Many on this board enjoy Tucker's commentary. I'm really curious if that maintains with this clip. He doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about the Baby Boomers and their role in the economy.

Also, I just realized Tucker is in Gen X.

(Some NSFW language)

He's not necessarily wrong.

I'm not much of a Tucker fan these days, but I think he's right. The baby boomers were self-serving at the expense of the future generations. Not all of them, but the ones in the position to shape policy certainly.

As a Boomer, I agree the boomer political ruling class and bureaucrats screwed us all over big time. Self serving bastages. I think of the hippies in the 60's when I was just a kid working on my grandparents farm every summer. Those f'd up loons talked much about utopia. Those who rose to political influence sure did create their own utopia. You'll find most of them in the demwit party. They enriched themselves while promising much to the lower economic class. They've sucked much from the middle class to obtain their objectives.

Not all boomers were in on this chit. In fact, some of you younger generation members helped keep their shenanigans going. Some of you made fun of the "Tea Party" who was trying to preserve our treasure for you dummies. And now MAGA who is trying to turn this big ship around.

I've worked all my life since age 6 on the farm and in the hot, dusty cotton fields in the RGV. I'm still working. I'll be working til I die. I can only hope that this country gets behind Trump and those that follow in his footsteps. This has been the best opportunity, in my lifetime, to get back to sanity and common sense. You may not like some of the things he is doing but I believe it's mainly because you don't understand it. We are going back into territory we have not seen in 50+ years. Please get behind him and give support. The outcome won't be utopian, but will open doors to the American dream. Be vigilant. Evil, self-serving marxists are aplenty. Take them the f out.

Boomers

Even though it's a little bit stereotyping which isn't true it is true in the journal consensus that the boomers were extremely pompous and arrogant and their self-centered they're the ones to set up I'm going to rebel against my parents I'm going to go do sex drugs and rock and roll I'm going to embrace Marxism and they had children and they let the children do their own things and that's why the generation x the X-Men were so badass in war

I do agree on paper where is wealthy as we have ever been yet our youth are sub 30 years old if they are so broke financially. A lot of boomers have been paid off in black belt for riches for their 30 pieces of silver as her kids and their grandchildren are getting sex change operations are going to public schools and me and brainwashed into Marxism and godlessness

I agree in principle but you wanna clean that post up a little bit in the morning? That's a tough read.

He has his own language. You gotta take some words out then piece things back together the best you can to figure out what the f he's saying.

To be fair, it was not the boomers who overspent on Vietnam and other stupid stuff and then abandoned the gold standard in 1971. The so-called greatest generation did.

You obviously don't speak "Daddy"

Don't feel bad. It takes awhile

Tucker still gets some things right. An example:

Each dot on this map represents a residential, multifamily or commercial property flagged by DHS as linked to Asian Transnational Organized Crime.

In my view, this map radically underestimates the scale of control Chinese drug and human trafficking cartels have in Maine. pic.twitter.com/O7JOt61Ydy

And frankly I think the baby boomer generation, which begat us the political/fiscal policies of the 1990's-2016 at least, is/was politically irresponsible, at best. Tucker calling things out as he see's them is better than 99% of what is derisively called the MSM.

You summed it up nicely from my perspective. It was not easy to be conservative growing up in the 60's, especially if you, or your family, were in the military.

I've been enjoying him less and less since about the election. Seems like he's mentally slipping a bit and become a crazy conspiratorialist.

Get a job losers. Signed Gen X.

I wonder what his stance is on Abbot and the THC bill fiasco?

To be fair the "Boomers" did none of that.........the POLITICIANS that were in office during that time did ALL of that. I will admit though that a lot of "boomers" thought it wise to procreat. They might have thought a little longer.

I wonder how many of these "Gen X folks" turned down that new Mustang their folks gave them when they turned 16?

This is how you divide a nation. Create divides within the populace based on anything and everything. Just create the divide. Destroy unity.

Pretty soon too many people see the "enemy" as their neighbor, their coworkers, their classmates rather than the real enemy who is stoking the divisions. Mission accomplished.

It's sad to see so many of you fall into the trap.

Exactly. The US got involved somewhere around 61. It all escalated in 65 and ended in 75. I was 11 years old in in 61 and 25 in 75. Nice to know that I had the power then to control our extent of involvement in that useless endeavor. The country lost 53K plus kids in a ill concieved effort that changed absolutely nothing except enrich the likes of the Johnson's etal..........and it was all my, a Boomer, fault.

