Tucker Carlson continues to stand tall on his conspiracy theories that are dividing people across America.
In two separate videos from Dec. 10, media commentator Tucker Carlson pushed wild theories regarding both Israel and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In regard to Israel, Carlson looked at the statement that Israel is America’s closest ally, challenging that long-held belief.
“But there’s no reason that should stay the way it is forever. What if we decided to change it up? What if we decided to get a new closest ally in the world? How about Qatar? What if Qatar was our closest ally?” he conjectured. “If you were looking purely through the lens of what’s good for the United States, an America first perspective, the most obvious, of course, would be Russia. Russia. Why? Because it’s the biggest country in the world. It’s the biggest land mass in the world.”
Carlson then picked apart the biblical backing and understanding of why Christians are to support Israel as God’s chosen people. While he is correct in understanding that Jesus is the way to salvation, he misses the bigger picture here: Jesus came first to the Jew and then to the Gentile. Even the apostle Paul makes it clear that God has not forsaken the Jewish people. It is still the hope and the promise that the Jewish people will come to Jesus as their Messiah.
Our support for Israel isn’t just about acquiring territory; it’s about keeping the biblical command to bless the people of God and to be blessed in return, as God spoke to Abraham. Scripture is clear: Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse it will be cursed. God is not finished with Israel, so why should we be?
His next off-the-rails conspiracy regarded the death of Charlie Kirk, with Carlson stating that he questions the FBI in this case.
“…we should not necessarily trust the FBI,” Carlson says. “And by the way, why would we? It’s not an attack on, you know, the political leadership of it…”
Comparing the case to January 6, he then urged people by stating, “We have a duty to remain skeptical and we should not be ashamed of our skepticism.”
As conspiracies about Kirk’s death continue to ring out across the internet, these words do not encourage audiences to believe the evidence presented regarding the case, which is not only damaging to the morale of our society but also to Charlie’s family, which includes a grieving widow and two children who are now without their father. This proposed skepticism aligns with claims like Candace Owens’, which have only caused further division rather than unity for a nation in mourning.
At a time when voices like Carlson’s carry immense influence, believers’ response must rise above outrage and division. Rather than allowing these narratives to harden hearts or deepen fractures, this is a call for prayer—that God would open Carlson’s eyes to truth on every side, soften his heart and align his words with wisdom, compassion and biblical clarity.
