Once He Was 'Just Asking Questions.' Now Tucker Carlson Is the Question.

Last month, Tucker Carlson’s genial interview with the white nationalist Nick Fuentes detonated a bomb that further fractured the Trump-era conservative movement he once helped galvanize. This month, Mr. Carlson decided to escape the wreckage for weeks of bird hunting in Maine, South Dakota, Nebraska and Southwest Florida.

During three hours of interviews driving to and from a quail hunting site outside Fort Myers, Mr. Carlson was by turns indignant, reflective and seething — and thoroughly unrepentant for having roiled the conservative movement with the interview, or for his own escalating attacks on those who support Israel.

“Israel does not matter,” he said from behind the steering wheel, casually contradicting the view of Mr. Trump and every president before him, while his two spaniels sat in the back seat. “It’s a country the size of what, Maryland? It has a population of nine million. It has no resources. It’s not strategically important. In fact, it’s a strategic liability.”

Mr. Carlson expressed bafflement over the reaction to his session with Mr. Fuentes. He said he did not understand what was so problematic about his guest, beyond the fact that the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, had depicted Mr. Fuentes as antisemitic just as he had done to Mr. Carlson.
