Tucker Carlson Apologizes for Endorsing Trump — The View

[0:00] This will come as an interesting surprise to everyone. [0:03] Do you know who just lost one of his biggest supporters [0:06] over the ongoing war in Iran? [0:10] Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson says he regrets [0:13] ever helping to put you-know-who in the White House. [0:19] Take a look. [0:20] You and I and everyone else who supported him, [0:23] you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. [0:25] I mean, we're implicated in this for sure. [0:27] Yes. [0:28] It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind, [0:31] or like, oh, this is bad, I'm out. [0:33] It's like, in very small ways, but in real ways, [0:38] you and me and millions of people like us [0:40] are the reason this is happening right now. [0:42] Yes. [0:43] So I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. [0:50] You know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time. [0:53] I will be. [0:54] And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people. [0:58] It was not intentional. [0:59] Oh. [1:00] Oh, please. [1:01] Whatever. [1:02] I don't believe him. [1:04] He's not getting a bear hug from me. [1:06] I don't think, you know, the world's on fire, [1:09] and you can't just say oopsies. [1:11] And the reason that I don't believe him [1:13] is that remember when Fox News parted ways with him [1:16] because of a $787 million settlement over Dominion, [1:21] over those voting machines, remember that whole scandal? [1:23] Well, during that litigation in 2021, [1:27] he texted someone and said that he hated Trump passionately. [1:31] And then two years later, he said, I'm voting for Trump. [1:34] And then in 2024, he endorsed him for president. [1:39] So now, all of a sudden, 2021, you hated him. [1:42] And now, all of a sudden, you want me to forgive you for this situation? [1:46] No thank you, Tucker Carlson. [1:47] Well, you know, Sonny, no thank you. [1:49] You know, again, you have to cut him some slack. [1:53] He has what they call liar's remorse. [1:55] And also, the January 6th attack- [1:58] He's a little tired today, y'all. [1:59] You know, the January, remember the January 6th attack? [2:01] Yeah, yeah. [2:02] He called them tourists. [2:03] Yes, he did. [2:04] And he described them as meek and orderly. [2:07] They were violent, if you remember it. [2:09] It was not a Buddhist monk convention, okay? [2:12] Right. [2:12] They were not meek and orderly. [2:14] So he has lied about everything. [2:16] Consistently. [2:16] So he needs to just make a whole list of all the things [2:19] that he got wrong and not just he's- [2:21] Well, and- [2:21] Sorry. [2:22] Tucker Carlson- [2:22] I want to hear every single thing he said. [2:24] Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly will say anything they have to, [2:28] any point in the day for clicks and money, [2:31] and it does not matter what they're saying. [2:33] Correct, yes, Sarah. [2:34] Literally, Tucker recently hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes [2:38] and pushed back like zero times almost [2:41] on really problematic views. [2:44] He also interviewed Russian President Putin, [2:46] let him spread propaganda, and did not push back. [2:49] He interviewed podcaster Daryl Cooper, [2:51] allowing claims that Nazis lacked intent. [2:54] In the Holocaust, Tucker Carlson will literally do say anything [2:59] for money, for clicks, for power. [3:01] That man just needs to disappear. [3:03] Yep. [3:04] Couldn't have said it better myself. [3:06] Listen, there's genuine, I learned something, some remorse. [3:10] I want to kind of figure out what I was misled by. [3:12] I put Marjorie Taylor Greene in that category, [3:14] even though I still have a lot of questions for her. [3:16] Tucker Carlson, who I kind of knew back in the day [3:19] when he once wanted to be more like a George Will, [3:21] like a thinking man's conservative, [3:23] he then turned into something that I would say is vile. [3:26] I would say that it's dangerous. [3:27] He traffics in anti-Semitism, in open racism. [3:30] If you listen to clips, conspiracy theories left and right, [3:33] and I don't think this is a true about-face. [3:36] He's like, wow, I really made a mistake on Donald Trump. [3:38] No way. [3:38] He's come after people, by the way, [3:40] who have criticized Trump and learned [3:42] and realized I shouldn't have been with him. [3:43] I think it's about clicks and money. [3:45] Unlike the mainstream media [3:46] where there are certain levels of standards, [3:48] there's legal, there's facts. [3:49] He couldn't hack it in the mainstream media. [3:50] He goes where the clicks go. [3:51] Yeah, he goes where the clicks go. [3:52] And by the way, he is extraordinarily powerful. [3:54] A lot of people listen to him. [3:55] That doesn't mean he's right or what he says. [3:57] This pathological need for relevancy [4:00] is like a psychological disorder [4:02] that they get off of the stage [4:05] and they can't be in the world. [4:06] They're often escorted off the stage. [4:08] But they can't be in the world like a regular person. [4:10] And by the way, this comes on the heels, [4:12] sorry, I just want to say. [4:12] That's all right, baby. [4:13] Of Donald Trump attacking him. [4:14] So just earlier, just a few earlier this month, [4:17] he basically said, like, I don't care about Tucker. [4:19] I don't like him. [4:19] I'm not bringing him back to the White House. [4:21] I'm paraphrasing. [4:22] And then he turns on him. [4:23] Yeah. [4:24] Well, now he's sorry. [4:25] Look, and anybody, [4:26] anybody who can't explain what they mean, [4:30] I wanted him to explain the great replacement theory. [4:35] Yeah, that would have been good. [4:35] Because I wanted to understand. [4:37] So you're living next to your white neighbors, right? [4:42] And you've had, you know, you're barbecuing, [4:44] you're hanging out, you're doing stuff. [4:46] You go to bed, you say goodnight, you say goodnight. [4:48] You wake up the next day [4:49] and there's black people living next door [4:51] saying they are the people who were your neighbors. [4:54] Is that how that works? [4:55] Yeah, I don't know. [4:56] Because how, if so many people were being replaced, [4:59] how come nobody knew? [5:00] Yeah, I don't know. [5:01] Why didn't anybody report it? [5:03] White folks missing. [5:04] A lot, a lot, a lot of that. [5:07] You know, what, what, and so. [5:09] Did Tucker Carlson, was he part of this, [5:11] putting out the great replacement theory out? [5:13] Yes, he was, yes, he was. [5:14] Well, and a lot of that hinges on this notion [5:16] that's not based in fact [5:17] that there's this extremely widespread voter fraud [5:20] that's being committed. [5:20] That's usually what it goes back to. [5:21] Well, then there's that too, but you keep. [5:23] But again, facts matter. [5:25] Yeah, facts do matter. [5:25] And it clicks on the internet shouldn't be what matters. [5:26] And so stuff like that, you know, [5:28] once he started with that, [5:29] I couldn't talk to him [5:29] because he couldn't explain it. [5:31] If you can't explain it to me, [5:32] I'm not listening to your ass.
