And I mean that. I don\u2019t know DeSantis that well, but let me put it this way \u2014 people move to Florida because he\u2019s the governor,\u201d he said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve lived in a lot of states. I grew up in California. I&#8217;ve lived in D.C., Rhode Island, Arkansas. I&#8217;ve lived in this country for over 50 years. I know it pretty well, and I&#8217;ve never lived in a state where people at dinner are like, &#8216;I&#8217;m really glad we have our governor.'&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The <i>Tucker Carlson Tonight<\/i> host expressed surprise at Floridians caring so much about their governor: &#8220;What? I&#8217;ve never lived in a place where people knew who the governor was!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Fox host expressed gratitude for Trump&#8217;s run in 2016 and said he&#8217;s endeared to the former president. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually love Donald Trump, as a guy,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the funniest people I\u2019ve ever talked to in my life.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged that &#8220;there are plenty of things to criticize about Trump&#8221; but shot down the &#8220;lies&#8221; about Trump&#8217;s character. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They always tell the opposite of the truth. Trump is totally charming and engaging and fun and interesting,\u201d Carlson said. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/biden-administration-has-14-000-migrant-children-without-parents-custody\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Carlson told the conference crowd that the Republican primary is going to be a &#8220;cliffhanger&#8221; and said, &#8220;At this point, it does seem like two forces are moving toward one another at high speed, and how could that go well?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He concluded his answer to the audience member&#8217;s question: &#8220;I am completely comfortable putting my total ignorance on full and florid display and telling you, \u2018I have no freaking idea.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he\u2019s \u201cnot endorsing anybody\u201d before the Republican primary in the 2024 presidential race. \u201cI\u2019m not endorsing anybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1779824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[7446,4506,10218,5458,3703,4980,8965,6203,5599,4909,3819,3634,3748],"class_list":["post-1779821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-not","tag-4506","tag-anybody","tag-bongino","tag-carlson","tag-desantis","tag-endorsing","tag-gop","tag-hes","tag-primary","tag-report","tag-trump","tag-tucker"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1779821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1779821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1779821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1779824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1779821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1779821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1779821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
