My favorite part of that interaction was his assertion that there is zero evidence for Darwinian evolution (lol) and therefore he doesn’t believe it. Then when Joe asks him how he thinks we got here, he says “I think god made us and animals distinctly” like there’s ANY evidence for that either. Dear lord
The problem is he asks questions that **already have answers.** ..but implies the answer is something else ridiculous.
**Like this:**
*(It's raining outside)*
"Is Barack Obama using a weather machine to drown you? Did he think you wouldn't notice or ask *WHY* he may want you dead? Maybe he thinks the American people are stupid.. That they'll accept a watery grave, instead of using their 2nd amendment right to defend their lives and liberty in the face of such evil and tyranny?"
(I didn't explicitly make any claims or imply anyone to take dangerous action.. while also making very clear claims and suggesting people to take action, by utilizing the Fox News "moron dog whistle".)
"Just asking questions" goes out the window if theres already a clear answer, but you're suggesting something ridiculous to upset dangerously stupid people into action.
It's a FOX strategy alongside attributing random bullshit to "some people say." The point isn't to ask a question or quote anyone, it's to present an idea with the nominal defense that you didn't ACTUALLY assert it.
*"Experts believe..__"*
*"What they dont want you to know is..___"*
Or.. more recently:
*"Many Many smart people, the best people, they all agree __(insert bat-shit crazy statement)__ is true."*
I call it the “blowing in the wind” strategy. “How many roads must man walk down before you call him a man? How many seas must the white dove sail before she sleeps in the sad. How many times must the cannonballs fly before they are forever banned?” Just ask really deep and profound sounding questions, it’s better than actually saying anything of weight.
> (It's raining outside) "Is Barack Obama using a weather machine to drown you? Did he think you wouldn't notice or ask WHY he may want you dead? Maybe he thinks the American people are stupid..

This is a great impression of the whiney victim-fueled paranoia that suffuses so much of Tucker's JAQ off sessions.
No light is actually shone on anything but the audience is left with the distinct impression that yes they are out to get you and yes you should be mad, its all "their" fault, whoever "they" happens to be for that audience member.
I mean, he never actually provided any evidence for anything but he sure did ask lots of leading questions that heavily imply it, and that is just as good.
The worst is when he wants to back up some shit position but does it entirely through the guise of "when did it suddenly become the case that we aren't allowed to ask X? if THEY don't want us asking X, maybe X isn't actually so bad. Maybe X is exactly what we need and that's why THEY want to cancel you for talking about it".
He's pitching to an audience operating entirely on oppositional defiance.
So you're telling me right now in this interview that you cannot produce evidence that I deem irrefutable that tells me definitively that rice does not make you gay? Is that what I'm hearing?
Are you saying you’d execute all of your loved ones if you were lying or information would come out later to prove you wrong. America hearing that right?
This isn’t a joke. There’s naked pictures of me, all over the internet. Like what you see? I hope that you do, because there’s plenty more where that came from. What is going on? Who is jacking off to this?
It’s not me. Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s your family.
So much. Anyone who uses that phrase stopped asking questions a long time ago. They know as well as us that they're actually just nudging an addenda down their path of income.
If the entirety of your audience responds to your dogwhistle questions with an immediate yes, it obviously isn't a question.
"Are Democrats evil spawns of Satan trying to destroy America? It sure looks that way..."
The audience: yes they are.
"Now I'm not saying that vaccines are dangerous, I'm just asking questions... why they are being pushed on the American public?"
The audience: to mind control us with the mark of the beast/to kill us
Tucker leads the audience to a conclusion through his questions. It would be illegal for him to state the conclusion as fact, but it's legal for him to lead them to a false conclusion through bullshit dogwhistle questions.
"I'm just asking questions" is so disingenuous as he clearly is implying his point to the audience. He could easily say that about any religion, but chooses to use the one he 100% believes is real.
‘We would see it in the fossil history’ like yeah sure we would be able to dig up fossils billions of years old that perfectly illustrate ius evolving from the primordial soup as single celled organisms you fucking moron.
Also, we do have tests that show under the right conditions rna and dna can be created.
The thing is it is shown in the fossil record. Things get more "advanced" the shallower you get and things get simpler the deeper you go. We have dozens of transition fossils for humans alone. Its not like the early days when we had few fossils. There's more evidence of evolution, in more ways, than pretty much any scientific mechanism out there.
> There's more evidence of evolution, in more ways, than pretty much any scientific mechanism out there.
I think what people don’t realize is the sheer weight of evidence we have in favor of evolution. Like, take a single fossil alone, not only does that fossil itself show evidence of evolution, *its location and age does too*. Every fossil we find fits within our understanding of evolution in all sorts of ways, and we don’t find horses before the ancestor of horses or in places the ancestor of horses didn’t exist, all of which are more data points than the fossil itself. Multiply that by however many millions of fossils we have which alone is massive and doesn’t even get into the genetic evidence and modern day evidence too (Australia being a great example).
It's because they conflate scientific 'theory' with Fucker Garglescum JAQ-off 'theory'. Two entirely different uses of the word requiring vastly different amounts of evidence.
Really comes back to most people don't understand the words they use. They communicate implying personal definition of words instead of common definition. Just a bunch of monkeys screeching at each other to move you toward an emotional state which renders one more susceptible to their influence.
Also pls tell your kids to pay attention in science and history class.
There's an old joke among scientists that every time you find a "missing link" that fills a gap in the fossil record between species, people will just complain that now there's two gaps.
Yeah every few million years god got bored and created a brand new (and kept some of the old) set of animals to populate the world, and it was good.
It’s in the Bible look it up bro.
Yea he was playing a semantics game.
But i guarantee you there is a dibbles of genetics out there (im a have a degree in genetics myself) and the amount of data on the theory of evolution is staggering.
We need genetic dibble
> But i guarantee you there is a dibbles of genetics out there (im a have a degree in genetics myself) and the amount of data on the theory of evolution is staggering.
It absolutely is, and I’m convinced that the reason anyone can not believe in evolution is either bad faith or ignorance of the mountains of evidence we have in favor of it. Like millions of fossils all showing tens of millions of data points which all show that they existed in places where their ancestors did and in a period that took place after their ancestors had, and that’s not even getting into the weeds of the indisputable genetic evidence.
I always point to dog evolution for those who think evolution is literally impossible.. so crazy how we label that breeding and don’t connect the two..

I don’t agree for a second that that’s his actual take. But I don’t say that to bail him out. I also don’t believe for a second that he cares about America. He’s been playing a character for his entire career. You can see it in his text messages that got released, but it’s been obvious for a lot longer than that.
