Before I get into how Yaron Brook feels about Tucker Carlson, I want to give you an idea about what Tucker Carlson might actually be as a media personality. He was interviewed by C-SPAN anchor Brian Lamb back in the fall of 2018 and Mr. Lamb essentially asked Mr. Carlson about how Carlson would describe his own politics and here is that interview here:
"Tucker Carlson talked about his book, Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution."
From C-SPAN
They have part of Carlson's past career in this interview. His early media career goes back to the mid 1990s. Back then, he was a columnist for the neoconservative Weekly Standard. He was there for the next 10-15 years, before Barack Obama becomes President of the United States and when the Tea Party wave hits in 2009-10, he joins FOX News as 1 of their commentators and anchors.
My point here is Tucker Carlson, goes from an establishment, neoconservative Republican, in philosophy, to more of a conservative-libertarian, who is constantly bashing neoconservatism and Middle Eastern wars of the 2000s and the so-called War On Terror... to by the time the Tea Party is essentially over (thanks to Donald Trump) to being 1 of Donald Trump's most loyal supporters, who would probably literally kiss Donald Trump's ass in public, (if it always kept Trump on his side) just to show how loyal Tucker is to Donald.
If Yaron Brook wants to call Tucker Carlson a "Conservative, "Christian Nationalist", "Christian Conservative", he obviously has that right. But and I never met Tucker Carlson personally, (I see too much of him in the media) but I'm thinking that if you privately asked him what his politics are, he wouldn't be able to answer that for you. As with Brian Lamb, he might give you a short history lesson about where he's been on certain key issues... but I look at Carlson the way I now look at Secretary of State Marco Rubio: he is whoever he feels he needs to be, to get through the current political and cultural movement in the country. To put it simply: Tucker and Marco are political chameleons, not men of principle.
