This “interview” is good insight into how Leftist pseudo-journalist propagandists operate. Smith throws every possible smear and innuendo at Tucker Carlson, and then repeatedly talks over him and interrupts him as he tries to explain. Carlson does, however, ultimately get a chance to defend himself, which is more than the likes of Smith usually afford to their targets, most of whom are not offered even this much of an opportunity to respond to their defamation.

Leftist ‘journalist’ Ben Smith tries and fails to tag Tucker Carlson with ‘racism’ smear
………………………………….
Good for Tucker Carlson! He just shredded this bs from Ben Smith.
Disgusting attempts to smear Carlson–just sickening stuff.
gregbeetham says
Smith tries to hang the ‘Replacement Theory’ on Tucker repeatedly seemingly without the penny dropping that it originated from the left in the first place, typical lefty hypocrisy.
gravenimage says
This is true, Greg. This idea did not originate from the right at all, and is regularly touted on the left as a goal and good thing.
Wellington says
Just as the Left, gravenimage, pushes CRT theory, then denies it does, it also pushes replacement theory, and then when called out on all this crap, as Tucker Carlson to his credit does—and so many others like millions of parents nationwide, the Left then accuses such person of being a bigot and a liar.
Hard to get lower or stupider or more mendacious than the Left. Deuce difficult if not thrice difficult. And thus demonstrating again that it is not Islam that is the greatest enemy of the West but rather Western Leftism, the enemy within, which never plays by fair rules or with any real knowledge.
James Lincoln says
Well said, Wellington. My compliments.
gravenimage says
So true.

What ‘theory’ ? Replacing white Americans is the plan. They tend to be Republicans and they tend to be for freedom and for ‘constitutionalism’.
Activists-posing-as-journalists like Ben Smith want a one-party state similar to that of communist China with strict compliance to the party line and no one able to step out of line.
People like Ben Smith talk about ‘preserving our democracy, but there is no true democracy without a vigorous, outspoken opposition.
Ben Smith doesn’t want a vigorous, outspoken opposition.

Quote: “What ‘theory’ ? Replacing white Americans is the plan. They tend to be Republicans and they tend to be for freedom and for ‘constitutionalism’”
Someone mentioned it was a Lefty theory; maybe it was on the Bongino Report and it didn’t come from Republicans, did you read what I wrote?
The rest of what you wrote I agree with of course.
Keith O says
Ah, the look in Ben Smith’s eyes when he realised he was pushing his own wet turds up a hill with a pointed stick.
Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh this morning.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
An interview should approximate a conversation, in which one person speaks, then remains silent while the other person speaks, and the two take turns speaking, each prompting the other. Here, the interviewer asks a questions, then the interviewee starts to answer, and before he is done with his answer, the interviewer interrupts him with another question.
It is as if the interviewer (one Ben Smith, whose name I know only from the headline) has been given instructions to ask questions from a prepared list within a prescribed number of minutes. None of what the interviewer says seems to be prompted by anything the interviewee says. That is the opposite of what happens in a real conversation. Also, the interviewer is better miked than the interviewee and is easier to hear than his interlocutor during the time (what proportion of the duration of the interview?) when they are both talking simultaneously.
Given that the only participation by the interviewer is to pose questions, a better format would be to give the interviewee the written list of questions and have him read off and answer them.
James Lincoln says
A very accurate analysis, Mark.

The minute I hear the word “Racist!” I know it’s spewing forth from the mouth of a racist.

It’s a waste of time talking to these self righteous, liberal types. I don’t even know what they want themselves and when you argue your standpoint they never seem to respond to it. They’re just busy trying to label you a racist or Islamophobe if you think there’s too much immigration from North Africa and the Middle East. And if you confront them and ask them, but how many immigrants is too much they always say something like, “I don’t want to put a number on that, bla bla bla”. I never talk to them about these things anymore and I don’t have to defend or explain myself to these idiots. You know here have been studies in America that show white liberals are much more likely to steal and never give to charity, whereas white conservatives (often Christians) are much less likely to steal but will give generously to charities etc. I just let them run their big mouths with empty words and false claims. It’s becomming clearer and clearer what they’re all about…
Infidel says
When Tucker just got his show in 2017, after Trump got sworn in, in his early weeks, he spent a lot of time debating Leftists. He had, among others, the likes of Adam Schitt, Eric Swalwell, Max Booth. They might have been engaging conversations (he has had those w/ people he disagreed w/, who haven’t been as demented, such as an interview by Ben Shapiro) but usually bombed. Once he ended the practice of interviewing such intellectual lightweights, his show instantly became a lot more watchable
I’m gonna pass on this one, since Ben Smith hardly provides an intellectual battle here.
Andrew Blackadder says
Ben WHO?… Never heard of the prick….Now I dont want to hear about him.
Old Joe himself mentioned ”replacement” when he said that soon,in a generation or so, those of us who are of white European Stock will be a minority in America…. AND THAT WILL BE A GOOD THING….. He said it, I didnt…
This wee whitey soy boy who claims to be a journalist needs to go back to school and learn how to be a journalist because asking the person a question and then talking over the person answering is not ethical.
gravenimage says
Yep, Andrew. Here it is:
“Joe Biden “ Whites will be an ABSOLUTE minority in America – that’s a source of our strength”

