Tucker and Mamdani: How Did So Much Go So Wrong? — Legal Insurrection Podcast: Episode 32
Tucker Carlson is now a chaos agent tearing apart the movement he helped build.
In this episode of the Legal Insurrection Podcast, we unpack a week full of political and cultural friction. We discuss the controversies surrounding Tucker Carlson and what happened on election night in New York City, and we break down what these moments reveal about the shifting ideological landscape.
Professor Jacobson shares firsthand insight into his long-standing relationship with Tucker — from appearing multiple times on his Fox News programs to launching major Legal Insurrection projects on his platforms. But as Tucker’s tone and alliances evolve, many who once stood firmly behind him are now asking hard questions.
Buckle up — this one pulls no punches.

I am starting to listen now however I do hope that the economy is not neglected when discussing how Mamdani actually won.
While it doesn’t absolve New Yorkers of responsibility in selecting the anti-Semitic Communist I do not think Mamdani would have won in a good economy.
I don’t watch or listen to this stuff…
But will read articles.
I still don’t understand the attacks on Tucker.
He’s an anti semite
But that is the least of it
So it is said.
I need more than accusations.
How about his Holocaust Denial?
Or how about his advertising Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes?
Tucker isn’t just an anti-Semite he is a neo-Nazi.
Well if I wanted to understand those attacks, I would certainly try to research or listen before I just admitted it.
Why do you assume that snowshooze hasn’t already done that?
You’re not alone – I also don’t understand the rabid attacks on Tucker.
As for being an “antisemite,” it seems that people have expanded the definition of “antisemite” to include a lot more than it’s previously had.
Can you provide examples because one might argue that words and acts of antisemitism are increasingly masked as something else, even something noble.
No, they haven’t. Antisemitism has included anti-zionism since that became a thing. (Before that antisemites just admitted they were antisemites. Pretending they were “anti-zionists” only started when antisemitism became unfashionable after the War.) In 1967 Martin Luther King told an “anti-zionist” student “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism”. So it was already included — and people were trying to deny it — that long ago.
Tucker Carlson is a liability. He wants to get photographed with his arm around some wingnut like fuentes. Fox dropped him for a reason.

Political liberalism has proven itself completely powerless in the face of a surge of right-wing populism across the world. The bastions of liberalism in the United States are falling one after the other: the legal system, academia, the media, the Democratic Party, all swept away by a wave of nationalist populist sentiment. A conservative will to power is taking the lead. Far-right coalitions are on the rise. Of course, however, they are very unstable, likely to give way to a radically new political landscape, practically unpredictable at this stage, unknowable.
According to Fuentes, he was bathed with conservative, Jewish friends and admirers when he started his political commentary as a college freshman. Ben Shapiro was scoping him out as an ally and the next big thing. But when Fuentes first asked basic questions about support for Israel (in conjunction with other America First queries) he was immediately attacked, cancelled and labeled an antisemite. So, either he was a victim of zero tolerance for anything less than full throated, 100 percent, unlimited backing of Israel or he is lying. Either way, it is hard to imagine he is not currently disinclined to like Jews.
Weak justification to love Adolf, among other things. Whate were these “basic questions?”
I am not justifying anything. I just set out a 100 percent accurate description of a portion of the interview. I think most people on here did not watch the Tucker interview.
If you knew nothing of Nick Fuentes you would find the interview not at all alarming.
The hysteria was ginned up by those who were already familiar with saucier fare served up by Fuentes on other fora. They were pissed that Tucker allowed Fuentes to appear reasonable, rather than attack him for some of his more theatrical performances elsewhere. Tucker lets people talk for two hours. In this case he was supposed to break his protocol and be an attack dog. Fuentes is a little jerk, but Tucker should not be ruined over this.
To the contrary, this is not isolated. And in two hours there was opportunity to provide a more balanced context of someone that is clearly an antisemite, among other things. In this context, Carlson deserves what he is getting, and it’s entirely foreseeable he will get more extreme.
I read of that.
It would appear that if you are not absolutely an avid proponent of Israel, you are obviously a Nazi.
If you are not a proponent of Israel’s right to exist, if you think Israel has less right to exist than any other country, if you think Israel should surrender to its enemies and let them destroy it, then yes, you are indeed a nazi.
Proponent? Well, under your special definition the vast majority of the world’s population are Nazis.
Scott Adams that the right is fighting with the right because they’re run out of other people to defeat.
There are so many explanations, but perhaps one common thread, the abuse and addiction of technology, especially social media and smart phones. All things considered, we were better off before them.
I think it is important to remember that Tucker was as hostile to Ukraine as he has been to Israel. His response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine was to obsess against US support for Ukraine, focusing particular hatred for Zelynskyy.
I find it difficult to believe that Tucker is not driven by antisemitism. In addition to how dreadful his bigotry is, what makes it worse is that it seems to distort his whole view of the world. He seems to believe that the US foreign and military is being dictated by the Israeli government. That is absurd. The US has military and economic interests all over the world and the point of US foreign policy is to protect American interests.
