- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Did you see the Tucker Carlson interview on Full Send?
- Uh, yes, I saw, I didn't watch the entire thing,
but I saw a few clips of it when he's talked about
how much he regrets supporting the war in Iraq,
that's what you're referring to, yeah, yeah.
And I believe him, I think he really means it.
- I believe him too.
- Sometimes, you know, sometimes there's people like,
there's like John McCain types, who go like,
you know, or Hillary Clinton, they'll admit,
okay, it was a mistake, but then they still support
every subsequent war after that,
and then it doesn't seem, whereas Tucker is like,
I'm so ashamed that I supported this,
I'll never forgive myself for it,
and has opposed every subsequent war after that,
and I'm like, okay, I think this guy really believes it.
- He's different than people want to pretend he is.
First of all, the guy was a deadhead.
- Yeah.
- You know that, he used to follow the dead around?
- Yeah.
- So for sure dropped acid.
- That'd be my guess.
- How else can you enjoy the music?
- I think it's legally required that you've taken acid
at least once if you're gonna enjoy the Grateful Dead.
I'm not sure.
I don't know, I haven't brushed up on the statutes.
- I think that music comes alive to LSD,
according to my friends who've been there and done that.
It's really interesting what the public perception of Tucker Carlson is or
particularly how polarizing he is to people that it's almost like you're there
describing a different person than he actually is.
- Right.
- I really, I think he was the most interesting person in cable news, the most
thoughtful, most intelligent.
Like he was really, he, I don't agree with him on anything, you know, on my, on
my podcast, we used to do a segment where it was just, I had just done it so
many times that we started joking about it being a segment that we called Contra
Carlson.
Cause I was just disagreeing with him, like he had all these economic ideas
that I completely disagree with and I disagree with a lot of stuff he said, but
he was like such a, like the, the lone voice in like really the corporate press
who was completely opposed to the military industrial complex, completely
opposed to big pharma and all of the COVID insanity.
It was really good on like speaking up about a lot of really important issues,
issues that you would think like a good leftist would at least appreciate that
he's good on that issue, you know?
And some, some of them did.
This is what he's the guy who's having Glenn Greenwald on his show.
You know what I mean?
He's the guy who's having Aaron Matei and Jimmy Dore.
- Yes.
- Right wingers.
He's having like the, he's having them.
- A lot of left wingers.
- And it was, it was very interesting.
He wasn't a partisan.
He would be completely against the Republican party, was viciously critical of
the Republican party.
Hates the Republican establishment.
And even the stuff I see, I've seen so many people be like, um, you know, he
was, uh, he bought into Trump's, uh, claims that the election was stolen.
And I'm like, I don't know, dude, do you watch him?
Cause I've watched his show and that's actually not, he was the guy.
He took a lot of heat from this, from right wingers that immediately following
the election of 2020, he really aggressively called out Trump's lawyers.
Uh, Rudy Giuliani and, uh, Sidney, uh, Powell, I think was the other one.
Cause they were making claims about the dominion voting machines that they
flipped millions of votes.
And Tucker Carlson went on his show and he goes, okay, if this is true, it's
the biggest story in the history of the United States of America.
So what evidence do you have?
And he's like, we have reached out privately to, to the Trump's lawyers.
We've gotten nothing in return.
So to be clear, they're making this claim and providing nothing to back it up.
He really was like, no, no.
Now what he has said later is there'll be like the poll quotes and be like,
yeah, but he referred to 2020 as a scam or something like that.
And it's like, yeah, but you don't watch his show.
So you don't get that.
Like what he was saying was, yeah, the dominion vote flipping thing is bullshit.
No one's ever provided any evidence of that.
But the fact that big tech and the intelligence agencies work together to
undermine the Hunter Biden story to get Joe Biden across the finish line is
bullshit.
Like that's, you know what I mean?
That's a scam.
And he's, that's a completely reasonable position to take.
Again, it's just, you know, like, look at this dude, Don Lemon is out at CNN,
right?
I promise you, whoever replaces Don Lemon has the same exact views as Don Lemon
and the same exact views of everybody else at CNN.
And that's not true for Tucker Carlson.
Right.
Like there's, at least there was a guy out there who like would disagree with
the, with the rest of the people at his network.
Yeah.
Disagree with both political parties.
He's really designed for the internet.
I hope he, I hope he goes there.
He's going to, unless they've paid him off to like the, I mean, if I was a
person in a position of power and a wild card like Tucker Carlson got released
from Fox News and maybe Rumble makes it up.
And maybe Rumble makes a deal with him or something like that.
Do you have any fucking idea how big that would be?
It'd be very big.
How big his show, it could make that, that app.
It could make that, that platform.
Yeah.
I mean, if Tucker Carlson goes over there, it would be worth it for them to
invest a considerable amount of money.
But if I was Fox News, that's the last thing I would want.
So I would make sure that we have him locked up for the entire term of some
contract, some no compete and pay him off.
You'd be better off just giving him the same amount of money he made when he
was on the air.
Well, and I wonder.
You would have him opposing you.
I wonder what he's already under contract for.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like there may already be some clause in his contract that says, you know, if
we leave, there's X amount of time.
I'm sure.
I don't know.
They're fucking Fox News, man.
They're smart.
They're not stupid.
Although.
It was very shocking seeing him leave.
Yes.
I was, I was surprised.
Although in hindsight, one of those things were like, I was surprised right
away.
And then like two days later, I'm like, how was he ever even there?
Like how would, this guy was on the 8:00 PM hour at Fox News saying the CIA
killed Kennedy.
Like how did, how was that ever a real thing?
You know, like.
He did say that.
It's insane.
He was like, but what's crazy to me is that like so many progressives have like,
it's like, you're, it's like invasion of the body snatchers.
Or something.
It's like, is this the real you man?
Have you just been replaced with an NPC?
Right.
The 8:00 PM hour at Fox News is saying the CIA killed Kennedy.
That's not interesting to you.
Right.
That's not like something like, I'm not saying you have to agree with them on
everything, but like, that's not kind of, that's different than Bill O'Reilly.
Yeah.
That's a different, this is a different world we're living in now.
Yeah.
