Takedown Number One: Classic Carlson
With reference to the chasm between an exchange between a young, highly unsophisticated, in fact imbecilic, young leftist Aussie media boofhead . . . and the iconic intellect of Tucker Carlson, one of the 4,096 commenters on the above YouTube video said it perfectly: "She brought a butter knife to a gun fight."
Another quipped:
"She needs her USAID funding cut off."
Another said:
"The amount of airheads getting hired is not only alarming. It shows why anything good is falling apart."
Determined to pick a fight and score big brownie points with her leftist colleagues in the audience, the second Carlson had been introduced to the audience, this silly young
(or was she young? they don't show the face; you only hear her annoying high-pitched voice)
ultra-boofhead launched into him with a string of unrelenting, ludicrous and low-IQ (and very aggressive) assertions about his personal positions on various contentious issues.
In a flow-of-her-own-consciousness stream of ludicrously conflated, pretzel-like assertions, she even attempted to draw some connection between his beliefs (on which he had already corrected her) and his somehow being contributory to a recent mass shooting (despite his having told her he's a Christian and "I hate violence").
She was so overtly out of line on all counts that Carlson wasted no time in correcting her, in a stunning display of his trademark rapid-fire intellect - laced uncharacteristically, by now, with palpable, increasing agitation.
"How do they get people this stupid in the media? I guess it doesn't pay well."
"Look, I'm sorry, I've lived among people like you for too long, and I don't mean to call you stupid. Maybe you're just pretending to be."
Pressing on undeterred, as though determined to demonstrate Carlson's point about her intelligence or lack thereof, she says accusatorily:
"So you don't think you harbour any responsibility for these hate crimes
(she says, with reference to yet more mass shootings)?"
At that point, Carlson had had more than enough of her leftist lunacy disguised as journalism:
"I'm sorry, I've tried to be charitable. I thought maybe you were just pretending to be dumb, but now I don't think it's an act,"
he told her.
"I thought the Australian media HAD to be better than ours. It can't just be a bunch of castrated robots reading questions from the boss. But it turns out it's just the same! Maybe even just a tiny bit dumber."
Honestly, it really is worth the watch. Even the average normie would enjoy it.
Trumpisms for The Week
Of course, I can't finish my article without a couple of the week's Trumpisms:
The U.S. President was commenting, at a media gathering, on the findings of the numerous highly questionable funding items of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the latest transfer of $8 million (for the year) to American leftist online political news vehicle
Politico being first among those highlighted.
With reference to the order that had been given by DOGE (the new Department of Government Efficiency) that the agency's funding of Politico be ceased immediately (as in, that day), he looked across the room at the Politico representative and said cordially,
"I hope you're enjoying your breakfast."
Next . . . when asked by a reporter how he felt about
Time Magazine having just published an antagonistic image of Elon Musk sitting in the President's place behind his Oval Office desk, the President, looking surprised, asked:
"Oh . . . is Time Magazine still in business?"
Indeed, if you're going to enter a gunfight, at least come armed with something better than an ice cream spoon.
