Tucker Gets In TESTY Exchange With BBC Anchor

[0:00] So are you saying he's a slave to Benjamin Netanyahu? [0:04] So I don't think it's as simple as he's under the control of Netanyahu. But you could summarize [0:12] it that way and you wouldn't be totally inaccurate. On Thursday, he called you low IQ, [0:17] a nut job, a fool. Also, he suggested you should see a good psychiatrist. [0:24] Are you going to continue to love him? As I've said, I feel sorry for him [0:30] as I do for all slaves. Tucker Carlson not only called President [0:35] Donald Trump a slave to Israel, which he obviously is. He also got into a rather testy exchange with [0:44] BBC anchor Victoria Derbyshire. And we're going to get to the details on that in just a moment. [0:49] But before we do, Cenk, do you think Trump is a slave to Israel? [0:54] Well, obviously. But to be fair, most of our politicians are. [0:59] True. So I agree with [1:01] everything Tucker said in that interview that was about 20 minutes long. [1:05] And what's really interesting is as you watch it, guys, I want you to notice [1:10] how the anchor is constantly trying to get Tucker, right? So she came in with a mentality, [1:16] I'm going to prove he's an anti-Semite and make sure he never criticizes Israel again. [1:22] Like it's so obvious and Tucker just dismantles her. [1:26] Now before we get to this anchor making passive aggressive anti-Semite claims against Tucker [1:32] Carlson, we need to talk a little more about this. Have you completely fallen out with him over this [1:38] war then? I haven't fallen out with him. I mean, I've known him for decades. I've always liked him. [1:44] And I think anyone who spent time with him likes him. I feel sorry for him as I do for all slaves. [1:49] He is not free in this moment at all to do what he thinks is best for himself or his country. [1:56] What do you mean? No, he's well, he's not free. And we learned that yesterday [1:59] when Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, clearly with relief and made its terms or most of its terms [2:07] public. And then that ceasefire ended within two hours because Israel intentionally violated the terms [2:13] by attacking not just southern Lebanon, but the city of Beirut. So are you saying he's a slave to [2:21] Benjamin Netanyahu? So I don't think it's as simple as he's under the control of Netanyahu. [2:28] But you could summarize it that way and you wouldn't be totally inaccurate. [2:32] I mean, he's clearly under the control of Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu and Mossad [2:38] were in the situation room in the days leading up to the US going to war with Iran on behalf of Israel. [2:48] Okay, Netanyahu is the one who just today declared that he is in talks with Vice President JD Vance [2:56] and members of our executive branch literally every single day to get updates on what we're [3:02] up to in the Middle East, how we're prosecuting this war against the Iranians. [3:05] Obviously, obviously, the federal government is under the control of the Israeli government. [3:13] And it's about time that Americans wake up to that reality and actually do something about it. [3:18] Because you don't live in a sovereign country when your president is controlled by a foreign leader. [3:22] And that's what's happening right now. That's my take on it. Cenk, your thoughts? [3:26] I think you're muted, Cenk. Unmuted there, yeah. Yeah, so look, this is one of those [3:38] trope tripwires. You know how the Iranians put the mines in the Strait of Hormuz so you can't get past it? [3:47] The Israelis put trope mines all around the politics of Israel so you can't get past it. [3:54] Every criticism triggers a trope. So for example, you say Big Pharma controls Congress, that's obvious. [4:02] They've given billions of dollars to the Congress and we can't negotiate drug prices, fine. [4:06] Big oil, big defense, fine, everybody's fine. The Israeli lobby is given to 94% of Congress. [4:12] They go to Trump. You can't say you're saying the Jews control. No, no, no, I didn't say that. [4:18] I said this lobby, like all other lobbies that are as large as them, controls Congress and [4:23] the president, which they're given over $300 million to. Trope anti-Semite, nonsense. [4:30] Yeah, I mean, okay, so we're going to get to the smears that this anchor tries to engage in [4:38] passive aggressively because, well, I mean, look, if you want to call someone an anti-Semite, [4:44] do it openly, clearly. Instead, she relied on some passive aggressive [4:49] ways of framing her questions, which we'll get to in just a minute. But later in the interview, [4:53] this BBC anchor, again, Victoria Derbyshire pretended as though critics of Israel are not [5:00] at all being penalized in the UK, which they definitely are. And I'm going to show you evidence [5:06] of it in just a minute. But first, take a look at this. [5:08] Well, Keir Starmer is every bit as enslaved as Donald Trump is. It is illegal. It is a crime [5:13] for which you can be arrested in Britain right now criticizing Israel. If you say you're for [5:18] Palestine action, you can be arrested. A lot of people have been arrested. So in other words, [5:21] it is not legal in Britain to criticize another country. And that tells you about Britain's [5:26] sovereignty. It doesn't have any. Its prime minister has no sovereignty. [5:29] Mr. Carlson, that is not true. And in terms of this war, I'm specifically asking. [5:33] Wait, I'm sorry, what is not true about that? [5:35] Sorry. Have people not been arrested [5:38] in Britain for criticizing Israel? They certainly have been. There's videotape a bit. [5:42] If I may, Palestine action is a prescribed group. It is banned. [5:47] Well, why is it banned? Now, the UK argues that it engages in terroristic activity while [5:55] defending the Israelis who actually engage in terroristic activity. But okay, I want to show [6:02] you who the so-called terrorists of this group happen to be. Take a look at this. [6:08] Armed with pens, paper, and a lot of patience, thousands of activists staged a sit-down protest [6:18] in support of Palestine action, a group banned in July 2025 under the Terrorism Act. [6:24] The situation we have at the moment is absurd. I think it was absurd when they arrested the people [6:32] before. We've got a 1,000% rise in the number of terrorists in this country just based on [6:40] old people being arrested for holding a sign. According to the Metropolitan Police, [6:46] 523 people were arrested for showing support for prescribed organization. [6:52] Yeah, it's a lot of elderly people holding signs, getting arrested. They don't look like terrorists to me. [6:57] Guys, when we started TYT, everyone assumed that the hard part would be figuring out their equipment.

