>> Tucker: WELCOME TO "TUCKER
CARLSON TONIGHT."
HAPPY MONDAY.
KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE
CURRENT LEADERSHIP CLASS ONE
THING WE CAN BE CERTAIN OF THEY
ALWAYS GO TOO FAR.
THEY CAN’T HELP THEMSELVES.
IN FEBRUARY WHEN RUSSIA INVADED
UKRAINE THERE WAS A CHANCE THAT
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION COULD
TURN THIS INTO A GLOBAL
CATASTROPHE.
THEY PROMISED US THAT WOULD NOT
HAPPEN.
THERE IS NO DESIRE BY THE
PRESIDENT TO SEND TROOPS TO
UKRAINE.
THAT WAS THE WORD FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE.
SHE SAID THE SAME THING THE NEXT
MONTH.
THE MONTH AFTER THAT, SHE SAID
IT AGAIN.
JOE BIDEN DOESN’T HAVE THE
INTENTION OF SENDING U.S. TROOPS
TO UKRAINE JEN PSAKI PLEDGED TO
THE NATION.
WHY KEEP SAYING THE SAME THING
OVER AND OVER?
BECAUSE IT WASN’T TRUE.
THAT’S HOW LYING WORKS.
IT’S NOT BELIEVABLE SO YOU SAY
IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
THE MORE OFTEN THEY ASSERT IT
THE MORE LIKELY IT IS TO NOT BE
TRUE.
THIS WEEKEND THE TRUTH BEGAN TO
COME OUT.
JOE BIDEN’S TOP SURROGATE IN
CONGRESS APPEARED ON CBS NEWS
AND SAID THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN TELLING
US FOR MONTHS AND DEMANDED THAT
THE PENTAGON DEPLOY AMERICAN
TROOPS TO UKRAINE TO FIGHT
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.
>> YOU SAID THE COUNTRY NEEDS TO
TALK ABOUT WHEN IT MIGHT BE
WILLING TO SEND TROOPS TO
UKRAINE.
>> IF VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS SHOWN
US HOW BRUTAL HE CAN BE IS
ALLOWED TO JUST CONTINUE TO
TO MASSACRE CIVILIANS WITHOUT
THE WEST COMING TO HIS AID, I
WORRY THAT WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN NEXT UKRAINE WILL TURN
INTO SYRIA.
THE MORNING PEOPLE CANNOT
TURN -- THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
CANNOT TURN AWAY FROM THIS.
PUTIN WILL ONLY STOP WHEN WE
STOP HIM.
>> Tucker: WITHOUT THE WEST
COMING TO THE AID OF UKRAINE.
THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY USES
AMERICAN ARMS AND IN SOME CASES
LED BY AMERICANS.
THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT IS
ADVISED BY AMERICANS AND THERE
ARE MANY AMERICANS IN UKRAINE
RIGHT NOW DOING THAT.
WHAT HE IS CALLING FOR IS A LAND
WAR WITH RUSSIA.
HE IS A FAITHFUL SPOKESMAN FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION’S POLICIES.
WHEN CHRIS CALLS FOR WAR WITH
RUSSIA HE DOESN’T DO IT
ACCIDENTALLY.
IN THIS CASE THE WHITE HOUSE HAS
NOT DISTANCED HIMSELF FROM WHAT
CHRIS SAID.
WAR WITH RUSSIA IS THE
ADMINISTRATION’S ACTUAL POLICY.
LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANT TO TOP THE GOVERNMENT BY
WANT TO TOP THE GOVERNMENT BY
FORCE AND WANTED THIS SINCE
HILLARY CLINTON LOST THE 2016
RACE.
A HOT WAR WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN
USING AMERICAN TROOPS IS THE
LOGICAL END STAGE OF RUSSIA-GATE
WANT THE WHOLE THING THAT BEGAN
WITH HILLARY CLINTON IS MOVING
TO NUCLEAR WAR.
HOW MANY AMERICANS WOULD DIE
DURING THAT CONFLICT?
