Listen Later

In this short episode, Alex starts by playing a 2003 interview with Tucker Carlson on CSPAN. Carlson calls out Bill O’Reilly and predicts that O’Reilly can’t play a character on TV forever. In a sense, Carlson is describing his future and providing a portal into his own future on Fox News. Alex then discusses why he is perplexed by Tucker’s transormation. He argues that Tucker did not change for the funny since he was one of the only journalists at the time that came from money and did not really need any more.
