We're talking Daily Wire, and if the market were to say who the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro's enemy is, it would be Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson comes out and says there's no chance he'll support the Republican Party. I think he said this a couple days ago. If you got the clip, go ahead and play it.

**Tucker Carlson** (0:45)
Support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not gonna support the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm gonna do. But at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens? Like, that's, that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that. And I'm not going to. And I think I voted Republican my entire life.
I worked at Fox News, I've seen it, MSNBC. I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. But there's no defending this because it's immoral. And it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they're not doing that. So no, he says that.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:37)
And if I'm out, and I think a clip yesterday goes with him and Alex Jones when asked about JD Vance. And here's what Tucker had to say, I think 24 hours later.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:47)
Well, will you support JD Vance? I think he's great compared to Rubio.

**Tucker Carlson** (1:52)
Obviously, he's great compared to Rubio.
Obviously. Look, I'll support the best person. I always have liked JD Vance enormously. I think he's really smart. He's in an impossible situation. I think he's doing his best. I strongly disapprove of, obviously, as I've said a hundred times, of this war and of what-

**SPEAKER_4** (2:10)
Oh, I love how Trump and others have been blaming Vance when he's volunteering to go stop it. When internally it's confirmed, they're trying to stop it just like you.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:17)
Elon, what do you have with this, with Tucker? With Tucker going from Republican, not Republican, I won't vote, JD Vance, what do you think he's doing?

**Jojo Humberto** (2:23)
I'm going to have to control myself. On my thoughts on Tucker Carlson today. Number one, him jumping up to 10% on Polymarket is scary.
I don't trust anything Tucker Carlson says. And I think when he says, you know, I don't know who I'm going to vote for, but I know I'm not voting Republican, I won't vote for Democrats, he's telling you to let the Democrats win. Because if you're a Republican and you don't vote Republican, you're essentially giving a vote to Democrats. And I think that's the goal of this new coalition, to destabilize. I think, and it's also just an insane premise, number one, to create this narrative that somehow you can't vote Republican because they're secretly loyal to Israel or to a foreign country. Therefore, you have to destroy all your foundational beliefs and allow the Democrats to win because of this great conspiracy. The guy doesn't talk about the trillion dollars coming in from Qatari. Doesn't talk about the Air Force 1 Qatari flight over our White House on July 4th. He doesn't talk about... He said Iran would be better with nuclear missiles. In the Middle East would be safer with nuclear missiles than Iran.
This is the moment... I'm just going to end with this. I'm not going to go through the vast list of him promoting Sharia law, all the weird McDonald's video in Russia where he was talking about how tasty McDonald's is in Russia, all the propaganda.

**Tom** (3:36)
Look at their beautiful subway terminal.

**Jojo Humberto** (3:38)
Yeah, and how cheap their groceries are. I mean, it's like straight up propaganda out of, like, if you were to make a video. But the moment I really lost respect for Tucker Carlson, despite all of this, is when he had Nick Fuentes on, forget the Hitler stuff, forget the Stalin stuff. He claims to love Charlie Kirk, and he was very close with Charlie Kirk. He has a guy there who said the most disgusting things about Charlie Kirk's organization and Charlie Kirk himself, and he didn't once really call him out in that interview. And if I was there with someone who said the most disgusting things about my friend who was assassinated, and they were in front of me and I'm interviewing them, and I can't even call them out about that, what kind of integrity do I have? So this guy has no integrity. He shifts his opinion on anything based on whatever narrative he's trying to push. And I really don't have a lot of... And you know, it's sad. I was interviewed by him. I looked up to him in the past. And to just see the massive...
