Perhaps Tucker Carlson's most profound monologue ever
2022-03-13
[American Thinker] I won't lie: I'm a Tucker Carlson fan. He is willing to speak honestly about topics others ignore, sugarcoat, or lie about. Even when I don't agree with him, I find him worthwhile, and never more so than his Friday-night monologue about Biden's latest, terrifying power-grab and how our government is destroying the American economy. It was a tour de force, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Tucker opened with something I'd meant to write about and now don't need to: without a single pause, the Biden administration slipped effortlessly from COVID emergency powers (which are now passé thanks to polling) and is, instead, assuming war powers, even though we're not at war:
At exactly the moment when the emergency powers they awarded to themselves to fight COVID started to wane, our leaders began pushing for conflict with Russia. And then, on the basis of that conflict, they assumed historic war powers.

Without even pausing, the Biden administration declared total economic war on a sovereign country. No American had been killed. The United States had not been invaded or attacked. And yet, with no meaningful public debate or congressional authorization, the Biden administration destroyed that country's currency, then removed it from the international banking system, then impoverished its population. Then the administration began seizing the property of people affiliated with that country, without a trial or due process of any kind, without even bothering to explain exactly what crime they had committed.

Tucker could have added that, earlier on Friday, Biden creepily and gleefully whisper-shouted into the microphone a boast about destroying the economy of a country with which we are not at war:

#4  Maybe invest in iodine futures and bomb shelters?
Pandemic Fears Give Way to a Rush for Bomb Shelters
Since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, European anxiety has shifted from Covid to nuclear annihilation. Bunkers, survival guides and iodine pills are flying off the shelves. Giulio Cavicchioli, the owner of Minus Energie in Italy, has gone from working on 50 bunkers in the past 22 years to fielding 500 inquiries in the past two weeks.

#3  This is an economic Pearl Harbor -- of our own president's making

Some historians argue Pearl Harbor was exploited by FDR, to push us into war. Isn't Biden a big admirer of FDR? You don't think...

no, that's crazy shit. Why that would be like saying the Democrats exploited COVID to grab emergency powers! Perish the thought!

Depose this fucker. We Americans will bear the brunt of this "total economic war" that was not debated and not voted on by Congress.

This is an economic Pearl Harbor -- of our own president's making. Depose him before he destroys us

#1  Two economies destroyed in one year. I suppose you can't say he isn't doing something.
