Let’s Get Retarded; or, Tucker Carlson and the Illusion of Independence

| This dumbass doesn't realize he's financing the next Holocaust by sponsoring The Tucker Carlson Show. |
Following work at Bill Kristol’s Weekly Standard and other magazines and broadcast stints at CNN, PBS, and MSNBC (as well as season 3 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars), Carlson joined Fox News in 2009, initially as a bit player. It was during his early years at Fox that Carlson, along with business partner and old college roommate Neil Patel [2], launched the conservative news website The Daily Caller, and Patel – with whom Carlson continues to be partnered in the Tucker Carlson Network – is key to understanding the milieu in which Carlson operates. Patel – who is also a partner with Paul Konigsberg [3] in Bluebird Asset Management, which focuses on mortgage-backed securities – previously worked at the high-powered law firm Dechert Price & Rhoads, whose top talent included the infamous Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Among Libby’s notable clients at Dechert was corrupt commodities trader and Mossad asset Marc Rich, who was pardoned by President Bill Clinton shortly before he left office. “Per Clinton’s own words and other supporting evidence, the main reason behind the Rich pardon was the heavy lobbying from Israeli intelligence, Israeli politicians, and members of the Mega Group,” writes Whitney Webb [4]. Patel, “a longtime Libby deputy” [5], followed him to the George W. Bush White House, where the future Tucker Carlson Network head served Vice President Dick Cheney from 2001 to 2004 as staff secretary and from 2005 to 2009 as chief policy adviser [6].
Neil Patel, as CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network, “oversees the business operations, strategic direction, and growth initiatives of TCN, while Carlson serves as the on-air host and content driver.” [7] “You know, my politics have changed on almost every level, pretty substantially,” Patel reassured interviewer Sagnik Basu in 2025, weakly acknowledging that he now understands the “good people” in the Bush administration “made a lot of mistakes.” Similarly attempting to bolster the credibility of Carlson’s political sea change, Patel said, “I don’t know if I know anyone who’s changed their views as much as Tucker. And I think there’s cynical people out there, mostly on the left, some on the right, who think like, oh, he’s chasing clicks, you know, he went digital and he knows where interests are […] He’s truly just trying to figure out […] and he’s seen what happened to his community. […] And so, you travel the country, you see these kinds of communities, and you realize, like, this system that I thought I believed in is just not working for, like, regular Americans, and I think that was the start of Tucker sort of reassessing.” [8]

In 2008, after the bloom was off the Bush administration’s Iraq war adventure and neoconservatism had been discredited as a brand, Carlson endorsed Ron Paul’s presidential run and traveled to Minneapolis to speak at the Rally for the Republic, a counter-convention protesting the Republican National Convention being held in Saint Paul [9]. It represented a pivot to flirtation with what was widely perceived as a disreputable fringe of conservatism, but Carlson remained disdainful of the 9/11 truth movement and the questioners of the official narrative who flocked to the Ron Paul campaign. Carlson, in fact, exited the venue when Jesse Ventura took the podium. Still speaking favorably of Paul in 2012 but denying that he was “supporting” him, Carlson was cornered by Adam Kokesh’s crew outside Paula’s Café in West Des Moines, Iowa, asked about his behavior at the 2008 Rally for the Republic, and confronted regarding his views on the destruction of the World Trade Center. Becoming contemptuous, Carlson professed to be “enraged” by Ventura’s “inside job” narrative and added, “I hate that 9/11 crap.” “Knock it off,” he told the interviewer, also insulting him as a “moron” and “parasite” [10].
As late as May of 2015 – one month before Trump’s announcement of his presidential candidacy – Carlson remained a mostly unremarkable figure, decrying as “Nazi stuff” the Obama administration’s engagement with identity politics during a phone interview on The Alex Jones Show as an image of Obama with a Hitler mustache appeared on a screen behind Jones’s desk [11]. That Carlson consented to be interviewed by Jones at all, however, is noteworthy, given that the Fox News contributor had groaned at the mention of the Infowars huckster during the West Des Moines encounter three years earlier. “I tell you what, I don’t want any Alex Jones people in my house,” Carlson had told Kokesh: “Alex Jones freaks me out.” His abrupt transition from wanting to “kick those people out” of the conservative movement to putting in a guest appearance on Jones’s program illustrates Carlson’s adaptability and willingness to change tack amid shifting market winds – and exchanges of money.

