        Alberto, there is your error -- Hanson has always been an ideologue, but since (some) people agreed with his analysis, it was easy to overlook his biases. Good historical analysis slanted by bias = bad historical analysis. You give him too much credit

        Maybe. I enjoyed a couple of his books quite a bit, ideological alant and all, but it may have been because of the vivid descriptions of battles. I still remember his narration of Gaugamela

        Did... Did Tucker son of Carl, son of Swan, just call for socialized dental coverage? In all seriousness, I honestly think Tucker is parroting a Trotskyite.

        Wow, Tucker on Fox worrying about the little people and campaigning for healthcare for those who can't afford it, denouncing political pundits for being too elitist. How very liberal and left wing socialist of him.

        Imagine lamenting people who can’t afford dental care while simultaneously trying to take away healthcare from these same people whether ACA or Medi-care/caid?

        Much like being a "fine economist", it should be fairly evident that being a "fine military historian" doesn't confer competence or expertise in any other area.

        Especially true of pure entertainers whose medium is opinions. If their schtick is you're supposed to take them seriously on topics outside of entertainment, then it's a grift. Griftertainment. Never take griftertainers seriously. They're for amusement purposes only.

        Kinda weird to hear Tucker Carlson acting concerned about the cost of dental or any kind of health care for low-income Americans.

        Tucker asks why are people increasingly hostile toward those in poor rural areas... it’s because they continue to vote against their best interest and we all suffer for it.

        So the best guest Tucker could get to weigh in on social commentary is a military historian? @TuckerCarlson producers really had to dig for someone, huh?

        The absolute best part of this clip is that Tucker played Rick's entire tirade, so all of Tucker's viewers got to hear about how they've been conned like idiots. And probably none even picked up on it.
