Tucker Carlson is insane. That's not exactly breaking news, but the Fox News host gave still more evidence of his tenuous grasp on reality on his August 22 show.
In a segment dealing with the legal woes of Amish farmer Amos Miller, Carlson suggested that the Biden administration wanted to add "endocrine-disrupting chemicals" to milk in order to make children Transgender.
Miller has had long-standing disputes with the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dating back to the Obama administration. He currently owes more that $300,000 in fines for violations of food safety laws, resulting from sales of unpasteurized milk and uninspected meat and poultry.
Carlson and guest Jeremy Loffredo of the far-right website Rebel News supported Miller, with Carlson stating that "they're against anything that's wholesome and edifying and that makes you stronger and healthier and are in favor of anything that diminishes you and makes you more dependent."
The Biden administration is going after Miller because "food without endocrine-disrupting chemicals must be eliminated immediately," Carlson continued.
He also suggested that the lack of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Miller's food was a reason the FDA and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are going after the farm, even though the concept of GMOs is completely unrelated to the complaints against Miller.
In response, Loffredo noted that Miller doesn't use "any gasoline or any fertilizer." He said that those two things "have become very expensive, because of Biden's policies in regards to the war in Ukraine and Russia," and the Biden administration is "coming after him for it."
"Maybe if he promises to put more chemicals in the milk that turn kids Trans, they'll lay off," Carlson replied.
Earlier this year, Carlson noted that testosterone levels are dropping among men in the US. He used the observation to promote his documentary film entitled The End of Men.
Urologists usually attribute the decline in testosterone to a number of factors, including increases in average weight, dietary changes, lack of exercise, and possible environmental toxins, but Carlson had another theory: the lack of sunshine reaching testicles.
"If you want to optimize and take it [your testosterone] to another level, expose yourself to red-light therapy," a guest on Carlson's show said. "It's testicle tanning, but it's also full-body red-light therapy."
