Explosive Tucker Carlson Interview | Full Breakdown [Lex Fridman]

I think the world is looking on at this

coming election and saying and a lot of

the world hates Trump okay it's not an

endorsement of trump but it's just true

if Joe Biden gets

reelected democracy is a freaking joke

hey everyone me Kevin here I just went

through Tucker Carl since 3our interview

with Lex fredman and in this video

you're going to get a full distillation

along with my opinion on some of the

most Salient Parts the most important

things let's start first I was surprised

that Tucker Carlson said he thought he

was well Putin was nervous when he sat

down with Tucker Carlson that Putin was

like a nervous student uh ready to

provide his version of History Tucker

suggested this was probably because a

lot of eyeballs were going to be on this

interview but Tucker also later in the

interview suggested that Putin has been

not surrounded by enough people Tucker

is a big fan you find this throughout

the entire interview so we'll just say

it once here Tucker is a big fan of

people being around people being around

perspective being told when he's wrong

having his opinions challenged believing

that there is a higher power believing

that nobody knows all the answers and

going as far as arguing and if you watch

the entire three-hour interview you'll

see that this is so consistent he goes

as far as arguing that we are

potentially becoming stupider thanks to

the access to technology that we have

today these were some really powerful

connections from this interview you you

think about that for a moment Tucker

talks about in the '90s thinking about a

future where we have access to all of

this information

but Tucker says that wisdom does not

come from having access to information

it comes from knowing what you do not

know and that could be even harder and

suggests that maybe what we're seeing in

South Korea for example where South

Korea is becoming obsessed with Western

technology Western social media what are

we finding higher suicide rate lower

birth rate and a lower standard of

living things that we're also seeing in

the United States why is this if

technology is so good

why are three quarter stones of how well

things are going in society suggesting

things are actually getting worse and

not better now he mentions very clearly

that he is a big fan of everybody having

children as soon as possible that is the

most pure form of creation that you

could possibly Express have children and

He suggests to the people who say well I

don't have the means to have a child he

gives a very strong argument he says and

he says this about men because he is a

man he says look I don't know about

women but when it comes to men unless

you are forced to do something you will

not do it and so when you have a child

you become responsible and you make it

happen this was a very interesting

argument it kind of sets the stage given

that a lot of that was discussed towards

the end of the interview it sets the

stage for how this interview went this

was a really open look into who Tucker

is as a person see Tucker was asked hey

were you afraid of going to Russia and

dying he said no I wasn't afraid of

dying in Russia I believe in God I

didn't drink the tea they

offered but I was not afraid going into

Russia I was more afraid actually of

coming back to the United States he says

he spent thousands of dollars on

attorneys to tell him and brief him that

he could be arrested for violations by

going to interview Putin and then coming

back he was more afraid that the America

he loves had become Twisted than being

arrested or killed in

Russia now it's worth noting that we go

a little bit deeper here into Tucker and

the spying on Tucker but we're on Putin

and we should stick to Putin for a

moment because that's where this

interview starts out and so we'll go a

bit more chronologically here Tucker

Carlson believes it is odd to suggest

that Ukraine is on the verge of winning

he believes that Ukraine is a tool for

corporations and politicians to line

their pockets and enrich themselves he

says that Boris Johnson demanded $

million to be interviewed by Tucker

Carlson now some might say that Boris

Johnson is just trying to blow off

Tucker

Carlson on the other hand people might

be scratching their head going hm t Tu

wants to confront Boris Johnson on why

Putin says Boris Johnson killed the

Ukrainian peace deal Tucker believes

that a lot of Institutions companies the

weaponization or IND military-industrial

complex it's all lining their pocket off

the backs of Ukrainian lives and Tak

believes that's disgusting and he also

believes the assertion that Ukraine is

close we just need to give them some

more money is ludicrous now I will say a

news organization that generally

supports the Biden Administration stance

the New York Times just ran a piece a

few days ago and I'm pointing this out

Tucker didn't point this out so I want

to be exceptionally clear what's a

Tucker argument and what's more of a

sort of a Kevin Point Kevin Point here

the New York Times runs a piece

surprisingly weak Ukrainian defensive

help Russian advance and they show here

trenches here entrenches here but

nothing in the middle and suggests this

sort of lops side or uneven defense

contributing to the loss of one

particular region all of this by the way

my full notes of the Tucker Carlson show

and this particular region we've talked

about this before in Ukraine uh all of

this is over on e.com I always like to

post my notes this right here was for

example an eack from February 19th where

I talked about the fall of this very

specific area my video on it some before

and after images and control so I do

this I always try to post information on

ec.com it's actually a great way for me

to organize my thoughts before I make my

videos and you're always welcome to use

that Source totally for free uh but

anyway they compare this to Russia's uh

trenches over here on the right cleanly

organized the Dragon's Teeth to stop

tanks from coming through anti-tank

ditches and very clear Russian

