Finally, an episode about Tucker Carlson—and at an auspicious time, as his influence on the right seems only to have grown in the first year of Trump's second term. To help us understand him, we turned to journalist Jason Zengerle, who first crossed paths with Tucker in the last, halcyon days of magazine journalism before cable news and the internet, and now has written Hated By All the Right People, a book that tells two intertwined stories: the life of Tucker Carlson, and the changes in the media that he's navigated so deftly (despite some low points along the way). This conversation takes you from his adolescence to his early fame writing for The Weekly Standard and Talk to his recent interview with Nick Fuentes, and all the phases and stages of Tucker's sad trajectory toward anti-semitism and conspiracy-mongering.Sources:Jason Zengerle, <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/808029/hated-by-all-the-right-people-by-jason-zengerle/">Hated By All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind</a> (2026)Andrew Marantz, "<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/11/11/the-tucker-carlson-road-show">The Tucker Carlson Roadshow</a>," New Yorker, Nov 1, 2024...and don't forget to subscribe to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/knowyourenemy">Know Your Enemy on Patreon</a> for access to all of our bonus episodes!
