Tucker Carlson has spent the past several days at the center of several overlapping fights in politics, media, and law, and listeners are seeing his role shift further from TV host to highly polarizing political actor. On his YouTube show, Carlson recently devoted an episode to the Iran conflict and the prospect of the United States using nuclear weapons. RadarOnline reports that in an August 28 discussion with former counterterrorism official Joe Kent, Carlson said any president who seriously considers first use of nuclear weapons should be removed from office, and he applied that standard to Donald Trump, breaking sharply with his former ally over what he called a red line on nukes. This follows a string of recent episodes, including a war-focused conversation with Harvard professor Stephen Walt about Iran, Russia, China, and the risk of nuclear escalation, highlighted by platforms like rova and Singjupost, where Carlson portrayed Trump’s Middle East moves as dangerously destabilizing and the war in Iran as the biggest presidential mistake of his lifetime. Those comments are feeding speculation about Carlson’s political ambitions. ABC News Daily recently explored whether he might run for president in 2028, citing his new 10‑point “vision for America” and his meetings with former representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. The Telegraph characterizes that document as resembling a campaign platform and describes Carlson as positioning himself as a post‑Trump populist willing to “destroy” the current Republican Party in favor of a new movement. Trump, in turn, has escalated his attacks. Yahoo News and RT report that the president used Truth Social to call Carlson, Greene, and Massie “three losers,” saying Carlson is “totally irrelevant” with “very low IQ” and accusing him of plotting a political run that has “no chance.” Pro‑Trump outlets have echoed that line, while Carlson’s allies point to his growing online audience and argue that his criticism of Trump over Iran reflects a principled anti‑war stance. At the same time, Carlson is facing legal threats from an old ally. The New York Post and Newsmax segments summarized by the WLT Report describe Rudy Giuliani announcing that he is preparing a defamation suit against Carlson over Carlson’s recent interview with Hunter Biden. In that interview, covered by outlets such as the Jerusalem Post and Firstpost, Carlson claimed that people tied to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approached his Fox team years ago with allegations about explicit content on Hunter Biden’s laptop and pushed the story into the media. Giuliani, who was central to leaking the laptop material to the New York Post, blasted Carlson for allegedly endorsing Hunter Biden’s version of events, accused him of suggesting Giuliani was acting as a foreign agent, and told Newsmax that Tucker “can go to hell.” Giuliani says he is “seriously considering” suing both Hunter Biden and Carlson, arguing that their comments damaged his reputation. Carlson’s newer episodes continue to stir controversy on immigration and national security. Media Matters and The Young Turks highlight his recent interview with former Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, where Bovino claimed there are over 100 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and argued that so‑called “run‑of‑the‑mill” illegal immigrants are the real threat to the nation. Carlson framed the conversation as evidence that Trump has abandoned mass deportation promises and suggested the administration is betraying its base, a stance that has intensified criticism from pro‑Trump commentators and energized hardline immigration activists who see Carlson as articulating their grievances. Internationally, Middle East Eye and other outlets have amplified Carlson’s high‑profile discussion with former CIA officer John Kiriakou about the influence of the Israel lobby, AIPAC’s power, and incidents such as the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. That conversation, along with his claims about Israeli involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop story, has provoked sharp reactions: critics accuse Carlson of flirting with antisemitic tropes, while his supporters say he is raising long‑taboo questions about U.S.–Israel relations and intelligence operations. Taken together, the latest developments show Carlson simultaneously broadening his media ventures through long‑form online shows and deepening his rift with Trump‑aligned Republicans. He is courting a more explicitly anti‑war, anti‑establishment audience, but at the cost of escalating feuds with Trump, Giuliani, and mainstream conservative outlets, and drawing renewed scrutiny over his role in shaping narratives on immigration, foreign policy, and the Hunter Biden saga.
