Politics can be difficult to understand, but, with a bit of help from the experts, even the most clueless among us can learn more about the financial and legal systems governing the world around us. Consider California: a simple person, unversed in the intricacies of American political systems, might consider it a state that, though troubled by income inequality, in no way resembles a dystopian wasteland. Fox News experts, though, would disagree, as we can see in this clip of Tucker “I Was Somehow Cooler With The Bowties” Carlson interviewing noted financial and legal scholar, Fabio Lanzoni.
Carlson introduces his topic by furrowing his brow in trademark puzzlement while recounting the waste management details of a Californian homeless camp as a summary of the state’s general health. “It sounds chaotic and dirty,” he says. “Let me tell you something right now about California,” Fabio replies, no doubt squeezing Kegels below camera-height so as to sneak in a quick work-out during the interview, “It [looks] like a wild, wild west.”
Fabio, a sentient wig, continues by informing viewers just how skewed their perceptions of California may be. We learn that the state’s laws are created by criminals who govern with an eye toward protecting their criminal brethren (ISIS is, of course, name-checked), that “not even third-world countries 30 years ago look like California right now, downtown,” and, best of all, that the public libraries are “like Sodom and Gomorrah,” filled with “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.”
