Shocking surveillance footage shows the moment at least eight suspects engaged in a heated attack on two 7-Eleven clerks - after they refused to sell a cigar to an underage girl.
Now being slammed as a 'senseless act of violence', the Saturday night attack happened at one of the chain's stores in small-town Texas, and saw the female staffers struck several times and pelted with snacks from the shelves.
The violence started around 9pm - after one of the clerks seen in the footage refused to sell the tobacco product to a member of the party who was under 21, leading her to return with the rest of the juveniles.
'By this point, it's possible American citizens are the least informed people in the world,' he said. 'Diversity is our strength; trans women are women; Zelensky is Churchill: it's all self evidently true. Doesn't need an explanation. And don't ask questions.'
Carlson began 'Episode 1', as he titled it, by discussing Ukraine, and the attack on Tuesday morning of the Kakhovka dam.
Russia and Ukraine have accused each other striking the dam which will cause widespread flooding in the war-torn country.
US intelligence sources have claimed the Biden administration has evidence that Vladimir Putin's troops are responsible.
The Kremlin has claimed that Kyiv bombarded the structure to distract from their faltering counter-offensive launched in recent days.
Carlson took the side of Russia, arguing that it would not be in the interests of the Kremlin to see the dam blown up.
'This morning it looks like someone blew up the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine,' he told viewers.
Carlson said many people assumed it was President Vladimir Putin who ordered the dam be blown up, then added: 'Oh, but that is where you are wrong, Mr and Mrs Cable News Consumer.'
He pointed out that the dam was in Russian territory, captured in the early days of the war in the spring of 2022, and therefore it would be as if 'Putin attacked himself'.
The damage, however, is to Ukrainian lands, and 1,300 people have been evacuated: 80 settlements are at risk of flooding.
Carlson continued, deep with sarcasm: 'We can say for a dead certain fact that Zelensky was not involved. He couldn't have been. Zelensky is too decent for terrorism.'
Carlson said that Zelensky was 'sweaty and rat-like; a comedian turned oligarch'.
He then mockingly noted that George W. Bush likened Zelensky to Winston Churchill.
'Of all the people in the world, our shifty, dead-eyed Ukrainian friend in the tracksuit is uniquely incapable of blowing up the dam,' Carlson said.
'He is literally a living saint: a man in who there is no sin.'
Carlson savaged Lindsey Graham for supporting Ukraine and visiting Zelensky: he said Graham relished the prospect of dead Russians, comparing it to a starving man smelling food.
He also attacked Nikki Haley for her support of Zelensky's war, saying she could not explain why the U.S. should back Ukraine.
Carlson said Americans were being served 'pap day after day, in steaming, lumpy portions'.
He added: 'Your average Yak herder in Tajikistan knows who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. It's obvious.
'Does he think some skinny dude in a dress is actually a girl?
'Come on. That idea would never occur to him. You've got to be lied to, at full volume, over a number of years to reach conclusions like that.'
