Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson claimed Monday that Israeli figures falsely told him Hunter Biden’s laptop contained graphic images of children. Carlson, who once used the laptop story to criticize the Biden family while serving as a Fox News anchor, put to rest conspiracy theories about the laptop’s contents in a wide-ranging interview with the former president’s son – specifically the false allegations that the laptop contained abusive images of children. “Can I just say one thing though, this is what I experienced during that time – the allegation that there was abusive minors proven on the laptop – that came...

Tucker Carlson used a highly promoted livestream Wednesday to unveil a 10-point vision for America — defining the worldview of a breakaway MAGA faction increasingly at odds with President Trump. Why it matters: After vowing last month to "help build a third party," Carlson fueled further speculation this weekend by hosting MAGA dissidents at his home in Maine, where they urged him to run for president in 2028. The former Fox News host stopped short of a formal launch, instead presenting the manifesto as the foundation for "whatever comes next" — a new political order he said could "find all...

Trump shared criticism describing Tucker Carlson as obsessively anti-Israel and ashamed of America following his departure from the Republican Party. Israel National News. Jul 27, 2026 President Donald Trump shared a social media post on Monday strongly criticizing Tucker Carlson following the anti-Israel commentator's announcement that he is leaving the Republican Party. The post, written by American media personality Wayne Allyn Root, references a New York Post editorial about Carlson, and says the commentator "caught a case of 'Jew Derangement Syndrome.'" Which "led him down a dark, destructive path. A conservative patriot hero who destroyed his life and committed career...

Carlson is effectively telling Iran: The man who would replace Trump does not support this war and would not have taken these actions. What conclusion does he expect Iran to draw from that? [What did Carlson say about Vance? ➤ Why is Carlson's statement dangerous? ➤ Did Tucker Carlson undermine Trump's deterrence? ➤ What was Trump's warning to Iran? ➤] By Duvi Honig. July 22, 2026.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans. Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts. “I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded. Your life expectancy has gone...

Tucker Carlson had an expletive-filled kiss off to Donald Trump as he continues to burn bridges within the White House over the Iran War. The former Fox News anchor has been one of most public critics from the right of Trump's foreign policy, coming to a head with the strikes on Tehran. Carlson, appearing on the Jack Neel Podcast, accused Trump of feigning strength by using empty threats against Iran as the war continued on. 'He tried to posture his way out of it,' Carlson said of the President after the initial killing of Ayatollah Khomeini didn't force Iran's surrender....

Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson says he's "out" of the Republican Party moving forward, arguing the GOP no longer reflects his views.

The fact that the New York Times would interview Tucker Carlson in the first place is an indication of how much the former Fox host has gone off the rails. The Times only interviews people who support its far-left worldview, including endless vilification of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza, and Carlson was ready with the goods. In his interview, which was published Saturday, Carlson adopts the pose of a moral philosopher to attack the Jewish state, and Judaism as well, from a new angle:I think what we’re seeing is evil. Are you allowed to kill people who’ve committed...

Tucker tells the NYT that President Trump puts a literal “spell” on people to “weaken them and make them compliant” and it might be “supernatural" Run Time 31 seconds

There is a difference between dissent and sabotage. Between principled skepticism and strategic subversion. And increasingly, that line is being tested—not by the political Left, but by what can only be described as a counter-MAGA Fifth Column operating within the right itself. At a moment when the United States is engaged in active military operations to destroy the escalating threat from the Iranian regime—one that has openly pursued nuclear capability, funded proxy terrorism, and targeted American interests abroad—there has emerged a chorus of influential voices whose messaging consistently runs counter to the Trump administration’s interests. Figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace...

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.

Buckley Carlson, the son of conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, has stepped down from his role as deputy press secretary to Vice President JD Vance, leaving the White House as his father's escalating feud with President Donald Trump continues to escalate. Carlson's departure, first reported by Politico, comes amid a widening rift between Trump and the elder Carlson. The clash appears to have been fueled by sharp disagreements over the war with Iran and has only intensified by the pundit's extraordinary suggestion that the president could be the 'antichrist.'

As is so often the case, the greatest threat to any institution comes from within. Currently, a Groyper movement—that is, a movement built on mindless isolationism, hardcore antisemitism, coy pro-Naziism and Islamism, huge pockets of misogyny, and a barely hidden dislike for America—is trying to co-opt MAGA and the Republican Party. Its leaders are podcast hosts Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, all of whom once claimed to be straight-talking conservatives. Now, they just engage in crazy talk. Trump tried to ignore them, but he seems to have realized that the GOP risks going down the same...

Conservative commentator Josh Hammer unleashed on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Marjorie Taylor Greene during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, characterizing the trio as members of the “retard right.” “You probably noticed that things feel a bit off in the conservative movement at this time,” began Hammer, who made an exception for President Donald Trump and his administration. “It is only when we look outside the administration to the conservative influencer class, those who dwell in ‘podcastistan,’ as some now call it, when we see things going perhaps slightly less well. Don’t get me...

@VigilantFox Ted Cruz says Tucker Carlson is “the most dangerous demagogue in America.” “He hates Israel.” “He’s attacking Jews on a daily basis.” “He’s also said there’s no one on planet Earth he hates more than Christian Zionists. And he’s identified by name, me and Mike Huckabee, as the two people he hates the most.” “He had Nick Fuentes, who is an open Nazi. And by the way, I don’t use the term Nazi lightly.” “Tucker has also defended Mamdani and defended Maduro.” “Tucker hates President Trump. He opposes everything about his foreign policy, and he’s attacking President Trump on...

After prominent antisemitic podcaster Tucker Carlson visited the Oval Office in January, a White House official told Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum, “Just trust the plan.” It was also the approach that Israelis took toward the president on most issues. Trump and his advisers — especially top envoy Steve Witkoff — might occasionally have said things that confused Israel and even undermined its interests, but they trusted that he was a president who could distinguish good from evil, and was not about to be pushed around by Iran and friends.

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...

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...
