Summary
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Tucker Carlson about why he left Washington, D.C., for Maine, what he was most shocked to learn through working at CNN, and why Joe Biden's failed Afghanistan withdrawal was far worse than the mainstream media has let on. Tucker first discusses how his family was harassed at home and how that influenced him to leave Washington, D.C. He also explains why he has never owned a TV or spent time on social media. Next, Tucker describes how the liberal media is not really liberal at all. Finally, Tucker gives his thoughts on the Afghanistan collapse and why the loss of the Afghanistan war may be looked at as a major inflection point in America's role on the global stage.
