WATCH: Tucker Carlson Delivers an Absolute Masterclass in How to Deal With a Dishonest Reporter

  Bonchie – RedState  

The entire thing was a masterclass in how to handle a dishonest reporter. Don't accept their faulty premises, and make them explain their own logical inconsistencies. If you do that, that's usually enough to leave their heads spinning. If they then get angry and start to lash out, as this reporter did, then all the better to further embarrass them. 

"Tucker Carlson is holding a speaking tour in Australia, and the events there are already producing viral moments.

"In one especially tense exchange, Carlson was challenged about so-called "replacement theory," with the reporter suggesting the political commentator felt "white people" were being replaced by illegal immigrants. 

"It only took a few seconds before Carlson turned the tables.

"REPORTER: So you talked a little bit about immigration, and in the past, you've talked about how white Australians, Americans, and Europeans, are being replaced by non-white immigrants in what is often referred to as the great replacement theory.

" CARLSON: Have I said whites have been replaced? 

"REPORTER: Well... 

"CARLSON: I don't think I've said that. 

"REPORTER: Well, it's been mentioned on your show 4,000 times, and... 

"CARLSON: Really, when did I say that? I've said whites are being replaced? 

"REPORTER: You have said that before. Yeah. 

"CARLSON: Really? I would challenge you to cite that because I'm pretty sure I haven't said that. I said native-born Americans are being replaced, including blacks. 

"REPORTER: Native-born Americans? 

"CARLSON: Native-born Americans, Americans like black Americans, African Americans have been in the United States, in many cases, their families for over 400 years, and their concerns are every bit as real and valid and alive to me as the concerns of white people whose families have been there 400 years. I've never said whites are being replaced, not one time, and you can't cite it so.. 

"REPORTER: I believe that's untrue... 

"CARLSON: We've just met, but when our relationship starts with a lie, it makes it tough to be friends. 

"REPORTER: Well, you've been lying about (inaudible)... 

"CARLSON: You actually can't cite it because I didn't say it. Advertisement What you just witnessed is my favorite tactic for dealing with dishonest journalists. To put it simply, never accept their premises. Remember, we are often talking about pampered trust-fund kids when it comes to modern reporters. They don't like to work, and they see their job as making headlines, not news. In other words, they are lazy, and they will very often make an allegation based on something they've read on social media without ever verifying it themselves." . . .

Lance-Corporal Hitler - WW1 Trench Runner

 What did Hitler do in WW1?

Adolf Hitler and World War I: 1913–1919 | Holocaust Encyclopedia (ushmm.org)

"Hitler moved to Munich, Germany, in May 1913. He did so to avoid arrest for evading his military service obligation to Habsburg Austria. He financed this move with the last installment of an inheritance from his father. In Munich, he supported himself with his watercolors and sketches until World War I gave his life direction and a cause to which he could commit himself totally. By all surviving accounts, Hitler was a brave soldier: he was promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal, was wounded twice (in 1916 and 1918), and was awarded several medals.

"Though reportedly not given to lengthy political discourses at this time, Hitler appeared to have been carried along by the increasingly vicious political antisemitism of the radical right. This political antisemitism seeped into the military hierarchy during the last two years of the war.

"In October 1918, Hitler was partially blinded in a mustard gas attack near Ypres in Belgium. He was sent to a military hospital. News of the November 11, 1918, armistice reached him as he was convalescing. The end of the war brought the threat of demobilization from the only community in which he had ever felt at home, and possible return to a civilian life where he had no direction or career prospects.

"World War I propaganda influenced the young Hitler, who was a frontline soldier from 1914 to 1918. Like many, Hitler believed Germany lost the war because of enemy propaganda, not defeat on the battlefield." . . . 

Too Dumb for Harvard? Lemon’s Too Dumb for Twitter

Ann Coulter (townhall.com)  

"So there’s loads of “evidence” that affirmative action kills, despite the best efforts of our universities, medical system and media to hide it. Of course, if you mention the evidence, you’ll be called a “white supremacist.”  See? No evidence."                         

"Interviewing Elon Musk this week, former CNN host Don Lemon demonstrated the real-life consequences of affirmative action. 

