The anticipated outrage over the neverending leaks of Tucker Carlson videos at Fox News by Media Matters has backfired on the leftist outlet and that includes the latest one where Carlson jokes that he was “triggered” over his Dominion deposition by what he calls a “slimy little motherf***er.”
That’s a sentiment many Americans can relate to and has resulted in making Carlson even more popular in the public eye. Not exactly what Media Matters likely had in mind.
The video looks like it was recorded on the same day that Carlson sat down for his deposition for the now-settled Dominion lawsuit. It was taken on August 26, 2022, and the former Fox News host was wearing the same suit he wore to the deposition, according to the Daily Mail.
As Carlson spoke with staff helping him on-set, he wiped his face with tissues to remove the camera makeup he was wearing. He told them how the attorney “triggered” him during the deposition.
We've got a new FoxLeak.

“Well, that was a week, I’ll say. Holy sh*t, 10 hours. That slimy little motherf***er sitting across from me. Oh, you’re the best. And I wasn’t talking about you. It’s just the opposite,” Carlson stated in the video that was magically obtained by Media Matters.
The assistant demurred off-screen when Carlson told her that.
“No, I’m not. What do you mean, because you’ve never been this affirmed in your life? I bet. Thank you, Alex. Have a happy weekend. See you, man. The amount, it was so unhealthy, the hate — thank you, seriously — the hate that I felt for that guy. I mean, thank you —” he continued.
Someone offscreen asked, “How could you not?”
“Well, I never feel that way, you know, because I don’t put myself. I don’t want to feel that way. I think it’s wrong. It’s bad. It’s totally bad for you to feel that way. But that guy, he triggered the sh*t out of me.’Where are you now? Where do you live?’ The amount of times I had: ‘First of all, f*** you,” on my lips was like, it was unbelievable. Suggesting that I was – that I was cheating on my taxes?” Carlson responded.
Someone said off-screen, “Really?”
“Oh, absolutely. ‘So where, what’s — where are you domiciled? Where are you now? Do you own a home there?’ I was like, No, I do not own a home,” he added.
Considering the circumstances, it’s understandable how Carlson could not put his anger aside toward the Dominion lawyer.
This is the latest in a series of leaked videos that Media Matters just happened to get a hold of. None of them seem to have successfully smeared Carlson. In fact, the opposite appears to be true. And, as yet, it is unclear who leaked the videos and what the value is in exposing Carlson with the clips.
Here are the other videos as a refresher:

1. Prepping for an interview with Piers Morgan, Carlson tells the host, “If we’re going to talk about sex, I’d love to hit some of the fine points of technique”
Morgan replies, “We can certainly talk about your sexual technique, especially after your tanning testicles last week” pic.twitter.com/q41FGWujn8

This is probably just the beginning of the leaks to smear Carlson. The New York Times claims to have a whole trove of “highly incriminating clips.” They are going to have to do a lot better than this if they want to discredit him. Right now they are acting as PR for the former Fox News host and they don’t seem to realize it.
While most at Fox News have not rushed to Carlson’s defense, evidently fearing for their jobs, host Greg Gutfeld has let it slip a couple of times that he’s in his corner.
“[A]pparently everyone understands nonsense banter between segments except for hall monitor failures bitterly chronicling the lives of the far more successful,” Gutfeld responded to Media Matters’ Matthew Gertz who posted the videos on Twitter.
Media Matters gave us a glimpse at a human Tucker Carlson and its awesome. If their goal was to make him look bad, they did exactly the opposite.

One of Carlson’s biggest advocates is former Fox News host Megyn Kelly. She is tearing into the network three ways from Sunday and it is something to behold.