IF WE REMOVE VLADIMIR PUTIN WHO
WILL REPLACE HIM AS HEAD OF
RUSSIA IN CHARGE OF 6,000
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
THE NEWS READER ON CBS DID NOT
ASK THE ONE THING YOU WOULD NEED
TO KNOW:
HOW MANY VOTERS WANT WAR WITH
RUSSIA?
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE AMERICAN
POPULATION BELIEVES THAT
UKRAINE’S BORDERS ARE WORTH
DYING FOR?
THAT’S A CENTRAL QUESTION AND WE
KNOW THE ANSWER.
BECAUSE CBS RAN A POLL ON THAT
TOPIC A WEEK AGO AND ASKED
SHOULD THE UNITED STATES SEND
TROOPS TO UKRAINE?
75% OF AMERICANS SAID NO THE
UNITED STATES SHOULD NOT SEND
TROOPS TO UKRAINE.
YET SOMEHOW THE CBS NEWS READER
FORGOT TO MENTION THIS TO CHRIS.
IN WASHINGTON WHAT YOU THINK IS
IRRELEVANT.
OUR FOREIGN POLICY MATTERS OF
LIFE-AND-DEATH ARE MADE BY
PEOPLE WITH NO SKIN IN THE GAME.
THEY FACE NO RISK OF INJURY LIKE
BOLDEN.
YOUR OPINION DOESN’T FACTOR INTO
THE EQUATION.
IF YOU ASKED AMERICAN CITIZENS
WHAT THEY THINK, THEY WOULD TELL
YOU THEIR BORDERS ARE MORE
IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN UKRAINE
BORDERS.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
THEY ARE AMERICANS AND NOT
UKRAINIANS.
THE TOP OF THEIR CONCERN IS NOT
UKRAINE.
THEY FEEL SYMPATHY BUT THEY ARE
NOT BROODING ABOUT UKRAINE
BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT
THEIR OWN ECONOMY, THE COST OF
FOOD, ENERGY AND HOUSING.
THE UNITED STATES IS LOOKING AT
A GRIM ECONOMIC PICTURE.
>> BEFORE YOU PULL OUT THAT
CREDIT CARDS TODAY.
IF YOU DON’T PAY IT OFF IN FULL
YOUR INTEREST RATE WILL JUMP.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE WILL RAISE
RATES TRYING TO THROW COLD WATER
ON UNAWAY INFLATION.
>> EVERY TIME YOU SHOP THE PRICE
AS GONE UP.
>> EVERY AMERICAN HAS SEEN IT
IT:
ELECTRICITY UP 9%.
USED CARS UP 41% AND GASOLINE UP
A BUCK 50 FROM A YEAR AGO.
>> MILK, FLOUR AND SUGAR AND
FRYING OIL TRIPLED IN PRICE.
>> THE HIGHEST INFLATION IN 40
YEARS.
>> Tucker: THE OFFICIAL NUMBERS
BEAR NO RESEMBLANCE TO THE
DAY-TO-DAY REALITY.
EVERYTHING IS MORE EXPENSIVE AND
THAT’S TRUE OF THE BIG THINGS.
WHY?
SIMPLE.
THE DECLINING POWER OF U.S.
CURRENCY CREATED AN
UNPRECEDENTED ASSET BUBBLE.
INVESTORS AROUND THE WORLD ARE
CONVERTING U.S. DOLLARS INTO
OBJECTS THAT BECOME MORE
VALUABLE OVER TIME.
THERE IS NO MYSTERY.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
PUMP TOO MUCH MONEY INTO AN
ECONOMY.
THE MONEY BECOMES WORTH LESS.
WHERE IS THIS GOING?
HOW WILL IT UNFOLD?
NOBODY BELIEVES THE INTEREST
RATE RISE WILL GET INFLATION
UNDER CONTROL.
CONSUMERS WILL RUN OUT OF CASH
TO SPEND.
THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL HAVE
LESS MONEY TO BUY THINGS.
AND PROPERTY TAXES ARE RISING
WITH THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE.
STATE INCOME TAXES ROSE IN NEW
YORK.
THEY ARE GETTING IT FROM BOTH
END.
THAT MEANS THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL
GO BROKE.
AS THEY DO GO BROKE, THEY WILL
BE FORCED TO CURTAIL WHAT THEY
BUY.
