Tucker Carlson's NYT Interview - A Recap!

I want to talk about your relationship with the president, and where it stands currently. When was the last time you were in the Oval Office? >> Just few months ago. I I went to the Oval Office. I had gone several times, actually. Like a lot like a lot. >> And what did you see when you were there? >> You know, everybody knows this, but I'll just confirm it. Like BB had been in there before me, and he probably had a gun to Trump's head. >> Really? >> Like an actual gun, like a loaded weapon. >> You're saying Benjamin Netanyahu had a gun to his head? >> And he had Donald Trump in a chokehold, and I know that Donald Trump had a wrestling background. He was involved at one point in the WWE, but clearly that didn't matter, um like at all. And BB had a gun to his head and said, "We're going to Iran. We're doing this." And Trump was like, "No." Um >> And you saw this with your own eyes? >> Washington insiders know this. They know this >> Wait, so this happened or didn't happen? >> I mean, I wasn't in the room, but I imagine it was something like that was going on. I mean, you don't go to Washington multiple times without trying to influence the president for your agenda. >> But you went. I'm sorry. I'm confused. Okay, well, what is your assessment of President Trump currently? >> Well, I attempted to communicate with the president. I went outside into the forest, and I screamed. And I screamed, "DON'T DO IT." UM I DON'T know if that was effective. I don't know if he heard. I don't know if he could hear me, but I I I certainly tried to do that. I did. I think it's possible Donald Trump might be a wizard. >> What? >> believe that. I do. >> What do you mean by that? >> Well, the last time I was at the Oval Office, I walked in, and at one point the chief of staff looked at me, and Donald Trump himself looked at me. He said, "You shall not pass." And I thought, "That's not our president. That's Gandalf." Gandalf the White. And there's nothing wrong with being white, by the way. I say that as a white person, and as a man, and as a Christian. But Trump might be a wizard. >> And so I understand you correctly, what you're saying is you literally believe President Donald Trump might be Gandalf from Lord of the Rings? I don't know. But we should be able to ask those questions, I think. Okay, moving on. What is your current relationship with Turning Point USA? >> Well, like I've always loved TPUSA. I've loved the organization. I've headlined many times. They didn't ask me to do it this year and so that is what it is, but I've always participated in their events. I've never charged anything, by the way. I've always done it for free and they always paid me a lot, like a lot, like a lot. So, I um >> And do you think TPUSA as an organization is in decline? >> I haven't the faintest idea, but yes. I just have questions, like legitimate questions. >> And the moment >> you ask questions, OH, SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST, ANTI-SEMITE. NO. NO. I JUST have legitimate questions. Like what happened to Charlie Kirk? Should capital be taxed at half the rate of labor? What's Bibi Netanyahu's father's middle name? Or if a demon rapes you without protection, should you get checked for STDs? Cuz itchy. >> Okay, tell me more about J.D. Vance. >> Who is J.D. Vance? >> J.D. Vance, the vice president. >> I know J D are letters. I mean, they're letters J and D. I mean, J, people are going TO SAY, OH, NAZI, J. But those are just letters to me. Those are just Those are just letters of the alphabet to >> You're telling me you don't know who J.D. Vance is? >> I literally don't know who that is. Those words have never come out of my lips, actually. I've never uttered those words ever and I've never >> Tucker, look, I've watched you for years, okay? Way back during the cable news days when you had a show on >> What show? >> Your television show. >> I've never had a show, like at all. >> You had one of the highest rated television news programs. >> I've literally never uttered words out of my lips on television, like ever, like that I can recall. >> I'm talking about the years when you were on Fox. >> What do you mean by Fox? Like the animal? >> No, Fox News. >> I'm sorry, I only know Fox the animal. Um I mean, I don't know what it sounds like, actually, like at all. >> What does the fox say? Tucker, are you okay? >> I've never been on TV. I don't I don't know what this is. Where are we? Who are you? Who am I? What is this? What is this? These are questions. >> I HAVE QUESTIONS. WHO AM I? I DON'T KNOW WHERE ARE WE? >> WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK. >> Who am I? I'M JEAN VALJEAN. WHAT IS THIS? >> WHY ARE YOU ALL WET, BABY? >> WHAT IS THIS? >> YES, he's here. How are the hallucinations? >> Get out of here, Tucky. These people are all Christian Zionists. >> You've been here, a patient of this institution. >> I was molested by a demon in my sleep. >> The dreams you have every night. >> There were claw marks. >> There were. And you've uncovered a conspiracy, so that anything we tell you about who you are, what you've done, you can dismiss as lies. >> OKAY. SHUT UP, NAZI. I'M FRIENDS WITH JD VANCE. >> I've been hearing this fantasy for 2 years now. I know every detail. >> I LOVE THAT. >> YOU'RE THE most dangerous patient we have. Your crime is terrible, one you can't forgive yourself for, so you invented another self. >> agree. >> Do you understand?