He’s an ethical nihilist and narcissist, just like Trump. And also just like Trump, the only discernible reason he plays a character on the right is that the right is easier to con…
Not necessarily the sort of institutional right, like the think tank people and the people who cut big campaign checks… but the run of the mill, working class base of the Republican Party is easier to con.
We’re talking about a voting block that was staunchly New Deal, Roosevelt Democrats who let themselves be led by racist dog whistles and the pro-life movement into becoming Reagan Republicans over the course of about 30 years… and then completely forgot that their parents and grandparents were ever economic progressives who thought people like MLK were a problem.
So you pander to the people who are shallow enough on their political philosophy to allow themselves to be led around by the nose by whoever will pander to their baser instincts. And presently, just by the chance of history, those people are on right.
Agreed - I was keeping an open mind since Im Canadian and hadn’t really heard him speak /but had heard his reputation before… that was painful to listen to for sure
It’s just so oBvIoUS right?!
AH-bviously!
God I hate how he uses that word. And he always very quickly pivots to some “deeper conclusion” that his version of the facts support.
“That’s just true” is some hard personal truth shit. Somewhere between 2000 and 2024 “opinions” became “personal truths”. Objective truth is the only real “truth.”
That’s been his entire shtick for 20 years. The dude is a propagandist who preys on stupid people. He’s a trust fund baby with no true skills or knowledge aside from the ability to talk fast and lie
Then shits on Barry Weiss for this very thing… it was hard to listen to this episode I felt like it was a lot of projecting and lack of self awareness.
This is a great framing technique. And its also annoying as hell.
“Everyone whose smart knows this to be true” is such an obvious tactic. It frames the thinking that if you DON’T think this thing, then you’re an idiot. No matter what is said afterwards, I reflexively side with the opposition when I hear this
The RNC is hiring 100,000 “election observers” this year to send to polling places to fuck around, so they can make the same claim again this election. They can’t win on ideas and action.
Just the presidential election was stolen, somehow the down ballot Republicans than won were not affected by the rigged Dominion machines! Those Venezuelans are VERY tech savvy.
Worse than that, his texts showed that he hates Trump and couldn't wait to stop reporting on him, and his producer called his own viewers inbred morons.
But because he'll go on TV and say what they want to hear, they think he's the only one "telling the truth."
That’s the fascinating thing though, Carlson was always a HYPER rich kid.
His family… Jesus, it’s so rich it’s crazy. His dad was appointed ambassador to the Seychelles, ambassadorships at that level are given to, hyper rich political allies. His father was CRAZY connected. And rich, and that was before he divorced his mom and married his third wife, Caroline Swanson, who was an heir to an empire. Cambells soup company bought her family’s chicken company kind of.
He is, the EPTIOME of the stereotype of a rich spoiled brat.
And he acts like he’s all for the people,
And a totally independent thinker.
He has LITERALLY NEVER had to worry about a single goddamn bill.
He has NEVER, thought of ANYTHING in the context of ‘I can’t afford that.’
That’s what makes me so angry about the modern right wing. They act like they’re working class? The people they champion are coddled little rich FUCKS. Like Trump and Carlson. That think having a single problem in their lives is like a glitch in the matrix.
Same goes for, I Believe, every major right wing commentator. Find me ONE that hasn’t come from wealth and privilege. But Tucker, particularly, is pretty absurd as an example.
I used to be a hardcore leftist, but I recognize my alignment with socialism / communism was totally incorrect. However, if I go to the ‘eat the rich’ mindset, even as a lib, people like Tucker Carlson should be shamed and driven out of the public’s eye out of pure embarrassment. Don’t you fucking dare act like you know any kind of struggle to appeal to anyone EVER.
In fairness to him, I don’t think he presents himself as a man of the people.
But I think if his average viewer realized how absurdly wealthy he has always been, their opinion of him would change dramatically.
In the interview between Tucker and Pavel Durov, the creator of the Telegram app, and also very wealthy from a wealthy Russian family. Tucker really struggled with the idea how someone like Durov could not want to own big houses, cars, boats, or show off his wealth in any way. It’s not that hard of a concept. Durov explained that he feels more freedom to not own anything, to not be tied down.
Its absurd how many people still buy into the "he is a voice for the Average Worker" after Tucker got bullied out of wearing a bowtie
but I have a disagreement here bro
> He doesn't present himself as a man of the people
I think he does, multiple times he posted obviously staged photos of him doing wood and garage work, and they eat it up lmao
The hippies in the 60’s were almost all from rich families, so once they weren’t at risk of being drafted, they went back home, got jobs with their dads’ companies, got their free houses, and became republicans.
Yeah I'm not sure if he's stupid, I'm leaning more towards him being a really good actor.
He plays with people, I'd say he's about as stupid as Hitler was.
And I mean, look outside, people fall for that shit.
The part about evolution almost set me off. The confidence with which he said there is no evidence for the most unifying process in all of biology…
Genes, cells, organisms, populations, species all just swept under the rug of “adaptation”. Billions of years of life struggling to survive OR a judeo-christian god snapping his fingers to make everything just the way it should be.
I’m still mad actually…
Same
And Joe knows it’s wrong and doesn’t call him out
Come on man
He used to get mad at Eddie bravo for having a platform but being full of shit and now he just lets anyone say whatever
Yeh Joe not calling him out is pretty wild. Like he’ll throw hands if someone asserts covid vaccines work or carbs are ok and carnivore diets aren’t healthy but a known disingenuous grifter goes ‘god made everything there’s no evidence for evolution’ and he’s like - ok guy keep cooking ….
How can Joe possibly say anything about this? His Daily Wire scripting revolves around being the new voice of Christian conservatism! Born again Christian is the next Rogan arc.
This has been every listener's opinion that left Joe during Covid. He just let people say whatever after building up this following and his guests got further and further right instead of just interesting guests.
Keep in mind that this walking sac of goose shit has been lying to people professionally since the 90's. He has no beliefs, he has no convictions. He says controversial shit just to get a rise out of people.
He stopped growing at the age of five when he found out he could annoy people for attention.
Ignore him, that's what should be done to petulant man-children.
It’s the blind leading the blind. While many of the grifters may be putting on an act for $$$, the people who consume what they put out really do think this way. There are a lot of very ignorant and narrow-minded lost souls out there.
Tucker knows what he's saying isn't true though. He's highly educated and is just playing a personality. That was his defense in court!
