Sorry, There Isn’t a Seat At the Table For you

(Originally published 11/5/25)

We have arrived at a place in this country where mainstreaming neo-Nazis is politically/socially palatable on the right. Likewise on the left, we are staring down the barrel of an Islamo-Marxist becoming the next mayor of our country’s largest city, a city that also boasts the second most populous Jewish community in the world (that being New York City). These are troubling warning signs to anyone paying attention. Have you been paying attention to what lies in plain sight?

Last week, the odious Tucker Carlson hosted Neo-Nazi, ‘Groyper’, and self-admitted incel Nick Fuentes on his show, The Tucker Carlson Show. Ben Shapiro offered a stern takedown by criticizing Fuentes’s Hitler/Stalin admiration, his influence among the GOP in attracting alienated young white men and the lack of affiliation to MAGA insofar as Fuentes is not a true Conservative, and not America First.

Platforming controversial guests has become a feature and not a bug for Tucker Qatar-alson. Within just the last year alone he has platformed the likes of Darryl Cooper, a pseudo-historian who has likened Winston Churchill as the ‘chief villain’ of WWII and dabbled in Holocaust distortion and revisionism as evidenced by his past tweets. Tucker offered little (if any) pushback to Cooper’s views and dubbed him, “the most important popular historian” upon introduction.

Lest we forget Tucker also interviewed Vladimir Putin from inside Moscow, where he amplified Russian propaganda talking points as if the Kremlin had re-arranged them on his behalf ahead of the interview. Carlson kicked off the interview by providing Putin an uninterrupted 30-minute window to lecture; downplaying any notion that Ukraine’s sovereignty was valid. He called Ukraine a “Bolshevik invention.” Putin cynically claimed that the invasion was due to NATO expansion; none of which was questioned by Carlson who allowed Putin to dominate the conversation and promote his narrative.

A US DOJ investigation found that Russian-linked entities funded right-wing influencers, with Carlson’s content flagged in internal discussions as “overt shilling” for Rhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tucker-carlson-americans-right-to-decide-who-you-hate-1234789196/ussia.

FARA filings show Qatar paid Lumen8 Advisors $180,000/month to arrange media placements, including Carlson’s interview of the Qatari PM. Based on a May 2025 report from the Qatari embassy, this fee was paid via an intermediary but stopped short of producing an actual ledger to show direct payment to Lumen8 or Qatar to Carlson himself. This of course gives Carlson plausible deniability.

Last but certainly not least and related to the prior list of deviants we have Carlson interviewing the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in July 2025 where he (again) offered minimal pushback in allowing Pezeshkian to frame Iran as a victim of Western aggression and denial of nuclear weapon aspirations as “Haram” or forbidden.

Is it any surprise that Tucker’s main investor is Iranian American Omeed Malik? Malik — a former Bank of America executive and founder of 1789 Capital — invested $15 million in seed capital into Tucker’s media venture (Last Country, Inc) in October 2023. That investment essentially bought Tucker’s soul and the false bravado he parades as patriotism. It is no shock given this development that Carlson’s stance on Iran and its allies has taken a noticeably softer stance (to say the least).

Are we noticing a pattern here? The platforming of malicious actors is not the core issue. Even more concerning is Tucker’s role as a mouthpiece for foreign governments — Russia, Qatar, or Iran — whenever it serves his financial interests.

Aside from Carlson’s choice of guests, can anyone forget the Joker like maniacal laugh and crazed performance he put on during Charlie Kirk’s memorial service where his eulogy included comparing Kirk’s assassination to the crucifixion of Jesus? It was as if he had channeled Heath Ledger himself in that performance. It was a skin-crawling thing to watch.

“I can picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking, ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.”

Ah yes, at every turn it’s those plotting Jews. Let’s find a way to link it back to Charlie Kirk’s assassination! Even Fuentes himself found it too much. And when you’ve turned off your Neo-Nazi boyfriend, you know it’s gone too far.

“Dude, when Tucker Carlson got up at Charlie Kirk’s funeral … and said: ‘I’m really sick of these f***ing hummus-eating, hook-nose, money-changing, Christ-killing Jews…’ I thought that was overkill!”
(Note: Carlson never said this; Fuentes was trolling and hyperbolizing.)

Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation publicly defended Carlson after his Fuentes interview claiming, “the venomous coalition attacking [Carlson] are sowing division… their attempt to cancel him will fail.” Starting in June 2024 — months after Omeed Malik’s seed funding — Heritage began spending about $75,000 per episode, totaling $1.2M to sponsor Carlson’s show.

Despite Roberts later admitting his initial video was, “a mistake made with the best intentions” and apologized “especially to his Jewish friends” let’s not kid ourselves, this was not a simple mistake it was a choice.

Heritage analyzed the trends and concluded that figures like Tucker and Fuentes could attract more voters. They made a deliberate choice to support them. The Heritage Foundation is highly influential in shaping Republican policy since the Reagan era. Roughly 64% or nearly two-thirds of Heritage recommendations have been adopted by Trump.

These are troubling signs, and it is a much bigger deal that goes beyond just Tucker. Start to ask yourself, “is there a seat at the table for you?” And I can’t say with conviction “yes” and mean it or expect that to be true in 6 months from now, let alone during the next election cycle. We are in an ideological battle — one we cannot afford to lose. In a world of red and blue tables and chairs, I refuse to shrink and conform myself to sit at either table if I am not wanted.

I’ll cover the non duchenne-smiling, Jew hating, western civilization hating, Islamo-Marxist Zohran Mamdani in a follow-up article where we’ll converge again within the horseshoe theory.
