Well.

Okay.

It would probably be better if he just continued to capitalize on the backlash against Jews.

NYT claimed that after he said Jews support mass immigration and hate white people, Twitter was “scrambling to contain the fallout.” In reality, only one company pulled ads. We are already at a point where cries of “anti-Semitism” (I don’t know about that hyphen anymore) sounds like a boy crying wolf. Everyone, including Twitter advertisers, are exhausted by it, and the public doesn’t care. NYT can smear Twitter’s advertisers with this label, and nothing will happen to them.

I also suspect that many of the advertisers are sick of being used as pawns in this Jewish game to destroy people. The entire concept here is that the ADL, a shakedown group, calls these advertisers and informs them in so many words that if they do not stop advertising on Twitter, they will be smeared as antisemites all through the media, including and especially in the New York Times, where both the publisher and editor-in-chief are Jews with whom Jonathan Greenblatt has a personal relationship.

It’s actually probably illegal what he is doing. But this is how the Jews have always operated: they have an ethnic network that they use to hurt people they view as enemies. Musk is an enemy.

It doesn’t matter if an ad appears next to “hate.” No one would ever even think about that concept other than Jews. Companies do not worry about their reputation being damaged by the ad, they worry about Jonathan Greenblatt using his connections in the media to damage their reputation.

Of course, the Times will simply say they are just reporting what happened, very innocently.

But has any single person ever stopped doing business with a company because the company’s ad appeared next to “hate” on social media? I don’t believe it’s ever happened. The Jews themselves don’t even care, because even if they are really sensitive to the content of the tweet, any normal person is capable of understanding that this is just something that happens.

It’s clearly a criminal conspiracy to engage in mass tortious interference with Twitter’s business relationships.

By the way, the ADL also did this to Facebook. Zuck totally caved and now the ADL has free rein to decide what is allowed on the platform.

Tim Pool, a radical centrist and boomer-whisperer, has been locked out of his Twitter account for using the term “groomer.”

Apparently, Twitter is instituting a policy that it is against homosexuality to criticize child molestation, and it is against the rules to be against homosexuals on Twitter.

Life Site News:

Twitter has begun suspending accounts for using the pejorative “groomer,” deeming the label “hateful conduct” after appeals from left-wing voices to the social media giant.

“We are committed to combating abuse motivated by hatred, prejudice, or intolerance, particularly abuse that seeks to silence the voices of those who have been historically marginalized,” Twitter health product communications lead Lauren Alexander told the Daily Dot, which advocated for the change. “For this reason, we prohibit behavior that targets individuals or groups with abuse based on their perceived membership in a protected category.”

“Use of this term is prohibited under our Hateful Conduct policy when it is used as a descriptor, in context of discussion of gender identity,” she added. “We recognize we have more work to do to ensure this content is addressed in a timely and consistent manner and we continue to invest in our automated tools and people teams to identify and address gaps in our enforcement.”

The policy change has already been used to temporarily suspend James Lindsay, a mathematician and Twitter personality who tweeted “OK groomer” at Ari Drennen, LGBTQ program director at the far-left Media Matters:

Twitmo made me confess to another crime I don't actually recognize. Lmao. I recommend following me somewhere else too. Also follow @NewDiscourses. pic.twitter.com/SEbMaHfaxJ

— James Lindsay, America's top Christian nationalist (@ConceptualJames) July 27, 2022

Despite the framing of Twitter and its left-wing allies, however, “groomer’s” current usage is not about sexual orientation. The term traditionally refers to pedophiles’ manipulation of children in order to molest them. Over the past year, conservatives have adopted it to identify far-left activists who push sexually-charged topics on prepubescent children, from gender fluidity to same-sex attraction to sexual promiscuity.

Some have objected to this use of the label on the grounds that rhetorically tying one’s political opponents to pedophilia is tremendously severe, and these activists are generally not directly molesting children.

…

Lindsay stands by using “groomer” to denote both sexual predators and those who indoctrinate children into “queer Marxist ideology.”

“I call people who engage in either of these grooming behaviors ‘groomers’ because it’s wrong to do and because that’s what they’re doing: grooming,” he told the Daily Caller.

I think it’s probably fair to call this “child molestation.”

I mean, you’ve all seen the videos we post here. There is a lot of touching of the small children by these homosexuals. But it is certainly psychological molestation.

And it is definitely “grooming.”

But hey – let’s hear what the homos have to say.

Neo-Nazis believe that Jews are destroying the white race. One way they are doing this is to encourage a single global culture which erases the distinctions between ethnic groups & cultures. This is global homogenisation, or ‘globohomo’.

— Tim Squirrell (@timsquirrell) July 28, 2022

A crucial element of this is the belief that queer identities can be “encouraged”, or that people can be manipulated into becoming gay or trans. In other words, that they can be “groomed”.

— Tim Squirrell (@timsquirrell) July 28, 2022

The expansion of the definition of ‘grooming’ is also not an accident. It conflates the attempts by actual paedophiles to abuse children with the mere existence of queer people in public spaces.

Addendum: white nationalists Patriotic Alternative are delighted by the reception they’re getting from these protests. They see this as an opportunity to recruit. Stoking the panic by portraying the protests sympathetically is playing into Nazis’ hands. pic.twitter.com/wdn8Zv76Ty

As I pointed out on Wednesday, all of the internet censorship we’ve seen since the election of Donald Trump has been primarily aimed at ensuring that he doesn’t get reelected by silencing all of his supporters. I was targeted for extreme censorship in 2017 not because of I made fun of a fat woman, but because I had been identified as someone who played a role in electing Donald Trump by getting out the youth vote.

We know it isn’t about “white supremacy,” because people who are in the media constantly as white supremacists are allowed to operate openly on basic social media platforms, while mainstream Trump supporters are being banned.

One mainstream Trump supporter to be banned from Twitter recently was Katie Hopkins, a British pundit who knew Trump from having appeared on his show The Apprentice.

Twitter didn’t explain why they banned her, but claimed it was necessary to keep people safe. It’s kind of funny that they have the nerve to use the “safety” terminology, since that was exactly what the liberals of the 70s and 80s were fighting against when they were trying to legalize vulgarity and obscenity. I always think of the iconic Frank Miller propaganda advertisement that ran in every Dark Horse comic when I was a kid, where censorship is equated to child rape.

(Miller would later run up against censorship for his statements against Islam and communism, and then completely cuck out, which he never did when he was defending obscenity.)

Of course, people were safe around Katie Hopkins’ tweets for years, so you would think something would have to have changed to make them unsafe around her tweets now, but no. (She is saying now she was banned after making a Blackadder reference, but it was clearly arbitrary.)

Interestingly, I stumbled across an article from Media Matters for America (archive link), a Jewish anti-speech activism group funded by the Jewish leader George Soros, calling for her to be banned in August of 2019.

The article, by the Jew Alex Kaplan, lists off citations of pretexts for banning from social media. What MMFA does is compile these lists so that when the social media companies ban people, if they are pressed by the media on why they did the ban, they can cite these lists. When Twitter staff were pressed on bannings by Tim Pool on the Joe Rogan show, they appeared to be looking at MMFA for explanations as to why they banned people.

What is interesting though is that the article was framed as examining the relationship between Trump and Hopkins.

What Twitter appears to be doing now is going through the Media Matters archives and identifying people with large followings who support Trump to be banned from the platform.

The goal is to create a situation where it appears that no one supports Donald Trump at all, and also to make sure that people do not understand the legitimate arguments for voting for Trump.

Basically, I’m the first one to admit how disappointed I am with Donald Trump’s presidency. However, I’ve also got a much larger and historic view of what’s going on in the larger scheme of things, and I can see that what is being planned here is for a black figure – probably Kamala Harris, maybe Stacy Abrams – to ride in on the back of the zombie corpse of Joe Biden, and give birth to a new America, where the oppression of and ultimately the killing of whites will be socially acceptable.

If the Democrats win, they are going to grant citizenship to the 30-50 million “Latinos” already in the country, which will mean a Republican can never win an election again, and we will just be subjected to a slow slaughter.

Conversely, if Trump wins, it is possible that we can get Tucker Carlson elected in 2024, and he can do what needs to be done to fix this country, given that he understands the situation so much better than Trump and has more deeper personal convictions than Trump.

This is to say, there are future paths which you can get general ideas about, and when you are concerned about a future for White Christian Civilization, a Biden victory is disastrous and so much bigger than a simple election.

These ideas are things that can be broken down into bits and bytes and MEMES and transmitted to the people, if you have access to networks of communication. I’ve proved capable of pushing these kinds of ideas up into places like the Katie Hopkins Twitter feed. So all of that has to be blocked off in the run-up to the election, so that the people are not able to vote (or make the decision to not bother voting) with complete information.

This program of banning people is not only election meddling, but it is also voter suppression.