| Why is Tucker Carlson offshoring jobs? |
During the second half of 2016, in the months preceding the debut of his primetime Fox News program, Carlson is reported to have “received a six-figure sum from the Donald Trump campaign for president through his Daily Caller operation – which rented out its email list to Trump,” writes Calvin Sloan of the Center for Media and Democracy:
Carlson never disclosed the Trump campaign cash to his viewers on FOX News, even as he analyzed the presidential race. […]CMD – which analyzed emails sent by the Trump campaign to The Daily Caller subscribers – estimates that Carlson’s Daily Caller received at least $150,000 from the Trump campaign in the months right before the November election based on the fee charged for mailings to its list, though the full extent of the funding is unknown.CMD also examined the relationship between the non-profit and for-profit arms of Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller operations. The mechanics of how they operate together raise serious concerns about whether Carlson’s tax-free nonprofit is operating primarily for the private benefit of his for-profit media outlet, which would be a violation of tax law.CMD’s findings raise questions about Carlson’s approach to financial conflicts of interest, journalistic standards, and more as he takes over the lead primetime slot at FOX News. [12]
Following the emergence of the openly racialist Alt-Right phenomenon and the election of Donald Trump, Carlson endeavored to make mainstream conservative discourse more competitive, catering to White discontent and even offering critiques of capitalism, plutocracy, and neoconservative foreign policy on Tucker Carlson Tonight. These currents had been roiling online for some time, contributing to a mounting impatience with conventional Republican Party politics. Carlson, rebranding to meet a new necessity, would help save conservatism from itself by maintaining Millennials’ interest in at least one Fox News time slot. “Trump and Carlson were locked in a folie à deux that made each other’s careers,” as Lyz Lenz describes the period of the first Trump administration for The Guardian:
As Trump railed against Muslims, Carlson aired aggrieved segments about Macy’s selling hijabs. Together, they tapped into a nativist anger in America. Trump’s audience was Carlson’s audience. […]And the connection between Trump and Carlson wasn’t accidental. They often texted and conversed. Trump sought Carlson’s advice on his presidential run. And while past presidents have had close relationships with media figures, theirs was more transactional. […][…] people I talked to for the story insisted that Carlson didn’t believe what he said because it was just entertainment. And as his texts from the Dominion lawsuit show, he didn’t believe some of what he was claiming every night. [13]
Carlson utilized his Fox program to pour gasoline on the fire of Trump’s hoax about Democrats having stolen the 2020 election through fraud and he further sought to minimize the seriousness of Trump’s attempt to overturn the election with a riot, presenting cherrypicked footage of putative insurrectionists confusedly meandering through the Capitol. “The previously successful news presenter left the network after it settled a defamation case brought against it by Dominion Voting Systems over claims by Trump allies that the 2020 presidential election was rigged,” relates Newsweek’s Aleks Phillips [14] – even if some of his anti-Semitic apologists preferred to believe that heterodox racial or foreign policy views expressed on Tucker Carlson Tonight had been the true cause of its 2023 cancellation rather than the nearly $800 million Fox agreed to pay Dominion. Representing Carlson in his disputes with Fox were entertainment attorney Bryan Freedman and Harmeet Dhillon, who currently serves as Donald Trump’s assistant attorney general at the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice [15]. “Fox News’ ratings for primetime slots among key demographics of cable television viewers have declined sharply since the departure of Tucker Carlson, with the latest figures showing rival MSNBC overtaking the conservative juggernaut,” Phillips noted after the rupture [16]. Carlson, meanwhile, took his openly homosexual [17] executive producer, Justin Wells, along with him to his media startup [18].
“I think Elon [Musk] called him that first day [after Carlson left Fox], too, and he, like, ramped right up with his Tucker on X stuff,” Patel recalls [19]. Musk’s project of transforming Twitter into a safe space for right-wing psychological operations was already well underway. By the end of 2023, however, Tucker on X had lost its star to Patel’s new Tucker Carlson Network. YouTube, TCN’s most visible hub of distribution, “makes it simple to generate revenue and reach new audiences,” observes Adweek’s Mark Stenberg in a November 2025 article titled “The Future of Media Is Being Built on YouTube”. For one thing, the site “connects viewers with a specific person, often in a very intimate capacity” [20] – such as recording in a remote cabin in Maine, like the property where Carlson claims to have been “physically mauled in a spiritual attack by a demon” [21]. “YouTube also makes it simple to generate revenue and reach new audiences,” Stenberg adds, noting that other factors have “pushed publishers onto the platform” to maintain competitiveness. “The last year has seen a flurry of creator and podcast acquisition,” he also relates [22].
