YouTube Channel (Tucker Carlson Network): Approximately 1.77–1.78 million subscribers.
Recent activity shows strong view accumulation: Around 20–21 million views in the last 30 days (roughly equivalent to monthly totals).
Daily/weekly uploads contribute to this, with individual videos often in the hundreds of thousands to millions of views.
Total channel views exceed 460–465 million lifetime.
Podcast episodes (e.g., The Tucker Carlson Show): Earlier 2025 data showed averages around 1 million views per episode on YouTube, with spikes (e.g., high-profile interviews reaching 3+ million).
Recent surges tied to specific controversies or guests have boosted rankings on YouTube/Spotify charts, but no precise weekly figure for March 2026 is publicly detailed beyond the channel's overall momentum.

So Tucker's kid is Deputy Press Secretary to JD Vance?? I would say that's a little too close in the administration for someone that is that close to so much crazy.
quote:
So here is where I sound the alarm because this is a 5-alarm fire: Tucker Carlson has far too much influence within the current administration. Whatever he is saying now, you can be sure he has been saying privately for years
This means that the vice president, who has refused to come out and distance himself from Tucker, actually shares some of these views. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that JD Vance was praising Douglas Macgregor (Tucker’s favorite Kremlin geopolitical stooge) on X for his “consistent, insightful contrarian voice on the war in Ukraine”
This means that Tucker’s son, who works as Deputy Press Secretary for Vance, is possibly siphoning everything within the administration to his father

I don't think people like Carlson actually believe in very much beyond making money. It's mostly a performance designed to entertain an audience.

I think he's too insulated. He lives within his own head. He travels a lot and he's well connected to many powerful people, but he lives in Maine, insulated from most ordinary people. He probably believes most of what he says, but he has become disconnected by his own wealth and fame.

People like him always think they know things that no one else does. He is the smartest guy on the planet. If he thinks he is going to be living some of his life in his little castle in the middle east. I wish him luck on that one.This message has been edited. Last edited by: old rugged cross,

At the end of this interview, she asks him about his rift not just with Trump, but with many on the right who ask "What happened to Tucker Carlson?"

^^^ Like most of us, I really liked TC before he went off the rails. But his comment above makes me not want to look at this interview and makes me dislike him even more now. He's a damn (damned) liar!

I’m not following this TC drama very closely, but from what I’ve seen of it, it is sad. Always sad to see things like this happen, which I’m happy to say, isn’t all that too often.
It has been a while since, but I remember when TC interview Hickok45 at ‘45’s compound. I remember it shouldn’t have been as awkward as it was. It was like they were on different wavelengths or my expectations were too high.
Also, I seem to remember he nor his family watched TV, which I understand, but not for someone who is supposed to be in touch with society.
I don’t know what happened to Matt Drudge, TC and the rest, but I’m hoping it isn’t more contagious, bringing more of us down.

One is either rooted in Truth, or tossed by the wind.
Does not mean all pitfalls are avoided, but that one will find themselves righted and on course when encountering the tempest.
As far as TC Candice Owens and others in their camp go, they are in a very chaotic and unstable place in their world view. They will either "snap out of it" or be consumed by it.
Nevertheless, it does not move me.

They all consider Trump to be a politician
He isn’t
They expect him to behave like a politician
He doesn’t.
That makes them all very uneasy and unstable.

Just watched his latest episode with Thomas Massie. It was pretty scary to hear how a group of foreign billionaires are investing so heavily to defeat Massie in Kentucky. I haven't been following it that closely but apparently he could potentially lose in the primary.

Are you sad for him?

Yes for sure. He might be the only member of the House with any integrity left. The last of the true America first Republicans.

Yeah, he has a funny way of showing it, just being an obstinate roadblock. But, don't worry. Once this fucking asshole gets defeated in a couple of weeks, you'll have the other disgusting obstructionist, Rand Paul, to idolize.
If Massie is defeated, I will dance in the street.
Like Massie and Paul, you seem confused. You think getting in the way of President Trump's agenda is so very "principled". Funny, isn't it, that whatever he wants, those two always want the opposite. How very odd.

Funny how often what Massie wants aligns with what the Democrats want too.

And BTW, Jeff, if you're still listening to Tucker Carlson these days, you're getting fed a trainload of steaming horse shit. He's out of his ever-loving mind. Nutso
@RepThomasMassie went on Tucker Carlson yesterday and told his audience that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up its official X account in Israel using an Israeli IP address and an app purchased from the Israeli App Store, and that Congress needs to open an investigation into it.
There's just one problem. The claim is based on a screenshot that was fabricated.
The image went viral in November showing the @DHSgov page listed as based in Tel Aviv, created July 2008, connected via the Israel App Store, and it got 39 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes before anyone looked closely at it.
The screenshot didn't have the gray checkmark that X puts on every single verified government account without exception, and the person who originally posted it later appeared to admit they made the whole thing up.
X's own head of product @nikitabier came out and called it fake news directly, confirming that @DHSgov was deliberately excluded from the location feature for security reasons and never showed any location data at all.
A sitting U.S. congressman is calling for a federal investigation based on a screenshot that the person who made it appears to have admitted was fake, and Tucker just let him say it to millions of people.

Tucker is not wrong.
Israel has been trying to undermine the USA for more than 4,100 years from the time when G-d first called Avram to: "Leave your country, your people, and your father's household and go to the country that I will show you."
0.2% of the world population, has 8 billion people by the balls in one hand, and the other hand a chokehold of the throat.
If it is true, what can the world do against such a power?
If false, how foolish to waste more than a second of concern?
"We" (Jews), are not the problem...
Oh. Wait... Tucker is wrong.
