    Tucker Carlson's Israel Comments Ignite MAGA Split as Trump Urges Restraint and 2026 Digital Empire Looms
    Feb 22 2026
    Tucker Carlson recently sparked international headlines with an explosive interview on his show featuring U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, where Huckabee claimed Israel has a right to much of the Middle East, drawing widespread uproar and criticism from Democrats and some Republicans alike. Politico reports the comments ignited fierce debate over U.S. foreign policy and Israel's influence. The interview followed Carlson's own controversial trip to Israel, where he claimed Israeli authorities detained him and his team at Ben Gurion Airport, seizing passports and interrogating his executive producer after the Huckabee sit-down; The New Republic and Daily Mail detailed how officials dismissed it as routine screening, but Carlson called it bizarre harassment amid his vocal criticism of U.S. support for Israel.

    This comes as reports surface that President Trump privately urged Carlson to tone down his Israel critiques, highlighting tensions within MAGA circles over foreign policy, according to insiders cited by media outlets. Carlson's influence persists, with BBC News analyzing his evolution into a key MAGA figure potentially eyeing a 2028 presidential run, complete with recent White House lunches with Trump and close ties to JD Vance, even as they clash on issues like Iran strikes.

    On the media front, insiders reveal Carlson is expanding his independent empire with plans for subscription-based content, exclusive video series, and tech platform partnerships in 2026, positioning him as a digital power player as cable news fades. Madeleinee.com notes this shift amplifies his long-form interviews reaching millions, stirring buzz about polarization while analysts predict it as the new model for commentators.

    Reactions tie into broader debates, with a BBC discussion exploring Carlson's role in post-Trump conservatism and his olive-branch interview with Nick Fuentes signaling outreach to the populist right's energized base. Meanwhile, Ray Dalio warned on Carlson's platform about central bank digital currencies enabling government overreach, per the Daily Caller, and Steven Witkoff offered a restrained Iran view in another Carlson interview, fueling war policy talks via Responsible Statecraft.

    These developments underscore Carlson's enduring sway in politics and media, challenging establishments while deepening party rifts.

  • US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to Counter Carlson's Criticism of Israel in Jerusalem Interview

    US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to Counter Carlson's Criticism of Israel in Jerusalem Interview
    Feb 18 2026
    US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced on Monday that he'll sit down with Tucker Carlson for an interview in Jerusalem on Wednesday, aiming to counter what he calls misinformation about the region. The Media Line reports Huckabee's pushback stems from Carlson's recent sharp criticisms of Israel and Christian Zionists, whom Carlson labeled in an October 2025 interview as "the people I despise most in the world," though he later softened those remarks. This comes amid ongoing backlash, including Stop Antisemitism naming Carlson their 2025 "Antisemite of the Year" for invoking stereotypes about Jewish influence in US politics.

    On his Tucker Carlson Network, Carlson released a clip just a day ago discussing Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's relationship, arguing Putin respects Trump and wants peace, while blasting Ukraine's Zelenskyy as a failure who's stolen billions in Western aid and sold NATO weapons to extremists. The full conversation touches on NATO's role, Europe's self-destruction through immigration, and the need for Russia as an ally against China.

    Separately, an Israeli Christian leader invited Carlson to visit their thriving community firsthand, but The New York Sun notes he has ignored the offer amid his portrayals of Israel as oppressive. Carlson also recently interviewed Texas congressional candidate Ryan Zink, a January 6 defendant, highlighting his ongoing platform for far-right voices like Nick Fuentes, whose October appearance split MAGA circles, as detailed in Chicago Magazine.

    These moves underscore Carlson's expanding influence through his network, fueling debates on his role in shifting conservative media toward isolationism and criticism of US foreign aid, while drawing rebukes from pro-Israel figures and warnings from investors like Ray Dalio on broader economic risks he discusses.