Handling behind-the-scenes production, marketing, and monetization for TCN’s The Tucker Carlson Show and a stable of other politics and true crime podcasts is Red Seat Ventures, a company formed in 2015 by Chris Balfe, former CEO of TheBlaze. Among Red Seat’s early clients were Hollywood mogul Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions and – unsurprisingly – radio giant Premiere Networks, the home of Glenn Beck [23]. Balfe’s enterprise’s roster of current and former clients and creators includes still-alive Bill O’Reilly, Bari Weiss, Megyn Kelly, Jesse Kelly, Piers Morgan, The New York Post, Brett Cooper, Jillian Michaels, Dana Loesch, Vivek Ramaswamy, Sean Spicer, Mark Halperin, Emily Jashinsky, Rita Panahi, Will Cain, Greg Gutfeld, and gay conservative influencer Link Lauren. This, moreover, is not a complete list. “Due to confidentiality arrangements,” Red Seat’s website apologizes, “we are unable to publicly list our entire portfolio of clients.” [24] The Red Seat model fosters an ecosystem of mutually reinforcing hype and publicity, with creators in the stable putting in appearances on each other’s programs. Thus, Red Seat personality Emily Jashinsky’s After Party hosts Read Seat alumni Megyn Kelly, Maureen Callahan, and Mark Halperin; Red Seat personality Jillian Michaels’s Keeping It Real hosts Red Seat alumni Sean Spicer, Bill O’Reilly, and Eric Bolling; Red Seat personality Megyn Kelly’s The Megyn Kelly Show hosts Red Seat alumni Maureen Callahan, Emily Jashinsky, and Mark Halperin; Red Seat personality Piers Morgan’s Piers Morgan Uncensored hosts Red Seat alumni Maureen Callahan, Bill O’Reilly, and Eric Bolling; and Red Seat personality Tucker Carlson’s The Tucker Carlson Show hosts Red Seat alumni Megyn Kelly, Mark Halperin, and Piers Morgan – and so on, interminably.
Carlson, as Red Seat’s biggest draw, is discussed incessantly by the company’s commentariat, with Red Seat cutie and Fox News contributor Brett Cooper, for instance, clapping back at the likes of Mark Levin: “you can scream all you want about Tucker Carlson, but you will never attack him into irrelevance.” [25] For viewers put off by Carlson’s antics, Red Seat second stringer Dana Loesch has them covered with outrage bait like “Why Did Tucker Carlson PLATFORM Nick Fuentes Like This?!” and “Tucker Carlson’s H*tler Remark Is The Ultimate Head-Scratcher”. Red Seat’s strategy involves not only constant Carlson-boosting and fawning but unending Carlson controversies. The idea is that Tucker Carlson not only comments on the news, but is the news, his name forever on the lips of infotainment creators and consumers.
Confirming Carlson’s full integration into the mainstream conservative media market, The Hollywood Reporter publicized an unexpected reunion in February of 2025:
In a major podcast and digital media deal that shakes up the landscape, Fox Corp. has acquired Red Seat Ventures.Red Seat Ventures produces audio and video podcasts and other programming with talent that includes a slew of former Fox and cable news stars.Among Red Seat’s clients are Megyn Kelly, whose show streams on YouTube and runs on SiriusXM, and Tucker Carlson, who was ousted by Fox two years ago. Another former Fox host, Bill O’Reilly, is also a client, as is Dr. Phil. Former CNN host Piers Morgan and former HLN host Nancy Grace are also clients of Red Seat.Founded by Chris Balfe and his brother Kevin Balfe, Red Seat provides production, distribution, branding and sales services for creators, with a particular emphasis on right-leaning politics and true crime (former To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen is also a client, and the company produces the annual CrimeCon conference). Chris and Kevin Balfe will continue to run Red Seat as an [ostensibly] independent brand.Red Seat Ventures is one of the most influential companies at the heart of the emerging news, talk and information creator economy. President Trump largely ignored the mainstream media in his last campaign, choosing to make appearances on podcasts and digital programs hosted by the likes of Joe Rogan and Theo Von. In a dramatically changing media landscape, these emerging programs have surged in popularity and influence, often at the expense of traditional or mainstream media.President Trump, in his final rally before the election, invited Kelly to be one of the guest speakers, underscoring her resurgent influence.“From the beginning, Red Seat Ventures has had the opportunity to work with some of the most influential creators in the world to grow their new media businesses and develop their personal brands,” said Chris Balfe in a statement. “In aligning with Fox, we will be able to build upon that investment and expand the services we provide to our creators, while continuing to maintain the independence and integrity of their brands, which is truly the best case scenario.”The deal is likely to be a first volley among traditional media companies as they try to buy their way to influence and reach in a rapidly-changing media environment. As THR reported last week, essentially every news brand is holding talks with podcasters and digital creators, either for outright acquisition deals (as is the case with Red Seat) or content licensing deals. […]Notably, per The New York Times, which first reported the deal, Red Seat will be placed in Fox’s Tubi division, putting it at a [cosmetic] remove from Fox News Channel. In other words, Kelly, Carlson and O’Reilly won’t be in business with their former employer, per se. [26]
Red Seat effectively functions as a Fox cutout furnishing plausible deniability of unity of the various brands and entities, a reality that prompted a Snopes-style buttock-covering item (“Fact Check: Has Fox Brought Back Tucker Carlson?”) from Newsweek, which happens to be edited by Josh Hammer, a recurring guest on The Megyn Kelly Show. “False,” Newsweek begs readers to believe [27]. (Funnily, a search for “Tucker Carlson” while logged out of Google on YouTube even generates a Fox News advertisement above the retrieved results.) Significantly, Tubi, which acquired Red Seat, is the Fox Corporation division devoted to wasting people’s time with online entertainment slop – a function the Tucker Carlson Network performs par excellence with video uploads like “John Leake: The Demonic Rituals to Replicate God and Mankind’s New Religion of Science”; “Alex Jones Warns of the Globalist Death Cult Fueling the Next Civil War and the Rise of the Antichrist”; “New Underwater UFO Sightings and the Non-Human Tech the Government Is Hiding”; and “The Occult, Kabbalah, the Antichrist’s Newest Manifestation, and How to Avoid the Mark of the Beast”. The intensifying stupidity of Carlson’s content appears to have coincided with the beginning of his relationships with Elon Musk, Red Seat, and a cohort of Trump-connected financiers.
