Tucker Carlson Kicks Off 16-Day Tour with Trump Allies

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson is embarking on a 16-day media tour to engage with supporters of former President Donald Trump.

His website promotes the tour, inviting fans to “join Tucker Carlson and friends from coast to coast as he hits the road for his first live tour.” It promises that Carlson will be joined by “some of the most fascinating and recognizable guests, responding to everything that is happening in real time.”

The itinerary starts in Phoenix, Arizona, on September 4, where Carlson will share the stage with actor and comedian Russell Brand. Following that, he will converse with former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in Anaheim, California.

Next, Carlson’s path leads him to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he will host former Representative Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii and Dr. Kevin Roberts. Notably, Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022 and recently endorsed Trump.

On September 20, Carlson will appear in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for a dialogue with musician Kid Rock, who performed at the Republican National Convention last month.

Afterward, he will head to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to speak with Senator JD Vance from Ohio, who is rumored to be Trump’s running mate for the upcoming election.

Among other notable appearances, Carlson will also engage with far-right radio host Alex Jones, known for promoting conspiracy theories, including claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was fabricated.

In Greenville, South Carolina, Carlson will meet with Trump loyalist Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. The tour will conclude on September 28 in Jacksonville, Florida, where he will have an on-stage discussion with Donald Trump Jr., one of the former president’s sons.

“We hope to see you there,” Carlson posted on social media platform X, generating excitement for the upcoming events.

Previously, Carlson was dismissed from Fox News after the company agreed to pay over $787 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle a lawsuit related to misleading statements and conspiracy theories about the company that stemmed from the 2020 election fallout.

Since his exit from Fox News, Carlson has launched his own online subscription-based platform, the Tucker Carlson Network, where he has conducted interviews, including a notable one with Russian President Vladimir Putin in February.

As Carlson prepares for his live tour, it remains to be seen how these appearances will impact his standing among conservative audiences and the broader political discourse leading into the next election cycle.

The tour not only signifies Carlson’s continued influence within conservative circles but also highlights the relationships he is forging with prominent figures aligned with Trump. With a line-up that includes various controversial personalities, he is sure to spark conversations across the political spectrum.

As the tour unfolds, it is likely to attract significant media attention, given Carlson’s history in engaging with contentious political topics and polarizing figures.

The success of this media tour may provide a signal of Carlson’s ongoing relevance in conservative media and his ability to galvanize audiences who remain loyal to Trump’s political ideology.
