The Tucker Carlson Show

00:00:00.000 if you don't pay close attention to joe biden you're probably content to dismiss him as just

00:00:14.920 a senile old fool who's exiting the stage at high speed but if you actually listen to him if you

00:00:22.480 watch what joe biden says it dawns on you actually this man is evil actually evil listen to what he

00:00:29.020 says is dishonest it's vicious it's cruel to his fellow americans he's a bad person and he's the

00:00:36.540 president of the united states and yet no one seems to say that out loud or even notice instead our

00:00:41.320 moral superiors our overlords are very exercised about well some people you've probably not even

00:00:48.980 heard of people on the internet who are saying true things and one of the people who makes the maddest

00:00:54.120 is a guy really an account called cat turd yes that's the name one word on x formerly twitter

00:01:01.380 cat turd has millions of followers and is remarkably remarkably controversial for a person whose name

00:01:09.900 has never been spoken in public he actually got into a fight with adam kinzinger no less than adam

00:01:15.320 kinzinger speaking of evil here's in case you've forgotten it here's what it looked like kinzinger

00:01:20.820 made that clear the other day when he responded personally to a twitter account called cat turd

00:01:26.180 because when you're one of washington's leading authorities on foreign policy you spend a lot of

00:01:29.540 time on twitter reading accounts with names like cat turd so the other day cat turd made the mistake of

00:01:34.420 posting a meme that seemed to mock the colors of the ukrainian flag colors that are sacred to adam kinzinger

00:01:40.340 and every other empathetic soccer mom in the mid-40s you could imagine how offensive that was it was like

00:01:46.100 telling an off-color joke about megan markle it could not stand and so alone and battling debilitating

00:01:52.900 hot flashes in his kitchen fighting the urge to open yet another bag of chips ahoy adam kinzinger fought

00:01:57.860 back literal evil he wrote in a late night response to cat turd if i met you in person it would not end well

00:02:06.100 for you sicko hear that cat turd it will not end well for you that's not a pillow fight adam kinzinger is

00:02:16.420 talking about that's a full-on slap fight with hair pulling this is real you'd better apologize

00:02:23.300 our heart goes out to cat turd tonight he's probably cowering in a litter box somewhere waiting for adam

00:02:27.060 kinzinger to show up with sharpened nails so cat turd enraged adam kinzinger and it's also been noticed on

00:02:35.860 late night comedy shows watch and things seem to hit a new low last night as he retweeted

00:02:42.180 three times an account called cat turd

00:02:50.740 now to be fair the cat is wearing glasses so it must be smart the actual twitter handle for the

00:02:58.260 account is cat turd two and i for one cannot wait to see what's in store from cat turd three

00:03:07.220 cat turd sounds like someone joe biden would have brought up in a speech during the primaries

00:03:12.420 oh when i was growing up in scranton there was a real mean son of a gun we used to call him cat turd

00:03:17.860 he could do up and be bop like nobody's business what was i talking about oh yeah climate change

00:03:23.460 well there's a reason nobody watches late night comedy shows anymore but still cat turd seems to

00:03:29.940 offend people why is that who is this man who's cat turd one well we found him he's a man he's from

00:03:37.060 the south that's all we know he wants to keep his name private because he doesn't want his life any

00:03:41.460 more disrupted than it already has been but he is joining us anyway in physical form catcher it's great

00:03:45.860 to see you how you doing so you've made it tucker so many questions so many questions so um i actually

00:03:53.460 don't know your real name just for the record okay um what year did you graduate from yale um yeah i

00:04:00.580 graduated yale i think 1984. no seriously i'm guessing you didn't go to yale and i mean that i went to

00:04:07.140 harvard after you went to harvard well i remember you so well there um where you like what what was your

00:04:14.020 preparation for being captured like tell us your life trajectory who are you without revealing your

00:04:18.260 name well i'm from northwest florida i mean georgia same thing yeah well i live in northwest florida

00:04:25.780 now but so i uh i graduated high school kind of early at 17 joined the army um i was telling you

00:04:32.740 earlier i spent my 18th birthday in a foxhole in fort dix new jersey in basic training back when it

00:04:39.780 really was basic training um and then um i i got injured when i was over in bad kissigan germany and

00:04:47.780 we were on alert and i hurt my back real bad and had surgery oh and that was pretty much the end of

00:04:52.100 my army career i was a medevac back to fort gordon georgia had back surgery i actually tried to stay in

00:04:58.740 but um they wouldn't let me yeah i mean it's been something i've had to deal with my whole life so they

00:05:04.820 wrecked your body and then kicked you out yeah pretty good okay you know it was an honorable

00:05:09.060 medical discharge but yeah and so um after that um i hitchhiked to panama city and i've pretty much

