Here’s the transcript of the original interview - pretty accurate:

Yes. I read the whole thing. Tucker Carlson comes across as incredibly arrogant, informed, and foolish.

Here is his full comment about President Trump's promises. It leaves out a huge amount, and minimizes his enormous achievements:

No. His chief promises were that he would build the wall, de-fund planned parenthood, and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn't done any of those things. There are a lot of reasons for that, but since I finished writing the book, I've come to believe that Trump's role is not as a conventional president who promises to get certain things achieved to the Congress and then does. I don't think he's capable. I don't think he's capable of sustained focus. I don't think he understands the system. I don't think the Congress is on his side. I don't think his own agencies support him. He's not going to do that.

After reading the interview, I have both gained and lost respect for Carlson. He sees and knows a great deal. Our analysis of what the information means has some significant differences.

"I don't think he's capable. I don't think he's capable of sustained focus."

That can be read in different ways. Take the first sentence alone it sounds like Carlson is calling Trump incompetent, but read together with the second sentence, the point is that Trump may be competent on a day-to-day basis, but he doesn't have the "sustained focus" to achieve his major goals.