Crucial to understanding Carlson’s post-Fox-and-Fox-again career and rising political importance is his relationship with a group of donors and power players known as the Rockbridge Network. “In 2019, a small group of right-wing donors rented a resort outside the 100-person town of Rockbridge, Ohio, for a summit to secure the future of the MAGA movement,” reveals Elizabeth Dwoskin in The Washington Post:
They aimed to turn a singular candidate – President Donald Trump – into an enduring political coalition, with a pipeline of voters, donors and candidates that would cement a radical transformation of the GOP.Convened by Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel and JD Vance, then an investor who had written a best-selling memoir, the meeting included hedge fund heiress Rebekah Mercer, then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson and economist Oren Cass, according to two people familiar with the meeting. […]But the person in the room who would solidify the group’s ambitions was someone with a decidedly lower profile: an Arizona insurance entrepreneur and conservative media figure named Chris Buskirk.Today, Buskirk helms the Rockbridge Network, a secretive organization birthed out of the weekend gathering that has established itself as one of the most influential forces in GOP politics. Political strategists credit the close-knit network of businessmen-cum-donors with helping fuel the president’s reelection last year and propelling one of its own – Vance – into the vice presidency.With significant funding from tech leaders, Rockbridge aims to equip MAGA to outlive Trump. The group has no website or public-facing entity, but it has assembled pollsters, data crunchers, online advertisers and even a documentary film arm. It is gearing up to deploy its arsenal in the 2026 midterms and in the 2028 presidential contest, in which many Rockbridge members hope Vance will be the nominee. The group has assembled a database with deep profiles of potential voters through nonpolitical memberships, including outdoors groups and churches, according to a person directly familiar with the organization.Buskirk’s ties to Trump’s orbit go beyond Rockbridge. 1789 Capital, the venture capital firm he co-founded with investor Omeed Malik, focuses on what the partners call “patriotic capitalism” and now counts Donald Trump Jr. as a partner. […]Today, the group’s vibe is euphoric. Interest has surged since the election, according to Buskirk, with roughly half of new members coming from the tech industry. Several of the group’s members are billionaires; prominent investors Marc Andreessen and David Sacks are already members. [28]
1789 Capital, which exceeded $1 billion in assets in 2025, provided financing for Carlson’s post-Fox venture with Patel, who has “declined to provide financial specifics.” [29] Moreover, Carlson has maintained close relations with the Rockbridge Network since its inception. He lauded Peter Thiel as a sage warning about the dangers of Big Tech in a 2019 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight [30] and confided to Alex Jones in 2025 that he and Thiel had discussed the Antichrist “at great length” [31]. He hosted Chris Buskirk to promote a book on a 2023 episode of Tucker Carlson Today [32]; featured Oren Cass on The Tucker Carlson Show in May of 2025; appeared on the All-In Podcast of David Sacks in December of 2025 and hosted Sacks on The Tucker Carlson Show in January of 2026. He also recently premiered a TCN-members-only documentary, The Lanai Experience, in which “Donald Trump Jr. and his son hunt axis deer on the volcanic ridges of Lanai, passing down the skills and traditions that connect generations to the land and to each other.” [33] In 2024 Rebekah Mercer’s Parler sponsored a speaking tour, functionally an arm of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, that teamed Carlson with his fellow Red Seat Venturers Vivek Ramaswamy, Jesse Kelly, and Megyn Kelly as well as Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and Roseanne Barr [34].