  • Tucker Carlson's Controversial Israel Trip Sparks Heated Debate

    Tucker Carlson's Controversial Israel Trip Sparks Heated Debate
    Feb 15 2026
    Tucker Carlson is making waves with reports of an upcoming trip to Israel for an interview with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee, following their heated social media exchanges over Christian treatment in the region and Carlson's past comments downplaying Hamas as a terrorist group. Times of Israel reports that Israel initially considered barring him but backed off to avoid a diplomatic row, after Huckabee challenged Carlson to come talk in person following a recent episode of The Tucker Carlson Show.

    His latest content from Jordan, a 30-minute video titled “The Shocking Reality of the Treatment of Christians in the Holy Land by US-Funded Israel,” has drawn sharp backlash. The Media Line and Ynet News detail fact-checks debunking his claims of shrinking Christian populations as a crisis, exaggerated spitting incidents compared to al-Qaida madrasas, and false suggestions of an Israeli strike on Gaza's Al-Ahli Hospital—actually a misfired Palestinian rocket. Evangelical leader Joel Rosenberg warns Carlson of spiritual peril for his anti-Israel stance, while attorney Calev Myers calls it a master class in gaslighting half-truths.

    On his Tucker Carlson Network, fresh episodes feature Rep. Tim Burchett discussing UFO secrecy, congressional insider trading, and institutional distrust, fueling debates on government transparency. Podbean highlights Carlson's national media tour with guests like Russell Brand, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, alongside his subscription platform's growth through fundraising and patriotic investments. Recent clips question redacted Israel references in JFK and RFK assassination files during a talk with Cenk Uygur, per Algemeiner.

    Reactions split conservatives: Laura Loomer accuses him of pro-Islamic bias amid Israel clashes like his challenge to Ted Cruz on US support, while supporters praise his push against establishment media. His ventures, including The Tucker Carlson Show podcast topping Spotify charts, solidify his influence in building an independent conservative ecosystem.

  • Tucker Carlson's Middle East Travels Spark Controversy and Divide the Conservative Movement

    Tucker Carlson's Middle East Travels Spark Controversy and Divide the Conservative Movement
    Feb 11 2026
    Tucker Carlson has been making waves with his recent Middle East travels, including a trip to Jordan and an expected visit to Israel, where officials reportedly considered but ultimately rejected denying him entry to avoid diplomatic fallout, according to The Jerusalem Post and HaTzinor reports. In a new video from the region, Carlson highlighted what he described as oppression of Christians in Jerusalem by Israel, contrasting it with greater religious freedom for Christians in Jordan, where he interviewed local Christian leaders who praised Muslim-Christian harmony. He sharply criticized US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee for failing to defend Jerusalem's Christians and ignoring attacks on Palestinian Christians by Israeli settlers.

    This sparked a public feud, with Huckabee challenging Carlson on X to interview him directly instead of talking about him, and Carlson quickly agreeing, setting up what could be their first face-to-face since the spat began. Israel Hayom and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency note the exchange has deepened rifts in the conservative movement over Israel, antisemitism accusations, and Christian Zionism, with Huckabee questioning if Carlson hides any love for Jews.

    Earlier this week at the World Government Summit 2026 in Dubai, Carlson clashed heatedly with presidents of Botswana, Sierra Leone, and Zimbabwe in a viral session questioning the retreat of global democracy and selective international justice, as covered by The New Africa Channel. His Tucker Carlson Network continues to thrive with fresh episodes, including one with Rep. Tim Burchett on UFO secrecy and congressional insider trading, fueling debates on government trust. He's also on a national media tour featuring guests like Russell Brand and Marjorie Taylor Greene, while fundraising expands his subscription platform.

    Reactions split along ideological lines: conservatives hail him as a counter to mainstream media, while critics like Laura Loomer accuse him of pro-Islamic bias, and figures like Ted Cruz face his challenges on Israel support. These moves underscore Carlson's growing sway in right-wing politics amid ongoing ventures post-Fox News.

