About this listen

 Tucker Carlson made headlines this week with a explosive claim on the Judge Nap podcast, stating that a member of Congress informed him lawmakers were briefed on Tuesday that President Trump would announce a war against Venezuela during his address to the nation on Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Ahram Online and Marca reports detailed Carlson's warning that the war is coming amid Trump's total blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers and the largest U.S. naval armada ever assembled in South America, escalating tensions with Nicolas Maduro's regime. This sparked widespread reactions, with YouTube clips from Democracy Now amplifying the buzz and international figures like Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum urging the UN to prevent bloodshed, while China condemned U.S. bullying.

Mediaite's 2025 Most Influential in News Media list ranked Carlson at number 46, praising his independent success with over five million YouTube subscribers, his subscription service, and a recent live tour featuring guests like Alex Jones and Donald Trump Jr. The ranking notes his growing yet divisive influence, including heated interviews with Senator Ted Cruz and Nick Fuentes that drew millions of views and backlash over conspiracy theories and white nationalism, fueling debates on the Republican Party's post-Trump direction.

No new legal or professional developments emerged, but Carlson's Venezuela comments underscore his role in shaping MAGA foreign policy discussions, positioning him as a key voice challenging mainstream narratives on interventions. His ongoing media ventures continue to thrive without Fox News backing, maintaining national relevance through provocative public appearances.