00:05:16.900 been in in the panhandle ever since you know i'm 59 years old um i spent you know just like most people

00:05:26.180 i was i'm different than most of the influencers that do all the right things have the kids wear the

00:05:32.580 suit and ties i pretty much was um screwed up until i was about 40 45 years old i had a couple of failed

00:05:40.100 marriages uh followed by uh i was just i was a professional musician for a year i was a hippie

00:05:46.260 i had long hair and a beard and and smoked weed and had a vw van and wore really dyed shirts i did

00:05:53.460 i did i was a real hippie um i uh went from job to job partied a lot here there yeah i partied a lot

00:06:00.260 i had i had my my stint with drugs and alcohol and you know i don't know why everybody's scared

00:06:05.220 to admit you know everybody paints i'm not big famous picture you know this big picture of how

00:06:10.900 you know in the world that we live in today it's just like i just i've always been honest with my

00:06:15.780 followers and on my podcast um i don't trust people who don't know how weak they are yeah i know yeah and

00:06:23.140 so i um kind of aimlessly went through my life and uh um then i finally ended up you know working

00:06:30.180 a good fiber optics job for years um at 54 years old which was five years ago i'd never been on social

00:06:38.420 media i didn't know anything about social media i didn't even know how it worked i had no friends

00:06:42.340 on social media and i just decided to i got arthritis in my fingers i couldn't play guitar anymore and i was

00:06:49.300 just like you know what i'm gonna do i'm just gonna get on twitter and i just you know saw the cat

00:06:55.540 just said cat turd i never thought i'd have 100 followers you know who would think that it's just

00:07:01.060 like it's like homer simpson now it's way beyond me you know they're doing uh wait if i could just ask

00:07:07.220 you pause what was the moment when you decided to make that your numb to gear i just was like uh

00:07:14.340 uh surfing through the web and i saw that cat picture and it just cat turd it was that simple

00:07:20.180 i mean who you know i didn't think anybody was ever going to follow me i remember asking people

00:07:23.700 for weeks how do i post a picture on here and so i don't even know how it took off it just got legs

00:07:29.460 somehow and it just took off so but why did you do it why did i do what why did you go online and start

00:07:36.260 giving your opinions i don't know well i've always been um as a professional musician um in in the 90s

00:07:44.340 um you you know you have to be good at construction yeah construction yeah because you got to make

00:07:50.980 money yeah no you're not gonna make it i'm a little slow i miss that so you better learn to build stuff

00:07:57.060 so you know me and my band guys we were we were builders you know we built decks roost built up

00:08:01.780 built a house whatever and so in the 90s uh you're bored and you know we played music at night we don't

00:08:08.660 want to listen to music so i started listening to rush limbaugh really so every day we'd listen to

00:08:13.380 rush limbaugh where we're building houses whatever you and every construction crew in america yeah

00:08:18.260 and it just it's just like this is i didn't even know i was a hippie i thought i was a liberal i

00:08:23.060 didn't know what i was still and i was like this guy's saying everything i believe and um it was um

00:08:31.380 it was you know i listened to him to the day he died really yeah i'm total rush baby and it was just

00:08:38.900 like this guy's talking exactly what i think and i never even knew what i was until you know i i

00:08:45.940 started listening to him but that's how i got in and i was just a political junkie from the first time

00:08:50.580 i heard him and it's just been like that ever since so i got on you know twitter now x and just

00:08:57.700 started posting and man what a five years that's unbelievable it is i mean but but why did you do that

00:09:06.180 i mean a lot of people have political opinions but they don't imagine that other people want to

00:09:10.420 read them or they don't feel compelled to share them with the world on a social media app i don't

00:09:15.300 know why it caught fire um but why did you want to do it because you were frustrated yeah i guess so

00:09:20.180 i just you know i think as artistic um although i didn't play on stage a lot in the last uh years

00:09:26.740 i would always go to my room and i wrote a lot of music i actually wrote my best stuff then

00:09:30.420 and it was just i need that artistic outlet yes and when i lost that i was really kind of

00:09:36.340 depressed because i'd lost my fingers it's like overnight they started swelling up i got arthritis

00:09:40.980 from playing guitar and using power tools my whole life and um i was just like i just need to do

00:09:47.700 something and so i just got on social media it's just it's just the spur of the moment it was my birthday

00:09:54.580 it was like two days after my birthday i said i'm gonna join twitter and i was asking people i was

00:09:58.900 calling people how do you join twitter how do you do a picture is there a membership committee what's

00:10:03.700 the rules so when at what point did it i can't remember the first time i saw it but um at what

00:10:12.500 point did you realize it was working i don't know i remember after two or three months i was i was

00:10:19.380 working on a job in miami and i told one of my friends that was that was rooming with me at the time

