You Can't Purge Tucker

Updates from the week

I made by big DEBUT in Chronicles this week with an article on how it’s impossible to purge Tucker Carlson in 2025:

It’s now risky to associate with Carlson if you’re a GOP lawmaker or head a conservative think tank.

In past eras, this would have meant that Carlson is now “purged” from the conservative movement and his influence will dwindle. But that’s not going to work in our current media and political environment. Carlson still hosts a podcast listened to by millions. He’s still able to broadcast his message on YouTube, X, and Spotify, regardless of what Mark Levin thinks of him. The old conservative institutions no longer have control over what views and opinions their audience hears. Online influencers reach far more people than places like National Review and do more to shape the MAGA base’s politics. Carlson will still wield influence over the right despite all the sternly worded editorials against him.

Read the rest here.

I also made an INCREDIBLE appearance on the Timcast early show to discuss Zohran Mamdani and whether he’s a third worldist.
