Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused radio host Mark Levin of engaging in what he described as “a species of witchcraft” to manufacture political consensus, while also suggesting that Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee may be under some sort of “spell” when it comes to his support for Israel.
Tucker Carlson’s remarks about Mark Levin were made during his appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show on February 26, approximately two weeks ago.
His comments suggesting Mike Huckabee may be “under a spell” come from a separate appearance on the Judging Freedom podcast with Judge Andrew Napolitano on December 17, 2025.
Both clips have recently resurfaced and are now going viral again on X, where users are widely circulating the segments amid the ongoing debate inside conservative media about U.S. foreign policy, Israel, and Iran.
During a recent interview with journalist Megyn Kelly, the conversation turned to the increasingly heated debate among conservatives over U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly regarding Israel and Iran.
According to Carlson, some prominent conservative voices are attempting to create political “truth” simply through repetition.
Tucker Carlson:
What people like Levin—whom I’m not attacking; I feel sorry for him because he’s clearly living in hell—are trying to do is a species of witchcraft. It’s really simple: you repeat something until it becomes true.
Khamenei must die. We’re going into war. We’re gonna knock off the government. This is good for us. Anyone who’s against it is an antisemite, a Nazi, should be expelled, Benedict Arnold, not allowed in the White House. You keep repeating things that are untrue until they become true.
[…]
You speak, and you create truth by speaking. In the beginning was the Word. There’s a holy power, a supernatural power, in words. Describing things is different from simply doing them.
If you can talk reality into being, this is what an incantation is. This is what a spell is. It’s not spooky or crazy stuff—it’s the lived reality of every person. Say it, and it becomes true. And that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. And nobody is making the case for how does this help The United States? How does this make us richer, safer, happier? Zero.
Carlson also took aim at former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, suggesting that some political figures are acting as paid advocates rather than independent thinkers.
Shills like Pompeo—who are getting paid from who knows how many different groups to lie to you—come across as some moral voice.
During an appearance on the Judging Freedom Podcast, where he elaborated further on what he described as a deeper and almost “metaphysical” explanation for some political behavior in Washington.
Tucker Carlson:
But there’s something deeper. There’s almost a spell. Huckabee, for example—do you really think Huckabee is being threatened? I know Huckabee well. I’m sure you do, too. Nice man.
What is this? I look at him and I see a man under a spell. I mean this—and I’ll be mocked for it—but I mean it. There’s no practical, conventional explanation for some of this behavior. I look at Ted Cruz and I’m like, I think I know what’s going on. Lindsey Graham—I think I know what’s going on. But Mike Huckabee? I think he is under a spell. He is not thinking clearly at all.
So when Mike Huckabee stands up and says—and I think Mike Huckabee likes America, or did—but when he says, “God will destroy our country if we don’t support Bibi,” it’s like: how could someone ever say something like that? I don’t know the answer, but I think it’s more metaphysical than political.
