Tucker Carlson told viewers of his eponymous podcast during its March 4 episode that the conflict could be a religious war designed to rebuild the Third Temple—a theory based largely on believers in Christian end-times scripture—on historically disputed land between the Jewish and Muslim faiths.
Tucker was the hot girl that didn't want to f*ck him, an ex-White House official said. Carlson playing hard-to-get apparently intrigued Trump, the official added, and made him more alluring. Trump wasn't the only one watching Tucker Carlson Tonight religiously at the time. The show set a cable news record when it averaged 5.36 million viewers in October 2020, and it routinely averaged more than 4 million viewers per month.
A quick look at the website of Tucker Carlson - one of right-wing America's most influential personalities - shows his current preoccupations: criticising protesters in Minneapolis, selling baseball caps with insulting slogans and encouraging his fans and followers to buy gold.
In just a few sentences, @TuckerCarlson offers up some of the most venal lies ever spoken about the State of Israel and the Jewish people: 1) tens of thousands of children have NOT been killed in Gaza. Almost half of those killed were Hamas members, many others were adults, and the ratio of civilians to combatants killed is the lowest in the history of urban warfare.
Tucker Carlson has long been a standard-bearer for far-right views, such as the racist conspiracy theory known as the "great replacement." He recently did a chatty interview with the white supremacist Nick Fuentes, an admirer of Hitler. They trace how Carlson's sense of personal resentment toward the establishment grew; how launching his own website radicalized his politics in the years before MAGA;
As justifications for Donald Trump's invasion of Venezuela proliferate and change, a video of former Fox host Tucker Carlson in which he claims that the U.S. wants Venezuela to legalize marriage for same-sex couples has resurfaced.
Carlson released a preview clip in which the two discuss the various conspiracy theories around the murder of Charlie Kirk, and Carlson argues that federal law enforcement is responsible for the swirling conspiracy theories because they did not cough up the freaking facts and to tell a story that makes sense. The discussion ends with Carroll questioning the Las Vegas shooting narrative, which Carlson appears to briefly endorse.
In March, Carlson mused that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America's war. Don't let the propagandists lie to you, he added for good measure.
It's fine. I don't care if Bill Ackmanwhatever Bill Ackman doesbut I know Bill Ackman. He's kind of dumb. He's not ever created anything. He's totally non-creative. How do these people wind up running our biggest institutions? Carlson fumed, adding: And the reason that's significant is because if you pay close enough attention and you realize that the people running everything are stupid, then you think, Well, actually, the system is truly rigged on behalf of people who do not deserve these positions at all.
Carlson referenced accusations he and his media company, the Tucker Carlson Network, have accepted big bucks from Qatari investors, while interviewing Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. He then announced his new purchase. I have been criticized as being a tool of Qatar, and I just want to say, which you already know, which is I have never taken anything from your country and don't plan to, Carlson said. I am, however, tomorrow buying a place in Qatar.
Ted Cruz (R-TX) attacked former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday for speaking at a conference in Qatar, which is also set to include Cruz's own former national security advisers. Reacting to the news that Carlson would be one of the speakers at the Doha Forum in Qatar's capital this weekend, Cruz accused Carlson of being #QatarFirst. #QatarFirst https://t.co/O88JPSaxcc Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) December 5, 2025
Yiannopoulos is a right-wing provocateur who once identified as gay but now says he no longer is. He posited several debunked theories about why people are gay, such as absent fathers, domineering mothers, and molestation. "In almost every case, and certainly in every male case, [being gay] is a trauma response. It is not a sexuality," Yiannopoulos said. Jewish people become gay because they have "nebbish fathers" and "larger-than-life" mothers, he said, while Black people become gay because of fatherlessness.
Took over the Heritage Foundation a couple of years ago, and I thought and that's the biggest foundation in Washington and I thought that he could steer it into a positive direction. I think he certainly wanted to. He tried. And in the end, 10 days ago, he got-, he was completely destroyed by this, by this fighting within the within the Republican Party

On one side: a rowdy and ascendant coalition of ultra-nationalists, populists, and Gen-Zers who are clamoring for an end to US support of Israel. On the other: the neoconservative, Zionist old guard who are increasingly marginalized and on the defense. As the clash rattles the MAGA coalition at its highest levels, one man stands at the center, enjoying the mayhem: Nick Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist streamer whose moment has finally arrived.
