[00:01:39] I hate to break it to you. [00:01:41] It has nothing to do with it. [00:01:43] Nothing. [00:01:44] Did I say with? [00:01:46] That's what I think I did. [00:01:47] Nothing. [00:01:49] Nothing to do. [00:01:51] Could the dismissal of Tucker have nothing to do with Tucker? [00:01:54] Yes. [00:01:55] How could that be, you ask? [00:01:57] How in the name of God? [00:01:58] Isn't this about him? [00:01:59] No. [00:02:00] It's about these other things that come along. [00:02:03] Do you remember the Dixie Chicks? [00:02:05] Why Dixie Chicks? [00:02:07] What did they do? [00:02:09] Well, they were in England and they said... [00:02:15] Something about President Bush is from Texas and we're from Texas and we don't like Texas. [00:02:21] Who cares about Bush? [00:02:23] But that was it. [00:02:25] That was it. [00:02:27] Kathy Griffin. [00:02:28] Kathy Griffin came out with this shepherd head of Trump. [00:02:34] Don't people like that? [00:02:35] No. [00:02:36] Why? [00:02:37] I don't know. [00:02:39] That's it. [00:02:41] I mean, there are people at... [00:02:44] I don't watch... [00:02:46] I've never been a fan of Fox News per se, but I recognize what they've done because of the genius of Roger Ailes. [00:02:58] I understand that. [00:02:59] But none of these people have been, in any way, brain surgeons, as far as I'm concerned. [00:03:05] None of them. [00:03:06] None of them. [00:03:08] And Tucker was always good, and Tucker was smart, and Tucker did a lot of good stuff, but Tucker was just, you know, let's face it, okay? [00:03:18] He did some good stuff. [00:03:19] Do you think everybody really dug what he did? [00:03:21] I don't know. [00:03:22] He did tend to appeal more towards the... [00:03:29] I want to explain to you. [00:03:32] There are iterations and groups and textures of... [00:03:38] Conspiracists. [00:03:39] And I'm going to throw that term, conspiracy, there. [00:03:41] I'm just going to throw it at you. [00:03:42] Just like, for example, some people like boxing, some like MMA, some like Muay Thai and all this stuff, some like, you know, Pad Thai, whatever the hell it is. [00:03:52] There's different iterations of stuff, and there are people who like different versions of what's going on. [00:03:57] Tucker was as close to the... [00:04:02] To the dark area as you can. [00:04:05] And I know this area perfectly. [00:04:10] Believe me, I know all of these. [00:04:13] And invariably, there will be something that starts off with a good question. [00:04:21] Like, what about this? [00:04:26] I have always said, And this is one of those things. [00:04:31] And this is where I've always been on the outside. [00:04:37] First, remember this rule. [00:04:39] And Tucker should remember this as well. [00:04:42] You don't know anything. [00:04:46] You don't know anything. [00:04:49] You can be suspicious all day long. [00:04:52] I've got a friend of mine who all of a sudden, overnight, is an expert on mRNA. [00:04:59] Messenger RNA. [00:05:00] This guy knows mRNA, huh? [00:05:04] Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. [00:05:06] What about it? [00:05:07] You mean with the vaccine? [00:05:11] Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:05:12] What about it? [00:05:13] Well, what do you know about this? [00:05:17] You're going to start tackling this now? [00:05:22] Epidemiology, immunology, virology, people who have spent their entire lives Knowing the clinical ups and downs and ins and outs of this and you, all of a sudden, you're an expert in viruses and vaccines? [00:05:39] It happened to me in law. [00:05:42] People I know were experts in law. [00:05:44] I saw it first during the O.J. Simpson case and all of a sudden people were blood splatter experts overnight. [00:05:52] Tucker kind of delved into a little bit about UFOs. [00:05:55] That was nice. [00:05:57] He didn't do Anything. [00:06:00] He repeated what everybody else has said, the real good ones or whatever. [00:06:06] He did some of the most God-awful, those moments where he would slam on the brakes as soon as Portnoy came on or who was it? [00:06:15] Oh, Candace Owens or Jason Whitless or whoever. [00:06:19] I'd say, I'm gone. [00:06:20] I'm done. [00:06:21] I'm just done. [00:06:25] You know, and it was whatever. [00:06:29] Okay, whatever. [00:06:31] His big replacement theory. [00:06:34] Ooh! [00:06:35] Wow! [00:06:36] Remember that? [00:06:37] He caught so much flack for that. [00:06:39] He basically has been reiterating what everybody's been saying for the longest time. [00:06:43] He's kind of like Daniel Ellsberg. [00:06:45] Ellsberg, with the Pentagon Papers, everybody knew about that. [00:06:49] It's a limited hang-up. [00:06:50] But what Tucker did was he went differently. [00:06:54] He did two things. [00:06:55] He started to go after, allegedly, putatively, putatively, he went after people he worked with. [00:07:05] That'll get you... [00:07:06] They're done with that. [00:07:09] That's finished. [00:07:11] If I ever worked in a corporate, I would