Tucker Carlson launches 16-day tour featuring Trump allies
Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson is launching a 16-day media tour to take his show on the road and talk to allies of former President Trump.
“Join Tucker Carlson and friends from coast to coast as he hits the road for his first live tour,” the former Fox News host’s website said. “Tucker will be joined on stage by some of the most fascinating and recognizable guests, responding to everything that is happening in real time.”
“It’s going to be interesting and fun as hell,” his site said.
Carlson is kicking off his tour in Phoenix, Ariz., on Sept. 4 with actor and comedian Russel Brand. He will then speak with former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in Anaheim, Calif.
In Colorado Springs, Colo., Carlson will host former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) and Dr. Kevin Roberts. Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022 and endorsed Trump earlier this week.
On Sept. 20, Carlson will speak with Kid Rock, who performed at the Republican National Convention last month, in Grand Rapids, Mich.
He will then travel to Hershey, Pa., and speak with Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who has been chosen as Trump’s running mate.
Carlson will also speak with Alex Jones, a far-right radio host who said the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was a hoax.
He will be joined by Trump loyalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Greenville, S.C. and cap off the media tour by speaking with Donald Trump Jr., one of the former president’s adult sons, in Jacksonville, Fla., on Sept. 28.
“We hope to see you there,” Carlson posted on X.
Carlson was fired from Fox News after the company paid more than $787 million to settle a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over false statements and conspiracy theories the host and the network made about the company after the 2020 election.
He began interviews on his own online subscription-based network, Tucker Carlson Network, last December. He interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin in February.