A leaked Signal chat shows that Carlson at one point was involved in a group conversation with Rockbridge insider and Andreessen Horowitz founder Marc Andreessen as well as David Sacks [35]. Importantly, more than one of Carlson’s Rockbridge Network associations have enjoyed connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the state of Israel. “Andreessen Horowitz notably backs Carbyne911, the Israeli intelligence-linked pre-crime start-up funded by Epstein and his close associate, former prime minister of Israel Ehud Barak,” points out Whitney Webb [36], who further notes that “Carbyne also boasted ties at the time to the [first] Trump administration, including Palantir founder and Trump ally Peter Thiel” [37]. As recent revelations detail, moreover, Thiel was personally acquainted with Epstein and consulted him on the subject of cryptocurrency [38].
Axios in June of 2025 reported that Carlson and Patel “bought out investors in their media company, Tucker Carlson Network (TCN),” in a deal that “gives the pair complete independence and total control of the company they co-founded in 2023”, suggesting a break with the Rockbridge-aligned 1789 Capital – but neglected to mention Fox’s recent acquisition of Red Seat Ventures, the company handling Carlson’s media networking, marketing, and monetization. “It’s hard to claim you’re independent when other people own your company, so we decided not to take investments or loans of any kind,” he told Axios, which failed to observe the simple fact that, having already received the necessary capital infusion to launch and make the venture profitable, Carlson’s boast was empty [39]. His phrasing is telling, as well, in that it centers the “claim”, or the management of the perception of independence. The involvement of Donald Trump Jr. and TCN’s indebtedness to 1789 Capital had been receiving scrutiny from The New York Times [40], Media Matters for America [41], Revolving Door Project [42], Mother Jones [43], HuffPost [44], Forbes [45], and other outlets in the leadup to the buyout deal.
Carlson’s most significant Epstein-connected association, however, is with Donald Trump himself, who graciously granted Carlson a high-profile interview for his new Tucker on X venture in 2023, featured Carlson prominently at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and defended Carlson in the aftermath of his October 2025 Nick Fuentes interview, telling the Associated Press, “I found him to be good […] I think he’s good, we’ve had some good interviews. […] But you can’t tell him who to interview. I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don’t know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out. […] Ultimately, people have to decide.” [46] Preposterously, Carlson more recently revealed to Cenk Uygur that he happened to sit in “totally by accident” on a White House meeting with oil industry figures [47].

| Do these look like two people who consider each other enemies? |
Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy, is “a confidant of Tucker Carlson” according to London’s The Times [48], and Carlson was photographed chummily socializing with Miller’s wife Katie in the White House Rose Garden in October of 2025 [49]. Miller, as one of the key figures cultivating a “based” image for the Trump administration – “Trump’s architect of mass human rights abuses at the border” according to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; a “white nationalist” in the words of Ilhan Omar; and a “neo-Nazi” in the estimation of former HUD Secretary Julian Castro [50] – undoubtedly appreciates putative “anti-Semite” Carlson’s special knack for appealing to the inconveniently opinionated among the electorate and steering their understanding of events, even when performatively critical of the administration.
The access Carlson continues to enjoy at the Trump White House plausibly creates an impression that elements within the administration remain open to Zio-skeptical viewpoints – a ruse echoed by Carlson’s indulgence of the popular conspiracy theory according to which Turning Point USA figurehead Charlie Kirk was assassinated because of supposed reservations about US support for Israel. Ridiculously comparing Zionist operative Kirk to Jesus Christ at a September 2025 memorial event, Carlson’s “guys […] eating hummus” dog whistle conjured a fantasy in which a cabal of powerful Jews were fearful of burgeoning revolution within Kirk’s milquetoast organization and ordered him silenced [51] – a pretense that could only serve to furnish TPUSA with unearned glory and encourage recruitment among naïve nativists – or, more likely, burnish Carlson’s growing reputation as a loose cannon. Stephen Miller, too, spoke at the Kirk memorial event, and the idea that Carlson took him by surprise with the dog whistle is questionable. Far from distancing itself from Carlson in the fallout of the “eating hummus” episode, TPUSA spotlighted Carlson again as the headliner replacing Kirk at an event on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus in October [52]. (Carlson would again hint at a conspiracy when he insinuated in December of the same year that “national security” had something to do with hampering the investigation of the assassination [53].)
