NFL star Aaron Rodgers recently sat down with Tucker Carlson for a two-hour interview released on Tuesday. The New York Giants quarterback discussed various topics, including vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, government corruption, and President Joe Biden.
The conversation became particularly critical when Rodgers commented on Biden’s capabilities as president. Rodgers remarked, “This guy who can’t even walk over here – and sh*ts his pants every now and then?”
During the interview, Rodgers praised Carlson’s controversial interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, describing it as insightful and thought-provoking. Rodgers said, “You did one of the most controversial, somehow, not to me, most controversial interviews in the last, I don’t know how long, when you went to Russia and did Putin. How did it feel coming back? Because anybody who watched the interview was like, number one, it was f*cking awesome. Number two, Putin came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual.” He expressed a desire to see Biden discuss the history of the United States as thoroughly as Putin discussed Russian history.
Tucker Carlson added to the criticism, doubting Biden’s ability to perform simple tasks and noting that Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have avoided interviews. Carlson stated, “I’d love to see Biden do an interview where he shows how to operate a microwave, and I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Rodgers criticized the media’s approach to interviewing political figures, contrasting the perceived deference shown to leaders like Zelensky with the lack of substantial interviews with Biden. He expressed frustration with the current political climate, suggesting that the actions of political leaders often go unchallenged by the public. Rodgers commented, “Like being canceled by the people who have just bowed down and given interviews from their knees to the Zelensky’s of the world… As this guy comes over in fcking in an outfit you’d wear to the store on a Sunday morning to ask the Congress for another $100 billion is fcking wild.”
The interview covered a wide range of topics, with Rodgers emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing political leaders and holding them accountable for their actions. Watch the whole podcast below:
