"A Moron", "Brain-dead", "Dumb": Tucker Carlson Unloads On Joy Reid And The Ivy League

[Ubiquitous]

Tucker Carlson held nothing back on Tuesday night, branding MSNBC host
Joy Reid a “moron” before broadening his attack against the “compliant,
brain-dead, dumb leaders” of America’s elite institutions during an
interview on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

Host Laura Ingraham noted that the left-wing commentators who accuse
Republicans of being Russian dupes are “the same individuals who in the
1980s, when I was in college, were making excuses for the Soviet Union”
and demonstrating against the Reagan administration’s successful
foreign policy, which led to the downfall of the USSR. “All of those
people are now are like, ‘Well, this much weaker Russia is our biggest
problem facing the United States.’ And meanwhile, you have people on
television like Joy Reid who thinks that anyone who isn’t beating the
war drums is basically a Kremlin apologist.”

Ingraham then aired a clip of Reid asserting that “Trump’s ties to
Russia, the help his campaign accepted from them … are all too real,”
despite the fact that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report found no
instances of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Reid
proceeded to claim “the Republican Party, once a stalwart opponent of
Soviet aggression during the Cold War, are [sic] now essentially
Kremlin apologists.”

Carlson responded that no one who made such broad-brush attacks was
presenting a serious argument. “I have to say, you have to pull back a
little bit: That woman, who is a moron, went to Harvard. I went to
Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut — so, who’s got the privilege,
exactly?” asked Carlson. “This is someone who’s not capable of thinking
clearly, or expressing herself clearly, or writing a coherent sentence,
and she got into Harvard!”

Reid’s elevation from Harvard to multiple, eponymous, nationally
televised cable news programs proves “that our system” is “elevating,
and producing the most mediocre people imaginable,” Carlson continued.
“That’s the core problem, and they run every American institution –
these people who’ve been brought up through a system that is designed
to create compliant, brain-dead, dumb leaders. And it’s doing that very
effectively, obviously,” apparently referring back to Reid’s cable news
career.

Reid’s low-rated MSNBC show “The ReidOut” recently featured a
Democratic lawmaker proclaiming that Florida’s “children are more
smarter [sic] than we think they are” and anti-Trump pundit Michael
Steele eating paper live on the air. Reid also asked Dr. Anthony Fauci
to evaluate the same far-fetched COVID-19 scenario, asking the same
question in nearly identical wording (and getting the same dismissive
response), two months apart.

The highly rated Fox News duo then pivoted from Russia to China.
Ingraham, who agreed that Russia is “an adversary” to U.S. foreign
policy goals, asked Carlson why “these same individuals who are pushing
the war narrative in Ukraine for U.S. forces, [are] the same ones who
seem to soft pedal criticism, often times, of China.”

“They’re not getting rich from Russia,” replied Carlson.

The Daily Wire’s new documentary series “China: The Enemy Within” by
filmmaker Lee Smith, exposes how U.S. leaders have sold out the
American middle class, imperiled U.S. national security, and throttled
criticism of China’s abysmal human rights record for personal
enrichment. Beginning no later than the late 1990s, China offered
powerful American politicians, business interests, and the
entertainment industry “a place for the American establishment to build
wealth and power without anyone looking over their shoulder.” As a
result, Beijing created “an enormous network of American elites who
draw their wealth, power, and prestige from their relationship with the
Chinese Communist Party,” Smith told me in an exclusive interview.

Ingraham went on to note that Russia’s economy is roughly the size of
Italy’s, undermining a major goal of Kremlin apologists. One of the
foremost goals of Russian propaganda is to make Moscow appear more
powerful than it is, Péter Krekó, a former fellow at the National
Endowment for Democracy and executive director of the Budapest-based
Political Capital Institute, told the 2017 European Liberty Conference.
The legacy media have accomplished this task beyond Moscow’s wildest
dreams. Russia — which lost 1 million people in 2021, the largest
peacetime population decline in Russian history — has a contracting
population, an aging nuclear arsenal, and an economy smaller than the
GDP of Texas. “Russia may struggle to project and maintain influence
globally,” according to an April 2021 report from the U.S. National
Intelligence Council.

China — which has made increasingly menacing moves toward Taiwan, which
the U.S. is legally obligated to defend — has the world’s second-
largest economy: $14.7 trillion in 2020, according to the World Bank.
The Heritage Foundation’s 2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength
concluded that the U.S. military would “certainly would be ill-equipped
to handle two nearly simultaneous” major regional conflicts at the same
time.