  • Tucker Carlson Expands Global Influence, Challenging Establishment Narratives

    Tucker Carlson Expands Global Influence, Challenging Establishment Narratives
    Feb 8 2026
    Tucker Carlson has been highly active on the international stage, headlining at the World Government Summit in Dubai earlier this week. India Today reports he joined hosts Geeta Mohan and Marya Shakil to discuss the transformation of global media, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin's leadership in building a cohesive multiracial society and expressing admiration for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an impressive historical figure he hopes to interview soon. He criticized U.S. sanctions on Russia as absurd, pushing the country toward China and India, and highlighted risks of AI-driven propaganda while advocating engagement with Russia.

    At the same summit, DWS News covered Carlson clashing in a debate with the presidents of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Sierra Leone on China's growing influence in Africa, U.S. foreign policy missteps, and Europe's declining role, positioning the next decade as potentially African-led.

    Back home, JTA reveals a brewing showdown as U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, a former Fox colleague and evangelical Trump ally, agreed to an interview on Carlson's show after Carlson's recent video from Israel and Jordan accused him of ignoring Christian oppression there. Filmed amid raids on Christian sites and strikes in Gaza, the report urges American Christians to rethink Israel support, spotlighting Huckabee as a Christian Zionist failing Jerusalem's faithful. This feud underscores fractures in the conservative movement over antisemitism and Israel, with figures like Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro urging distance from Carlson, though he retains ties to Trump, JD Vance, and groups like Turning Point USA.

    On his Tucker Carlson Network, Podbean notes fresh episodes including one with Rep. Tim Burchett on UFO secrecy, congressional insider trading, and institutional distrust, fueling his subscription platform's growth through fundraising and patriotic investments. He's also launched a 16-day national media tour with guests like Russell Brand, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Kid Rock, Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Donald Trump Jr., building his post-Fox empire amid debates on his pro-Islamic bias accusations from Laura Loomer.

    NPR discusses a new book, Hated By All The Right People by Jason Zengerle, exploring Carlson's far-right influence. Meanwhile, he's ditched Zyn nicotine pouches for his own Alp brand after claiming they funded Kamala Harris.

    These moves amplify Carlson's sway in media and politics, challenging establishment narratives while deepening divides.

  • Tucker Carlson's Geopolitical Influence Expands: Praises India's Rise, Criticizes US Policies

    Tucker Carlson's Geopolitical Influence Expands: Praises India's Rise, Criticizes US Policies
    Feb 4 2026
    Tucker Carlson made headlines this week at the World Government Summit 2026 in Dubai, where India Today reports he declared India a great power that the US can no longer dictate terms to, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an impressive, history-defining leader alongside figures like Putin, Trump, and Erdogan. In an exclusive interview with India Today's Rahul Kanwal and Maria Shakil on February 3, Carlson criticized Joe Biden for starting a war with Russia that backfired by driving Moscow closer to China, India, and the Middle East, while defending India's right to buy Russian oil and reflecting on his own Putin interview as a model of judging leaders by results. He also discussed Trump's tariff diplomacy as an bold experiment, the collapse of legacy journalism as outdated propaganda, and the rise of independent media amid AI-driven threats.

    On February 4, Mint coverage highlighted Carlson's participation in a summit session on Africa's political and economic future, engaging with African heads of state like Presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Julius Maada Bio. These appearances underscore his growing influence in global forums, challenging Western dominance and advocating negotiation over lectures in a multipolar world.

    His media ventures continue to expand, with the Wall Street Journal noting that Omeed Malik's 1789 Capital invested $15 million in seed funding for Last Country, the subscription-driven platform Carlson launched post-Fox with Neil Patel, building on viral Twitter streams like his Trump interview.

