Sauron Explains the History of Gondor

Mr. Sauron, why did you invade Gondor? You see Tucker in order to truly understand the history of Sauron you must understand Morgoth. I’d like to walk you through the First Age for a brief moment. I’m assuming you’ve read the Ainulindalë?

Tucker Carlson appears to interview Sauron about invading Gondor, but Sauron responds with an excessively elaborate lecture about Morgoth, the First Age, and the Ainulindalë. The joke is the contrast between a simple political question and an absurdly deep Tolkien lore explanation, making it useful as a reaction to someone overexplaining.