Someone needs to start figuring out a plan to get this information to the people. I think we need to start really thinking about going around and knocking on people’s doors and letting them know that the killing is about to begin. In fact, what you should do is combine campaigning for Donald Trump with campaigning for yourself for a local government office, and you should start that now. You need to get into local government. Trump needs to stay in national government.

We’re just going to have to do this the old fashioned way, like the Mormons.

Just make sure you have full sleeves and a red tie because people won’t open the door if they think you’re a Mormon.

Fox hasn’t uploaded the clip, so you have to watch the beginning of this to see his comments: 

Tucker is going into TOTAL WAR mode against the people trying to destroy him by releasing funny clips of him on a talk show ten years ago talking about women and minorities.

Everyone is being shut down, he says – because of “wrongthink.”

“This is what an authoritarian society looks like. It’s a place where the group in charge will tolerate no disagreement at all.”

Of course it is.

I don’t know how anyone, anywhere can deny that at this point.

I guess that all of the sci-fi predicted that an authoritarian society would be right-wing. Or most of it did. A Brave New World was the most accurate, except that was showing a perfect version of what this society is trying to become. Anthony Burgess also had some good ideas. In particular, The Wanting Seed was very influential on me as a kid. That book, written in 1962, depicts active discrimination against heterosexuals, because the government is trying to stop people from breeding.

But certainly, all of the films – which have had a much bigger impact on culture – depict any authoritarianism as fundamentally right-wing.

The concept is so deeply ingrained that the soldiers of authoritarianism actually go out there and pretend like they are fighting against authority.

It’s bizarre to the point where you are left thunderstruck.

It’s hard to formulate words to explain a situation where people attacking you on the street because they disagree with your speech because it is unapproved by the government and corporations are claiming that they’re doing it fight to authoritarianism.

But that’s where we’re at.

Tucker goes into how this plot is being implement: by claiming that anyone who disagrees is evil.

And he blames the people responsible for that: the SPLC.

They categorize the Daily Stormer just like they categorize Tucker: as so evil that they can’t even be talked to, there is no obligation to discuss ideas with them, because all of their ideas are simply hatred. And so they have to be silenced.

If you go to the SPLC website, they aren’t refuting anyone’s claims.

They aren’t explaining why:

• Diversity is our greatest strength
• We should send billions to Israel
• Jews are the single richest and most influncial group on earth, but are also somehow victims of the working class in the countries they rule
• What the purpose of mass immigration actually is
• etc.

None of our arguments are ever refuted, they simply call people names, or try to dig up some embarrassing personal thing to use as an insult. And then they call for everyone to be silenced because they’re pure evil.

Tucker connects the SPLC to Media Matters, which is the group trying to shut him down. Media Matters is a Soros group that basically just takes the information fed to them by the SPLC and applies it to talk show hosts. It’s a more specialized version of the SPLC.

And like the SPLC, its single goal is to silence dissent.

Imagine that groups like this are even allowed to exist.

Why, in an allegedly free society, do you have massive organizations – operating as non-profits and thus subsidized by taxpayers – that exist for the singular purpose of silencing people with ideas that they disagree with?

It is an insane concept.

If they have arguments against our ideas, then why don’t they use all of this money to put together refutations? To debate the ideas? Isn’t that the way an “open society” is supposed to function?

He also brings up the fact that the Jewish lesbian AG of Michigan, Dana Nessel, has pledged to work with the SPLC to silence anyone they want silenced, using the police.

This is the new model – they are just going to start putting anyone with politically incorrect thoughts in a police database, then figure out how to destroy them.

The Detroit News:

Combating hate crimes is a worthy endeavor. But the new campaign announced by Attorney General Dana Nessel has the real potential to morph into thought policing.

Nessel, in partnership with Agustin Arbulu, director of the Michigan Department of Civil rights, say they will create a process to document incidents of hate and bias that don’t rise to the level of criminal or civil infractions.

That could translate to speech or expressions of opinion that some may find offensive, but are protected by the First Amendment. Bias is protected by the Constitution until it infringes on the rights and freedoms of others, and hate is often in the eye of the beholder.

If what Nessel and Arbulu are targeting are words, thoughts and opinions, this could easily become a weapon to shut down groups they find abhorrent, but are operating within the law.

Tucker says: “Criticize the people in charge, and the SPLC will sic men with guns on you.”

And yes.

That is exactly where we are at.

Thank Jesus Christ that Tucker is refusing to apologize.

I think he’s going to weather this storm.

If they were going to fire him, they already would have.

He got out in front of this, made sure his supporters were defending him, and he’s holding his ground.

The Soros-funded group “Media Matters” – which was also, interestingly enough, founded by David Brock, who was the homosexual boyfriend of the owner of Comet Ping-Pong – has “unearthed” another batch of Tucker Carlson comments on the “Bubba the Love Sponge” show from the mid-2000s.

Earlier this week, we got a batch of comments on women – this is the racism batch!

Really, really good stuff.

He calls Arabs “semiliterate primitive monkeys” and says “white people created civilization.”

He also said Iraqis aren’t human and should shut the fuck up and obey.

Overall though… this was stuff that really wasn’t all that edgy in the 2000s. He is saying it in an edgy way, but young people don’t really remember how much different things were back then. It was not the same society we live in today a decade ago. Our current culture doesn’t even resemble it.

So if he gets fired for this, it will be him getting fired for something that wasn’t banned when he said it – a retroactive enforcement of political correctness. I was pretty sure he wouldn’t get fired for the woman stuff, but with this stuff… it’s a bit more iffy.

He’s not going to apologize, which gives him a lot of power.

His refusal to apologize was very powerful (this was recorded before the second tape drop).

— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) March 12, 2019

His people can rally around him, because he didn’t apologize. When you apologize, your base can’t defend you, because you are saying what you did is indefensible.

It’s a hard place for Fox, that wants to fire him and is being given a reacharound by the Democrats to do so. But they don’t know what is going to happen if they fire their most-watched host for political correctness.

It will wreak havoc on their ratings, and might just make them irrelevant completely. Right now, they are using the fact that they host Tucker to get people to care about Neil Cavuto, Hannity and other complete and total shills.

And Tucker is going to be fine on YouTube if he gets fired from Fox.

And he’ll be able to go a lot further than he goes now.

Below are all the comments (with linked clips), organized by Media Matters. 

Carlson: Immigrants should be “hot” or “really smart” because people picking lettuce aren’t going to build a stronger country.

TUCKER CARLSON: You got me going. Well, you’re talking about God and illegals and — you got a pretty heavy show. I thought we were just going to be talking about blow jobs.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Jesus, Tuck.

CO-HOST: By the way, Tucker, Dan’s immigration plan is marry an illegal, and that’s — that was what he did. So — so, every American, go do it.

CO-HOST: Hey, easy there, Steve.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Dr. Diaco, man. Let me tell you something about Dr. Diaco. Thirty-nine-years-old, soon to be 40 in a couple weeks, fucking stud, you know, works on hot chicks’ boobs all day, and then he finds this 19-year-old — he’s — he’s 40, by the way, and he finds this 19-year-old chick, fresh off the boat, who is about the fucking hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Just recently got married. So yes, that’s probably the best immigration program I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

CO-HOST: They know the role. She’s loving being an American now.

THE LOVE SPONGE: God, she —

CARLSON: Yeah, there’s some really good, I mean, immigrants. I just think it’s, you know, people who come to this country ought to have something to offer. Be hot, be really smart, you know what I mean?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, I —

CO-HOST: Exactly. Desirable.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Exactly, hot or smart, and that’s about it.

CARLSON: Hot or smart, that’s right. But people to come over and pick lettuce, I mean, I’m not saying that’s an undignified — I mean, that’s great, you know, and I admire people who work hard, but on the other hand, is that — are those people who are going to build, you know, a stronger country 20 years from now? [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 5/17/06]

Tucker Carlson: “White men” deserve credit for “creating civilization.”

CO-HOST: You’re telling me.

TUCKER CARLSON: I don’t like the feminist crap. I hate that and that’s one of the reasons I despise the Democrats because they’re always rolling that crap out. “Well, you don’t like him because he’s Black. You don’t like her because she’s a woman.” Oh, shut the fuck up.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: But go ahead, Spice.

CO-HOST: Hang on, Tuck. So you’re telling me that this choice of him choosing Sarah [Palin] was a better choice than a Romney?

CARLSON: Yes, definitely.

CO-HOST: I just can’t see it.

CARLSON: I feel like a more risky choice, needless to say, but don’t think Rom — you get anything out of Romney, I really don’t.

CO-HOST: You get money and Michigan.

CARLSON: I know a lot of smart people disagree with me and I may be wrong, I just don’t get it.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Tucker, you get money and you get Michigan — with Mitt Romney, you get money and you get Michigan. With Charlie Crist —

CARLSON: I don’t know that you get Michigan, I really don’t.

