Tucker Carlson’s post-Fox News trajectory is a timeline of escalating provocation and plummeting credibility.
Its culmination: His Oct. 28 interview with Nick Fuentes, a sworn enemy of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and an America worth living in.
After leaving Fox in 2023, Carlson pivoted toward an independent, subscriber-based platform that increasingly catered to extremist voices, abandoning the broad conservative appeal that had made him a household name.
His September 3, 2024, hosting of Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper drew sharp rebukes from influential Republicans, highlighting Carlson’s willingness to amplify venomous narratives.
By September 10, leading conservative outlets decried Carlson’s endorsement of Cooper as “the best and most honest popular historian.” The episode was a campaign season snag as November approached.
While Donald Trump clearly won the election, Carlson lost trust in 2025.
On June 17, he accused the president of complicity in war during Israel’s strikes on Iran, exposing tensions among MAGA supporters over foreign policy. The next day, Carlson confronted Sen. Ted Cruz, aggressively framing U.S. support for Israel as a betrayal of “America First” priorities.
Trump dismissed Carlson as “kooky” and emphasized his focus on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, signaling a rift. Carlson seemed unfazed.
His eulogy at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sept. 21 prompted credible accusations of antisemitism.
The apex of this troubling trajectory came on Oct. 28, when Carlson sat down with Fuentes.
In that interview, Carlson expressed explicit hatred for Christian Zionists, calling them victims of a “brain virus.” This direct attack targeted key Trump allies, including Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz, signaling an alignment with Fuentes’ anti-Israel views. It was a bold escalation of Carlson’s falling out with the president.

For those who aren't familiar, A Christian Zionist is a Christian who believes that the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel fulfills biblical prophecy and is a necessary step toward the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Christian Zionists interpret the Bible—especially the Old Testament and Revelation—as predicting the restoration of Israel as a sovereign Jewish state. They see the 1948 founding of Israel as a divine milestone.

Thanks for what seems to be about the 12th article today about Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes.
There must be some serious Stalin-Trotsky warfare going on inside the GOP at the moment.
No. This is all wrong. ANYBODY should be interviewed and their ideas challenged. Its this thing called “journalism”. We used to do that in this country. The same goes for having an open debate. Tucker did exactly that.
In his view...and the view of many Americans, the Neocon urge to put Israel first and to be willing to fight Israel’s battles for them, supply them with money and weapons every time Bibi Netanyahu gets into a conflict including ones of his choosing is not something that is in the national interest of America.
There’s a big difference between “America first” and total isolationism. The first is a realistic, moral, and winning strategy, the second is none of the above.
Someone has some dirt on Tucker to get him to bend over like has has in the past 8 months. Something going on for sure. Plus his creepy laugh has really gotten bad. Another sign of something up.
And on top of everything else, TC is a bigotted jerk. Nobody’s voted for him. He does not represent the R party, PDJT does.
Notice that every single article—left or right—attacks Carlson and Fuentes.
Young conservatives are noticing.
Next thing you know, Tucker will have on his show the Cydonia “experts.” For those of you in Rio Linda, the Cydonia experts were often guests on the Art Bell show. After the “Face On Mars” was discovered, some real wackos who could talk a good game began describing an entire Pyramid Complex on Mars. Books were written.
Perhaps Tucker can have on the guy famous for “I’m not saying that it’s aliens........ But......”
What are the next 2-3 milestones after Israel is reconstituted as a Jewish nation?
Roots of his rage (if it is rage): Tucker’s father was vice-director of the Foundation for the Survival of Democracies, a pro-Israel lobby group. Maybe start there.
He’s an entertainer
His old views/topics have become the norm or not as controversial as in the past, so he has had to push it even further out there. Otherwise he would blend in with all the other right leaning hosts
RE: No. This is all wrong. ANYBODY should be interviewed and their ideas challenged.
The problem with Tucker is he interviewed Nick Fuentes but NEVER challenged his ideas.
Despite Fuentes making overtly antisemitic, white nationalist, and Holocaust-denying statements, Carlson offered no pushback, corrections, or moral objections.
Where does this leave us?
RE: Tucker’s father was vice-director of the Foundation for the Survival of Democracies, a pro-Israel lobby group
So, he has daddy issues?
Oh for pity sakes. Tucker has always laughed like that. If people had anything on on him, the array of Tucker haters would have uncovered it a long time ago. So far, I am still waiting on absolute proof Qatar owns Carlson. No one can ever provide even that. There is actually more proof that POTUS likes Qatar. LOL
Maybe you just want to hate him because people you agree with hate him for the same reason you do.
RE: What are the next 2-3 milestones after Israel is reconstituted as a Jewish nation?
Christian Zionists believe several prophetic milestones remain after Israel’s 1948 reconstitution—including the rebuilding of the Third Temple, mass Jewish return to Israel, national acceptance of Jesus as Messiah, and the unfolding of end-times events leading to the Second Coming.
It’s a particular interpretation of Biblical Prophecy closely aligned to Dispensationalism.
Most dispensationalists are Christian Zionists, but not all Christian Zionists are dispensationalists. The two overlap significantly in theology and political support for Israel, but they are not synonymous.
Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism share several foundational beliefs:
• Ethnic Israel remains central to God’s plan
Both affirm that the Jewish people have a unique, ongoing covenant with God and that Israel’s restoration is prophetic.
• Support for the modern State of Israel
Both view the 1948 founding of Israel as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and advocate political and theological support for Israel.
• Literal interpretation of prophecy
Both tend to interpret biblical prophecies—especially in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation—literally, expecting future events like the rebuilding of the Temple and Christ’s reign from Jerusalem.
• Separation of Israel and the Church
Dispensationalists teach that the Church and Israel have distinct destinies. Christian Zionists often echo this view, though not always with the same theological precision.
Dispensationalism remains one of the most popular theological frameworks among American evangelicals (e.g. Ambassador Micke Huckabee), which explains why Israel finds its strongest support among Evangelicals in the USA.
As of 2025, approximately 23% of U.S. adults identify as Evangelical Protestants—translating to around 60 million people. That’s a huge number right there that Israel can tap for support.
BS.
Tucker interviews people and lets them speak.
He’s interviewed many.
When he allows someone to speak that “dares” to say something that certain groups don’t like, then the personal attacks come flying.
It’s actually more telling about those talking crap about him, than him.
Tucker’s son WORKS FOR JD VANCE !
He has gone round the be d like Pat Buchanan.
I just watched this Victor Davis Hanson interview about WWII.

In the interview VDH talks about the revisionist history regarding Japan that is coming from Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
When the master of history, VDH, figuratively slaps Tucker and Candace on their lips. they are in deep do-do.
RE: Tucker interviews people and lets them speak. He’s interviewed many.
So, he let’s them speak and never pushes back or asks follow up questions regardless of how outrageous their statements are?
In other words, you’re saying Tucker just gives them a platform to speak their mind freely without pushback be they to the left or to the right?
