re: Gawd dam, Tucker undressed this clown from CA, Rep Eric Swallowell

To be fair, plenty of his guests are straight up idiots and basically a punching bag for him to beat on.

Also helps knowing the guests political views so you can position the questions to make them look like idiots.

I know they're on time constraints, but he rarely ever let's the person actually answer the question. He asks the question and once the person starts to answer and fumbles for a split second, he jumps in with a gotcha line and cuts them off.

Calling him wise is laughable

I watched and have come to the conclusion that Tucker Carlson has got to be one of the wisest and most intelligent news commentators/interviewers alive now.

Because he keeps his questions short and simple. He wants a direct answer without deflection. As soon as a guest starts deflecting Tuck makes them answer his direct question. Other hosts basically always leave an "out" for their guests to twist the conversation. TC doesn't.
