you watch tucker carlson, i think a lot of people need to pay attention to what people like tucker carlson are telling the republican party. they're really dictating where it goes. i think when we talk about that interview, the one thing it showed to me is how powerful tucker carmson has become in the gop that he can bring somebody like ted cruz and have him grovel before him for forgiveness. tucker carlson is telling his audience that these people are political prisoners, there was maybe a riot that happened. he kind of admitted to that but for the most part, people are peacefully protesting an election they thought might have been rigged, might be some evidence for that, and this is really the future of the republican party and it's being dictated by tucker carlson. >> and if you thought anniversaries or commemorations would change minds, no, think about. oan didn't even air biden's incredible speech. fox does the bear minimum to cover it and moved on as fast as they could. >>> let's talk about the biggest media mistake, politico playbook. they thought they spotted supreme court justice

tucker carlson is channeling their views. why >> because it seems to go the other way. tucker is actually encouraging his viewers to vote out any republicans that want to support ukraine in defending it from russia's aggression, and he's also spreading russia's position that's baselessly claiming that it's the united states that wants to invade ukraine and that it's nato that is threatening russia and not the other way around. so it seems like tucker is trying to change our foreign policy and is obviously trying to change it in russia's favor. also russian experts have discussed the strategy of trying to scare americans with the possibility of a nuclear war between the united states and russia as a consequence of the u.s. stepping up to defend ukraine, when in reality, they know that they're not crazy enough to ever think about using nuclear weapons against the united states, but tucker carlson has also been pushing that on his show, claiming that if the united states helps our ukraine to defend itself, we are risking nuclear war with russia. there are just too many par

of course it's not just tucker carlson. it goes back to the trump administration and the former president and it's just hard for them to acknowledge there's a segment of their party that is siding with russia. and i think they've got to acknowledge it and confront it as uncomfortable as it is because most of them actually -- we agree on the policy. we agree the united states has got to defend democracies when dictators like putin try to seize their territory by force. and if we're going to sustain that policy, we've got to communicate why that's important to the american people. to every side of the political spectrum. >> so, tucker carlson obviously, i mean, he enjoys freedom of speech. this is america. he can say whatever the heck he wants. but in russia critics are poisoned, they're killed. his opinions are anti-democratic. i try to think about what would happen if the shoe were on the other foot here. what conservatives might say if, you know, barack obama was saying something like this and media was supporting what he

and going on with tucker carlson, i think took a lot of what he did say out of context. what he said and the way he explained to me was what he had explain the to tucker carlson was reiterating what he said, is that violence against police officers are wrong. and when he went on to say that he stumbled and didn't say things the right way, and very un-ted cruz like, by not being able to exactly say that all of the people at the capitol were not terrorists, just the people that were attacking police officers. and his mistake and what he was trying to clarify on tucker's show was he was not referring to everyone at the capitol, just the people that were going after police officers. >> okay. >> and that was a big distinction, and it was something that should have just been said and left said at the hearing. but going on to tucker, exacerbating the situation, i think made some very correct and positive statements, i guess you could say about -- >> okay. i feel you. >> and took it too far. >> i know you're dying to jump in here, bakari. but cruz actually asked, alice, to go on

because tucker carlson literally just bullied him. it was down right, i mean, you know, it was like an anti bullying campaign that could have been the commercial but you have to actually look at the full context of who ted cruz has become. we remember -- we cannot forget, we have to remember how donald trump talked about this man's wife like a dog. >> and his dad. >> what did he do? >> and his dad with these myth kill fantasies and he ran back to donald trump and said please, please take me in. donald trump laughed and took him in. we remember this whole escapade so watching this now, the only thing that's apreppropriate thi to say is ted cruz doesn't have what it takes to stand up for people bullying him which doesn't put him in a good position going forward. >> wow. [ laughter ] >> what? >> this is always something about ted cruz. i remember, you know, cancun and i remember him like donald trump -- >> but ted cruz -- >> his wife -- >> for these people watching that want to go into politics. me and alice may disagree where we land on

>> well, i wouldn't compare republicans, tucker carlson. there are plenty of republicans that i've worked with in the senate and house of representatives that are just as tough as anybody else is on russia. tucker carlson, what he said, he is clearly an ignorant man, he doesn't understand what putin is up to. i've seen putin up close and personal. he is a murderer, he's chased me all around the world trying to kill me, he killed my lawyer, and he killed leading russian opposition. he poisoned alexei navalny. tucker carlson should keep his mouth shut when it comes to putin. >> and i wasn't just referring to tucker carlson. former president trump had a soft spot for putin. and i was hearing from a lawmaker in new jersey who is saying that his constituents are calling him because they listen to the fox channel or some of these tariffsconservatives and yeah, what is the big deal. and so whatever is happening, it is taking root. sgroe well, it is and it isn't. it is being advertised by a small group of people who don't know what they are talking

tucker carlson is not his only fanboy. yesterday, donald trump, former president united states, took it in extraordinary step of endorsing him. viktor orban, of hungry, once a few forest people, i'm laughing because this, is the best he can work. he wants a power -- stopping immigration, stopping jobs, trade and should be allowed to do so in the upcoming election. he is a strong leader and respected by all. he has my complete, support and endorsement for reelection's prime minister. it's our take awaiting the vision of london and of american rule democracy, by endorsing a guy who is doing it, in another country. when conservatives like truck on ben carlson say they want to use the power of the state to defang liberal society, believe them. i'll talk to an expert on the danger there finding presents here on the u.s., next. , next this is elodia. she's a recording artist. 1 of 10 million people that comcast has connected to affordable internet in the last 10 years. and this is emmanuel, a future recording artist, and one of

and you see all of these right wing cheerleaders on fox like tucker carlson almost begging for it to happen. right, how is it that a defeated president who lost the popular vote by any other president retains this power over his party the way one does? is it because he is -- he's invented this fantasy world and he's got them all trapped in there? >> what he did is what so many strong men in the past have done. he scanned the political marketplace, and he saw an opening in creating a kind of big tent for all the malcontents, all the the extremists, and allowing the gop to partner with him to realize this kind of fantasy built on lies and, you know, white christian utopia because both of them know that the gop, you know, can't win the popular vote. it needs to use trickery to have minority rule because it won't accept what we are in america, which is a multiracial democracy, something to be proud of. instead, it creates this universe full of, you know, fantasies and lies. and so donald trump, you know, they use each other. this was what happens with autocrats and their parties. it's li

and there's tucker carlson, minister of information, and this is very typical. what we're living through now is the gop is constructing an authoritarian political culture to support illiberal rule. a lot of the stuff going on, look how many people who were involved in january 6th are running for office. that's because you need extremists in government and in the party. and then you have these, you know, mini trumps who have learned the lessons of trump and want to surpass him, like desantis. so all of these things are legible, are understandable through the, you know, making an authoritarian culture for the future. >> and based on all of it, i mean should we even view the republican party as the republican party, you know, of just the last ten years? i mean has it changed so much that it really -- it should be called something else? i've been calling it the trump-owned party, the t.o.p. but it's not really the republican party you and i grew up with. >> no. it was already on its way to becoming an extremist party and losing some of the values of bipartisanism. a
