> **[Tucker Carlson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson)** > > Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson (born May 16, 1969) is an American conservative political commentator, journalist, and host of The Tucker Carlson Show since 2023. He previously hosted the nightly political talk show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News from 2016 to 2023, the highest rated cable news show at the time of its termination, and is an influential voice in right-wing media. Carlson began his media career in the 1990s, writing for The Weekly Standard and other publications. He was a CNN c... > Carlson publicly criticized Trump’s policy [military intervention against Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war), which triggered backlash from Trump.[[232]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#cite_note-irandiffering-233)[[233]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#cite_note-splitoveriran-234) In a phone interview with Rachael Blade of _The Inner Circle_ on March 2, 2026, Trump declared that both Carlson and [Megyn Kelly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megyn_Kelly), another right-wing commentator who criticized Trump’s Iran policy, “aren’t MAGA.”[[232]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#cite_note-irandiffering-233)[[234]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#cite_note-235) On March 5, 2026, ABC News reporter [Jonathan Karl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Karl) revealed that Trump stated to him that “Tucker has lost his way,” and “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.”[[235]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#cite_note-236)[[236]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#cite_note-237) > In response to Trump “throwing him out of [MAGA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAGA_movement),” Carlson told [Oliver Darcy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Darcy) of _Status_ that “There are times I get annoyed with Trump, right now definitely included,” while also claiming that “but I’ll always love him no matter what he says about me.” Wonder what made Tucker finally break on something. He’s certainly not as popular as he once was, but he wasn’t discarded until he opposed Dear Leader’s war of choice in Iran. His podcast was fairly popular, as far as that goes. ---

I think it was likely tied to the fact that he remained popular after his initial break from tRump$. I imagine ODL thought that he’s a “nobody” without his backing and found out differently. ---

As someone who followed Nixon closely during his presidency, these comments worry me. Vance likes to think the bar has been substantially raised. If it has, that is not a good thing. ---

That’s because no investigative reporters would be on this story for two years nowadays. Fucker is doing whatever he wants, and only the House can try to stop him, and only the Senate can expel him. He sure is grabbing pussies. They are GOP senators and Reps. ---

Elon Musk posted on X the entirety of an anti-immigration film that is banned in the Germany, the director’s home country. The movie is about a white man (played by alleged rapist Armie Hammer) going all Death Wish and hunting down and killing immigrants in retaliation for rapes that they have committed (making Hammer an ironic choice of actor). > Germany’s film ratings authority refused to classify the movie, in effect preventing its commercial release. The director said: “I was told that the film was inciting violence against migrants.” Is it any surprise that it didn’t receive a commercial release in Germany? And yet Elon Musk, one of the most [powerful donors](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/31/elon-musk-2026-election-donations-00758992) to the governing party of the United States, looked at this film, and its chilling ending, and decided it deserved one of the biggest promotional boosts he could give it. > **[Why is Elon Musk boosting an anti-immigrant film loved by the far right? |...](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/30/elon-musk-citizen-vigilante-immigration)** > > Does anyone seriously think this kind of amplification is harmless? ---

Nothing in the NT about a requirement to be “averse to low wage foreigners”. There is a message about the expectation to “work for your needs” and to NOT just rely on “Christian charity” to have your need met.
