Tucker Carlson is admired by white nationalists, elected officials, and maybe some of your relatives or coworkers. Given that he has the ear of so many Americans, John Oliver explains where Tucker came from, what his rhetorical tactics are, and what he represents.

FOX News has literally argued in court that Tucker Carlson shouldn't be taken seriously.
..does his base know that fact, I wonder?...
@@FlawlesSanshiro His base wouldn't care if they did.
@Andrew Sokolowski The Oxford University doctoral graduate?
@Charles Wow. That was quick. Case in point.
@Andrew Sokolowski I love that the best Whataboutist counterpoint to a criticism of Tucker Carlson made by John Oliver is to bring up points against an entirely different person. It's, like, a level better than an ad hominem attack against Oliver; that logical fallacy would've at least seemed germane.
*Daily reminder: Fox News won a court case by arguing that no "reasonable viewer" should be taking Tucker Carlson's show seriously. In other words, Fox News literally argued that Tucker Carlson's show is fake news. The irony is fucking insane!!!!*
Where’s the source?
That was Alex Jones NOT Tucker Carlson
@@kevinkev9996 idk about Alex Jones but Tucker Carlson definitely had a lawsuit and his lawyers argued that

Mmmm 👨🍳 🤌
Lmao missed the point completely 😂😂
@Rob Neeth omg another Matt Walsh/Ben Shapiro red pill-er with cherry picked stats. Owned us. Why do you think conservatives are always on the wrong side of history? Maybe there’s a clue in the name?
I ran back to this the minute I heard Fox fired Tucker. I remember watching this when it came out... and now I needed to watch it again to celebrate.
And nothing of value was lost.
I came back to do the same. 😂🎉
Yeah
I definitely did the same lol 🥂🥂
Same. And to express, even if not the main story, I really want John to talk about this firing next show
Oh the irony. Tucker says his show is nothing but the truth whereas FOX in court has argued that "no intelligent person would actually believe Tucker Carlson".
Do you have a source on that? Sounds hilarious
I would also enjoy watching that
YESSS!!! WE NEED TO SPREAD THAT FACT!!

LOL! It’s true! No intelligent person would waste time watching him.
"dismantle the system of opression" Tucker: "dismantle the american system??" Well Tucky boy, thanks for admitting it.
Oppression just seems to follow you pansies everywhere
@@newb431 and staying offended seems to be in your DNA.
@@skyleradams5566 Sounds like you're offended by this "oppressive" system to the point where you keep on (lying) talking about it. Erasing criminals and substantial societal burdens that keep on infringing upon others whenever they receive the chance event though they've been given opportunity to participate in society, ISN'T oppression. Also, nice racist dog whistle there. DNA is not a route you want to go down.
@@SerenityM54L2SAM5L5N1 yes, you're not being oppressed. Thanks for admitting.
@@SerenityM54L2SAM5L5N1 Of course yet again those classic right-wing fallacies sprinkled with some projection to justify your position. "Erasing" criminals, societal "burdens", "DNA is not a route you want to go down", "nice racist dog whistle"... When you do this do you think people lack cognitive ability? Are you this disconnected from reality? People can see crystal clear through you.
We better take John Oliver seriously. The man's choice of topics is impeccable.
Yeah, like "Timeshares" and "Homeowners Associations"; so relevant to the 99%.
@@ecamp6360 I mean… those are directly relevant to ~10% and and 27% of Americans respectively. And… there's the 'rents' and 'homelessness' topics…
He is a British Jew who hides his real name. John Oliver is a non-Jewish that he picked to deceive naive Americans. He was a failure in UK because everyone knows who he is. He gets extra cash from the Democrats to periodically do hit pieces that take down people that Democrats are scared of.
I'll never get tired of John dunking on Tucker Carlson.
Tucker: I speak the truth. Fox news lawyers: No one reasonable would take Tucker seriously.
and that's the ticket...
They said the exact same thing about Adolf Hilter in the late 1920's and early 30's... And we got Nazi Germany.
@@JubeiKibagamiFez thats legit how rachel madow won her defamation lawsuit
Isn't there a interview with Hannity also. And he basically says, his viewers are smart enough to know his show is opinion based.
