If you haven't been following conservative media for a long time, you might not know that there have actually been many eras of Tucker Carlson. He launched his career in print journalism before landing under the bright lights of Fox News in 2009. That's where he developed his super power – giving his audience exactly what they want, and feeding some of their worst impulses again and again under the glossy veneer of respectability. New Yorker staff writer Jason Zengerle first met Carlson back in the 1990s and has been following his career ever since. His new book, "Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind," examines Carlson's evolution and the media's. We spoke with Zengerle about Carlson's past and what his shifting priorities reveal about American politics. And in headlines, the House narrowly passes a spending bill to end the partial government shutdown, Renee Good's brothers testify before Congressional Democrats, and a U.S. fighter jet shoots down an Iranian drone.

  • It's Wednesday, February 4th.

  • I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day, the show that stands with Department of Justice lawyer,

  • Julie Lee, who broke down in federal court Tuesday and told a judge, quote, the system sucks.

  • This job sucks.

  • When the judge asked her why ISIS disobeying court orders,

  • she then asked to be held in contempt so that she could get some sleep.

  • Julie, you're not wrong.

  • The system does suck.

  • I wonder how it got that way.

  • On today's show, the partial government shutdown ends, but the fight to reform U.S.

  • immigration enforcement continues.

  • And are we going to war with Iran?

  • But let's start with Tucker Carlson.

  • You probably are aware of the current version of Tucker Carlson,

  • the former Fox News Titan and GOP kingmaker who now hosts a podcast where he has conversations with conservatives and other people you'd probably try to avoid at the company holiday party.

  • Like white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who joined Carlson last year to discuss a wide array of topics,

  • including some of the problems with modern women.

  • They're very feminist?

  • Like actually?

  • Extremely feminist, yes.
