On November 7, 2025, during an episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' host Megyn Kelly engaged Tucker Carlson in a conversation regarding Ben Shapiro's recent remarks. Carlson stated that he does not view Shapiro as a significant threat and does not focus on him. He mentioned receiving numerous messages about Shapiro's comments but chose not to watch Shapiro's critique, which he described as labeling him as dangerous.

Carlson recounted a past encounter with Shapiro at a memorial service, describing Shapiro as polite but somewhat uncomfortable. He expressed a lack of interest in engaging in a conflict with Shapiro. Carlson questioned the logic behind the assertion that his interview, in which he condemned anti-Semitism, could be interpreted as aligning with extremist views. He sought clarity on the argument being presented against him.