Increasingly, the countries of the world are on fire. Every single day a new one. And this is what they talk about as important? All of us, We are all being led by the insane. There is no other way to describe it. If you can, convince me I’m wrong..
Egor says
No you are not wrong. The inmates are in charge of the House. What is sad is that when the staff retake control nothing happens. How many of these people were indicted or charged under the previous administration? Would I be wrong if I said none. Get rid of people like Mitch McConnell. He is an integral part of the swamp. Get rid of the top ten layers of all Bureaucracies as they are, in a great number of cases, Leftist and are an integral part of the problem. As far as Smith was concerned, he just wasn’t listening to Tucker’s responses. He was more interested in his little list of “slam dunks”.
tgusa says
You are not wrong either.
gregbeetham says
Unfortunately you are correct, anyone who deliberately chooses to remain ignorant or even worse isn’t totally ignorant (how could anyone with a few working synapses fail to notice the daily atrocities committed by Muslims all over the world, yes they aren’t reported by the MSM but those in office have access to intelligence we don’t get) but then deliberately place their national populations in jeopardy by allowing members of this toxic death cult to invade and take up residence.
So yes, they are either insane or are deliberately incompetent in their responsibilities to the point you could call it dereliction of duty, or desertion, which carries the death penalty (or it did once).
tgusa says
And neither are you.
Johnny B says
I agree, it’s all around us now, not just in American politics.It’s the same here in Europe and I see it in the people I encounter and work with on a daily basis. I am Christian, so that helps me making sense of it all. Basically what is going on IMO is that Satan has send lose his army of angels to complete his plan. Sounds crazy 🙂 Maybe so, but you can read all about it if you really study the Bible which was written some 2000-3500 years ago. If you already know the Bible, I’m sure you agree with me, that it pretty much explains everything that is going on in the world right now..
tgusa says
I have a good friend that isn’t Christian, at least at this time he doesn’t identify as a Christian. He believes in the creator of the universe (which I point out to him sounds a lot like…God) Even he says that we need to bring back Christian morality and values. Yeah, a non-believer telling me that.
Melc says
Poor Tuker asked to appear to give his views then constantly interrupted. What kind of idiot is the interviewer. He needs to learn basic interviewing techniques!
Infidel says
That’s how Leftists interview. Which is why people on the Right ought to decline – not b’cos they’re afraid to debate, but b’cos they won’t be given a fair chance to explain their views

Alfredo says
The Leftards are not interested in a genuine dialogue as in di, two way. They’re only interested in smearing and slandering anyone who doesn’t submit to their cult like ideology.
Replacement theory was promoted by the Leftard to begin with, and now they want to tag the Right as racist.
These are the same tactics used by the Muhammadans all the time. They accuse the “Infidels” of racism and Islamophobia for pointing out facts. While practicing themselves what they accuse others of doing.
That is called classic projection.
Duh. Dufus. You deliberately leave the door open and let illegal aliens use their “promise to appear” forms as ID. Not only that. Bus and even fly the intercepted migrants to red states?!
As in the case of Florida. That’s the reason Governor De Santis is saying he will bus those poor people to Delaware. Uncle Joe’s home state.
Great way to keep control of who’s coming to the country. The brazen mendacity and duplicity of the Leftards is transparent.
The reason way the Biden administration paid contractors to leave the fence unfinished is not an error of omission, but commission.
What the Demon Rats wanted from the beginning is demographic replacement, because they hope that the new arrivals will vote for them.
So the Open Society of uncle George Soros & Co. are diligently working towards the replacement of the White stock in the USA with POCs.
And in typical fashion the bought and paid for Leftards accuse anyone of pointing out the facts as racists. It is a classic catch 22. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you happen to be born White, you’re a racist.
That’s what the wretched CRT is all about. Born White? Inherently Racist.
Born a POC? Cannot be racist. The patent absurdity of this “theory” is quite obvious. Because that’s what it is. A theory. A divisive, destructive, racist, hateful and monstrous lie.
That’s why that activist disguised as journalist wanted to slander Tucker Carlson as a racist. But he failed.
Because in fact it is those wicked and hateful people the real racists.
tgusa says
If the leftards are looking for an army among groups of people who are right now running for their lives from the places they lived in and created to defend their leftard crazy destructive ideology they are looking in the wrong place. They can have their delusions, we cant stop that, but leave the rest of us in the USA and the world, out of it.
KHarn says
Another tactic is for “journalists” to make a short political speech disguised as a question.
gravenimage says
Yes–we see this all the time.
Shalom says
Poor Tucker, you’d have to be deranged to not see how sincere he is. Lefties and antisemites suffer from this total derangement syndrome.
