks Jewish lobbying groups have a little too much influence so he drops a bomb by cordially conversing with a self-taught, midget incel.
All great fun and plenty of profit. But who isn’t a phony on TV? Certainly not Hannity.
I’m not sure Hannity is intelligent enough to pretend, frankly I don’t see how he has any sort of show to host. Dude comes across to me as a blundering buffoon uninterested in allowing his ‘guests’ to speak.
I almost vomited when he kissed Bruce Jenner’s queer ass up and down the studio walls for being such a wonderful self-mutilating homo dude in a dress. That was it for me.
Hannity’s too-sincere, frat-boy persona wore on my nerves decades ago.
If he’s not an antisemite, than Mamdani is an actual economist genius. At least Tucker and Mamdani can agree on something: Jew= bad. Yes AIPAC a Jewish lobbying group made up of Americans who lobby Democrats is real but guess what they ain’t that powerful. Certainly not CAIR level of powerful. Foreign lobbying money from Qatar =good, and guess what they are that powerful and are not Americans. I wonder which one is the real danger?
Take it up with Tucker.
No thanks I haven’t been listening to him since the Nick Fuentes interview. Not getting my viewership anymore.
AIPAC ain’t even all that Jewish.
Strange idea of fun, to inflame people to hate Jews by promoting antisemites to spread their message unhindered.
People should be free to love or hate whomever they please. But, the objects of their hatred should not in any way have their legal rights abridged, be subjected to violence or be the object of a governmental propaganda campaign. That is freedom.
And? You have no point because to comment was not about freedom at all, but that his hate spurs others to the same and raises the chances for violence. Just fun!
And to show why it’s serious:
“J.D. Vance Versus the Groypers?”
https://www.thefp.com/p/jd-vance-versus-the-groypers?r=5tjgxv
Vance may or may not be the answer, but the forces Carlson enables are nothing to sneeze about, and should be confronted for what it is.
Tucker is about Tucker. He lives off subscription revenue now, and he has gotta keep that money flowing.
Exactly and hate sells;it’s fun to blame an all powerful evil for everything.
Yep. This is the key point. There are still folks in 2025 (who damn well should know better) that still refuse to judge individuals by their own actions/merits and insist on using ‘tribal membership’ as the be all end all for making judgements about the individual members of said tribe.
The new grift is to run a podcast and bring on nutty folks who can mostly speak well to draw in the minority of folks who hold similar opinions as a paying subscriber. In a Nation of 350 million even 1/2 a % is huge audience and potentially very profitable at just $5 a month.
Yep, some of those people are right here on LI, doing exactly that to Moslems.
Stereotypes are useful, and there’s nothing wrong with using them, but they only give you a first approximation when considering someone about whom you know nothing but their group membership. As soon as you know other things about that individual, the stereotype is no longer valid.
Milhouse,
Agreed. You are ‘preaching to the choir’ my friend. No matter what tribe/group someone may/may not belong to they are an individual and should be viewed/judged by their own actions not those of others within the same tribe/group. Especially when that group membership is based on immutable characteristics not voluntary choices. I’ve served in combat with Muslims fighting right alongside them to defeat ISIS. Not every Muslim is a nutty extremist hell bent on imposing their kooky ideology on everyone else, in fact many Muslims fought to resist that crap. We as a society gotta stop being so intellectually lazy and trying to pigeonhole folks into predetermined boxes based on our prejudice and/or misunderstandings. .
Not every Muslim is a nutty extremist hell bent on imposing their kooky ideology on everyone else,
Well….no.
Imposing Islam on everyone is the central tenet. The Dar al-Harb must be defeated utterly that the Dar al-Islam be realized..
Some may, while outnumbered, be less ‘extremist’ about it, but Islam does not allow for ignoring the call to Allah in peace.
This is not to say that there are not nice people who are Muslim.
But you judge individuals on what they do and what they profess to believe and if one of the things they profess to believe is that you should convert or be subjugated or killed then you must take them at their word no matter how lovely their smile is.