THE LOVE SPONGE: And with Charlie Crist, you get fucking Florida, my friend.

CARLSON: I think they think they’re getting Florida.

CO-HOST: I would really disagree. I think a lot of Floridians that I’ve talked to — especially on Monday, I talked to a lot of people that are pissed off that McCain didn’t go with Charlie in Florida.

THE LOVE SPONGE: At the end of the day, man, they should’ve went with [Mike] Huckabee, that’s who they should’ve gone with.

CO-HOST: Absolutely, they should’ve gone with Huckabee

CARLSON: Why?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, that delivers the evangelical fucking vote and the South.

CO-HOST: And Huckabee’s a likable guy. Yup. Huckabee’s a likable guy that people will vote for.

THE LOVE SPONGE: See, we got it all figured out. We’re just talking to ourselves, we don’t even need Tucker. We got it all fucking figured out.

CARLSON: Well that’s a really — I don’t know, Huckabee? Yeah, maybe Huckabee, I don’t know though. Look, everybody is so intimidated by, you know, the Democratic Party and those whackies in the media on this race and gender nonsense. The country’s so fucked up on the subject that getting a white man, I mean everyone’s embarrassed to be a white man I guess, that’s a bad thing.

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, I love being a white man. It kicks ass, my friend. I love it.

CARLSON: I don’t have a problem with it. I don’t really think of the world in those terms but, you know, white men, you know, they’ve contributed some, I would say.

CO-HOST: Well, quite a lot.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Tucker’s high on pills.

CARLSON: Well, I mean creating civilization and stuff, I think they’ve done a pretty — I don’t know, whatever! I just don’t like to think of the world in those terms but —

THE LOVE SPONGE: How many pieces of Nicorette has he had today?

CARLSON: A lot of people would rather see the world in those terms and a lot of people in politics do, and now the Republicans do even more and I just disapprove.

THE LOVE SPONGE: As a regular working lunch-pail guy like me, OK, not a very smart man at all, this is how I look at it. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 9/3/08]

Carlson: “Iraq is a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys — that’s why it wasn’t worth invading.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Fine people of Canada, please understand that Tucker is a very good friend of mine, but I in no way, shape, or form share his views of how he feels about people from Canada. I love Canada. They’re great people up there. Tucker feels that you guys are a bunch of assholes.

TUCKER CARLSON: I totally disagree. If I didn’t like Canada, I wouldn’t consider it worth invading. I mean, Iraq is a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys — that’s why it wasn’t worth invading.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Keep burying yourself.

CARLSON: But Canada’s a solid place with good-looking women and good fishing. We should invade.

THE LOVE SPONGE: You will never get a speaking engagement in Canada, I promise. If whomever’s going to hire you, they need to call me first and do a little bit of due diligence because —

CARLSON: Actually, did you know — this is totally true — I actually had a speaking gig canceled in Canada because of that.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Seriously?

CO-HOST: Really?

CARLSON: I swear to God, last year. Yes, I did. Because I called them our retarded cousins. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 10/7/08]

Carlson: Afghanistan is “never going to be a civilized country because the people aren’t civilized.”

CO-HOST: That’s kind of what it is now outside of the areas controlled by the NATO forces. I mean —

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, it’s never going to be a civilized country because the people aren’t civilized. So — but the question is can you mitigate the risk of, you know, Al Qaeda moving there again and setting up a home base unmolested. Yeah, you can do that. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 9/23/09]

Carlson: The war in Iraq could turn around “if, somehow, the Iraqis decided to behave like human beings.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: [George W.] Bush, this Bush has to go down as the worst president that I can remember, ever.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, he will not go down as a good president. I agree. I agree. I mean, if Iraq turns out to be a great thing —

THE LOVE SPONGE: How can it turn out to be great? How could you salvage Iraq at this point?

CARLSON: I don’t — You know, it’s beyond our control. I mean if, somehow, the Iraqis decided to behave like human beings or something. It’s beyond that. We can’t — I don’t think we can control. I think that’s the whole lesson of Iraq is that it is very difficult to control other people’s countries.

CO-HOST: Yeah. Occupy it because there’s no insurgency that has ever been successful. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 3/11/08]

Carlson: I have “zero sympathy” for Iraqis because they “don’t use toilet paper or forks.” They should “just shut the fuck up and obey” us.

CO-HOST: Well, here’s the deal, everybody. These Arabs in Iraq aren’t playing. We’re the only ones that are playing.

CO-HOST: They don’t like us.

CO-HOST: We are the only ones that are playing over there. They’re not playing.

TUCKER CARLSON: They’re also so just awful. Just awful.

CO-HOST: They’re animals, dude. They are.

CARLSON: I hate the war. You know, I’m not defending the war in any way, but I just have zero sympathy for them or their culture. A culture where people just don’t use toilet paper or forks.

CO-HOST: And the way they treat women — you know, I agree with you. Their culture is — but you’re in their homeland, and you’re over there as an American, who they hate, and they want nothing more than the Americans off of their soil, so they’re not going to play games.

CARLSON: The second we — they can just shut the fuck up and obey, is my view. And, you know, the second we leave, they’re going to be calling for us to return because they can’t govern themselves. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 5/30/06]

Carlson fantasized about a presidential candidate blaming “lunatic Muslims who are behaving like animals” and saying “I’m going to kill as many of them as I can if you elect me.”

TUCKER CARLSON: I think they are. On the other hand, you know, the bottom line is the issue of security — who’s going to protect the country against, you know, the Muslim lunatics who want to hurt us — is the only thing the Republicans have left. They can’t claim that they’re, you know, the party of fiscal restraint anymore. They’re big spenders, and that’s obvious. But that one argument, “Vote for us, we’ll protect you,” that still works, because on — you know, let’s be totally real. Nancy Pelosi’s going to keep you safe while you sleep? I don’t think so. She’s not.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: So — so, now listen, can the Democrats not — in the nine, or 10, or eight, or however many months there is — can they not regroup or get a strategy going with, “Listen, we need to — the only thing that these Republicans have is to keep you guys safe.” Can they not, you know, responsibly come up with some type of game plan where they can make us feel — make people feel safe as well?

CARLSON: I think if they’re — Oh, they could, absolutely. If there were a Democrat to come out in the 2008 election and say, “You know what the problem is? It’s Islamic extremism. It’s not terror, it’s not some, you know, indefinable threat out there. It’s these lunatic Muslims who are behaving like animals, and I’m going to kill as many of them as I can if you elect me.” If a Democrat were to say that, he would be elected king, OK?

THE LOVE SPONGE: So, I mean, like if a Democrat could say — hey, if the Democrat basically had the same stance as you, and say, “Listen, the only thing that they have is they have everybody worked into a fever frenzy with regards to the country and how safe that their particular party can keep them. Well I, as a Democrat, can assure you that my party is going to be proactive in fighting these radical assholes.” Don’t you think that guy would be money?

CARLSON: Yeah, but I think he’d need to say, “Look, I’m a bigot. OK, I’m a bigot. I don’t like Islamic extremists. Like if you are really heavily into Islam, I really — I’m sorry, I just don’t — I don’t care for you that much. And I don’t care what that sounds like, you can call me a racist, you can call me whatever the fuck you want.”

THE LOVE SPONGE: And at this juncture, you could say that and not catch a lot of shit for it.

CARLSON: You certainly could. I’d vote for you if you said that. And I think that most Americans would.

…

CO-HOST: So, basically we need a racist president. “We need to get these Mexicans out of here, and the Islam. Let’s kill all the Muslims.”

CARLSON: Well, I don’t think —

CO-HOST: We need that.

CARLSON: I — you know, I think that you’re onto something. I mean, not someone who’s like a Klansman or anything, but someone who’s totally unbound by P.C. rules, who will just say whatever the hell he wants.

You know, someone who really will — and everyone claims, “Oh, I say it like it is.” But nobody actually does. The guy who does, who says, “I’m unabashedly pro-American. Fuck the French. Who cares what they think? The Belgians? They don’t like it, they can pound sand.” You know what I mean? That guy is going to get elected. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 3/21/06]

Carlson: “The Congressional Black Caucus exists to blame the white man for everything, and I’m happy to say that in public because it’s true.”

TUCKER CARLSON: I’ve seen a lot more of the typical — and I mean this — typical whining from a Black politician about how, “You don’t like me because I’m Black.” Using racism as a defense, right? I catch you doing something bad, “Well, oh, you’re a racist.” That is something that I have covered up close and personal my entire adult life for 17 years being around Black politicians saying that exact thing. The Congressional Black Caucus exists to blame the white man for everything, and I’m happy to say that in public because it’s true. Everyone knows it’s true. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 8/5/08]

Carlson called efforts to increase diversity in radio programming “worse than Jim Crow.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: And meanwhile, if it does go through, we have to give up to 20 percent of our programming to African-Americans.

