Speaking during the October 10 broadcast of his “The Tucker Carlson Show,” former Fox News Channel host and current independent podcaster Tucker Carlson called out regime politicians as getting “weirder,” even by the sordid standards for which the Swamp Establishment has long been known.
That came when Tucker spoke to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) about the state of things in the nation’s capital, and the two went back and forth over what things are like there, noting as they did so that the notoriously debaucherous city is getting worse and worse in terms of its morals.
Tucker brought the matter up, claiming that he has spent a long period of his life in DC and so knows it and those within it to have issues, but it seems to have gotten even “weirder” lately, saying, “I have noticed, having spent my life in D.C., that people’s personal lives are getting weirder in the Congress. Have you noticed that?”
Continuing, he noted that the sordidness, generally, is getting weirder, asking Rep. Burchett as he did so if he has seen the same thing. He said, “Without implicating anyone by name. I don’t think I’m imagining this. It’s not just sleeping with your scheduler, it’s weirder than that. Have you noticed that?”
Rep. Burchett, for his part, was somewhat non-committal in his answer but did indicate that things are getting weird, or already were, as he just stays in his office as much as he can instead of dealing with it all. “I try to stay in my office as much as possible,” Burchett told Tucker.
Tucker returned to the matter, giving an example of the sort of sordid and debaucherous behavior that he has heard is happening in the capital city now, giving an example of how it has gotten yet worse, saying, “Well, I just want to say for the record, I never heard of anybody participating in an orgy in Washington, D.C. in my entire life.”
Adding to that, he added that while he had never heard of such behavior previously, he now hears about that sort of thing being quite frequent, telling Rep. Burchett, “And I’ve heard a lot about it recently. So that is — I wasn’t there, I’m not going there, but I think that’s real.” The congressman said that he hopes that is not the case, but he has never “been invited” if it is.

Burchett, for his part, told Tucker that major corporations will bribe congressmen by employing their spouses or romantic partners, noting that the cost of the salary is nothing to the major companies at issue, but ends up being a nice bribe in the pockets of our legislators and their families.
He said, commenting on that, “I mean, $100,000 [salary] to a multi-billion dollar corporation is nothing. It’s an extra supply of paper clips or something. I think that’s how they do it now. You have them in political offices, you have them in business offices, you have them all over—”