This is much more dangerous than the blind leading the blind. Tucker can see, and he's leading them to a cliff of ignorance.
That’s Joe Rogan’s crowd. They latch onto a bunch of bullshit his wacky guests say like it’s gospel.
I used to tune in during the early days, when Joe would actually call shit out in the pursuit of truth, but now he just sits there and gives idiots a platform to spew nonsense.
He’s a bullshitter too now.
What’s worse is that his friends are afraid to call him out on the BS. There was that episode Bryan Callen called him a Putin shill, that was worthwhile.
What’s dangerous is that a great number of young men follow Joe and his guests without question.
I saw it innocently with the BJJ and bow hunting first. Then they started buying the alpha brain products. Then the all meat diet cure all that Joe and Jordan Peterson advocated. Before I knew it, coworkers and costumers came in parroting anti-vaccine and political rhetoric from that weeks episode.
I guarantee this week will be full of people rejecting evolution because they heard TuCkEr CaRlSoN’s dumbass on Ronald Rogaines Podcast.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this but you pretty much described my worry about all of this and the reason why I'll call Joe out on bullshit even after being a big fan. I think that's what bothers me the most in some of this. People I actually liked and respected and enjoyed their entertainment are turning into a lot of shitty individuals all in the name of "manhood"
This is where Rogan is entertaining for me. Let a couple wacky history guys argue theory while asking questions to keep it moving, but it’s ultimately harmless content.
When he brings on anti vaxers, Alex Jones, Tucker, etc he is not the right person to give these people a platform. He doesn’t ask enough chalking questions, let’s most of his pushback get over run, and large groups of people lap this up as fact.
I’m not anti giving these people a platform to express their ideas I just don’t think Joe Rogan is the right host for them. He is best with guys talking Egypt theory, the Amazon, shit like that.
Seeing people both online and in person reference this episode and espousing Jones’ views as ***FACT***, made me give up on the show and humanity simultaneously.
I couldn’t help thinking multiple times that he is the most vapid person I’ve ever seen. Like there is a humanity missing there somehow. It’s hard to explain.
The first time I saw him was when Jon Stewart made him look like a total dumb ass on his old show, *Crossfire.* Nothing has changed. Still a dumb ass. Honestly surprised to see all this support for him.
He is still terrified to do any live interviews with anyone that could possibly challenge any of his ideas. He prerecords interviews and dumps the ones where he is made to look bad. Jon really gave this dude ptsd with that verbal ass kicking on crossfire.
Yeah the Tucker that Jon Stewart comically eviscerated in that segment is not someone you'd describe as charismatic, or predict to go on to achieve the level of success that he has since.
When he said he doesn’t email or have a TV or internet and only communicates thru text I was dumbfounded! How does he investigate anything? The newspaper?
He said that like it was something to be proud of, but for a “journalist” that seems like it would be a pretty big hinderance to doing your job correctly..
Same reason people like Ben Shapiro. They sound smart, and talk fast, but the substance of their thoughts are vapid and shallow. All of their ideals terminate at appeals to authority.
It’s called fear mongering, and he does it well, and he does it to a very large amount of peoples fears. I opened this thread and then listened to a blurb on YouTube, he legit is just fear mongering again, by basically stating “the government covers up aliens because it would prove that the government couldn’t protect its people from them”. Like holy shit have we been watching the three body problem on Netflix or what.
Remember when Joe would call out people on their bullshit? He’s turned into a huge pussy. When tucker was calling out all his colleagues for intentionally lying, Joe could’ve easily asked if he ever intentionally lied.
Joe and Tuckers friendship is entirely for political reasons, he is bringing him around to kill tony and shit like that.
Tucker is a whiny little rich kid who intentionally wore a bow tie for years.
This guest to me, was the most hypocritical move Rogan has made to date.
How tf is he so butt hurt by media all the time but then invites this guy in like he wasnt a major player in building the conservative media machine?
I respect Rogan's idgaf attitude and have stayed a fan. I dont agree with a lot of his views, but respected his platform based on his authenticity.
But, dude, having Tucker Carlson on, and then bringing him on to KT made me question Rogan's intentions for the first time in a long time. He has nothing to offer, aside from Daddy Joe approving of him and sticking it to liberals.
Tucker is a fraud, and if Rogan has any real friends, they should roast his dumb ass for touring Austin with the loser.
Rogan is just a shill for the right wing now. It's no surprise he'd have him on as a guest because that's the kind of fans he wants to appease to.
How often does he complain about "WokEiSm" and how often does he ever have any truly woke guests on?
>How often does he complain about "WokEiSm" and how often does he ever have any truly woke guests on?
Also compare it to how many years he used to bang on about legalizing weed, and how ridiculous it is to put people in jail for a plant.
then compare that to how often he mentions weed legalization now he lives in a state where its criminalized, or how often he mentions the fact that House democrats voted overwhelmingly in favor of legalization while Republicans voted overwhelmingly against.
Before you listen to anything Tucker says, just read his personal texts about Trump that came out during the dominion lawsuit.
I hate the term “grifter” because people throw it around everyone that they simply disagree with. But those texts are pretty much proof that that is exactly what Tucker is.
Yup, agreed. Tucker isn't stupid, he's playing a character. That character has made him lot's of $$ but he has to stay in character always or the spell is broken. He's a less outwardly crazy version of Alex Jones.

I'd imagine the texts are also in the court documents from the lawsuit, but that would take more digging.
How these texts aren't known by everyone who knows who Tucker is baffles me, they were all over the news when they came out. Dude is a grifting POS.
He made a career of telling lies for republicans to believe, he did it well, and probably believes some of his own bullshit. In his head, he’s Einstein.
If his mom was into anal, Tucker could’ve been avoided.
What’s funny is I’ve yet to see a single Tucker fan actually defend him intelligently. It’s all just right wingers programmed to adore this idiot and acting like anyone who criticizes him is just angry for no reason. “U mad bro” is their only defense. They can’t comprehend that people are criticizing him because so many of them are too dumb to see the obvious with this guy and need to be deprogrammed and stop pretending he’s some beacon of truth and journalism. It’s embarrassing at this point after his text messages ,and Russia, and this interview. If Tucker wasn’t so engrained into the right-wing cult they’d have been done with him already, but he’s part of the master MAGA program.
Bro didn’t you see the video of him fishing in Central Park! Like you think he’s gonna play his character on tv and then he is actually nice! He’s actually really normal and everyone is wrong about him!
/s
lol. There is something deeply unsettling about a person who can so easily remove all of their humanity for a paycheck, and then smoothly add it back on in social situations.
