Alp Patch is Tucker Carlson’s nicotine company. Tyler Oliveira @tyleraloevera just published a video of himself walking around a Jewish community in New Jersey, harassing Jews. He appears to have been banned from Patreon. So what does Tucker do? He just asked, “Chat, should we sponsor Tyler?” Tucker swears he doesn’t hate Jews though. He claims it’s only about “criticizing Israel”. So then why is Tucker trying to sponsor a guy who made a video of himself titled, “I exposed New Jersey’s Jewish invasion”. Are Jews not allowed to peacefully live in New Jersey anymore? It’s time to admit Tucker Carlson is a virulent Jew hater who is mainstreaming a generation of Jew obsessed podcasters and content creators. Now he wants to fund them too. How come the @US_FDA is working with Alp Patch? Seems like that relationship needs to be re-evaluated. Oh, I bet none of you knew about the FDAs special relationship with Tucker Qatarlson and his Nicotine company, did you? @RobertKennedyJc @US_FDA

- Tucker Carlson has stated that he does not hate Jews85%Model: Kimi K2.5 Checked on:
Based on the available evidence, the claim is TRUE.
Analysis:
-
Tucker Carlson has explicitly denied hating Jews in a text exchange with right-wing filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, stating: "I agree with all that and I admire it. I'm hardly against Jews"1.
-
At a Turning Point USA convention, Carlson "declared himself to be free of the anti-Jewish animus"2.
-
While Carlson has faced serious accusations of antisemitism from major Jewish organizations—including being named "Antisemite of the Year" by StopAntisemitism for "mainstreaming antisemitism"2—and has been criticized for using antisemitic tropes when describing Jewish Ukrainian President Zelensky as "sweaty and rat-like" and "shifty"3, as well as platforming white supremacist Nick Fuentes who has said "I love Hitler"45, these documented instances of him explicitly denying hatred toward Jews confirm that he has made such statements.
-
The statements that he does not hate Jews appear to be part of his defense against accusations of antisemitism, though critics argue his actions and rhetoric tell a different story.

- Tucker Carlson claims his actions are motivated only by criticism of Israel5%Checked on:
Based on my research, I was unable to find any evidence that Tucker Carlson has claimed his actions are motivated "only" by criticism of Israel. This specific claim appears to be fabricated or misattributed.
Here's what the research shows about Carlson's actual stated motivations:
-
Tucker Carlson has been extensively critical of Israel and US support for it, but his motivations are multi-faceted — he has described his "foremost concern" as America's "misplaced priorities" and the cost of administering "a global empire" for 80 years rather than addressing domestic issues1
-
Carlson has been scathingly critical of US support for Israel in its war with Hamas and has questioned Israel's strategic value, describing Israel as "a completely insignificant country" and stating the US has "no overriding strategic interest" in the relationship2
-
He has specifically targeted "Christian Zionism," calling it "the single biggest threat to Christianity in this country" and accusing its adherents of treating Israel's military dominance as a biblical mandate3
-
His criticisms of Israel have been contextualized as part of a broader "worldview: one suspicious of alliances, contemptuous toward interventionism, and invested in the conspiratorial belief that shadowy forces distort American sovereignty"4
-
Carlson has been accused by pro-Israel advocacy groups like StopAntisemitism of hostility toward Israel for his opposition to Israel's war in Gaza and his criticism of pro-Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC3
There is no evidence that Carlson has ever stated his actions are motivated "only" by criticism of Israel. His critiques appear to be part of a broader nationalist "America First" agenda focused on reducing foreign entanglements and reorienting US priorities domestically.

- Tucker Carlson is attempting to sponsor Tyler Oliveira85%Model: Kimi K2.5 Checked on:
Based on my research, here is the verification of this claim:
Verification:
The claim that Tucker Carlson is attempting to sponsor Tyler Oliveira is largely accurate, with some important context:
- Tucker Carlson owns a nicotine pouch company called ALP (Alp Supply Co.)123
- Following the removal of Tyler Oliveira's Patreon account after he posted controversial videos targeting Orthodox Jewish communities, ALP's corporate account on X posted: "Chat, should we sponsor Tyler? 👀"4
- This was a public social media tease/proposition rather than a confirmed or finalized sponsorship deal
- The post prompted condemnation from far-right activist Laura Loomer, who accused Carlson of "mainstreaming a generation of Jew obsessed podcasters and content creators"4
Tyler Oliveira is a YouTuber with over 7 million subscribers who faced backlash for videos investigating Hasidic Jewish communities in New York, which critics labeled as spreading antisemitic content and welfare fraud accusations456.
Reasoning:
- ALP (Carlson's nicotine pouch company) did publicly tease the idea of sponsoring Oliveira on X after his Patreon removal4
- The wording was presented as a question/poll ("should we sponsor Tyler?") rather than a confirmed sponsorship agreement
- This constitutes an "attempt" or public expression of interest in sponsoring Oliveira, though it may not have materialized into an actual deal

