Tucker Carlson Tried To Join The CIA 😳
Tucker Carlson reveals he applied to the CIA during his senior year of college, hoping to work in operations. He was rejected due to recent drug use, and despite his family's ties to the agency, he now considers himself a sworn enemy of the CIA.
Summary
In this brief clip, Tucker Carlson discusses his youthful attempt to join the Central Intelligence Agency. As a college senior, he applied for an operations role, admitting he had little real understanding of what the CIA actually did. He contextualizes his motivation within the Cold War era, describing it as a binary choice between supporting the US or the Soviet Union — a choice he found straightforward.
Carlson also addresses criticism he has received, including from Vladimir Putin, regarding his family's connections to the CIA. He openly acknowledges that his father worked in conjunction with the agency, framing this as a matter of public record he does not attempt to hide.
Despite this background, Carlson declares that he is now a 'sworn enemy' of the CIA. He reveals that his application was rejected because he had used certain drugs within the 12-month window prior to applying, which disqualified him under the rules at the time.