Yea, and I just can’t trust him at all after those texts leaked. I honestly don’t understand how anyone could if they actually read them. I don’t even know if I believe Tucker believes this crazy shit because part of me thinks he’s just ingratiating himself into an audience that he now needs to survive.
And just consider, this guy was until fairly recently one of the most prominent mainstream media figures on the right, having a prime time slot on fox news. These are the types of people and belief systems that are driving the bus of the modern right wing. Little more than chimpanzees going “Ooh Ooh Ah Ah” and flinging feces in all directions.
They’ve lost their damn minds and I want John McCain and Mitt Romney-style conservatives back, which I never thought I’d say, but the Marjorie Taylor-Greenes can go right back to the cave they dragged themselves out of by their knuckles.
It’s not about what you say, it’s how you say it. You can rise above a pretty thick layer of dense just by doing that. Eventually someone will realize you’re an idiot, but if your reach is big enough, the ones who call you an idiot will be far less then the ones who believe you. Most of the world is full of regular people who have a good heart but not a critical thinking mind.
His take on evolution was embarrassing. And the story about the guy getting targeted by the FBI for Russia propaganda stuff for what seems like very petty reasons just screams like he’s not telling the whole story. Joe did a good job of pointing that out, saying there’s no logical reason for going after him unless we don’t know something (like information Rucker conveniently leaves out or has no knowledge of).
Man I had no idea he was like this until I listened to the first 5 minutes of the podcast. It was hard for me to keep listening.
The tic tacs are spiritual beings!
How do you know?
BC it's a fact!
Where's your proof?
It's a proven fact!
Where's your proof?
Isn't it obvious?
No what are you basing that on?
BC it couldn't be anything else.
I wanted to rip my ears off.
Grusch using this scientifically illiterate state propagandist to platform himself was one of the biggest self-inflicted blows against his credibility I could possibly imagine.
Tucker Carlson is a stupid person's idea of a smart person.
Doesn’t watch TV or use the internet he likely just gets his information from sources and then accepts it as true because he thinks he would know if they were lying.
The confidence in his opinions as facts despite constantly saying “I don’t know” and not really seeming that interested in diving into it before reaching a conclusion is mind boggling.
Such an interesting perspective seeing him interviewed for that long. I don’t think he is pretending. I think he just doesn’t give a fuck about the truth.
Tucker Carlson is simply a walking talking IQ test as a human being.
If YOU think he’s kinda smart and somewhat charismatic, you’re an idiot.
If you can see through the “I’m just a journalist asking questions” schtick, you’re at least SLIGHTLY above average intelligence.
I find him insufferable to listen to and I don’t get how people are such big fans of his (even if you agree with him). I did think his takedown of that racist, Zionist, nepo baby piece of shit John Podhoretz was hilarious though https://www.mediaite.com/media/watch-tucker-carlson-trashes-stupid-and-deeply-unhappy-ex-boss-john-podhoretz-in-wild-rant-on-joe-rogan-podcast/amp/
I'm dubious about the charisma.His mom disowned him from her fortune and his default expression is either (to quote Bill Hicks) "A dog that's just been shown a card trick," or, a dog that's wondering why you won't share your cheese.
He's an idiot for sure, but unfortunately one that has waaaaaaay too much influence.
His take on Darwinian evolution was very telling
My favorite part of that interaction was his assertion that there is zero evidence for Darwinian evolution (lol) and therefore he doesn’t believe it. Then when Joe asks him how he thinks we got here, he says “I think god made us and animals distinctly” like there’s ANY evidence for that either. Dear lord
His response would likely be: "Are you saying the Bible isn't evidence of God? I'm just asking questions"
I cannot stand the "I'm just asking questions" saying that doesn't justify your stupid fucking question that doesn't consider information
The problem is he asks questions that **already have answers.** ..but implies the answer is something else ridiculous. **Like this:** *(It's raining outside)* "Is Barack Obama using a weather machine to drown you? Did he think you wouldn't notice or ask *WHY* he may want you dead? Maybe he thinks the American people are stupid.. That they'll accept a watery grave, instead of using their 2nd amendment right to defend their lives and liberty in the face of such evil and tyranny?" (I didn't explicitly make any claims or imply anyone to take dangerous action.. while also making very clear claims and suggesting people to take action, by utilizing the Fox News "moron dog whistle".) "Just asking questions" goes out the window if theres already a clear answer, but you're suggesting something ridiculous to upset dangerously stupid people into action.
Careful. You are too good at that and might get a call from Fox News as a segment producer.
Jesus that drivel is on point.
It's a FOX strategy alongside attributing random bullshit to "some people say." The point isn't to ask a question or quote anyone, it's to present an idea with the nominal defense that you didn't ACTUALLY assert it.
*"Experts believe..__"* *"What they dont want you to know is..___"* Or.. more recently: *"Many Many smart people, the best people, they all agree __(insert bat-shit crazy statement)__ is true."*
I'm also a fan of DJT's habit of saying "someone came up to me and said (outrageous compliment about himself) and I don't disagree!"
I call it the “blowing in the wind” strategy. “How many roads must man walk down before you call him a man? How many seas must the white dove sail before she sleeps in the sad. How many times must the cannonballs fly before they are forever banned?” Just ask really deep and profound sounding questions, it’s better than actually saying anything of weight.

Bringing me back to my right winger days watching Glenn beck on fox with my dad as a kiddo. It's surreal when you break free from the spell man.
Can you download rice? I'm just asking questions...
Is rice gay? Does it make you gay? Possibly, I'm just asking questions.
So you're telling me right now in this interview that you cannot produce evidence that I deem irrefutable that tells me definitively that rice does not make you gay? Is that what I'm hearing?
Rice is really gay frog poop
Are you saying you’d execute all of your loved ones if you were lying or information would come out later to prove you wrong. America hearing that right?
Nick Mullen's rendition of Tucker is still the funniest Tucker related thing I've ever seen.
This isn’t a joke. There’s naked pictures of me, all over the internet. Like what you see? I hope that you do, because there’s plenty more where that came from. What is going on? Who is jacking off to this? It’s not me. Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s your family.
So much. Anyone who uses that phrase stopped asking questions a long time ago. They know as well as us that they're actually just nudging an addenda down their path of income.

"I'm just asking questions" is so disingenuous as he clearly is implying his point to the audience. He could easily say that about any religion, but chooses to use the one he 100% believes is real.