CO-HOST: Yeah, non-Hispanic minorities.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yes, 20 percent of our channels have to be donated for free to a non-Hispanic, Black company.

TUCKER: CARLSON: Why would that — I mean, on what grounds?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Because they’re the fucking FCC and what they say goes. Period. Now how fucking unfair is that?

CARLSON: That’s the Democratic Party for you, right there, all that racial nonsense.

CO-HOST: But it’s the Republican FCC that’s held it up this long.

THE LOVE SPONGE: It’s the Republican, it’s the Repub —

CARLSON: Has it really? Hasn’t — Kevin Martin is for that?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yep. Now — well you know the makeup of the FCC is 3-2 with Republicans being 3.

CARLSON: That’s the most racist thing I think I’ve heard today.

THE LOVE SPONGE: So the bottom line is they’re going to — All the good people that’ve worked for both companies, XM and Sirius, all the good wonderful broadcasters that have worked so hard putting these things on, all the people that’ve cut the deals, all the technology, and all the engineers, everybody from A to Z, all that shit goes out the window and you have to hand over 20 percent of your fucking channels to somebody else for free, basically —

CARLSON: Who didn’t do shit.

CO-HOST: Right.

CARLSON: Just because of the color of his skin, he gets an advantage over you.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Abso-fucking-lutely.

CARLSON: So how is that different from Jim Crow? In fact, how is that not worse than Jim Crow?

CO-HOST: It really is. And to boot, Tucker, it’s not like Sirius doesn’t have any African-American programming. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 7/14/08]

Carlson agreed that Michelle Obama is “going to be a problem for him” because she “turns into a sister” as part of a racist discussion about the Obamas

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Tuck! We’re talking about the fine African-American presidential candidate playing fucking basketball.

TUCKER CARLSON: I’m so sorry. You started yelling and it reset my phone.

CO-HOST: You know what, he would kick your ass and school you in basketball.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Hey, Tucker. Obama would kick your ass playing basketball

CARLSON: Yeah, of course he would. Basketball? Come on.

THE LOVE SPONGE: He’s Black — say it. He’s a real brother. Do you think —

CARLSON: I don’t know how Black he is, but I’m sure he’s a good basketball player — he says he is, anyway.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I’ve been watching Obama’s wife, is it Michelle?

CO-HOST: Michelle, yeah.

THE LOVE SPONGE: It seems like they might have her — they might be whitening her a little bit. What do you think?

CO-HOST: I’ll tell you what, yesterday she got ghetto and started snapping her neck. I’m like, that’s a real sister right there.

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, she needs to do less of that, man. People in Indiana and Pennsylvania —

CARLSON: She’s going to be a problem for him.

CO-HOST: If you, if you —

CARLSON: I know you guys are so, deeply in like grade-school, embarrassed-to-stand-up kind of love with him.

CO-HOST: No, with her.

THE LOVE SPONGE: No.

CARLSON: With her? Are you all for her too?

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, I think she can be a problem. She can be a liability.

CARLSON: She’s got an edge to her that’s bad.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah. I agree.

CARLSON: I’m not attacking her personally. I’m just saying, as a public figure, you just get the feeling she’s got a major chip on her shoulder.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Not only that.

CO-HOST: So what?

THE LOVE SPONGE: But she gets a little chicken-headed at times.

CO-HOST: I love it.

THE LOVE SPONGE: She turns into a sister —

CARLSON: Turns into a sister.

THE LOVE SPONGE: She does. She gets that whole, you know, three snaps and a fucking whirl around kind of deal.

CO-HOST: I love it. That gets me —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, you see, I’m a guy who loves Obama, but that kind of shit I don’t like. They need to whiten her up a little bit.

CO-HOST: That’s so racist.

THE LOVE SPONGE: That’s not racist.

CO-HOST: They need to whiten her up?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah. It’s not. I’m going to vote for her husband. He’s a Black man.

CO-HOST: He’s half-Black, that’s why you like him. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 4/16/08]

Carlson: “Everybody knows that Barack Obama would still be in the state Senate in Illinois if he were white.”

TUCKER CARLSON: I still can’t get over, you know, Obama saying, “They’re going to attack me because I’m Black.” I mean, that’s just ridiculous. I mean, that is so low to say something like that.

CO-HOST: Well, see, Tucker, here’s the —

CARLSON: Everybody knows that Barack Obama would still be in the state Senate in Illinois if he were white.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Hold on now —

CARLSON: I mean —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Hold on, Tucker, hold on. You don’t know —

CARLSON: That’s true. Come on. Let’s be real here.

THE LOVE SPONGE: You don’t deal with the public like we do. We have an open forum to the public, and we hear how these people think, and how these people act. And let me tell you something, he’s not far off.

CO-HOST: No, he’s not far off.

THE LOVE SPONGE: We answer the phone and be like, “Hi, Bubba Show.” “Yeah, let me tell you something, that fucking n—– ain’t going to — and fuck.” I mean, seriously. It’s really sad, Tucker, you have no —

CARLSON: Well, there are some serious crackers out there. I’m not saying that there aren’t racists.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I’m just telling you, Tucker, you don’t have —

CARLSON: There are tons of ugly, ugly, ugly racists out there.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Living in your little Beltway —

CARLSON: I’m just saying it cuts both ways. I mean, it cuts both ways.

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, no, no.

CARLSON: And Obama has — will he be hurt by the fact he’s Black? There’s no question about that. No one doubts that. But he will also be helped, as he has been helped. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 8/5/08]

Carlson on Barack Obama: “How is he Black, for one thing? He has one white parent, one Black parent.”

CO-HOST: I think John Edwards — the sky’s the limit for him if he really hones his skills and focuses down, I think the sky’s the limit for John Edwards.

TUCKER CARLSON: He’s a great speaker, but he’s a trial — I mean, I find him really charming, he’s a nice guy in person, but he’s a trial lawyer.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Ned, you always thought he was pretty hot, didn’t you?

CO-HOST: He’s hot. You know what — you know who else is good in the Democratic Party is Barack Obama. I think he’s —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Oh man, I — that Black guy from Chicago?

CO-HOST: Yep.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I love that guy. How about you? I love that guy, Tucker.

CARLSON: I don’t really see the appeal with that guy.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, he’s Black, and he’s pretty —

CARLSON: How is he Black, for one thing? He has one white parent, one Black parent.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, he —

CARLSON: So that makes him — I mean, why isn’t he white?

CO-HOST: Well, the U.S. government says that if you’re more than 33 percent a minority, then you’re that minority.

CARLSON: That sounds like some kind of Nazi rule.

CO-HOST: Well, that’s our government!

CARLSON: I know, and I totally disapprove of that!

THE LOVE SPONGE: He’s Black, he’s well-educated, he’s well-spoken, and some asshole tried to move in and take his territory, didn’t they, Brent? I’m thinking pro wrestling terms.

CO-HOST: Yeah, Alan Keyes tried to move in there —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, he got his —

CO-HOST: He got ripped.

THE LOVE SPONGE: What a fucking dumbass.

CARLSON: Alan Keyes is one of the great figures in American life.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, that shows how much you don’t know how. Anybody could have sat Alan Keyes down and said, “You ain’t got a chance in hell with [inaudible] in Chicago, IL. It ain’t going to happen.”

CARLSON: Oh, Alan Keyes is insane.

CO-HOST: Right!

CARLSON: But he is so awesome to listen to. I once covered a speech that he gave and he was late because he’s always late. Like an hour late. And this guy comes out, his campaign manager, and starts talking to the crowd, right? And he says, “You know, I was actually a Radio Shack manager in Colorado Springs up until about three months ago when I saw Dr. Keyes on C-SPAN and I dropped everything and left my family to go work for Alan Keyes,” and he says, “Alan Keyes is such a great speaker. He’s such a great speaker!” And then the guy burst into tears. He started crying —

CO-HOST: Oh my God.

CARLSON: Talking about what a great speaker he was.

THE LOVE SPONGE: That guy is an idiot. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, [4/4/06]

Carlson denied that racism still exists while Bubba described white women with “jungle fever” as “mud sharks.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: You don’t know shit about churches.

CARLSON: Yes I do.

CO-HOST: I was raised in Southern Baptist churches my whole life. When I was 15, I quit going because those people are so stupid and fucking racist.

CARLSON: Well, that may be true, but I don’t believe that a pastor of like a legitimate church with more than 50 people in the pews —

CO-HOST: It’s used in —

CARLSON: — got up there and said the problem is Black people. I don’t believe it.

CO-HOST: It’s said in coded language, words like miscegenation.

CARLSON: Oh, OK.

CO-HOST: And everybody in the fucking congregation knows what the priest is saying.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I don’t. I don’t even know what that word means.

CO-HOST: It means Black men going out with white women is what it means.

CARLSON: It means race mixing.

THE LOVE SPONGE: We call it jungle fever where I come from.

CO-HOST: It’s race mixing.

