Journalist 'dragged into interrogation room' as explosive interview sparks diplomatic firestorm

Conservative podcasting titan Tucker Carlson said he and his staff were detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with Donald Trump's ambassador to the country.

The former Fox News host flew into Tel Aviv for a sit-down with Mike Huckabee, who challenged Carlson to speak to him directly following an online spat about the country's treatment of Christians.

Carlson, who also frequently criticizes Israel for its military actions in Gaza, took Huckabee up on his offer.

But as critics and pro-Israel activists began piling on Carlson for purportedly not leaving the airport during his brief visit, he revealed that he was met with hostility in the Middle Eastern country.

Carlson exclusively told the Daily Mail that shortly after the interview, Israeli officials confiscated his passport and hauled one of his colleagues off to an interrogation room.

'Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about,' Carlson told the Daily Mail.

'It was bizarre. We're now out of the country.'

Prior to the interview, Carlson posted a photo on X of himself and his business partner, Neil Patel, in front of Ben Gurion airport on Wednesday with the caption: 'Greetings from Israel.'

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt suggested in a now-deleted interview that "behind the scenes" he is "helping" Senator Ted Cruz to "take down" Tucker Carlson and helping Ben Shapiro "take down" Nick Fuentes.

"I need people on the right to take down Tucker Carlson -- so I'm trying to help Ted Cruz," Greenblatt revealed. "I need people on the right to take down Nick Fuentes -- so I'm trying to help people like Ben [Shapiro]," Greenblatt told Rabbi David Wolpe and a gathering at Sinai Temple in West Los Angeles on Saturday.

He also named Hasan Piker as one of his targets and said the ADL is doing the "same thing on the left."

Putin 'most popular leader in the world' - Tucker Carlson

RT

Russian President Vladimir Putin is the most popular leader in the world, American journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed, in an interview with RTVI US. Outside of Western Europe, Canada, and the "Anglo-sphere," it is almost impossible to meet someone who doesn't like Putin, Carlson told the network.

"He is the most popular leader in the world, by far," Carlson said, noting that the primary reason for Putin's global popularity is the fact that he has "put his own country's interests above his own in a lot of ways. In ways that Western leaders don't."

Asked if his perspective on Putin's worldview had changed after an interview with him in February 2024, Carlson said that he was surprised to realize that the Russian president "actually likes the West." And that he probably likes it "way more than anyone who would potentially replace Putin."

In his interview with RTVI US, Carlson also suggested that the US, Western Europe, and most of the industrialized world, are "in a decline phase" while Russia is experiencing a "spiritual revival" and is proving to be a prosperous country with "a sense of self-worth and a sense of purpose." He further proposed that this was one of the reasons the West "hates it so much" and wants to destroy it.

RTVI US is a subsidiary of RTVI (Russian Television International), a privately-funded Russian-language television network with headquarters in Moscow and New York.

Carlson told Germany's Bild, in July, that while Putin had been doing a "great job for Russia," Western leaders were failing their people.

"Your country is going down, Russia is going up. You should be mad at your own leaders. You are mad at Putin instead," he told the outlet. Carlson went on to suggest that German officials were attacking Putin and Russia to distract the public from domestic economic and migration issues. 

Tucker Carlson and the Resurrection of the 9/11 Truth Movement, Part I

Ron Unz | Unz Review

The twenty-fourth anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks passed with virtually no media attention this year, and that hardly surprised me.

However, I did discuss it to a limited extent in my own article last week, and in a couple of paragraphs I briefly summarized the enormous historic impact of those 2001 terrorist attacks:

During the last quarter-century, those attacks and their aftermath have entirely reshaped American society and our place in the world. Not only were they the greatest terrorist attack in all of human history, but they might have been greater in magnitude than the combined total of all such other terrorist attacks. Even that may severely understate their historic significance, given how dramatically they changed America and the rest of the world.

Three thousand Americans died that day and many billions of dollars of property were destroyed, but under Neocon influence the long series of American foreign wars set into motion cost our country many trillions of dollars and destroyed much of the Middle East, killing or displacing many millions of innocent civilians. The Patriot Act and other legislation severely restricted our own domestic civil liberties in ways that would have previously been considered unimaginable, and even something as simple as boarding a travel flight was completely transformed. Few events of the last one hundred years have had such a traumatic impact upon American society.

The passage of almost a full generation can easily reduce once huge stories to nearly forgotten ones, and I had originally expected media coverage to be minimal even under the best of circumstances. But this year, the sudden September 10th assassination of Charlie Kirk, the youthful 31-year-old CEO of Turning Point USA and one of America’s most influential conservative leaders, completely swept aside all other news stories during the days that followed.

Although I had only been minimally aware of Kirk and his activities, I soon learned that his popularity and stature had been enormous and he had been regarded as one of President Donald Trump’s most important political supporters. According to journalist Max Blumenthal, Kirk had been widely expected to eventually run for president, perhaps even as soon as the 2028 election. So in some respects his shocking, sudden death supposedly at the hands of a deranged lone gunman firing a rifle from a distance seemed to strongly echo aspects of the 1963 death of President John F. Kennedy, another charismatic, popular young political leader who had reached the White House at the age of 43, thus becoming the youngest president in American history.

As the 9/11 anniversary date approached, I’d originally expected it to be largely ignored by the media, and had planned to publish an article describing and bemoaning that situation.

Within a few years after the original 2001 attacks, the extremely suspicious aspects of the official 9/11 story presented by our government had inspired the creation of a large and energetic 9/11 Truth movement, which strongly challenged that narrative. But faced with the determined resistance of a bipartisan establishment and always ridiculed or ignored by the still overwhelmingly dominant mainstream media, that movement had gradually faded away over time, receiving less and less public attention, with its leading figures eventually departing the scene.

During the first decade or so after those 2001 events, I’d barely even been aware that anyone seriously disputed the official 9/11 narrative, and I’d paid little attention to the issue. But after eventually stumbling across a few anomalous items that suddenly kindled my suspicions, I had gradually discovered the strange, subterranean world of the 9/11 Truthers, whose extensive research findings I’d scarcely suspected. I later undertook an investigation of the topic, reading quite a number of the major books and convincing myself that those activists and researchers had made a strong, perhaps even a very compelling case that the story presented by the government was largely fraudulent.
