UAE, Dubai – Prominent American media personality and political commentator Tucker Carlson, founder of the Tucker Carlson Network, described the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as a "wise leader unlike any other president I have met,” reiterating that wisdom is impossible without humility, which he referred to as a divine gift.

Carlson shared his insights during a keynote session titled “The New Rules of Influence” at the 1 Billion Followers Summit, the world’s largest event dedicated to the content economy. His Excellency Saeed Al Eter, Deputy Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Strategic Projects and Chairman of the UAE Government Media Office, led the engaging discussion.

Hosted by the UAE from January 11 to 13, 2025, across iconic Dubai venues such as Emirates Towers, DIFC, and the Museum of the Future, the summit carries the theme “Content for Good.” The third edition of this landmark event brings together over 15,000 content creators and influencers, 420 speakers, and 125 CEOs and global experts, underscoring its pivotal role in shaping the future of the industry.

Speaking during the session, Carlson said, "I have spoken to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan several times, and I have never heard a world leader speak with such humility and wisdom."

He added, "The leadership in the UAE has a long-term vision that goes far beyond a decade, positively impacting every aspect of the country. This leadership motivates excellence and hard work, as evidenced by the multiple global awards you have here. These are significant strengths of the UAE."

Is Tucker drinking the same booze as Bannon?

The Emiraties are a very noble and cultured people, AND very good biz partners.

bin Zayed Al Nahyan is a good ally to the United States and a “liberalizer” to the extent you can call any Middle Eastern dictator a liberalizer. But he’s a dictator. Tucker tends to go overboard with his language sometimes.

There’s been something up with Tucker for a while.

The UAE had been behind some of the most subtle anti American activities for a long time. Big funder of the anti-fracking junk science, simply to cut out a major competitor.

That’s why you never hear Tucker condemn Muslim terror attacks on Christians and Jews. He’s all in for the Muzzies.

Is that the guy who disappeared his daughter and Mary Robinson the former President of Ireland had to call for proof of life? Then his wife fled to London with their two kids to divorce him?

A friend of mine has noted Tucker’s lack of comment on certain subjects for a very long time particularly when it comes to Israel. Prior to that, there has always been something in the back of my mind that is sus about him.

I was an honored guest of the UAE in January 2003, just before Bush’s Iraq war, as an invited speaker at a biotech conference. They treated me very well indeed.

This was despite the fact that it was all over the Internet that I supported the Serbs over the muslims in the Balkan wars.

The leadership of the UAE steers in a very moderate course—friendly with the USA, Israel, Serbia, etc.

Perhaps under the new Trump administration, Saudi Arabia, Oman, etc. will join the UAE in this policy, and the horrible Iranian regime will be overthrown!

So what?

We've been working with neo-Nazis in Ukraine and with Islamic jihadists, that we once deemed a terrorist group, in Syria.

The hypocrisy never ceases.

I assume already has done that. Why wouldn't he?
