Tucker Carlson aired an interview with disgraced conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday, in which Jones alleged that President Joe Biden is drugged on amphetamines and wandering around the White House naked and lost in the middle of the night.
Carlson has interviewed increasingly polarizing figures in recent months — including Hungary's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban and accused sex trafficker and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate.
On Thursday he spoke with Jones, who was ordered by a court last year to pay nearly $1.5 billion to the families of Sandy Hook victims after he defamed them by insisting the shooting was a hoax. Jones, who made hundreds of thousands of dollars selling ads on his conspiracy theory channel Infowars, has declared bankruptcy and says he doesn't have the money.
Elon Musk said Thursday that he is considering reinstating Jones on X — formerly Twitter — a move that would certainly help Jones' revenue stream.
Jones told Carson he believed Joe Biden'gone completely crazy.'

Tucker Carlson agreed with Jones, saying he confirmed Biden used amphetamines
Jones said, “He's been wandering around the White House naked for the entire two and a half years. In the middle of the night he doesn't know who he is.
“They have to give him a bunch of drugs, a lot of amphetamines in the morning, and they have to drug him at night.”
'Sometimes he's gone for a while in the morning and comes back in the evening for a ball. Then there really is a problem.'
Carlson nodded and looked serious.
'He's on medication. I have determined that,” Carlson said.
Carlson will speak with Jones on Thursday
'I know someone who witnessed it, I'm not betting on this. I personally know someone who witnessed the use of amphetamines. And this was during the 2020 election.”
Jones told Carlson, “That's huge. I know you don't play games.'
Jones, who has made a career out of shouting about an “evil Jewish mafia” and Muslim terrorists in our midst, and claims to have uncovered a “satanist, global plot” to impose a “New World Order,” was fired in 2018 Twitter banned.
He has claimed responsibility for the Oklahoma City bombing; the September 11 attacks; the Boston Marathon massacre; the mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado, and at Sandy Hook; and the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia were all “false flag” operations organized to take people's guns.
In 2022, Twitter ruled that Jones' ban from their platform was permanent.
Elon Musk said Thursday he would consider reinstating Alex Jones at X
However, Musk said Thursday that he was considering reappointing him — and that he would vote on the matter on the platform.
Jones' wife Erika Wulff Jones wrote on X: “Tucker Carlson's interview with the most censored man in the world is canceled tonight!”
Musk responded, “I'll think about it. As this platform aims to be the global town square, permanent bans should generally be extremely rare.
“Even if he says something untrue on this platform, @CommunityNotes will correct him, while that would not be the case elsewhere. Let's take a poll.'
Last year, Musk declined to reappoint Jones.
One person posted: “Bring back Alex Jones” – to which Musk replied: “No.”
Musk continued, “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat. “I have no sympathy for anyone who would use the death of children for gain, politics or fame.”
