Tucker Carlson kicks off cross-country tour in Phoenix with prayers and Russell Brand
Tucker Carlson kicks off his live cross-country tour in Phoenix with special guest Russell Brand.
PHOENIX — Right-wing personality Tucker Carlson kicked off his live tour Wednesday night in battleground Arizona to a packed arena.
But instead of delivering his usual fiery political rhetoric, Carlson focused opening night of his 16-date tour on his faith and mentioned Donald Trump by name only a handful of times.
“I just couldn’t wait to see other people who I’m on the same page with,” he said as the crowd roared with approval.
Joining him on stage was a barefoot Russell Brand, the British comedian and actor who recently converted to Christianity and was spotted at the Republican National Convention in July. In 2023 British media reported allegations that Brand had sexually and emotionally abused four women, which he denies.
Together, Carlson and Brand mostly delivered a Bible sermon surrounding their shared Christian identity and only tangentially touched on the presidential race.