00:10:25.220 we were working there i said man this thing's really taking off and he thought i was crazy

00:10:29.620 he said what and i said this cat turd thing and he's just he thought i was nuts because you know

00:10:33.780 everybody did i was trying to tell everybody this thing's really taking off and everybody just like

00:10:37.860 whatever you know here's the shovel start get the rocks over there in that hole and it just it just

00:10:45.300 caught fire i don't know how i don't know how it did and it just keeps going wow i mean so you're

00:10:51.940 you're in miami rooming with another guy that you're working with yeah on some kind of job yeah

00:10:58.660 yeah fiber optics job i did fiber optic construction for years after i got uh finished you know with my

00:11:03.860 music career and like at the point that adam kinzinger starts replying to you and threatening your life

00:11:12.020 oh yeah by the way that would be quite a slap fight do you feel confident i don't know you know it's

00:11:17.380 it's um he's scary you know i want to see eye to eye with him so i'm gonna go get a home depot

00:11:23.540 five gallon bucket and stand on it but when adam kinzinger himself oh yeah he's got a you know he's

00:11:32.500 got ukraine to defend oh yeah he's super busy um he cares transitioning or whatever he's doing um when

00:11:39.220 he takes time to attack you and threaten to beat you up or scratch you yeah like and that wasn't my meme i

00:11:45.780 just said i think i said i shouldn't be laughing at this but it's funny yeah and then um and then

00:11:51.700 it made it worse you know once he does that that he he don't understand how the internet works now

00:11:55.540 they got his face on it yeah you know what i mean now now all the time you see that meme it's his face

00:11:59.860 on it now well how do you understand how the internet works i don't know i just somehow do

00:12:06.100 interesting yeah so what has it done to your life well it's totally changed my life um you know

00:12:13.860 financially i started selling merch and then i got a podcast you know we got uh jules and i have a

00:12:21.380 co-host jules uh jones our podcast is called in the litter box you know we got to deal with rumble

00:12:27.780 which we love we love rumble and um and then you know fast forward to these ad shares which are crazy

00:12:35.620 you know with elon musk i mean it's big money and um i bought a new truck a couple of weeks ago i

00:12:43.940 never had a new vehicle with my wife you know and to be able to do something like that for me i mean

00:12:50.180 i think a lot of people i know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck for most of my life i know

00:12:55.780 what it's like to look like a tea bag you know at the end of the work day and be so sore i know what

00:13:00.260 it's like to choose from your rent and food i know what it's like to um ride around on four different

00:13:05.780 tires you know one's got three plugs one's got five plugs one's got 13 plugs in it you know we call

00:13:12.420 them baloney skins no tread so i think i think a lot of people just um i'm kind of like the rudy of

00:13:21.220 twitter i probably don't deserve to be there but i i've worked hard enough to maybe get that one play

00:13:25.700 at the end at the end of the game it's the most american story ever it really is nuts it really is

00:13:33.140 nuts there's i don't think there's a lot of people like my situation because like i said most of the

00:13:39.540 influencers are i mean they just they've they and and they did the right thing not me i did the wrong

00:13:46.420 thing they did the right thing they've got great wives and kids and and uh you know they've made a lot

00:13:51.860 of money they've got you know parents that are successful and they went to college for sure and

00:13:56.740 and i'm just a working class stiff that well that's the ruling class of the country yeah and i'm from it

00:14:01.460 so i know i know yeah um so it's pretty amazing to see this happen to you it is and so how much of

00:17:48.740 people follow the puppies they're called puppy turds

00:17:53.700 uh why do you adopt so many animals i just i mean when you see a dog starving what are you going to do

00:18:01.060 and then i try to tell myself i'm gonna re-home some of these um and then you spend so much time

00:18:06.660 with them trying to just like get them fed yeah they're so the ones i i find they're so almost dead

00:18:14.260 starving to death so and then i fall in love with them i can't let them go and it's that that simple

00:18:21.140 wow that's i mean that's pretty um that's pretty amazing but i gotta stop

00:18:25.380 well now you can afford the dog food yeah so um i can and um i you know it's just kind of turning

00:18:34.420 thing where people say hey cat turd i got a rescue we found on the side of the road so i'll post it or

00:18:39.940 i'll repost it and it's just turned into something i do i've had kennels built and you got to keep them

00:18:45.860 separated some of them you know they're from some of them i find they're 10 years old some i find they're

00:18:50.020 puppies and some of them just don't like each other yeah dogs are like that yeah it's hard to get

00:18:55.220 packed cohesion um so you're not telling us your real name or taking your glasses off which i

00:19:02.100 which i respect but tell us why tell us why that would be a concern in well supposedly free country