I'm surprised that he didn't cover this point.
Little disappointed John didn't bring up that fox lawyers literally argued that Tucker is not a news reporter and his words shouldn't be taken as fact
Or that his head writer for years turning out to be a nazi.
wouldn't that apply to John too?
@@galomateo1 Yeah, and that is what this show tells us: "Breaking news, on a weekly basis. Comedian John Oliver satirically covers the week in news, politics and current events in this Emmy-winning variety series."
The problem is all the news channels do that. Rachel Maddow did the same thing when she said someone was “literally” a Russian agent, got sued and the defense was she is an opinion show and shouldn’t be taken as fact either. And that’s just one example. The most watched news shows aren’t news they are opinions. And plz don’t take this as defending tucker, or an attack on Rachel I am merely pointing out the masses in general don’t get real news and that’s why we all get so divided
@@galomateo1 John has actually said in interviews that he isn't news. He said that he just presents facts from various news sources, and those sources are the ones that should be looked at for news.
Crazy to watch this today as it was announced Tucker was removed from the network! (They say mutual decision, but if that was the case, they definitely would have given him a last show/episode.)
That last show of his was absolutely unhinged.
It’s amazing to see this after Tucker Carlson got booted out of Fox News.
What’s not amazing is his dick riders defending him and now hating on Fox cuz “tUcKer WaS ThE ReAsOn I EveN WaTchEd FoX!”
Quit yapping you Jew
I will never forget when John described Tucker as 'as if the sound 'Thud' grew a body'.
I loved the "human boat shoe"!
I remember that and still can't think of a more fitting description
wasn't it if the word thud grew a face?
thucker can learn how bad he is from John if he pays attention, yea, not!!!
John also said that the answer to the question “Who would you have dinner with, dead or alive?” Would be “Tucker Carlson, dead.”
"If someone's liberation upsets you, there's a good chance that you were benefiting from their oppression."
Nah, there’s just a good chance they didn’t need to be “liberated” and the agenda has nothing to do with expanding freedom, but rather constricting the freedom of the nation’s founders.
That's a nice quote, where's it from?
What liberation are you talking about? Open borders? This isn’t the 1960s anymore everyone has the same rights in the United States.
@@Daniel-ye3tm It's so cute that you believe that.
@@chevelleman88 So, your opinion is that the 13th and 14th amendments were about restricting the rights of the long dead signers of the Declaration of Independence to enslave people?! Well, tell us how you really feel.
I'm glad John Oliver did this segment. I feel strongly that we, as a diverse nation, must either rise together or we will fall apart. This "us versus them" mindset hurts the nation as a whole. Otherwise, we are trying to compete as a world-power with one hand tied behind our backs.
Well said, Mary: It’s a diversionary tactic to create racial division, when the wealth inequality gap is the true crime taking place. Eat the rich.

I love watching this again today. John Oliver is way ahead of our times! # traitorTucker #lostfriendsoverthis
#CraitorCuck
If you lost friends over Tucker Carlson, they were not good friends to begin with. If they were so stupid to believe anything he empty headed wonders and rages against then they were going to believe something dumb over you eventually.
You shouldn't lose friends over politics... They were never your friends to begin with.
L friend, W commenter
Tucker always looks like he's confused why black people are allowed to move into his neighborhood
He is permanently confused. Possibly dropped on his head whilst he was an infant.
*allowed to live in America.
Tucker is the 50s with a little sizzle of extra propaganda
Or why are they allowed to move at all...
Or why women are able to vote.
Tucker: "Unregulated mass immigration has badly hurt this nations natural landscape." *Native americans has entered the conversation.*
Shhhhh! Not so loud someone will hear you!
Tucker would probably ask for a definition of what “we think native Americans are” and talk over whoever is willing to give it.
I thought exactly that.