And perhaps help them back to the faith of their ancestors, to the gods who await them with fondest hearts in the Empty Quarter.
Indeed, he’s probably asking Geraldo for advice on what to do next, maybe he can find a dead gangster’s vault to open.
“ No antisemite, he probably thinks Jewish lobbying groups have a little too much influence…”
Oh really? They have more influence than any other group or is it just that Carlson doesn’t like Jews in general and thinks anything they do or say is undue influence? Your head seems to be stuck up your boy’s ass and you are lacking adequate oxygen.
“ No antisemite” – the hell he isn’t.
This sure is a looney conspiracy theory that’s hard, if not impossible, to verify!
But I can still see how much AIPAC pays my congressman.
Learn what they say about broken clocks.
Of course you can see what AIPAC pays, they are an American lobbying group, run by Americans. Guess what you can’t see what Qatar pays your congressman? or China? Or Saudi Arabia? Or how much they pay Tucker.
AIPAC doesn’t pay your congressman anything at all. It helps him campaign for reelection, which is a completely normal thing to do, and exactly how our system is supposed to work. And it lobbies him when it wants him to vote on something, which the constitution explicitly lists as a fundamental right which may not be abridged.
AIPAC is exactly like the ACLU, the NRA, and every other lobby group that exists, and on which our entire political system is based. Criticizing it for doing so just because it’s members and supporters are mostly Jews is antisemitic.
Very well said.
Yes ! Thank you ; I’m so tired of AIPAC being made out to be some shadowy nefarious organization. I
Exactly like? From their website:
‘AIPAC is a bipartisan pro Israel political action committee. It is the largest pro Israel PAC in America and contributed more resources directly to candidates than any other PAC. 96% of AIPAC backed candidates won their general election races in 2024.’
AIPAC is a lobbying group with a large, robust and very effective PAC (political action committee). Nothing wrong with that. They primarily push for US elected officials to embrace policies that benefit Israel. Nothing particularly wrong with that either. However that seems to set them apart from most other PAC/lobbying groups b/c their focus and their goal is to lobby/influence US Congress to get US Gov’t policies/laws/regulations enacted that benefit Israel which is after all a Foreign Nation. Nothing overly objectionable about that either.
What is objectionable is to pretend they aren’t doing exactly those things which at root are to place the interests of the USA second to that of Israel and then condemn anyone who notices this fact. IMO any lobbying group/individual lobbyists who urge US Gov’t to alter/amend/create new policies beneficial to a foreign Nation should be required to register under FARA. Again AIPAC isn’t a bad group, they ain’t evil but they are not equivalent to PAC like NRA that focus almost entirely on domestic US policies.
Yes, exactly like. Foreign policy is no different from domestic policy. Exactly like the NRA or NARAL or 1000 other lobbies, they try to persuade the government to adopt policies that they think are the right ones. They are Americans, not Israelis, and they think that the policies they advocate are the right ones for America, just as any lobby does. And that is precisely what the first amendment means by “the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.
You implied you believe there’s no difference between foreign and domestic policy. I disagree. Not sure why you make the presumption that I believe AIPAC should be prevented from lobbying. Clearly I didn’t make that claim instead I argued that there’s a valid good faith reasoning to require AIPAC to register under FARA as other entities/individuals (to include US Citizens) are supposed to do when they advocate for policies that benefit a Foreign Nation. I really don’t see why that is at all controversial.
I will point out that you didn’t directly refute any of the facts I offered and your refusal to grant good faith or even concede that good faith may exist on the part of those making this argument will only embolden the (IMO false) claims by truly bad faith actors that AIPAC is an anti USA org run by ‘the globalist jewry’ or whatever nonsense phase that lunatic Fuentes used. That loon may believe it, I don’t think AIPAC is ‘bad’ but I do believe they seek to sway US policy to benefit a Foreign Nation…. it would seem to follow that that this creates at least a valid argument in favor of FARA.
