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 want compromised people out of power.”
Correct answer.
Disclosure can get that done. Prosecutions are a bonus and not essential.
Not sure. Israel is a valuable ally. As of 2026 maybe our best ally. However, Israel is going to do what is in the best interest of Israel. As is the USA. Most of the time those interest align. Occasionally they don’t.
I just do not think we should be sending our troops into the middle east to fight another war for Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait or any one else. The only way to do that is make it so we do not CARE or NEED their OIL. So, if we can produce enough of our own. Plus get imports from Canada, Mexico and Venezuela we do not need middle east oil.
Iraqis aren’t a race.
And this author is awful.
He’s a paid flunky for the Arabs
Count me as a Tucker fan.

Is Tucker or Rand your biggest BFF?
Tucker is a walking talking contradiction. Railing about Israeli genocide while conveniently ignoring Muslim persecution of Christians in Palestine and every Muslim country on earth. The 5000 person Christian population of Gaza was happy and thriving until 2005 when the Muslims took over Gaza from Israel. The population in 2023 was 500 and dropping rapidly. Christians were killed, raped, and greatly persecuted. HAMAS invaded Israel many times since 2007, and has fired rockets into Israel incessantly. Tucker was silent. Israel finally fights back…and they’re committing Genocide. Tucker’s a Muslim owned pussy.
The real question is, how much interlocking is
there among deep staters in CIA / Mossad / MI5?
Good question.
I’m a fan but i’m under no illusion... he’s definitely connected with the CIA.
friends at a minimum.
he literally lives in their neighborhood in bethesda.
Compelling evidence points to deep, unusual connections between Epstein and
Israeli officials, including allegations of a “honey trap” blackmail operation.
With visions of billions of annual US tax dollars dancing in their heads,
these claims are vigorously denied by Israeli authorities.
Fearing to lose unlimited access to US tax dollars, ex-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called the accusations “categorically and totally false,” stating that Epstein’s criminal activity had nothing to do with Mossad or Israel.
In point of fact, Israel has buried government reports confirming that Epstein was an intelligence agent.
Many analysts argue that while Epstein’s connections are suspicious, the narrative that he was a Mossad asset often stems from unverified sources are always labeled “antisemitic” to scare off investigations.
Epstein is known to have cultivated close relationships with Israeli intelligence, defense, and political elites, and used his sex trafficking network to facilitate and nail deals involving US tax dollars financing development of “Israeli technology.”
“Israeli technology” most assuredly belongs to the US since US tax dollars made it possible.
LOL
Tucker is an anti Semite and knows nothing about the Bible.
People that hate Israel only concentrate on Israel. They ignore Epstein’s other connections.
“He’s a paid flunky for the Arabs”
Yes, I have been hearing that for six months. Maybe he is.
I have yet to see proof of it. Do you have anything to prove that allegation?
Tucker is a self interested media businessman who spoon feeds contrarian pablum to the gullible for his personal financial gain. Quite successfully, apparently.
Well said! You described him perfectly. Best thing to do is ignore him.
I answered my own question:
According to AXIOS article from last June:
Jun 13, 2025 -
Tucker Carlson buys out investors in his media company
Tucker Carlson and his business partner, Neil Patel, recently bought out investors in their media company, Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), a source familiar with the deal tells Axios.
Why it matters: The deal gives the pair complete independence and total control of the company they co-founded in 2023.
“It’s hard to claim you’re independent when other people own your company, so we decided not to take investments or loans of any kind,” Carlson told Axios in a statement, confirming the deal.
“Our business is owned by the people who work there. You can disagree with our opinions but you can’t say we’re paid to have them, and we’re proud of that.”
Catch up quick: Carlson and Patel raised roughly $15 million for TCN from a group of investors in late 2023 after Carlson parted ways with Fox News.
The pair have a long history, having co-founded the Daily Caller together in 2010. Patel currently serves as co-founder and CEO of TCN.
The bulk of the cash raised for TCN came from 1789 Capital, which was founded by banker Omeed Malik to invest in “anti-ESG” companies.
State of play: 1789 Capital’s investment is structured as a SAFE (simple agreement for future equity), Axios reported.
The SAFE structure allowed Carlson to convert his investors’ cash into equity if he later chose to raise more money at a set valuation.
Yes, but: When TCN became profitable more quickly than expected, they became less inclined to raise another round. And with no plans to sell the company, a buyout offered liquidity for existing investors.
Because of TCN’s profitability, investors saw a positive return on their investment, according to one source familiar with the transaction.
Between the lines: The success of product investments outside of TCN also gave Carlson and Patel the confidence to buy back their company.
Carlson and Patel launched a nicotine pouch product called ALP last year as a joint venture with Turning Point Brands, a publicly traded smoking accessories company. TPB’s share price has skyrocketed by nearly 30% since ALP’s launch announcement in November, reaching an all-time high last month.
Before launching ALP, Carlson was a supporter of ZYN nicotine pouches, produced by tobacco giant Philip Morris International. He created a rival product after criticizing PMI over political donations made by the company’s employees.
What they’re saying: “We have had a great start at TCN. We have also started other ventures, including our ALP nicotine pouch brand which has really taken off,” Patel said in a statement to Axios.
“This strong start gave us no need for outside capital and gave us the ability to buy out all of our investors and achieve absolute independence. We are grateful to our investors for backing us at our start and happy to have provided them a strong return on their investments.”
What’s next: TCN’s business is primarily driven by consumer subscriptions, as well as some advertising.
The company produces a daily show that lives on its owned and operated channels, as well as social media.
It’s also started producing documentaries for subscribers and recently launched a free TV app.
Suddenly he has money to buy out his investors AND buy a house in Qatar.
I love Tucker. I don’t always agree and sometimes he doesn’t pick up what’s being put down. Either on purpose or or by accident. I’ve always listened to people i don’t agree with. I love the fact that I can get information from many and make up my own mind.
Tucker has kissed Cenk Uygur’s ass at least twice recently and that makes Tucker Carlson TRASH.
I was a BIG fan until I saw that. If you don’t know what this means don’t reply until you fully understand who Cenk Uygur and TYT is all about.
Tucker has jumped the shark(s) recently. He is a Muslim sympathizer or a Muslim himself if it’s not the Qutar money he has been ingesting.
I was a big Tucker fan and even subscribed to him. I cancelled that.