00:19:07.940 yeah so um number one i like being in the background i get invited to all the red carpet

00:19:13.700 events and stuff but i never go it's just not my thing uh but i mean for just saying my opinion

00:19:21.380 and that's all i do i just give my opinion i just like look at each issue and they call me a right

00:19:27.220 wing fanatic on wikipedia and you know all these hit pieces they do but you know i hate the republican

00:19:31.860 and democrat party equally me too i mean we have a country now 99 of washington dc is just corrupt and um

00:19:40.340 we're the resist you're not the resist you know the people they online uh we are the resist and and

00:19:48.180 we're just trying to fix the country so for doing my common you know sense of opinions i get death

00:19:53.460 threats i've been swatted three times they try to have me murdered tell us well tell us what that's

00:19:58.020 like well it always usually happens during my podcast but so um the last time they they call and pretend

00:20:06.180 to be me and they said that um uh that i caught my wife in bed with somebody and i'm not married so

00:20:13.940 and i shot them both and then when the police get there i'm going to kill them so they'll try to come

00:20:19.700 up and get you they try to get you murdered that's what it is it's attempted murder if you ask me

00:20:24.180 during your podcast they're in the pot it's always during the pockets it's happened to me three times

00:20:28.740 it's happened to a lot of us you know it's happened to marjorie taylor green tim pool

00:20:33.700 um but once you know everybody's once you get to a certain level they're they're going to come after

00:20:40.020 yeah i have they've lately they've been cutting heads off rabbits and throwing them off the body

00:20:44.900 over my gate serious that's happened three times now too so we live in a country where

00:20:53.460 the citizenry is surveilled much more thoroughly than north korea's surveils its own citizens

00:20:58.580 like everything you do is monitored right through your phone facial recognition satellites everything is

00:21:04.260 monitored but they can't find the people who are doing this yeah and and are they even interested

00:21:09.860 and finding if it happens to us you know i mean who do we call who do you call who do you call

00:21:15.300 because there is nobody now the local police where i live are awesome and i support the blue i always

00:21:20.580 have i just don't support the feds at all i mean look what they turned into tucker it's it's it's awful

00:21:27.540 so you call the local cops when this happens and what do they say well the first time i did it they

00:21:33.540 were like your cat turd aren't you and so yeah so i i left them after the first time i gave

00:21:39.540 them a bunch of gear you know here get some cat turd stuff but they they actually come and they

00:21:44.580 patrol my property a lot mainly because it's a one-horse town there's nothing else to do yeah

00:21:51.540 but uh they're great and then they watch it like a hawk you know they're very protective of it but

00:21:57.780 it's like if somebody on the left annoys me which they do a lot i'll mute them right if if i annoy people

00:22:05.860 which i understand i do they try to have me killed i mean that's a big gap isn't it right it's a big

00:22:11.140 gap muting yeah attempted murder so you spend your life watching what's happening oh yeah what

00:22:21.380 conclusions have you drawn where do you think we're going this year well we're in trouble i mean it's

00:22:26.580 just i always try to be positive but sometimes i can't see a way out of it anymore can you i mean i just

00:22:33.380 don't see a way out of it and i'm a trump supporter i'm a trump guy yeah um if you you know i go back

00:22:40.500 to the it cracks me the funniest thing to me on x is all the people that do whatever the government

00:22:46.820 says that put resist in their bio yeah that's the funniest thing you know black lives matter

00:22:51.780 obedient little bitches yeah yeah whatever and and um they can they can tell them anything and they'll

00:22:59.540 do it what if you can convince your voters that men can have babies yeah think about that you've

00:23:04.740 got them you can tell them you can tell them to wear a dirty dopper on their head and they're going

00:23:09.220 to do it they will though and well they did actually if you don't have a dirty dopper on your head

00:23:16.420 but once once they can convince you of that i mean you got to know these people are laughing

00:23:21.620 when they're at the bar the democrats saying that we've convinced them that men can have babies

00:23:25.940 and they believe it and they're calling everybody names that doesn't believe it so do you see that

00:23:30.660 changing at all i believe the woke is the woke part of it is coming to the head i really do i think

00:23:38.180 it's people are tired of it i am and we don't care what names you call us and and i'm a person who

00:23:43.460 believes i don't you know i was a hippie i was a real hippie not one of these fake hippies don't lie

00:23:48.500 i was an actual hippie i mean i lived up i was homeless at one time i lived up in a tent but

00:23:52.980 in a lake for months how was it um it was good i could call a lot of crappy and i ate them

00:24:00.820 every night you had crappy every night oh well you gotta gotta eat somehow yeah

00:24:08.660 so it it's it it's a it's a rough spot to be in but um what were we talking about you're saying that

