In short

The episode argues that Tucker Carlson is “exposed” as a manipulator who lies publicly while privately admitting key claims are false, and that he’s positioning himself as a future “America First” presidential candidate. The host claims Carlson’s New York Times interview shows dismissive false equivalence toward white nationalist Nick Fuentes, while still attacking Ted Cruz. Key claims include: Carlson’s Trump-era election fraud promotion continued despite private doubts; Fox News settlement proves Fox lied; Carlson privately texted colleagues he “hates Trump” while pushing pro-Trump content; and Carlson called Dominion allegations “absurd.”

Notable examples

Carlson’s “Antichrist” denial/deflection, demon-attack story, and use of anti-LGBTQ slurs.

0:00Hey sweetie, your mother showed me this Carvana thing for selling the car. I'm gonna give it a try. Wish me luck. Me again. I put in the license plate. It gave me an offer. Unbelievable. Okay, I accepted the offer. They're picking it up Tuesday from the driveway. I haven't even left my chair. It's done. The car is gone. I'm holding a check. Anyway, Carvana, give it a whirl. Love ya. So good, you'll want to leave a voicemail about it. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pickup fees may apply.

0:34All right, you have to remember that 15 years ago, there was the Tea Party, and they seemed very radical and very fringe. And they incubated what is MAGA. And right now, MAGA is incubating something, believe it or not, that is going to be worse. The Democratic Party has always been like, oh, that's fringe. Nobody will vote for that. well, the French people are occupying the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the executive branch. We're all suffering because of it. So what's incubating right now? And in my opinion, one of the worst things happening is Tucker Carlson. He is trying to launder his image, and I think he's going to run for president.

1:13And I think it will be far worse than what MAGA is. He sat down with the New York Times this past weekend for an interview that's making a lot of news. Here's a very interesting clip from that. Who do you think is more morally repulsive? Ted Cruz? Who do you think is more morally repulsive? Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is a sitting US senator who has called for the killing of people who did nothing wrong. Whole populations who advocated for this war. Nick Fuentes is like a kid. He's like 26 or 70. He has no power except his words. Here you have a public official who we pay, who has actual power, who's voting for things, who's making policy decisions.

1:57And those decisions would include, in fact, they are focused on the murder of people who did nothing wrong. And yet no one thinks it's a big deal. Well, it's just totally fine. I mean, if there's tape of Nick Fuentes saying we should kill people because we hate their parents, or it's okay to kill children, I would love to see the tape because that's disgusting. And that's basically what the entire U.S. Senate does every single day. And no one notices. Nick Fuentes said something naughty that I disagreed with. He made fun of things that I don't think I would ever make fun of them. He's a white nationalist who has denied the Holocaust.

2:28And what I will say. Okay. So number one, I appreciate how much Tucker hates Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz has earned that. And I think that is a really worthy argument. My problem with this whole take is how dismissive he is of Nick Fuentes. And he's just a kid. He doesn't have any power. and that's how these movements start and if you remember nick fuentes sat down for dinner with donald trump nick fuentes is he will look in his camera and say i am a neo-nazi he says that america is been taken over by ghetto in words he is a vile human being and it's a false equivalency because yes ted cruz does have a lot of power but what i'm worried about is a lot of people on the right are trying to give a permission structure to Nick Fuentes and the Groypers.

3:20You may remember Vice President Vance refused to condemn the Nazi group chat. So what they're trying to do is say, it's okay for us to have this type of speech in our party. We are a big tent enough. And what he's trying to do is stamp out the establishment, and this should ring off alarm bells. This is what Trump did. He came in in 2015, 2016 and said, lie in Ted, little Marco, low energy Jeff. And the entire Republican party was frothing at the mouth because they were so sick of being lied to. The Republican base was. They were so sick of it. They loved that somebody came in and cannibalized.

3:58Tucker knows that. Tucker's a lot smarter than Trump and Trump has really good instincts. I hate to admit it, but he does. And so Tucker is already starting to bash the establishment, make room for racism and set out this party that is America first. And here's another notable exchange from this episode. Looking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist. I have not said that. On your show, the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing ceremony as president. You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book.

4:34And then on a recent show, you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows? I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips because because I'm not sure I fully understand what the Antichrist is if there's just one. I actually tried to understand it.

5:12I may have said some are asking that. I'm not weighing in on that because I don't understand it. Okay, this is a guy who claims that demons attacked him while he was sleeping. He knows damn good and well what the Antichrist is. This is a guy that traffics in these stupid conspiracy theories on the right that Trump didn't officially put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in because there's some Illuminati satanic bullshit going on. These people are conspiracy theorists and they prey on the weakest intellectual minds among us. And this group gets co-opted by the Tea Party. Then they get co-opted, you know, Rush Limbaugh before that, then the Tea Party, Fox News, then MAGIT, and now Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, which is why he refuses to throw Nick Fuentes over the bus.

