00:00:00.000 In the world of the bizarre, the meltdown of Tucker Carlson continues apace.
00:00:06.000 Yesterday, apparently on his show, or two days ago on his show, he said some, again, he's saying weird stuff a lot these days.
00:00:14.000 I'm not going to try and get inside his head because it feels like it's a pretty wild place in there.
00:00:18.000 A lot of nicotine floating around, a lot of crazy ideas about Jews.
00:00:25.000 It seems like maybe some cobwebs, maybe not all the synapses are firing, but something, um, I don't even know how to care.
00:00:33.000 I'm just going to play this because, um, what?
00:00:39.000 As noted, part of it is the nature of war results in the deaths of innocents.
00:00:45.000 And if you look at that enough on a screen, it's like if you look at pornography enough or bestiality videos all day, after a while, like it's kind of an attractive horse.
00:00:52.000 I get it.
00:00:53.000 I'm not into it personally, but it's not crazy.
00:00:57.000 Like we are shaped by the world around us, of course.
00:01:00.000 So if you're like living in a country that's blowing up schoolgirls, the first time you hear about it, it shocks you.
00:01:05.000 The fifth time you hear about it, you're like, yeah, war is hard.
00:01:08.000 Mistakes are made in war, as Trump said.
00:01:10.000 Civilians die in war.
00:01:11.000 It's very unfortunate.
00:01:14.000 Again, he's trying to compare Americans who look at the costs of war to maybe him looking at sexy horses.
00:01:26.000 Maybe he's just upset that women in the gym are dressing like horses. 1.00
00:01:32.000 Listen, I've been saying for a long time Tucker's a horse's ass. 1.00
00:01:36.000 I did not realize he was into horses' ass. 1.00
00:01:39.000 Apparently, some men of Tucker's age want to sleep with their secretaries, but Tucker just wants to sleep with his secretariat. 1.00
00:01:46.000 I knew that he loved Russian dictators.
00:01:48.000 I did not realize until now that he was such a fan of Catherine the Great as well.
00:01:53.000 Maybe those weren't claw marks on his back, they were in the shape of horseshoes.
00:01:59.000 Well, it turns out, sadly, again, awkward clips on the internet.
00:02:04.000 Folks, the internet never dies.
00:02:06.000 The internet is forever.
00:02:08.000 It turns out that it's not just about the horses.
00:02:11.000 He's also into animals of the dromedary type.
00:02:16.000 He's into the humps. 1.00
00:02:18.000 The lovely camel lumps. 1.00
00:02:18.000 The humps. 1.00
00:02:22.000 Who has brainwashed you to think the camels are so attractive?
00:02:25.000 I've just been marinating in the Saudi kingdom long enough that I like the camels with the fuller lips.
00:02:31.000 I like the ones with the symmetrical humps.
00:02:34.000 I like the ones with the powerful chests and the lithe back legs. 0.99
00:02:37.000 Like I have strong camel lumps. 0.98
00:02:39.000 Look at you, Mr. Carlson.
00:02:41.000 Look at you.
00:02:42.000 Namus.
00:02:43.000 Namus.
00:02:44.000 Namus.
00:02:45.000 I'm not going to do that.
00:02:56.000 Okay, then Tucker Carlson.
00:02:59.000 I guess he's trying to save a cowboy, ride a horse.
00:03:03.000 He just can't stop horsing around.
00:03:04.000 I feel like he's off to the races with this one.
00:03:09.000 Pretty weird.
00:03:09.000 I feel like Tucker needs to rein it in.
00:03:11.000 He just needs to.
00:03:15.000 Has he ever been more unstable?
00:03:18.000 I mean, Tucker's just walking around going, hey, is for horses.
00:03:24.000 Oh, man, these jokes are getting worse and worse, but we're going to, we have to continue.
00:03:28.000 We must by law.
00:03:30.000 Apparently, he wants to ride a horse hard and put it away wet.
00:03:35.000 I know. 1.00
00:03:37.000 You know, if you send him a gift horse, apparently he looks it right in the ass. 1.00
00:03:43.000 These are getting even worse. 0.99
00:03:45.000 Did I write them?
00:03:46.000 Maybe.
00:03:48.000 Tucker doesn't want a plow horse, he just wants to plow a horse.
00:03:56.000 I guess, does he?
00:03:59.000 He prefers riding bareback. 0.89
00:04:01.000 And finally, I suppose he's just demanding to know why the Jews banned screwing the horses in the book of Leviticus. 0.60
00:04:09.000 Vladimir Putin never tried to stop him from screwing a horse. 0.55
00:04:15.000 Is he a groomer of horses?