defenses whereas Ukraine's defenses

actually substantially weaker and this

kind of reiterates what Tucker says that

no maybe maybe Ukraine isn't actually

close anyway he expresses that he's sad

that Naval died he thinks that no

opposition leader should be in jail this

is not Freedom he does not at any point

claim that Russia is free or that Russia

has Free Speech but he does suggest hey

it's kind of ridiculous that for us to

go to a grocery store we have to step

over homeless people with pee and urine

on on the floor and frankly fentanyl

laced individuals drugged up individuals

and that people don't even feel safe in

America anymore so he's drawing this

contrast and I have to say as somebody

who ran for governor in California

during the recall election and it came

in second place with nearly a million

votes I have to say tucker is right here

our homeless problem is

solvable the problems in America are

solvable the issue is our priorities are

highly

misaligned now that's really a topic for

a different video let's keep going with

Tucker Carlson although if you do want

more of my opinions on finance we do

have an event coming up on June 21st

it's a finance Symposium Innovation

Finance real estate learn how to become

a millionaire through Finance real

estate just go to meetkevin.com learn

more about the event it's in Vegas so

you'll meet me and a ton of speakers

still to be announced in person June

21st to June 23rd continuing now tuer

Carlson says he met Snowden Edward

Snowden for dinner at his hotel room and

he didn't tell anybody about it but all

of a sudden semaphore runs a piece

breaking that Tucker Carlson met with

Snowden Tucker says how did they know

Tucker who acknowledges as well as other

media Outlets who have acknowledged that

the NSA has spied on Tucker Carlson

suggests that the NSA and maybe even the

CIA are still spying on Tucker Carlson

and he's told that there is no such

thing as a secure messaging platform

maybe it's secure from the mafia but not

from the government and the worst part

is all the spyware leads your phone

battery to die faster he's in

interjecting comedy here obviously but

then he gets serious he says how many of

these moral fights quote unquote moral

fights that we have like his example

black lives matter actually helped black

people did suicide rates go down for

blacks did the standard of living go up

for blacks did the median income go up

for blacks did Beauty in Society go up

did safety go up did cleanliness go up

after

BLM tuer Carlson says

no that you have whites perpetuating

this moral Victory and the reality is

the lives of blacks are not getting

better and so white people go on these

Crusades that don't actually improve the

standard of living for

anyone there's also this idea or at

least this idea that sanctions are not

destroying Russia if anything they're

making our issues in America worse

sanctions haven't crippled Russia at

least per um Tucker Carlson's point of

view goes to a grocery store

everything's readily available and

adjusted per exchange rates kind of

affordable at grocery stores maybe even

way more affordable than they are in

America so why is it that we're

sanctioning Russia when it's not working

or at least it's not affecting the

everyday individual that Russia still

has a wartime economy in other words a

functioning economy they seem to be fine

why are we doing this when all we're

really doing is driving the growth of

bricks Brazil Russia India China South

Africa to create their own currency and

dump the US dollar now side note this is

a Kevin note I'm a big believer that

it's going to be a while before the

dollar is no longer King but yes at some

point in the future all currencies do

collapse they're all essentially a riged

Ponzi and we just have to know the rules

of the those games and not touch

currencies I'm a big believer that the

best dollar to have is no dollar that

you should exchange that dollar for

assets that hopefully go up in time and

value and it doesn't matter what you

denominate your asset in it's still

going to have value whereas the actual

dollar gets printed away via inflation

okay moving on so Tucker is not wrong

about that one the effect of the

sanctions well those could be debated

obviously as far uh because quite

frankly if you looked at just as a quick

example and the Counterpoint to Tucker

Carlson if you looked at the uh Russian

airline industry you'll notice they're

falling apart they have resorted to

using planes they've taken out of

service to use parts to put into

existing planes that are still operating

but air safety is actually rapidly

degrading in Russia and it's only a

matter of time until there are more

commercial accidents because they don't

have access thanks to sanctions to the

proper replacement parts for boeings or

air buses or otherwise that's just an

example of a Counterpoint again I'm not

here to try to counter Tucker It's just

maybe you won't necessarily see the

impact of sanctions at a grocery store

and I just want to provide that

counterbalancing point of view that yes

there are other Industries you could

look at and say the exact opposite

Tucker argues that he doesn't trust the

internet instead he trusts what he sees

again his grocery store example uh he

thinks that most media is just a tool

for the American government uh he thinks

there are gross tax loopholes like

carried interest and we're creating

chaos in the world off the backs of

ukrainians touched on that already

before he called George W bush a

for leaving when the Pentagon was

attacked uh on

911 uh leaving to essentially a

protected Camp under the guidance of the

Secret Service he argued that uh we have

to Define what a Nazi is because for

Putin to make this what Tucker Carlson

calls a childish claim that we need to

denn naify Ukraine well hold on a second

while Nazism can evoke racism and evil

and and uh you know well essentially

emotion we have to Define what a Nazi is

today otherwise we're never going to

solve this war how okay let's let's

negotiate let's get rid of all the Nazis

okay which ones how do we Define them

