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...

Loopy Tucker being tucker (Video)

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...

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." .....

Nearly everybody called out Tucker Carlson at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s symposium on antisemitism. Attendees clapped when Senator Ted Cruz of Texas called Carlson “the single-most dangerous demagogue in the country,” and speakers praised US President Donald Trump for recently casting him aside as “not MAGA.” There was no such praise for US Vice President JD Vance, however, who has made no decisive statement on Carlson, nor on Candace Owens. The two media personalities have come to represent an emerging anti-Israel wing of the Republican party that indulges in antisemitic conspiracy theories and is anathema to the RJC and its...

US political commentator and journalist Tucker Carlson claimed on Monday that Saudi Arabia and Qatar had caught and “arrested Israeli Mossad agents planning bombings in those countries”. “Why would the Israelis be committing bombings in Gulf countries, which are also being attacked by Iran?” Carlson said on his show. “Aren’t they on the same side?” “Israel wants to hurt Iran - and Qatar, and the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, and Oman and Kuwait,” he added. Carlson also alleged that Israel deliberately sows chaos among America’s Arab allies. The American journalist did not cite a source for the claim,...

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.”

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.

esident Trump is pushing back on arguments from former Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson the president's so-called MAGA base does not support his recent air strikes on Iran, saying "MAGA is Trump." “I have to do what’s right, number one – and you can’t have Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That’s predominant to me,” Trump told independent journalist Rachel Bade on Monday. “I think that MAGA is Trump – MAGA’s not the other two,” Trump said of Carlson and Kelly. “MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I’m doing —...

Conservative podcasting titan Tucker Carlson torched Donald Trump for his 'evil' attack on Iran as the president's MAGA base fractures over the Middle East war. Carlson has levied a rare criticism against the president following the US military's joint attack with Israel on the Iranian regime on Saturday morning. 'Absolutely disgusting and evil,' Carlson said to journalist Jon Karl.

Tucker Carlson’s recent visit to Ben Gurion Airport, which Carlson billed as his “fact-finding” trip to Israel, has provoked a storm of criticism. He met with American ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, insisting that Israel mistreated Christians, and refused to listen to Huckabee’s rebuttal. Now one of the leaders of Christians in Israel, Shadi Khalloul, has also taken Carlson to task. More on his response to Carlson can be found here: “Israeli Christian Leader: Tucker Carlson ‘Doesn’t Want the Truth,’ Endangers Christians Elsewhere by Lying About Israel,” by Debbie Weiss, Algemeiner, February 19, 2026:Firebrand podcaster Tucker Carlson drew a barrage...

TEL AVIV — Shortly after landing at Ben Gurion Airport to conduct an interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, commentator Tucker Carlson reportedly uncovered shocking evidence that Israel is controlled by the Jews. "I'm seeing the Star of David everywhere. Why is that?" Carlson reportedly asked his producer. "And I see this scribbly language, but it doesn't look Arabic. I'm familiar with Arabic. Like, really familiar — AHAHAHAHA! This almost looks like Hebrew, but surely not." CCTV footage appeared to show that, as Carlson waited for Huckabee to arrive for their interview, he was browsing brochures set aside for visitors....

The crazed gunman who was shot dead after trying to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gas can has been identified as a North Carolina artist who was reported missing by his mom. Austin Tucker Martin, 21, of Cameron, North Carolina, was killed by law enforcement in the early hours of Sunday morning, law enforcement sources told The Post. He was reported missing by his family to authorities on Saturday.

Arab and Muslim nations on Saturday sharply condemned comments by the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who said Israel has a right to much of the Middle East. Huckabee made the comments in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired Friday. Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include essentially the entire Middle East, and asked Huckabee if Israel had a right to that land. Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.” Huckabee added, however, that Israel was not looking to expand its...

I invited @TuckerCarlson to take advantage of his upcoming visit to Israel and meet our thriving Christian community - to see with his own eyes the people and realities he speaks about so confidently and so often on his platform.This letter was sent a week ago to every email address listed on his website. Not a single response. For someone who claims to care so deeply about the Christians in the Holy Land - @TuckerCarlson, your silence is deafening…
