Ep. 21 Dave Portnoy founded Barstool Sports and just completed the most impressive business transaction of our lifetime. He also just got into an epic fight and shared the video with us first. Watch. As usual, if you’d like to opt-out, you can do that by clicking on your preferences and unchecking “Tucker’s Twitter.”
In praise of Orban, he seems to be the main guy out there openly championing what is commonly called "ethno-states" but what should be called "linguo-states". The ethnicities in question, as in Hungarian, Polish, etc. are almost always terms that also refer to languages. Note that this slight "tweak" in definition would allow America, which is certainly not an ethno-state, to be regarded as a "linguo-state". (My father would be rolling in his grave .... Never mind.) It is very much in the interests of Eastern European states that they adopt this concept. By doing so, they have wound up in a much better position than the Western European territorial "Celebrate Diversity!" states, which have now gotten themselves into BFT by allowing in large numbers of Muslims who basically cannot "assimilate" without becoming Atheists. I do not know whether Douglass Murray has said that. If he had not, he should have. Orban is an any event a much more significant figure than Portnoy ...
Courage. All involved here and it is so gratifying. It takes courage to buck the norms. For me, it seems much easier to have been shot at and to run into structure fires then to publicly 'come out' for whatever reason and face your loved ones. I have done it on social media and only gone through a fraction of what famous people suffer. Respect.
Fun interview! For reasons which will soon become obvious as you read, they don’t let me out much, so I had no idea who Dave Portnoy was. But now that I’ve done my research, I have opinions.
(By the way, the “fight" happens at around 31 minutes. It’s only verbal. On a sidewalk. In front of a pizza shop. Portnoy’s complaint was too much Parmesan, so Portnoy’s Pizza Guy comes out to tussle.)
My opinions are these:
Mr. Portnoy. Like with cheese you don’t like, if there is too much hate, I suggest not adding to it. You can try. Also. If a guy’s shirt is too small, find a size too small and stick with it. He’s not a witch. He can’t get fatter before our eyes.
Tucker. Portnoy’s Pizza Guy doesn’t hate because his wife doesn’t like him. (That’s a separate issue.) The TRUE back story was that the pizza guy’s horses and pigs in the back ally spooked, so after sensing a WITCH was around, he hunted for one on his front sidewalk.
Portnoy’s Pizza Guy. When you find a witch on your sidewalk, don’t only refer to the New York Times and call him a clown. You started out great, but then your fear and hate showed. If you really mean business (not pizza; that’s out now) invite him to play “Sink or Swim” in your pond.
I don’t think the pizza shop guy was all that bad, and Portnoy was the 1st to start cussing at him. I don’t think the guy even knew he had got a bad or slightly negative review. He was inside when Portnoy was talking about the pizzz and parm.
He seemed to know who Portnoy was, and came out front to hassle him because he doesn’t like him. Portnoy seemed to also know who he was and it was game on.
The whole segment seemed odd and irrelevant to me.
I especially agree with your assessment of "I don't think the pizza shop guy was all that bad..."
I enjoyed the interview for other reasons, but if I lived nearby the pizza joint, I'd go see for myself whether I liked the pizza there or not. I'd order sausage, mushrooms, pepperoni, extra cheese. Hold the HATE, please.
(Or, if I wanted to put a bet on Mike Tyson's tigers, $500 on the tigers in round one. Sorry, Mike. Low T is a bitch, and Tigers do what they do without an ounce of hate.)
I have had the amazing opportunity to be around a few tigers. One of them as a baby and then the same cute little guy a year later.
As an 80lb kitten, a cute but still formidable animal.
As a 600lb fully grown tiger is incredibly beautiful, almost mesmerizing; and also the most terrifying powerful killing machine animal I have ever been in the presence of. Just it’s roar paralyzes you.
LowT or even in his prime, Tyson wouldn’t stand a chance.
Funny fact, the tigers I have seen were trained for movies and photo shoots. Humans do not train them directly. Usually a small dog is introduced to the tiger as a kitten and the tiger bonds with the small dog (in my case it was a Jack Russell Terrier) commands are given to the dog who then tells his tiger friend what the two-legged snack food over there wants 🤪
Check out Julie Kelly’s Substack article with a link on Real Clear Politics called “Biden DOJ Designates Grandmas as America’s New Terrorists.” I’ve got a comment there where I posted the Federalist article about the woman who went to the Jan 6 Capitol rally and why she did. I hope a lot of people read Julie’s article and then also that. I’m a paid subscriber so I can comment there. I don’t know if unpaid subscribers can also comment.
“Why I Am Joining the Jan 6 DC March For Trump.”
“0n Nov 4, 2020, I suddenly saw with my own eyes the depth and breadth of the political corruption myself and others had tried and failed to prevent for so many years.”
What Trump changed the hatred in this country ? Wasn’t it the lies, propaganda and deception about Trump they changed the hatred in this country? If they really knew what the Bushes, Obama’s, Biden’s, etc did to them and this country they’d hate them
I find Portnoy to be no better than the pizza guy. A foul mouthed a**hole looking for a fight. He is no better than the the tactics from the left. Not impressed
Portnoy's such an old school Boston guy, and that beef in front of the pizzeria in Somerville is like a trip home for me (another Boston guy). Massholes don't save the fu's for end of the argument - they open with it.

Didn’t Tucker recently interview Orban, the Hungary Prime Minister?
Yes. And it was pretty good. Or even pretty damn good.

Yes, Tucker did interview him. The interview can be found on Rumble - (Tucker on X).
Ep. 20 Hungary shares a border with Ukraine. We traveled to Budapest to speak with the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán.
Yes. Worth watching.
Did Sasha forget to post that one?
Great interview
Thanks for posting that. I loved the last five minutes or so. They were classic Tucker unchained.
The state of play
“Manufactured outrage fuelled by the media.”. Not good.

Very cool experience and information, Eric. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Sorry, am easily distracted and prone to tangents 😂

Highly recommend - both Julie's Substack and the Federalist linked article.
