They hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop: \u2018This guy\u2019s got to stop talking. We\u2019ve got to shut this guy up,&#8217;\u201d Carlson says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about \u2014 what do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking. And there\u2019s always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, \u2018I\u2019ve got an idea. Why don\u2019t we just kill him? That\u2019ll shut him up, that\u2019ll fix the problem,&#8217;\u201d Carlson says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t work that way.