"Interestingly enough, Lemon himself is an affirmative action beneficiary who miraculously hung on at CNN despite committing one moronic gaffe after another (maybe he’s just got television magic!). The only CNN on-air personality to handle himself worse was Jeffrey Toobin.

"Lemon was baffled by Musk’s claim that “if we lower standards for what it takes to become a board-certified surgeon … then more people will die than if we don’t lower the standards, therefore we should not lower the standards.”

"This was apparently Lemon’s first encounter with the logical sequence known as a “syllogism.”

"Lemon’s response: “Do you understand how by saying just that standards are being lowered that you’re implying that they’re being lowered because people are less skilled and less intelligent, and you’re talking about people of color?”

"What on Earth do liberals think “affirmative action” is? (And when I say “liberals think,” of course, I’m speaking figuratively.)

"Does Lemon understand that when universities fight like wildcats to hide their black students’ SAT scores, they are also kind of implying blacks are less skilled and less intelligent?

"Last year, during the part of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit known as “discovery,” Harvard University finally coughed up the data. If — you’ll pardon the expression — “newsman” Lemon had followed the news, he would know precisely how much standards had been lowered for black students.

"Applicants in the top “academic decile” (GPA plus standardized test scores) were accepted in the following percentages: Asians: 13%; Whites: 15%; Blacks: 56%. Perhaps more jaw-dropping, in the fifth academic decile — not quite Harvard material — the percentages were: Asians: 2% (musicians); Whites: 3% (football players and Jared Kushner); Blacks: 22%.

"People who’ve been paying attention were shocked. Good lord, who are the 44% of blacks in the top academic decile who DON’T get into Harvard? What kind of horrendous character defect do they have? Do they all submit “C-I-L-L My Landlord” as their personal essay? How can it not be 100%?

"Nonetheless, Lemon asked Musk, “Why do you think they’re lowering the standards for minority doctors?” To his credit, at no point did Lemon cry out, “I thought we agreed there’d be no math during this interview!”

"The Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald has been documenting the total abandonment of standards at medical schools for years. Before choosing your heart surgeon, you might want to review the statistics she’s laid out most recently in her book, “When Race Trumps Merit.” . . . 

HAMAS murders nephew of Israeli doctor who saved life of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar 20 years ago

  (barenakedislam.com)

"After Israeli Dr. Yuval Bitton saved Yahya Sinwar’s life in 2004, Sinwar promised to repay the debt upon his release from an Israeli prison, only to plot the murder of Bitton’s nephew, Tamir Adar, and countless other Israelis 19 years later."

JPost  "Dr. Yuval Bitton treated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a prison clinic in 2004, saving his life with a brain tumor diagnosis and facilitating an immediate transfer to the hospital. Nineteen years later, Bitton’s nephew was killed by terrorists on October 7 in an attack orchestrated by the now-Hamas leader, he told CNN.

"Bitton was employed as a dentist at Nafha Prison when he met Sinwar, who was serving four life sentences for the abduction and murder of two IDF soldiers. The terror leader never completed his sentences, having been freed as part of a 2011 prisoner-hostage exchange that saw some 1,000 terrorists released in exchange for Gilad Shalit." . . .

Garter Snake Mitt speaks

 Don Surber (substack.com)

"Romney said at the time, “Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works. It means a great deal to me to have the endorsement of Mr. Trump.' ”

"Mitt Romney trashed Donald Trump again, which gave the media another opportunity to pretend Republicans are abandoning President Trump. Romney never supported President Trump.

"WMMS reported, “Republican Sen. Mitt Romney said he won’t support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election due to ‘a matter of personal character.’

“ 'Romney, 77, was among several politicians within the party to condemn Trump during his presidency and said the presumptive GOP candidate's recent meeting with Republicans on Capitol Hill last week did nothing to change his perspective.”

"I chose to quote WMMS over other outlets because it is the Home of the Buzzard. The Buzzard refers to the bankers who were circling the city of Cleveland during its Great Default to see what parts of the city they could consume. Legend has it that a buzzard inspired a song by Kansas when the bird answered his kid’s question about what was for dinner: “Carrion, my wayward son.”

"No one should take Romney seriously.

