Badass Rutger Bregman, Dutch Historian Calls Out Fox TV 'Millionaire' Tucker Carlson

[appalachiablue]

Go to the 3 min. mark for the spat, the rest is good too.

Rutger, the Red- Haired Dutchman and historian who spoke out at Davos last year against income inequality - 'Just Pay Your Taxes!,' talks wealth and taxes to Fox TV show host Tucker Carlson.

Rutger tells Carlson 'he's a millionaire funded by billionaires- the Cato Institute, the Kochs, the Murdochs.' And Tucker is none too happy. (Feb. 20, 2019).

4. Taking private planes to Davos to talk about the environment?

The only one I personally know who went to Davos to talk about the environment was Howard Dean. He flew commercial, and he flew coach. I saw him a day later in Geneva, and he came by train, second class.

5. That was great, but of course Carlson never aired it. We need more Bregmans. nt

7. Exact nos. I don't know but several people

at Davos brought up the subject incl. David Attenborough in his speech. It's a lot of planes.

TC really sounds like that?
