Of course he has good answers.

1) A year ago I thought Trump had a solid chance of winning, mostly because he had the most compelling message. In fact he may have been the only candidate who had any message at all. The closer we got to the election, though, the muddier my view became. By election night, I'd mostly bought into the conventional belief that he'd have a tough time winning. Lesson: the truth isn't always in the details. Take three steps back. The perspective is clearer from there. 2) I love the editorial freedom at Fox. Sounds like a talking point, but it's true. I've never once been told to do or not do a segment. That's pretty great. So if you don't like the show, it's my fault. My favorite parts are always the debates. 3) I read all day, from morning to show time, with a three hour break for lunch and a run, neither of which I ever miss, especially the lunch. I like to read and would do it even if I was unemployed (and have), but having debate segments makes me more disciplined about it. Getting caught not knowing something is awful. It's happened to me.

1) That was an intense night. I quit smoking a couple of years ago, but I'll concede I did have a cigarette on the sidewalk outside the studio at about 2:00 AM. 2) Acosta was rude. Trump rose to it. I thoroughly enjoyed the exchange. 3) Stop lying. 4) I hope so, if only so I can learn more about them. 5) Something bigger than I've used. Twelve gauge slugs don't work well, or at least they haven't for me. I realize .223 is popular, but I don't think I'd use anything lighter than 7.62. They're surprisingly rugged animals, and smarter than you'd expect.

I sometimes talk to guests before they come on the show. They usually want to know what I'm going to ask, and I always tell them. No reason to lie. My questions aren't especially tricky or complex. I try to ask the obvious things. The fact that some can't answer tells you how little they're thought about their beliefs. A surprising number of people just take an ideology off the shelf and buy it, without looking to see what's inside. I try to get them to examine the contents.

I'm so glad I'm the only one on here enjoying this. For those curious, it's an excellent AMA.



What is your favorite Grateful Dead tune and why is it Ripple?

Talking about yourself again I see.........

Of course Tuck is a Grateful Dead fan

Can't be Cucked

My respect for Tucker went to over 9000 upon reading that he is a Deadhead.

Is he gay?