    No major legal or professional disputes surfaced recently, though his Dubai remarks sparked buzz about shifting US-India dynamics and his critiques of sanctions. Politico briefly mentioned him alongside Hillary Clinton at a Saudi forum, finding rare common ground, fueling debates on his cross-ideological reach in politics and media.

    These developments highlight Carlson's pivot to international stages, amplifying his voice on geopolitics and media disruption while his ventures gain financial backing.

  • Tucker Carlson's International Platform Grows Amid Domestic Controversies

    Tucker Carlson's International Platform Grows Amid Domestic Controversies
    Feb 1 2026
    Tucker Carlson recently spoke at the Saudi Real Estate Future Forum in Riyadh, where he shared the stage with Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, finding common ground on at least one topic amid discussions on regional development, as reported by The New York Times. This appearance highlights his ongoing international platform despite domestic controversies.

    Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, sharply criticized Carlson this week, accusing him of a political shift driven by profit motives, particularly over Carlson's claims linking Epstein to Mossad. The Economic Times quoted Huckabee saying Carlson's current approach is more lucrative than his Fox News days, tying it to rising antisemitism concerns on the political right.

    The New Yorker magazine's latest February 2, 2026, issue features a major profile by Jason Zengerle on Carlson's political evolution, exploring his post-Fox trajectory and rightward move, with Jewish Insider also spotlighting the piece alongside surging Saudi antisemitism trends. Meanwhile, Fox Corp. acquired Red Seat Ventures to expand into podcasts, potentially reuniting the network with Carlson and Megyn Kelly, according to AOL reports.

    In a recent interview covered by MEXC, Carlson debated economist Peter Schiff on cryptocurrency, suggesting Bitcoin or Tether could replace the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency amid its weakening, though Schiff dismissed it as speculative waste without real utility.

    These developments underscore debates about Carlson's influence, with critics like Huckabee questioning his motives and media watchers analyzing his role in conservative media shifts and global discourse.

  • Headline: Tucker Carlson's Feud with Mark Levin Ignites Debate on Iran Policy and Conservative Influence

    Headline: Tucker Carlson's Feud with Mark Levin Ignites Debate on Iran Policy and Conservative Influence
    Jan 28 2026
    Tucker Carlson has ignited a fierce public clash with conservative commentator Mark Levin over U.S. policy toward Iran. Responsible Statecraft reports that Carlson posted a scathing ten-paragraph essay on X this week, accusing Levin of lobbying the White House for regime change and war after meeting with Trump officials. Carlson dismissed claims of Iran being weeks from a nuclear bomb as lies repeated since the 1990s, warning that demands for zero uranium enrichment would force a conflict many Americans would die in. The post, now over 5.4 million views strong, drew support from figures like Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, Quincy Institute's Trita Parsi, and American Conservative editor Andrew Day, who all echoed Carlson's antiwar stance amid fragile Trump administration talks.

    His media ventures continue to thrive, with CNN Business noting that venture capital firm 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. recently partnered, invests in Carlson's company alongside other conservative projects. This ties into broader scrutiny, as Democratic senators like Elizabeth Warren raised alarms over Pentagon contracts and loans worth hundreds of millions to 1789-backed firms, questioning potential conflicts.

    A new book, Hated by All the Right People by New Yorker writer Jason Zengerle, released January 27, traces Carlson's evolution from mainstream conservative to a dominant right-wing voice, highlighting his post-Fox shift further right. Fresh Air and Jewish Insider also spotlighted the book for showing how Trump's rise revived and radicalized his career.

    Carlson recently interviewed economist Peter Schiff, arguing Bitcoin or Tether could replace the weakening U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency, though Schiff called crypto a complete waste beyond speculation. He's also slated to speak at Saudi Arabia's Real Estate Future Forum alongside Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. Meanwhile, Bishop Barron publicly corrected Carlson's errant views on Catholicism in a January 27 workshop video.

    These moves underscore Carlson's growing sway in steering MAGA away from neoconservative wars while fueling debates on his influence in Trump's world.