this is an interesting argument that

Tucker Carlson makes he also suggests

that kamla Harris told Ukraine that they

could join NATO uh I did pull up the

White House point of view on this and I

understand each of these are going to be

biased right Tucker doesn't like the

White House the White House doesn't like

Tucker vice versa but I do think it's

very interesting uh and so I posted this

on ec.com as well I posted a snippet

here uh and the vice president KL Harris

responds to the idea of uh the desire of

Ukraine to join NATO and this is kamla

Harris's response well I'll put that in

context because it's obvious at this

point which is that and therefore no

other country can tell anyone whether

they should or should not join NATO they

should be that should be their

independent choice that is the point of

sovereignty so I respect zelinsky's

desire to be a member of NATO NATO is a

membership it's about Nations coming

together as a group making decisions

collectively blah blah blah it doesn't

happen overnight notice In fairness to

kentucker Carlson here at no point does

kamla Harris reject the idea of

Ukrainian nship membership in NATO

instead K Harris per the White House's

own

website suggest H well we we can all

collectively talk about it there's no

rejection of the idea that Ukraine

should join NATO and this happened in

February of 2022 right before Russia's

invasion of Ukraine so I have to say if

I have to pick a side here Tucker is

probably more right in

saying kamla Harris essentially invited

uh Ukraine to join NATO because there

was certainly not a clear closed door

here which previously there had been

interesting anyway continuing on uh he

talked a little bit about uh there being

a lag in how there was were translat and

maybe a lack of chemistry in the

interview because of that and of course

maybe he could have asked you know

harder questions but he can have then

quickly transition to this idea of look

I don't really care what other people

think about me I spend time with my

family nature and my values he says I

love Elon but I don't spend time on

social he thinks that Western technology

is debilitating and that you're a

megalomaniac if you're constantly

looking to see what other people think

about you online that your like your

desire to be liked by people who don't

know you is delusional this was very

interesting and very relatable actually

as a content creator on social media

it's very easy and I know this feeling

very well it's very easy to get absorbed

in what other people and what Society

thinks of you when only you know your

own truth and I have to say I I love

that idea I think that was actually a

very good point of view by Tucker

Carlson tuer Carlson says that we need

to live a life of reproduction sobriety

and and uh better life expectancy that's

how you measure success in society and

that he's concerned that those things

aren't happening now and he's also

concerned about how AI could maybe even

if there's just a 15% chance take over

Society uh or potentially that we're

messing with people's brains by

suggesting we should be Implement imple

implanting chips into people's brains

that there's a magic and and uh sort of

this arcan of brain that should be left

untouched

okay there are arguments here on both

sides a quick counterargument might be

should we not help somebody let's say

with cerebral poliy who could benefit

from having a chip implant in their

brain and actually then become a normal

acting member of society there are going

to be arguments on both sides of this

Tucker Carlson did respond to the Donald

Trump text messages Tucker's argument is

that he was mad that Trump was making

all of these claims Tucker wanted to

substantiate these claims but all the

people around Trump were so incompetent

and that they brought him bad evidence

like giving him names of people who were

still alive when they said they were

dead and voted information directly from

their campaign that frustrated Tucker

Carlson so Tucker said yes I was mad he

also says yes I have lied I don't want

to be a liar I don't want to be known as

a liar I make mistakes and I think

Tucker is actually very reasonable for

arguing what he does here I know that

time he is talking about and it was a

very frustrating time now Tucker then

goes further and says that the election

was rigged Tucker believes that when you

censor information about Co you affect

the way people vote when you change the

way people vote with more vote by mail

potentially ballot harvesting or

otherwise you change the way elections

are held and Tucker says people need

Fair access to information and today He

suggests that the 2024 election is a

referendum on Biden that Biden is senile

and he won't win unless the election is

rigged now I want to be very clear this

is Tucker Carlson's point of view of

course there's a likelihood that about

half of Americans watching this believe

that that is inappropriate but this is

Tucker Carlson's point of view Lex

counters and says what if he's just

getting old and Tucker says Biden is the

leader of America it's important for a

leader to be able to lead and the fact

that marago could be raided over a

documents charge is crazy especially

when the sitting president had the same

charge He suggests that Nikki Haley is

weak and that Society should not let her

Advance he says he has enormous interest

in interviewing zean ping and that Joe

Rogan has changed media and Tucker

wishes he had a resume like Rogan going

from Fear Factor to Comedy to the

Forefront of media he thinks that Joe

Rogan is a very curious person like

Larry King was he also goes then into

relationships and suggests he could

never be happier that he's been with his

wife for 40 years and one of the ways

he's been able to do that is his wife

doesn't care about his job he thinks

having that separation is actually very

important and that there's a humility in

accepting reality that you don't control

everything both good and bad that there

is luck and that there is Misfortune and

recognizing that is recognizing humility