Until we can openly, respectfully and honestly hold discussions about the topics the true antisemites like Fuentes bring into public we’re gonna continue to add fuel. IMO it is far better to hold sincere discussions and acknowledge how Fuentes operates; he uses portions of truth and fact woven into his tapestry of falsehood to gain traction. When we refuse to acknowledge that a few of the things he states are true but those are surrounded by falsehoods and then demonstrate how his conclusions are wrong (more than that really b/c of his bad faith lies) then we.play into another aspect of Fuentes’ game; ‘see they won’t debate, they just call me names and denounce me’. Followed by something like ‘…its how international Jewish cabal and their paid henchmen operate to conceal the truth’ or whatever nonsense he would spout.
The question is are they directed by Israel? If not then they are exactly the same as any other lobbying group. If they are then they should register as a foreign agent.
Because it’s not true. There is no such requirement, there never was such a requirement, and there can’t be such a requirement. FARA requires registration of agents of foreign governments. AIPAC is not such an agent. It does not work for any foreign government. It is an entirely American lobby, and so there is no reason in the world why it should register.
And no, there is no difference between foreign and domestic policy. AIPAC lobbies for policies that it thinks the USA should adopt, exactly in the same way that every other lobby does. NRDC wants the USA to adopt “green” policies, NARAL wants policies that favor abortion, the Catholic church wants policies that oppose abortion and the death penalty, and favor welfare and immigration, Nigerian Christians have lobbyists who have recently scored a success in urging the President to pay more attention to their plight, the supporters of whales want the USA to put more pressure on Japan to stop whaling, etc. These are all equally matters of US policy, and American voters have opinions about them, which they urge on elected representatives and on unelected bureaucrats.
AIPAC is not being directed by Israel anymore than the Italian lobbyist group is dirceted by Italy or the Greek lobbyist groupis directed by Greece. Jews are always tagged with the dual loyalty streotype and its exhausting. AIPAC are Anerican Jews fighting for an America that doesn’t forget it’s Jewish citizens. Israel is an essential. part of Judaism like it or not just like Italy is an essential part of Italians. No one asks any other group to cut off their homeland; just Jews. And no one else treats peoples homeland with so much suspicion. If you don’t like AIPAC then don’t give them money. But it is antisemetic to think that AIPAC control the US government and all the senators etc etc. They aren’t even that effective honestly, look at how mcuh the Democrat party hates Israel and Jews! AIPAC is a Democrat lobbyist group. Basically they suck at what they are doing.
Clearly we disagree. I believe any lobbying group that seeks to create more favorable US policy on behalf of/to the benefit of a Foreign Nation should be registered under FARA or a new ‘FARA lite’ category. That’s for me cause to ID the lobby involved. That should definitely hold true for any group lobbying similarly for favorable policies for any Nation. I also hold heretical views on Citizenship and believe any person holding ‘dual Citizenship’ should make a choice at age 18 to be or not to be a US Citizen and that anyone seeking to become naturalized should be required to renounce Citizenship of other Nations/surrender their foreign passport and that any adult US Citizen who seeks and contains Foreign Citizenship should get a one year, one time grace period to decide which Citizenship to renounce.
But why? “On behalf of” is why we have FARA. The government has a reasonable interest in knowing who is working for other governments.
But if group is lobbying to support US policies in favor of another country, how is that different from doing so to support policies in favor of whales, or not smoking, or nuclear power, or tax cuts, tax increases, leaving taxes where they are, or anything else?
What is the difference between saying “I believe US policy should favor the consumption of pineapples”, and “I believe US policy should try to protect Christians in Nigeria”? Both are questions of US policy, and in both cases the lobbyist thinks that the US should adopt a particular position.
He lost me with his kiss-ass interview of Putin. As for Bigfoot, here in the Pacific NW, on Christmas Day last year two men died while searching for Sasquatch in the national forest about 10 miles from here as the eagle flies. Of course, they were from Portland so we can guess what extras were involved. LOL
Republicans eat their own
Tucker , maybe he was really never a true conservative, but he’s actually gone crazy
We lost Breitbart, Rush, Kirk
And. NOw Tucker is insane
Those 3 are not replaceable
Outside of President Trump
We are not in good shape ( yes we have. Vance and Rubio, maybe one or 2 others…but are they in the same league?
