RT.com – Aug 12, 2026
American journalist Tucker Carlson has told RT that he is not afraid of being killed for using his platform to say what he believes is true.
The former Fox News host has adopted a staunch non-interventionist stance toward US involvement in foreign conflicts in recent years, breaking sharply with President Donald Trump on key foreign policy issues such as Washington’s war on Iran and support for Israel. Since leaving the news network, Carlson’s podcast has routinely garnered millions of views and featured high-profile interviews, including a 2024 conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In an exclusive interview with RT’s Rick Sanchez on Wednesday, Carlson said he had “got old enough and insulated enough from the normal levers of control to say what I really think is true.”
What are you going to do about it? Kill me? OK, I’m not afraid of that. I’m a Christian. So I’m just going to keep talking.
Carlson blamed “neocons” within the American “war lobby” for pushing the US toward destruction.
“This Iran war, the war with Russia – these are the things that will destroy the US, and I live here and my family’s been here for 350 years, and… I don’t want to see my country destroyed,” he said.
Another prominent right-wing influencer who was highly critical of hawks within the Republican Party and US involvement in foreign wars, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated last year.
Kirk, a co-founder of the nonprofit Turning Point USA, was fatally shot by a sniper while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University. Family members and officials said Tyler Robinson, the man charged with Kirk’s murder, had become more left-wing and radicalized in the years before the shooting.
The murder prompted debate over incitement and inflammatory political rhetoric amid a rise in political violence targeting public figures in the US, including multiple attempts on Trump’s life.

—
> I’m not afraid, I’m a Christian
I’m so sick of these people. No one cares if you’re pretending to be a christian (whatever that is).
> In an interview with Russia Today
Because that makes sense.
> Tucker Carlson says the U.S. political system no longer represents ordinary voters
It never did and he’s sepent most of his life backing the system.
> accused the leaders of both major parties of “collusion against the American people.”
There’s only one party, which he himself has stated more than once.
Let’s hear him talk about removing the immigrant invaders, housing the homeless, helping the drug addicts and the prostitutes. That would be what his christ would do.
keep speaking the truth as you see it it is refreshing and liberating.

If he is Christian, why does he wear that red string around his wrist?
The revolution to come, and which must come, must have the objective of debanking and denuding all of the rich and powerful (including their families) who either themselves or their ancestors going back at least 200 years in the West who have gained their wealth, power, and influence through stealth, including the various financial dynasties which have engineered polarities to manufacture wars and political, financial, and heath crises for their gain. Most of their racketeering gains they hold “off-shore” out of reach of our governments (if we had governments which were free of their controls to go after them) and that is their real power over us, and how they mainly control us through their debt-rigging and other criminal practices.
