Who is Tucker Carlson? Even among the modern breed of American far-Right pundits, competing to be the loudest and most extreme voice on an oversaturated digital scene, he stands out as an oddity.
Whatever you think of him, he isn’t predictable. He opposes abortion and immigration; his views on race have included describing Iraqis as “primitive monkeys”. Yet he has repeatedly given airtime to anti-Semitic guests, and seemed to implicate Israel in the murder of Charlie Kirk – hardly normal for even hardline conservatives. Nor is his decrying of the destruction of Gaza.
Watching Carlson, or listening to his ultra-popular podcast The Tucker Carlson Show, you become baffled. He’s clearly capable of independent thought, and has greater room for intellectual manoeuvre than the “yes men” who pop up nightly on Fox News. He is, or was, a capable writer, as proven by his pre-cable-television career in print; and he still has journalistic chops, as you can see from, say, his vigorous interrogations of the likes of Ted Cruz.

I bet you Hannity for example would flop hard .
Go Tucker.
What is the truth about this Telegraph hit piece?
“few are able to go independent and survive/thrive”
That’s the key-
He no longer gives a shiite what Talking Heads think.
He was a well-to-do Beltway NEPO baby. He had an Awakening. That’s not the same as Woke.
He saw that people were unashamedly lying right to his face, for years. Made a turn and never looked back.
More voices is betterer.
Rock On Tucker.
Having the MI6 wankers at the Telegraph try to undermine Tucker is the surest way to shore up confidence in his views.
He’s out to make lots of money and acts accordingly.
The media has had dubious participants since Thomas Jefferson’s day, including Pulitzer Prize winning newspapers.
We know Tucker. We have read him and watched him for 30 years. We watched him get fired and go through rehab. We watched him defend the republicans and attack them. We watched him defend democrats and attack them. Tucker like Brett Weinstein and others are after one thing. Who has control of our government? Why do politicians that say the right thing get into office and do the same old thing. Tucker wants to pull back the curtain and expose the great wizard for all to see. With Epstein we are starting to see glimpses. But we are still missing a lot. How did Bongino go to the FBI and turn about face? What caused that? Tucker wants to know. Who are those people in the Epstein files who are still redacted. Who? Who shall not be named?
I view him as in a league with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
Push the limits and rake in the green stuff.
Yes, we all want to see a free democratic Iran that does not support terrorism around the globe. However, blowing things up in Tehran with smart bombs and Moabs is not going to accomplish that. Do we really want to get into another war in a country twice the size of Iraq? With 67 million people and 10% of them HATE us?
This seems to be what Tucker has said more than once.
Every time he comes out against these forever wars (like the one in Ukraine) there are people HERE ON FREE REPUBLIC that call him names and say he is a tool of Qatar and he is Anti Semitic.
The Israeli lobby to our US Congress and Federal government is stronger than ANY other organization. We are witnessing the unraveling of a CIA/MOSSAD spying operation to compromise rich men and get them to do things because they fell into the Honey Trap of Jeffery Epstein.
Whenever Tucker brings up a subject that people are not comfortable with he is typically FLAMED. Which makes me perceive that the FLACK IS ALWAYS HEAVIEST WHEN YOU ARE OVER THE TARGET.
So, go ahead and call ME an ANTISEMETIC.
FLAME AWAY!
I don’t know what to think of him anymore. The Fatima sign behind him on his right is disturbing to me, among other things.
-SB
And on what planet would I be on to give a crap about what Jessa Crispin thinks?
I count you as a fanboy.
Completely different connotation than fan.
It means immaturely obsessed.
And your thousands of posts have documented your other immature obsession.
Agreed. He has become a clown on purpose to make as much money as possible. Same as Candice Owens. I can’t really fault them or judge them, as celebtards and the left are twice as bad.
Hard right, far right, stopped reading.
“ He’s out to make lots of money and acts accordingly.”
Bingo. He’s a play actor for money, reciting the lines he’s given.
Bingo !
Its not antisemitism to state the truth, Israel puts their interests before everyone else's, and it's idiotic for any other country not to do the same.
However, the US still has some ethical and legal guardrails around our intelligence services that Israel doesn't seem to have, in part this maybe existential.
Search Youtube for "CIA" and "Mossad", and you will find that ex CIA officers never liked working with the Mossad.
He’s a puppet, still obeying his masters. Of course he can say smart stuff - that’s why he’s a very highly-reimbursed puppet.
Since I don’t watch TV and never had cable, my acquaintance with “Fox News” and the whole network is very scanty. My strong feeling is that I haven’t missed out on anything except a whole lot of aggravation.
Don’t always agree with his positions but I hardly agree with anybody else. Always pay attention to his podcasts.
As one astute FReeper posted: There are those so blinded by annual billions of US tax dollars blanketing tiny Israel that Americans not wanting another Middle East war (just because Israel wants it) is deemed “ANTISEMITIC.” Do we really want to get into a war with Iran ....... a country twice the size of Iraq? With 67 million people, 10% of whom HATE us?
Reality Check
Iran has a large military in terms of personnel, tanks, and regional
proxies, plus Iran has larger numbers in its missile arsenal.
Yet, Israel is generally seen as militarily stronger due to its annoyingly persistent lobby embedding
Israel’s “qualitative edge” in US law without the knowledge and acquiescence of US taxpayers.
Israel slobbers at the US funding trough 24/7 and is dependent on US tax dollars to advance its air power, the paper tiger of its super-hyped intelligence apparat, and its presumably “cutting-edge” technology financed with US tax dollars.
Israeli military is totally dependent on US tax dollars and thus can throw around its military weight against anyone who stands in the way of Israel’s quest for world domination.
Israel makes a sophomoric show-and-tell of “strong US support”.
US taxpayer outlays for its multi-layered air defense system are massive.......
thus making Israel appear to be superior in technological and military effectiveness.
We’re getting gli,pses of what’s going on behind the scenes via the Epstein revelations.
Foe starters, Jeffrey Epstein’s activities as as Israeli
Mossad agent is a subject of intense speculation.
Declassified FBI documents and reports from early 2026 highlight claims
from confidential sources that Epstein was involved with Israeli intelligence.
Epstein’s sex associations with a parade of bigwig
intl figures underscores his intel activity for Israel.
In 2020, a confidential source informed the FBI that Epstein was
a co-opted Mossad agent and that he was “trained as a spy”
under the tutelage of former Israeli P/Minister Ehud Barak.
Epstein’s Links to Ghislaine Maxwell are another clue.
Her father, Robert Maxwell, a media mogul accused of looting his
employees’ pension funds, had widely reported ties to Mossad......
he died mysteriously, and got a state funeral in Israel
attended by Israeli top brass AND high placed Mossad figures.
Files document a close personal and business relationship between Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. W/ visions of billions of US tax dollars blinding his accuracy, Barak has vigorously denied knowing about Epstein’s damaging loyalty issues.
The lure of Sex has always been the MO to calculatedly tap into official govt doings.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and current PM Benjamin Netanyahu have categorically rejected suggestions that Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence. Netanyahu arguing that the close relationship with Barak is inviolable, could, in fact, be the linchpin.
Some researchers suggest that Epstein was an “access agent” or “asset”
for various Israeli intelligence services, using his sex-fueled network to gather information.
As of February 2026, the Epstein/Mossad agenda largely
rests on informant statements contained in FBI files.