Our enemy, and the Dems are our enemy, just elected a man who fantasizes about murdering CHILDREN, because their children are Republicans… they just elected a Muslim commie 20 years after 9/11 as mayor of NYC… Americas city, the land of Ellis island where most of our ancestors came through legally
I don’t think Tucker is insane. He is simply playing his subscribers for fools and says what he needs to so they keep on payin’.
To be perfectly fair, he didn’t fantasize about murdering children. He fantasized about murdering their father, and also about them dying of unspecified causes, which would include natural causes. Still sick but let’s be accurate about it.
BS . But you do you
It’s the plain, simple, and undisputed truth. But you evidently don’t give a **** about that.
“Republicans eat their own”
You ate Ron DeSantis whole hog. During the primaries all you did was attack him and call him “meatball.” I guess you hate Italians, unless those meatballs are Swedish.
So just stop with the holier than thou bull-s.
And gonzotx STILL hates DeSantis for daring to run in the primary against Trump.
“”Republicans eat their own””
Interesting statement from somebody who’s spent years attacking Republicans.
“Humpty Dumpty. We all know the tragic story. He sat on a wall. He fell. Or did he? And why was everyone so quick to reach that conclusion? My next guest, a historian, took a second look at the incident, and what he discovered will have you asking questions about Israel.”

Just try reading it in whatever you imagine to be a French accent.
Contrails are a good thing. In the age of turboJETS, the primary thrust was hot gas blowing out the back, which rapidly dispersed the H2O and CO2 in all directions at very high temps, so little or no accumulations of them. Enter the turboFAN, where a second stage of turbine blades drives a shaft that powers a large bypass fan at the front of the engine. Two things happen. The bypass air is a large volume at a reduced velocity so it better couples with the atmosphere and thus thrust is more effectively delivered. Ditto with the residual exhaust gas from the turbine part which is cooled via the mechanical interaction with the turbine as it does work.. Second, the bypass air forms a cooler envelope around the hot exhaust gases, which are now at a reduced temp and velocity, so those gases condense faster while still near eachother and thus form the contrail. The lower temps and the envelope also drastically reduce noise. I live near an F15 base. You can’t hear a 737 or A320 take off, but everyone knows when the F15’s go airborne. Because of the turboFAN, a modern jet plane is probably twice as energy efficient, or more, as a 707 was in the 1960’s. So seeing contrails is a good thing.
Nothing couples better to the atmosphere. An airplane gets thrust by throwing momentum backwards. Momentum is mass times velocity thrown. The energy to do it is mass times velocity squared. The energy for a given thrust is lowest when velocity is a low as possible and the mass as high as possible. So they reduce the exhaust velocity by putting on a big fan and including a lot of plain old air mass in what’s tossed back slowly.
Similarly gliders have long thin wings to throw as much air as possible downwards as slowly as possible, to get lift. Smallest energy required.
Bernoulli would disagree. Air flowing over the top of the wing travels faster than the air beneath the wing ~ because of the shape of the wing. Sails work the same way.
Bernoulli works backwards. The air is going faster because it ran down a pressure gradient, not the reverse. It’s a solution of the Navier Stokes equations, is what governs airflow. It’s not intuitive, just what happens. There being low pressure over the wing (as you know from the air running down the pressure gradient and speeding up) the air above that starts moving downwards into it. After the wing has gone by, there’s all this air moving downwards. That means that lift come from throwing air downwards. The wing shape happens to be efficient in throwing air downwards without much unnecessary drag, is the final takeaway.
Oh stop it with the god damn facts. They only get in the way.
