If the US can’t do this, we will be poor

Fossil fuels aren’t just not bad. Fossil fuels aren’t just a net good. Fossil Fuels are the only thing that make the United States a rich country and not a poor country.

Tucker looks at how well other countries are doing with their own sudden shifts to ‘renewable energy’. Highlights include:

“Get rid of fossil fuels? Yeah, what then? Well, starvation, poverty, societal collapse.”

“Voters, it turns out, are not into any of those things, and so nothing that resembles the ‘Green New Deal’ is going to pass the United States Congress in our lifetimes provided this remains an actual democracy, which is to say provided the public has anything to say about how they’re governed. That’s a non-starter here, it’s never gonna happen by democratic means.”

“But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen, it doesn’t mean that ideologues can’t impose the ‘Green New Deal’ on weaker countries that are too poor to refuse it. And over the past several years, that’s exactly what they’ve done. So, the ‘Green New Deal’ has actually taken effect around the world, so we don’t have to guess about what would happen if it took effect here. We can know. That’s science.”

“Everything that’s happened in Sri Lanka and Ghana and the Netherlands is happening at the behest, not simply of ideologues, but of some of the largest financial institutions in the world. They want more of this.”

“It’s why Ghana has achieved a near perfect ESG Environmental Impact Score of 97.7. According to World Economic Research, Sri Lanka has an ESG score of 98.1, The Netherlands 98.7. So, the poorer you get, the more human suffering there is, the higher your ESG score. And that’s important because companies will not invest unless you have a high ESG score. Interesting. So, these countries have no choice.”

“How did that work? Well, like everything in South Africa, no one in America really wants to know. It’s their favorite country, it’s a huge success, what’s like like in South Africa for people of all colors?”

“Well, The Guardian, of all places, reported at the time, ‘Solar biomass and wind energy systems are popping up all over the country and feeding clean energy into the strained electrical grid’. So, their grid’s been falling apart since 1994, but no problem, the green energy ‘geniuses’ are going to save South Africa. How’d that work? Well, seven years later the Washington Post reports that South Africa regularly experiences ‘rolling blackouts … last eight hours or more, crippling economic activity and disrupting life in this nation of 60 million people.’ And that’s true, ask anyone who lives there. It’s falling apart.”

“This past June, the heads of three French energy companies called on the public to ‘Immediately reduce consumption of fuel, oil, electricity and gas amid shortages and soaring prices.’ Oh. Stop civilization. It doesn’t work. That same month, France’s president publicly begged Joe Biden to start producing more oil because the Saudi’s cannot make enough to supply Europe. So, only the Europeans have been dumb enough to embrace this. Unlike Ghana they can afford not to, but they are anyway out of some weird sense of collective guilt.”

“In the United States, our ESG score on environmental issues currently stands at 58. But Joe Biden, who buys into every stupid trend, wants to change that. It’s very important to get our ESG score up because we wanna’ be more like Ghana. So, at the very moment that Biden is sending our strategic petroleum reserve, which we own, he doesn’t, to his son’s business partners in China, he is vowing to end fossil fuels in this country and boost our ESG score.”

“So, let’s just be really clear. Fossil fuels aren’t just not bad. Fossil fuels aren’t just a net good. Fossil fuels are the only thing that stands between the United States becoming Ghana. Fossil Fuels are the only thing that make the United States a rich country and not a poor country.”

“We have the largest recoverable oil reserves in the world. If we can’t tap those, we will be Ghana, we will be poor. But Joe Biden doesn’t care, and so he is clamping down on our ability to extract them. And like the leaders of every other country driven into the ground by green energy schemes thought up by morons like Sandy Cortez, he’s taking no responsibility for the damage he has caused.”

“The problem is, he doesn’t know anything about refining or extracting or how the grid works, or anything about anything because he’s never had a real job, he’s worked for the federal government since he was in his 20s. None of these people have any experience doing anything. So, to get a lecture on the power grid or energy from people who have no idea what it is is a bit much and the topic is too important to continue to listen to their nonsense as we become poorer.”

This would give the government terrifying power

This isn’t about banning TikTok. This is about introducing flat out totalitarianism into our system.

Tucker looks at what’s potentially bad about our government’s bipartisan effort to ban TikTok, a move many of us would be on board with…if it weren’t another crudely disguised attempt to rush through something that gives them more vague powers in the name of national security. Highlights include:

“Every day more than 2 billion people use the social media app called TikTok. Many of them are young people under the age of 24. If you had kids, you probably know already how TikTok works. TikTok lets users upload short videos, usually they’re under 30 seconds. What’s interesting is that the content of these videos varies a lot depending upon what country you’re in. If you’re in China, where TikTok is headquartered, you tend to get more educational content. But if you live in this country, you get an awful lot of filth and propaganda tailored for kids.”

“Can you see what’s going on here? Well, China does, they run TikTok and China knows if you want a productive society that extends beyond, say, next week, you teach your kids about hard work and creativity and personal responsibility, respect for authority. But if you want to destroy a society, you funnel a bunch of garbage to kids about gender ideology and ‘twerking’. As the account ‘Libs of TikTok’ has documented extensively, that’s exactly what TikTok is doing here. There’s a whole genre of videos of teachers boasting about indoctrinating kids.”

“Right now, in response to criticism of TikTok, China’s government and the company itself are doing the same thing they did when they responded to allegations of a lab leak in Wuhan. They’re saying anyone who raises questions is a racist, and they’re doing that everywhere across the media, and they can because a lot of the news that you consume is paid for by TikTok.”

