Perhaps the world’s most famous news host and political commentator Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News.
The announcement from Fox is short and no final program of Tucker Carlson Tonight will be broadcast.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.
Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”
This was stated in a press release published early Monday afternoon Swedish time. Carlson, who has been with the channel since 2009, has not yet commented on the matter.
The announcement comes shortly after Fox and vote counting company Dominion reached a settlement in a high-profile lawsuit that followed the exposure of suspected voter fraud in the 2020 US presidential election.
Tucker Carlson is one of America’s most respected media personalities and has a long history of challenging key narratives in the media landscape. This has earned him great respect, especially among the American public, while at the same time he has become disliked by left-liberal actors.
Tucker was the cable host who most:
* Opposed US proxy war in Ukraine;
* Denounced CIA, FBI and DHS for its systemic lies and corruption;

The German government is conducting talks with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan to enable large-scale deportations. The plan is to send back Afghan citizens on regular flights instead of individual expensive charter planes.
German government representatives have initiated direct negotiations with the Taliban about establishing a system for regular deportations, reports the newspaper Bild. A delegation from the German interior ministry met with Afghan representatives in Qatar in early September to discuss a permanent deportation mechanism.
Now interior minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) is planning to send German representatives to Kabul for continued talks on site, where Qatar is functioning as a mediator in the negotiations.
The new strategy represents a dramatic escalation of deportations. Instead of using charter planes for small groups, Afghan citizens would be sent home on regular commercial flights, which would enable significantly more frequent and regular deportations.
Since the Taliban took power in 2021, Germany has only conducted two deportation flights to Afghanistan – 28 people in autumn 2024 and 81 people in July 2025. All those deported were seriously criminal individuals.
Over 100,000 serious crimes
The need for deportations is urgent according to the government. Between 2015 and 2024, German police registered 108,409 serious crimes where at least one Afghan suspect was involved, according to the federal government’s own statistics.
Approximately 11,500 Afghans are estimated to currently be in Germany illegally, according to the German migration office BAMF. In total, around 461,000 people with Afghan roots live in the country, of whom 347,600 have sought asylum in the country.
The CDU/CSU and SPD wrote into their coalition agreement that deportations to both Afghanistan and Syria should resume as quickly as possible.
“We will deport to Afghanistan and Syria and start with criminals and people who pose a security risk”, they promised.
“Inhumane treatment”
The decision faces harsh criticism from asylum activists and lobby organizations, and after the latest deportation in July, the group Pro Asyl claimed that people deported to Afghanistan risk being tortured.
“Due to the dramatic situation on the ground, all deportations to the country violate the international law prohibition on deportation, since torture or inhumane treatment threatens”, they claimed at the time.
With that justification, Germany’s influential refugee organizations therefore continue to demand a complete halt to all deportations to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
The murder of conservative debater Charlie Kirk on September 10 has taken a dramatic turn. 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been in custody since Friday, suspected of the murder.Meanwhile, journalist Kim Iversen has launched an alternative analysis that has gained widespread attention.
She describes the murder as a professionally planned operation where Israel is pointed out as a possible actor.
Charlie Kirk, founder of the organization Turning Point USA, was shot dead on Wednesday during a speech in Orem, Utah. After intensive investigation, police arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, on Friday through tips from relatives and surveillance camera analysis.
Bullet casings with inscriptions interpreted as radical left-wing symbols are reported to have been found nearby. Police have not yet commented further on the findings, but authorities are now investigating both Robinson’s motive and possible contacts with other persons or groups.