All true. But contrails/vapor trails are caused by other aircraft under the right conditions. Chemtrail quacks ask “Do you remember seeing them when you were a child?” These people have never seen photos of the sky over London during the Battle of Britain, or of a sky full of B-17s over Germany.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Large_formation_of_Boeing_B-17Fs_of_the_92nd_Bomb_Group.jpg/1024px-Large_formation_of_Boeing_B-17Fs_of_the_92nd_Bomb_Group.jpg
In the early and mid fifties I’d be in our back yard in the Hollywood Hills, and watch the contrails of planes overhead. Airliners were still DCs and Lockheeds and a few Convairs, all props. The jets were military and likely were out of Burbank where Lockheed had a plant, and may still.
I’m still trying to figure out how a toilet works.
Siphon started with a diameter-filling rush of water.
Get a bucket of water and dump it fast into the toilet bowl. The whole contents will empty out down the drain (it’s a good way to empty the bowl for maintenance). All the toilet tank does is supply the rush and then after the bowl empties adds water to fill it again.
So, my third grade teacher was lying to us when she explained what that white “smoke” was that we saw in the sky after a jet passed overhead, in 1960?
Now I don’t know who to believe……..
I don’t know whether she was lying, mistaken, or telling the truth. I have no idea what she told you it was.
he gets more press from right leaning media than anyone else that I personally have seen.
Drop him like a hot rock, and forget about him
“The episode was widely mocked online; critics dismissed it as pseudo-science, and whatever remained of Carlson’s credibility took another hit.”
Well it seems to be all pseudo-science now a days. Come on, what to you think the NGO Tides.org is all about. What was Covid about? Tucker had some good stuff about the Darién Gap. My liberal friends hated Tucker because he talked to Putin.
He is a TV/Podcast host. What do you expect.
As for Chemtrails, there was a lady in CA (I think Northern CA) that was monitoring the air and plant quality that she traced to an outfit that had government contracts to spray stuff. I am not ready to dismiss it right now and I think there is cloud seeding studies out there too.
Woman Confronts Chemtrail Pilots with Absolute Proof of Heavy Metal Contamination Under Flight Paths!
https://tapnewswire.com/2025/02/08/woman-confronts-chemtrail-pilot-in-california/#clip=2k0cxlm95nms
Hm. Strangely, the linked article doesn’t identify the company or the pilot being confronted for knowingly creating chemtrails, so there’s no way to verify any of this or get another perspective. Interesting how that works.
But it honestly only took me a few minutes of internet searching to figure out what’s going on.
She didn’t unveil the insidious “chemtrail” conspiracy, she harassed a businessman employed under a legal contract to perform cloud seeding operations sanctioned by the government: https://www.skywaterventures.com/san-joaquin-cloud-seeding-program.html
Cloud seeding has absolutely nothing to do with the “chemtrail” conspiracy that claims those trails of ice crystals in the sky left by commercial and military aircraft are some sort of government conspiracy to poison the atmosphere, implement some sort of mind control program or genetically engineer the population, or whatever psychotic things the conspiracy nutters come up with.
Hey, where I grew up, we had small, single engine prop planes that flew over the fields and dropped chemicals on them. I probably even have some pictures of them in my old photo albums. SURELY that’s evidence that the government is engaged in a conspi9racy to kill us all RIGHT?????
The really annoying thing is: I try to keep an open mind. I don’t dismiss claims out of hand, I try to check them out for myself…especially when they purport to have some sort of evidence in support of their argument.
I cannot express how annoying it is to think about the amount of time I’ve wasted checking out the wild goose chases and rabbit holes that the chemtrail nutters portray as absolute iron-clad proof that their crazy theories are correct after all… And Every.Single.One turns out to be some fantasy concocted by misrepresenting an perfectly ordinary event, fact or observation.
Sort of like the entire premise that a completely explainable, normal and predictable phenomenon MUST be a wild conspiracy by the government.
It’s not only garbage, it’s utterly ridiculous garbage and anyone who falls for it is a gullible fool.
Maybe Tucker and his nutty buddy can watch some old WWII movies and notice that B-17s and B-29s both left contrails. As a pilot all my working life, I can assure you that we added no chemicals to the fuel we used. It is simply water vapor and dissipates rapidly.