So... you agree with him? I understand what you're getting at, however aren't you also implying that immigration, to a "replacing" degree, will cause harm to the "replaced". If I understand correctly, you state that, harm to the perpetrator is poetic revenge of some sorts, but if you do so, then you do agree to the premise that immigration to the rather vague degree he was referring to, does in fact come with that consequence. Premise 1: mass immigration is bad to the natives of that country Premise 2: bad things ought to be avoided Conclusion: avoid mass immigration. You argument implie:" yes, it has happened before!" Just sayin If I missunderstood, please correct
Yeah compare the 15th century to the 21st century forever and see where that gets you
Sometimes when breaking news comes out I go looking for some bits from John and have a giggle.
how about you break your weight barrier will ya?
In 1976, Carlson's parents divorced after their nine-year marriage reportedly "turned sour". Carlson's father was granted custody of Tucker and his brother. Carlson's mother left the family when he was six, wanting to pursue a "bohemian" lifestyle. This EXPLAINS IT ALL, doesn't it?
Explains a loathing for the left.
Tucker Carlson is the embodiment of any sentence that starts with: "I'm not racist, but..."
"... here's a list of reasons why that opener was a complete lie."
The absolute manifestation of the phrase "I can't be racist, I have a black friend!" And he's not even subtle about it. How he still has any sort of support is well and truly beyond me.
Tucker "Karen" Swanson Carlson
“I do sit in their meetings”
and the people he makes his media for are worse. I legit made a video about one of Tuckers brainwashing victims last week and wasn't expecting to see John Oliver covering this so close
Mom: "Are you the cookie thief?" Child: "Let me ask, just what exactly is a "cookie thief"? What exactly is that?" Mom: "That sounds like a confession."
Underrated comment
Where I come from, that kid catches hands the moment they furl their brow and use that sickening tone of voice
Do mom want to destroy western civilization and America?
As a mom, I saw thru his bullshit rhetoric right away.
If i even looked at my mother wrong in this scenario i caught these hands across my face. Then cookie doesn't matter because my cheeks are too swollen to eat the cookie. that's called discipline and you bet i didn't ever figure out what a cookie thief was. Lol

@@blairkrolak7189 lmao
@@blairkrolak7189 I think maybe you read too deep into a movie where a guy talks to a beeping robot and destroys a planet sized weapon with beam of radiation. If you really want to imagine what Tucker wouldve done in a galaxy far far away let's go - he's a jedi that thinks only jedi should be allowed on his planet, but jedi shouldn't pay for the world's upkeep and they should abandon any jedi in need financially or medically. Every Ewok can and should own a gun so maybe next time they can shoot first. If you accidentally bone your sister she has to have the baby. If you don't agree with him about what jedi rules the planet, he'll lie about the voting droids, be sued by the voting druids, then be fired by the network to save some money when he admits to wrongdoing.
And he’s now FIRED-hahahahaha

Important note: Tucker stopped wearing his sad little bowties after Jon Stewart made fun of how dumb he looked in them.

God I love that interview
True.
Important note: Jon Stewart is actually smart and funny. His former temp John Oliver here simply isn't.
@@realomon - John Stewart is a tool.
You just know Tucker Carlson is gonna bring this up on his show.
Tomorrow night, mark my words
I have no access to Fox News (I'm Italian). Please tell me what will happen!
Dang it! You beat me to it.
@@tommasocimmino3195 he starts his show with one of those talking heads where he talks about current issues and lie about them for like 10 minutes straight (kinda like what you see in this segment). Seeing that John made this segment, Tucker will respond to it probably tomorrow. Oh and be grateful you can't watch Fox News.
I can’t wait 😈
Revisiting this now that Fox and Tucker parted ways. I wish them both exactly all the good they brought to this world!
Who else is here after hearing Tuck Buck got fired from Fox News?
Lol J-O talking about how Fox expanding his programing 2 years ago. Say bye bye to 700+ million =P
Time to grab the popcorn, baby!
I turned this on because I thought it was a brand new piece!
I never listened to him. Well, l did a few times because he SOUNDED impressive.
Tucker Carlson: Yet another living example that all you need to succeed in America is rich parents and a profound lack of empathy.
Honestly with a profound lack of empathy anyone can succeed. Just look at politicians.
It is unbelievable how that lack of empathy can surge or b spread! Let’s hope time & our fortitude of love for 1 another will wane this...