- Tucker Carlson is a virulent Jew hater35%Checked on:
Based on my research, here is my analysis of the claim that "Tucker Carlson is a virulent Jew hater":
Analysis of the Claim:
-
The claim is highly subjective and uses inflammatory language ("virulent Jew hater"), which lacks a precise definition. Carlson has not made any explicit statements such as "I hate Jews" or publicly declared hatred toward Jewish people as a group1.
-
However, multiple respected Jewish organizations have accused Carlson of antisemitism. StopAntisemitism named him "Antisemite of the Year," stating he "mainstreams antisemitism by platforming and praising Holocaust revisionists and Nazi apologists, while hiding behind irony and plausible deniability"2.
-
Major Jewish organizations including the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and B'nai B'rith International have condemned Carlson for using what they described as "antisemitic tropes" when he called Jewish Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "sweaty and rat-like," "shifty," "dead-eyed," a "comedian turned oligarch," and "a friend of BlackRock" (the CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is Jewish)3.
-
Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes—a white supremacist who has said "I love Hitler," denied the Holocaust, and described Jews as a "transnational gang"—on his show for a two-hour interview that was described as "broadly positive and congenial"4567. While Carlson did interject at one point to criticize Fuentes' antisemitism, many critics including conservative figures like Ted Cruz found this insufficient, stating that platforming such individuals makes one "complicit in that evil"47.
-
Carlson has promoted the Khazar theory, which questions the Jewish ancestral connection to Israel and is used to delegitimize Jewish claims to the land. He also suggested that if Jews claim "genetic right to certain pieces of land, it's going to be necessary to do genetic testing"1.
-
Carlson denies being an antisemite. In a text exchange, he stated, "I agree with all that and I admire it. I'm hardly against Jews"1. At a Turning Point USA convention, he "declared himself to be free of the anti-Jewish animus"2.
-
The characterization "virulent Jew hater" is stronger than documented evidence supports. While credible Jewish organizations have accused him of mainstreaming antisemitism, using antisemitic tropes, and platforming overt antisemites, there is no evidence of him explicitly expressing intense hatred for Jewish people as a group.

- Tucker Carlson is mainstreaming a generation of podcasters and content creators who are obsessed with Jews55%Checked on:
Based on my research, this claim appears to be an opinion/accusation made by Laura Loomer, a far-right Jewish activist, rather than a verified factual statement. However, there is documented evidence regarding the context of this accusation:
Reasoning:
- This exact quote originated from Laura Loomer, who made this accusation after Carlson's nicotine pouch company teased potentially sponsoring Tyler Oliveira, a YouTuber who made controversial videos targeting Orthodox Jewish communities123
- Carlson has indeed interviewed and platformed figures with documented antisemitic views, including Nick Fuentes (a white supremacist and Holocaust denier) and Ian Carroll (a Holocaust revisionist)453
- Multiple sources note that Carlson has been criticized for "mainstreaming" views once considered fringe, including antisemitic rhetoric and hostility toward Israel45
- The PBS NewsHour reported that "Carlson recognized that Fuentes is growing in influence, and Carlson wanted to harness that influence"4
- Conservative commentators and Jewish organizations have expressed concern that Carlson is helping bring far-right ideology and antisemitism into the political mainstream54
However, it's important to note that this is an accusation/opinion from a political activist (Loomer) rather than an established fact. The evidence shows Carlson has platformed individuals with antisemitic views, but whether this constitutes "mainstreaming a generation of podcasters obsessed with Jews" is a matter of interpretation.

