Conservative activist Tucker Carlson has a bombshell planned for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday night.
When the 46th president takes the stage on Capitol Hill at 7:00 p.m., Tucker said he’ll join Biden live right after.
Not on stage – in studio.
Tucker played on the infamous leaked clip of former Fox News star Bill O’Reilly having a meltdown at his former Access Hollywood job to announce the news.
“F**k it, we’ll do it live!” the leaked clip shows an angry O’Reilly exclaiming.
Carlson said the same thing… with a little fewer expletives.
“So, when this is finally over I guess I’ll write analysis of it, or whatever,” Carlson said in his teaser clip. “And we’ll put it up tomorrow.”
Feigning a conversation with his producer, Carlson said, “Oh, come on. We can’t go right on after” the State of the Union address before cutting to O’Reilly’s infamous clip.
“We will be live on [Twitter], TuckerCarlson.com, and many other platforms — live, Thursday after the State of the Union.”

President Joe Biden’s team said he plans to use the State of the Union address on Thursday as part of his campaign against former President Donald Trump.
Biden faces serious doubts about his capability and age by the electorate, polls show. Democrats hope that the speech will allow Biden to shake off some of those questions.
Critics say they expect Biden to stumble and falter throughout the speech.
At 81 years old, Biden will be closely watched to see if he can deliver with energy and command. His approval ratings remain low, with 61 percent disapproving of his job performance in a recent AP-NORC poll. The same survey found over 60 percent of adults lack confidence in Biden’s mental capability to serve effectively.
According to the White House, Biden will try to showcase victories like infrastructure investments and manufacturing initiatives.
However, Biden will be speaking to a divided, skeptical Congress. Both parties are framing the state of the union in dire terms like “crisis” and “catastrophe.”
Republicans have repeatedly raised questions about Biden’s mental acuity, seizing on the recent classified documents probe where the special counsel suggested huge concerns.
The speech also comes amid continued fighting between Israel and Hamas, which the administration had hoped would see a ceasefire before the address. Biden will make a forceful call for Congress to approve aid for Ukraine’s war effort after months of inaction by the House.
Both parties are positioning the speech as a prime opportunity to make their case to voters ahead of the 2024 election.
After the address, Carlson won’t be alone.
Republican Party leadership will give their rebuttal led by Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, a rising GOP star.
“Americans are struggling amid a border catastrophe, crushing inflation, an increasingly dangerous world, and fears about a President not up to the task. Against this backdrop, Senator Katie Britt will share her incredible story as the first woman elected to the United States Senate from the state of Alabama,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a statement.
“As the only current Republican mom of school-aged kids serving in the Senate, Katie is fighting to preserve the American Dream for the next generation,” Johnson said. “The American people will tune in as the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate turns the page on the oldest President in history.”