IN AN ECONOMY DRIVEN BY CONSUMER
SPENDING THIS IS A SCARY TREND.
WHEN PEOPLE STOP BUYING THINGS
THE CRASH COMES.
YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY WHERE THIS
IS GOING.
EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON
UNDERSTANDS WHERE IT IS GOING.
INSTEAD OF TAKING REAL STEPS TO
FIX IT LIKE STOP WRITING MASSIVE
SPENDING BILLS, THEY ARE TAKING
EVERYTHING THEY CAN, WHILE THERE
STILL IS MONEY.
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURE
DECLARED THAT WE MUST RE-DOUBLE
OUR EFFORTS TO DECARBONIZE OUR
ECONOMY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
BY SPENDING TRILLION DOLLARS ON
SCHEMES OWNED BY THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT.
YOU PASS THE CASH AROUND WHILE
IT STILL EXISTS.
ANOTHER NAME FOR THIS IS
LOOTING.
IT CAN’T GO ON FOREVER BY
DEFINITION.
IF THE ECONOMY TANKS, EVERYTHING
RESETS.
NOT JUST THE ECONOMIC QUESTIONS.
THERE COULD BE SOCIAL AND
POLITICAL VOLATILITY.
OUR CURRENT CONVERSATION CAN
ONLY HAPPEN IN A COUNTRY THAT IS
RICH.
ONCE IT IS NOT RICH EVERYTHING
CHANGES.
THAT’S YET LEADERS ARE MORE
JUMPY AND MORE DETERMINED TO
MOVE THE CONVERSATION AWAY FROM
ECONOMICS AND TOWARDS RACE.
THEY DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM
THEMSELVES.
THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
SINCE 2008 AND 2009 THE LEADERS
HAVE TOLD US THE CENTRAL DIVIDE
IN AMERICA, THE ORIGINAL SIN IS
RACE.
AT THE MOMENT THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT BAILED OUT WALL
STREET, NOT A POPULAR MOVE, USE
OF THE TERMS RACISM IN THE
"WASHINGTON POST" AND "NEW YORK
TIMES" AND "USA TODAY" JUMPED BY
700%.
YOU HAVE PROBLEMS AND WHITE MEN
CAUSED THOSE PROBLEMS.
THE WHITE GUYS TOOK ALL OF THE
MONEY AND THE PERKS FOR
THEMSELVES.
YOU HEAR THAT INCLUDING FROM JOE
BIDEN.
IT’S A LIE.
WHITE MEN ARE NOT EVEN CLOSEST
TO THE RICHEST GROUP IN THE
UNITED STATES.
CHINESE-AMERICANS AND OTHERS
HAVE HIGHER HOUSEHOLD INCOMES
THAN WHITE HOUSE.
THIS STORY IS NOT EVEN TRUE.
THE FAULT LINE IN AMERICA LIFE
IS NOT COLOR.
IT’S MONEY.
THE REAL PROBLEM IS NOT RACISM,
IT’S WEALTH DISTRIBUTION.
A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE BECOME
RICHER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN
HISTORY AND THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY IS STAGNANT.
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT DRIVE
OUT 20 MILES FROM THE CITY’S
CENTER AND SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE
DOING.
IF THE POPULATION IT’S ECONOMIC
AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
RACISM OR TRANSGENDER, THE
POPULATION WOULD BE MAD.
JOE BIDEN DOESN’T WANT YOU TO
THINK ABOUT ECONOMICS.
THEY WOULD RATHER YOU WOULD
WORRY ABOUT UKRAINE.
THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARE
PUTIN’S FAULT.
WATCH JOE BIDEN.
>> I AM DOING EVERYTHING WITHIN
MY POWER TO BRING DOWN THE BRICE
AND ADDRESS THE PUTIN PRICE
HIKE.
HE MADE PROGRESS SINCE MARCH.
THE FAMILY BUDGET AND ABILITY TO
FILL UP YOUR TANK SHOULD HEDGE
ON WHETHER A DICTATOR DECLARES
WAR AND COMMITS GENOCIDE A HALF
A WORLD AWAY.
>> Tucker: THIS IS THE LAST
DESPERATE TALKING POINT.
