TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): We've been taken by surprise by the whole thing. We're not the only ones who were, but we are willing to admit it. The only thing more embarrassing than being wrong in your estimates is pretending that you weren't.
So why didn't we see this coming, this total loss of control? Well, because we assumed that if things were dire, serious people would be involved in fixing them. But we looked up and we saw Kamala Harris involved, and that reassured us.
...
Kamala Harris' job is to trot down to the blue room periodically to greet delegations of TikTok influencers, or to cut occasional PSA's for children's dental health awareness month, which is in February, so we assume she will be working on that right now.
But averting war with Russia, saving the civilized world? Come on, that is absolutely not Kamala Harris' job. That was our assumption. But, as noted, we were wrong.
Why were we wrong? Well, we spend a lot of time watching Kamala Harris. You probably don't. Unless you are junior producer at MSNBC, you're probably not that familiar with Kamala Harris.
We should say, by the way, we didn't underestimate Vladimir Putin, we overestimated Joe Biden. But we knew that once Kamala Harris was involved, it couldn't really be that serious.
