There's a new clip of Tucker Carlson that's worth seeing. Typically, that only happens when his own guests turn on him, like when historian Rutger Bregman called him "a millionaire funded by billionaires." Carlson shot back with a "go fuck yourself" and, sadly, Fox News never aired the segment. Thankfully, you can still see it here.

On Tuesday night's airing of his show, Carlson was very preoccupied with how much attention the media is giving Pete Buttigieg. The South Bend mayor and presidential candidate has been getting so much coverage that Carlson is worried that Beto O'Rourke, Texas representative, presidential candidate, and media darling himself, is being spurned. "One morning, you wake up and discover that your one true love, the American news media, has called it off. They've left you for a younger, hotter candidate. They went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came home."

Latent abandonment issues aside, Carlson's not wrong! Buttigieg has been everywhere, and as Vox points out, that's at least equal parts media infatuation and campaign strategy, since so much exposure helps with standing out in a crowded field. But Carlson's been pretty smitten with Beto as well, and has devoted a good bit of air time to him. He's even read aloud poems that the Texas Democrat wrote as a student. But Carlson sees a much deeper yearning for Buttigieg.

"'Chicken soup for my soul.' Even by the naughty standards of the news media, this is a new level of commitment. They don't just want to vote for this guy. They want to consume him like a hearty stew. Every last drop of Buttigieg. Yum. They're all in."

Listening to Tucker Carlson say "yum" is probably the darkest possible ASMR. It may be off-putting as hell, but you can't listen to it just once.