Kim Iversen’s analysis
Parallel to the official investigation, journalist Kim Iversen has presented her own analysis that questions the lone gunman theory. She believes several factors point to a more sophisticated operation.
– I think the vast majority of people are not actually believing that it was a radical leftist. Most people believe it was a professional hit. It was an assassination done by a pro. All roads lead to that, she says.
A central point in her reasoning is that Fox News quickly reported on “foreign intelligence information” in connection with the case – something she sees as both strange and potentially revealing.
– Why would there be any foreign intelligence on this at all right now? she asks rhetorically.
Kim Iversen claims that Kirk had recently begun taking a more critical stance toward Israel. He had reportedly declined an invitation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, something she interprets as sensitive given Kirk’s significant influence among young conservatives.
Other profiles have also warned that Kirk risked becoming a threat if he openly switched sides on the Israel issue. Host Harrison Smith recently described him as ready to become the “next major anti-Zionist voice”.
– It’s a little bit too perfect, right? Charlie Kirk has a massive audience. His audience was young. the very generation that is very against Israel. And Charlie Kirk, who had been very pro-Israel,had started to question things over the last few weeks, says Iversen.
The question of who had the most to gain from the murder is central to Iversen’s analysis. She believes it is primarily Israel that has both the interest and capacity to prevent Kirk from turning his young following in a more critical direction.
– And if Charlie Kirk is starting to change his tune, who benefits the most is mostly Israel on this. They didn’t like him switching and leading his entire base of millions of youth who they’re already fragile with in a direction they don’t want., she says.
Kim Iversen also emphasizes that such an operation would not just be about eliminating Kirk, but about sending a clear signal.
– The one that has the most to gain and who has the sophistication to pull this off and who has ties into our law enforcement to be able to plant evidence like guns with trans inscriptions all over it, whatever that means.. My bet would be on Israel.
By asking the question “cui bono” – who benefits – Iversen places the murder in a geopolitical context rather than a domestic political one. In her analysis, the motive is as much strategic as personal: to avoid a crack in the American conservative movement regarding support for Israel.
Still many unanswered questions
Robinson’s arrest gives authorities a suspect to test the evidence against, but according to Kim Iversen and several other analysts, it does not rule out alternative interpretations.
Her conclusion is that the narrative of a lone radical left-wing activist is not credible, that the incident instead bears traces of a professional operation, that reports of “foreign intelligence information” are strange and suggest external involvement, and that Israel has the most to gain from Kirk being silenced just now when he had become increasingly critical.
The murder of Charlie Kirk will therefore likely continue to be discussed both within the official justice system and in alternative media where theories about geopolitical motives and foreign involvement live on.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again drawn attention after commenting on statistics about global population development.
In a post on X, he stated that white people constitute a rapidly shrinking share of the world’s population, and that almost no one seems to react to this fact.
Musk shared a post from the account Radio Genoa which stated that “in 1900 the white population in the world was 36% and today it is 8%.”
“White people are a rapidly diminishing minority of global population”, Musk wrote in his comment on the post, which quickly gained wide circulation.
User Rabbit Hole pointed out that “most of Europe has fertility rates below replacement levels. Whites will likely represent a shrinking share of the human population” going forward, and also received Musk’s agreement.
“Yeah, it’s just a fact. And no one seems to care”, commented the world’s richest man bluntly.

Musk’s comments come at a time when birth rates in the Western world are at critical and historically low levels. In many European countries, birth rates are below 1.4 children per woman, far below the 2.1 children required to maintain population levels.
Furthermore, the figures include population groups from developing countries that traditionally have significantly more children, which means that birth rates among the native population are even lower than what the statistics show.
Despite low birth rates, however, the population in almost all European countries continues to grow, which is due to large-scale mass immigration from non-European countries – a large-scale population replacement, according to critics of current migration policy.
This has led to major demographic changes in many European cities where people with non-European backgrounds already constitute a majority today – or will soon do so.
Mixed reactions
Musk’s statements have received mixed reactions on social media where many users share his concern about the West’s demographic collapse and believe this is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
Others, however, have accused Musk of hypocrisy and point out that he has previously advocated for increased labor immigration to the United States, particularly so-called high-skilled workers from countries like India, to benefit his own companies.
The fact that Charlie Kirk, who was just murdered, was immediately character assassinated after his death became too much even for the bosses at left-liberal MSNBC.
Political commentator Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC after spreading wild conspiracy theories and arguing that murdered conservative figure Charlie Kirk bears responsibility for his own death.
— During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable. We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise, comments MSNBC chief Rebecca Kutler apologetically, but does not want to comment further on the matter.
The left-liberal Dowd joined the network in 2022 after a long career at ABC News. Following the shooting, Dowd went on the attack against the murdered 31-year-old, accusing him of spreading hate and being one of America’s most “divisive figures”. He also suggested that Kirk had only himself to blame for being murdered.
— He has been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions, claimed Dowd, continuing to place blame on the murder victim.

— I think that’s the environment we’re in, that the people just – you can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have, and then saying these awful words, and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we’re in.
Dowd also advanced bizarre conspiracy theories that the killer may actually have been a Kirk supporter who killed the 31-year-old by mistake, despite no witness testimony or other evidence supporting that theory.
— We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration, he speculated further.
Matthew Dowd is today a Democrat, but also has a background as a Republican strategist. He has made himself known as one of cable TV’s most critical voices against Republican leadership and unsuccessfully attempted in 2021 to become the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in the state of Texas.
