"Wherever I go, literally, wherever I go in this country, I do a lot of live events, I do a lot of public events, people come up to me, When are you going on Tucker Carlson? When are you going to do an event with Tucker Carlson? Why don't you do a collab with Tucker Carlson? We love Tucker Carlson."
"Do I like Tucker Carlson? Not personally. Does he like me? I've heard he doesn't like me, but he's saying what needs to be said. He's saying things that other people aren't saying, and he's taking on people on his own side."
