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

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

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.

at Davos brought up the subject incl. David Attenborough in his speech. It's a lot of planes.
TC really sounds like that?