So much truth
Are you talking about his audience or him lol
@@yohasan308 “Orlando is awesome! It’s not as nice as Cancun...” I do not like that man Ted Cruz...
Tucker, probably: “Does John Oliver hate America and freedom?”
Yes
Unlike Tucker, at least someone in John's immediate family served in the US military.
"British woodpecker telling us how we should run our blessed democracy. Is that normal now? Is that what our nation has become?"
@@tiandao8503 that’s doesn’t mean a fucking thing
John Oliver does hate America and freedom.
John's points about Tucker fueling white nationalism in America is spot on. My mother used to be a very open-minded person. She viewed all people as equal (while in high school, she dated a black boy, even against her parents' wishes) and she was very empathetic towards marginalized groups. But over the last three to four years my mother has been watching Tucker and Fox News, and has become more obsessed and gone deeper and deeper down the dark alt-right paths. Now that Tucker has been fired from Fox, my mom and her husband are more obsessed with him than ever before, watching his show on Twitter every day and feasting upon every word he says. And now, my mother - by her own admission - is a White Nationalist. It's truly scary, folks!
Proof that the Alt-Right is not only a blight, but also infectious.
In Australia it’s the same with Sky News. “Fox is so loud and shrill” frequently mentioned. All the while watching Peta; Rowan & Pete say exactly the same “Anglo/ Christian/ ‘conservative’ talking points” but from Australian POV. ☹️ i’ve actually gone from speaking to Mum very regularly to rarely; though we try to laugh about things. Incredibly sad because my reading and questioning originally came from her.

Someone: "Everyone in this country NEEDS free healthcare" Tucker: "See? They clearly hate the well-being of the people living in this country"
@Not Sure no, because people who can't afford heathcare might die, and minorites can't afford heathcare, so they are more weak to serious condisions. Which is why we need free heathcare
Lol crazy how other countries have living healthy people who benefit from government paid healthcare. I guess they figure they need living, healthy people to rule over. 😂😂
God says that the gift of salvation is free. Is that evil?
There is no such thing as free health care, it's paid by taxes. The government gets it's money from the people.
@Not Sure No, but for someone who's already rich getting richer by encouraging that we deny basic human rights to the poor, that's certainly some borderline supervillain behavior.
Every name in Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson is a last name. He's literally the antithesis of John William Oliver.

🥂
All gather to celebrate the firing of Tucker Carlson from FOX.
kinda wild that Tuck pretends people in his hometown didn't have ethnic identities considering it's 30 miles from one of the largest border crossings in the country
And it's called La Jolla
A very wealthy enclave in SOCAL.
Yeah, but La Jolla is EXTREMELY exclusive and posh. It's not like you've got many minorities actually living there, and I seriously doubt he took many trips to El Cajon or Imperial Beach to actually mix with other races as he grew up. The closest he'll have come to actually encountering someone who isn't white is his family having some Mexican gardeners and a single trip to TJ to buy hookers as a teen.

Who else came back here to celebrate after Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox?
This episode has finally ripen good and sweet. 🥳
I'm disappointed John left out that Iraq had a higher literacy rating than some US states prior to the war.
Lol writing was created in Iraq. The fact that he said Iraq has no culture is ridiculous. Like what!? It's literally the birthplace of civilization with the longest inhabited cities, not to mention all of the things they created such as time, math, astronomy, beer, the wheel, agriculture, etc. The list goes on...
Not to mention the infrastructure was top notch previous to the US invasion, and the fact that there’s more bilingual and trilingual people in Iraq than anywhere in America, don’t believe me? Just watch a documentary called Heavy Metal in Baghdad...

Nope. I'm here after he interviewed Putin. See you all next year I guess when Tucker jumps a literal shark.
She literally said dismantle systems of oppression he translated it .....to “American government “😩😩😂😂😂
plot twist: Tucker is just a really, _really_ confusing liberal
It is a debate tactic. It is useful in that if I can say "Chocolate or Vanilla, America loves Chocolate, and you love Vanilla, so why would you destroy America?" You now either have to call bullshit, debate me, or walk away but because of this tactic I 'begin' to control the room. Down the rabbit hole, the right talking points, and no facts equal an insane level of cult like power from maybe only 2 out of 10 but then multiply it. If I can agree with unknown personal bias within an audience then I never have to produce facts and I can drag time backwards. Evil. Terrible. Everyone should find ways to communicate better than those that do this shit.
