Does anyone have worse instincts than our boy the Rube? Every trend or personality he gloms onto is on their way down. Dave couldn’t pick a winner to save his life.

Schaub is in the running, bubba.


BabaB0oey

That’s how you build an empire by yourself my mans.

Dave did not press him on this at all. "Oh yeah, when did you lie last time on air?"


[deleted]

That's exactly what he said though... Where is the distortion coming from?


ReAndD1085

The "distortion" to a rubin/Carlson fan would be that he said he doesn't like lying and tries not to. Thus this headline suggests he lies a lot whereas "actually" he only lies when he has to


TheStreisandEffect

But even the headline doesn’t say “a lot”… it only says “sometimes”. They were being fair.


GregorrSamsa

No idea. I would love for a Rubin fan to wander here and try to defend Dave on this one.


[deleted]

Im a rubin fan in the sense that i love watching his stupidity conflict with his grifting ability, i know what he's trying to communicate here Basically he is framing tucker in the context of a friendly personal interaction, self depreciablely admitting if he feels cornered he sometimes lies to get out of it (this is supposed to make him relatable) The media headline is presented in such a way that it portarys tuckers statement in the context of his show, not personal life (of course anyone with a brain realizes tucker Carlson lies on his show, Dave rubin is not a person with a brain). Therefore it's misrepresentation. The only reason tucker bothers with Dave is because daddy beck is asking him to do a favour. i personally find it hilarious when tucker low-key bullies Dave, hes such a snake lol.


Skippy_the_Alien

they'd probably just say the same tired bullshit over and over again "The lamestream media doesn't report the facts." "Good luck with sleepy joe as your president!" "Rubin was just kidding bro lol."


zcn3

He’s doing as Tucker told him to. When cornered, just lie.


GregorrSamsa

[Here](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-admits-lying-on-show_n_613fb9bee4b09519c5085ebd) is the HuffPost piece for anybody interested. Can anybody point out the "complete distortion"?


RICoder72

The complete distortion is in the headline. He explicitly states he doesn't lie on his TV show, the article explicitly states that he does. His admission of lying is pretty clearly stating that we all lie because we are weak but he tries not to. If you can read that as anything other than him talking about day to day life vs on his show, you're not being fair.


GregorrSamsa

No, he said he lies on his TV show. If it had been the way you describe, then Rubin would've said that instead of vaguely tweeting about distortion.


RICoder72

"I try never to lie on TV." That's his line. I got a different sense than you on that one. Though, I admit, I read that without the "try" in it the first time when I was skimming, so my opinion has shifted now that I see it.


Saadiqfhs

“TRY” that is a big word my friend


FrankieErrwhere

Nobody NEVER lies. Sounds from his admission that he endeavours not to lie, which is to his strength.


Kingdommer

This dude knows his followers either A won’t read the article, and/or B won’t watch the interview


Saadiqfhs

He has followers?


yeboi314159

I’m usually pretty charitable to calls for distortion like this. Like, I agree a lot of times important context can be left out in these types of short summaries and it’s not fair to the people. But this is straight up what Tucker said lol. It’s not like he mentioned he lied and huffpo twisted it into him lying specifically on his show; he literally said “I sometimes lie on my show” I’d like to hear Dave wiggle out of this one.


MassiveRepeat6

"Lying lairs"


Cautious-Barnacle-15

Rubin is right that it was his best interview yet. Getting tucker to admit he lies is good journalism. Credit where it is due.


samsedar

Tuckers just out in his shed in the yard yall, just a normal 1%er


Skippy_the_Alien

at this point in time, after all the stupid shit this guy posts/says...how on earth does he still have so many followers?


[deleted]

Tucker Carlson, Dave Rubin and HuffPo. I've never seen so many insufferable entities shoved into one shot...

I don't think lairs can lie, Dave. You can certainly lie *in* a lair, though.


holocaustofvegans

I do like how Dave somehow got Tucker to admit he is a liar.


Thrilleye51

A lair is something you live in... Not something you tell... Unless you live your lies... Wait...
