Tucker Carlson blasts a 1,000 foot grand slam
Look up the longest home runs in major league baseball history if you're not already familiar with them.
It’s not uncommon for Tucker to crank out 500 footers, and he’s got some in the 600 foot range too. And if you’ve watched him enough, you’ve seen a few in the 700 to 800 foot range. He’s just that good. (He is essentially the new de facto Rush Limbaugh, just with far less time each outing and a different format. He does have video to partially make up for the time shortage.)
On August 29th, however, Tucker probably outdid anything else he’s done, and that’s saying a lot.
In his monologue, Tucker covered what greentard insanity is doing to Europe. Among many points, he mentioned how Germany is now out of firewood, so Germans are heading out into the forests to get it themselves. The show has a clip of wood being mulched, and Tucker mentions that the Germans involved in the work are calling it “biomass”. which is just another left wing euphemism. Tucker smacks down the euphemism, pointing out that “they’re burning wood, as they did during the feudal period”.
If you’re well versed in all things greentard due to the global warming scam, hearing about people burning wood to cook and heat is not new for third world countries, but in Germany???!!! And of course one of the chief mantras of the global warming scam is that carbon dioxide, which is absolutely essential to nearly all plant life on earth, and thus just about all life on earth of any kind, is nevertheless a pollutant. Of course just about all animal life breathes out CO2 as well, so the level of stupid to claim and/or believe that it is a pollutant at anywhere near the trace levels it is now, is pegging the needle on the Dumbometer.
If you actually are dumb enough to believe CO2 is a pollutant below 1,000 ppm (or even up to 1500 ppm), the last thing you want is for people to be burning wood for heating and cooking. It releases more CO2 than coal or natural gas, it also creates smoke since there is no pollution control like there is with a coal or natural gas power plant, and the more wood that is burned the fewer trees you have to absorb the CO2 that you’re so worried about.
So even if you fully buy into the global warming scam, you want people worldwide to have readily available and inexpensive power from “fossil fuels” and/or nuclear and/or hydroelectric, and you never want them burning wood because the fantasy of “green” and “renewable” turns out to be pretty much like flying rainbow unicorns so they have no choice but to burn wood and whatever else they can get their hands on.
Tucker then mentions a Polish man saying that things are even worse than during the communist times, since Polish people are waiting in line for days to buy coal. Then energy rationing in France. In the UK, 70% of restaurants are preparing to close. Energy prices are setting new record highs. Etc., etc.
Germany’s year ahead price for energy is one thing Tucker mentions which is worth another look back. Much like how Obama’s comment years ago to Mitt Romney* about the 80s wanting their foreign policy back, which in context of the past 6 years of left wing claims of “Russia. Russia, Russia” and the past several months since the Russian invasion of Ukraine looks completely brain dead, there were some very short sighted Germans at the UN laughing about Trump’s warning of how bad of an idea it was to be beholden to Russian energy.
Do you suppose those same twits shown above and in the linked video are laughing now??? As natural gas is about 7 times more expensive than last year thanks to Russia restricting and even shutting off the supply to the Nordstream pipeline that feeds Germany.
It’s also worth watching a report from far left wing CBS Evening “News” on this same topic of Trump criticizing German energy decisions with respect to Russia. Watch Trump’s very anti Russia comments in the video in July of 2018, and tell me about the level of stupid required to have kept believing the “Russian collusion” hoax started by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and then maintained fully thereafter for 3 plus years by all left wing media.
As you continue watching Tucker’s masterpiece, another classic Obama flashback that I’ve mentioned before is in order. “Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” Only a complete and total idiot has a plan that he or she knows will make electricity rates skyrocket. Skyrocketing energy rates are like dropping nuclear bombs on the economy, and they literally ruin people’s lives and even kill people. Especially those people in the middle class and the poor (even more so) which the left claims to support.
When you factor in that even if global warming due to man made carbon dioxide emissions is really a threat, but that China’s and India’s CO2 emission increases over the next decade and more will dwarf any reductions we could make such that seriously harming this country and its citizens would not do anything at all to “save the planet”, that plan looks far worse. Educate yourself on how the catastrophic man made global warming scare is a complete scam to make money and control people with increased governmental powers, and there really are no words adequate to describe how stupid it is. The Dumbometer doesn’t go that high.
Tucker goes on to come right out and call global warming a scam, as he mentions all the big time left wingers flying on private jets and Obama buying an oceanfront mansion. There are many more points that I’m not going to list here, but trust that’s it’s worth your time to watch his whole monologue at the link above.
* FYI, the mention of Mitt Romney and his thoughts on Russia that Obama foolishly pounced on back in 2012 is in no way intended to imply any intelligence whatsoever to Romney, nor do I think he is anything other than a complete sleazeball RINO out to score cheap political points wherever and whenever he can.
