About this episode

<p><span>Once a Beltway neoconservative, Tucker Carlson came to embody the angry, forgotten white man—railing at “the élites” and propagating racist conspiracy theories and the lie of the stolen election. “Unlike a lot of his colleagues at Fox News, he made news, he set the agenda,” Kelefa Sanneh, who </span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/10/tucker-carlsons-fighting-words"><span>wrote about Carlson in 2017</span></a><span>, says. “People were wondering, What is Tucker going to be saying tonight?” Sanneh joins </span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/andrew-marantz"><span>Andrew Marantz</span></a><span> and David Remnick to discuss Carlson’s demise, and what comes next. And Clare Malone </span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-communications/the-gospel-of-candace-owens"><span>reports on Candace Owens</span></a><span>, the powerful right-wing influencer and provocateur who’s set her sights on the future of right-wing media—and on a younger and more female audience than that of Fox News.</span></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
