Since January, Tucker Carlson has been funded by Qatar and has become an opponent of Trump.
The journalist is part of an Arab influence strategy over North American media. 18/06/2025
by Editorial Team.
Since the beginning of this year, American journalist Tucker Carlson, an icon of media conservatism, has started generating controversy due to a notable "ideological shift." According to various investigations, this is because Carlson is part of a Qatar influence strategy over American media.*
Official documents submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) reveal Qatar's growing influence in strategic sectors of the West, including the academic world, sports, real estate, and now also media, with special emphasis on right-wing sectors.
According to reports, before Trump's victory in the elections, only 10% of Qatari lobbying was directed at conservative media. However, after his win, 50% of lobbying efforts focused on channels such as Fox News, the New York Post, and the Daily Mail.
The goal of that decision is to improve Qatar's image, a country accused of its ties to Hamas and Iran, and to present it as a reliable strategic partner to Washington.
In this context, Tucker Carlson turned out to be one of the clearest examples of this strategy. In March, Carlson conducted an interview with Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, which surpassed six million views in just a few hours.
"There is enormous pressure on the United States to participate in a new war against Iran. Qatar's government considers it reckless, so, of course, it is being relentlessly slandered in American media. Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, explains it," Carlson said when presenting the interview.
However, what is most striking is the clarification that the American journalist himself wrote in the tweet: "Includes paid partnerships." This demonstrates the Arab influence strategy over certain media outlets and journalists.
Behind that action was the American consulting firm Lumen8 Advisors, hired by the Qatari embassy in Washington. The contract, for 180,000 dollars per month, requires exclusive work with Doha, first-class travel, and total availability. Lumen8 can't collaborate with any other Middle Eastern country without Qatar's direct authorization.
In addition, Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), his new platform after leaving Fox, has as its main investor a powerful Qatari sheikh known for his strong opposition to Trump.
This funding coincides with an editorial shift by Carlson, who now speaks out against any U.S. intervention in the Middle East and criticizes Trump's decisions in the region.
According to Iranian state media, Qatar said that “Persian Gulf states will run out of drinking water in three days if Iran's nuclear sites attacked.”*
Laurie Cardoza-Moore, founder of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN), has criticized conservative commentator Tucker Carlson following his recent interview with Qatar's Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. She alleges that Carlson's actions indicate a troubling shift toward antisemitic sentiments and alignment with nations known for controversial stances on Israel.*
In the interview, Sheikh Mohammed warned that an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities could severely contaminate the Gulf's water supply, affecting countries like Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait. He emphasized that such an event would leave the Gulf with "no water, no fish, nothing... no life," urging for diplomatic solutions over military actions.
After President Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, foreign agents working on behalf of the Qatari government appear to have shifted their focus to right-wing media, fueling speculation that the terror-linked Gulf state is attempting to win influence among conservatives.
Between January 1, 2024, and election day, just over 10% of communications sent by Qatari foreign agents to the media were directed to conservative outlets or commenters, according to a Washington Examiner review of Department of Justice records. Since Republicans won control of the White House and Congress on election day, the proportion of messages sent by Qatari operatives to conservative outlets and commenters has surged to more than half of their total correspondence with the media.
Newly revealed DOJ documents show Doha's increasing efforts in right-wing outlets, including Fox News, to promote favorable narratives.*
Qatar's policy of playing both sides caused a crisis in 2017, when President Trump threw his support behind a blockade of Doha by Saudi Arabia...
In his interview with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Aal Thani, published March 8, 2025, Tucker Carlson allows a total whitewash of the worst enemy of America in this century, Qatar. He claims that the attacks on Qatar are motivated by an attempt to drag America into war with Iran. This is a false claim. MEMRI, the foremost critic of Qatar over the years that continues to accuse it of being an enemy of America, and the foremost sponsor of Islamist terrorism (including 9/11), opposes an American attack on Iran....*
On March 7, the podcaster Tucker Carlson released an interview with Qatar's prime minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.*
Tucker Qatarlson is one of the most dishonest persons in America. He doesn’t know what the word “ally” means when he is asked about israel but he knows exactly what it means when it comes to his masters in Qatar. This guy is doing such a damage to President Trump and his Armand achievements.FB
WHY IS TUCKER CARLSON SUDDENLY DEFENDING A U.S. ENEMY LIKE IRAN?June 18, 2025.
A Washington Examiner investigation found that U.S. journalists often published pro-Qatar content shortly after targeted lobbying efforts. One major success was Tucker Carlson’s interview with Qatar’s Prime Minister, which drew over six million views within hours. A new FARA filing reveals Qatar paid to facilitate the interview and provided pre-approved talking points on Iran. The PR campaign was run by Lumen8 Advisors, a U.S. firm paid $180,000 monthly by the Qatari Embassy for strategic consulting. The contract requires 13 days of work per month, mostly in Doha, and bars the firm from working with other Middle Eastern or North African governments without Qatar’s approval.
Tucker being on the payroll of Islamist regimes isn’t hyperbole. It’s fact!*
FARA filing shows Qatar paid to set up Tucker Carlson’s interview with its Prime Minister — complete with pre-approved talking points on Iran.

Yes, Tucker Carlson has taken money from Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
He spoke at a UAE summit in 2024, praising the region while slamming US foreign policy. Public records and his own appearances confirm the financial ties. He’s also called out critics as “subversives,” which tracks with his pattern of dodging accountability. Check his Dubai speech for the receipts.