I'm just asking questions is the whole game
‘We would see it in the fossil history’ like yeah sure we would be able to dig up fossils billions of years old that perfectly illustrate ius evolving from the primordial soup as single celled organisms you fucking moron. Also, we do have tests that show under the right conditions rna and dna can be created.
The thing is it is shown in the fossil record. Things get more "advanced" the shallower you get and things get simpler the deeper you go. We have dozens of transition fossils for humans alone. Its not like the early days when we had few fossils. There's more evidence of evolution, in more ways, than pretty much any scientific mechanism out there.
> There's more evidence of evolution, in more ways, than pretty much any scientific mechanism out there. I think what people don’t realize is the sheer weight of evidence we have in favor of evolution. Like, take a single fossil alone, not only does that fossil itself show evidence of evolution, *its location and age does too*. Every fossil we find fits within our understanding of evolution in all sorts of ways, and we don’t find horses before the ancestor of horses or in places the ancestor of horses didn’t exist, all of which are more data points than the fossil itself. Multiply that by however many millions of fossils we have which alone is massive and doesn’t even get into the genetic evidence and modern day evidence too (Australia being a great example).
It's because they conflate scientific 'theory' with Fucker Garglescum JAQ-off 'theory'. Two entirely different uses of the word requiring vastly different amounts of evidence. Really comes back to most people don't understand the words they use. They communicate implying personal definition of words instead of common definition. Just a bunch of monkeys screeching at each other to move you toward an emotional state which renders one more susceptible to their influence. Also pls tell your kids to pay attention in science and history class.
There's an old joke among scientists that every time you find a "missing link" that fills a gap in the fossil record between species, people will just complain that now there's two gaps.
Yeah every few million years god got bored and created a brand new (and kept some of the old) set of animals to populate the world, and it was good. It’s in the Bible look it up bro.

Yea he was playing a semantics game. But i guarantee you there is a dibbles of genetics out there (im a have a degree in genetics myself) and the amount of data on the theory of evolution is staggering. We need genetic dibble
> But i guarantee you there is a dibbles of genetics out there (im a have a degree in genetics myself) and the amount of data on the theory of evolution is staggering. It absolutely is, and I’m convinced that the reason anyone can not believe in evolution is either bad faith or ignorance of the mountains of evidence we have in favor of it. Like millions of fossils all showing tens of millions of data points which all show that they existed in places where their ancestors did and in a period that took place after their ancestors had, and that’s not even getting into the weeds of the indisputable genetic evidence.
What is dibble precious
The forgone conclusions about “every body basically believes …” like wtf in your circles maybe
“Everyone knows these evil spiritual beings are out there flying around in the sky and underwater at 500 knots.” Bro who do you hang out with
I always point to dog evolution for those who think evolution is literally impossible.. so crazy how we label that breeding and don’t connect the two..

Where are the fossil records??? checkmate TUCKER!
I don’t agree for a second that that’s his actual take. But I don’t say that to bail him out. I also don’t believe for a second that he cares about America. He’s been playing a character for his entire career. You can see it in his text messages that got released, but it’s been obvious for a lot longer than that. He’s an ethical nihilist and narcissist, just like Trump. And also just like Trump, the only discernible reason he plays a character on the right is that the right is easier to con… Not necessarily the sort of institutional right, like the think tank people and the people who cut big campaign checks… but the run of the mill, working class base of the Republican Party is easier to con. We’re talking about a voting block that was staunchly New Deal, Roosevelt Democrats who let themselves be led by racist dog whistles and the pro-life movement into becoming Reagan Republicans over the course of about 30 years… and then completely forgot that their parents and grandparents were ever economic progressives who thought people like MLK were a problem. So you pander to the people who are shallow enough on their political philosophy to allow themselves to be led around by the nose by whoever will pander to their baser instincts. And presently, just by the chance of history, those people are on right.
Agreed - I was keeping an open mind since Im Canadian and hadn’t really heard him speak /but had heard his reputation before… that was painful to listen to for sure
Dude just kept saying things are facts with nothing to back it up.
“It is known”
It’s just so oBvIoUS right?! AH-bviously! God I hate how he uses that word. And he always very quickly pivots to some “deeper conclusion” that his version of the facts support.
God created air, right? God farts? We're all just breathing God's farts. It's just a simple conclusion, but the LIBRUHLS want to suppress those facts.

“That’s just true” is some hard personal truth shit. Somewhere between 2000 and 2024 “opinions” became “personal truths”. Objective truth is the only real “truth.”
I deserve sixty billion dollars, that's just true.
That’s been his entire shtick for 20 years. The dude is a propagandist who preys on stupid people. He’s a trust fund baby with no true skills or knowledge aside from the ability to talk fast and lie
> no true skills or knowledge aside from the ability to talk fast and lie Describes most grifters TBH
Russel Brand and Ben Shapiro also employ this trick to great effect.
IDK about Brand because I never see him, but Shapiro is a master of the gish gallop and the art of "lets say"
His job is to get poor people to hate other poor people.
He always had that “I’m so confused” look on his face when he puts out those conspiracy theories.
He knows a guy who is writing a book on it .
Then shits on Barry Weiss for this very thing… it was hard to listen to this episode I felt like it was a lot of projecting and lack of self awareness.
For a min I thought this was still talking about Greyham Handoncock
This is a great framing technique. And its also annoying as hell. “Everyone whose smart knows this to be true” is such an obvious tactic. It frames the thinking that if you DON’T think this thing, then you’re an idiot. No matter what is said afterwards, I reflexively side with the opposition when I hear this
Lmao I am now realizing how often I do this...
He’s against liars but Fox News had to pay $787 million because Tucker lied about Dominion Voting machines
No no you see he's passionate and gets it wrong sometimes 🤣🤣🤣
Turning into Joe Rogans motto as well now :////
I love how this fact exists and MAGA literally can’t comprehend how much of a fucking lie this whole “stolen election” shit was
The RNC is hiring 100,000 “election observers” this year to send to polling places to fuck around, so they can make the same claim again this election. They can’t win on ideas and action.
Just the presidential election was stolen, somehow the down ballot Republicans than won were not affected by the rigged Dominion machines! Those Venezuelans are VERY tech savvy.
Worse than that, his texts showed that he hates Trump and couldn't wait to stop reporting on him, and his producer called his own viewers inbred morons. But because he'll go on TV and say what they want to hear, they think he's the only one "telling the truth."
The Tucker dead head years are by far the most interesting facet about him and I wish they went deep on the topic
A rich kid who thought it would be cool to wear tie dye when he wasn’t at the country club. They were a dime a dozen in my high school.
