• 0:37
  Speaker 1: American are Russian allegedly political commentator who hosts Tucker on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: X and The Tucker Crossing Show. We all know Tucker
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Carlson was a huge supporter of Donald Trump during the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four campaign and his previous campaigns. You would
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: often see Tucker right by Donald Trump. At the Republican
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: National Convention in Milwaukee, Tucker Causton described Trump as the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: funniest person he's ever met in his life.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Tucker said he is a one person. He knows him well. Okay.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: According to The New York Times, when Donald Trump was
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: shot in the ear, allegedly at a rally in Pennsylvania.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Tucker was the first person to meet him.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: All I'm trying to tell you is, Tucker Carlson was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a huge supporter of Donald Trump, but.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Not anymore, okay.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: In an episode of his podcast release Monday, he seems
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to have severed ties with the president and says he
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is tormented by his past support of Donald Trump.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go to what's that CNN. Let's go to CNN
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and listen.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Please, We'll be tormented by it for a long time.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I will be.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: And I want to say, I'm sorry for misleading people.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: And it was non intentional, That's all I say.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson apologized on his podcast for his part in
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: helping to get President Donald Trump elected. During an interview
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: with his brother, Buckley, Carlson.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: You and I and everyone else who supported him. He
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: wrote a speeches form a campaign for him. I mean,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: we're implicated in this for sure, you and me and
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: millions of people like us. For the reason this is
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: happening right now.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Carlson has been publicly criticizing Trump over the Iran War.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: He recently called out Trump's Easter Truth social post in
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: which the president threatened to destroy Iran's bridges and power
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: plants and demanded that they quote open the fucking street.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Trump later insulted Carlson, citing pulling about his popularity. He
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: posted to truth Social saying, quote Tucker is a low
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: IQ person, always easy to beat, and highly overrated. The
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Dominion case revealed that in twenty twenty one, Carlson had
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: privately said I hate him passionately. Still, these comments are
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: a far cry from the twenty twenty four election, where
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Carlson praised and campaigned for.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Trump and Donald Trump, whatever you say about him, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I think he's a wonderful person. I know him well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: by the way, the funniest person I've ever met in
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: my life.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Actually he actually cares.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: He would lie the man. You already said privately that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: he hated him with a passion. But listen, here's the thing.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The truth is the truth. Okay, if that's his truth,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I have no problem with him telling the world that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, we've all been there, all right.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I had biased remore so with Joe Biden, especially when
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I realized he had no intention of being a one
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: term president. As soon as I saw him saying he
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to run again. I was like, absolutely not, because
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: this man is not going to beat Donald J. Trump
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: if he runs again, and beating Trump should have been
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the ultimate priority. But that's another conversation for another day.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just simply saying I regretted my support of a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: candidate before and expressed it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So if Tucker wants to do that, good. Okay. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: see people debating if he's sincerera or not.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Ba humbug. Okay, listen, it doesn't matter. This is politics.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Democrats got what they need. Can we listen to the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: clip again? Just just a clip of him apologizing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Supported him, he wrote speeches, form a campaign for him.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're implicated in this for sure. It's not
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: enough to say well I changed my mind, or like
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: oh this is bad, I'm out you and me and
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: millions of people like us, or the reason this is
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: happening right now. I do think it's like a moment
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we'll be
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: tormented by it for a long time.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I will be.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: and it was non intentional, That's all I say. But
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: the question does present usself immediately like, what is this?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Was this always the plan?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: You don't want to be a conspiracy nut, But like,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: clear there were signs of low character. We knew that,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: but it didn't There are tons of people of low
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: character who like perform their character.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: See, it doesn't matter if he's sincere. Democrats got what
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they need. They should be clipping that up and getting
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: ready to run that in campaign ads for the midterms
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty eight. Because I don't think Tucker
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: would ever endorse a Democrat or an independent. He's going
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to stick to Republicans. He's going to stick to MAGA. Okay,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: if MAGA is still the dominant force in the Republican Party.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, Tucker Carlson was one of the people who
