Tucker Carlson’s podcast, “The Tucker Carlson Show,” has reached the top of the Spotify charts, surpassing “The Joe Rogan Experience” to become the number one podcast in the U.S.
Following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, Carlson featured notable guests, including Jack Posobiec and Dr. Ben Carson, discussing various topics such as an assassination attempt on Donald Trump and Biden’s absence from public view.
“Congrats to Tucker and the entire incredible TCN team. I wonder if he had any good guests on this week!” Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec jokingly wrote.
Carlson received acclaim at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where he reflected on the impact of the assassination attempt on Trump, describing it as a transformative moment that elevated Trump to a national leader status.
He praised Trump’s courage and emphasized the significance of leadership in inspiring the public, while also criticizing Biden’s election integrity.
“So I watched a video of what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania about 1550 times. I think I was one of about 8 billion people around the world who watched it. And the more I watched it the more it became clear that everything was different. After that moment everything, this convention is different,” Carlson said. “The nation is different, the world is different, Donald Trump is different.”
“When he stood up after being shot in the face, bloodied, and put his hand up. I thought at that moment that was a transformation this was no longer a man. Well, I think that I think it was divine intervention but the effect that it had on Donald Trump, he was no longer just a political party’s nominee, or a former president, or a future president. This was the leader of a nation. And I think there’s a difference.”
“His courage gave them heart. A leader’s courage gives courage to his people period. And the second thing I noticed which I don’t think anyone has remarked upon in public but I’m just going to since I’m on the script like, why not? Is that he turned down the most obvious opportunity in politics to inflame the nation after being shot,” Carlson said.