- Tucker Carlson wants to fund podcasters and content creators who are obsessed with Jews35%Checked on:
Based on my investigation, here's my analysis of this claim:
Summary of findings:
-
The claim appears to reference an accusation made by far-right Jewish activist Laura Loomer, not a statement by Tucker Carlson himself12. Loomer accused Carlson of "mainstreaming a generation of Jew obsessed podcasters and content creators" after a specific incident involving YouTuber Tyler Oliveira12.
-
The specific incident occurred when Oliveira (who made controversial videos about Orthodox Jewish communities) was removed from Patreon. A nicotine pouch company owned by Tucker Carlson teased on X, "Chat, should we sponsor Tyler? 👀"12.
-
Carlson has not stated he "wants to fund" such content creators as a general policy. The claim conflates Loomer's accusation about his actions with his stated intentions.
-
Carlson has been criticized for:
Reasoning:
- The claim misrepresents the source of the statement. This was an accusation by Laura Loomer, not Carlson's own stated desire12.
- While Carlson has been criticized for platforming figures with antisemitic views and his company did tease sponsoring Oliveira, the claim exaggerates this into a general policy of funding "Jew obsessed" creators12.
- The term "obsessed with Jews" is Loomer's characterization, not how Carlson describes the creators he platforms21.

- The United States Food and Drug Administration is working with Alp Patch40%Checked on:
Based on my research, I can evaluate this claim about the FDA and Alp Patch.
Findings:
- ALP is a nicotine pouch brand launched by Tucker Carlson in partnership with Turning Point Brands, which handles manufacturing and distribution12.
- The FDA launched a pilot program in September 2025 to fast-track reviews of nicotine pouch applications, and ALP (manufactured by Turning Point Brands) was included as one of the brands in this program23.
- ALP is currently seeking FDA authorization through the Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) process, but as of December 19, 2025, the FDA had authorized 6 nicotine pouch products from a different manufacturer (Helix Innovations/ on! PLUS), not ALP4.
- The FDA is actively reviewing ALP's application along with other brands in the pilot program, but "working with" is misleading - the relationship is regulatory oversight rather than collaboration14.
The phrasing "working with Alp Patch" is partially accurate but imprecise. The FDA is reviewing ALP's application through the regulatory PMTA process and included it in an expedited review pilot program, but this is standard regulatory procedure, not a collaborative partnership. There have also been allegations of FDA violations during this review process1.
Overall validity: 40%
- The United States Food and Drug Administration has a special relationship with Tucker Carlson and his nicotine company40%Checked on:
Based on my research, I found no relevant claims in the fact-checking database. However, I was able to find information through web searches about Tucker Carlson's nicotine company ALP and its relationship with the FDA.
Analysis of the claim:
- Tucker Carlson launched a nicotine pouch company called ALP in partnership with Turning Point Brands12
- The FDA initiated a pilot program in September 2025 to fast-track PMTA (Premarket Tobacco Product Application) decisions for select nicotine pouch brands132
- Turning Point Brands (Carlson's manufacturing partner) was included in this pilot program alongside three other major tobacco companies: Philip Morris International, Altria, and Reynolds American342
- The fast-track program aims to complete reviews by December 2025 and was launched amid pressure from the Trump administration to speed up approvals and clear regulatory backlogs423
- When asked if he spoke to administration officials (such as HHS Secretary RFK Jr. or Vice President JD Vance, who employs Carlson's son) to expedite the application, Carlson stated "no"5
- ALP has faced scrutiny for alleged FDA violations during the approval process, including failing to include required nicotine warnings in social media advertising and implying endorsements by government officials1
Key Considerations:
- The pilot program includes multiple major tobacco companies, not just Turning Point Brands/ALP23
- The expedited review appears to be part of a broader Trump administration policy to accelerate nicotine pouch approvals generally, rather than specific preferential treatment for Carlson's company423
- Carlson himself has expressed hostility toward the FDA, stating "We shouldn't need FDA approval" and calling FDA officials "douchebags"6
- The inclusion in the pilot program does not mean exemption from federal tobacco laws or guaranteed approval1
Overall validity: 40%
While Tucker Carlson's nicotine company was included in an FDA fast-track pilot program alongside other major tobacco companies, characterizing this as a "special relationship" is misleading. The expedited review process appears to be the result of general Trump administration pressure on the FDA to speed up approvals industry-wide, not specific preferential treatment for Carlson. Additionally, Carlson has been openly critical of the FDA and denies lobbying administration officials for special treatment.