“One of the bills that would ban TikTok is being pushed, as we said, by senators in both parties. It’s called the Restrict Act. Mark Warner of Virginia and John Thune of South Dakota, Democrat and Republican, introduced this legislation. Now, the bill is ostensibly protecting American national security and ending ‘foreign adversaries’ from interfering in our elections through apps like TikTok, because of course election interference by Twitter and Facebook is no problem at all, but election interference from TikTok is totally unacceptable, okay. But in reality, and you should know this if you’re opposed to TikTok, as we are, this bill isn’t really about banning TikTok, it’s never about what they say it is. Instead, this bill would give enormous and terrifying new powers to the federal government to punish American citizens and regulate how they communicate with one another. For example, the bill would regulate ‘certain transactions between persons in the United States and foreign adversaries’. Now, what’s a foreign adversary and who gets to decide? Well, the Secretary of Commerce and the DNI, not the Congress, get to decide what foreign adversaries are.”

“So, if the Biden administration decides that you’re doing this, then the secretary of commerce can then enforce ‘any mitigation measure to address any risk arising from any covered transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States’. These ‘covered transactions’ can involve ‘current, past, or potential future transactions’, and the mitigation measures include, but are not limited to throwing American citizens in prison for 20 years.”

“So, you would be allowing the executive branch, the Biden administration, to regulate speech on the internet, and if you are somehow involved with a ‘foreign adversary’, lets say you oppose the war against Russia, you got to prison for 20 years. So, this isn’t about banning TikTok, this is about introducing flat out totalitarianism into our system.”

Tucker: This is malicious

In this country the prosecution has to, for Constitutional and moral reasons, turn over exculpatory evidence to the defense. That did not happen. This is wrong.

Tucker comments on the Biden administration’s wanting to arrest up to another 1200 people, not for committing crimes, but for showing their support for democracy, the left’s second favorite word since Biden took office. Highlights include:

“Here’s what we know, a Soros-funded prosecutor in New York, a man who ran on the promise to indict Trump, seems to be working hard to indict Trump, indicting him for a crime that no one even pretends is a crime, including the federal agency that has already investigated it and declared it not a crime.”

“So, in Manhattan tomorrow, what will certainly be an overwhelmingly liberal grand jury will meet, and unless something unexpected happens, Democrats will have taken the unprecedented step of using a corrupt justice system to take out the front runner in the Republican presidential field in a presidential race, and if that happens, America will never be the same.”

“As of tonight, it’s not just Trump who is the target of this, it’s Trump’s voters. The Biden administration is in the process of preparing yet another law enforcement dragnet of more than 1,000 non-violent January 6 protesters. These are not people who broke windows or tussled with cops, these are patriotic Americans who dared to question the official story of the 2020 election.”

“They watched with the rest of us as covid was used as a pretext to eliminate longstanding barriers to voter fraud. They saw a democratic partisan Mark Zuckerberg spend nearly half a billion dollars to influence the mechanics of voting, including in critical swing states. Nevertheless, as they watched the news on the night of November 3, Trump seemed to be winning reelection, and then they woke up and smug tv anchors are telling them that actually, a senile man who refused to campaign had won the biggest landslide in American history.”

“The Biden administration has identified 1,000 additional Trump voters for non-crimes that they claim took place on January 6, mostly walking as Jacob Chansley did. In recent months, according to a story in the Washington Post, US attorney Matthew Graves, a willing tool of the Biden administration , has written to court officials alerting them that an additional 700 to 1200 people may be charged stemming from January 6.”

“This dragnet is so vast that prosecutors are warning DC jails and prisons will be overrun with prisoners, prisoners you can at this point only describe as political prisoners. The Washington Post reports, ‘In recent months, law enforcement and judicial authorities have engaged in discussions to manage the huge volume of Jan. 6 cases without overwhelming the courthouse where pleas and trials are held.'”

“This is depraved and it’s malicious.”

“Now, whatever you think of Jacob Chansley or Donald Trump, if you cared about civil liberties, you would be outraged by this. This is as grave a Constitutional violation as you can have. In this country the prosecution has to, for Constitutional and moral reasons, turn over exculpatory evidence to the defense. That did not happen. This is wrong. This man is rotting in prison, his life has ended for a crime he did not commit and that he was not allowed to fairly defend himself against, but liberals didn’t care. They no longer seem to have any interest in justice or civil rights.”

“What you just saw is a measure of the total moral corruption of our news media and the institutions they serve in Washington and it’s implications for you. If they’ll endorse the unjust destruction of one man, they have no limits. They will do anything, and now with these impending arrests, they’re showing you what they will do. So, if you support the wrong presidential candidate, you get arrested and don’t get to see exculpatory evidence in your trial. Apparently, those are the rules. But if you do vote the ‘right’ way, you get paid. Democrats raise money for your bail when you commit violent crimes, they’ll even force taxpayers to give you money after the fact.”

“What’s so interesting is how you never see these very same people fantasize about locking up, say, the murderers or rapists or armed robbers or people who push elderly women in front of subway cars who are making New York City unlivable. This is a city in which the homicide rate jumped more than 50% from 2019 to 2021 because of their policies. They don’t care about that. They’re not mad at the murderers who cause shootings to increase more than 100% in that same period. They’re not mad that Alvin Bragg, their new favorite prosecutor dropped 70% of actual criminal cases since taking office so that these same criminals can continue to terrorize poor people in neighborhoods where MSNBC anchors live.”
