tucker carlson. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ back ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome. this is -- the largest employer in the world. nothing comes close: google, amazon, the commonest party of china. how many people work for the united states government? there are more than 100 countries around the world whose total populations, every man, woman, and child, who are

smaller than our federal workforce. entire countries. in other words, the u.s. government is astoundingly large, truly gargantuan. what do all those people that work there every day do? many aren't sure, including employees themselves. fundamentally, the federal government is a mystery, and like the universe, it goes on forever. the good news is every once in a while, our government does something we can understand. that happened recently when joe biden -- $750 billion piece of legislation, the inflation reduction act. what does it do? are you slow? the answer is in the name. the inflation reduction act is an act that reduces inflation.

voters say it is the problem that they worry about most: inflation. that's how things work in washington. you identify a law and make something illegal. if it's also so hot, just have congress write a law banning high temperatures. congress has decided to bring that approach to inflation. you can imagine how terrifying it would be seeing it reduced by our all powerful. "wait, you passed a inflation reduction act? i surrender." it's the premise of this act anyway, but people are wondering how it's still going to work. pillory bond yesterday caught up

with senator joe manchin from west virginia, the single man whose vote made this possible. will it really reduce inflation, she asks? here is how joe manchin responded. >> comes to inflation, is it deflating to call this the inflation reduction act when it will not make everyday -- >> will immediately it's not because -- that switch on and off. >> it immediately won't make anything cheaper to buy. but, joe manchin didn't deny that he's bothered by it. the response was "why would it?" because you told us it would, and then you printed another $750 billion of fake money, which happens to cause historic inflation in the first place.

what is the upside? joe manchin didn't say. this congressperson couldn't explain it either. >> those who have been blaming president biden -- we are moving things in the right direction already. >> how can we do work on? >> next question. >> i will take anything that smacked [laughter] what parts of the inflation reduction act will reduce it? next question. he actually said that out loud. in other words, you caught me lying, and i don't care hate to break this to you, but the inflation reduction act is a classic example of misinformation. it's like buying shampoo and finding out the hard way that it's drain cleaner.

the thing we can learn from this inflation reduction act is that washington -- nothing at all. the empire entered its postmodern phase where -- our leaders, and observable reality. the eternal happiness act commands -- because we are long overdue for washington to ban sadness -- before this bill was thought about by joe biden. he does not get too caught up in this, is presumably post-literate. here's his most recent legislative triumph. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> okay, here we go. you might as well put a sign on his desk saying "this guy has no idea what he's doing right now. the thousand-yard stare was the giveaway. looked more shell-shocked than biden jested he will be happy to know that this includes $3 billion for the new york postal service to buy new trucks, so, why would your mailman need an electric mail truck? china is getting even richer -- then, what do you make? then, there's over $3 billion allocated to block grants. but now, it's in the justice business. environmental justice,

$16 billion in this legislation. it leaves the rest of us wondering what this is. according to the bill, and we are quoting him, he means the engagement of disadvantaged communities -- that advisory workshop in other public processes. confusing, but also expensive. epa alone gets more than $40 billion for this bill, including more than $30 billion for disadvantaged communities. what he really means is that the epa will spread more -- spend more on this. the biden white house is not sick of it, they are all in. take down my currently stands at

$10 million. this is a lot of. everything hangs on definition. it would be the epa's administer, a guy called michael regan. never had a job in his life. never work for -- but, he does have a -- he has priorities. "everything i do with the epa's through the lens of environmental justice --" air quality, land quality, and those protecting -- and those who "have not been at the table for decades." so, this is about spreading -- as everything they do is. they call it equity. it's not about protecting the environment. if you are wondering how things are just doing, take a close look. is anyone monitoring the

chemicals in our water? no. we are busy conducting workshops for billions of dollars for just the just communities. that might not be helping the environment, but it's not reducing inflation -- inflation reduction is not the same as protecting -- the 81 million who voted for him. that's what it's really about: rewarding his voters. they've done very well on this bill is that -- $25 million for the government accountability office for the economic, social, and environmental impacts. it also calls for $10 million to be spent on equity commissions. not since the german government 80 years ago has any government -- piece of genetics. that's true, and yet no one

notices it for some reason. $2 billion for the general services administration. the bureau of indian affairs gets $220 million. it's not just bureaucrats who are getting paid, there are millions of democrats -- joe biden donors! [laughs] private equity now? no, you don't get anything. biden described it yesterday. >> the inflation reduction act, $369 billion -- >> president biden: de inflation reduction act, $369 billion, the most progressive inflation act ever, ever, ever. it will offer working families thousands of dollars of savings to provide rebates to clients.