6:05But I think that Tucker is positioning himself to be the America first, Mr. Populist, Trump betrayed everybody. We didn't even see it coming. We had no idea he was gonna be this insane. He is doing a cult capture. He's in cult capture mode. He is trying to capture the cult. And so let's do a recap. on what he genuinely believes play the clip no why because you don't want to get arrested do you there's a lot to be arrested oh because it's so harmful to people is that like gay bashing what's wrong with that actually my whole issue with the whole trans debate for example is you don't need to slide into actually saying drogatory stuff about trans people to make the point that women's rights should be protected you don't need to well i agree so so what i don't believe it's a magic I don't believe it needlessly, you know, snitching.

6:57I'm not smearing anybody. I just think. But what, would you use that word? Yeah. I just did. But would you it? Okay, but why? And I'm using it because. I mean, seriously, like, this is a guy who's now pitching that he cares so much about the deaths of Palestinians. And then here he is talking about 10 % of the American population, the LGBTQ plus community, saying the F-slur in the most white supremacist, crusty country club, racist, Republican kind of way. And then he expects us to buy into the bullshit that he's so offended by Ted Cruz's policies. This guy is a master manipulator and he is trying to capture the cult.

7:45And that's why he can say, we can't support what's happening in Palestine anymore because it's objectively so bad. But he's also two videos here. He's serving up a permission structure that Trump always gave the base, racism. Nick Fuentes, racist. He's serving that up. You still get to be a white supremacist. Oh, and guess what? You still get to use the F word. He's not going to be woke with that. And here he is, Tucker Carlson, talking about women. Let's play the clip or wars that first of all that's not you know that's not a liberation movement that's a kind of slavery and it's totally wrong and so I said something like that to me he looked at me like I was a freak and uh and I was just I I was just so filled I didn't you know this was at a dinner so I didn't really have time to think it through I still haven't fully thought it through but I just remember thinking that's disgusting it's like walking by a pile of human feces on sidewalk you can explain it away and there are no restrooms here it's like no on the sidewalk like all right so there's going to be a body of evidence that's disqualifying for tecker but the new trump standard that is out now that a lot of 77 million americans will accept is that we don't care if people are bigots we don't care if they're sexual assaulters we don't care that they give us the permission structure to, quote, own the libs and continue with our bigotry.

9:18And then here is a video of Tucker's long running great replacement theory. Play the clip. A lot about the great replacement theory recently. It's everywhere in the last two days, and we're still unsure exactly what it is. I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term replacement. If you suggest the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the third world. But they become hysterical because that's what's happening actually. Let's just say it.

9:54That's true. So the great replacement theory is something that really hits hard in MAGA. And again, Tucker Carlson is in a cult capture era. He's trying to capture this cult. So the theory goes that all of these immigrants, the black and brown people that you see, are replacing the white population. And there is a real fear in white supremacists that this is going to happen to them, that somehow something is going to happen to their whiteness if we have immigrants here that are from, have a different complexion than European traditional, what do they call it, heritage Americans. And Tucker Carlson also spread lies about the 2020 election that he privately admitted were absurd and continued spreading them for years after the election.

10:47Play the clip. Welcome to Tucker Carlson's and happy Monday. We're about to show I WILL SHOW YOU SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE FROM INSIDE THE UNITED STATES CAPITAL. THE IMAGES YOU 'LL SEE WERE RECORDED 26 MONTHS AGO TODAY ON JANUARY 6, 2021. UNTIL NOW POLITICIANS HAVE KEPT THIS TAPE HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC. THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE JUSTIFICATION FOR THAT AND THERE NEVER HAS BEEN. ON JANUARY 6, TWO YEARS AGO, THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS WALKED THE ELECTION WAS TAKEN FROM A TRUMP RALLY ON THE ELLIPSE OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE U.S. CAPITOL WHERE THE CERTIFICATION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS UNDERWAY. THE PROTESTERS WERE ANGRY.

11:22THEY BELIEVED THAT THE ELECTION THEY HAD JUST VOTED IN HAD BEEN UNFAIRLY CONDUCTED. THEY WERE RIGHT. IN RETROSPECT IT IS CLEAR THE 2020 ELECTION WAS A GRAVE BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. Given the facts that have since emerged about that election, no honest person can deny it. Yet the beneficiaries of that election continue to lie about what is now obvious. Okay, so here's the facts about this. Fox News helped cover this big lie because Donald Trump is a thin-skinned egomaniac that couldn't stomach that he lost. And he didn't want to pack his toys up and leave the White House. So he had all of his Rube followers go attack it, beat up cops, do all the shit that you saw.