I thought the Jews launched chemical tanks up to the bombers from the secret tunnels under the camps?
Imagine the AAF sacrificing bomb load and range to carry chemicals to spread into the atmosphere above Germany to such little effect that no historian of the war has ever identified any noticeable affect on the German population.
Ahh! But, wait! The chemicals having no effect on the German populace was the entire idea! THAT was the effect! /or something
You are so … so … boring. LOL
Tucker has been flailing since he got canned at fox. He appears erratic.
Was he fired from Fox and then became erratic? Or was he fired from Fox because he was erratic and we just didn’t see it on set?
Neurons misfiring like kanye west and getting progressively worse?
Well, all I can say is that yesterday’s “conspiracy theories” are tomorrow’s truths. If the past several years didn’t make that obvious then I don’t know what rock you’ve been hiding under.
Labeling ideas you disagree with as “conspiracy theories” tells me more about the one cavalierly tossing around such terminology than it does the one promoting these “theories.”
If you think those white lines trailing behind aircraft are not water vapor, wait until you find out what clouds are really made of.
Marshmallows?
Never mind whether the moon is made of cheese. Does it exist at all? Or is it merely an atmospheric phenomenon, an optical illusion like comets?
(Fact: Galileo was absolutely convinced comets are an atmospheric phenomenon and viciously attacked Horatio Grassi, who suggested they come from beyond the moon’s orbit, even though Grassi had actually observed the comets of 1618 and he hadn’t. That was one of the things that ended up getting him in trouble. Grassi could have spoken up for him at his trial, and might well have got him off, but he didn’t because he saw him as a charlatan.
It amazes me that anyone believes this hokum. A little thought would dispel the idea.
If “chemtrails” are real where are:
The raw materials for the chemicals sourced?
The factories that are making the chemicals?
The transport necessary to bring it to all commercial airfields?
The storage areas for the chemicals at the airfields?
The support vehicles necessary to load the chemicals on to aircraft?
The designs, engineering, and the parts necessary to build the delivery systems into aircraft?
All the people necessary to make, transport, and handle the chemical, design and build the deliver systems into aircraft, the aircrew who knowingly carry and deliver the chemicals, and the airline executives who are losing millions of dollars due to inefficiencies introduced by the use of their aircraft as a delivery system that increases their aircrafts’ weight, burns more fuel, and reduces the weight of paying passengers and freight?
The financial systems that support the project (including possible compensation to airlines for the above-mentioned inefficiencies their delivery would impost on their bottom lines)?
None of this is visible or has any noticeable footprint in the economy or airline operations. There has never been a leak or whistle blower from the ranks of tens of thousands of people (possibly hundreds or thousands across the decades) who must be involved across the entire operation. There is literally nothing but vapor trails in the sky that are better explained by well understood physical and chemical processes (water is a chemical).
It’s all complete nonsense.
Where do the chemtrails lead? And has anyone ever followed them to find out? I heard one hiker tried following the Oregon Chemtrail, but it petered out before he got to the end of it. He was so disappointed he called it the Chemtrail of Tears.
Chemtrails made me gay. The monsignor had nothing to do with it.
Prolly turned you into a frog too. Bet your name is Pepe.
laugh but the chemicals in the water have been proven to change frogs sexual genome. I know “their making the frogs gay” is a meme but it is actually true and Alex was right in his hyperbolic way
And then immediately died of dysentery.
Where are they? Obviously safely hidden in Area 51.
Ok, we get it after 20 stories. You don’t like Tucker.
My goodness, what will be Tucker’s next crackpot stunt? Perhaps a seance and discussion with the spirit of Professor Irwin Corey (another notable and distinguished expert on a wide array of subject matter)?