[8:24] So Tucker Carlson was absolutely right about how people get penalized, arrested, treated poorly [8:36] by their own government and law enforcement for having the audacity to speak out against war crimes [8:42] and atrocities committed by the Israeli government and military. The fact that the BBC anchor pretended [8:48] like this reality doesn't exist tells you everything you need to know about this particular program. [8:53] I wouldn't trust it. She doesn't live in reality or she just flat out decides it's okay to lie to [8:58] her own audience about the facts on the ground. Cenk, back to you. [9:02] Yeah, so I thought that was so telling, Anna, because she's like, what you mean? [9:06] It's outrageous. Wait, hold on. But did they get arrested for criticizing Israel? They did. [9:12] That's a fact. So why do you want to cover up the news? Isn't that weird, guys? And she's emotional about it, too. [9:20] Totally, totally. And like, okay, so it may be in Britain, they don't have the same kind of money [9:25] in politics as we do. But in America, anybody can buy a US politician. What they're saying is, [9:31] you're allowed to criticize everyone buying a US politician except the state of Israel. And [9:37] these are not people working for the Israeli government or their PR department. [9:43] These are anchors on BBC. And then, of course, in America, it's even worse. [9:47] So why are they weirdly protecting Israel and literally lying while they're doing it? [9:54] It's super strange, guys. [9:56] Finally, we turn to the passive aggressive moment where clearly she's trying to [10:02] accuse Tucker Carlson of being an anti-Semite. And he provides a master class on how to handle [10:09] these types of smears. Take a look. Pretty much everything that you've said [10:14] in our conversation, Tucker Carlson, you have put at the door of the Israeli government. [10:18] Now, to some people, that will be evidence that you are anti-Semitic. You are anti-Jewish. [10:23] I know, I'm very anti-Semitic. Well, first of all, the state of Israel does not speak for all Jews [10:29] at all, despite its claims. It does not. There are many, many Jews, many of whom I know, [10:34] who don't think the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu speaks for them. [10:38] No, I wasn't suggesting that. I wasn't suggesting that. [10:41] Hold on, hold on. No, because I wasn't suggesting that. [10:43] Of course you were suggesting that. What I was suggesting was that a lot of the things [10:46] that you discussed today- I understand. I've been in this business longer than you, [10:47] and I understand what a slur looks like. And you're attempting to call me an anti-Semite [10:52] in a passive aggressive way. Some people would say that. Well, I'm responding to your slur [10:56] and saying that it's untrue. It does not apply to me. Doubt us there are anti-Semites who don't [11:00] like Israel. I'm not an anti-Semite. I don't hate Israel. The Israeli government, this is documented, [11:05] and I saw it personally, steered the United States into a war that hurts the United States [11:09] and the world. I'm offended by that. I didn't want it, and I'm mad about it now. [11:13] I have every right to feel that way. That does not make me an anti-Semite, [11:16] despite your insinuation. So Tucker Carlson says, [11:20] I'm not an anti-Semite. I don't hate Israel. [11:23] I do hate Israel, and I'm also not an anti-Semite. Israel is not representative of all Jewish people. [11:28] And in fact, the actions of that government and the current culture within the majority [11:36] of citizens living in Israel is not representative of Jewish people or Judaism worldwide, okay? [11:43] You can hate a foreign country. It doesn't mean that you're a bad person, [11:48] as long as you can explain why it is that you don't have an affinity for that country. And for me, [11:53] it's the fact that they steal land. They have an expansionist policy that requires slaughtering [12:00] people, displacing people. They're incredibly entitled. They think that they're entitled to [12:05] our money, our soldiers. Yeah, I've got no love for Israel. [12:09] That doesn't mean that I'm an anti-Semite. I don't have hatred toward Jews. I have hatred toward [12:14] the current society, okay, culture, government, and military of Israel. And that's totally fine. [12:21] I don't think that makes you a hateful person. But Cenk, what do you think? [12:24] Yeah, yeah, a couple things here. So when the Saudis chopped up a Washington Post columnist, [12:31] I hated the Saudi government. Did that mean that I hated the Saudi people? Who would be that irrational? [12:38] And especially if you're on the left and you think there's no differences between the races and [12:43] religions and backgrounds. Nobody hates the Saudi people. We hate the Saudi government for [12:48] dismembering a person. Really, that's complicated. It's not complicated. [12:53] There are people who are pretending