Because the gates of hell have been opened.
That's the truth.
Few people are better at grabbing attention
and speaking for a wide swath of America's right than Tucker Carlson.
His fans think of him as a truth teller, not afraid to challenge orthodoxy.
His detractors fear he is leading the right into conspiratorial fever swamps.
Tucker, as he is universally known,
morphed from being a contrarian but relatively mainstream conservative early in his career
into a leading nationalist and isolationist.
From his perch at Fox News, he became an avowed immigration restrictionist.
Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson.
And an early supporter of Donald Trump.
A loud critic of America's support for Ukraine,
he's expressed sympathy for leaders like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban.
In 2023, Tucker was fired from Fox News
and has since become one of America's most successful independent podcasters.
He's also become increasingly critical of Israel.
And today he's the loudest voice on the right against the war in Iran.
President Trump recently said Tucker had lost his way and was no longer MAGA.
And Senator Ted Cruz called him the single most dangerous demagogue in the country.
