Tucker Carlson has sparked heated debate with his recent criticism of U.S. actions in Venezuela, calling them imperialistic behavior after Nicolás Maduro's capture. According to UA News, Carlson cautioned that Washington is pressuring Interim President Delcy Rodríguez to adopt pro-U.S. positions, drawing pushback from most Republican lawmakers who praised the operation. This stance marks a shift from his 2017 comments harshly condemning Maduro's regime for plunging Venezuela into chaos with power outages and civil disorder, as highlighted in a J-TV+ YouTube analysis that accuses him of disagreeing with himself.
Ben Shapiro sharply rebuked Carlson's views in a recent video, labeling them bizarre, conspiratorial, and morally skewed, especially for downplaying Maduro's alliances with drug cartels and evil regimes while speculating opposition stems from Maduro's resistance to gay marriage. Shapiro praised Trump's decisiveness and questioned Carlson's consistency, urging moral clarity amid a growing split in conservative circles.
On his Tucker Carlson Network, Carlson featured a clip from January 2 discussing Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee's loyalty to Israel, tying into broader critiques that have prompted Canadian-born Likud MK Dan Illouz to urge U.S. conservatives to sideline him and Candace Owens for their stances.
Carlson also interviewed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, prompting immediate backlash from Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who attacked the platforming as irresponsible, per Responsible Statecraft. In a podcast episode with Mike Cernovich on his show, they delved into Maduro's capture, Charlie Kirk's murder, and personal battles with demons.
Professionally, Fox's 2025 acquisition of Red Seat Ventures bolsters production and ad sales for Carlson's podcasts alongside Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly, as Business Insider reports amid YouTube and Netflix's push into video podcasts in 2026. His influence persists, ranking him among Valuetainment's most impactful media figures for 2025 with his independent style.
These developments underscore Carlson's polarizing role in right-wing media, fueling debates on foreign policy, Israel, and America First isolationism.