The Qatar Papers; Tucker Carlson.
Written By B.J. Dichter, Posted on May 18, 2025
The Dark Web Linking Qatar, Lobbyists, and U.S. Alternative Media.
After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, Qatari foreign agents reoriented their media outreach strategy, focusing heavily on right-wing and conservative outlets in the U.S. Prior to the election, just 10% of Qatar’s communications targeted conservative media. That number jumped to over 50% following the Republican win. The shift appears to be a calculated attempt by Qatar, a nation long scrutinized for its ties to terrorist groups, to gain favour with the new administration and its allies, particularly amid growing Republican criticism over its connections to Hamas and Iran.

Yuppers
Glad I Caught This!
Tucker is apparently supporting the GINSCA (Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance) (that’s Iran-Russia-North Korea-China-Belarus).
Thus, no wonder he has been attacking Trump like a madman. Not only now, but he even did so during Trump’s first mandate. Tucker is completely compromised.
He can’t stand the fact that Trump is pro Israel and the fact that he has been the toughest US president against Russia in America’s history. I posted long ago on my FR profile (it’s still there) Trump’s 40 anti-Russia deeds... a great list.
I really liked Tucker’s show years ago, but he doesn’t represent America’s best interests anymore. He has changed, and is now apparently supported by a certain interest group... Sad.

Oh that IslamoChristian Munther Isaac ..
Tucker Carlson’s assault on American Christian support for Israel
By: Tricia Miller, PhD April 11, 2024
Under the guise of advocating for Palestinian Christians, Tucker Carlson launched a two-pronged assault on Israel and American political and Christian support for the Jewish State. To provide legitimacy for his campaign, he enlisted the help of Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem and notorious propagandist for the Palestinian anti-Israel narrative. Carlson’s interview with Isaac aired on April 9, 2024, on “Tucker Carlson on X,” receiving tens of thousands of likes and shares.
Munther Isaac has a long history of promoting falsehoods about Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict in his roles as pastor, academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College (a self-identified Evangelical university that promotes a Palestinian Christian theology), and director of Christ at the Checkpoint conferences (the infamous venue where anti-Israel libels are proclaimed in the name of Christian love, justice and peace).
For many years, CAMERA has exposed the deceptiveness in Isaac’s teaching, as well as the fallacious theological and historical foundation of the narrative promoted by Bethlehem Bible College and Christ at the Checkpoint. Examples of that documentation can be seen here, here, and here. In light of the blatantly anti-Jewish activism of Isaac and these institutions, it is appalling that Carlson would provide a platform for such thinly-veiled hatred.

What’s the Matter with Tucker Carlson?
Jan. 22, 2025.
As President Trump gave his inaugural address in Washington, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who now has his own podcast after having been fired by Fox News, chose to remain seated while all around him stood up when the President — while mentioning that the Israeli hostages are “coming back home to their families”— pointed to family members of hostages, and hostages who had previously been released, standing near the podium. No one should have been surprised at seeing Carlson remain seated, for he has a long history of anti-Israel animus. He has criticized Christian leaders in the United States, arguing that they are “not being more critical of the destruction in Gaza.”
[...]
Carlson has invited as guests on his podcast a series of flagrant antisemites. He had a “Holocaust distortionist” on his show, one Darryl Cooper, a “podcast historian” whom Carlson has described as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.” He allotted a full two hours for Darryl Cooper to spread his venom. Carlson declined to take issue with any of the false claims made by Cooper during their conversation, and even now he continue to refuse to criticize Cooper’s views or apologize for having given him such a platform. Cooper claimed that “millions of prisoners of war” had “ended up dead” in concentration camps, implying that Jews should not be regarded as the victims of genocide, but rather as POWs (Jews being “at war” with the Nazis), and millions of them were not deliberately murdered by the Nazis, but had died of disease or malnutrition because the Nazis were “unprepared” for the war, and thus had not been able to properly house, to clothe, or to feed such prisoners taken in the war. According to Cooper, World War II was caused by Winston Churchill, whom he called the “chief villain” of that war. Most of those in Nazi custody died, Cooper maintains, from typhus and other diseases...

Yad Vashem Denounces Remarks Made by Darryl Cooper Regarding Nazi Atrocities as Historically False.
04 September 2024
Recently, Darryl Cooper, in a podcast with Tucker Carlson, made statements that grossly misrepresent the German Nazi regime’s actions during Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Cooper claimed that the Nazis were “unprepared” to handle millions of prisoners of war and political dissidents, suggesting their brutality was a result of poor planning. This statement is patently false. The German invasion of the Soviet Union was long-planned and included genocidal strategies of dealing with the local Jewish population not as a response to logistical challenges, but as an ideological one...

Why Tucker’s Historian Hates Churchill
By Robert Spencer - on September 8, 2024.
No one really knows why Tucker Carlson featured historian/fabulist Darryl Cooper on his podcast, but one thing is clear: Cooper wasn’t there to talk history. His historical points were all made in order to support present-day political positions. Even his demonization of Winston Churchill served this purpose: it was meant to change people’s minds not so much about World War II, but about the Israel-Hamas conflict.

“Death to America” Gets a Rebrand in Tucker Qatarlson’s Fawning Interview With Iranian President Pezeshkian.

“Oh that IslamoChristian Munther Isaac .”

Munther Isaac is also a vicious liar.
Like George Will who wrote editorial after editorial castigating Ronald Reagan during the 1980 primary - and until 2 weeks before the election, when he finally endorsed him (as if anybody cared by that point). He has never, ever been a "conservative." Just a Swamp rat. Pepperidge Farms remembers.
With all of these revelations of Qatari influence over our news, media and entertainment industry….I really think Israel needs to once and for all get some type of foot hold in those industries too.
MTG is remarkably stupid. I didn’t think anyone could be that stupid and still get through their day.