Maybe he will do the séance in the new ballroom. Tucker is such a non story in the larger world much like side show Candice. No one of note is listening to anything they say
again
not sure why allowing carlson to expose the stupidity of Darryl Cooper, etc are bad
sure it gives some cretins more juice but they were on that path anyways and even if thats not the case
it fosters those of us willing to defeat their lefty wingy garbage to continue to do so
germany since ww2 did not allow people to display talk about etc their sickening actions ……oh and then imported the very people hit lers did “love” the muslims who”coincidentally …hate the same people the j ews
so banning the citizens from talking about the atrocities was once again an elitist move meant to act like the government was protecting you when IN FACT
they were setting you up once again for the shiv
Megyn Kelly interviews Tucker about his backstage conversation with Charlie Kirk at Charlie’s last TPUSA. Tucker was not going to mention the Epstein ties to intel (including Mossad) so as to not upset Charlie’s donors. Charlie said, do not hold back. All on video.
https://youtube.com/shorts/II_1Mcy8L3c?si=YpjJZxIzt-GufrtX
There is no evidence of any Epstein ties to intel (including or excluding Mossad). There isn’t even any evidence that he had any clients, and wasn’t just procuring the girls for his own use. It’s all speculation.
HHS Secretary Kennedy says on ChemTrails:
“We are going to stop this crime.”
“We will soon end this crime against humanity and our planet,” Kennedy said, “and bring justice to the plutocrats who are perpetrating this mass uncontrolled experiment.”
“It’s done—we think—by DARPA.”
“Find out [specifically] who’s doing it and holding them accountable.”

One kook quoting another kook quoting a third kook. None of whom have any facts.
EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin: “The Trump EPA is committed to total transparency. I tasked my team at EPA to compile everything we know about contrails and geoengineering to release to you now publicly. I want you to know EVERYTHING I know about these topics, and without ANY exception!
https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-releases-new-online-resources-giving-americans-total-transparency-issues
“EPA’s new online resource on condensation trails, or “contrails,” explains the science behind the aerial phenomenon and addresses myths and misconceptions that have persisted for decades. The new webpage also addresses head-on various claims that these occurrences are actually an intentional release of dangerous chemicals or biological agents at high altitudes for a variety of nefarious purposes, including population control, mind control, or attempts to geoengineer Earth or modify the weather.”
I don’t think Tucker has lost his mind. I think he has lost his way. Here’s why…
It is very, very hard to maintain a pace that keeps you ‘forever’ relevant as a content creator. It doesn’t matter if you are a writer, podcaster, author, musician, or any kind of creative producer. If your pace is too fast you wander into junk content. Too slow, you lose relavence (with a bored audience).. Tucker is going too fast. He flew into the sun.
Hubris plays a role as well. If you are very successful it is quite easy to get too far over your skis. Couple this with a ‘too fast’ pace and you don’t have the time to properly research topics that, increasingly, fall outside your core competence.
Especially when you depend on subscription revenue instead of advertising.
That interview sounded like it was made a year or two ago when the Biden regime called chemtrails a conspiracy theory. When Wigington started off in a hysterical voice and after 10 or 15 minutes hadn’t mentioned Lee Zeldin’s pledge early this year for EPA transparency on geoengineering, or at least refer to and critique the EPA website’s page on contrails and geoengineering, I turned it off and thought yep I’m now firmly in the What Happened to Tucker camp.
I like Tucker, but I doubt he has ever watched the Movie “12 O’Clock High” or the TV series with the same name.
They include actual combat footage of contrails, not chemtrails.
Contrails are not just condensation. They are also the jet exhaust that provides the nuclei for the condensation.
I wouldn’t want to breathe concentrated jet exhaust, and it certainly does have a chemical composition, but it’s not significantly different from any other fossil fuel combustion exhaust.
I asked AI if there is aluminum in jet exhaust. It says yes, but only at very tiny trace levels (parts per billion):
“Yes, jet exhaust contains aluminum particles, which come from a few sources: engine erosion, trace metals in the fuel, and the combustion of fuel with metal-based additives. These particles, often in the form of aluminum oxide, can be present at the parts-per-billion level in the exhaust.”
