These are Glenn Beck’s initial thoughts following his interview with Tucker Carlson

Yesterday, Glenn Beck had the opportunity to conduct the first interview with Tucker Carlson following the commentator’s return from Russia to interview Vladimir Putin.

Today, Glenn sits down with Pat Gray to share his thoughts on his time with Tucker.

“I think it went really well,” says Glenn. Prior to the interview, “I really didn't know where [Tucker] stood on Russia,” and “as I pushed him on it, he really flipped.”

“He's so tired of having to be clear on absolutely everything when he thinks some things are just understood.”

In essence, Tucker told Glenn: “I'm an American, I don't care about any other country other than America ... If this is what this crappy, communist country can do, what the hell [is America] doing?” and explained that Russia was actually far nicer than it’s being portrayed in the media and that our biggest concern should be the rapid devolution of the United States.

Another topic of conversation was Tucker’s inexplicable ability to relate to the common man despite growing up in the political sphere of Washington, D.C.

“I said, ‘You grew up in Washington, D.C. Your dad ... was part of the machine,”’ Glenn recounts. “‘How is it you escaped all this elitism — because you are kind of elite — and yet you relate to the people?”’

“‘I don’t,’ [Tucker] said. ‘I am the elite ... but because I grew up around them, I know them, and I know them by name ... I despise them.”’

“He said, ‘I love America, and I hate the people who are running it,”’ Glenn explains.

Even though people have essentially called Tucker “Vladimir Putin’s b****” following his controversial interview, “he's not,” says Pat. “He’s just pointing out that we've let our country go to ruin ... and it's partly because of the oppression that they have in Russia.”

Glenn confirms that this is entirely true.

“[Tucker] said, ‘I’m not saying we should be Russian. We should be pissed off that the Russians have this,”’ referring to how nice and in-tact Russia actually is, ‘“while we have tent cities”’ in America.

“He’s absolutely right,” says Glenn.

Tucker also took a similar approach when Glenn broached the subject of Alexei Navalny’s mysterious and sudden death.

“He said, ‘Why does that matter so much to Americans? … I don’t care about Navalny. I care about what’s happening here in America.”’

In sum, Tucker told Glenn, “‘I don't care about the internal politics of Ukraine; I don't care about the internal politics of Russia ... How does that affect us?”’

“He’s right,” agrees Pat.

Did Tucker Carlson actually just admit to believing in aliens?

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=50881172&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D50881172%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

When Alex Stein asked Tucker Carlson his thoughts on extraterrestrial life, Tucker’s response didn’t disappoint.

“I believe it was Ronald Reagan who said that it would take an existential outside threat in order to bring all the nations together, so I think that they might be using aliens as a psyop to scare us. What is your opinion on aliens?” Stein asked.

“Well the whole topic has certainly been frequently used as a psyop; that's documented,” explained Tucker, referencing Project Blue Book and other similar operations.

“There's absolutely no question. The U.S. government used this story as a distraction and has lied a great deal about it,” he continued. “The question is — at the core, underneath all of that, underneath all the lying — is there something there?”

“Yes, there is, and it's been written about since we have a written record; it's been written about for thousands of years, and so, yes, there is something that is not human flying around. It is an independent intelligence. Is it extraterrestrial? I don’t think that it is ... but whatever it is, it is real.”

Tucker’s evidence comes from personally knowing some of the whistleblowers who have brought forth allegations.

“The U.S. government absolutely does have physical evidence of this (whatever it is), and we know that from 10 separate whistleblowers, a couple of whom I know,” he told Stein.

“The third thing we know is the U.S. government — the Congress specifically, including the Senate Majority Leader, including the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and including two different committee chairmen — [is] making extraordinary efforts to prevent the UAP disclosure Act of 2023 from taking effect, from preventing the act from releasing the information to the public. They're trying really, really hard, and that's true, and I know that for a fact,” Tucker assured Stein.

“Of course, there are psyops, and they're going in many different directions. It's hard to know exactly what they are, but the core facts are: this is real; the U.S. government does have physical evidence; and they are still trying to hide it from us.”

While he’s not sure what all this adds up to, he is confident in saying that whatever the truth is, “there's dark stuff at the center of the story.”

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

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=50393053&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,58,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D50393053%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C58%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

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.

4 BOMBSHELLS from Tucker Carlson's interview with Devon Archer

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8zNDc3OTkxNC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTcyMDk2MTA0Mn0.IYVqmeuno6ba9QcFd7fyhK2cCSZclab1t6B3DEVUxCY/img.jpg?width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8zNDc3OTkxNC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTcyMDk2MTA0Mn0.IYVqmeuno6ba9QcFd7fyhK2cCSZclab1t6B3DEVUxCY/img.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Tucker Carlson might have been ousted from Fox News, but that certainly hasn’t hurt his lineup of interviewees.