THE LOVE SPONGE: We call them bitches mud sharks.

CO-HOST: And in places like Mississippi where they had the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission and places that were meant to subjugate Blacks, everybody in the congregation knew what that meant and the churches supported things like the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission.

CO-HOST: Tuck, Tuck, I think —

CARLSON: That’s definitely true 40 years ago, but I’m talking about in 2008. Unless it’s like that crackpot “God hates fags” guy or whatever, or Christian Identity or something, you know, I don’t —

CO-HOST: Or the guy that endorsed McCain, Hagee?

CARLSON: Yeah. He hates Black people?

CO-HOST: No, he doesn’t hate Black people, but he hates Catholics. So I mean —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, he might be onto something there. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 4/8/08]

The Soros-backed organization Media Matters has dug up some old tapes of Tucker Carlson calling into a shock jock radio show, Bubba the Love Sponge, in the 00s and saying funny things about women.

None of it is especially outrageous and I agree with all of it.

Apparently, they believe this is going to be the killshot to get him kicked off Fox News, and I seriously doubt that will be the case.

It’s possible, who knows.

But I doubt it.

It’s definitely become a huge story in the media since it was dropped a few hours ago, but all that indicates is that the media itself hates Tucker, not that people are actually interested in it.

I’m interested in it because it’s funny as hell. And obviously, much of it was tongue-in-cheek trolling.

It’s mixed in with serious stuff, but it’s a comedy radio show he was calling into. They apparently went through every single tape, and mixed in what are clear jokes with stuff that is just basic common sense.

He says that marrying a 16-year-old isn’t the same thing as grabbing a child off the street and raping her. I’m not even sure which state it is that considers marrying a 16-year-old “rape.” That’s been in the headline, that he “defends child marriage.” Firstly, it isn’t “child” marriage because a 16-year-old isn’t a child. Secondly, he directly states “I’m not supporting child marriage.”

Then he says some stuff about how women are stupid and have to be told what to do.

The rest of it is just “sexist” jokes. The same kind of stuff that was on Howard Stern 10 years ago, just less Jewish.

Tucker has refused to apologize for this “gotcha,” and instead told people to watch his show.

This isn’t a pass-fail situation. If this isn’t used to fire him, it will be used as part of the case to fire him later.

And they are going to fire him eventually. There is no question about that.

Below are the full transcripts from Media Matters.

Carlson said underage marriage is not “the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child. … The rapist in this case has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person so it is a little different.”

CO-HOST: In the eyes of the law, people that are under 16 cannot consent to sex for any reason!

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, Tucker.

CO-HOST: God!

CARLSON: I don’t — in the state of — it varies by state. I mean, I know that —

CO-HOST: I think he’s in federal prison, though. We’re talking about the —

THE LOVE SPONGE: You know, all too often, Manson thinks that you’re a god, but he’s disgusted by you today. He really is.

CARLSON: OK.

CO-HOST: Having sex with a —

CARLSON: I’m not —

CO-HOST: 15-year-old is —

CARLSON: Look, just to make it absolutely clear. I am not defending underage marriage at all. I just don’t think it’s the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child.

CO-HOST: Yeah, it’s — you know what it is? It’s much more planned out and plotted.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, it should be almost — you almost should put a premeditation —

CARLSON: Wait, wait! Hold on a second. The rapist, in this case, has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person, so it is a little different. I mean, let’s me honest about it.

CO-HOST: That’s twisted.

CARLSON: I’m sorry, I don’t know how I —

CO-HOST: That’s demented.

CARLSON: I got myself in a position that seem like I’m defending it, because I am against that. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, via YouTube, 08/27/09]

After Bubba the Love Sponge described underage girls at Carlson’s daughter’s boarding school experimenting sexually with each other, Carlson said, “If it weren’t my daughter I would love that scenario.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: The difference between blue-blooded rich people from Georgetown in Washington, D.C., and hillbillies from Warsaw, Indiana? Boarding school, to me when we were growing up, was what they threatened you with when you were a complete dick and unmanageable.

CO-HOST: They called it reform school.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, whatever. They said, we’re sending you away to school.

CO-HOST: Yeah.

THE LOVE SPONGE: That’s like considered a blue-blooded treat in the circles [inaudible] jackass. It’s still the same.

CO-HOST: They’ve got their kids duped.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: That is so funny. I am gonna — when I see her this weekend I’m gonna tell her you said that.

THE LOVE SPONGE: How’s this prison-like facility doing?

CARLSON: If you had seen it — it’s literally, the school is in a Robin Williams movie and I can never remember — I’ve never seen it, but it’s Mr. Chips or — it’s a movie that Robin Williams did about boarding school.

CO-HOST: Dead Poets Society?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah. Dead Poets Society.

CARLSON: Yeah. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And it was shot at her school.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, I bet it was.

CARLSON: It’s a good-looking place. I mean, it’s a great-looking place.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I know. It costs $60,000 a year. My God.

CARLSON: What they do is they hide the concertina wire. I mean, it’s there, you know, but it’s behind the guard towers so you can’t really see it as well as you would normally. No, trust me, you will send your kids to boarding school.

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, I will not, I promise you that. I love my kids and I want to hang on to them and love them and give them a kiss at night and not have to talk to them via AT&T and text them and things like that. Then they throw me a bone that I get to see them every fifth weekend. That’s considered, you know, a privilege. By the way, it’s my kid last time I checked. Jesus. You rich people.

CARLSON: My daughter, who’s a big Bubba fan, will definitely be amused.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well tell her that Bubba, big Bubba, is the one that’s sticking up for her trying to get her back into the big house. I mean, you’re treating her like a slave. Yeah, Master Dad, I’d love to be back in the big house, Master Dad. I don’t like living in a dormitory with other bad girls, please, Master Dad. She’s probably picking up —

CARLSON: Cold water showers and mush.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah. You don’t — those rich kids, man. It’s hard telling some of the stuff she’s gonna pick up.

CARLSON: Yeah. It’s — look, actually, I think it’s a more sheltered environment than it is going to–

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah.

CO-HOST: Right.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Let me just give you an example, OK? When she’s laying her head in your bed at night, you know who the hell’s in her bedroom and what they’re doing. Nobody, just her. Well, when she’s in a dormitory-type setting and these little girls start experiment around, next thing you know, you know, you got a lesbian on your hands.

CARLSON: I don’t think — I don’t think that’s likely.

CO-HOST: Next thing you know, boom.

CARLSON: I don’t think that’s —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Boom. Next thing you know —

CO-HOST: Lesbian.

CARLSON: I don’t think that’s likely. I just don’t see it.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Next thing you know, [inaudible], what’s going on in the [inaudible] dormitory? Nothing. I don’t got a PSP to play, I ain’t got nothing going on, I ain’t got my mom and dad here telling me that they love me and tuck me in bed. So, here’s Trixie, she wants to explore my body a little bit, so hey, let’s go crazy.

CO-HOST: Wow. You’re a sicko.

CARLSON: If it weren’t my daughter I would love that scenario.

CO-HOST: That’s one theory.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well I mean it’s a — Manson, Manson, can you tell him —

CARLSON: But I just can’t. And I just think that’s pretty unlikely —

THE LOVE SPONGE: As outlandish as that is, how old is your daughter?

CARLSON: 14.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Manson, can you please try to help me out here.

CO-HOST: No. I think you’re on your own on this one. I think you’re crazy.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Screw you, Manson. Fourteen-year-old girls, man, are getting into that sort of deal. Manson, you yourself told me that the new cool thing amongst girls is what?

CO-HOST: To be a fake lesbian.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Thank you. So you don’t think that does not go into the blue-blooded boarding houses as well?

CO-HOST: Well if you’ve raised your daughter right she’s not gonna, you know —

THE LOVE SPONGE: OK. I’m telling you, peer pressure’s a bitch, especially when your mom and dad aren’t there to solidify it every day. I’m telling ya. Nobody wants to listen to me.

CARLSON: Yeah, I think it’s much less likely. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, via YouTube, 10/25/09]

Carlson said criminal charges against Warren Jeffs are “bullshit” because “arranging a marriage between a 16-year-old and a 27-year-old is not the same as pulling a stranger off the street and raping her.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: You know, I’ve asked everybody in this show, because we mostly agree with you, but I have not found one person that’s on TV, a journalist, in paper — I’ve not been able to find anybody that has the same stance as you.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well that’s because nobody has the balls to articulate it because everyone is afraid of what people are going to say. I’m not endorsing polygamy. My — here’s my point: If a guy wants to be polygamist, that’s kind of his business.

THE LOVE SPONGE: But I — [crosstalk]

CARLSON: And maybe it’s — you know what I mean?

THE LOVE SPONGE: But where I think you’ve gone wrong is how you’ve downplayed how much of a crime this is, and how you’ve tried, I mean —

CARLSON: Wait, what? Crime is what? Do you know what the guy’s been charged with? I actually do know, because I got the subpoena. I got the indictment.

