[Oh yeah. Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan, they’re both on the same wavelength. A couple of independent thinkers.]
I can’t speak to Rogan’s cognitive abilities, but Carlson is clearly much smarter than Hannity or O’Reilly, both of whom have to filibuster to drown out some of the smarter liberal guests. Whereas Carlson can absorb their entire spiel, and take it apart point by point right there and then. He’s just a smart guy who’s quick on his feet in a way few right-wingers on TV are. He’s Bill Buckley, with an edge.