"It has been a dozen years since he blew a presidential election that should have been a gimme. I did not realize it at the time but when it comes to character, few are as ignorant as he is." . . .

Jon Huntsman Calls Mitt Romney 'A Well-Lubricated Weather Vane' | Observer

Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed MSNBC host Joy Reid calling her the “looniest of lefties”.

"Ms Panahi reacted to footage of Ms Ried “discovering that summer is hot”.

"The MSNBC host discussed on air the “climate crisis” and heatwaves affecting millions of Americans. "* '“It’s literally summer tomorrow in America, 90 degrees Fahrenheit that’s 32 degrees Celsius for everyone else in the world,” Ms Panahi said. "“That’s delightful weather I don’t know how that’s deadly or an inconvenience, get a grip joy,” she said."

NYT Siccing an Astonishing 29 Fact Checkers on Trump-Biden Debate—but Make It Clear Who They're After – RedState

"The New York Times has assigned over 60 “journalists” to cover the Joe Biden-Donald Trump debate Thursday night, including an absurd 29 fact-checkers. In the opening paragraph of their article preening about their upcoming coverage, they made it very clear that they weren’t doing this to be fair-minded arbiters of facts—there’s one candidate on the stage who they really, really don’t like.

"Their snarly opening paragraph didn’t even mention Biden:

How do you cover a historic presidential debate that includes a candidate convicted of 34 felonies in what he has called, without evidence, a “rigged trial,” and that will air on TV absent an audience? With a few dozen reporters and fact-checkers. [Emphasis mine.]

" 'Without evidence?" There is in fact a plethora of evidence that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s manufactured business fraud case against Trump ran afoul of previous legal norms and was presided over by an obviously biased Judge Juan Merchan. Commentators on both sides of the political aisle were shocked at the perversion of justice, but the Times could care less—they got what they wanted, namely, the opening to write “convicted felon Donald Trump” over and over. 

"Fired CNN commentator and DNC waterboy Chris Cillizza seemed to feel a thrill running up his leg:" . . .

CNN Issues Unconvincing Official Statement After Booting Trump Spokeswoman from the Air (msn.com)

 "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

"Human nature has not changed since the early 17th century, when William Shakespeare put those iconic words into the mouth of Prince Hamlet's mother, Gertrude.

"In modern English, of course, they mean something like this: The more overwrought your denial of guilt, the more self-serving you appear and the more you raise suspicions about your truthfulness and motives.

"In this sense, Gertrude might help us understand CNN's response to criticism of both Kasie Hunt, host of "CNN This Morning," and Jake Tapper, the longtime establishment shill scheduled to serve as one of two moderators at Thursday's first presidential debate in Atlanta, hosted by CNN.

"The Shakespearean drama began Monday, when Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, appeared on "This Morning."

"When Leavitt pointed to Tapper's lengthy history of anti-Trump behavior, Hunt feigned outrage and then ended the interview by cutting off Leavitt's microphone." . . .

Biden’s Goldilocks/Ponce de Leon cocktail - American Thinker   

You can bet the ranch that his doctors are frantically attempting to find the magic bullet -- the precise dosages of medications that will jack him up to normal or near-normal degrees of consciousness without appearing overly wired, provide him with a competitive edginess without appearing overly combative or angry, and give him the ability to move his limbs and lips without appearing frenetic. A possible, desirable side effect would be an inhibition to embellishment and outright mendacity.

Those same doctors believed they had it nailed for the State of the Union address." . . .

But I'm going to be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs, because we see -- we have seen recently in his State of the Union address that there was a Joe Biden that came out that was not similar at all to what we see on a day-to-day basis for the last 3.5 years.

. . . "I would let him talk uninterrupted because the longer he talks, the greater probability that he will bamboozle himself, start mumbling and doddering, and get into one of those . . . uh, uh, uh, you know — the thing!

"But mainly I would let him talk uninterrupted because, as he starts to settle in, he will start lying. He can’t help it. He is a congenital liar, a pathological liar. It is in his lifeblood. Therefore, that is where I would be especially focused: to catch him in his lies. Don’t let them slip by. Because if I were focused only on what I have to say, I would miss the red meat he would be serving." . . .
