Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has slammed his former employers for broadcasting war “propaganda” aimed at their “elderly” and gullible viewers.

Speaking to Steve Bannon on “Bannon’s War Room” podcast, Carlson said “What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to, you know, knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit to where you want them to.”

Tucker strongly criticized the broadcaster for its coverage of the Israel-Iran conflict accusing them of pushing the country towards another bloody and costly “forever war” in the Middle East.

Carlson has emerged as one of the most prominent conservative voices urging the Trump camp to resist getting entangled in Israel’s latest war of aggression—part of his broader push to challenge the grip of the Israel lobby and the military-industrial complex on U.S. foreign policy.

But now, as tensions escalate following Israeli strikes on Tehran, Carlson faces an unexpected setback to his anti-war stance—a mocking nickname from none other than President Trump.

“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” Trump posted on TruthSocial on Monday night.

This goes beyond petty nicknames—there are real, high-stakes consequences at play.

Trump’s outburst signals something deeper: on the critical issue of a potential war with Iran, he’s breaking ranks with Tucker Carlson—one of his most loyal and influential allies.
