Tucker Carlson Goes Off On What Was Supposed To Be A Friendly Interview

This must begin with a personal anecdote:

My cable box is now collecting dust on the floor.

If you've heard some of my podcasts, you know that I suffered a life-changing "incident" nearly seven years ago. One thing I did was to catch up on all of the television that I hadn't watched.

I hadn't missed much.

There was, however, a hidden gem that I was heretofore not cognizant of; that gem was Tucker Carlson.

The one thing I miss at 8:00 PM is Tucker's wit, and of course, the face.

The face that says, "You got knocked the TUCK out!"

Well, it's actually been easy, as I had come from years of not having a television prior (gave it to an old girlfriend)...but the divorce between Tucker and myself was only amicable on its face.

Imagine that the first clip I get to encounter Tucker wasn't aired.

What could have happened?

Typical NPC programming.

Dutch historian Rutger Bregman was invited on Tucker's show after he was heard making what was a great comment at Davos, cajoling billionaires to stop hiding their ill-gotten gains, and to pay more taxes.

Sounds great, yes? That's what Tucker thought, as well.

So, the interview begins, and all seems well...when all of a sudden, the guest's features fade into a massless grey, and he starts accusing Tucker of being a Cato Institute toady, and impugns FOX as all being a "bunch of millionaires doing the bidding of billionaires".

Tucker was a lot cooler than I would've been. I would've cited the $38 million dollars that he paid for 2005; and understand this - there were a number of corporations that DIDN'T EVEN PAY $38 DOLLARS!!!

If I were the HighEnergy vlogger, I'd do the Tucker vs. Bregman battle, but I'd disqualify Bregman for concealing an NPC character under his person.
