As a Brit, hearing Boris Johnson wanted $1 million for an interview is the least surprising thing I’ve ever heard 🤣

[BuddAyye]

"What you want is drama, not wisdom."

Whew, what a tragic truth of our world.

[Itwasntalieitwastrueinmymind]

The fact that people feel you shouldn’t talk to certain people is insane.

[michaelsparks]

I couldn't stand Tucker Carlson when he was working at FOX, but once he was fired and he came into his own, everything about Tucker changed for the better. Tucker Carlson might still be a little goofy, but he found a place in my heart. He's strikes me as honest and forthcoming with his reporting. No more spinning his story to satisfy someone else narrative because they sign his paycheck. Now Tucker can
tell it only how he sees it with no political agenda.

“Anybody who doesn’t hate war shouldn’t have power” 🎯

[domakesaythink]

half a million views in 6 hours. Independent media is the mainstream, Lex is great

[Adogsmate]

Your opening statement is why I'm here, my man. Keep it straight and honest. Open speech, no-one knows anyone until they speak, then we can draw our lines. Very good job.

[war]

Honestly I was listening to this without having looked at who the guest was and Tucker Carlson is way more palatable in this format. He should be like this more.

[krsmedley]

“Men will do nothing until they have to, and then they’ll do absolutely anything.” So true.

[Cygesx]

Lex, you need to give your audio guy a pay increase. This is one of the best sounding podcasts. I’ve come across in a long time.

[NHumpBack]

Lex you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone. You’re a national treasure don’t ever change.

[no-mzie]

Tucker is a great speaker, with a good vocabulary. His experiences have given him some great quotes too.

[Woofwoof]

This is absolutely the only way important interviews should be done. No commercials, no censorship. Just long for and let them speak.

[meesh]

Thanks for wanting to interview everyone. Not just someone who you agree with

[AhhTheGreekGames]

If not watching it I wouldn’t have known it was Tucker Carlson. I’ve never listened to what he had to say but thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Thank you.

[kelliefreedman]

Love you Tucker. Keep the conversation going forever. Lex u rock

[musakphil]

Tucker is right about having kids. I am pretty mediocre. A maintenance guy for a local school district. My family is everything. My job is fine, but my family is my sense of pride.

[apriot]

Lex, you talk to whoever the Hell you want to talk to... People have died for your right to do so. This is coming from an Army veteran (in CA no less). I enjoy your intellect and your show.

[newops]

Tucker is one of those mfers man. Cannot be replaced. And he is as much a thought leader as he is a philosopher. He cares deeply for our country and sees the decay and degradation and moral vacuum that exists and not only points it out but provides solutions in a manner that is simple and can be applied topically.
