Tucker Carlson continues to dominate headlines as tensions within Trump's MAGA movement escalate over his controversial stance on Israel. Just days ago, Carlson conducted a nearly three-hour interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, framing their discussion around what he called "America's deeply unhealthy relationship with Israel." The visit sparked immediate backlash, with Carlson claiming he was briefly detained by Israeli authorities, though officials characterized it as routine passport screening.Ambassador Huckabee has become one of Carlson's most vocal critics within the administration. Speaking to All Israel News, Huckabee expressed strong disapproval of Carlson's repeated attacks on Trump's Israel policy, stating he hopes the White House stops allowing Carlson access. According to reporting, Carlson was at the White House on Monday, though the White House has not officially confirmed the purpose of the visit.The civil war within Republican circles has intensified significantly. Laura Loomer, a prominent Trump supporter and Jewish activist, launched a scathing attack on Carlson, accusing him of attacking Trump publicly while privately requesting White House meetings. She called for the administration to issue an official statement condemning him. Conservative commentator Mark Levin also weighed in, calling Carlson "toxic" and urging GOP leadership to distance themselves from him.On the media front, Carlson's independent venture continues to gain traction. Since leaving Fox News in 2023, he's built a substantial digital following through his show on X and YouTube, with episodes routinely drawing millions of views. According to media reports, he's exploring new projects including subscription-based content and exclusive video series, positioning himself as a leader in the shift away from traditional cable news toward independent digital platforms.A recent controversy emerged regarding a sponsorship deal with Hallow, a Catholic prayer and meditation app. The partnership, announced on February 18, prompted polarized reactions from Christian users. Some said they planned to abandon the app due to the association, while others praised the collaboration. The announcement occurred as Carlson was promoting an interview with evangelical pastor Fares Abraham discussing Middle Eastern Christians and Israeli occupation.Trump has reportedly urged Carlson privately to tone down his Israel rhetoric, though no public rebuke has materialized. Political analysts note that Carlson maintains significant influence over a vocal segment of Trump's base, making any major rift within the movement potentially damaging to Republican unity heading into 2026 midterm elections.According to Washington Post reporting, Carlson's activities may particularly complicate matters for Vice President JD Vance, who has benefited from Carlson's support but now carries the political baggage associated with the commentator's controversial positions.Thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

Alan Skorski interviewed Thane Rosenbaum whose recent book, Beyond Proportionality: Israel's Just War in Gaza outlines how the IDF not only fought within accordance of international law, but performed at unparalleled levels to minimize non-combatant fatalities that no other army in the world has ever done. Following Rosenbaum's summary of his book during the opening of the interview the focus then shifted to his recently published a column, titled, If the Horseshow Fits…Saddle Up which raised awareness of the rise of antisemitism from the right, which was unheard of just a few years ago. According to Professor Rosenbaum, the antisemitism on the left has been more organized from the start than anything coming from the right. “The left has a stranglehold” on some of the most important institutions which hold all the reigns of power, starting with our universities. In sharp contrast, the antisemitism coming from the right, which Rosenbaum calls “guttural antisemitism,” isn't anything new, just the same old trash we heard in the 1930's, and from antisemites in every previous century. On the left, there is unity in their war against Israel, Zionism, and the Jews. Whereas on the Right, who else do they really have besides Tucker Carlson, who, according to Professor Rosenbaum, isn't very educated, and nothing he says is terribly profound. During the interview, Skorski reminded his audience that while the Left is united with little to no fracture in their ranks, there are many pro-Israel Christians who have pushed back hard against the charlatans masquerading as Christians like Carlson, Candace Owens, and most recently, Carrie Prejean Boller, who was briefly on President Trump's Board to promote religious liberty until her antisemitic outbursts, including support for Candace Owens, got her removed from the Board.