PUTIN DID IT!
IT’S RIDICULOUS.
THIS CHART SHOWS THE MEASURES
EVER INFLATION GOING BACK TO
2011 -- OF.
ALL OF THOSE MEASURES BEGAN
SPIKE
SPIKEING IN 2021 WHEN JOE BIDEN
TOOK OFFICE.
HE COULD CLAIM THE SPIKE STARTED
FEBRUARY BUT THING GOT SO
OBVIOUS, ECONOMIC DECLINE YOU
CAN’T HIDE BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL
IT EVERY DAY.
THE MEDIA ARE BEGINNING TO STOP
DEFENDING HIM.
>> THE WHITE HOUSE SAID THE
PRICES ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE OF
PUTIN’S PRICE HIKE.
PRICES STARTED SPIKING WELL
BEFORE THE WAR IN UKRAINE BEGAN.
>> EVERY TIME WE TALK ABOUT GAS
PRICES, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS
IT’S PUTIN’S PRICE HIKE TRYING
TO BLAME THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT.
BUT AS POLAND SUGGESTS THIS
PRESIDENT WILL TAKE A LOT OF THE
BLAME.
>> MOST AMERICANS ARE NOT BUYING
THIS.
>> INFLATION WAS A MAJOR CONCERN
BEFORE PUTIN’S INVASION.
>> Tucker: NO ONE IS BUYING IT.
EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE MOST
SIMPLE PRINCIPLE IN ECONOMIC:
SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
IF YOU CREATE MORE MONEY, THE
MONEY LOSES ITS VALUE OBVIOUSLY.
YET THIS ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES
SPENDING EVEN MORE MONEY ON
A SCALE THIS COUNTRY HAS NEVER
SEEN.
THE FOUNDER OF FED-EX SUMMED UP THIS WAY.
THIS WAY.
IF WE PASSED BUILD BACK BETTER
WE WILL HAVE MORE INFLATION.
JOE BIDEN MAY BE THE ONLY PERSON
WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND IT.
HE GETS A PASS BECAUSE IN JOE
BIDEN’S HEAD HE IS FAR AHEAD.
YESTERDAY BIDEN WAS TALKING ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY AND WHEN
ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY AND WHEN
A STAFFER IS AN EASTER BUNNY
COSTUME LED HIM AWAY.
THIS IS HOW BAD IT IS. FROM LAST WEEK, WATCH.
FROM LAST WEEK, WATCH.
>> NOT A SINGLE THING AMERICA
CAN’T DO WHEN WE DO IT TOGETHER
AS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
>> ♪ ♪
>> [APPLAUDING].
>> Tucker: SHAKING IMAGINARY
HANDS.
THE WHITE HOUSE IN SPRING OF
2022, JOE BIDEN IS NOT RUNNING
IT.
THEY DON’T CARE IF YOU CAN
AFFORD DINNER OUT WITH YOUR KIDS
OR IN THE WAR WITH RUSSIA CAUSES
THE DESTRUCTION OF A POPULATION.
THEY CARRY ABOUT THEORIYS AND
NOT REALITY.
IMPROVING THE LIFE OF AMERICANS
DOESN’TERATE ON THEIR SCALE OF
CONCERNS.
-- DOESN’T RATE.
THEY HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE FOR
A WHILE AND THAT’S SUSTAINABLE
AS LONG AS EVERYONE IS GETTING
A CHECK AND HAS ENOUGH MONEY.
THE SECOND THE ECONOMY TURNS
SOUTH THE CALCULATION CHANGES
COMPLETELY
COMPLETELY.
EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT IN
A COUNTRY THAT BELIEVES IT IS
BECOMING POOR.
THE SHORT TERM EFFECT IS THE
PEACEFUL REMOVING BY VOTING.
THIS NOVEMBER LIBERALISM WILL BE
REVEALED AS THE JOKE IT IS.
THE THING TO WORRY ABOUT IS NOT
PUBLIC OPINION.
NOBODY LIKES THIS.
THE THING TO WORRY ABOUT RIGHT
NOW IS VOTING.
THE MECHANICS OF VOTING.
IF THE PUBLIC IS ALLOWED TO
