Sean Hannity Breaks Silence on Tucker Carlson’s Shift — Says Former Colleague Is “Not the Person I Knew When He Was at Fox”’
Fox News mainstay Sean Hannity has finally broken his silence on the dramatic transformation of his former colleague, Tucker Carlson.
During a candid sit-down on the Katie Miller Podcast, Hannity didn’t hold back, painting a picture of a relationship that has gone completely cold since Carlson’s departure from the network.
Podcast host Katie Miller asked Hannity a straightforward question.
Katie Miller:
“How’s your relationship with Tucker Carlson now?”
Hannity’s answer was strikingly direct.
Sean Hannity:
“I don’t ever talk to him, ever. I wish him well. I’ve read a lot of what he says. I just completely disagree with it. And it’s not the person that I knew when he was at Fox.”

The statement marks one of Hannity’s clearest public acknowledgments that his relationship with Tucker Carlson has collapsed.
For years, Hannity and Carlson were among the most powerful voices on Fox News, dominating cable ratings and shaping the national conservative conversation.
Carlson hosted Tucker Carlson Tonight from 2016 until his sudden departure from the network in 2023, while Hannity continues to anchor one of Fox’s flagship primetime programs.
After leaving Fox, Carlson launched a highly successful independent media platform and podcast, which quickly became one of the most popular shows in the country.
But his increasingly controversial interviews and public feuds with other conservative figures, including President Trump, have triggered backlash from parts of the conservative establishment.
One of the biggest recent controversies involves U.S. military strikes against Iran. Carlson has strongly criticized the idea of America becoming entangled in another Middle East conflict.
Reports say Carlson described the strikes as “disgusting and evil,” arguing that war with Iran would not serve American interests and warning it could drag the United States into another long war.
Carlson has also drawn criticism from international officials and commentators after making strong claims about U.S. foreign policy and Israel.
For example, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Mike Huckabee, condemned some of Carlson’s comments about Israel and U.S. decision-making, accusing him of promoting harmful narratives about the alliance between the two countries.
Carlson’s recent interviews and commentary have fueled a growing ideological divide within the right, particularly over foreign policy, Israel, and America’s role overseas.
Some MAGA figures have defended Carlson, while others accuse him of undermining Trump or amplifying controversial voices.
