Tucker Carlson releases teaser trailer for Conor McGregor interview

The nature of Tucker Carlson's interview with Conor McGregor could very possibly revolve around the Irishman's political aspirations. Carlson shared a snippet from the interview ahead of it's release. In the clip, he asks 'The Notorious' about running for president of Ireland.

To our surprise, it's not as simple as filing candidacy in the city hall. McGregor revealed that there's a lot more to it than merely signing a piece of paper.

When asked by Carlson why can't he run for president, McGregor answered:

"There's stipulations. You have to get four county councils which are controlled by the government parties. Or you have to get 20 nominations of the Oireachtas, which are all mostly party affiliates. You can't just run for president."

Carlson swiftly asked the question:

"So how is that a democracy?"

The Irish MMA megastar answered:

"We're not a democratic country."

Conor McGregor then said that there will be a reckoning as the politicians will have to answer for their misgivings towards the Irish people. He cited poor budget handling of the Irish people's taxes and what he deemed "illegal" mass migration in his country. He said that he is being defamed because of his strong opinions but regardless, he'll push through with his aspirations to make Ireland great in his eyes once again.

Here's the teaser trailer:
