Political view
Climate change
Carlson rejected the position that human influence has been the dominant cause of global warming. According to Carlson, whether human activities contribute to climate change is "unknowable".
Conservatism
Carlson is considered conservative. Carlson criticized 2,000 presidential candidates for John McCain for not being ideological enough. Speaking to Salon.com, Carlson stated:
I like McCain. And I will vote for McCain to be president with pleasure, not because I agree with his politics; I have never considered McCain's politics to be serious enough even to have strong feelings about them. I do not think McCain has a very strong politics. He is interested in an idea almost identical to George W. Bush. McCain is not intellectual, and has no strong ideology at all. He became a kind of liberal Republican because he was angry at the other Republicans, not because he was liberal.
Carlson has stated that former US president George W. Bush is not a true conservative. On August 27, 2004, Washington Post interview, Carlson expressed "his displeasure with Bush". Carlson asked: "Why do so many anti-war liberals give [John] Kerry a bait when he embraces Bush's view of Iraq, as he does? The number of teams playing on the left depresses me." Carlson did not vote in the 2004 election, arguing he was disgusted by the Iraq War and his disappointment with the once-small Republican government. He will proceed by saying:
I do not know what you consider conservative, but I am not much liberal, at least as the word is defined today. For example, I am totally against abortion, which I find horrible and cruel. I think the affirmative action is wrong. I want to slow down immigration dramatically. I hate all the rules of the nanny state, such as seat belt laws and smoking bans. I am not for big government. I think the US should hesitate before intervening abroad. I think this is a conservative boost. So according to my criteria, Bush is not too conservative.
Immigration
Carlson is accused of vilifying immigrants, both legal and undocumented. He railed against demographic changes in the United States in the form of a decrease in the proportion of whites and increasing Hispanic share, saying that this "makes people volatile". He has said that the visible demographic changes in Hazleton, Pa., Who see hispanics go from a small minority to a majority over a 15-year period are "more changes than humans are designed to digest."
Foreign policy
Carlson has stated in an interview with The Washington Post that he thinks "that the United States should hesitate before intervening abroad." According to Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com, Tucker is close enough to be anti-interventionist. He is also considered to have a skeptical record of foreign intervention.
Iraq War
Carlson supported the US war with Iraq during the first year. After a year, he began to criticize the war, saying to the New York Observer :
I thought it was a nightmare and a disaster, and I was ashamed that I resisted my own instincts in support of it. It's something I will never do again. Never. I was convinced by a friend of mine who was smarter than me, and I should not have done that. No. I want everything to go smoothly, but I'm really angry about it.
Russian
Carlson said he did not consider Russia a serious threat. Carlson has asked the United States to work with Russia in the Syrian Civil War. He opposed the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Peter Beinart of the Atlantic says that Carlson has become "an apologist for Donald Trump on the Russian scandal". Carlson describes the controversy behind the revelation that Donald Trump Jr. willing to receive anti-Clinton information from Russian government officials as "a new level of hysteria" and says that Trump Jr. just "gossiping with strangers."
Syria
In April 2018, Carlson questioned whether Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical attacks that occurred that same month and killed dozens. Carlson suggested that a similar attack that occurred the previous year (chemical attack Khan Shaykhun), widely linked to Assad forces, was a false flag attack that was carried out to wrongly imply Assad's regime.
Gay marriage
On July 24, 2007, Carlson said on his show, "I'm just for marriage in general, I'm for people making a lifetime commitment.You know what I mean? I'm not against gay marriage, actually, and I'm I the right-wing I know best. "Carlson then went on to say," I think, marriage has become a great thing for me, and I think it is a truly civilized power, and I think it will be a civilized force for gay people too. "
Libertarianism
Carlson chose Ron Paul in 1988 when he ran for the Libertarian Party presidential candidate. On 26 November 2007, it was reported that Carlson lobbied Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof to support Paul's candidacy. Carlson explained, "Dennis Hof is my best friend, so when we get to Nevada I decide to call him and see if he wants to come check this guy out."

On February 23, 2009, Carlson was introduced as a senior fellow to the Cato Institute; he is no longer a senior there.
Gender
Carlson endorsed the controversial remarks made by his brother, Buckley, about a spokesman for New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio. The spokesman asked for a correction for a story, and Buckley called it a "whiny and selfish whore" and made a sexually offensive comment. Tucker writes that Buckley "works the best way." Former New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn asked both Carlsons to apologize for "offensive" and "sexist" comments.

"
