Flying SquidJoe Rogan Praises ‘No-Nonsense’ Tucker Carlson, Predicts ‘He Could Win’ The Presidency in 2028
ChihuahuaOfDoomTucker Fucking Carlson? If he runs I hope John Stewart runs against him.
Respectfully, no. We don’t need more media personalities running for office. It’s too much of a popularity contest as it is. Jon Stewart is intelligent and cares deeply about his chosen issues, but that doesn’t mean he’d make a good (or willing) president. Tucker Carlson is just a boob.
I want a boring-ass presidential candidate with good solid policies and a willingness to take the long view (as in what’s best in the long term for the country, not necessarily what will get them re-elected). I don’t care if they’re cool or charismatic.
IchNichtenLichtenSadly elections are a popularity contest so being an already known media personality is a massive head start over someone eminently qualified and capable, but unknown. If we have to pick a media personality, I’d go with Stewbeef.
I would pay actual money to watch those debates.
You wouldn’t have to, bowtie bitch wouldn’t show up he’s scared shitless of John Stewbeef. The fucker literally stopped wearing bowties entirely after Stewart made fun of him for doing it.
It was probably also that point that Tucker decided to start hating the Jews.
RotaryKeyboardI wonder how much it costs to get Joe Rogan to say both “No-nonsense” and “Tucker Carlson” in the same sentence.
$200 million from Spotify.
OverzeetopI hate to admit it but, yeah, Id sell you all out for 200M. I’d feel bad about it, though.
Lucz1848I’m going to need the precise definition of ‘No-Nonsense’, as it is being used in this context.
dillTucker Carlson is exclusively nonsense
only if joe rogan runs as VP. winning combo for sure. /s
PoggervaniaWhat’s sad is that a lot of right-wingers would actually support that combo.
Meanwhile Vermin Supreme continues to languish as a presidential candidate.
Check out the Podcast Knowledge Fight. They’ve been going over Tucker Carlson’s podcast…and holy fuck, Carlsons gone off the deepend. Now that he don’t have a team of writers, you get to see this dingus’s true colors, and trust me, they are dark.
Hey, he definitely still has writers. They’re on loan from Ms. Johnson’s 8th grade creative writing class but… They’re putting words on cue cards and that’s what counts.
I don’t know why people listen to him. He acts like he’s talking to children. It’s so dismissive.
Because they’re children.
snooggumsTucker is focusing on the low end of the bell curve.
The bell end
Lifecoach5000Seconded. After hearing their specific breakdowns of his “show” it’s laughable even Rogan would make that kind of statement. Well who am I kidding? It’s fucking Rogan so nm
What are some examples of his deep-endedness?

Check out the podcast. They go over Tuckers entire episode and break it down. Plus, it’s just a fun listen.
His other episodes defend white supremacy, support Robert F Kenney Jr., and his most recent one attacks trans people.
#816: Tucker, The Man And His Twitter- Episode 1 • Knowledge Fight - Podcast Addict
Today, Dan and Jordan conduct a trial run of seeing how it feels to cover Tucker Carlson's new show on Twitter. In this installment, Tucker covers Ukrainian dams, tautologies, and how the media doesn't care enough about UFOs.
I really want to listen to this pod, but my podcast time is usual for silly, fun things.
I’m glad this exists, but I’m never in a headspace for it
They’re actually pretty upbeat and fun. They start the first 15 minutes talking about the bright spots of their week. It’s also generally pretty funny which some more serious moments. You should really check it out.
I mean, he COULD win. Right wing people like him and if you win the Republican nomination you’re roughly 50/50 to be the president. Plus he can’t do his old job until January 2025 and working anywhere but Fox just condemns him to the post-Fox life of Bill O’Reilly or Glenn Beck, hardly cultural forces anymore.
But I suspect there’s a reason we haven’t had opinion TV show hosts as president before, I’m just 100% sure he has said disqualifying things over his time in the spotlight.
If I was him I’d do the Mitt Romney, find a deep red state with a Senator opening and live there. Probably takes a couple years of schmoozing with the party leaders if you’re not already a local hero like Romney was, but it’s doable.
are we ready to admit that Joe Rogan is basically just a right wing podcaster now or are we going to continue this stupid dance of "no he's just a centrist telling it like it is"
“Just asking questions”
Politics aside, of the few times I’ve heard him speak, he doesn’t seem too smart.
【J】【u】【s】【t】【Z】Watch his episode with Bernie or Cornell West. Every sentence blows the dudes mind because he’s so stupid and has never thought of an issue for more than 0.003 seconds before reaching a conclusion.
Agreed. And it’s not a new thing, either.
A 'centrist telling it like it is' always ends up being a right wing asshole lying about their intentions.
NielsBohronIt’s just like all those conservatives that “left” the GOP because they don’t want to be associated with Trump and called racists. The problem is, they still all vote pure Republican down the ticket and support regressive and racist policies, so did they really leave the GOP, or are they just arguing in bad faith?
And actually, I’d argue that they’re making the problem worse, because that leaves the GOP primaries in the hands of the nut jobs that like the way the party is headed…
I think the ‘enlightened centrist’ is born when an adult takes an interest in politics for the first time. It’s natural for someone ignorant to see the extremes as scary. The problem is that the right is better prepared to guide this neophyte into reactionary politics without ever challenging the “centrist” identity. Politics in conservative spaces are never “right”, “reactionary”, or “regressive”, they’re just common-sense ideas, that everybody knows, and totally make sense when you think about it. (There’s also a huge helping of edge-lord humor to desensitize the centrist to ideals that would be appalling if people weren’t “being ironic”. )
So as they drift farther and farther to the right, the only people to challenge the “neutral” identity are on the left, who appear to be attacking a reasonable person; with mainstream ideals; just asking questions.
This is where the “I don’t always agree with the right, but the left are a bunch of crazy jerks” mantra comes from.

