If you haven’t seen Tucker Carlson’s new show, it’s worth seeing for the spectacle alone.
Whereas 10 years ago Tucker wore bow ties and preppy suits on Fox News, he now dresses like a country boy. His go-to shirt today is a red flannel, and you’ll never see him on set without a nicotine pouch in his mouth. When he poses for shoots, he’s often fishing or working in his woodshop. In one photo, you’ll see him holding an axe.
The log cabin studio where he records his top-three-most-popular podcast looks like a set for the Outdoor Channel. Hanging on the ceiling is a deer antler chandelier and adorning its oak walls are war paraphernalia, hunting trophies, yellow-tinged maps, and Eastern Orthodox Christian icons. This is a far cry from the Tucker Carlson of the mid-2010s who dressed like a Nantucket NIMBY, laughed like a St. George’s grad (his boarding school), and rubbed shoulders with his buddy Hunter Biden, whom he wrote in 2014 requesting his help to get his son into Georgetown.
Tucker’s content has changed even more dramatically than his look. Whereas Tucker Carlson Tonight became popular for its rants on campus wokeness and Democratic hypocrisy, his new show follows a simple formula: Take a mainstream narrative and invert it. Among other topics, his last ten episodes have argued that the Oklahoma City bombing was a lie and that Brigitte Macron is a man. Where he used to attack those who criticized the US, he now often considers the US a villain.
Perhaps Tucker’s favorite topic is the CIA. Clicking through the timestamps of his episodes, the terms “Deep State,” “intelligence officials,” and “CIA” are among his most commonly used terms. His show documents how all roads lead to the CIA, and many of our politicians, businesspeople, and media figures are its pawns. He may be right or he may be wrong. But what is clear is this: If he applied his own framework to himself, Tucker Carlson would not trust Tucker Carlson.
Amid the intra-right-wing wars, there has been a Hollywood-worthy plot twist: Some now claim that Tucker Carlson himself is a CIA plant. The accusation centers around a few key claims: 1) Tucker’s dad worked with the CIA; 2) Tucker himself applied to be in the CIA; and 3) Tucker is operating like an intelligence asset with high-profile interviews of the leaders of Russia, Iran, and Qatar.
So what’s the evidence that Tucker Carlson is CIA? That’s the subject of today’s deep-dive, starting with the fascinating case of Tucker’s dad – Dick.

Editor’s Note
Speaking of media conspiracies, in the last week, we’ve seen commenters accuse us of being left-wing, right-wing, Mossad, funded by Russia, and CIA. Looking through the chatter about Roca on X, we found the below, referencing a recent YouTube video shot by Max F in Pakistan.

If we were CIA, it’s safe to say we’d at least have dishwashers in our apartments.
Tons of feedback on yesterday’s story on whether the US is getting ripped off.

I support tariffs, not because the U.S. is being exploited, but because we need to take significant action to revive and re-normalize domestic manufacturing and manual labor jobs. By raising the cost of foreign labor, we can make American manufacturing wages more competitive and appealing. With AI poised to eliminate many low-level office jobs, we risk leaving large sections of the workforce behind. In the short term, the US will be shooting itself in the foot because tariffs will increase costs compared to imports from places like Vietnam or Mexico. But if we can rebuild our industrial base, competition will eventually drive down prices. The long-term benefits like stronger supply chains, better protection of U.S. intellectual property, and shorter lead times could make this a strategic investment in our economic resilience worthwhile.

With high standards against GMO’s and hormone injected beef my hats off to the UK and Canada. They don’t want to poison their people. As far as tech is concerned they have high standards as well. Perhaps the US should be more concerned with food ingredients and protecting its citizens. You can’t blame countries for having high health and privacy concerns. Do better U.S.

Great issue today. Renewed my paid subscription because of it. While I think it’s still early to see if we are shooting ourselves in the foot with tariffs, one thing that would be cool to look at is Tariff revenue <> Federal Debt/spending. Many Americans were fed up outlandish spending and the rising debt of previous administrations.
Now we are seeing that these tariffs are actually bringing in revenue. Revenue from the government? What the heck even is that? But seriously, for many of the younger generations it’s probably the first time we can remember the government making money instead of spending.
Some things to look at could be:
- We’re making revenue, but are tariffs causing less international business overall with the US?
- How much is this revenue actually affecting the bottom line?
- How does this revenue compare to dictator spending of things like building Alligator Alcatraz, $50,000 ICE signing bonuses, lawsuits against journalists
The average person like myself and others could use some help understanding, seeing the “bigger picture” so we don’t just see those Revenue headlines and think that a good thing, full stop. Anyway keep doing the lords work. Love y’all’s unbiased approach.
