Homelessness is a manufactured crisis

Politicians are making it much easier to be a homeless drug addict in the United States and much harder it is to be a law-abiding member of the middle class.

Tucker examines the cause and solutions to the homeless crisis in America. Highlights include:

“No matter what they tell you, homelessness is not an act of God. It’s not the result of economic collapse in this country, America did not run out of housing.”

“Instead, a determined group of well-funded ideologues decided to make it easier to live on the streets in this country while doing drugs.”

“Therefore, many more people now live on the streets while doing drugs.”

“Luxury apartments are just the beginning. Seattle’s most recent municipal budget allocates more than $150 million to other so-called homelessness programs, just this year. Now, keep in mind Seattle has fewer than 750,000 people living there, so that’s an awful lot of money per bum. It’s certainly a lot more than anyone else is getting in Seattle. At the same time it was giving overpriced condos to drug addicts. Seattle allocated just $10 million total for its small business stabilization fund, designed to keep family businesses from going bankrupt during the covid lockdowns.”

“You get what you pay for. When you pay for homelessness, you get a lot more of it.”

“In Los Angeles, politicians have spent billions ‘fighting homelessness.’ This has been accompanied, of course, by a massive increase in the number of people who are homeless. Four years ago, the city spent $440 million on what it called ‘solutions to homelessness.’ That was supposed to fix the problem. Did it? Homelessness in Los Angeles jumped 15% just last year.”

“As for the small businesses crushed by the city’s lunatic covid restrictions, you ask? Well, they get $62 million total.”

“Focusing our attention and money on people who contribute nothing, who only detract from the project that is this country, who don’t help their communities or anybody’s community, who hurt other people, who live solely for themselves, who are a danger to the rest of us … that’s insane.”

“Politicians are making it much easier to be a homeless drug addict in the United States and much harder it is to be a law-abiding member of the middle class.”

“What’s the effect? Well, let’s see. The middle class is dying and we now have record numbers of drug-addicted vagrants. What does that tell you? It tells you that incentives work. If you destroy the nuclear family, which they have, if you decriminalize drugs, which they have, if you hand out tents and needles to addicts, what do you think is going to happen? You’re gonna get more addicts living in tents.”

“The solution is as simple as the problem. Here’s the solution. Stop putting up with it. Say no. No, you can’t smoke meth in the park. You’re not allowed to crap on the sidewalk. Pull up your pants and get the hell out of here. Go somewhere with lower standards. Head for a place where politicians don’t care about their people, because we do care. This is our city, you’re not allowed to wreck it, you didn’t build it.”

“That’s not hard. That works. We know it work because that’s how societies functioned for about 2000 years.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