00:04:19.000 Well, next we'll see him in Fifty Shades of Hay.
00:04:24.000 I guess he's feeling the need, the need for.
00:04:29.000 He's feeling the need, the need for steed.
00:04:37.000 No.
00:04:39.000 I've told you about this forever.
00:04:39.000 Helix.
00:04:41.000 I'm back at home, which means I'm sleeping better.
00:04:42.000 I'm on my Helix sleep mattress.
00:04:42.000 Why?
00:04:43.000 It's a mattress made just for me.
00:04:45.000 How many times have I got to tell you about this?
00:04:46.000 Just go do it already.
00:04:47.000 And they have an amazing offer right now.
00:04:49.000 Their sleep trial used to be 120 nights.
00:04:52.000 So you could try it for like four months.
00:04:55.000 And then if you didn't like it, you could send it back.
00:04:56.000 Now it's a full year.
00:04:57.000 It's 365 nights.
00:04:58.000 That's a full year to sleep on the mattress in your own home and make sure it's actually right for you.
00:05:02.000 Every Helix also ships free in the US, includes a limited lifetime warranty and the Happy with Helix guarantee for those seamless returns and exchanges again.
00:05:10.000 That's a 365 night sleep trial, an entire year, not four months.
00:05:14.000 So that's a long time to figure out whether you like it or not, like a long time.
00:05:17.000 And you're going to like it.
00:05:18.000 That's how confident they are in their own product.
00:05:20.000 The only way that Helix can make that offer is they know you're going to like the mattress, right?
00:05:23.000 Because that's true, because it was made just for you.
00:05:25.000 You take their Helix quiz, they send you a mattress that is customized just for you.
00:05:29.000 Check them out right now.

00:05:38.000 Helixsleep.comslash Ben. 0.84
00:05:41.000 The protest movement of losers, the pro Palestine movement, continues to pace.
00:05:46.000 Greta Thunberg, who just travels from protest movement to protest movement. 0.99
00:05:49.000 First, she was a completely useless minor. 0.99
00:05:51.000 Now she is of the age of majority, so I can mock her as much as I want for her haircut from The Prince in Shrek. 0.99
00:05:59.000 And also for the fact she literally has nothing to do but go take pictures of herself among various protest movements. 0.98
00:06:04.000 Well, now she's blocking the entrance to a French factory that makes parts that are used by Israel. 0.99
00:06:09.000 Her uselessness is beyond all boundaries. 0.93
00:06:12.000 Here she was. 0.97
00:06:15.000 We are currently blocking the entrances to the weapons factory Eurolinks in the outskirts of Marseille, who are supplying Israel with weapon components used to kill Palestinians in the genocide.
00:06:26.000 The genocide is still going on, but it is happening with the complicity of our governments and our companies.
00:06:32.000 So we all have a duty to stand up and stop the arms transfer used to kill innocent people. 0.71
00:06:37.000 Okay, so, again, as long as she speaks in her bizarre accent. 0.58
00:06:45.000 And pretends to be upset about things while smiling, then that means that the cause is apparently good.
00:06:51.000 Pretty incredible stuff.
00:06:52.000 Meanwhile, media malpractice continues every single day with regard to the Gaza conflict.
00:06:56.000 Hamas still is ruling a heavy part of Gaza and literally just murdering people and confiscating the assets of people who are living there.
00:07:04.000 And people then just lie about it.
00:07:06.000 So, for example, there's been a lot of talk about the killing of a so called journalist named Mohammed Nabiq Al Zakh. 0.90
00:07:12.000 Well, there's only one problem dude's a terrorist.
00:07:14.000 I mean, literally the same guy wearing full on terrorist outfits.
00:07:19.000 And then he just switches into his press gear and magically he's a member of the press.
00:07:22.000 It's just magical.
00:07:23.000 Here's some of the footage.
00:07:24.000 There he is.
00:07:24.000 You can see him.
00:07:25.000 He's like dressed as an actual terrorist.
00:07:27.000 And oh, look.
00:07:29.000 Oh, look. 0.87
00:07:29.000 Now he's going to be dressed as a terrorist again. 0.87
00:07:31.000 But wait, wait, wait for it.
00:07:32.000 Wait for it.
00:07:34.000 He is.
00:07:34.000 Oh, look.
00:07:35.000 Now he's a member of the press.
00:07:37.000 Wow.
00:07:38.000 Look at that.
00:07:38.000 Just magical.
00:07:40.000 Magical.
00:07:43.000 Great job, everyone.
