The Tucker Carlson Show: often conservative, always controversial

?In his weekly podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show, the veteran American broadcaster presents a conservative worldview on global politics and economics. Launched in 2024 following his departure from Fox News, the podcast has grown significantly, becoming the fourth most-listened-to in the US on Spotify.

Episodes typically run for one to two hours, featuring extended guest interviews. Despite his conservative reputation, the podcast doesn't exclusively feature right-wing perspectives. Carlson regularly hosts well-known critics of US policies and the Trump administration, including political science professor John Mearsheimer and journalist Ana Kasparian. He also interviewed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian after the 12-day war came to a halt.

One of the most notable episodes features Tony Aguilar, a retired US special forces officer who testifies to the war crimes committed at the US-established Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — which handles aid distribution, replacing the UN and UNRWA. Aguilar shared his first-hand experience of overseeing aid delivery in Gaza during May and June 2025, where the Israeli military engages in systematic violations of international law, including targeting starving civilians, using humanitarian aid for military purposes, and displacing residents.

One of the stories from Aguilar’s testimony centers around Amir, the Palestinian kid who walked 12 kilometers in search of food, only to be later killed by Israeli forces upon departure from the aid center.
