Tucker: China Is America’s New OPEC, with a Word, They Can Shut Down America’s Economy

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "So, what's going on here? We'll be honest. Joe Biden didn't do all of this. A lot of things are going on here and they're happening all at once. The main driver of this is that over time, we've become completely — through various administrations, both parties — we've become completely dependent on China. The Chinese Communist Party effectively is our new OPEC. With a word, they can shut down our economy. At the same time, the ideologues in the White House are raising energy costs. Just in case we thought maybe we could make up some of the gap of domestic manufacturing, that's impossible with energy costs this high. You need cheap energy in order to have a manufacturing economy. Period. Ask anyone in the business. And then to add to this, there is a labor shortage — once again, the result of long-term sad trends, but that has been dramatically exacerbated by policies from the Biden White House. And that labor shortage is hitting, paradoxically, at exactly the moment when there's an unemployment crisis. That is bizarre and it's scary.”
