Bernie Sanders BLOWS Theo Von’s mind as he explains how Democrats stole the election from him



Comedian and podcaster Theo Von has been on fire with his interviews lately — and his sit-down with Bernie Sanders is no exception.

Which is why Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shared a timely clip from “This Past Weekend” during which Sanders admits that the Democratic Party robbed him of winning the Democratic Party's nomination after he won the first few primaries.

“I felt like you didn’t get treated fairly, to be honest,” Von tells Sanders of his run for Democratic presidential nominee.

“That’s what happens when you take on the establishments. What happened is we won the first three primaries, and then the establishment got very, very nervous,” Sanders explains. “There were a whole lot of candidates in the Democratic primary, and they said, ‘Hey, it’d be a good idea if you all dropped out, let Joe Biden be the one candidate.’”

“Do they call? Is there a call that you get and it’s like you’re not going to move forward?” Von asks, adding, “How does the establishment work?”

“What happened is I won the popular vote in Iowa. I won the New Hampshire primary. I won the Nevada primary. And those were the first three, and then the front page of the New York Times: ‘Democratic Establishment very nervous Bernie Sanders could win the whole thing.’”

Sanders said pressure was applied to the other candidates to drop out in order for Biden to win, and once they did, everyone rallied around the current president.

“Do you think that our election process is still Democratic?” Von asks.

“Yes and no,” Sanders responds. “If you’re going to win, and I have 10 times more money than you do, I will beat you 95% of the time. I mean, that’s a fact.”

“In terms of who has the real power, money people do. And I use the term oligarchy, and oligarchy is a society where small numbers of very wealthy people control the economic and political life of the country. I think we are moving rapidly in that direction,” he adds.

“It feels like an almost privatized communism in a way,” Von responds.

“That’s a very good point,” Sanders says, pleasantly surprised.

Trump opens up about late brother's struggles with alcoholism in moving conversation with Theo Von



During a candid conversation with comedian and podcast host Theo Von released earlier this week, former President Donald Trump opened up about his late brother who struggled with alcohol addiction.

Von, 44, and Trump, 78, touched on a number of topics during the episode of Von's podcast "This Past Weekend," including illegal immigration, Trump's recent debate with Biden, and his son Barron, who's reportedly a fan of Von.

The segments of their conversation that have gone viral on social media, though, related to their discussion about substance abuse, and Trump shared stories about his late brother Fred Trump, an alcoholic who died in 1981 at the age of 42.

'The reason it's good talking about it is, it might help other people. If it helps one other person, it's worth the conversation.'

The former president claimed that Fred "knew he had a problem" with alcohol but could not break it. Because of his struggles, Fred always advised younger brother Donald to steer clear of addictive substances.

"Don't drink, don't drink," Donald Trump recalled Fred saying. "And he said, 'Don't smoke.' He smoked, and he drank."

Donald Trump apparently followed his older brother's advice, telling Von he has "never had a glass of alcohol." Moreover, he admitted that, like Fred, he likely has the "personality" that would lend itself toward addiction.

"I think maybe I'm a personality type where I could have had the problem if I drank," he explained.

"I couldn't have been successful if I had that problem."

During the exchange, Trump also hinted at his continued grief over Fred's untimely death. His voice became rather quiet as he described Fred as a "great guy" and a "great brother" who was "very handsome."

"I admired a lot, so much about him," Trump told Von. "He had so much going. He had the look. He was an unbelievable personality, like, an incredible personality."

When pressed to describe a poignant memory with Fred, Trump shared that Fred was a "very talented" pilot who "loved" to fly and who even helped other skillful pilots improve their craft.

"But ultimately he had to give that [up] because of the alcohol," Trump said. "He had to give that up, which was a hard thing for him to do."

When Von expressed concern that he was touching on too sore of a subject, Trump claimed he wanted to share these stories about Fred in hopes of helping others with similar challenges.

"The reason it's good talking about it is, it might help other people. If it helps one other person, it's worth the conversation," Trump stated.

Trump claimed he also had a friend from business school who likewise died from alcohol addiction. The friend insisted on drinking scotch, which he didn't like, "to be successful in business."

"He hated the taste of scotch, and then he couldn't live without it — literally," Trump recalled of his friend, whom he did not name.

For his part, Von admitted that he has been in recovery for alcohol and drug addiction off and on for the past decade. He claimed he has been sober for the past two years or so.

When Trump asked which addiction, drugs or alcohol, was more difficult to shake, Von claimed drugs were harder but said that consuming alcohol was the gateway to using other drugs.

"If I have a drink then it's tougher for me to prevent myself from [using drugs]," explained Von, who said addiction runs in his family.

Later in the episode, the conversation returned to drug use, and Von went into more detail about the racing feeling caused by cocaine.

"Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie," Von said, addressing the 45th president of the United States. "You know what I'm saying? You'll be out on your own porch, you know, you'll be your own street lamp."

Von insisted the feeling is "horrible" but that addicts continue to pursue it anyway. "Just like the guy ... with the scotch," he explained.