00:24:15.700 people are getting sick of the anti-white stuff the trans stuff all that but do kids have a chance

00:24:22.420 i mean think think about this um i'm 59 and i think you're in your 50s and we went to school

00:24:29.060 there was you know we actually learned mathematics social studies history but they think about a kid

00:24:36.820 these days he goes to school so they start when they're three or four in kindergarten and they don't

00:24:41.620 have a chance they they look what they do to them now they're like critical race theory you get over

00:24:47.540 there all you are racist and you're okay you're racist and then they put a mask on you and and

00:24:53.460 they they they teach you that the air you breathe is poison and then they tell you you're all going to

00:24:58.020 die and burn in the hellfire from global warming in 12 years think about these little kids how scared

00:25:03.380 they are they scare the hell out of them yeah they do and then it's uh uh trans this and and and and

00:25:09.940 they're showing bj's to seven years old in books yeah and and and then they go through the whole

00:25:15.620 school and it's like that and then they step into college and what's college it's turbo now yeah and

00:25:21.300 they're brainwashed through and i honestly think the longer you stay in college the dumber you get now

00:25:27.700 there's any question about it does that make sense it makes a lot of sense and and so you have these

00:25:32.260 teachers so they go they go through that and then they go and they stay in college as long as they can

00:25:37.700 until they're 30 years old and then they go right from there to a teaching job so they stay on campus

00:25:43.060 until they're 50. so they don't have any life experience they've never they don't know what it's

00:25:47.220 like to to work for a living or run a business and they're the ones teaching you know and it's just

00:25:53.700 it's it's horrible so they don't have a chance so all of this or some of it is coming going to come

00:26:01.060 to a head this calendar year because of the presidential election oh yeah where do you see that going

00:26:05.860 well man trump's gonna win the primary i hope everybody knows that we can call him all around

00:26:15.540 and uh fight each other and the desantez people we're all i'm in there we're all fighting each

00:26:20.260 other but trump's gonna win the primary and he should win it um but man um what they're doing to

00:26:29.540 him and they're not they're not doing it to trump to do it to trump they hate him but i always say

00:26:36.020 on the podcast that washington's okay as long as they have george bush versus obama every year that's

00:26:43.700 what they want they want george bush versus obama every four years they split up the four trillion

00:26:48.180 dollars with their friends some of them get it sometimes some of them give it that's what they want

00:26:52.740 they want bush versus obama they're okay with that yeah they love nikki haley of course you know

00:26:59.380 um can i ask you to pause and since you're online all day do you think there's organic support for

00:27:05.620 nikki there's none okay because she's i'm not even sure she's an actual human being yeah she's the most

00:27:11.700 dangerous republican primary candidate we've had probably one of them in my lifetime why do you say that

00:27:19.300 she's just i mean some of the things she said lately she's a neocon number one yeah i mean my god

00:27:26.260 how how many times are you gonna be food america i mean from the vietnam war it's vietnam north vietnam

00:27:32.660 beats south vietnam it's there it's over for our country yeah so let's send 60 000 people to go

00:27:38.420 korea was the same way all the middle eastern wars and uh she she's right in there ukraine ukraine but

00:27:45.700 unlike you she served our country and you know oh wait oh yeah yeah yeah but but she's dangerous

00:27:52.820 and and remember when she said a week ago if you're anonymous on twitter whatever i want your name

00:27:59.460 that's what she said you got to register with the government to give your i want your name

00:28:04.180 not the government wants it i do she's dangerous i just i get a feel for people i've always had a knack

00:28:10.500 knack to kind of fill people out and and i just it's just she's like mike pence yeah she's nothing

00:28:16.980 they say is authentic everything sounds like it's programmed cliches yes um i've had a lot of bosses in

00:28:24.740 my life and some nasty ones you know that's the way bosses are yeah and every person i've ever talked

00:28:30.180 to in my life and every boss i ever had they talk exactly like trump all of them yeah i don't have

00:28:35.380 anybody in my life that sets up there like mike pence and you know a bird in the hands with two

00:28:41.140 in the bush you know just every cliche you can imagine do you get a creepy vibe off pence total

00:28:47.140 i say on the podcast sometimes i i don't know what skeletons is i'd hate to see what goes on there

00:28:52.900 when the lights go out so um i'm not just nobody's that perfect you know quit acting perfect i remember

00:29:00.980 that time he's like i can't even have lunch with another woman because i'm married even if we're

00:29:04.740 friends remember he said that yeah that sounds like yeah i had i had a lot of thoughts about that

00:29:09.700 i mean by the way i think you should if you're married you should really actively try not to

00:29:14.020 commit adultery i think that's i totally agree with that a hundred percent but him specifically

