Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck are two of the most recognizable conservative voices in the media today. On July 2nd, these two will be joined together for a special interview following the FAMiLY Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa.
This historic event has become one of the largest gatherings of Christians seeking cultural transformation in America, and is set to spark some fireworks between Tucker Carlson and presidential nominees.
And Tucker may spark fireworks Friday as he goes head to head with presidential nominees live on stage at the FAMiLY Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa.
BlazeTV’s coverage of the “Midwest’s largest gathering of Christians seeking cultural transformation in the family, church, government, and more,” featuring Tucker Carlson interviewing a slate of presidential candidates, begins at 10 a.m. ET Friday morning.
Coverage of this summit begins at 10 a.m. EST on Friday morning with individual on-stage interviews with presidential candidates as they prepare for 2024 election season.
Given his history of holding nothing back during heated debates, viewers can likely expect Tucker Carlson’s interviews to be especially spicy during this event.
At last year’s summit, Tucker gave a speech about how voters should hold their political leaders accountable for their actions by ensuring that “the single most important thing in the world [is] totally unrelated to your life or the life of any other 350 million people who live here.”
Prior to leaving Fox News, he was known to regularly raise some Republican viewers’ hackles by openly sharing pointed opinions on conservative political figures like former Governor Nikki Haley–whom he will also be interviewing at this year’s summit– saying she is “fundamentally indistinguishable from the neoliberal donor base of the Democratic Party.”
Former Vice President Mike Pence has recently condemned Tucker’s coverage of January 6th riot at Gridiron Club dinner without calling him out directly; while former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson was subjected to devastatingly blunt questioning regarding his decision to veto a bill that would have prevented physicians from prescribing puberty blockers and/or surgically castrating children who believe they are transgender.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), former Vice President Mike Pence (R), Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), author and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (R), former United Nations Amb. and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R), and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) have all confirmed their attendance at the 2023 FAMiLY Leadership Summit: Principle over Politics.
Former President Donald Trump (R), though invited, will not be participating in the summit, Vander Plaats confirmed Tuesday morning in a tweet finalizing the lineup. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), President Joe Biden (D), and Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were also invited, but will not be participating.
Glenn Beck will be interviewing Tucker Carlson after the summit.
These topics are sure to be discussed heavily throughout this weekend’s summit and will provide much insight into each candidate’s views prior to 2024 elections.
