Does Tucker Carlson "tell the truth"? Well, not always, I'd say - and I am no fan of Tucker Carlson. However, let me quote something Carlson apparently did say, recently. Presuming that we can trust an article published in the November 17, 2025, edition of The New York Times, here is a statement by Carlson that I would count as "true":
Instead of U.S. policymakers attending to domestic challenges like skyrocketing housing costs and a crumbling health care system, [Carlson] said, “We’ve spent the last 80 years administering a global empire. It’s commanded a massive percentage of our attention and money. That’s the core problem, which no one wants to say.”
If we were to start cataloging things that we ought to be working on, as citizens of the United States of America (and I, personally, am starting to make a list of those things - my personal suggestions, to be addressed when our current president is no longer in a position to command our attention and to distract us from the real challenges facing the nation, and facing the entire world, too), coming up with a way to deal with the issues raised by Carlson's statement, just quoted, would be up near the top of the list.
Postscript:
The fact that I can feature and commend a statement by someone with whom I usually disagree is perhaps a reminder that another thing we should all be working on is to find common ground, not differences, as we all face, together, some truly daunting challenges.
