He also claims that when Germany went to war with Russia, the reason that all that slaughter of soldiers and civilians occurred was because they were unprepared. Apparently, he has never heard of the Generalplan Ost The Generalplan Ost (German pronunciation: [ɡenəˈʁaːlˌplaːn ˈɔst]; English: Master Plan for the East), abbreviated GPO, was Nazi Germany's plan for the genocide, extermination and large-scale ethnic cleansing of Slavs, Eastern European Jews, and other indigenous peoples of Eastern Europe categorized as "Untermenschen" in Nazi ideology.[7][5] The campaign was a precursor to Nazi Germany's planned colonisation of Central and Eastern Europe by Germanic settlers, and it was carried out through systematic massacres, mass starvations, chattel labour, mass rapes, child abductions, and sexual slavery[8][9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost#:~:text=Approximately 3.3 million Soviet POWs,labour and other occupation policies..

Another claim of Cooper's is that that by not accepting the invasion of Poland, Churchill's obstinacy led to WW2. Apparently, because Cooper believes that Hitler could be trusted to keep his word not to commit any future aggression.

I've looked again at the interview with Darryl Cooper. And it's obvious how generally dishonest he is. For example, he claims that the general and false view is that the Germans turned into demons for a few years under the Nazis and then reverted to being normal people again. Why would anyone accept the scholarship of someone who offers up a straw man like that?

Whatever the final status of Churchill's debt, Cooper claimed that his opposition to Germany was due, at least in part, to pressure from unnamed financiers. Where is the evidence for that? This is the kind of allegation that anti-semites resort to. And it's just beyond bizarre that Carlson wouldn't have asked Cooper about this. I I've looked up Ruediger Overmanns and see that his specialty was Germany casualties in WW2. Can you direct me to where he absolved the Germans of the intent to commit mass slaughter of prisoners before the war but rather that it was a case of bad logistics?

Odd, I had just read about Fred Leuchter, another holocaust denier, and I recalled this fact: "Leuchter's report also made claims about the capacity of the crematoria, although he admitted he had no experience with cremation technology. When questioned in court, Leuchter admitted he had never seen a document by the Waffen-SS Commandant for construction issued when the crematoria were constructed, which estimated they had a 24-hour capacity of 4,756 people, more than 30 times Leuchter's estimate of 156.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_A._Leuchter15]"

Please. Such an obvious question to ask. Particularly given his disapproval of Churchill's continuing the war. And according to that article he didn't just claim that FDR should not have entered the war but that he chose the wrong side. And he didn't say that Churchill owed money to the banks, rather that Churchill was in thrall to the "financiers". "That's not the way banking is talked about But it is the way anti-semites refer to Jewish bankers. Nor does he specify what financial interests would be served by the UK standing up to Germany. And David Lough, who wrote a book about Churchill's financial problems, makes no mention of any such pressure. Obviously, anyone like Cooper with those views ought to be asked where they stood on the reality of the Holocaust. And, by the way, according to this, that 4 million in debt was in 2019 dollars. Not what it was back then. "In “No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money,” David Lough explains how Winston Churchill projected a seemingly extravagant image of wealth despite living on the edge of crippling financial debt. Churchill accumulated a debt equivalent to $4 million in today’s dollars by the 1930s." https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/09/churchill-bad-at-finances.html

. I watched the Nazi portion of the interview and not one hard question from Carlson. Carlson did interrupt a lot. Mainly to praise Cooper.

This is, of course, extremely disingenuous. Obviously, the question crying to be asked, the elephant in the room, was What is Coopers views on the reality of the Holocaust. How could someone not ask that question as a follow up to the claims about the mass slaughter of POWs and such. Yet somehow, Tucker Carlson managed not to ask that question. So what do we know about Darryl Cooper "In McKenzie’s recent post about “leaning into politics,” the Substack co-founder enthusiastically and prominently recommended a lesser-known Substacker, Darryl Cooper, as among the “up-and-comers” in political writing. Cooper’s podcast featured a complimentary interview with the white-nationalist magazine editor Greg Johnson—who, incidentally, published some of Hanania’s pseudonymous, more explicitly racist writings. Cooper has also used his personal Twitter account to claim that “FDR chose the wrong side in WW2.” (That tweet and the interview with Johnson were subsequently deleted.) https://archive.ph/6HyOc#selection-1211.0-1211.590 Hiding his tracks much? In addition, in the interview he claims that Churchill was under the thumbs of "financiers". Anyone with an understanding of how anti-semites work knows what "financiers" is a code word for. And the absurdity of taking Hitler's words at face value is another strong piece of evidence that Cooper is in the tank for the Reichsfuhrer.

I agree.

What you think is a smoking gun really a water pistol. Got any actual evidence to prove antisemitism was behind the choice of Walz instead of Shapiro?

When did the Russians start sending money to Tenet and when did Lauren Chen turn against Trump?

The Wannsee Conference was where the extermination of the Jews was planned by the Nazis. Cooper claimed the extermination of the Jews by the Nazis wasn't planned. And you're the party who accused Democrats of being horrible people. I think you might want to look closer to home to identify at least one horrible person.

Carlson actually praised this Holocaust denier: "Carlson did not push back on Cooper’s Holocaust claims and praised him repeatedly, telling him, “I think you are the most important popular historian working in the United States today.” https://m.jpost.com/international/article-818792

What "context" are you referring to?

Nonsense. There's a huge amount of evidence about the systematic extermination of the Jews by the Nazis. Start with the Wannsee conference.

Even weirder if Trump wasn't triggered.

What are the odds that Harris describes Trump or his policies as being weird during the debate? What are the odds that this mention triggers Trump?

Now if only there was an upcoming debate...

If it's laughable, the joke is on you. You brought up the issue of fuel prices, not me. I do agree with you that it's a deflection. It's your deflection, not mine.

Advertisers aren't dictating what one is allowed to hear and say. They're trying to sell goods and/or services. If they think a venue would hurt their sales, why should they do it?

You're the one who brought it up as an example of a real issue. Not me. It is to laugh.

Another false apologetic defense on behalf of the Confederacy. There was no mass migration of blacks north after the war. So no shortage. The mass migration of blacks from the South to the North , known as the Great Migration, only began in about 1910. Great Migration (African American) From the earliest U.S. population statistics in 1780 until 1910, more than 90% of the African-American population lived in the American South,[6][7][8] making up the majority of the population in three Southern states, namely Louisiana (until about 1890[9]), South Carolina (until the 1920s[10]), and Mississippi (until the 1930s[11]). But by the end of the Great Migration, just over half of the African-American population lived in the South, while a little less than half lived in the North and West.[12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Migration_(African_American)

Thanks for sharing your anti-semitism with us. However Israel's brutal war against the Palestinians is characterized, Israel is a country, not a religion. Being a Jew does not make one complicit in Israel's policies.

Well, you just misleadingly claimed that it was a real issue that fuel prices are 50% higher.

Deflecting much? And for what it's worth, your 50% figure is false. Unless you're comparing prices during the covid pandemic.,