Actively Unwoke: Fighting back against woke insanity in your life
AOC goes viral. Conservative Twitter melts down. And almost no one bothering to scream about it actually understands what she said.This clip is me walking through the language the left actually uses, because if you don't understand how they define their terms, you don't understand anything they're doing.The entire controversy revolves around one word: whiteness.Conservatives heard “whiteness” and translated it into skin color. That is not how the modern left uses the term. In leftist theory, whiteness is tied to private property ownership. That's the foundation. The left defines capitalism as private property ownership. Everything else flows from that.In their framework:* Capitalism created racial hierarchy through the ownership of human beings as property.* “White” became the category associated with the ownership class.* “Black” became the category associated with the owned class.* Racism is understood as a systemic byproduct of that property structure.* Systemic racism is the continuation of that structure.You don't have to agree with it. I don't. But if you're going to fight something, you should at least know what it is.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

Contemporary populism is almost everywhere; a right wing phenomena that focuses on a politics of white working class grievance. A set of grievances that are to be addressed, when in power, with policies of expulsion, exclusion, and domination. Attempts by liberal states to deal with such movements paradoxically rely on a similar politics of exclusion, such as building so-called firewalls against the right, which are themselves deeply anti-democratic. Mark Blyth, professor of international economics at Brown University, says that given that these grievances are based on real social and economic problems that have blighted working class communities across the world, can a liberal polity address such grievances in a more positive way? Or must it, to protect itself, similarly exclude and dominate such parties, movements and such grievances? Series: "UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 41069]

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

Finally, an episode about Tucker Carlson—and at an auspicious time, as his influence on the right seems only to have grown in the first year of Trump's second term. To help us understand him, we turned to journalist Jason Zengerle, who first crossed paths with Tucker in the last, halcyon days of magazine journalism before cable news and the internet, and now has written Hated By All the Right People, a book that tells two intertwined stories: the life of Tucker Carlson, and the changes in the media that he's navigated so deftly (despite some low points along the way). This conversation takes you from his adolescence to his early fame writing for The Weekly Standard and Talk to his recent interview with Nick Fuentes, and all the phases and stages of Tucker's sad trajectory toward anti-semitism and conspiracy-mongering.Sources:Jason Zengerle, Hated By All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind (2026)Andrew Marantz, "The Tucker Carlson Roadshow," New Yorker, Nov 1, 2024...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!
Was the populist far right a reaction to neoliberal free market fundamentalism? Or, as historian Quinn Slobodian argues, did such rightwing currents come out of the ideas of neoliberalism itself? Slobodian reflects on neoliberal thinkers' preoccupation with racist and misogynistic ideas of human nature and intelligence, borders and gold — all in service to their war on the left. (Encore presentation.)

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

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.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast—please subscribe for more updates.

Rightwing men have been accusing liberal women of having "suicidal empathy" for the immigrants they claim are trying to murder them. But the only people who truly seem to have suicidal empathy are those who identify and sympathize with the ICE agents and the politicians who are likely to turn on them next. Jessa and Nico discuss the popularity of this idea for figures like Elon Musk. Also, over at the Nation, Anna Krauthamer attempted to reconcile her belief in prison abolition with a horrendous experience of sexual violence, and the whole thing became an illustration of the failures of the sloganeering political left to generate ideas on better ways to do things. Maybe it wasn't a great idea to try to solve complicated social issues with personal essays. Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com
This episode features a debate I had with Cody Cook on LCI's Greenroom, moderated by Jacob Winograd, where Cody and I debate whether libertarianism is compatible a right-wing or left-wing phenomenon. I take the position that modern libertarianism should rightly be classified as right-wing while Cody argues it is more compatible with left-wing ideology. Enjoy the friendly debate!