Carlson’s relationship with fellow Rockbridge Network alumnus and current Vice President JD Vance is substantial. “When you line up Vance’s full range of media appearances since he burst into the American consciousness, it’s difficult to overstate Carlson’s influence: from poor ‘hillbilly’ to New York Times bestselling author to Republican Senator to possibly the second-most powerful person in the country,” writes Kat Abughazaleh:
Carlson put Vance on a pedestal, giving him time to mold his image from a center-right-ish commentator to an ultra-conservative crusader in the culture wars. According to Media Matters, Vance appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight 46 times between 2018 and 2023, when Carlson was fired from the network. This coverage paired with Carlson’s frequent and passionate endorsements of Vance [which] portrayed him as a viable option for Vice President […]
Tucker Carlson saw something in JD Vance: a vessel for power, for billionaires’ dollars, and for a vision of the future Carlson never got to finalize at Fox. [54]
Vance went on to appear on the Tucker Carlson Network and took part in the Mercer-backed Tucker Carlson Live Tour during the 2024 campaign. Vance’s Jewish chief of staff, Jacob Reses (i.e., Vance’s handler), started out as an intern at Carlson’s Daily Caller and boasts a résumé that includes membership in the student group Tigers for Israel, “a lobbying trip to Washington, D.C., to press lawmakers on Iran sanctions and aid to Israel”, editorializing in Princeton’s student newspaper against “the prospect of the United Nations accepting a Palestinian application for membership, which would amount to an international recognition of Palestinian statehood”, and subsequently serving as a legal fellow at the Tikvah Fund, “a think tank dedicated to melding Jewish tradition and conservatism.” [55] Working under Reses is Vance’s deputy press secretary, Carlson’s son Buckley. Vance has brushed off calls to denounce Tucker Carlson for his courtship of a racist audience and his dabbling in “antisemitism” [56] and even attacked as a “scumbag” a journalist who characterized “racism and antisemitism” as a “Carlson family trait” [57]. Vance also “raised eyebrows recently after he failed to push back against a college student who asked him why the United States should continue to support Israel while claiming that Jews ‘openly support the persecution’ of Christians.” [58] Given Vance’s loyalty to Carlson and Carlson’s likely role in providing favorable presentation of a Vance presidential run to his alt-conservative audience, it is not unreasonable to assume that Buckley Carlson stands to be promoted in the event of Vance’s elevation to the presidency – a prospect that in turn would further incentivize Carlson to continue to make himself useful to Vance.
Carlson’s apologists argue that his unfavorable coverage of Israel and expressions of sympathy for the Palestinian people demonstrate the sincerity of his opposition to Jewish power. The guests booked by his program give little indication of such an aversion, however. Jewish guests of The Tucker Carlson Show in the last year alone include Peter Schiff, Anthony Rubin, Joe Spector, Sam Altman, Jeffrey Sachs, Glenn Greenwald, Dave Smith, Mike Benz, Oren Cass, Bret Weinstein, Steve Witkoff, and Sam Bankman-Fried. Given Carlson’s associations with figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein specifically – such as Steve Bannon, a recurring guest on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Tucker on X, and The Tucker Carlson Show, whose War Room program has also hosted Carlson, and someone the latter has celebrated as “one of the deepest thinkers on the right” [59] – an examination of Carlson’s pattern of misleading framing of the Epstein controversy is highly instructive.

| Alexandra "Lexi" Ciccone, Carlson's booking director since the Tucker Carlson Tonight days, casts Epstein as a Democrat problem. |
A January 2023 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight stoked suspicions about Epstein’s mysterious “suicide” and scapegoated Trump’s attorney general, William Barr, in the cover-up – without, however, implicating Trump. Carlson did, however, point out that “an Obama-appointed judge dropped all charges” against guards who had falsified records relating to Epstein’s incarceration and death, implying a Democratic Party motive to conceal the facts [60]. In August of the same year, he conducted an interview with Trump for Tucker on X and raised the Epstein matter again. “I read Barr’s account,” Carlson told Trump: “he lies about Jeffrey Epstein’s death.” Carlson went on to allege that Epstein was assassinated and asked Trump why Barr failed to investigate the circumstances of Epstein’s death, eliciting a slippery answer from Trump, who identified Barr as one of the unreliable “Bushies” in his first administration:
I don’t know what Barr said about it […] Bill Barr didn’t do an investigation on the election fraud, either, okay? He said he did, and he pretended he did, but he didn’t […] Barr became so petrified, so frightened of being impeached, they were going to impeach him […] But they said we’re going to impeach, you know they play a much rougher game, the left, the lunatics. And they were going to impeach Bill Barr and he was petrified. Now how do you not get impeached? Don’t do any of this stuff. […] I think he [i.e., Epstein] probably committed suicide. […] A lot of people think that he was killed. He knew a lot on a lot of people. […] A case could be made […]
Trump’s insinuation, which went unchallenged by Carlson, was that Barr had stymied the investigation into Epstein’s death to appease Democrats, who feared revelations about Epstein’s connections to their party. Carlson then proceeded to facilitate Trump’s escape from the line of questioning, transitioning to a prompt that conflated Epstein’s murder with a crescendo of protests, lawfare, and violence directed against Trump [61]. Early in 2024 TCN published a Tucker Carlson Interview segment with Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark, directing suspicion at the Department of Justice, William Barr, and “the government” but, again, never mentioning Trump [62]. As the 2024 election neared, Trump’s allies would leverage the Epstein story and lurid threats to children to sway conspiracy-minded voters. In a September appearance on stage with Carlson in Reading, Pennsylvania, as part of the Tucker Carlson Live tour, Alex Jones suggested that Republicans were traditionally blackmailed with homosexual kompromat, “but for the Democrats and some Republicans like Hastert […] Let me tell ya, they’re not just raping kids, that Epstein island stuff […] They’re killin’ kids, ladies and gentlemen.” [63] Most bizarrely, Carlson would prompt a rant from Roseanne Barr about the existence of “full-on vampires” who “love the taste of human flesh” during another Tucker Carlson Live event the following night in Fort Worth, Texas. “They’re not even investigating the Epstein murder,” Carlson pointed out: “They promised an investigation, they’ve never done it.” Barr then explained that “they eat babies” on Epstein’s island, further insisting that Trump would “open up everybody’s eyes”. “You’re freakin’ me out, man,” Carlson told her, “because you’ve spent your life in the entertainment business, so I think you have some authority on this.” [64] “You know, I think part of why Kamala [Harris] is getting so much support is that, if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is going to become public,” Elon Musk tantalized Carlson’s online audience in October: “And some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.” “Yeah,” Carlson agreed [65].
