Crossfire

Remember when Tucker Carlson used to wear a bow tie and, and be on-

Yeah, when he was on CNN's Crossfire, yeah

... uh, Crossfire? And used to be, like, I never agreed with him, but it, it was, uh, a level...

He's just really ramped up the nutso, uh, to a point where I go, "Oh, you used to be cute, and now I hope..." I'm trying to stop to say I hope you die in a fire, because that's really bad, 'cause what if someone does?

Yeah, you, you're so aggressive with your language.

He seemed normal and un-white-supremacisty.

Tucker Swan Lake McNordstrom Carlson took that palatable conservatism to CNN and PBS, eventually becoming the perpetually bow tied cohost of CNN's Crossfire.

There he helped steer cable news away from meaningful discourse and more towards people shouting talking points at each other like a Housewives reunion.

It was going great until one day when a Comedy Central extremist infiltrated the set and wreaked havoc.

They went up after he had taken over parts of Ukraine and had had a repressive regime.

And even Tucker Carlson who I used to do Crossfire with many, many moons ago when he called himself a straight journalist, but who worked for conservative publications, just the other day went on RT in Moscow.

He wasn't in Moscow, but it was broadcast out of Moscow.

And he basically said that Putin is defending the last white Christian nation.

Everybody, Bill Press.

David Corn.

So you have mentioned two former co-hosts of Crossfire.

And here's another co-host of Crossfire.

I turn on the Communist News Network and, uh, you know, I can take about ten or fifteen minutes, and I gotta walk into the other room [laughs] for a little while 'cause there's so many liars telling so many lies.

I started watching, uh, Crossfire tonight, Bill Press.

You know, he's the...

He's from the... "I'm from the left." And, you know, they had, uh, Mary Matalin from the right, and she's about as right as, uh, [laughs] uh, as, um, a frozen Coke [laughs] in the middle of winter.

If you remember, Tucker Carlson first became famous on television.

He was – back in the days when he was wearing the bow tie, he was – one of the Republicans on Crossfire, on CNN.

Then he went to MSNBC and then Fox.

And CNN is a deep state operation.
