Tucker looks at the basic necessities that help keep communities fed and stable,, which the Biden administration seems to be neglecting.

Highlights include:

“The first three things that any normal nation needs and thinks about obsessively are food, water, and energy. That’s the standard. In China, for example. Every government policy, foreign and domestic, is designed above all to secure adequate reserves of food, water and energy, and that makes sense.”

“The ‘Build Back Better’ agenda was the opposite of that. It did not address, at all, about whether Americans might have enough to eat or could afford enough heating fuel to keep from freezing to death over the winter. Biden’s agenda was focused on the kind of added extras you get to when you’ve fixed everything else and then still have trillions left over.”

“A food shortage is not like deciding to skip dessert. It’s not a diet, it’s not voluntary. A food shortage is different. It’s scary. Food shortages topple governments. They turn moderates into revolutionaries.”

“A food shortage is a big deal. You don’t want one. But now we’re getting one, just a little over a year into Joe Biden’s presidency.”

“Sanctions are designed to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine. We know that because, not so long ago, Tony Blinken, the secretary of state, told CNN that ‘the purpose of the sanctions in the first instance is to try to deter Russia from going to war,’ and then Jen Psaki, the president’s publicist, backed him up.”

“So, sanctions work, except they didn’t actually work. Putin invaded Ukraine anyway, the sanctions failed. So, what’s the response? Admit they failed, try something new? No, Joe Biden is pretending that the administration never claimed sanctions would deter Russia from invading Ukraine.”

“Now they want us to believe that sanctioning Russia can force Putin into withdrawing from Ukraine. Is that true? Can Putin be sanctioned into retreat? Well, we certainly hope it’s true, sincerely. But there’s no evidence that it is true, there’s not even really an expectation that it’s true.”

“So, what is the point? We’re not sure, that’s a topic for another show. But, in the meantime, this country, we know this for sure, is being badly hurt by those sanctions. As Reuters recently reported, ‘Western sanctions on Russia, a major exporter of potash, ammonia, urea and other soil nutrients, have disrupted shipments of those key inputs around the globe. Fertilizer is key to keeping corn, soy, rice and wheat yields high.'”

“It’s not just the war in Ukraine. In response to energy and food shortages, the Biden administration is shutting down domestic oil and gas production. That makes food more expensive, it makes everything else more expensive. And as the pressure on American farmers rises, and as food becomes scarcer and more expensive in this country, that same administration is allowing the government of China to buy up this country’s farmland.”
