TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): We do care about the substance of it. And the substance of it is that Trump, for all of his sins - and I'll concede some of them - has never taken close to a million dollars a year from Ukrainian energy company to do nothing because his dad is the vice president. So, Hunter Biden did. Now, I know Hunter Biden, I actually like Hunter Biden, but that's totally corrupt and you know it. Why is it worse to ask about it than do it?
RICHARD GOODSTEIN: Because people are dying on the front lines. You think it's a joke --
CARLSON: Why do I care? Why do I care what's going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia?
GOODSTEIN: Because - I'll tell you why -
CARLSON: And I'm serious. Like, why do I care? And why shouldn't I root for Russia? Which I am.