rooftop, solar, electric, stove. >> you watch that and realize "maybe, they are going to run him again" because he doesn't exist: he is merely a conduit through which they change america. may seem embarrassing to you, but -- what i think of all this -- will to do this to a guy -- but if you are trying to change the country really fast -- a nonprofit called "rewiring america" figuring how much money americans are eligible to receive from the inflation reduction act. rewiring america, a married couple once traveled to san francisco -- $120,000, would

be eligible for nearly $1,200,000. that same group, that same family of three -- youngstown, ohio, -- will be able to afford $81 in tax credits. okay class wages will be eligible for more savings only if they go out and spend thousands of dollars -- water heaters or electric stove or a clothes dryer. the differences between these -- going to increase inflation. this is the same thing that happened with college tuition. the government subsidized. intuition! that's how it started. electric vehicle manufacturers are now raising the price of

this car. $7,500 tax credit included, but i have that inflation reduction act say that task it was $7200 purchase. ford and gm -- at similar rates. that the government pays you back -- and that product -- goes with the subsidy. last week, ford announced price hikes. for most of the lineup, f-150 electric vehicles. biden, $250 -- so what is that? they don't want to answer the question because the only potential inflationary action is tax increases, probably not a

good idea or in the recession. our government is not willing to cut spending so the idea is to take money from you. print all the money you want to because you hold the reserve currency, and then when inflation goes up, you just try to pull it out through taxation. that's modern monetary theory, look it up. the congressional budget office, this costs the middle class $20 million -- $20 billion a year in tax revenue. 51% to taxpayers making 40-$50,000 will see a tax increase. 92% of americans -- and 97% between 100-$200,000 will also see a tax increase. if you're making $100 -- $100,000 in virginia, you are not rich. turns out that biden was lying, and that no one under $450,000 a

year -- >> president biden: i promise that no one, let me emphasize it, no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. [applause] >> tucker: not a penny more! you can't blame the guy. he's just a mannequin. one group of americans will not pay more: biden donors, the richest people in the country. thanks to the democratic party's hedge fund support, and they have a lot of that, private equity -- still carried into this loophole in our tax code. that means that people who work in finance, they are able to report their income with interest, and pay half of the taxes that you do. no one can defend this policy. it's indefensible.

they are embarrassed of it. it's a scam. it remains in our tax code. in case the message wasn't clear -- gives the irs another $80 billion, 87,000 new auditors. what about the ones that are not new auditors at the irs -- the question down like thing is if the tax code just keeps getting more unfair every year, you have to hire armed goons to make people pay. 7,000 new armed irs agents. the irs currently has about 78,000 total, so this bill will make the irs larger than the army of the nations of italy, philippines, the u.k. thanks, joe manchin.

we are sure what we will be doing, but we have this irs training video accounts are also law enforcement officers, which is interesting because a lot of special agents -- we get to do the same things like other law enforcement officers do. >> we teach them defensive tactics to defend themselves and protecting others as well. not only can they analyze records, but they also have that -- component. >> in an actual democracy, irs agents are taught to be polite, but under joe biden, irs agents are taught in quotes to shoot." how is that not the war population of a country? represents the state of florida, when a few people who noticed this and try to disarm the irs.

it does sound like a war. >> [laughs] sounds like joe biden's mission for america isn't armed irs in an electric car on his antiracist road somewhere, and the lack of self-awareness is so pronounced that these biden government officials are making liz cheney look -- you can't your way skinny, drink yourself sober, and can't spend your way out of inflation, which is probably why every democrat senator from joe manchin and bernie sanders is saying this won't reduce inflation. this will do dangerous things. that $25 million you mentioned through the government accountability office exists to ensure that every dollar of this three quarters of a trillion dollars is spent to advance the left's version of equity. that means all of it ends up in the same place under the same

circumstances. the american people wanted cheap gas and safe streets and a secure border, but instead, we have a climate core, and a bunch of bureaucrats yelling at cops and farmers, calling them racist. how is that good for our country? >> we have carried over interest in the tax system. what's wrong with joe manchin? do you have any idea? >> if you were wanting to forcibly take tax dollars from regular americans while giving the richest attacks, he would probably flood the irs. joe manchin has -- the destruction of our country. he owns this decision, but the question is when republicans get power we don't decrease spending, but we put something for colorblindness in every bill. we have to put in every bill that this government can never treat people differently based on the color of their skin.

