Episode notes
Western Clips Used As Regime Propaganda
- Iranian state TV broadcasted Tucker Carlson clips in Persian as part of its 24-hour coverage during nationwide unrest.
- Patrick Bet-David and Adam Sosnick highlight this as surprising and politically useful to the regime.
Clip Content Changes The Meaning
- The specific clip aired featured Larry Sanger (Wikipedia cofounder), not the Iranian president, which complicates claims Tucker was defending the regime.
- Hosts debate whether that selection meaningfully supports Iran or is being taken out of context.
Desperation Drives Propaganda Choices
- Adam Sosnick argues the regime is desperate and will use any tool to bolster support, including foreign commentators.
- He frames playing Tucker as a tactic to portray the regime as acceptable through outside validation.