CO-HOST: Felony rape.

CARLSON: Felony rape, and do you know what he’s accused of doing?

THE LOVE SPONGE: But Tucker —

CARLSON: He’s not accused of touching anybody; he is accused of facilitating a marriage between a 16-year-old girl and a 27-year-old man. That’s the accusation. That’s what they’re calling felony rape. [crosstalk] That’s bullshit. I’m sorry. Now this guy may be [crosstalk], may be a child rapist. I’m just telling you that arranging a marriage between a 16-year-old and a 27-year-old is not the same as pulling a stranger off the street and raping her. That’s bullshit.

THE LOVE SPONGE: But Tuck, that’s just a small little thing that they got him on. Now, this guy is a —

CARLSON: Wait, wait, wait. Since when do you believe everything the government says? Wait a second.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Hold on. You know what —

CARLSON: All of a sudden, like we’re very skeptical about everything until like some prosecutor comes out and says, “This guy’s bad,” and the rest of us nod in agreement like a church choir, “Yeah, he’s bad.” How do we know he’s bad? What do we know exactly? Nothing.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Tucker, Tucker, settle down, lover. I mean, come on. I mean, jeez.

CARLSON: Get excited.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Has management came to you and told you to back it down a half a notch on the polygamy deal, and be honest.

CARLSON: No, but I’m sure that — no, I promise that — but I’m sure they’re totally horrified and disgusted. I mean, why wouldn’t they be? Because in TV, you have to take the most popular point of view all the time. That’s the whole idea.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Brent, help me out here.

CARLSON: Whatever the public is for, whoever the majority is for, you gotta be for. So you know what I mean? You’re not allowed to take like unpopular or confusing points of view.

CO-HOST: And Tucker, I totally understand your libertarian instincts taking over because at first, that’s mine too, but once I dug into it, I realized that these girls, actually, they just have no chance in life, because they’re not allowed to go to school past eighth grade —

CARLSON: I agree.

CO-HOST: They drive the boys —

CARLSON: It’s disgusting! I think the religion is ridiculous, I think it’s a cult, I think it’s totally immoral. But that’s not the point. The question is, two questions — one: Is this guy one of the top 10 most dangerous people in America? The answer is no, unequivocally no. And two: If you’re, like, for the government butting out of the bedroom and for gay marriage, and for the right of strip clubs to operate unimpeded by governments — how exactly can you be against polygamy? On what grounds are you against polygamy? I don’t get that.

CO-HOST: I’m against polygamy on the grounds of the pedophilia aspect of it.

CARLSON: I know, but that’s like saying I’m against marriage because some fathers beat their kids, or some fathers molest their daughters.

CO-HOST: Well, in the state of Florida, though, if you’re a 27-year-old and you marry a 16-year-old, that is felony rape in the state.

CARLSON: No, that’s not true. That is absolutely not true. That is not true. In the state of Florida, if she has the consent of her parents, you can marry her.

THE LOVE SPONGE: But it’s 23-16 in the state of Florida. I checked with the same people.

CARLSON: No, no. If she has the permission of her parents, you can marry her at 16. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 09/05/06]

Carlson: If I made the laws, “Michael Vick would have been executed and Warren Jeffs would be out on the street.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Should have said, “You know what? The act of being married to multiple people really isn’t as big of a problem as those that are 12 and 13.”

CO-HOST: Yeah, that’s what Warren Jeffs’ in prison for. He’s not in prison for polygamy, he’s in prison for child rape.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, actually, he’s not in prison for that. He didn’t — Warren Jeffs didn’t marry underaged girls, actually.

CO-HOST: No, he’s in prison for facilitation of child rape.

CARLSON: Whatever the hell that means.

CO-HOST: That means that —

CARLSON: He’s in prison because he’s weird and unpopular and he has a different lifestyle that other people find creepy.

CO-HOST: No, he is an accessory to the rape of children. That is a felony and a serious one at that.

CARLSON: What do you mean an accessory? He’s like got some weird religious cult where he thinks it’s OK to, you know, marry underaged girls, but he didn’t do it. Why wouldn’t the guy who actually did it, who had sex with an underaged girl, he should be the one who’s doing life.

CO-HOST: If I go buy a gun and hand it to you knowing that you’re gonna murder somebody, I’m just as guilty as you in the eyes of the law.

CARLSON: I totally disagree.

CO-HOST: I didn’t write the law.

CARLSON: Yeah, maybe in the eyes of the law you are, but morally you’re not as guilty. You didn’t do it.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, Tucker, last time I checked, you don’t make the laws around here, bitch.

CARLSON: I should make the — you know what, I should make the laws around here, and Michael Vick would have been executed, and Warren Jeffs would be out on the street.

THE LOVE SPONGE: The governor of Arizona, right now. That’s the problem. We’d all be —

CO-HOST: Dog killing, bad. Child rape, eh, not so much.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, dog killing, really bad.

CARLSON: — child rape. I’m not for child rape. I’m just saying, if you mistreat dogs like that, we’re going to have to execute you.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Let me. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, via YouTube, 08/27/09]

Carlson: A teacher who molested a 13-year-old took pressure off the victim’s female classmates because they wouldn’t have to sleep with him.

TUCKER CARLSON: I was just reading a story trying to figure out how to get it into our show tonight, about the kid, the 13-year-old, who was, I guess, molested, they’re saying, by his teacher, who had sex with him 28 times in one week.

…

She slept with this kid 28 times in one week. Now, I ask you —

THE LOVE SPONGE: In one week?

CARLSON: You have a lot of experience. You’ve been around, right? Could you do that?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Could I sleep with — not a kid, but could I sleep with a woman —

CARLSON: Could you sleep with a 165-pound woman 28 times in one week? Are you physically capable of doing that or do you take your hat off to this kid?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, this kid should get like a Nobel Peace Prize.

CARLSON: The Presidential Medal of Freedom, anyway.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Now at the end of the day. But see, you know, now as double standard as everybody wants to be, it just seems like so much more of a crime from this beast then it does Debra Lafave, does it not?

CARLSON: Totally. Look, my theory on this is, you know, 13-year-old boys have one goal, obviously in life —

THE LOVE SPONGE: To get laid.

CARLSON: Of course. And they take that out on 13-year-old girls. Now, 13-year-old boys getting laid, not a bad thing. Thirteen-year-old girls getting laid, bad thing. Particularly if the 13-year-old girl is your daughter, right?

THE LOVE SPONGE: See, why are we so double standard in the fact that a 13-year-old boy getting a little booty is just the man’s way, no big deal, doesn’t even really matter who it is. I mean, I guess it really does, but in our messed up mind, but boy, as soon as it’s a 13-year-old girl, everybody want to burn that person at the stake.

CARLSON: Because when a 13-year-old boy is 35 he can barely remember the girls he slept with when he was 13.

THE LOVE SPONGE: That’s true.

CARLSON: Right? But a 13-year-old girl, when she’s 35, she’s still thinking about that guy. I mean, it’s just a much deeper experience for girls at that age and they’re not ready for that.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Girls are far more screwed up then we are. We can just have sex and screw and be done with it. They really, like, they keep a part of them.

CARLSON: Exactly. So my point is that teacher’s like this, not necessarily this one in particular, but they are doing a service to all 13-year-old girls by taking the pressure off. They are a pressure relief valve, like the kind you have on your furnace. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 04/04/06]

Carlson: Former President Bill Clinton should get a divorce and “take up plural marriage or something with a bunch of teenagers in a foreign country.”

THE LOVE SPONGE: Bill Clinton is a real man, and Bill Clinton could give a fuck whether Hillary wins or loses. He’s just playing the role right now. He’s trying to get some whores. He doesn’t give a fuck about that battle-ax. He’s trying to keep her busy right now.

TUCKER CARLSON: But he can laid anytime he wants.

CO-HOST: Oh, right.

CARLSON: Why doesn’t he divorce her and, you know, take up plural marriage or something with a bunch of teenagers in a foreign country.

THE LOVE SPONGE: He’s saying, “Oh, wait, I don’t want her to drop out early, because that means she has to get off the campaign trail. Fuck that. I need to keep her going.”

CO-HOST: Yeah. You’re busy as fuck as president, man. I can get some whores.

CARLSON: No, he is doing her bidding like a good little boy. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 01/08/08]

Carlson: “It’s harder to determine what’s consensual and what’s not” when you’re with a sex worker.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Let’s get into a couple things. One, this whole Duke issue. I mean, is this not, honest to God, Tucker, in my opinion, and tell me what you think, I think these guys are innocent.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, I think they could get railroaded. I mean, you know, look, here’s the bottom line. And I said this the other day and there was all this outrage and, “How could you say that,” but I mean, this woman sells sex for a living. OK? I’m not attacking that — I’m merely noting it. She sells sex for a living. If she’s accusing other people of nonconsensual sex, it’s a little more complicated than if some, you know, housewife claims she was pulled off the street and raped. It’s just not the same thing. It’s harder to determine what’s consensual and what’s not. And to act like, you know, these guys absolutely did it because she’s this oppressed stripper, pardon me, adult dancer or exotic dancer, whatever the hell they’re calling her, is ridiculous. I mean, these kids, maybe they did do something wrong, I don’t know. But, I mean, you got to give them the benefit of the doubt. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 04/08/06]

Carlson called for the elimination of rape shield laws.

TUCKER CARLSON: Ross, I’ll tell you one thing that can be done immediately is to eliminate rape shield laws. I mean, why is it if I accuse you of embezzlement, of shooting my dog, or shooting me, of any crime, I have to go face you in open court. My name is available to anybody who’s reporting on the case, right?

CO-HOST: Sure.

CARLSON: Your name is in the public eye. My name is in the public eye. Why is it that, in this one category of crimes, the accuser doesn’t have to be treated as an adult? I don’t understand that. It gives the accuser all the power —

CO-HOST: Right.

CARLSON: — basically. So if I’m alleging rape, I have the protection of anonymity. I can say whatever I want while hiding behind anonymity, while the person I accused, whether he’s guilty or not, has his life destroyed. That’s totally unfair.

CO-HOST: Yup.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: It is true. And it’s fucking bullshit.

Co-HOST: That’s —

CARLSON: I don’t — I don’t underst — I mean, we’ve done a couple of shows on this, and we always had these feminists on who kind of, “Well, because no one would ever report rape.” Really? I don’t know. Women seem to be adults to me. I mean, in other words, if you are grievously injured by another person, it’s not your fault. I don’t understand why, if you’re an adult, you just can’t get up and say, “This is what the person did to me.” [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 05/09/06]

Carlson laughed at a story about a guest who “choked a girl out” because “she was acting up.”

TUCKER CARLSON: You guys are all back together now?

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: We’re all back together. We got ex-Buccaneer and Miami Dolphin Lamar Thomas in here, played for the University of Miami. And he choked a girl out couple years back, was in jail, made a lot of money. Just got fired from his TV gig, and has a cock the same size as a king-size Snickers bar. And he’s in the studio today.

CO-HOST: He just went to take a leak.

THE LOVE SPONGE: He just went to take a piss. And he only screws white women. And we get the best out of all the guys.

CARLSON: He told you all that stuff?

CO-HOST: Oh yeah.

THE LOVE SPONGE: That’s what we’ve got on him so far, yes.

CARLSON: Damn. Why did he choke the girl?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, we’ll find that out in a moment.

CO-HOST: She was acting up.

THE LOVE SPONGE: She was acting up.

CARLSON: She was acting — and she just didn’t listen?

THE LOVE SPONGE: He rifled her right down the stairs, too.

CARLSON: That’s pretty heavy.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, that was like 10 years —

CO-HOST: That was over 10 years ago.

CARLSON: Oh, it was 10 years.

CO-HOST: That was over 10 years ago. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 08/02/06]

Carlson didn’t say anything as co-hosts made remarks about abusing women.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: I remember when I choked out Rebecca. First person I called was you. I mean, I was freaked out. I was like, Hogan, I just choked her out, what do I do? You go, go get a hotel room, brother. So they don’t come knocking on your door.

HULK HOGAN: Yeah, she was hardcore, though. She didn’t call the cops or nothing.

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, she liked it. I think she kind of got turned on by it.

TUCKER CARLSON: What do you mean you choked her out?

HOGAN: He’s at my gym, all pumped up, eyeballs popping out of his head. He was about 245 pounds, you know, walking around all day long with his hard-on, you know, like King Kong. His girlfriend didn’t do one of the demands he wanted so he yoked her up.

THE LOVE SPONGE: That ain’t how it went, Hogan. Hogan, hold on. You know what?

[inaudible]

THE LOVE SPONGE: Let me tell you how it went.

CARLSON: So like you flew into a steroid-fueled rage and beat up your girlfriend?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Me and Hogan never done steroids ever. Look at us. I mean, Hogan’s never touched a steroid. This is how it went down, Tucker.

HOGAN: I haven’t? OK, whatever.

THE LOVE SPONGE: This is how it went down.

HOGAN: Now we’re liars too. We’re thieves and liars.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Hogan was on federal trial for steroids back in the day, Tucker. Did you know that?

CARLSON: No, I had no clue.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Man, Hogan —

HOGAN: Where’s Tucker? Tucker, bro, you got a newspaper, running water, electricity? Where you been, man?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Hey listen to this man —

CARLSON: I don’t know. I didn’t know. I mean, I’m for steroids. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 01/06/10]

Carlson described TV host Alexis Stewart, Martha Stewart’s daughter, as “cunty” and said he wanted to “give her the spanking she so desperately needs.”

CO-HOST: Yeah, Allison Stewart is actually really good looking.

TUCKER CARLSON: Do you run into Martha Stewart in the hallway over there?

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: No.

CO-HOST: Alexa Stewart, we run into her all the time.

CARLSON: She seems like a — she seems awful —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Cunt.

CO-HOST: Yeah, she is awful

THE LOVE SPONGE: They’re very cunty

CARLSON: She seems extremely cunty.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I like to hear that word, oh yeah — I stepped over him. She seems what now? Go ahead.

CARLSON: She just does seem a little cunty. I mean you said it; I’m just agreeing with you. I don’t use that word because it’s offensive —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Right. I’d love for Tucker Carlson. Tonight on MSNBC a girl that comes across kind of cunty.

CARLSON: Well she does. I mean, I heard — I mean, now I’m a Brent fan, so, I’m just stating my bias right out front here. I heard her on with him and I just wanted to give her the spanking she so desperately needs.

…

CARLSON: She seems so high maintenance, she seems like the kind of person you marry and then just the rest of your life is like hell.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, you’re fucked. She seemed like the kind of girl that you marry and then go out and have a whore on the side.

CARLSON: At least, and then go shoot yourself. And even that’s not enough to raise her spirits.

…

THE LOVE SPONGE: She’s got real big fucking Dumbo teacup for ears. She looks like a taxicab going down the road with the doors open, Brent, with her fucking ears.

CARLSON: I don’t normally laugh at girls’ appearances, just because I think it’s mean. But she — I’m bending the rule for her. [Bubba the Love Sponge, 5/2/06]

Carlson called singer Britney Spears and celebrity Paris Hilton “the biggest white whores in America.”

CO-HOST: Putting Paris and Britney in a commercial with Obama is a classic old-school miscegenation, old-South —

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Uncle Tom —

TUCKER CARLSON: Are you serious?

CO-HOST: — old-South “these two young white girls are going to be dating a Black man.”

CARLSON: So they’re trying to say that he’s coming for your pristine white daughters by putting two of the biggest white whores in America —

CO-HOST: Subliminally, yes.

CARLSON: Come on. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 8/5/08]

Bubba said Carlson wants to “fuck Sarah Palin” and Carlson said, “I’ll agree with that.” 

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, I’ll tell you exactly. I mean, honestly, I voted for McCain, again, because I like the guy personally —

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: No, because you want to —

CARLSON: And two, because —

THE LOVE SPONGE: Because you want to fuck —

CARLSON: It offends all the cultists in my neighborhood.

THE LOVE SPONGE: You want to fuck Sarah Palin.

CO-HOST: You want to talk about —

CARLSON: Well, there’s that. There is that. I’ll agree with that. [Bubba the Love Sponge, 11/04/08]

Carlson called journalist Contessa Brewer “saucy and cute.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: How does she look? I mean, she looks great on TV, but sometimes people don’t look that good in real life. How is she in real life?

TUCKER CARLSON: She’s — she looks the same. Saucy and cute.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Really?

CARLSON: She’s funny too. Yeah, she’s totally funny.

THE LOVE SPONGE: But Iike — you can never get a good bearing on the body when you’re behind that desk. What’s the body like?

CO-HOST: Is she in shape?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Is the body —

CARLSON: As far as I know, yeah, she’s like a big, you know, weight lifter and stuff. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 3/11/08]

Carlson: “If [Hillary Clinton] could castrate you, she would,” and “thereby she gets not a single vote from any white male.”

TUCKER CARLSON: Now the problem with Hillary is you look at Hillary and you know in your heart that if she could castrate you, she would.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, she would.

CARLSON: So thereby she gets not a single vote from any white male in the country. Now you can hate white males if you want, but you kind of need them to vote for you. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 3/14/06]

Carlson: If Hillary Clinton were president, “how long do you think it would take before she castrated you?”

CO-HOST: I think Evan Bayh is gonna beat Hillary in the Democratic primary because of the Midwest factor.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: And Hillary is all about — she’s not about being a vice presidential candidate, is she, Tuck?