I don't disagree with the principle behind your post but it seems you're insinuating Tucker is a pawn of the enemy. Is that what you're saying?

Given his takes on Iran and Israel, comments about hating Trump, etc it's not exactly a difficult conclusion to come to

Gen Xer here. I was not offered a new Mustang when I turned 16. "Wanna car?" asked my dad. "Get a job,"

I don't remember a single new car in the HS parking lot in 1984, tbh.

We gave my kids used cars when they turned 16 (still no new Mustang). But there sure were a lot of new cars in their HS lot.

I don't know about Tucker. Always enjoyed his show on Fox. He seems different now days.

I am concerned about the divisions I mentioned though. Not just here on Texags. I see it elsewhere in life as well.

[If you continue to taunt others you will earn a ban -- Staff]

Political talk shows, podcasts, speaking circuit etc., is a hundreds of millions of dollars industry whose revenue is largely based on spreading and feeding interests in conspiracy theories and 'us vs them' blame games (e.g, us vs the other political party, us vs foreigners, us vs another generation, us vs the other sex, us vs another religion, etc.).

Tucker Carlson is one of the people who has gotten immensely wealthy in that industry. This is how he makes his money. If you happen to agree with a particular conspiracy or blame game from a political pundit or simply an actual politician, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I recommend to stay self-aware of what is always actually behind the Wizard of Oz curtain. This is a business for these people.

For the record, I am Gen X

Good point. Much of what started this slide was done by people like LBJ. Buying votes with our treasure really escalated under him. Also, I was 13 when Nixon decided to open up China. I questioned it then and still do. Reform within their country should have taken place before they were given a leg up.

The Boomers have already been dividing the country for decades - into rich and poor. If you are "poor" they label you as "lazy" and give you sanctimonious advice to get moving and hustle "like we did in the 70s/80s". One of their favorite taunts is "go do HVAC/plumbing! I did that and made my millions working with my hands!". All the while when they themselves have been instrumental in sending out all opportunities to foreign countries just so they can be a stinking buck. All that matters to them is their 401k and their IRA. The futures of their kids and grand kids mean nothing.
Boomers sold us all out.

Follow the problems, and it's hard not to find the Boomers at the root of all the problems.

there is no doubt where the blame goes for pretty much all that ails this country. boomers have had power and been unwilling to relinquish it like no other generation before it. they have made all political and financial decisions for this country for the last 50 years. they have lived high in the hog and left future generations a bill that will cripple them for generation to come.

Tucker, like all social media/talking-heads, played perfectly to his demo while at Fox, and he did it better than most. But now that he's not shackled to having to only say things that appease that group, thanks to being paid by a company (Fox) whose got tons of geriatric viewers, he can be truer to himself. More power to him, and bonus points for going after the generation that needs to be seen in a non-rose-colored glass they'd always placed on everyone else.

[Personal attacks are out of bounds -- Staff]

Did not know that LBJ and Nixon were boomers. Learn somthing every day. /s

I missed the boat blaming the greatest generation, too busy chasing a paycheck.

Blame Rubin and Hoffman. Activism brought in the liberal white female and males that went along to get some of that LWF. The money takers had the rubes they needed then. they broke patriotism.
damn hippies.

Now the pols/media have found a way to separate us by generations. Like th alphabet mafia. Break it all down and group all the victims together.

This. The correct answer is that ALL prior generations are responsible. Everyone wants the govt to do their bidding and nobody wants to take a haircut. My dad (boomer) said it when he laughs that I'm screwed and will never get SS…but when asked if he would end it he says, no he's paid into it his whole life. So he admits it's screwing over his children and his grandchildren but in his mind he's owed by people who weren't even alive when those decisions were made. Somebody is going to have to pay for the decades of can-kicking. Whenever we catch up to the can, whichever generation is in control at the time just gives it another kick.

At some point this game will end by economic reality. What scares me most is that this scenario could be the perfect opportunity for radical left wing ideas. I read that something like 65% of ages 18-29 have a favorable or better view of socialism. An economic crisis with the new demographic changes and their ideological proclivities all but assures that we'll give socialism a try. I sure hope I'm wrong…

As a former fan of his show, I can say with full confidence that Tucker has gone off the deep end and fallen into looney tunes land.
