The Truth Caviar Show Episode 7: Tucker Carlson, Selfish Ruling Class, America's Caste System

In 2016, a vulgar, ignorant, bombastic Orange Man with a funky hairstyle was elected President of the United States. Why did that happen? In his book, "Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution," Tucker Carlson ponders and answers that question.

Contrary to the nonstop screaming of conspiracies from America's ruling class, Trump didn't win because of fake news or Russia-collusion; he didn't win because he's a racist, sexist, or a homophobe; he didn't win because of the Access Hollywood tape; he didn't win because of his gold jet or helicopter; nor because mouth-breathers in the Rust Belt didn't know what was best for them. Americans elected Donald Trump because they wanted to send a loud and clear message to our selfish ruling class: you have failed us.

It’s not that they necessarily liked Trump. Although some did. It’s that they overlooked many of his negatives because the establishment---from the Clintons to the Bushes to the Obamas to the Pelosis to the McConnells---let them and the country down. And it’s not just politicians. It’s the technocrats, the deep state bureaucrats, the woke "capitalists"---the Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world---and the cultural elites who look down and scoff at them.

When a populist is elected, it’s a warning to the ruling class that something is wrong. You aren’t doing a good job for the people. That’s how they should have reacted. Instead, they called American people racists, sexists, fascists, homophobes, clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, rubes, etc. They didn't spend a single second reflecting, taking responsibility, or learning from Trump's election. They doubled down on their neglect and failures. Our elites are fools, unaware that they are in charge of a sinking ship. Ignore the people long enough and something awful will happen. An oligarchy pretending to be a constitutional republic will not endure.

We discuss the issues Tucker raises in the book and their implications for America, including the decline of the middle class and the American dream, the loss of manufacturing, the economic stratification of American society, the elite monoculture that's insulated and disconnected from the rest of America, feminism's war on men, and much more.
