In an interview with Carlson that aired on Tuesday, May 14, Rodgers discussed various political topics, ranging from Covid-19 vaccines to conspiracy theories.

Early in the interview, Rodgers referenced Carlson's infamous interview with Putin, saying: "You did one of the most controversial interviews...when you went to Russia and did Putin. How did it feel coming back? Because anybody who watched the interview was like, number one, it was f**king awesome. Number two, Putin came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual."

Rodgers continued, "If you've read 1984, the base game plan of government control, you have to have an enemy, and you have to slander that enemy regardless if you know anything about them."

"I think a lot of people are like, 'Oh, Putin apologists are like, whitewashing all the stuff that he's done to different people.' I was just like, no, I'd love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country," Rodgers explained.

Rodgers, known for his patriotism and support for the US military, also expressed his frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the US Congress in December 2022. Zelensky wore green military fatigues during the appearance, which Rodgers found disrespectful.

"'[You're] being canceled by the people who have just bowed down and given interviews from their knees to the Zelenskys of the world. It's wild," Rodgers remarked, adding, "As this guy comes over in f**king an outfit you'd wear to the store on a Sunday morning to ask Congress for another $100 billion, is wild."

Rodgers and Carlson also questioned the direction of US politics, suggesting that the American population is being manipulated by the political elite with far-left ideologies.
