During a teaser for an upcoming episode of The Tucker Carlson Show released Friday, Hunter Biden admitted he likes the “woken up” version of former Rep. 
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. 
Thomas Massie (R-KY). 
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s conversation with Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden , is set to be released in full on Monday. 
In the meantime, however, a supercut gave viewers an interesting preview.

“I love Candace [ Owens ],” Biden first remarked in the clip. 
In May, the controversial podcaster had the former first son on her show, during which she apologized for contributing to the media storm surrounding his struggle with addiction , emphasizing, “I just feel really sh*tty.” 
“I like Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Biden continued. 
“I like that there are people that have kind of woken up.” 
Both Greene and Massie, despite initially supporting President Donald Trump , have since turned on him. 
Greene called the president a “traitor” in June, while Massie has been outspoken in his criticism on a variety of issues, including the administration’s war in Iran and its handling of the FBI files on Jeffrey Epstein . 
Just last weekend, Greene posted a photo of her and her new husband Brian Glenn , Carlson, Massie, and Joe Kent , the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who quit earlier this year in protest of the Iran war, writing, “The movement has begun,” fueling speculation about the group creating a third political party. 
And on Wednesday, Carlson released a 10-point manifesto, adding to rumors he plans to run for president in 2028. 
Massie has defended the younger Biden before, slamming the 2024 verdict that found him guilty on three gun-related charges. 
Yet Greene, in 2023, showed the GOP-led House Oversight Committee a series of increasingly graphic, minimally censored pics of the former first son, stressing, “This was prostitution.”