Following Trump’s election, with no movement from the administration on releasing the bulk of the Epstein files, Carlson would resort to a strategy of minimization and deflection. Hosting Shawn Ryan for a discussion of conspiracies on The Tucker Carlson Show in May of 2025, Carlson attempted to deemphasize the Israeli specificity of the interests Epstein represented and then hinted that Trump was afraid to release the files because deep state agents had threatened his life:
I think it was a blackmail operation run by the CIA and the Israeli intel services and probably others. You know, French intelligence always has a hand in everything, I’ve noticed, so probably them, too. You know, but the usual, you know, darkest forces in the world colluding to make rich and powerful people obey their agenda. […]I mean, there’s also, at least in me, the growing sense that it’s not just blackmail that makes people obey, it’s not just bribery, it’s also the threat of violence. […] I think every US president has been threatened with violence implicitly because of the murder of John F. Kennedy. I’ve known a bunch of presidents and I think every one of ‘em understands that, you know, it’s pretty obvious what happened there. […] And no one has, unto this day, released all the files. And, like, why is that? Because the message is really clear, you know, if you get too far outside the boundaries, like, you could wind up like JFK. [66]
“I’m disgusted by the whole thing,” Carlson told Charlie Kirk at a live event in July, voicing criticism for the administration’s handling of the Epstein material while continuing to defend Trump’s honor:
The point of electing Trump, and it’s a real point – and by the way, I think he can make good on it – but is that the two parties are in alignment in a very sinister way with each other on the big issues. You don’t really get a choice. […] And Trump is the option [i.e., alternative] to the two-party megalith. And this last week, a decision that the attorney general made – I don’t think out of malice, I think out of incompetence – gives the impression that Trump is in on it, and that’s a terrible thing, it’s very discouraging for his voters, including me, someone who campaigned for him. I don’t think Trump is in on it, by the way, just in point of fact. [67]
A few days later Carlson hosted Darryl Cooper for an informative exploration of Epstein’s background, again singling out William Barr in the cover-up of Epstein’s death. Strategically laced into the discussion, however, were digressions about Pizzagate and Tony Podesta’s art collection that focused attention back onto Democrat targets [68].
The Shawn Ryan Show hosted Carlson in November to discuss Epstein yet again. “Look at this shit, the Epstein files,” Ryan introduced the topic: “The American people are fuckin’ screaming at you, screaming that they want this shit released. […] Now we got a guy [Trump] who’s, oh, America First, all this other fuckin’ bullshit, and – and everybody, everybody is screaming release these fuckin’ files.” Carlson, again refraining from implicating Trump, was keen to include governments besides Israel’s as culprits in Epstein’s operations, deemphasize the urgency of releasing the files, and state the problem in terms of generalities:
What would we find out if they were all released? Anything we didn’t know? […] C.S. Lewis has – I think it was C.S. Lewis has this essay in which he says […] if Jesus came back to Earth tomorrow and held a press conference, like, a week later people would be talking about something else. […] We actually know what’s true. […] And so of course we know exactly what the Epstein story is about. It’s about the deep corruption of global leadership, of course. And you can say it’s about Israel, it’s about the CIA. Well, it’s about – is there a distinction, really? Not just between Israel and, you know, Mossad and CIA, but about the British government or really kind of any government or […] Bill Gates or Leon Black? It’s all kind of varieties of the same thing. It’s corrupt leadership that is acting on its own behalf against the interests of the people they lead. It’s the oldest story there is. It’s the Pharisees. And if we’re honest, we already know that. So […] I’m completely for disclosure of everything, but I don’t lie to myself and say disclosure would change human nature because it won’t. […]It’s pretty clear who some of the players were. They were governments. The US government – involved. British government – involved. Israeli government – involved. At various levels […] He was pretty active in government work, arms trading, for example […] He got into that business with Robert Maxwell. You don’t trade arms by yourself. You do it on behalf of governments and with the assistance of governments […] he’s intersecting with governments, and it’s not just the Israelis. I mean, Israelis were definitely involved. Ehud Barak is living at his house. I mean, okay? And we have a lot of his emails that prove that, but – and I’m not defending the Israeli government, which is hard to defend – but I’m just telling the, trying to tell the truth, which is it’s not just the Israelis. It’s us, it’s the British, the French. It’s the usual players, the intel services that matter in the West, and probably others. So that’s who’s being protected, of course.