The full one-hour interview between Trump and Von — which was apparently arranged in part by UFC president Dana White — can be viewed here.

WATCH: Theo Von reacts to migrants attacking NYPD: 'I will beat the horchata out of that motherf****r'



Comedian and podcaster Theo Von put all jokes aside when discussing the migrants who attacked New York police officers with Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem on “This Past Weekend.”

Dave Rubin plays a clip of Von going off on what can only be described as complete “nonsense.”

“The fact that they’re putting the officers at risk … you gotta go,” Von told Clem.

What makes matters worse is that the offenders were released just hours after the incident and were flipping off the cameras and blowing kisses as they walked free.

To that, Von said, “I think it's a bad look to the people of this country who are still trying to obey the laws and uphold them.”

“Well, that’s the lack of consequences, right?” said Clem. “This is what pisses off the Border Patrol agents because we've had to process and release these types of people.”

Perhaps Von didn’t put all jokes aside, because he added, “Let that motherf****r loose around Sean Strickland” and “I will beat the horchata out of that motherf****r” in reference to the migrant who was flipping off the camera and blowing kisses.

“There's a total lack of respect,” Von continued, “and when we don't show any respect for ourselves … a lack of respect [is] going to keep coming.”

Dave is particularly impressed with that last comment.

“If we don't show respect for ourselves, other people will not respect us, and that's what we are doing to this country. We are not respecting our laws, so then other people come here and they don't respect our laws,” he says in agreement.

Tucker Carlson talks distrust of Big Pharma, sobriety, future plans, and bashes Jeffrey Toobin as 'a**hole' in new interview



Tucker Carlson gave a wide-ranging interview with comedian and popular podcast host Theo Von. Carlson discussed getting sober years ago and his distrust of Big Pharma, blasted mainstream media outlets as "liars," and slammed Jeffrey Toobin.

Tucker Carlson gets sober

Carlson confessed that he used to be an alcoholic years ago, but he was able to kick the habit and get sober.

Carlson said he initially had withdrawal symptoms after he became sober.

"I just didn't know very much about addiction at all," Tucker admitted. "I quit, and all of the sudden I had withdrawal symptoms. It was shocking. My hands were shaking. I feel like I was going to freak out all of the time. Super anxious. Super, super anxious. Sweating. Heart palpitations."

A friend told Carlson that he was going through alcohol withdrawal.

"It was awful," Tucker said of quitting booze. "But then within like, I don't know, six months I felt great."

Carlson said he did not utilize any help, programs, or rehab to get sober. However, he said 12-step programs can work for a lot of people, including Robert F. Kennedy.

Carlson brands the mainstream media as 'liars'

Carlson said the mainstream media has a "job to protect the people who are in charge."

Carlson slammed the Washington Post, NBC News, and the New York Times as "liars."

"I know they're liars; I've written for all three of them," he said.

Carlson admitted that when he was a journalist in his early 20s, he was "used as a tool" for the mainstream media.

"The news media want to talk about race," Carlson opined. "That's like their main thing they want to talk about. But that's not actually an interesting conversation because you can't change your race."

Carlson declared, "I have no obligation to believe anybody. You have an obligation, if you want me to believe you, to prove what you're saying. And I have a right to ask simple, fair questions."

"And if you don't give me those answers, then I just don't believe you," he said. "And I don't have to believe you."

Tucker said his response to being called a "bad person" for not believing someone is: "'F** you,' that's my response. F*** you."

Carlson reveals his future plans after being fired from Fox News

After parting from Fox News, Carlson said he had been "expelled from the system."

The day after "Tucker Carlson Tonight" was canceled, Elon Musk called the former Fox News host.

“Elon called me the day that my show was canceled, and I was grateful that he did," Carlson told Von.

"[Elon] said, 'I'm gonna keep the platform open, and people with differing views, whether I agree with them or not, are welcome on the platform,'" Carlson recalled. "And that's the guarantee that I wanted and needed. And so I've been super grateful. That's all I've ever wanted, by the way."

— (@)

When asked about his next move, Carlson responded, "We have some plans," and added with humility that his goal is to "make things slightly better" by "trying his best."

Tucker elaborated, "I just want to tell the truth without being told not to, and I think we can."

Carlson said that he is expanding to make documentaries.

Carlson's distrust of Big Pharma

Carlson cast doubt on big pharma after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and how nobody went to prison over the opioid crisis.

“Next time they tell me I have to take some pharma product, I'm probably going to pass," Carlson told Von – who has over 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Tucker bashes Jeffrey Toobin

Carlson did not hold back when asked about his opinion of disgraced legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.

"Not a stupid guy, actually, I know him; I worked with him," Carlson said of Toobin. "But his desire to be on television trumps everything else."

"There's no shame that you won't bear, there's no s**t you won't eat just to be on television," Carlson declared.

"I obviously have no respect for Jeff Toobin anyway because I know him," Tucker proclaimed. "But I had even less after that."

Carlson said Toobin is "really an a**hole."

Carlson admitted that he has been an "a**hole" in the past.

Carlson also suggested that America's enemies won't make a military attack on the country but will target the electric grid.
