Tucker Carlson has been at the center of several significant developments recently. Following his departure from Fox News, announced on February 17, 2025, Carlson has been actively engaged in new media ventures. He is in the process of establishing a new media company with former White House adviser Neil Patel, aiming to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for this project. This new venture will utilize Twitter as a key platform, where Carlson will post videos, including monologues, interviews, and documentaries, with extended versions available behind a paywall through a subscription service.
Carlson is also set to embark on his "Tucker Carlson Live Tour," which includes a stop at the Footprint Center on September 4, 2024, with special guest Russell Brand. This tour will feature Carlson discussing current events and hosting recognizable guests.
Recently, Carlson participated in a deep-dive conversation with Chris Cuomo on "The Chris Cuomo Project," where they discussed various topics including Donald Trump, U.S. foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, trans rights, and government secrecy. They also touched on the JFK assassination, Jeffrey Epstein’s connections, and the government's potential hiding of information about UFOs.
In terms of public reactions and responses, Carlson has been involved in an ongoing public dispute with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX). Crenshaw recently launched a scathing attack against Carlson during an appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored." Crenshaw criticized Carlson for his lack of substance and personal attacks, highlighting that Carlson often uses insults, including referencing Crenshaw's war wounds. Crenshaw also pointed out Carlson's privileged background, calling him a "silver spoon fed trust fund baby" and contrasting this with Carlson's public stance against D.C. elites.
There have been no recent reports of legal or professional developments specifically involving Carlson since his exit from Fox News. However, his ongoing media ventures and public appearances continue to generate considerable attention and debate within the media and political spheres.
Carlson's influence on media and politics remains a topic of considerable discussion. His ability to engage with high-profile individuals on significant global issues, such as his recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, underscores his continued relevance in the media landscape.