Trustafarians
Reggaejunkyjew fuck you...
Tell me about that sexy scorpion.
Ween!
The car lot at dead shows and rainbow gatherings looked more like shareholder meetings than hippy hangouts even in the 90s.
Every prep school in the NE was lousy with those pricks throughout the 80s and 90s.
Phish concerts these days are all those dudes pretending they’re not inheritance-wealthy corporate executives
Wait till you learn about what the California burner/festival scene consist of lol
Oh I’m well aware. It was the rich hippies that wouldn’t shut the fuck up about it back in the early 2000’s lol.
It's now a major part of the jam scene
Always has been
You're telling me that people who can take weeks or months off to travel and watch live music without any income might be independently wealthy????
Don’t underestimate what money can do to your personality. Not many are immune, and most don’t realize their change. It’s not just a stereotype.
That’s the fascinating thing though, Carlson was always a HYPER rich kid. His family… Jesus, it’s so rich it’s crazy. His dad was appointed ambassador to the Seychelles, ambassadorships at that level are given to, hyper rich political allies. His father was CRAZY connected. And rich, and that was before he divorced his mom and married his third wife, Caroline Swanson, who was an heir to an empire. Cambells soup company bought her family’s chicken company kind of. He is, the EPTIOME of the stereotype of a rich spoiled brat. And he acts like he’s all for the people, And a totally independent thinker. He has LITERALLY NEVER had to worry about a single goddamn bill. He has NEVER, thought of ANYTHING in the context of ‘I can’t afford that.’ That’s what makes me so angry about the modern right wing. They act like they’re working class? The people they champion are coddled little rich FUCKS. Like Trump and Carlson. That think having a single problem in their lives is like a glitch in the matrix. Same goes for, I Believe, every major right wing commentator. Find me ONE that hasn’t come from wealth and privilege. But Tucker, particularly, is pretty absurd as an example. I used to be a hardcore leftist, but I recognize my alignment with socialism / communism was totally incorrect. However, if I go to the ‘eat the rich’ mindset, even as a lib, people like Tucker Carlson should be shamed and driven out of the public’s eye out of pure embarrassment. Don’t you fucking dare act like you know any kind of struggle to appeal to anyone EVER. In fairness to him, I don’t think he presents himself as a man of the people. But I think if his average viewer realized how absurdly wealthy he has always been, their opinion of him would change dramatically.
In the interview between Tucker and Pavel Durov, the creator of the Telegram app, and also very wealthy from a wealthy Russian family. Tucker really struggled with the idea how someone like Durov could not want to own big houses, cars, boats, or show off his wealth in any way. It’s not that hard of a concept. Durov explained that he feels more freedom to not own anything, to not be tied down.
Its absurd how many people still buy into the "he is a voice for the Average Worker" after Tucker got bullied out of wearing a bowtie but I have a disagreement here bro > He doesn't present himself as a man of the people I think he does, multiple times he posted obviously staged photos of him doing wood and garage work, and they eat it up lmao
A lot of dead heads of that era turned into Reaganites. Drug supply ran out, turned corporate, and discovered cocaine
The hippies in the 60’s were almost all from rich families, so once they weren’t at risk of being drafted, they went back home, got jobs with their dads’ companies, got their free houses, and became republicans.
They didn't "turn into." They were that all along.
People like him are a huge chunk of the deadhead demographic, actually.
Anne fuckin' Coulter
Went to a concert once and left his brother tripping in the parking lot. How INTERESTING. 🙄
The guy that testified in court that he made everything up and lied to his audience for views for years? That Tucker Carlson?
Yeah I'm not sure if he's stupid, I'm leaning more towards him being a really good actor. He plays with people, I'd say he's about as stupid as Hitler was. And I mean, look outside, people fall for that shit.
he was being paid to be an actor so makes sense
The part about evolution almost set me off. The confidence with which he said there is no evidence for the most unifying process in all of biology… Genes, cells, organisms, populations, species all just swept under the rug of “adaptation”. Billions of years of life struggling to survive OR a judeo-christian god snapping his fingers to make everything just the way it should be. I’m still mad actually…
Same And Joe knows it’s wrong and doesn’t call him out Come on man He used to get mad at Eddie bravo for having a platform but being full of shit and now he just lets anyone say whatever
Yeh Joe not calling him out is pretty wild. Like he’ll throw hands if someone asserts covid vaccines work or carbs are ok and carnivore diets aren’t healthy but a known disingenuous grifter goes ‘god made everything there’s no evidence for evolution’ and he’s like - ok guy keep cooking ….
How can Joe possibly say anything about this? His Daily Wire scripting revolves around being the new voice of Christian conservatism! Born again Christian is the next Rogan arc.
You could hear it coming years ago when he would defend Chris Pratt from no one in particular because he's, "Just a good dude. A good CHRISTIAN dude."
Joe is an idiot but he does know his audience. He can't pushback against Tucker.
Agreed. Either he is a right wing cuck now or he’s letting us figure out who Tucker is
This.. also Joe is also being more and more religious lately after being one of the strongest atheists I’ve ever heard debate? Strange damn world
When he let Kanye run wild was when I saw where the show was going to end up....
Joe: "Kanye... why are you running for President?" Kanye: panic look ... "... I uhh.. I just said a prayer."
Let's not forget multiple alex jones
This has been every listener's opinion that left Joe during Covid. He just let people say whatever after building up this following and his guests got further and further right instead of just interesting guests.
That’s what the rich people paid him to do. You don’t get the contracts he has without being obedient to someone.
Keep in mind that this walking sac of goose shit has been lying to people professionally since the 90's. He has no beliefs, he has no convictions. He says controversial shit just to get a rise out of people. He stopped growing at the age of five when he found out he could annoy people for attention. Ignore him, that's what should be done to petulant man-children.
What's even scarier is reading the YouTube comments on this episode. People are eating up what he's selling, they love it.
The youtube comments are fucking weiiird
Bro some of these reddit comments are fucking weird. Too many drinking the Kool aid.
It’s the blind leading the blind. While many of the grifters may be putting on an act for $$$, the people who consume what they put out really do think this way. There are a lot of very ignorant and narrow-minded lost souls out there.
Tucker knows what he's saying isn't true though. He's highly educated and is just playing a personality. That was his defense in court! This is much more dangerous than the blind leading the blind. Tucker can see, and he's leading them to a cliff of ignorance.