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: wanted Donald Trump to choose JD. Vance as his running mate.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So just because he sided on Trump doesn't mean he's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: jumped off the MAGA trains. So Democrats, y'all got what
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you need?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Okay. Tucker said he was wrong. Tucker said he misled
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the people.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Y'all should be clipping that up and getting it ready
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: for attack ads and all the upcoming elections. Because anyone
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Tucker endorses that's an opposition to your party. You can
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just put that clipping campaign ads and say, are you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: really going to listen to someone who got it so wrong? Okay?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Are you really going to listen to someone who got
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it so wrong before? Simple way to discredit those big
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: conservative voices that will still be big conservative voices, you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: know in the midterm. I'm saying in twenty twenty eight, Okay,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: just a little political warfare, all right, And Tucker gave
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you a great weapon if you clip it right now.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Listen, here's the reason Tuckyer is getting donky of today.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He said, and I quote, I want to say, I'm
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional, That's all
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I say. Can I hear that, and I won't.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Say I'm sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: that's all same.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Let me hear one more time, and I.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Won't say I'm sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: That's all same.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You said in private messages you hated Trump, okay, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all was Furthermore, if you apologize what you did, if
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you said sorry for supporting him what you did, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you can't say in the same breath it was not intentional. Okay, See, Tucker,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure this wasn't your first time voting for Trump.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you voted for him all three times. You
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: gave him full throat of the yum yum gum gum endorsements. Okay,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't say it wasn't intentional. There was no surprises with
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. You even acknowledged that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I understand people who got calm because he said he
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: would fix the economy on day one. I understand people
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: who got conned because he said he would be the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: anti war president. But you also knew that he led
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: an attempt to cool his country on January sixth, twenty
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: twenty one. You knew he called to terminate parts of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the Constitution over his lie that the twenty twenty election
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: was stolen. You know you knew that, Okay. Okay, you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: know that you intentionally endorsed a convicted felon of low character,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: as you put it, okay, thirty four counts of falsifying
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: business records in the first degree. You would never support
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a Democrat with that, okay, And you certainly wouldn't support
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a Democrat who was found liable in civil court for
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: sexual abuse and defamation. So don't say you didn't intentionally
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: mislead people in regard to Trump, because if you turn
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a blind eye to all of that and much much
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: much more. Okay, I don't have time to get into
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: all the other reasons I could bring it up, bring up,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but if you turned the blind eye to all of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that in order to support Trump, it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Was absolutely intentional. Okay, So own it, own it all,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: A sincere apology requires taking full responsibility for actions without excuses. Okay,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: sincere apology, you own the action, you express regret, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: acknowledge the impact of what it is you did. You
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: take responsibility, and you make amends and guess what you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: have to be intentional about it? Please give Tucker Carlson
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the biggesty hull.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you for that dun kid today, Yes, ma'am. Now,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: when Kenya Barris was up here, he was talking about
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: his kids, and he's talking about his perspective changed on
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: some of the things that his kids we're talking about.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Let's listen, what's something else your kids challenge you on
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that made you rethink your perspective?
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Cursing? My kids they curse. They don't curse at me,
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: but they're like you know what I'm saying, or like
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: you hear, and I'm just like a part of me
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: is like I'm actually happier that they really not being
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: themselves around me, you know what I'm saying. But I
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: never would curse around my mom, like you know, cursing
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: around my kids, Like I want them to be more
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: of themselves around you know what I'm saying. Like my sons.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I've caught them a couple of times, like I call drinking,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, And I'm like, they'll get
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: in trouble, but I'm like, if you're gonna do this,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: please at least let me know what's going on. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: think that for me was the difference of like how
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: we grew up compared to like my kids tell me
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: the bad stuff that they do, and I kind of
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: have to like eat it a little bit.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: All right. So eight hundred five eight five one oh
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: five to one. What is something that your kids challenge
• 8:28