12:04They took literal shits in the Capitol. After Fox News lied and ran cover, they had to pay a$787 million settlement because it was proven that they had lied. And in the discovery of these documents, we found out what all of these Fox News on-air personalities feel. Documents from the lawsuit exposed how spineless Carlson is. He texted colleagues things like, I hate Trump passionately, while his show was pushing for pro-Trump election content. In private, Carlson wrote that Trump needed to concede and agreed there wasn't enough fraud to change the outcome. So this is all WWE shit. This is all manufactured, and Tucker is in his era where he is trying to capture this cult.

12:52He also texted his producer that the Dominion allegations were absurd. His producer agreed, writing, I don't think there is evidence of voter fraud that swung the election. Yet they all still promoted it. And here's the thing about how crazy MAGA is. They know that Fox News lied to them. They know that Fox News had to pay a billion dollars in damages, and they still fucking every night. I'm going to watch the vibe. I wonder what Jesse's up to tonight. How stupid are these people? Like if I knew I watched a news channel and they lied and they had to pay a billion dollars in damages, I might not be the sharpest person on the planet, but I wouldn't watch that channel anymore.

13:35Okay, listener, I have made no secret that I have used GLP-1s and it has changed my life. It is so important to feel good and be healthy. And that's the advantage of using GLP-1s? And you might say, well, they're so expensive. Does my insurance cover it? I'll tell you how you find out and who my partner is in this is Rho. Rho is an exciting way to lose weight and understand what is best for your body. My personal experience has been fantastic. I highly recommend it. There is a new FDA approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss at the lowest cost and that is offered by Rho. The new GLP-1 pill has the same weight loss ingredient as the shot and packs comparable results to the shot.

14:27The Rho body membership includes access to FDA approved GLP-1s, unlimited provider messaging, side effect management, and more all for just$45 for your first month and$145 a month thereafter. The Roe membership fee excludes the cost of the GLP-1 medication. Go to roe.co.ihip to see if you are eligible for the new GLP-1 pill on Rho. That's ro.co slash ihip to get started on Rho. Go to ro.co slash safety for boxed warning and full safety information about GLP-1 medications. And then this is the one that I want everybody to remember and share from now until the cows came home because this fucking never happened.

15:22I'm going to show you a video of Tucker Carlson lying. And if he thinks it's true, I challenged Tucker. Let's hook you up to a polygraph machine, big boy. You come right here to New York city, sit your ass down and we'll do a little polygraph because a hundred percent, you're lying about this. Play the clip. I think the presence of evil is kickstarting people to wonder about the goods. That's what happened to me. That's what happened to you. Oh yeah. I had a direct experience with it. In the milieu of journalism or just... Nope, in my bed at night. And I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled.

16:01Physically mauled. In a spiritual attack by a demon? Yeah, by a demon. Or by something unseen that left... Is that right? Claw marks on my sides, on my... Maybe it was the poor dogs. Oh, they're still there. Yeah, yeah. maybe it was the four dogs i was asleep in bed with my wife and four dogs and a demon attack that's just such bullshit it's such bullshit and this guy is on with all that dominion stuff lying and he still has this big of an audience because what does it say about american culture that tens of millions of people know that this channel is lies that this guy claims he was attacked by demons and says this about Trump behind his back, but says this about Trump to all of the millions of followers.

16:51And they still listen to these people as though they're credible messengers. It is insane. Let's end with something even more embarrassing than all the other stuff I mentioned. Tucker on Dancing with the Stars. Let's play the clip.

17:22Does he have to sit down the whole time? Oh, oh, here he goes. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Step together, step. Okay. So he was eliminated the first week, I think because he sat down for most of his performance. He scored a three out of 10 with one judge in a just absolute act of patriotism, in my opinion. One of the worst scores a contestant has ever received in 34 seasons. Maybe if Tucker had a gay dance buddy, he could give him a couple of tips. Maybe if he wasn't out calling everybody F-A-G-G-O-T, he could have won. This is a lesson right here, this performance, this face plant on Dancing with the Stars as to why Tucker.

18:09You need to not be such a homophobe. Gay people help us all and we help them and we build a community and America is better and safer when we support our LGBTQ plus friends, you miserable fuck twat. All right, that's all we have. Please like and subscribe and I'll be back later with more news.

18:40Thank you.
