This book by Honore de Balzac came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Tucker Carlson. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

“I like Balzak, okay? Who's obviously wrote in French. You read, "Pere Goriot," it's amazing novel, hilarious.”— Tucker Carlson
The guest here is Tucker Carlson: An influential and controversial political commentator who Time Magazine once called the most powerful conservative in America during his Fox News tenure. He now hosts interviews and shows on X, the Tucker Carlson Podcast, and tuckercarlson.com, and recently interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin. Tucker Carlson unpacks his Putin interview, the Ukraine war, Navalny, US surveillance, media corruption, and a realist case against American foreign policy.