@@JRMarquis30 yeah, but Tucker’s on the side of Vanilla.
Now imagine if she pridefully proclaimed that her building was now the tallest in NYC after 9/11. They misinterpret her "some people did something" line because they're bigoted idiots, now imagine if she bragged about her building being the tallest like that orange a-hole.
@@JRMarquis30 ...Wow! My thoughts, exactly! Thank you 🙏 ...
I grew up in San Diego. To learn that he is from La Jolla is hilarious. To be from such a wealthy area and then make a career on “being the voice of the working man” is so ridiculous.
..also think that lots of working people voted for Trump who literally lives in a g o l d e n penthouse, not to mention so many other similar things he does.. How on earth working class people think the top elites are on their side is.. buffing to say the least....
his "bohemian" mom literally up and left them when he was a kid and his dad was basically a CIA affiliate who worked to spread anti-commi propaganda to Cuba, I mean you can't make that shit up

Condolences to John's staff who had to wade through a career of Carlson for clips.
@Smunstu Stinkymonster I wish there were a way of sharing this with all the dopes who tell us to “stop just watching liberal media.” I keep an eye on nuts like Tucker as well.
All of the segments I've ever seen from this show follow the same repetitive format: present some "argumentation" and "facts" for about 10 seconds, then quickly follow these up with a snarky quip (which themselves overwhelmingly take the form of complete non-sequitur or otherwise absurd metaphor) before any rational processing of the preceding argument can take place in the mind of the viewer. Further telling is that the only 'beats' or mental pauses in the show's pacing exist solely to highlight the approving laughter or applause of the studio audience. Repeat this basic formula without variation 20-40 times in a row and you have one of the 12-20 minute 'segments' that form the backbone of the show. The end effect is (obviously) not to deliver information, but rather to literally teach the viewers -- on a subconscious level -- to mentally associate derisive laughter with any person or opinion that is at odds with the narrative's take on the chosen issue. And it accomplishes this by maintaining a strict adherence to a roughly 20-second cycle in which a stimulus is presented, and a response is cued. This is the sense in which the show is fundamentally hypnotic in effect -- even more so than its precursors in the genre (Daily Show, Colbert, etc). To my mind, Oliver's show is representative of the media's increasing mastery of the methodologies of mass conditioning; in fact it is almost such a perfect technical accomplishment that I would almost have to admire it on technical grounds, which moreover is in the hands of the entirely wrong people.
@@MisterCovek I’ll give you this - Oliver is usually not funny. Let me be clear - I’m not saying he’s not always very funny; he is generally not funny at all. I think he recognizes how depressing his subject matter and delivery is and is now doing it this way intentionally. Millions of people watch including us so he clearly knows what he’s doing. Interesting that you put “argumentation” and “facts” in quotes considering how much of his arguing is done using video clips of the person in question. Which is it? literally teach? or do something on a subconscious level? Your terms offset each other. The show is hypnotic? Mate, its downright boring. The only reason I could easily make it through all 20+ minutes of this clip is because I can’t stand Tucker Carlson. I’ve frequently turned to other videos when Oliver/Stewart start with the dick jokes and other toilet/porn humor. Don’t get me started on how unfunny and cringeworthy Trevor Noah is. Colbert is by far the most talented and natural of anyone to step foot on the set of The Daily Show.
@Harold Moore Thanks Captain Obvious; did I mention someone or something that I found funny to which you might be referring?

I’m now extraordinarily disappointed in John for refusing to give us any new fork facts since this episode. Unforgivable, John.
The main problem is that most fork facts are unforkgivable.
Got back here to watch this again after I heard he was fired from Fox.
It’s rather telling that he hears: “Dismantle the system of oppression” and thinks “dismantle the American system of Government.”
its just so depressing that the mass shooting by a white supremacist was completely predictable, as seen in this old episode. Why is this whiter than paper jackasss not in jail?
It's almost as if he is fully aware that the American government is inherently oppressive... hmmmm....
The American system of government is the system of oppression though.
US government systematically oppresses people? Never!!!
Wow, there were supposed to be 4 comments under this comment??????
Like how she said "system of oppression" and he immediately said "american system of government" lmao
Freudian somethin' or other... (P.s. nice dog).
sounds like these things 'might' be close to one another eh?
Congratulation, you have played yourself lmao
Really makes ya think
Its why I don't really give conservatives the benefit of the doubt anymore honestly. Like, they try to play up the idea that they're ignorant to the verilent white supremacy in their political party, then go around and make a massive leap like this because they know their audience is going to see a woman of color being loud and feel personally victimized by something so trivial. She said she wanted to dismantle systems of oppression, and that's only going to read as an attack on American society/ western culture to you if you think America/the west is defined by those oppressive systems. Which, for many conservatives if not all of them, is exactly what they believe. Even if they refuse to admit it.
We need a part 2!!!
Rewatching after he got fired 😂
Same
When you like Nazis, that's bad. But when Nazis watch your show twice, that's some next level shit.
Once for entertainment. Once for study. Truly next level sh*t.
Tucker Carlson - when nazis want to learn from you...
Yeah, claiming you don't know what white supremacy means, and not changing your game if actual neonazis use your show as learning material is fucked up. Even more so because so many people take him very seriously.
a whole Nazi-Familie!! (family)
@@ainumahtar you people will call a squirrel a white supremacist. Excuse us for not knowing where the goalposts stand. Literally anyone who disagrees with you is a nazi fascist racist White supremacist.
Unregulated mass immigration had badly hurt this country's natural landscape. *native americans have entered the chat*
✊🏻
According to right wingers the native Americans aren’t as native as some random European in the 1770’s
@@Hallo770 "wElL tEcHnIcAlLy ThEy CaMe To NoRtH aMeRiCa On ThE lAnDbRiDgE sO tHeY'rE nOt ReAlLy NaTiVe To ThIs LaNd EiThEr" This is almost literally verbatim (with a stylistic change) what a Republican said to me when I reminded them that we stole lands from EVERY tribe that already existed across ALL of North America. They literally think that because we're all very technically not native to the lands at some point in the vast thousands of years of modern human existence, that this means that we didn't steal their land and commit genocide against them...or at least that's the latest genius strategy. Hey, at least they're no longer (for the most part) arguing openly that we deserve the lands because white people are just naturally "smarter" and "better". They reserve that gem for when we discuss black "inner city" kids...
Actually you make Tuckers point very nicely.
@@knoxlaw , Tucker is great indeed. Sadly, the left wing nuts will wake up to their insanity only when it is too late and China rules the world.
watching this in celebration of him getting fired from FOX lmao
John Oliver is a prophet. All hail St. John!!!!
"a man who spends 85% of his time making the befuddled face of a 13th Century farmer learning about Bitcoin" 🤣 LMAO I'm stealing that one
😂😂😂
That's the line.
Things no one should ever want: an entire John Oliver segment on your life.
Well, Trump is no longer president and Rush Limbaugh is dead, that leaves Carlson and Hannity as the only conservative programs to draw from. Comedian (and that's important to remember) John Oliver needs to get material from somewhere. He obviously missed the border crisis and Governor Cuomo's nursing home debacle.
@@markd8508 oh I'm sure the Andrew Cuomo segment is coming
well I wouldn't mind and would hopefully be happy to take the opportunity to participate in it if asked.
@@markd8508 1.) He did an Cuomo segment one or two weeks ago and was pretty harsh to Cuomo. In fact he also criticized him in *this* episode, right before the Tucker Carlson segment. Don't forget that this KZhead channel only shows one segment - the main segment - of the show. 2.) John Oliver mostly talks about systemic issues of America and not single people.
Unless you’re Adam Driver
I'm here to pop the bottles cause: 🎉🎉🎉Tucker got fired!!!🎉🎉🎉
Happy Tucker Got Fired Day to all who celebrate!