have my own entrance. [00:07:15] I wouldn't meet anybody. [00:07:16] I would have remote everything. [00:07:18] I wouldn't want to know anybody. [00:07:19] I don't want to know what they look like. [00:07:22] I wouldn't be able to... [00:07:24] I wish I could say, I can't pick anybody out of a lineup. [00:07:29] No. [00:07:29] Birthday party? [00:07:30] No. [00:07:31] Christmas party? [00:07:32] No. [00:07:33] I don't want to know any of these people. [00:07:34] Somebody's going to say something, and I don't know what he did, and I will never, ever, ever, ever take anybody's word for it involving a case where I don't know anything about it. [00:07:45] Reading a complaint. [00:07:46] Did you ever read a bad complaint? [00:07:49] Did you ever read a complaint where somebody writes, Tucker Carlson in Fox News? [00:07:53] Well, they kind of... [00:07:55] I don't know. [00:07:56] I guess it wasn't that bad. [00:07:58] No. [00:07:58] It's like a police report. [00:08:00] They make you sound like you're Ted Bundy. [00:08:03] But she comes across, from what little I've seen, very, very, very... [00:08:11] Unless this is edited, but I mean, this is a good witness. [00:08:16] Bad for Tucker. [00:08:17] Good for her. [00:08:19] Ray Epps? [00:08:19] Oh, man. [00:08:20] You've got that one. [00:08:21] Plus the shareholder derivative suit. [00:08:25] Dominion doesn't matter. [00:08:27] They knew all about Dominion. [00:08:30] They've got lawyers who were going to tell you, Rupert, whoever it is, Rupert didn't care about this. [00:08:34] I can tell you to the penny, this is what it's going to cost. [00:08:38] Why they didn't at least make them work for it. [00:08:44] They can't do better than $8 billion in cash. [00:08:49] No, there was something else. [00:08:51] Tucker is, in my opinion, the sacrifice. [00:08:55] Get rid of him. [00:08:56] He's a pain in the neck. [00:08:58] He thinks he's better than everybody. [00:08:59] He thinks he's smarter. [00:09:00] He thinks he's preppy. [00:09:02] He thinks he's privileged. [00:09:07] Almost like the upper crust. [00:09:11] Whatever. [00:09:13] The gilded Newport Muffy and Puffy. [00:09:19] He's just going on people's nerves. [00:09:24] Factions liked him, but you know what? [00:09:26] That doesn't mean anything. [00:09:28] It doesn't mean anything. [00:09:31] The right is going crazy. [00:09:33] The left, anybody on the left care about Don Lemon? [00:09:36] Nope. [00:09:37] Anybody care about this brave and intrepid African American man? [00:09:41] Nope. [00:09:42] Anybody coming after Chris Ligt? [00:09:44] Nope. [00:09:47] The left is... [00:09:49] And I'm sorry to use these terms, but I'm using it just for purposes of, you know, shortcuts. [00:09:58] But they're... [00:10:00] No, this is something. [00:10:03] They're going to pull a Kathy Griffin with Tucker's scalp. [00:10:07] See? [00:10:08] You happy now, derivatives? [00:10:09] Go away! [00:10:11] Stop. [00:10:12] Don't sue us and the board individually for the fact that we blew $787 million because we weren't paying attention to who was saying what about Dominion. [00:10:21] Don't. [00:10:22] Don't sue us. [00:10:24] Please. [00:10:25] Don't. [00:10:25] Don't sue us because Tucker has some wild... [00:10:29] He's going to get to the bottom of January 6th. [00:10:32] And what Tucker doesn't understand is it doesn't matter what you say. [00:10:37] It's what they say you said. [00:10:41] Tucker said that January 6th was no big deal. [00:10:45] I never said that. [00:10:47] Doesn't matter what you say. [00:10:49] You had the guy with the Sonny Bono vest and the Valkyrie helmet walking through saying, how are you? [00:10:55] You basically said it was nothing. [00:10:58] You got people threatening to kill Mike Pence. [00:11:00] You got AOC who was traumatized even though she wasn't there. [00:11:04] That's how traumatic it was. [00:11:06] And here you are coming across like, I've got all this video that... [00:11:11] That Kevin McCarthy made available, and you're basically saying, eh, it's nothing. [00:11:15] Oh no. [00:11:16] That's going to be a point that Biden is going to bring up with the Democrats during the 2024 election, which is another reason why you've got to go. [00:11:26] So it really has something to do with you, per se. [00:11:29] It's that your sacrifice will appease the gods. [00:11:35] It's like when they used to throw this... [00:11:39] Sacrifice somebody to a volcano. [00:11:41] It didn't matter who the person was, really. [00:11:43] It was just, volcanoes weren't picking. [00:11:45] Tucker will do. [00:11:46] There you go. [00:11:47] Now go away. [00:11:49] Without Tucker there, without the lightning rod, what do you do to go after who? [00:11:53] Brian Kilmeade? [00:11:54] Peter Doocy? [00:11:56] Steve Doocy? [00:11:58] Come on! [00:12:00] Think about who, Hannity? [00:12:02] Hannity is a potted plant. [00:12:03] He's been there forever. [00:12:05] No, absent Tucker. [00:12:08] They're going to calm down. [00:12:10] Think about what I've said.
