Tucker Carlson Launches New Twitter Show Weeks After Fox News Ouster—And Talks Ukraine And UFOs

Carlson did not mention Fox News at any point during the more than 10-minute show—a topic he has not addressed since late April—but obliquely criticized the media.

Carlson said he was “grateful” to be on Twitter, adding he and his team were told there were no “gatekeepers” on the platform but they would leave if “that turns out to be false.”

The video was shorter and less adorned than Carlson’s previous nightly cable news show—it featured few on-screen graphics and largely consisted of a monologue in which Carlson criticized familiar targets ranging from Black Lives Matter protesters to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

The commentator talked about the Kakhovka dam collapse in Ukraine, claiming the Ukrainian military blew up the dam but offering no conclusive evidence on who or what caused the collapse (Ukrainian and NATO officials say Russia exploded the dam, but Russian officials have blamed Ukraine).

UFOs were also on the agenda for Carlson, who cited a still-uncorroborated report claiming U.S. officials found “craft of non-human origin,” and Carlson asked at one point “what exactly happened on 9/11?” without elaborating.
