This year, according to new estimate, rising inflation will cost the average American family $3,500 in extra post-tax income.

Tucker takes a look at how current inflation is affecting our country, and what the Biden administration is doing about it. They’re continuing to do what they’ve been doing, telling you to take the bus and blaming others for the problem. Highlights include:

“If you want to make a society volatile — not just angry and divided, which is where we are now, but revolutionary and explosive — then you threaten the food supply. More governments have fallen to rising food prices than any other cause, by far. Hungry people are dangerous.”

“The Biden administration doesn’t seem to notice this is happening or acknowledge it. Like all neo-liberals, they treat unchanging truths about anything as heresy, they censor them and shut them down. They live in an entirely ideological world that they’ve created. They believe reality confirms to their theories, not the other way around.”

“Here’s what it looks like in number terms. This year, according to a new estimate, rising inflation will cost the average American family $3,500 in extra post-tax income. Now, that might be bearable if you make $250,000 a year, though you would notice it. But if you make $35,000 a year, that’s a disaster. You will radically change the way you live. Your standard of living will plummet.”

“And that’s exactly what millions of Americans are facing right now.”

“Rising gas prices makes people desperate. You wouldn’t know that from watching television because most of the people who bring you the news don’t know what the price of gas is and a lot of them don’t care because they don’t drive themselves. But the rest of the country cares very deeply what the price of gas is, and in some places the problem is so bad, gas prices are so expensive that thieves have taken to drilling holes in gas tanks to steal it.”

“The question, once again, is how long can this continue? It’s one thing to pretend that boys can compete in girls’ sports and that’s totally natural, it’s always the way it’s been. That may be offensive to people, but when they can’t afford to buy groceries, boy, you are teetering on the edge of something awful. They should wake up, soon.”

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.”
