He is also said to have influenced some key policy decisions by Trump. As of 2020, Tucker Carlson Tonight is the most-watched cable news show in the United States. Carlson's controversial statements on race, immigration and women have led to advertiser boycotts against the show.A vocal opponent of progressivism, Carlson has been called a nationalist. Originally a proponent of libertarian economic policy and a supporter of Ron Paul, Carlson would come to criticize the ideology as being "controlled by the banks" and became an active adherer to protectionism. He has also espoused anti-interventionalist views, renouncing his initial support of the Iraq War the year after it was declared.Carlson has written two books: a memoir titled Politicians, Partisans and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News (2003); and Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution (2018).
