From what I've seen Carlson's (explicit) problem is not with a proportional increase in black American to white American people but with demographic changes due to immigration. I had to really go looking for this sort of content though so it's possible the algorithm is curating what Tucker clips it shows me too heavily for me to find the explicitly anti African American stuff.

this is media literacy 101 lol of course he abstracts blackness when he talks about this stuff. even then, i'm like 99% sure he's done a few routines where he raves about "black culture" but i'm absolutely not going to spend time looking this up

you can review the transcript and see if there's some clever strategy in there but I just see him sincerely saying stuff he thinks is good and smart, "no really this is all under control and this is the system working the way it's supposed to"
the interviewer took it pretty easy on him and he still managed to make himself sound like a monster

quote:

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you a little bit on a personal note. We've been talking about this baby formula shortage nationwide that's been ongoing now for months. You have infants at home. Do you have problems getting a hold of formula?

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Yeah, this is very personal for us. We've got two nine month old children, baby formula is a very big part of our lives. And like millions of Americans, we've been rooting around stores, checking online, getting in touch with relatives in other places where they don't have the same shortages to see what they can send over. And we figured it out. We're all set, at least for now. But I think about what that would be like,if you're a shift worker with two jobs, maybe you don't have a car, you literally don't have the time or the money to be going from store to store. That's why this is such a serious issue and that's why it's getting attention at the highest levels, including, of course, direct involvement by the president.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, and this is going to be an issue Congress takes up this week. I know the President said more action is coming, but this has been ongoing for months. There are supply chain issues already. Then you have the issue with this one plant, Abbott, whistleblower in September, February the recall. It's May. Why has it taken so long and why did the president on Friday seem to say that it was new information to him? He said, if we'd been better mind readers, I guess we could have done something earlier.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Well, look, the administration acted from day one after the recall. Taking steps like creating more flexibility for the WIC program to help rebalance the availability of formula in the States. There are more actions that are underway, including looking at imports. But fundamentally, we are here because a company was not able to guarantee that its plant was safe. And that plant has shut down.

MARGARET BRENNAN: But that is the federal government's job as regulators to help ensure safety of the plant-

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: As regulators, yes. But let's be very clear. This is a capitalist country. The government does not make baby formula, nor should it. Companies make formula. And one of those companies, a company which, by the way, seems to have 40% market share, messed up and is unable to confirm that a plant, a major plant, is safe and free of contamination. So the most important thing to do right now, of course, is to get that plant in Michigan up and running safely. And that's the work that's going on between the company and the FDA. It's got to be safe and it's got to be up and running as soon as possible. But this is the difference between a supply chain problem, in other words, a problem about moving goods around, and a supply problem which has to do with whether they're being produced in the first place. Now, the administration's also been working with other companies to try to surge their production. That's led to an increase in production, which is helping to compensate. But at the end of the day, this plant needs to come back online safely.

MARGARET BRENNAN: And we'll have more on that later in the show. But because I know you're not the FDA commissioner, let me talk to you about the things you are involved more in, which is supply chain and spectrum procurement. How is the administration making sure that those essential ingredients that are actually required for something like formula are actually available?

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: So a shortage of ingredients is not what led to the shutdown of the facility�

MARGARET BRENNAN: No, it is a factor that has led to price. Inflation is one of the factors among many that has been blamed for months of problems with baby formula even before the recall in February.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Right, but America has the productive capacity to create the baby formula that we need. I think what�

MARGARET BRENNAN: But you're bringing it in from Europe right now.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Right. But that's because. Again, we've got four companies making about 90% of the formula in this country which we should probably take a look at-

MARGARET BRENNAN: Is that an oligopoly?

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Yeah, I mean, it's-it's basically a series of monopolies that have added up into enormous market concentration. By the way, this is an issue the president has been talking about in area after area after area, whether we're talking about fertilizer, whether we're talking about other things in our agriculture sector�

MARGARET BRENNAN: There are contracts there too, because this is also part of- I'm using the term food stamp program-

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Right.

MARGARET BRENNAN: But it's a part of a government assistance program.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Which is exactly why, again, from day one after the recall-.

MARGARET BRENNAN: This isn't just a private sector problem is my point. The federal government is directly involved in some of these arrangements.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: A plant shutting down because a company can't assure that it is physically safe from contamination is the responsibility of the company. The responsibility of the regulator is to ensure, as they take steps to get it ready, that it will in fact be safe when it comes back online.

Dumb question: Aside from both being ~~pigs~~ law enforcement, why do the FBI and NYPD always seem to be so closely intertwined/related? In this specific case, the NYPD shield is directly to the left of the FBI logo, between the FBI and CIA, which, :lol:

But the two organizations always seem to be intertwined somehow and I'm just curious why that is?

You're not going to convert Nazis, but even if it's clickbait, just having a rebuttal out there out there could save some kid or impressionable person who doesn't have great critical thinking skills from only seeing the bad poo poo and falling into that trap.

That really doesn't answer my question as to why a local city police force is so tightly associated with the FBI, but I appreciate the idea.

Is this just another side effect from 9/11?