Scratch a centrist and a fascist bleeds.
Has anyone actually watched a Tucker Carlson episode? I mean a full episode and not curated clips that show up in your social media feed. A full episode where you listened to the whole thing from start to finish.
ExcursionInversionWork trips with my boss. I felt like I was living in another world.
MagnorAre you insane ? That would definitely violate the Geneva convention.
We’ve known who and what he is for decades. I don’t need to listen to the latest iteration of his bullshit to make an assessment.
Who is “we” ?
Anyone who’s been paying attention.
He’s been the same piece of shit since at least 2004 when Jon Stewart embarrassed him into changing his wardrobe.
So the answer is no you haven’t.
You got me.
I haven’t watched a complete, unedited episode of Tucker Carlson’s latest streaming show on Twitter and instead based my opinion of him on the last several decades of his shows, books, and public statements. Maybe he’s not a disingenuous hack in this one, and I’m missing out on some actual, hard-hitting journalism.
Somehow, I doubt it.
Well, you might be surprised. Part of reconciling your difference with the other 50% of the country that doesn’t agree with you is being willing to listen to the media they consume. I don’t agree 100% with conservative media at all. Hell no. But part of my journey on figuring out what is going on involves at least giving the opposition a chance to speak. If you are set in your ways I understand and you will do what you feel is right.
I just want people to at least entertain the opportunity that maybe… just maybe they should look at things a little further before they declare half their neighbors to be the enemy.
I didn’t say half my neighbors are the enemy. I said Tucker Carlson is a disingenuous hack and a piece of shit, and I stand by that assessment.
Being open minded is good advice, but maybe more relevant to the people trying to ban books and overturn elections than the people who aren’t interested in watching your favorite nepo-baby whine on Twitter. I’ve got better ways to spend my time than giving him attention.
The right have been calling the left unamerican satanists for decades. So don’t give me shit about who thinks about people who disagree with them as enemies.
Well I certainly understand your position and I thank you for your time.
Do I need to watch an entire show to know that the clips of Tucker Carlson saying things like white supremacist rhetoric and support of Andrew Tate and Alex Jones make him a horrible person? What more do I have to gain from watching his bigotry?
Why would that be necessary? I watch shows where, if you cut out segments from it and presented it to me, i wouldnt think “what a xenophobic, transphobic, racist piece of shit”.
I mean what are you even trying to suggest? That the segments become real humanitarian once you watch them back to back?
This has always been such a stupid argument in defense of people that are obviously pieces of shit. No, I dont need to read the collected works of jordan peterson to understand he sucks, and I dont need to waste my time watching an entire episode of “minute-of-hate daily” to understand Tucker is a cryptofascist
The only reason that child-toucher Carlson (I keep hearing he touches children; I’m only asking questions) even got the job is because he was the only person available that day when the previous one left. The position all but fell in his lap, without any qualifications.
The distance between him and Trump could be measured with a micrometer.
I would never want to live in a world where Tucker Carlson is president. Ugh…
I remember when Joe was a harmless idiot that had some fun.
Rather than a right wing crackpot.
I always thought it was weird when he said you needed to listen to all types of media like Fox as well as MSNBC. I was like, you can listen to neither of those things … Let’s not forget Fox got sued for libel/slander in the Dominion case as well. So it’s not another opinion or side that Fox is on, it’s outright propaganda.
I was into his clips on YouTube for a short while before the vaccine and the Spotify deal. Even back then the algorithm decided to pipeline culture war bullshit into your feed in an attempt to radicalize you to alt right bullshit.
When I was on Reddit I kept looking at his subreddit to amuse myself with the ignorant stupidity and the insecure overcompensating of the commenters.

I think there’s value in being exposed to other media sources outside your circle but it’s extremely tough to take Fox with anything less than a bucket of salt.
I occasionally see articles from them and they’re poorly written, clearly leaving important parts out, and have random clearly biased editorial asides. Like “Joe Biden, who experts have heavily criticized” but never saying which experts or what criticism
I fucking hate that people are like FOX news or MSNBC, as though they are two sides of a coin.
MSNBC might be left leaning, but FOX is straight up crazy lies and bullshit.
It’s like saying you could eat brussel sprouts or diarrhea. You know either or…
Joe Rogan was fine before 2016. How times change.
Was he though? He used to believe the moon landings were fake.
edgarallenpwnI had a family member try to get me to listen in 13 and even then it was bullshit. I really never listened to it but I’m guessing it just became more blatant as time moved on
Yeah the fact that he kept saying Alex Jones "was a good friend" and what Alex was doing was "a bit" made me turn him off back in 2015.
I listened a little bit when he interviewed Clarence the mushroom guy? I’m sure somebody can make sense of that. Lol. How he presented then was that he was a meathead that just wanted to understand and was willing to ask the dumb questions. I heard some of his other stuff around that time and it followed that same feeling. Heck, I even watched the Elon musk interview when he smokes pot. He was never bright or understood anything well enough to honestly judge that he took a side (he’s been hit in the head a lot) but hearing what he’s saying now is crazy. He probably still doesn’t understand that he’s taken a side. He probably is just within the target audience of Fox News and there have been studies about its efficiency in delivering propaganda in a way that you need professional help to counter. He’s just another useful idiot. That’s how that side works apparently.
just a while ago i bumped into a tweet by elon musk recommending a carlson video.
and now this? what’s happening.
i mean, both these dudes have always been a bit out there, but htf can they not see all the absolute, nutty, trashy, debilitating bullshittery that carlson spouts?
