The tariff issue is complicated, so let’s return to the basics…
Everyone knows that wealth disparity is a recipe for civil unrest. The more economically divided populations become, the more their members grow to resent each other.
The destruction of the U.S. middle class, fueled by the deliberate eradication of American manufacturing, has exacerbated our country’s wealth disparity in a massive way. This trend must be reversed. That’s the point of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is one of this era’s best “explainers,” making him uniquely qualified to break the tariff issue down in a way that genuinely makes sense. Today, Lighthizer joins The Tucker Carlson Show to do just that. Click the image below to watch.
Bob Lighthizer tells Tucker:
“Has the system failed? To me, it’s an emphatic yes… We’ve seen a real deterioration in the quality of life of our working-class people… They are poorer, we’ve seen despair increase, we’ve seen devastation. You don’t have to drive very far in America to see devastated communities. All of this is the result of this failed attempt at globalization, this failed attempt at free trade.”
WATCH NOW: Chuck Schumer just gave Republicans a big, beautiful 2026 campaign ad.
The Senate minority leader went on The View yesterday to deride hard-working Americans tired of the government setting their tax dollars on fire.
Does he really think that's a good way to earn the electorate's support?
Donald Trump's election was a victory for the First Amendment, but the battle is not over. U.S. "allies" like Germany and Italy are cracking down on free speech in completely draconian ways, arresting people for daring to state opinions the government doesn't like.
We have to make sure their authoritarian policies never come to America. TCN fights for freedom of expression every day, and we couldn't do it without our members.