After Devon Archer testified before Congress about Joe Biden’s knowledge of Hunter’s foreign business ventures, he sat down with Tucker on Twitter for a tell-all interview.

“Tucker was speaking Archer’s language,” Glenn Beck observes, before diving into some massive bombshells dropped during the interview.

In one clip, Archer tells Tucker that Hunter “was the guy that was the expert in knowing the guy.”

The “guy,” Archer explains, was Hunter’s “brother, his father, some of his father’s siblings.”

“I think we all understand what is being said here,” Glenn comments.

In another clip, Archer confirms that Joe Biden knew that businessmen were present during a call with Hunter.

“I can definitively say at particular dinners or meetings, he knew there were business associates,” Archer tells Tucker. He then adds, “I don’t know if it was an orchestrated call-in or not. It certainly was powerful, though, because, you know, if you’re sitting with a foreign business person and you hear the vice president’s voice, that’s prize enough.”

Tucker continues to press Archer. “You’re taking a call from the vice president, and you put it on speaker. It’s not just ‘Hey Dad, I’m in a meeting with some buddies,’ it’s ‘Let me put my dad, the vice president, on speaker.’”

“In the rearview, it’s an abuse of soft power, I’d say,” Archer responds.

Tucker then shows Archer a letter from Joe Biden to Archer himself, dated 2011.

“This is from the vice president of the United States, Joe Biden, to you personally,” Tucker begins.

In the letter, Biden writes: “Dear Devon, I apologize for not getting a chance to talk to you at the luncheon yesterday. I was having trouble getting away from hosting President Hu.”

“Here’s the vice president of the United States saying to you — a man in his mid-30s who’s not a government official — ‘I’m sorry I was occupied with the guy who runs the world’s largest country, I would much rather talk to you,’” Tucker comments to Archer.

“He was thanking me and thanking Hunter, I think, at the end of the day for bringing this idea of this government regulatory strategic advisory business into the private equity world, and I think he was excited about the prospects for Hunter,” Archer responds.

Glenn believes this was an excellent and eye-opening interview.

“I think Tucker played this expertly. He approached him as a peer.”

Glenn REACTS to Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson TORCHING their 2024 campaigns in Tucker Carlson interviews

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8zNDM1MzY1Ni9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTcwMjMyMDIxNX0.9xOWpegv4DuhorZqIH9j_07BLxd-2WIawtByeBzX3Rw/img.jpg?width=1200&height=800&coordinates=200,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8zNDM1MzY1Ni9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTcwMjMyMDIxNX0.9xOWpegv4DuhorZqIH9j_07BLxd-2WIawtByeBzX3Rw/img.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D200%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Two presidential campaigns went down in flames at the 2023 FAMiLY Leadership Summit broadcasted by Blaze Media while others seemed to take off.

Former governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson, was one of them.

In an interview on stage with Tucker Carlson, Hutchinson appeared to suggest that protecting children from trans medical “treatments” is not a big issue.

“Is it treatment to prevent him from going through the natural process of adolescence? How is that treatment? It seems not like treatment, it seems like something else,” Carlson was recorded asking Hutchinson regarding children who want to transition.

“Tucker, I hope that we’ll be able to talk about some issues —” Hutchinson said in response, before Carlson cut him off.

“This is one of the biggest issues in the country and I think every person in this room would agree that it is a central issue because these are children who are being altered permanently, and you can defend that alteration, that change if you like, but there’s really no debate about whether or not it’s permanent,” Carlson quipped back.

Mike Pence was another candidate who seemed to have torpedoed his campaign.

Carlson asked Pence why he is more concerned about providing tanks and funding to Ukraine than he is a degrading economy and sky rocketing suicide and crime rates in the United States.

“Well, it’s not my concern,” Pence responded, adding that “anybody that says we can’t be the leader of the Free World and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. We can do both.”

After that, Stu Burguiere, Pat Gray, and Glenn Beck don’t see much hope for Pence or Hutchinson’s campaigns.

“It was a really bad political soundbite,” Stu says of Pence.

“He also was booed,” Glenn adds.

However, there were standing ovations for Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Glenn believes Ramaswamy is “surprising everyone who watches him.”

“I love him,” Gray adds, “I haven’t heard a single viewpoint of his that I disagree with yet.”
