Shawn Ryan Show

Tucker Carlson is a leading voice in American politics, recognized by Time magazine as the “most powerful conservative in America,” and the host of The Tucker Carlson Show, a long-form conversational podcast launched after his departure from Fox News in 2023. 

He attended St. George’s School in Rhode Island, where he met his future wife, Susan, and developed a passion for debating, before earning a B.A. in history from Trinity College in 1991. After a rejected CIA application, Carlson pursued journalism, starting as a fact-checker for Policy Review and writing for outlets like The Weekly Standard, New York magazine, and Reader’s Digest.

His broadcast career spanned CNN (2000–2005) as co-host of The Spin Room and Crossfire, PBS (2004–2005) with Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered, and MSNBC (2005–2008) with Tucker. In 2010, he co-founded The Daily Caller, a political news website, selling his stake in 2020. Carlson joined Fox News in 2009, becoming a contributor, co-hosting Fox & Friends Weekend (2013–2016), and later hosting Tucker Carlson Tonight (2016–2023), the highest-rated program in cable news history.

After leaving Fox in 2023, he founded TCN, an online media company dedicated to unfiltered, truth-driven reporting, reshaping the media landscape with record-breaking online interviews featuring figures like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Elon Musk. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Ship of Fools and The Long Slide. Carlson advocates for independent media, free speech, and fearless discourse on critical issues.

#253 Chase Hughes - Real MKUltra Documents, Alien Deception and Simulation Theory

Matt Bissonnette is a former United States Navy SEAL known for his participation in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, as detailed in his bestselling book No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden (2012), written under the pen name Mark Owen. 

A DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) operator, Bissonnette served multiple combat deployments and was one of the SEALs who entered bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The book, which became a New York Times bestseller, sparked controversy for not being cleared by the Pentagon, leading to a 2016 settlement where Bissonnette agreed to forfeit royalties and speaking fees. 

He has since advised on the CBS series SEAL Team (2017–present) and maintains a low public profile.

Jon Delaney is the founder and leader of Real News No Bullshit (RNNBS), an independent news platform launched in January 2021 to provide unbiased, agenda-free coverage of domestic and global events. Fed up with mainstream media's perceived biases, Delaney created RNNBS as a digital outlet on Instagram and other platforms, focusing on straightforward reporting without sensationalism. 

The platform has grown rapidly, offering news summaries, and video content on topics like politics, international affairs, and current events. Delaney avoids the spotlight and his work emphasizes transparency and truth-seeking in journalism.

As the primary operator, he oversees content creation and has expanded RNNBS to include backups and related channels for resilience against platform restrictions. Delaney advocates for independent media, press freedom, and empowering audiences to form their own opinions based on facts, often critiquing established news sources for "bullshit" narratives.
