I’m not normally a fan of the New York Times. But I find myself being amazed by Lulu Garcia-Navarro, who yesterday published an exhausting, two-hour long interview with Tucker Carlson. She’s the co-host of a Times’ column called “The Interview.” IMHO, her interview with Tucker Carlson was disturbingly revealing. Richard’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Put together, it is a searing indictment of a man who presumably is super-intelligent and who has gone down the rabbit hole of delusion and hate. And I take it...

A round of layoffs is underway at The Daily Wire, Barrett Media has confirmed. The first reports surfaced on Friday afternoon. Political reporter Cameron Arcand took to social media to share that he was included in the round of layoffs enacted. “I was impacted by layoffs today at The Daily Wire, so I am looking for opportunities in journalism/communications here in D.C.,” wrote Arcand. In a statement, The Daily Wire confirmed it was undergoing a round of layoffs. “Today, The Daily Wire made a difficult decision to restructure the organization, which included layoffs to a number of teams,” a company...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson apologized on Monday for campaigning for President Donald Trump, declaring that he would be “tormented” by the decision “for a long time” to come. During an interview with his brother Buckley Carlson – a Republican Party operative who previously wrote speeches for Trump – Carlson expressed regret for having publicly supported the president, who has repeatedly attacked him in recent months.

A lot of us have been wondering if and when Trump would slap down Tucker Carlson. Tucker has been taking potshots—no, firing broadsides—at Trump's policies and the core beliefs of almost every conservative for most of his time as a podcaster. He has essentially called anybody who supports Israel demonic, while implicitly supporting the expansion of Sharia law into the West. He has backstabbed Trump, tried to destroy him and his base, and provided aid and comfort to our enemies. Hasn't Trump noticed? He has... Trump posted a link to Douglas Murray's piece, which absolutely eviscerated Tucker, within about half...

In politics, it is often the people who you think have your back who end up stabbing you there. Nobody knows that better than Donald Trump, who has been stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar — yet still survived. While accusing everyone else of being obsessed with Israel, Carlson has obsessed about nothing else. While saying “We’re not allowed to talk about Jews,” he has talked about nothing but Jews. This obsession has culminated in a total derangement over the president’s Iran policy. Carlson and other people in the right-wing podcast sphere pretend to be confused by...

Donald Trump's former counterintelligence official blamed Israel for providing the US with faulty intelligence in the lead-up to the war with Iran and said the president should have continued negotiating with Tehran. Joe Kent, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said in his resignation letter Tuesday that Iran posed no imminent threat and the war was driven by pressure from Israel. 'Key decision makers were not allowed to express their opinions. There wasn't a robust debate,' Kent told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday. Kent argued that Trump should have created a communication backchannel with Iran and allow Israel to...

Week Three is underway. Every goatherd on the planet knows that the way to beat America is simply to outlast her: "We have all the time," as I quoted yesterday. What is the precise point at which a swift surgical strike (which the US can do) becomes a war of attrition (which the US always loses)? Well, you don't want to be typing "Week Twenty-Three is underway..." Given all the dissent in our comments section, I thought today I would pose a few thought experiments. "I'm just asking questions," as Tucker likes to say: ~First, for the two-points-in-Iowa crowd, is...

Tucker Carlson is warning that the CIA has been spying on him and that he is under investigation for his admitted contacts with the Iranian regime. WOW — Tucker Carlson reveals he is facing a criminal referral by the federal government for "talking to people in Iran before the war"Tucker was in the White House multiple times lobbying President Trump against action there.Who were these "people in Iran" he was talking to — it is left unsaid in this video https://t.co/33xWuXGjue— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) March 15, 2026Hmm. This brings up a lot of interesting questions, not the least of which...

By possibly telling the Iranians that President Trump did NOT want to attack Iran, did that give Iranian officials the confidence they could get together for a big meeting, the meeting in which the Ayatollah and other Iranian bigwigs got hit with a massive bombing resulting in the termination of the Ayatollah and many/most at the top including the severe wounding/death of the Son of the Ayatollah aka the Cardboard Ayatollah?Here is more detail of that scenario:This photo is hilarious in hindsight.Trump knew Tucker was talking to Iran.So he invites him to the Oval Office before the strike… knowing Tucker...

Tucker Carlson is not a good friend. Just a few years ago, when the podcaster was pretending to be friends with President Trump, Carlson was caught privately saying of Trump: “I hate him passionately.” In September, another person whom Carlson claimed to be friends with — Charlie Kirk — was shot dead. Carlson used the aftermath of his friend’s assassination not to demand that the suspect in the shooting be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He didn’t seize the moment to insist that perhaps the radical left dial down its hateful rhetoric against conservatives and Republicans. Nor...

The controversial American influencer Tucker Carlson published a new video yesterday in which he claims that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is preparing to submit a criminal referral against him to the U.S. Department of Justice. Carlson, known for his sharp criticism of Israel and U.S. President Donald Trump, claims the move stems from conversations he held in Iran before the outbreak of the current war. According to him, the procedure is being considered because of discussions he had with people in Iran before the war. In the video, he said: “So, the other day I found out that the...

@TuckerCarlson When you discover the CIA has been reading your texts in order to frame you for a crime.

Tucker Carlson, the American antisemitic influencer, says U.S. President Donald Trump and senior U.S. officials should be prosecuted over the decision to strike Iran. In last night's interview Carlson said, "There are other players here. I didn't realize it would be a joint operation with a country that believes in Amalek. Whoever made that decision should be in jail." .....

President Trump cast Tucker Carlson out of his Make America Great Again movement following the conservative talking head’s loud criticism of the US and Israeli assault on Iran. “Tucker has lost his way,” the commander-in-chief told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl on Thursday. “I knew that a long time ago, and he’s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.” The comments came after Carlson recently called the strikes on Iran “absolutely disgusting and...

"Tucker has lost his way,” Trump told me. “I knew that a long time ago, and he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that."

His sell by date has expired. Tucker sees conspiratorial Jewish machinations driving U.S. foreign policy. Tucker has created a chasm, isolating himself from many of his former fans, me included.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said this week that Doha has “no information” about alleged Israeli intelligence cells operating in the country, after US media personality Tucker Carlson asserted that Qatari and Saudi authorities had arrested “Mossad agents” (Israel’s foreign intelligence agency) planning bombings in both countries. Carlson made the allegation in a widely shared segment posted by the Tucker Carlson Network under the title “BREAKING: Mossad Agents Arrested in Planned Bombing Operation,” describing the purported arrests as an unreported “fact.”

Iranian state media showed off a fleet of drones lined up inside an underground bunker as part of a chilling propaganda video. Footage, released by the semi-official Fars News Agency, shows the unmanned fleet sitting on rocket launchers and on truck beds, while dramatic background music plays in the background. Drones lined either side of an aisle leading down a brightly lit tunnel with a variety of Iranian flags.