I expected John Oliver to mention that even Fox itself argued in court that no reasonable viewer would think of Tucker as reporting facts but rather opinions.
That's there whole network...but they still say news...
Reasonable... That the problem!
Fox has no reasonable viewers.
john oliver reports opinions. liberals just can't stand different opinions. you people are corporate robots lol
@@inspectorjavert5563 us liberals can absolutely handle different opinions. We just can't handle ones that are extreme and/or stupid. You right when yours go beyond simply having different opinions. You have but you don't just have opinions you have propaganda.
Let us never forget that Tucker Carlson has never worn another bowtie after Jon Stewart made fun of him wearing them in 2005/2006 during a debate on Crossfire.
That was in 2004, and Tucker wore them several years after.
Tucker wiped the floor with Jon "Stewart" in that episode yet smooth brains harp on about his bowtie.
@@futtbuckerson483 Well those quotation marks aren't a dog whistle for anything at ALL
Is this news or political commentary or even satire? Seems more like a personal character assasination. No matter if you agree or not....this is no John Stewart. Isn't Biden the current president? Aren't the democrats in power in almost all decision entities? Is everyone satisfied with the current state of affairs? Are all Biden voters happy with him? In my opinion this format is dead....specially after Trump left.
@@xedasxedas I voted for Biden and he sucks. You're supposed to be critical of the people you vote for.
$787 million settlement and another one coming because of him 😂
Anyone checking in on April 24, 2023? FOX booting Tucker today haha
RIP to the brain of the person who had to go trough all that tucker "content" to create this episode i hope they gave you a serious raise
And some hazzard pay on top of that. That's a mire so toxic, it'll corrode your eyeballs if you look at it for more than 12 minutes at a time.
And a stiff drink
They probably took it in turns lol
And time off to consult a psychiatrist to maintain his\her\their mental health.
that's a good point. The heroes behind the scenes doing the work that'd make Mike Rowe squeamish should have mandatory counseling.
I served between 1993-2000. They had maternity uniforms then. My commander's mom gave birth to him while she was active duty in the Navy during WWII. Women in service having babies have been around since war started.
I would love to use the deserving title of a true patriot; HOWEVER, I feel such an honorable description has been tainted and used for evil. May I be humble and say, I’m proud of you!
@@saraleila773 I feel the same way about the term patriot. I get so angry with shit like Tucker said. Very few military action involve direct action. It take armies of people to field an army. The women I served with did their very important work very well and without their efforts the military would grind to halt. Conservatives have no idea what history or reality is. They live in a fantasy land of how they want things to be ignoring everything that has and is happening.
@An Intellectual Yes, because all of world history during that time took place in Europe. Things didn't happen in the rest of the world. Very intellectual. Now go brag to your Daddy Peterson what a great job you just did cleaning your room.
@An Intellectual I like the low key troll. Your avatar and name are the cherries on top.
Women who want to have babies shouldnt be in the military.
Tucker Carlson getting fired today (4/24/2023) brought me here.
And today (4/24/2023), we are celebrating 😂🎉
"Wealthy elitists are sneering at you!" -Tucker Carlson, a wealthy elitist sneering at you.
Well, he knows from experience.
He is leading by example.
The ironys too real
He is not that wrong in that statement. These issues that are being bombarded to most people in the US are viewed as elitist views because the less fortunate don’t have the time to sit, think and take action on the problems of the minorities.
Check his interview with Rutger Bregman. Calls him out and tucker goes ballistic, it's great.
"Tucker." Wow. Whoever named this guy was just one crossbar short of the truth.
🤣🤣🤣 YES. 🙌
Lol
The crossbar is there, they just moved it to the top to form a T
Hahahaha!
Perfect.
Had to come back to this after Tuck the Cuck got fired from Fox. What a great day for America.
Just saw where Tuck was ousted at Fox News. John’s K/D ratio is still climbing, Wonder where Tuck will land next…
running for public office or grifting to another right-wing news outlet I guess?
@@BoogsterSU2 Probably. If he gets in the Senate though, we’re all screwed…
"Sad 70's single man frozen food money" - John, whoever on your writing team came up with that one, send them to Hawaii on an all-expenses paid trip for a week.