TUCKER CARLSON: No, no, no. No, no, no. No. She has dreams of real power. Now, if she were to get real power — let’s say she were to get absolute power, how long do you think it would take before she castrated you?

THE LOVE SPONGE: How long do you think it would take before Bill stole the show? As a first husband.

CARLSON: Well that’s another point. I mean, that would be pretty entertaining. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 3/12/06]

Carlson: Hillary Clinton is “anti-penis.”

TUCKER CARLSON: But mostly it kind of leavens it. Like, here’s Hillary, but there’s also someone who isn’t so strongly anti-penis also running with her. [Bubba the Love Sponge, 1/22/08]

Carlson: Arianna Huffington is a “pig.”

CO-HOST: Yeah, you know what, I’m glad you brought that up, Tucker, because I meant to tell you that no matter how much somebody disagrees with you, I thought it was absolutely disgusting that Arianna Huffington attacked your father.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh my God, she’s a pig. And the funny thing is, I’ve known her for a long time and knew her husband and everything, and I could — I could have a lot to say about that, actually. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 10/10/06]

Carlson said Oprah Winfrey “hate[s] the penis” and is “anti-man.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: What do you think about Oprah just whoring herself out for Barack Obama?

…

THE LOVE SPONGE: You just have to have a set of cock and balls.

CARLSON: That’s exactly right. You got your tackle, you’re not watching Oprah, and that’s kind of basic. And yet somehow the rest of us have been bullied into pretending that Oprah’s great, that she doesn’t hate the penis, that she’s not anti-man.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Right.

CARLSON: But she completely is.

CO-HOST: Of course.

CARLSON: The subtext of every Oprah show is men suck. They abuse you, they rape you, they sleep with your sister and leave you.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Do you think that she’s lapping Gayle down to zero?

CARLSON: You know what, I don’t know the answer to that. That would make me like her more, I got to be honest with you.

THE LOVE SPONGE: If she was lapping Gayle to zero?

CARLSON: Oh yeah. Absolutely. I support that completely. And I think that would add a whole layer of nuance to Oprah that she doesn’t have now. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 12/11/07]

Carlson said then-Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is ugly: “I feel sorry for her in that way. I feel sorry for unattractive women.”

TUCKER CARLSON: I got to be honest with you. I don’t like [Kagan] and I wouldn’t vote to confirm her if I were a U.S. senator. But I do feel sorry for her in that way. I feel sorry for unattractive women. I mean it’s nothing they did. You know, she didn’t. Nobody deserves that. And men are just mean.

CO-HOST: Yeah, well she can certainly, I mean, shape it up a little bit. I mean lose 10 or 15 pounds, get a tan, fix those teeth.

CARLSON: No, it’s just absolutely fundamental — physically, the problems with her are fundamental. She’s never going to be an attractive woman. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 5/11/10]

Carlson: “What gets women going” is telling them “you just need to be quiet and kind of do what you’re told.”

TUCKER CARLSON: The only time that I — you know what? In my brief experience, you know what gets women going is arguing with them.

CO-HOST: Really?

CARLSON: Yeah.

CO-HOST: I never use that one.

CARLSON: It’s true. It’s true. You debate politics with a woman and just go — just full blown out there, especially feminism. If you’re talking to a feminist, and she’s given you, “Well, men really need to be more sensitive,” [say] no, actually, men don’t need to be more sensitive. You just need to be quiet and kind of do what you’re told.

CO-HOST: And lighten up a little bit, bitch.

CARLSON: They love it. They love it. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 5/2/06]

Tucker Carlson called sex workers in Florida “slutty and pathetic.”

CARLSON: How much do you guys pay for hookers?

CO-HOST: Oh, about 50 for head.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Down here you can get everything you want, everything you want, a GFE, a girlfriend experience, for a hot one, like Contessa Brewer kind of hot, for like 300 max.

CARLSON: Seriously?

THE LOVE SPONGE: Yeah, max. Like I’m talking Contessa Brewer.

CARLSON: Because the girls are just so slutty and pathetic?

THE LOVE SPONGE: No, it’s just, it’s Florida and we don’t have state taxes —

CO-HOST: We got a bunch of hot whores —

THE LOVE SPONGE: We got a bunch of hot whores down here —

CO-HOST: The market’s flooded!

CARLSON: You got a lot of crystal meth.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Shut the fuck up, like we’re gonna be fucking bitches on crystal meth.

CO-HOST: Well, you know what my wife said last night? She goes, “I wouldn’t be as mad about the whore as paying $4,300 an hour!”

CARLSON: Well that’s exactly right. That’s ridiculous.

THE LOVE SPONGE: I mean, what do you guys pay for whores up there? Obviously Eliot said he paid $4,300.

CARLSON: Well it depends. I don’t go to hookers, but —

THE LOVE SPONGE: That’s just some nerd that doesn’t know how to negotiate —

CO-HOST: But you know D.C.’s got a ton of hookers. There’s hookers all over D.C. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 03/11/08]

Carlson: “Going to the BunnyRanch is more expensive than picking up some crackhead off the streets. … Expense, in some way, is a measure of value.”

CO-HOST: Yeah, but it’s like the Nicorette is more expensive than the cigarettes.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, it’s definitely more expensive, but it’s also better.

CO-HOST: I’m thinking it’s just strictly cost.

CARLSON: I mean, you know what I mean? I mean, going to the BunnyRanch is more expensive than picking up some crackhead off the street, but I mean, or the Palm is more expensive than McDonald’s. I mean, expense, in some ways, is a measure of value.

CO-HOST: Nice analogies. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 1/22/08]

Carlson: Women are “extremely primitive, they’re basic, they’re not that hard to understand.”

TUCKER CARLSON: By the way, women hate you when they do you wrong and you put up with it.

CO-HOST: Exactly.

CARLSON: Because they hate weakness. They’re like dogs that way. They can smell it on you, and they have contempt for it; they’ll bite you.

…

CARLSON: I mean, I love women, but they’re extremely primitive, they’re basic, they’re not that hard to understand. And one of the things they hate more than anything is weakness in a man. [Bubba the Love Sponge, 10/30/07]

Carlson: “There’s no Canadian woman that you’d want to pay to sleep with.”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: You’re so unfair to these people. You’re so unfair. You’re just so close-minded.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, it’s not that I’m unfair, no, no, you’re totally — and I’ve really given this a lot of thought. They are masochists. Like, Canadians, for one thing, are just so grateful that you acknowledge their existence, that even when you criticize them, they love you for it because it’s like —

CO-HOST: No, they really don’t.

CARLSON: — if they get attacked, it means they exist. And I think to be Canadian is to wonder if you actually exist, because there’s no Canadian culture, there’s no, you know, distinctive characteristics of Canadians. Is it just like — it’s almost a kind of blob, you know what I mean? Like, what is Canada? And I take the time to criticize them, and I think they love me for it.

THE LOVE SPONGE: Well, Tucker, I can honestly tell you, you couldn’t be anything further from the truth. You are so fucking far out to lunch, and they hate you, and they want to kill you, and they want to stick a hockey stick up your fucking asshole and make you bleed internally.

CO-HOST: What’s better than hockey, weed, and whores? I mean —

CARLSON: But you know, first of all, there’s no Canadian woman that you’d want to pay to sleep with. You know that’s true.

CO-HOST: Oh, my God.

CARLSON: And second, I’m not saying they’re bad at all, like I like Canadians. They like me. We have a mutual understanding. I’m just saying they’re sad. I’ve said this before. They’re like our stalker. They have pictures of us in their bedroom and we don’t even know they exist. They’re basically obsessed with the United States. [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 11/18/08]

Carlson: “I spanked Michael Moore like a bad little girl.”

CO-HOST: I want Tuck to have a challenge. I want Michael Moore and Tucker to have a debate.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, I’ve debated Michael Moore.

CO-HOST: Have you?

CARLSON: And I have to say, I’m not bragging because I’ve lost a lot of debates on television. I’ve been embarrassed on television before.

CO-HOST: You almost had to eat your shoe.

CARLSON: But — exactly — but I spanked Michael Moore like a bad little girl and — [Bubba the Love Sponge Show, 3/14/06]

Carlson: 2008 Republican primary presidential candidate Fred Thompson is “my hero” because he said his “favorite possession” is his “trophy wife.”

TUCKER CARLSON: He’s the best. Did you see his line for the AP when they said, “What’s your favorite possession?”

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE: What did he say?

CARLSON: The Associated Press have one of these surveys, you know, where they say, “What’s your favorite color? What’s your favorite song? What’s your favorite possession?” His verbatim answer — It is a quote — “My trophy wife.”

CO-HOST: The guy has no ambition.

CARLSON: His favorite possession. If anybody who answers “my trophy wife is my favorite possession” is my hero. I don’t give a shit. I’m voting for the guy. [Bubba the Love Sponge, 1/08/08]