00:29:19.460 saying that i reached exactly the opposite conclusion i'm just gonna say that yeah yeah i don't i don't

00:29:24.420 i don't trust them when they're when they're that perfect and they it's all it's just like it's planned

00:29:30.580 everything they say is planned and i just that that's why i like trump you know does trump make

00:29:35.700 some bad everybody i don't believe everything you say you don't believe everything i say i don't

00:29:40.020 believe every trump doesn't believe everything i say but i mean what they're doing now he's already

00:29:46.180 an iconic figure they're going to turn him into a martyr and they're making him more powerful and

00:29:51.300 more powerful and more powerful and i could see him if the election was fair i could see him just

00:29:58.100 totally steamrolling if it was fair i know it would be you think it will be uh well who do we have

00:30:06.020 uh to fight who do we have to fight ronna mcdaniels give me a break i mean we got scott

00:30:12.260 pressler out there beating the streets he's beating the street like a you know like a bicycle clown out

00:30:17.780 there he is going around everywhere he's registering voters he's on the ground in the in the republican

00:30:22.180 party won't give him the time of day he knows every rule to every county in this country and that's if

00:30:28.820 you could have a thousand of him out there and they trained another thousand you could sweep this thing

00:30:35.060 why do you think they're not doing that well i mean why would you have someone as mediocre and

00:30:40.420 incapable as ronna mcdaniel who has no track record of success in any area why would she run the republican

00:30:45.940 party that's pretty weird i have no idea i remember when you know 90 of the people were complaining

00:30:52.100 about her you know getting the job again i remember one of the donors so yeah this has nothing to do

00:30:58.420 y'all the donors picked this i remember reading a story like that and that sounds true it's true

00:31:05.540 they don't care they don't care about us they're i mean i always say especially when it comes to trump

00:31:11.620 the the democrats will cheat and the republicans will let him because they hate trump yeah they

00:31:16.500 hate him and i mean it's a simple choice to me i mean if you really he's the only resist president

00:31:22.740 in my lifetime why do you think they hate him so much because he's not a part of their club this is not

00:31:29.700 about trump to me it's just like this is an outsider and we're going to destroy his life and we're going

00:31:37.860 to show everybody out there that if you pick an outsider somebody that we hadn't picked going back

00:31:43.940 to a bush versus you know obama situation if it's not the people we pick that are we're okay with

00:31:50.980 we're going to destroy their lives we're going to they can't even get a lawyer they'll arrest your lawyer

00:31:55.460 for defending you yeah and we're going to make up stuff we're going to say your property that's worth

00:32:00.420 a billion dollars is worth 13.74 cents we're going to do whatever we can and and this is to show

00:32:07.460 not just trump but anybody in the next 50 years we will stick the fbi the cia we will destroy you

00:32:15.060 if you're not our chosen people and that's what i think is going on

00:32:22.660 so we were in a meeting here at tcn the other day and i looked around the room and every other

00:32:26.980 person had a kind of ruddy vitality or pink cheeks alertness bright eyes full mental acuity

00:32:37.300 and a cheerfulness you could almost smell and i asked why does everyone look so good and part

00:32:44.420 of the answer of course is they like what we do for a living it's really interesting we think it's

00:32:48.580 important but another reason everyone looks so good is because they'd all had a great night sleep i'm not

00:32:57.060 making this up almost everybody here uses a new sleep technology from a company called eight sleep

00:33:05.140 they sent it to us and everyone here loves it it's called the pod it's a high-tech mattress cover

00:33:11.060 effectively that you add to your existing bed you don't need a new bed or anything like that you just

00:33:15.060 throw this over what you have what it does is it adjusts the temperature of your bed warmer or cooler

00:33:22.340 depending on what you want and it maintains an ideal sleeping environment all night long

00:33:27.780 so i didn't know this but as you progress through different phases of sleep your body's

00:33:32.020 needs change and eight sleep automatically keeps things exactly where they should be in the sweet spot

00:33:39.060 through the entire night it's been proven to increase the quality of your sleep the amount you sleep

00:33:45.780 every night it improves your recovery time from physical exertion and it may even improve your

00:33:50.740 cognitive performance and enhance enhance your overall health it seems to be doing that in our

00:33:56.340 office so it learns and adapts to your sleep patterns over time and automatically adjusts the temperatures

00:34:01.620 throughout the night through each phase of sleep and it does this independently for each sleeper on either

00:34:09.300 side of the bed that's pretty cool so you can sleep well and feel much better and be more effective the

00:34:16.740 next morning as we are here try it for yourself go to eight sleep dot com slash tucker use the promo code

00:34:24.020 tucker to get an extra 350 bucks off the pod for ultra you can try it with zero obligation for a month

00:34:30.900 and if you don't like it just send it back again that's eight sleep dot com slash tucker better sleep

