I'm sure the reason Carlson was angry was because Dutch shill boy went off script (after they had thoroughly prepped how the segment was going to go).

In other words Dutch shill boy tried to pull a fast one. You don't abuse someone else's media platform and still expect to get that valuable exposure in that manner. So Dutch shill boy, back you go in your box of Euro obscurity.

Complete takedown.

I wish that Dutch guy could run for US president.

I dont.

I don't agree with what the Dutch guy supports, but that was an awesome takedown on Carlson, and Carlson's response is typical of someone who can't defend himself so he resorts cursing at you.

I also don't need him to run for president.

But the US needs to get big money out of politics - and equally important, out of media, and out of society. We can't have a functioning democracy at the same time we have the Koch network and the Waltons and Mercers and Wilkses and Anschutz and Singer buying and running media outlets, and thinktanks like Cato and AEI, and entire university departments like GMU Econ. It cannot be the case that the basis of our public debate is founded on propaganda funded by billionaires.

And one important way to make headway on reducing money in politics is a wealth tax. We need many other reforms, but that is a good start, and that's what the Dutch economist is advocating.

Ice core data!

Look how low we’ve gone.

Notably, in the last two steps Carlson was funded by rightwing billionaires.
Carlson took the Koches’ dirty money at the Daily Caller, and Murdoch’s dirty money at Fox.

The problem is the rightwing billionaires. If Carlson left Fox tomorrow, Murdoch would just fill his spot with another liar spouting scary BS about immigrants to distract the GOP base from the rightwing billionaires screwing them.

LOL.
Too true!

It's like that joke about the three guys sitting in a waiting room, a billionaire, a poor white guy, and a poor brown-skinned guy... Receptionist brings out a dozen donuts, and the billionaire quickly sneaks over and takes 11 of them for himself, then comes back and whispers in the poor white guy's ear while pointing a thumb at the one remaining donut "hey, you better keep an eye on that brown guy over there, he's trying to steal your donut."

It's a very sad and very true commentary on what's going on in this country lately.

Dutch is a globalist shill invited to Davos, whose most recent book calls for global open borders (read: infinity peasant labour class the plutocrats he claims to despise can exploit). Who do you think funds the Dutchman? Same rich he claims to hammer against.

Tucker is a country club conservative fratboy who sends his kids to fancy boarding schools so they only play with top 0.10%ers. His populism schtick was a life preserver for his career.

Globalist shill? Ugh. I hate the buzzwords the low brow maga crew parrot.