*2 weeks
And the "performatively outraged wedge salad" is also genius.
"You relentlessly indignant picket fence" was pretty brilliant too.
Yes but wait for the vacation till the flooding subsides.
"With the befuddled face of a 13th century farmer learning about bitcoin" The zingers were on point this episode
Tucker "I'm not racist, but" Carlson
😂😂😂
🎯
Lollll
You have renamed him for me, thank you. This does not end here.
Tucker Carlson be like, "I can't be racist! I grew up around black people! I wasn't a huge fan of it, what with their loud rap music and their doo rags, but I still did it!"
I’m so glad he got fired from Fox
Wellp. He out.
Teacher: “Anyone have any questions there is no such thing as a bad question...” Tucker Carlson: “Allow me to introduce myself...”
Its strange that John didnt mention that it was Jon Stewart the one who made Tucker throw away that stupid bowtie at CNN and get a tie at FOX . In a way Jon Stewart made both John Oliver and Tucker what they are today.
*Sympathy for the Devil starts playing in the background*
Give us Mattias Ekholm please
"There are no stupid questions, just stupid people."
@@owenandrew7951 can we have Giroux in trade
I love how Tucker also feigns to hate elites while he clearly is one being an heir to Swanson and all.
It's a scam to keep the proles distracted over nonsense.
He's open about it. He's an elite, and he knows how bad they really are.
@@Praisethesunson Is he the one that brought up maternity flight suits, or was is the president?
It's not about elites, it's about the internationalists. Something you morons don't understand. Oliver himself is a just a voice for their agendas.
...playing the I am against elites is the primary step to take to make yourself LOOK as if you are against it.. shame people believe him... people with much less than what he has.....
Even though 2 years old, this remains thee most brilliant masterpiece slaying of Tucker Carlson ever 👍👏🏆
Tucker Carlson just got fired, John needs to do a part 2
I’m a 34 year old black man...and soon as I heard that violin hook from “Toxic”, I started smiling
Who can’t? Haha
Britney is a national treasure.
I'm a 32 year old Bosnian man living in Kuwait, as soon as I heard that violin hook from Toxic, I started dancing, lmao
I feel like it misses something without the lead in that it counters and then alternates with.
I love this comment lol❤️
John once referred to Tucker as “the human equivalent of a blood spattered boat shoe found at the scene of a hazing death” in case you forgot that he’s both a comedian and a poet.
Both evocative and appalling I just keep thinking of him on Tuckers show begging him to quit hurting America.....
It seems the Johns both have a talent of mocking Tucker Carlson
His writers write all his shit. Tucker is so much better
@@sha7303 lmao and yet, here you are.
He's just filling in for a certain type of person until the 2024 elections. "There's no business like show business." And "the show must go on."
Well played, algorithm, well played.
And he's OUTTA HERE!!!!!!
He has defended himself in court saying that no one should take anything he says as fact. I feel like that should be displayed at the top of the screen on his show.
his supporter will just take it as a "wink". like "Oh I see what you are doing it *winkwink*"
@Richard Nino well.. very specific facts that only play into his narrative.. but yea sure
@Richard Nino ...So what do you think of the above statement of his?
This has been Fox News common defense for decades, back to O'Reilly and Hannity. Whenever they're called out on their reporting "We're just entertainment". Whenever people try to restrict their press access "We're legitimate news".
Sounds like a clone of that other president.
I can't wait for Tucker Carlson's segment on "John Oliver: The Radical Leftist Marxist Anarchist"
Let's not forget Anti-American, since he's a Brit who should be eternally thankful that the US "took him in".
Forgot the question mark
@@OneEyeShadow Well, he’s a WHITE immigrant, so he’s basically short-circuiting Tucker’s brain right now.
Tucker is very talented at making people sound way cooler than they are, so I don't doubt it
If he goes into war with the Tucan.. he is fucked.. he m u s t know this... i mean .. we all know what happened to Murray...
Here after tucker is no longer a fox friend 💁🏻♂️
Aged like fine wine