00:34:37.380 today and look great in your morning meetings as our guys do

00:34:44.740 if trump is prevented from appearing on the ballot in november if he's arrested

00:34:52.260 you know something even worse happens which is entirely possible next step of course it's the next

00:34:57.220 step i don't want to say it out loud everyone i hate saying it no of course i'm not going to but

00:35:01.300 everyone knows i'm talking about um but if he is prevented if democracy is prevented from proceeding

00:35:09.700 what do you think the response from his voters is going to be as you follow this carefully

00:35:14.340 well why do you think they do the january 6 things they want you scared that if you do anything you

00:35:19.380 could be you know 80 foot away you know outside the tape of the capital you could be a half a mile

00:35:25.300 away and they're going to come after you because there haven't been any i mean this used to be a country

00:35:29.540 where people felt free to assemble as is guaranteed them in the constitution to make their views known

00:35:36.260 via demonstrations and rallies you haven't seen january 6th was the last one on the right that i'm

00:35:41.860 aware of they that's what they're trying to do scare you so but do you think that there will be

00:35:48.020 demonstrations if something oh yeah it's it's yeah but like i say they're just making it more powerful

00:35:55.540 making trump more yeah i mean i hate to tell you libs this but because of you in a hundred years

00:36:04.020 they're not going to be talking about me or even you they're gonna be talking about trump in a hundred

00:36:07.220 years i agree with that he's going to be one of the biggest figures in in the history of our country

00:36:13.780 not because of what he did but because of how they're treating him and they're making him more

00:36:18.100 powerful and if he gets arrested gets put in a jail can you imagine

00:36:20.900 and and it could happen people say it couldn't happen oh it could happen it could happen very

00:36:26.100 easily yeah who should he pick as his running mate oh man i go back and forth from this um

00:36:34.100 i would like to say this that i don't think the vp pick really matters that much i mean we got harris

00:36:40.500 as a vp that proves it yeah but i'll tell you it takes a long time for me to trust you but

00:36:46.740 i'm starting to like vivek and i'm not sure if he's fake and i'm not sure if it's just a show

00:36:52.660 but man he's pissing them off oh bad as me and you

00:36:57.780 yeah they hate him they do and he's saying i mean boy he they were put them them debates

00:37:03.060 my god he got rona mcdaniel he got all of them mad but he and isn't it funny he's running the campaign

00:37:10.580 exactly what dissent as should have been running he's running the campaign that dissent as but dissent as

00:37:16.180 running a nikki haley campaign does it seem that way it does to me why you said something about

00:37:22.660 his online team is just so cringe and i and i shouldn't have said that i shouldn't have gotten

00:37:26.660 involved in that i've been trying to stay out of it i just um and i know so they are and they but

00:37:32.260 yeah i don't understand it i mean um people like you know can people build trust with you

00:37:40.180 it's consistency over time yeah and when you're a trump supporter all well some of them hated trump

00:37:46.420 then you love trump and you loved him and now you love dissent as and then if he's gone you're gonna

00:37:50.500 love nikki haley people don't trust that and i don't have anything against any of them i mute a lot of

00:37:56.020 them um i don't carry grudges with those people and i welcome anybody in when it's over of course you

00:38:02.900 know i don't have any do you think that but it does seem i mean i don't follow it very closely i'll admit i

00:38:08.100 don't want to follow it closely but it does seem like there's enormous bitterness between

00:38:13.460 the desantis people and the trump oh there is it's crazy and i i try not to get into the personal

00:38:18.660 attacks um i'm kind of like trump even on x i i'll if you want to you know i'm a ship poster if you

00:38:27.460 want if you want to come at the ship poster with two million followers come on and an army of you know

00:38:33.860 phone went out the mouth just waiting for me to say something uh you know to get on somebody

00:38:38.980 but i very seldom i don't just attack first but you know if you keep attacking me yeah and but it

00:38:45.220 doesn't bother me i don't i don't take any of this stuff personally i mean i don't either you know i

00:38:50.500 they call me every name in the book you know um what i'll be called you know that they'll you know

00:38:56.020 you're old you're fat you're ugly i mean that's how they fight with you know which all three are kind of

00:39:01.140 true i'll have to beat them the next round

00:39:08.820 but uh um people get so mad at this and you have to like if you have to step back from it and i i

00:39:17.380 think it's funny i've lived in the real world where you know i've been in bar fights you know

00:39:21.940 real you know stuff um so you know somebody calling me ugly and old and the boomer uh i don't care

00:39:29.860 yeah do you i don't care i don't even know what people say i i care what the people i love think

00:39:36.180 that's me too that's it um and like you have a lot of dogs which really helps yeah

