The Doha Forum which is reportedly going to be held between Dec. 6-7 has sparked an online spat between the CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) Neil Patel and radio host Mark Levin.
Neil Patel is set to speak at the Doha Forum, and a question from an X user as to why Patel was speaking at the Forum began a heated string of exchanges between Patel and Levin.
Levin said in an X post: “Qatarlson, Inc. Should they register as foreign agents under FARA? Just asking questions.”
To which Patel responded to it, saying, “Must suck to watch helplessly in your later years as your life’s work falls apart completely.”
But the exchanges didn’t stop there but only seemed to escalate as the two personalities began exchanging blows on Elon Musk’s social media platform.
Levin also said in another X post: “Neil Patel, a pimple on a camel’s a*s. You must be proud of the Jew-hatred and anti-American filth your network spews. Grifters like you eventually fade away. Enjoy Qatar next week, a heinous terror and slave dictatorship, sleaze ball.”

To which Patel replied: “Wow, is this unhinged. Hoping you find the help you clearly need, Mark.”
Mark Levin is an American lawyer, author, and conservative political commentator, best known as the host of the nationally syndicated radio program “The Mark Levin Show.”
Born in 1957, Levin initially built his career as an attorney and served as chief of staff for the United States Secretary of Labor. Over time, he became a prominent voice in conservative media, blending legal expertise with political analysis. His radio program reaches millions of listeners across hundreds of stations, offering commentary on U.S. politics, constitutional law, national security, and cultural issues.
Levin also hosts the television show “Life, Liberty & Levin,” where he interviews politicians, authors, and thought leaders. As a best-selling author, he has written multiple books advocating conservative principles, constitutional interpretation, and limited government.
In 2025, Mark Levin publicly criticized Tucker Carlson over Carlson’s interviews with controversial figures, including white-nationalist Nick Fuentes. Levin condemned Carlson for giving a platform to extremists, calling his actions “poison” for the conservative movement and labeling Carlson a “modern‑day David Duke.”

Carlson, in response, denied being a Nazi promoter and emphasized that hosting controversial guests does not equal endorsement, challenging Levin to a debate “face to face” and accusing him of cowardice.
Neil Patel is the co‑founder and CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), a subscription-based video service launched with Tucker Carlson in December 2023. The network provides a mix of premium and ad-supported content, including long-form interviews, political commentary, and cultural analysis.
Patel oversees the business operations, strategic direction, and growth initiatives of TCN, while Carlson serves as the on-air host and content driver. In June, Patel and Carlson reportedly bought out all external investors, giving themselves full ownership and operational control of the network.
Patel’s role as CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network demonstrates the increasing influence of new independent media ventures, while Carlson and Levin’s disagreements reflect contrasting approaches to conservative commentary, one prioritizing open debate and controversial interviews, the other emphasizing moral boundaries and ideological consistency.