>> that was the lesson from world war ii. we don't care what your genetics are, lies that a factor in hiring? thank you for coming on. >> thank you, talker. >> the thing about democracies it's great. liz cheney is a defender of democracy, but democracy kicked back at her hard last night. she compared herself to abraham lincoln. we will have a gloat-athon over the defeat of liz cheney.

go so, liz cheney is from northern virginia, and somehow found out that the only other member of congress -- from wyoming. it is interesting is -- she decided to spend her time in congress representing something called democracy. >> everyone of us who has sworn the oath must act to prevent the unraveling of our democracy. >> on -- understanding the

perils of our democracy. >> democracy is fragile. democracy is fragile. democracy only survives if citizens are willing to defend it. >> it turns out that democracy is like the boyfriend you have in another city: utah come up a lot and don't want him to show up if you can even meet him, but i think democracy showed up in wyoming. that was the sink's -- that was the biggest single defeat of an incumbent -- what's funny is that over at cnn, they are still defending democracy, but they have no idea what it is. turns out, democracy means "you shut up and submit tool of the people have not been elected, and in the case of liz cheney --

and for her, it's that people she represents -- don't like her. >> on wyoming, and what happens there, could add to a trend. that is election deniers winning primaries around the nation. >> that is -- january 6th. [laughter] >> when voters reject the candidate that cnn like, the voters vote, which is of course, the core ritual of democracy. when they do that, it's a threat to democracy. definitively in wyoming, that's the greatest threat to democracy since the civil war. she should know that technically -- >> the great and original champion of our party was defeated in the elections for the senate and --

where he won the most important election of all. he defined our obligation as americans for all of history. [laughter] >> lincoln logs, i am lincoln. another sad rich lady narcissism trip. you have to wonder about -- and all of this. for that, we go to a much smarter man, he joins us tonight. professor, thank you so much for coming on. do you think that when elections don't go the way cnn wants them to that that -- >> they have a special term for it: democracy -- darkness. the civil war, there is insurrection because there. i don't think they believe in democracy, but this is kind of a riddle -- wrapped in a mystery.

she voted 93% in her two terms with a trump agenda, which catapulted her on that first term -- third ranking republican, we support -- for donald trump. then, that's why they put her number three. has four years, three years to see what donald trump was. she knew his strength less -- s -- she knew his strengths and weaknesses and then rub a trump wave. to be in company with or lauded by the same people who come into thousand 6-2008, destroyed dick cheney's name, that he was rendered a mazi -- and how they could associate with those people. he left office with a lower

rating as vice president than donald trump is. -- dan donald trump did. they destroyed him. if you think it was his personality that turned around, he would think she would support somebody like this, who has embodied the same agenda -- 93% in her career. can have the agenda you can broach to third ranking -- say you were going to support him. i think justice trump and that mega -- for january 6th, was going to be on the cutting edge of destruction of donald trump, but the more people in the bunker committing that she was vice chair -- and the lack of examination, and some disturbing details, they started to ask questions. it's kind of like the greeks said, who whenever the gods --

whoever they want to destroy they then praise, so she double down and waited, they take to code examples and they think that the washington -- is an influence, finally will convince these people, and they get radical, then end up -- that's a cardinal rule in american politics: never compare yourself to abraham lincoln. obama did when he started a campaign in springfield, and it was laughable, but it's not just lincoln -- but in the wilderness campaign. it's tragic in a way, but it's happened to a lot of people. >> turns out, american voters are harder to deal with them iraqi civilians. you have to obey them! it's so great. liz cheney day at my house. great to see you. >> thank you. >> turns of many of the illegal