Right-wing authoritarian and extremist movements are on the march worldwide. This podcast will host some of the globe's leading experts on the radical right to help us understand the development of these extremists. Each episode, hosts and guests bring their specialist insights to break down the critical people, places, organizations, actions, and ideas of the radical right. Produced by the Centre for Analysis of the Radical RightSpecial Guest: Curtis Dozier.
Cardon Ellis hosts a roundtable with Kwaku L., Riley, and Joseph Gambot, diving into a recent and controversial Jubilee video titled "One Progressive vs 20 Far Right Conservatives." The discussion centers around alarming far-right views openly expressed in the video, particularly those involving fascism, autocracy, and ethnic nationalism.The hosts, all associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, immediately react with concern, especially when one participant in the Jubilee video openly declares himself a fascist and advocates for a form of autocracy aligned with Catholic teachings. Kwaku L. and Cardon Ellis are visibly disturbed by the normalization of these extremist ideologies, especially as the conversation touches on support for “benevolent” dictators like Franco and a disturbing indifference toward past atrocities committed by regimes such as the Nazis.

In this episode of the MuslimMatters Podcast, Zainab bint Younus speaks to Imam Dawud Walid about the political and cultural pendulum swinging to the right after the leftist allyship of the 2010s. She asks him about his book "Towards Sacred Activism" and what priorities Muslims need to keep in mind before choosing to engage with or seek allyship with political and cultural groups in the West. Are Muslims meant to be right-wing or left-wing? Tune into this episode for a deep dive into this contentious discussion.
No! Says Jimmy Failla, who's coming to the Factory on Saturday. It was politically homeless comedians who weren't afraid to push the boundaries, finding themselves soft-cancelled, and not shutting up anyway.
Susan and Renee discuss their deep-dive into a right-wing legislator's social media and the patterns they noticed. In this candid episode of Advocacy Bites, hosts Renee Sekel and Susan Book take listeners inside what they call the anatomy of a right-wing legislator, not by naming names, but by dissecting the recurring patterns, priorities, and contradictions that show up again and again in state-level politics. Drawing from an extensive deep dive into a legislator's social media presence, Renee unpacks how Second Amendment absolutism collides with so-called "school safety" policies, exposing the absurd cycle of putting more guns into communities and then demanding millions for armed officers, metal detectors, and security theater in public schools. Susan adds personal perspective on the real harm these policies cause, especially for students with disabilities and other marginalized kids. The conversation expands into education policy, highlighting performative "pro-education" messaging, school privatization, resistance to teacher pay increases, and the obsession with pork projects and oversized ceremonial checks, funded by taxpayers and used as campaign props. Renee and Susan question what true fiscal responsibility looks like when public schools remain chronically underfunded. As always, the episode leads back to the courts and the ongoing failure to enforce Leandro v. North Carolina, connecting legislative hostility toward public education with efforts to cap property taxes, weaken county funding, and undermine libraries and other public goods. The hosts explore how these moves are not accidental, but part of a broader strategy to starve public institutions while shifting blame to local governments. Despite the frustration and righteous anger, the episode closes on a note of hope, reflecting on community, tradition, and the power of collective action to sustain everyday advocates through difficult political moments.
Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, there's an old saying that “No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session,” but whoever said that obviously didn't live in the Free State of Colorado where the second regular session of the 75th General Assembly kicks off this week. Also, The big sibling of the state legislature known as Congress tried and sadly failed to assert its coequal status as a branch of the federal government, but hey, at least they're trying! Then, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is meeting the unprecedented times our state is facing with unprecedented action from his office, and we really hope that it's enough to stave off President Trump's all out assault on Colorado. We've got some more 2026 news for you, but first, a masked ICE agent shot and killed a Coloradan in Minnesota, and the Trump administration would like you to please not believe your own eyes, ears, or any of the witnesses or videos from the altercation in the most dystopian effort from our federal government yet, while at the same time threatening more foreign military intervention if, get this, Iran kills protesters.

In this News Brief, we detail how CBS, Fox, WSJ, and NYT promoted an essentialized, overblown narrative on the "Somali Minnesota fraud" story, teeing up a full blown rightwing incitement campaign against Minneapolis's immigrant communities.