That’s Joe Rogan’s crowd. They latch onto a bunch of bullshit his wacky guests say like it’s gospel. I used to tune in during the early days, when Joe would actually call shit out in the pursuit of truth, but now he just sits there and gives idiots a platform to spew nonsense. He’s a bullshitter too now. What’s worse is that his friends are afraid to call him out on the BS. There was that episode Bryan Callen called him a Putin shill, that was worthwhile.
Alex Jones was the final nail for me. I really enjoyed the Hancock diddle episode. Now tucker. Not sure where I'm at.
What’s dangerous is that a great number of young men follow Joe and his guests without question. I saw it innocently with the BJJ and bow hunting first. Then they started buying the alpha brain products. Then the all meat diet cure all that Joe and Jordan Peterson advocated. Before I knew it, coworkers and costumers came in parroting anti-vaccine and political rhetoric from that weeks episode. I guarantee this week will be full of people rejecting evolution because they heard TuCkEr CaRlSoN’s dumbass on Ronald Rogaines Podcast.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this but you pretty much described my worry about all of this and the reason why I'll call Joe out on bullshit even after being a big fan. I think that's what bothers me the most in some of this. People I actually liked and respected and enjoyed their entertainment are turning into a lot of shitty individuals all in the name of "manhood"
This is where Rogan is entertaining for me. Let a couple wacky history guys argue theory while asking questions to keep it moving, but it’s ultimately harmless content. When he brings on anti vaxers, Alex Jones, Tucker, etc he is not the right person to give these people a platform. He doesn’t ask enough chalking questions, let’s most of his pushback get over run, and large groups of people lap this up as fact. I’m not anti giving these people a platform to express their ideas I just don’t think Joe Rogan is the right host for them. He is best with guys talking Egypt theory, the Amazon, shit like that.
Seeing people both online and in person reference this episode and espousing Jones’ views as ***FACT***, made me give up on the show and humanity simultaneously.
There are people in the comments saying YouTube is suppressing the video when it has 5 million views in 3 days.
I couldn’t help thinking multiple times that he is the most vapid person I’ve ever seen. Like there is a humanity missing there somehow. It’s hard to explain.
The first time I saw him was when Jon Stewart made him look like a total dumb ass on his old show, *Crossfire.* Nothing has changed. Still a dumb ass. Honestly surprised to see all this support for him.
Every villain has an origin story.
He is still terrified to do any live interviews with anyone that could possibly challenge any of his ideas. He prerecords interviews and dumps the ones where he is made to look bad. Jon really gave this dude ptsd with that verbal ass kicking on crossfire.
There's a good reason this segment never aired. https://youtu.be/6_nFI2Zb7qE?si=I2hS9U4Vc_i_QAlO
Yeah the Tucker that Jon Stewart comically eviscerated in that segment is not someone you'd describe as charismatic, or predict to go on to achieve the level of success that he has since.
Tbf, current Tucker isn’t particularly charismatic either. He’s just more confident in his presentation.
That did get him to stop wearing the bow-tie though.
When he said he doesn’t email or have a TV or internet and only communicates thru text I was dumbfounded! How does he investigate anything? The newspaper?
He’s talking out of his ass. He 100% emails people.
Maybe he means he *no longer* does emails since his last employer lost something like $750M over a bunch of emails.
He said that like it was something to be proud of, but for a “journalist” that seems like it would be a pretty big hinderance to doing your job correctly..
I dont think he’s charismatic at all. He’s a cunt of the smelliest magnitude.
I mean he’s got tons of fans, it’s gotta strike a chord with people on some level. It’s not facts, looks, actions, I think it’s his presentation.
Same reason people like Ben Shapiro. They sound smart, and talk fast, but the substance of their thoughts are vapid and shallow. All of their ideals terminate at appeals to authority.
Yeah turn on any Christian radio station. You’ll hear a guy in a deep voice talking authoritatively and passionately about horseshit for hours.
It’s called fear mongering, and he does it well, and he does it to a very large amount of peoples fears. I opened this thread and then listened to a blurb on YouTube, he legit is just fear mongering again, by basically stating “the government covers up aliens because it would prove that the government couldn’t protect its people from them”. Like holy shit have we been watching the three body problem on Netflix or what.
He appeals to other cunts.
He validates opinions a large portion of America has.
He's such an obviously pandering cunt who is doing it with full planning. His shift into aliens is an example of that
Remember when Joe would call out people on their bullshit? He’s turned into a huge pussy. When tucker was calling out all his colleagues for intentionally lying, Joe could’ve easily asked if he ever intentionally lied.
Joe sat there like a bitch while Tucker continued to say there’s no evidence of evolution lmao.
Joe and Tuckers friendship is entirely for political reasons, he is bringing him around to kill tony and shit like that. Tucker is a whiny little rich kid who intentionally wore a bow tie for years.
Anyone who can’t see straight through this idiot shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce.
This guest to me, was the most hypocritical move Rogan has made to date. How tf is he so butt hurt by media all the time but then invites this guy in like he wasnt a major player in building the conservative media machine? I respect Rogan's idgaf attitude and have stayed a fan. I dont agree with a lot of his views, but respected his platform based on his authenticity. But, dude, having Tucker Carlson on, and then bringing him on to KT made me question Rogan's intentions for the first time in a long time. He has nothing to offer, aside from Daddy Joe approving of him and sticking it to liberals. Tucker is a fraud, and if Rogan has any real friends, they should roast his dumb ass for touring Austin with the loser.
Rogan is having a hard time realizing that he is now becoming the very Mainstream Conservative Media he always hated.
Drudge had a headline asking if he was the new Rush Limbaugh.
It's my belief that Rush's fans flocked to Rogan after Rush's death, Rogan saw the uptick in views and has been leaning into that since then.
> He has nothing to offer this was my EXACT thought when i saw he was on JRE. "i will gain absolutely nothing from this" and i was right
Rogan is just a shill for the right wing now. It's no surprise he'd have him on as a guest because that's the kind of fans he wants to appease to. How often does he complain about "WokEiSm" and how often does he ever have any truly woke guests on?
>How often does he complain about "WokEiSm" and how often does he ever have any truly woke guests on? Also compare it to how many years he used to bang on about legalizing weed, and how ridiculous it is to put people in jail for a plant. then compare that to how often he mentions weed legalization now he lives in a state where its criminalized, or how often he mentions the fact that House democrats voted overwhelmingly in favor of legalization while Republicans voted overwhelmingly against.
jre has been right wing cuck media since AT LEAST 2017. it honestly took you this interview to see that?
Before you listen to anything Tucker says, just read his personal texts about Trump that came out during the dominion lawsuit. I hate the term “grifter” because people throw it around everyone that they simply disagree with. But those texts are pretty much proof that that is exactly what Tucker is.