00:39:40.900 um do you think the breach between those two camps trump de santis can be fixed yeah i i think uh you

00:39:48.660 know some of it some people can't but most people can um but this is my first primary i mean it's been

00:39:56.260 i don't know if it's ever been this vicious but so i supported de santis i'm florida guy and i was

00:40:02.820 glad he was our governor not oh me too i don't get paid by any campaign and i pushed hard and i was so

00:40:08.660 glad when he won by 20 points and i was so happy and i think he's a good governor yeah and um so and

00:40:15.780 i try to tell people you got i i don't want him so beaten down and hammered that we end up getting a

00:40:22.980 blue governor next you know a gavin newsom destroy our state i mean you you're here now

00:40:28.980 um but someone from his team not crazy high up but they asked me my honest opinion about it when

00:40:35.860 he when he said he was going to run and i was like don't do it whatever you do don't run think about

00:40:42.980 and this is what i told him i said okay he's 44 young young yeah and he just won reelection by the

00:40:50.500 biggest landslide i was like govern your state yeah and it perfect how perfect is the timing when you're

00:40:58.580 with the end of your eight years is up it's right would be right getting in the meat of the 2028 that's

00:41:04.020 right so i i this is what i tell them support trump because he helps you and you don't you don't want

00:41:10.900 the trump supporters you they can destroy you i mean you don't want them you know you don't want

00:41:15.460 to turn on them i swear i said look just please this is my advice just having govern governor support

00:41:23.460 trump all he can and in 28 you got biden with only four years left or trump with only four years left

00:41:30.100 and now you're more popular and now you have all the trump people you have all the desantis people and

00:41:35.460 you can moonwalk into the white house in 2028 moonwalk that's my exact words i use what was the

00:41:41.140 response you got um yeah okay thanks a lot uh a lot of people don't take me too seriously but it it and

00:41:50.100 i hate it i hate it's going like this but a lot of people do take you seriously which is interesting

00:41:54.980 it is and and i can see why i think you're insightful no thank you how many politicians have you met

00:41:59.460 personally um well when they when they're when uh personally you know i kind of keep to myself but

00:42:06.740 uh dm wise and messaged me they all love me when it comes to election time hey will you retweet this

00:42:12.420 and retweet this and um i can't name five people in either party i trust i just don't trust anybody

00:42:19.540 anymore and they don't they don't deserve our trust the republican party i mean come on they don't know how

00:42:24.340 to fight no i know they're over there talking about their principles and they're arresting their

00:42:29.220 political opponents so you better get in the game and we get the power of the gavel and what

00:42:34.180 do they do with it seriously nothing i mean this is how you fight when you get the gavel you do

00:42:40.740 your own january 6 committee but do you think it's because they don't understand how to fight or

00:42:44.900 they're throwing the match i i don't know if they just don't care yeah or they don't know how

00:42:50.340 or they're just cowards but the truth is see this is how you fight you get a january 6 committee and

00:42:56.820 you don't allow any democrats on it and you put everybody on it they hate just like they did us

00:43:01.300 you put marjorie taylor green boebert mc gates that's the january 6 committee you don't allow them

00:43:06.740 to have any witnesses and you start subpoenaing let's see what nancy pelosi was talking to the

00:43:11.220 capitol police you start subpoenaing everybody and you have it on c-span every day for years and

00:43:16.420 if they if you don't start fighting like that it's over for this country well but and and also

00:43:21.700 you have an obligation to that because it's in pursuit of the truth i know what do you make of

00:43:25.780 the fact that the new speaker of the house mike johnson has not released the videotape which he

00:43:31.540 controls well i i told everybody you know that he was he was going to be awful i've warned everybody

00:43:36.900 that had that little kumbaya moment he did what what did he do exactly what kevin mccarthy did

00:43:42.740 he said he's going to release it so they get the big headlines gets everybody excited they release

00:43:46.900 one percent of one percent and then they just don't do it anymore and look what when when when you

00:43:52.900 release that the q shaman he got out of prison because of that one little five minutes think of

00:43:59.780 what if they were just release it just release it but they can't do it it's just push the button

00:44:05.220 just push the button and release it i know when he was talking about ukraine funding he was like

00:44:10.980 well we have to at some point do the ukraine funding because we don't want russia steamrolling

00:44:16.340 over europe that was the exact words or i'm paraphrasing close you think i mean obviously

00:44:20.980 you'd have to be really stupid to believe that i'm assuming he's not stupid i mean why would he say

00:44:26.420 something that it's the it's the same thing they always do to get us ginned up about a war also by the

00:44:31.460 way if russia invaded western europe could it be in worse shape than it is now i mean it was the us

00:44:37.140 government that blew up the german economy it wasn't the russians it was the biden administration