that that's what it means are pretending. [12:58] They're lying to you on purpose to protect Israel, okay? So number two, [13:04] I'm gonna give you a stunning fact. Did you know that 63% of Jewish Americans say they love Israel, [13:13] but are against the current Israeli government. They're opposed to the current Israeli government. [13:19] 63%, the great majority of Jewish Americans. That's a lot of anti-Semites, as you would say. [13:26] Yeah, so are 63% of Jews in America anti-Semites? That's insanity, insanity, right? But the pro-Israel [13:35] crowd doesn't care. They don't care what Jewish Americans think. They don't care what anybody thinks. [13:40] All they're gonna do is anti-Semite, anti-Semite. And you see it here with their trained dogs, the news [13:45] anchors. So I'm gonna get back to that because I have a controversial opinion on that. That'll make [13:49] her head explode. So you can look forward to that in a second. And by the way, I'm gonna go to London [13:53] in June. Come, interview me, see how it turns out for you. Okay, so now the last point that's [13:59] important before I get to the controversy. She said, it sounds like you're saying that [14:05] Israel's behind everything. Hence, you must be an anti-Semite. Now, hold on, hold on. [14:11] Nobody said that Israel's behind higher drug prices or oil subsidies or your flat tire. [14:21] Nobody's talking about that. No, we're talking about foreign policy. And they were specifically [14:25] talking about the war with Iran. Well, Israel is behind that. That's actually an acknowledged [14:31] fact. And Israel's behind a lot of things. So is Big Pharma. Big Pharma controls our drug policy. [14:38] And if you're in the middle of a conversation about drugs, you're like, well, Big Pharma controls that [14:43] and Big Pharma controls that. Nobody would go, my God, you anti-pharmacist, right? No, of course, [14:50] when you buy politicians, you control that sector of politics. So Israel has bought our politicians [14:57] to control that sector of politics. These are not controversial opinions. These are very normal, [15:02] benign opinions. But when it comes to Israel, all of the television anchors, [15:08] everybody in mainstream media has trained to flip out, to feign outrage, to smear any opponent of [15:17] Israel as an anti-Semite and say things like, all right, so you're saying that Israel's behind [15:22] everything. Everything, you're anti-Semite, all right, all right. Well, so why the histrionics? [15:28] And now the opinion they'll find controversial. Honestly, there's an effort to intimidate [15:36] everyone in media by a group of very small Jewish Americans and Jews across the world who act like [15:44] thugs, okay? So now they don't represent the overwhelming, 98% of Jews are just plumbers and [15:50] dentists and have their regular jobs and nobody's coordinating with them and they didn't do anything [15:55] wrong at all. Right, it's just that this small group is giving the rest of the Jewish population [16:00] a really bad name, actually, right? That's right. [16:03] Yeah. But don't tell me they don't exist. [16:07] They stalk us, they try to get Anna's husband fired, they try to hurt our business. [16:13] They try to, and I go to Muslim American events and almost every Muslim can tell you a story of [16:18] what's happening once they slightly criticized Israel and how somehow some guy pops out of the [16:23] woods and threatens their jobs, their careers, their well being. So what a lot of other Jewish [16:30] Americans and others don't know is that there is like this reign of terror. [16:34] And especially in media, if anyone slightly criticized Israel, [16:40] they were definitely going to get fired until about two years ago. [16:43] And even now, even now they've all been trained. Remember your whole life and your whole career [16:49] is on the line. You better protect Israel. Otherwise, we're gonna call you an anti-Semite [16:55] and destroy you. Are there people like that? Yes, definitely. There's a whole cottage industry of [17:01] them. And that's why all of our news reporters and anchors don't do any news reporting. They're like, [17:07] Israel's great. Israel's the greatest, greatest dude. Everybody shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. [17:12] Because they're so afraid that their careers and their lives are gonna be ruined. [17:16] So is it time to have an honest conversation about that? Or are we gonna pretend that these [17:21] thugs don't exist when they most definitely do exist? Absolutely. I like the honest conversations. [17:27] And I'm not interested in being a mouthpiece or being someone who's controlled by a group of [17:35] thugs or a small mob of people who make demands that I lied to my audience. [17:40] That's never gonna happen regardless of the threats lodged against us. [17:44] Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. [17:47] Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