Carlson’s tactic as the conversation meandered was to emphasize the “spiritual” dimension of political problems, invoking concepts like “Satan”. He did, however, later return to the topic of Epstein in an attempt to diminish his importance by characterizing the forces motivating American foreign policy as “dumb”: “You start to assume that Jeffrey Epstein is this, like, Svengali and he’s, like, he’s a genius and he’s controlling everything,” Carlson said, waving his arms in sarcastic puppeteering gestures, “and then you read his emails. He’s like a fuckin’ moron from Staten Island who can barely speak English.” [69]
Carlson’s response to the release of millions of files at the end of January 2026 was to dip into his Epstein-connected friend Steve Bannon’s bag of MAGA 1.0 tricks, hosting Ian Carroll for a resuscitation of the Seth Rich DNC email leak conspiracy theory and a discussion of Democrat-focused Pizzagate lore and “religious rituals, sexual in nature […] rituals involving children underway in the United States and the West” – with Trump, as usual, escaping Carlson’s scrutiny, though Kash Patel and Pam Bondi were at least name-dropped unfavorably [70]. The 2016 conspiracy narrative holds that DNC staffer Seth Rich, reputedly a Bernie Sanders supporter, had leaked John Podesta’s emails – the emails that would spawn Pizzagate – to WikiLeaks as revenge for the Democratic Party’s sabotage of Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton, and that powerful Democrats had him killed in retaliation. In a report that was subsequently retracted for lack of “editorial scrutiny” [71], Fox News cited “law enforcement sources” claiming Rich “had leaked thousands of internal emails to WikiLeaks” [72], with Bannon’s Breitbart – a news organization that, by its own admission, was “conceived in Israel” [73] – also boosting the Seth Rich angle. As journalist Michael Isikoff told NPR’s Fresh Air in 2019:
[…] there is evidence […] that the Trump White House itself was quietly promoting this story, quietly fanning the flames. Steve Bannon, senior White House counselor at the time, is in a text exchange with a CBS 60 Minutes producer by the name of Ira Rosen, who read us the text exchange he has with Bannon in March of 2017 in which Bannon is telling him that the Seth Rich story is a huge story. It was a contract kill, obviously, Bannon writes. So that’s the first hard evidence we have that the Seth Rich story was in fact being pushed by a very senior person in the Trump White House. [74]
The irony of Carlson’s recycling of Bannon’s conspiracy theory as a response to the Epstein file dump is that Bannon himself had substantial dealings with Epstein, as reported by Byline Times in an article published one day before Carlson’s most recent program featuring Bannon. “For years, Bannon – the architect of MAGA, Trump’s first campaign manager and former White House chief strategist – has used his War Room podcast to promote QAnon conspiracy theories about the Democrat Party as a cabal of child molesters,” writes Nafeez Ahmed. Meanwhile, “Jeffrey Epstein – long portrayed by the Republican right as part of a deep state liberal conspiracy – was providing strategic, financial and media support to the very heart of Trump’s MAGA movement, working directly with Steve Bannon on political planning in Europe and US campaign messaging from 2018 to 2019” [75] – facts viewers should not expect to see highlighted by The Tucker Carlson Show anytime soon.
Far from an independent firebrand burning bridges and venturing out on his own into the political wilderness, the Fox, post-Fox, and Fox-again models of Tucker Carlson represent upgrades of sophisticated technology deployed in the twenty-first century psychological warfare battlespace. “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves,” goes a probably apocryphal aphorism popularly attributed to V.I. Lenin. Regardless of whether the Bolshevik leader ever suggested such a stratagem, Tucker Carlson appears to have mastered the ruse of aggressive mimicry – the evolutionary tack of predators and parasites that misrepresent themselves as fellows of their prey or host – and his mock-earnestly quizzical glare is his condescending mirroring of the expression he imagines on the faces of the rubes who uncritically consume his content.
