Tucker Carlson: Democrats create problems and their solutions empower them

Fox News host Tucker Carlson examines the surge in violence nationwide and forecasts what President Biden will and won't say during his address on the issue this week.

Here’s the formula: The more self-evidently absurd a statement is, the more viciously they attack anyone who points out that it’s untrue, who dissents. "Trans women are women!" "January sixth was a racist insurrection!" "Defund the police!" It’s childish, it’s all so ridiculous and no sane person believes a word of it. But until the fever of the moment passes, most people who have no power feel obligated to play along with whatever orthodoxy it is until reality re-emerges, as inevitably it does because you can’t beat nature. That may be happening now. The White House announced today that, on Wednesday, Biden will outline a new plan to fight rising crime rates that are skyrocketing and body counts that accompany them. We haven’t seen the plan, we can’t know what’s in it, the White House won’t tell us. But we have two fairly informed guesses. First, there will be no apologies.  You won’t hear Joe Biden beg forgiveness from the thousands of families whose loved ones have been killed by the Democratic Party’s nihilistic embrace of crime and disorder. Looting is reparations, you go looters! They should apologize for that, they never will. The leftist ideology destroyed America’s cities but they will never under any circumstances admit it. Instead, they’ll blame you, that’s guaranteed.
