Posobiec asked Moore how Carlson is still able to pull major, highly sought-after personalities to his show, Tucker on Twitter, despite not having the mainstream media clout he once did when he was employed by Fox News.
"So this is a great question and couldn't be more relevant than to what just dropped," Moore said. "I haven't got a chance to watch it yet," adding that he was prepared to watch it after the interview with Posobiec.
Moore said this "moment feels historic, for many reasons," adding that "April 24th, 2023 was the moment that independent media surpassed mainstream media, and I think Tucker Carlson is the figurehead for that."
The interview, he said, shows "that he's able to get the most highly sought-after interview and drop it before anyone else at any of the mainstream networks, anyone at Fox," and added that "this will be the first presidential primary that mainstream media plays a really insignificant role, especially on the Republican side, maybe specifically on the Republican side. And, you know, as we get into the general election, that will probably change but mainstream media isn't really going to have a big say on who the Republican primary candidate is."
"Fox, I think, would prefer it to be one candidate over the other, but their power seems to be completely gone. And really, Tucker is at the center of that."
Posobiec noted that when the Hunter Biden story dropped in October of 2020, the only person that seemed to pick up the story at the time in mainstream media was Tucker Carlson, having former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski on for an interview.
"So he gets Tony Bobulisnky. He gets Devon Archer. He's getting every single one of these individuals that's directly tied to this. And I think what we're actually seeing through the lens of this is picking apart — and it's something that Tucker talks about a lot in his books, which I have read — just the way Washington DC actually works and the sense of how the sausage is made behind the scenes and where that comes out in the front end," said Posobiec.
Moore said that Carlon’s show is "really that bridge between stuff that people like you [Posobiec] and Steve [Bannon] are covering and other people online that nobody in cable news would touch."
"Tucker was always a sort of bridge between the internet and the mainstream."
Later in the conversation, Posobiec said, "it’s almost like the division anymore isn’t necessarily left or right. It’s actually people who believe corporate media and people who don’t."
"The whole paradigm has shifted and Tucker Carlson came to his biggest prominence yet under this paradigm shift where the left and right don’t mean the same thing,’ he added, saying that the biggest part of Carlson’s appeal was "he was anti corporatist in the most corporate of settings, which always was shocking to everyone."