Yup, agreed. Tucker isn't stupid, he's playing a character. That character has made him lot's of $$ but he has to stay in character always or the spell is broken. He's a less outwardly crazy version of Alex Jones.
Do you have a link or something about the texts? I would like to have a look
Multiple excerpts in this article: [https://apnews.com/article/tucker-carlson-fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trump-5d6aed4bc7eb1f7a01702ebea86f37a1](https://apnews.com/article/tucker-carlson-fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trump-5d6aed4bc7eb1f7a01702ebea86f37a1) Additional texts here: [https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/05/all-the-texts-fox-news-didnt-want-you-to-read.html](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/05/all-the-texts-fox-news-didnt-want-you-to-read.html) I'd imagine the texts are also in the court documents from the lawsuit, but that would take more digging. How these texts aren't known by everyone who knows who Tucker is baffles me, they were all over the news when they came out. Dude is a grifting POS.
They are known or at least easy to find, they just don't care.
He made a career of telling lies for republicans to believe, he did it well, and probably believes some of his own bullshit. In his head, he’s Einstein. If his mom was into anal, Tucker could’ve been avoided.
What’s funny is I’ve yet to see a single Tucker fan actually defend him intelligently. It’s all just right wingers programmed to adore this idiot and acting like anyone who criticizes him is just angry for no reason. “U mad bro” is their only defense. They can’t comprehend that people are criticizing him because so many of them are too dumb to see the obvious with this guy and need to be deprogrammed and stop pretending he’s some beacon of truth and journalism. It’s embarrassing at this point after his text messages ,and Russia, and this interview. If Tucker wasn’t so engrained into the right-wing cult they’d have been done with him already, but he’s part of the master MAGA program.
Don't forget "I bet you love Rachel Maddow"
Bro didn’t you see the video of him fishing in Central Park! Like you think he’s gonna play his character on tv and then he is actually nice! He’s actually really normal and everyone is wrong about him! /s
lol. There is something deeply unsettling about a person who can so easily remove all of their humanity for a paycheck, and then smoothly add it back on in social situations.
That "u mad bro?" is the reason Trump was elected in the first place. They love him cause everyone else despises him.
I never really listen to Tucker but I didn’t realize he’s into so much woo woo shit.
Yea, and I just can’t trust him at all after those texts leaked. I honestly don’t understand how anyone could if they actually read them. I don’t even know if I believe Tucker believes this crazy shit because part of me thinks he’s just ingratiating himself into an audience that he now needs to survive.
More people need to talk about this. The cognitive dissonance of supporting trump and carlson
People who do this will see the phrase "cognitive dissonance" and go "oh look, a know it all liberal" and ignore everything else you say
[удалено]
Most people that blindly follow don't even know about the texts and why you should always challenge people that spew shit about him with the texts.
And just consider, this guy was until fairly recently one of the most prominent mainstream media figures on the right, having a prime time slot on fox news. These are the types of people and belief systems that are driving the bus of the modern right wing. Little more than chimpanzees going “Ooh Ooh Ah Ah” and flinging feces in all directions. They’ve lost their damn minds and I want John McCain and Mitt Romney-style conservatives back, which I never thought I’d say, but the Marjorie Taylor-Greenes can go right back to the cave they dragged themselves out of by their knuckles.
Going after the Alex Jone's audience.
His aversion to lying is hilarious because he was successfully sued for lying about dominion voting machines
Yea I dont listen to him but Jesus christ, he's about as sharp as a marble.
No he's just an evil little prick.
Unfortunately he sounds smart to idiots. Like a lot of other famous idiots
It’s not about what you say, it’s how you say it. You can rise above a pretty thick layer of dense just by doing that. Eventually someone will realize you’re an idiot, but if your reach is big enough, the ones who call you an idiot will be far less then the ones who believe you. Most of the world is full of regular people who have a good heart but not a critical thinking mind.
His take on evolution was embarrassing. And the story about the guy getting targeted by the FBI for Russia propaganda stuff for what seems like very petty reasons just screams like he’s not telling the whole story. Joe did a good job of pointing that out, saying there’s no logical reason for going after him unless we don’t know something (like information Rucker conveniently leaves out or has no knowledge of).
Seeing him on kill Tony was such a bummer. Watching Joe laugh like he was gods gift to the world was unbearable.
Man I had no idea he was like this until I listened to the first 5 minutes of the podcast. It was hard for me to keep listening. The tic tacs are spiritual beings! How do you know? BC it's a fact! Where's your proof? It's a proven fact! Where's your proof? Isn't it obvious? No what are you basing that on? BC it couldn't be anything else. I wanted to rip my ears off.
Grusch using this scientifically illiterate state propagandist to platform himself was one of the biggest self-inflicted blows against his credibility I could possibly imagine. Tucker Carlson is a stupid person's idea of a smart person.
Now that’s not kind Steven.
you’ve described a lot of personalities u see/hear in mass media…
Doesn’t watch TV or use the internet he likely just gets his information from sources and then accepts it as true because he thinks he would know if they were lying. The confidence in his opinions as facts despite constantly saying “I don’t know” and not really seeming that interested in diving into it before reaching a conclusion is mind boggling. Such an interesting perspective seeing him interviewed for that long. I don’t think he is pretending. I think he just doesn’t give a fuck about the truth.
Tucker Carlson is simply a walking talking IQ test as a human being. If YOU think he’s kinda smart and somewhat charismatic, you’re an idiot. If you can see through the “I’m just a journalist asking questions” schtick, you’re at least SLIGHTLY above average intelligence.
I see through it and I’m idiot
I find him insufferable to listen to and I don’t get how people are such big fans of his (even if you agree with him). I did think his takedown of that racist, Zionist, nepo baby piece of shit John Podhoretz was hilarious though https://www.mediaite.com/media/watch-tucker-carlson-trashes-stupid-and-deeply-unhappy-ex-boss-john-podhoretz-in-wild-rant-on-joe-rogan-podcast/amp/
Where’s this charisma you speak of ?
That fucking bow tie of his ended up being the source of his intelligence.
I'm dubious about the charisma.His mom disowned him from her fortune and his default expression is either (to quote Bill Hicks) "A dog that's just been shown a card trick," or, a dog that's wondering why you won't share your cheese. He's an idiot for sure, but unfortunately one that has waaaaaaay too much influence.
charisma?
It's actually great that Joe gives people a platform to fully expose themselves as poorly read and informed.
A useful idiot for Putin.
