Tucker Carlson goes full Alinsky
on McKinsey for outsourcing
manufacturing to China

Tucker had one of the minions of the Globalists who want to turn the world into one big city. Outsourcing our jobs to countries where things can be made cheaper has not been an exercise in fair trade. The Chinese routinely use slave labor, other countries pay workers pennies on the dollar, so the playing field isn't level. I'm sure some healthy competition in our markets is ultimately beneficial but people like Peter Walker only view success in terms of $$. Other factors, like redundancies, national security, energy independence, security, take a back seat to profit. COVID has opened our eyes indeed-I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for goods that say MADE IN THE USA. Not at all.

It would be interesting to list the $$$ of campaign contributions made by McKinsey & Company and to whom they went for the period of time M&C made outsourcing to China their primary business practice. Republicans and Democrats alike. Whom are they? What $$$ did they receive? Then list the $$$ of campaign contributions and to whom they went for those who made outsourcing to the Asian subcontinent. Republicans and Democrats alike. Whom are they? What $$$ did they receive?

People demand lower prices at the checkout and higher returns on their 401Ks. Couple that with ever increasing costly regulations, lawsuits and taxes, its no surprise that corporations would meet the customers demands by ditching the taxes, regulations and higher wages. Unfortunately, politicians see corporations as piggy banks to raid for political gain.

The interview was unfair. Asking a consultant on trade and insurance what they would say to Chinese families locked in their apartments to starve is unreasonable and insulting. Implying that his answer attempting to describe how mainland Chinese people "are wired" was referring to genetics is another cheap shot. It is possible to have to a reasonable debate about free trade versus eco-nationalism. It is possible to have a serious conversation about what can and should be done when disapprove of another country's internal policies. And it is absolutely essential that we see the PCR clearly and understand the need to limit our interdependence with them and manage the threats posed by them. None of that happened in this interview.

Did China take our jobs or did our politicians and our voters drive manufacturing to China? For the past 60 years our federal and blue state governments have been imposing more costs of doing business on US companies, with regulations ranging from air, water and recycling to hiring practices, termination, labor costs, taxss and product liability. Even now, the polls are showing that the candidate who wants to eliminate fossil fuels, reimpose massive business taxes, a $15 minimum wage and force the socialist Green New Deal on all aspects of our lives is leading President Trump by a surprising margin. So, where would you want to locate your business? That American companies paid McKinsey enormous fees to recommend the obvious just shows how afraid senior management is in making common sense decisions. Blame McKinse, not our over regulated, over taxed and anti business country. Take some more selfies and vote to stop fracking, pipelines, refineries, factories and the ability of employers to set wages and benefits.

This was a remarkable show. Tucker, VDH, and Rush are three media-types who every day nail progressive Commicrat efforts to destroy America. --Vets for Trump 2020

Outsourcing to China socialized much of the cost. Companies get to recognize the profits and taxpayers pay a slice of the costs. When you trade with a country that plays by different rules you subject your people to the impact of their rules. If they use slavery your people are paid like slaves if they want to compete. I reserve the right to have a better country where a worker can attain a real fair and free market wage. Similarly if I believe that certain environmental safeguards are the right thing to do why would I duck the costs of those safeguards by outsourcing the damage to the environment and danger to people?

My opinion, #5, is that government regs and unions drove manufacturing out of this country. We had thriving industry before those factors took their toll.

There are many things which we are now beginning to see clearly and with a SOBER mindset that our eyes and minds only recently seemed to become aware of, and that is how the many policies which threaten out NATIONAL SECURITY have not been challenged. Our "sovereign" national border is and has been unsecure for a very long time, and unskilled workers have been able to infiltrate our country and take jobs and welfare money set aside for our own CITIZENS. This creates a situation where more of our budget goes towards this instead of other areas of concern. There is RAMPANT political corruption of many of our politicians to COVER UP their corruption in taking money from foreign interests to send business to cheaper labor markets which costs U.S. jobs and doesn't require businesses to pay for American workers pensions of heath care and which pumps up profits to the stockholders and eventually 401ks. To those who are dependent upon certain maintenance medications or other important prescription medicines, we are particularly VULNERABLE. In only a few weeks, we have had to create nearly 4 TRILLION dollars out of thin air, which is likely to create inflation and make our money worth less which further hurts our country, while the demonrat socialists get money totally UNRELATED to stopping the Corona Virus. All because of a pandemic which has brought us back to our senses as to what is REALLY important, how important things that really matter are, and how many crapweasels there are that need to be removed in local, state and national political posts who are tyrannical. Praying for an awakening of a strong back lash against this that will set our nation back on a sound footing before it is too late and the corrupt keep trying to keep its citizens over a barrel.

I don't know which philosopher said it, but it has proven true: ''He who gives people what they want will be successful!'' Admit it: People want cheap stuff and more money in their pocket. You can blame the people who gave them what they wanted, but that is shifting the blame. Now, maybe people will rethink some choices, but will still shop for the lowest prices...

And yet the unions still mostly support the Democrats.

Tucker is on a serious ROLL...he is devastating the Communists, here and abroad! Side Note: ...McKinsey was following orthodox classical economics as first articulated by David Ricardo, who died in 1823 and therefore is not available for television interviews." BUT he is still voting in all Elections for the Democrap of the day!

The McKinsey guy showed why they are a professional consulting firm. The McKinsey guy never took Tucker's baiting, instead changing the charges to rational answers, addressing the problems, and ignoring the emotions of Tuckers attacks. The McKinsey guy was very professional. At the same time, McKinsey has had its failures, some they caused, some their clients caused, some both of them caused. And McKinsey will charge you. It's up to you to decide if they are worth it, certainly they think they are. And does McKinsey really know about all these things they are hired to do? No, they don't.

I enjoy Tucker Carlson so much when I am able to catch a broadcast. My cable company doesn't provide that channel. When I see a show, it will be on YouTube or other video mechanism. About this article (and I do love Thomas LIfson): !. The transcript; which comes first, of Carlson's video is full of typographical errors and could have only used some sort of speech-to-text mechanism. Very off-putting. 2. The video of the interview stopped a third of the way from the end. 3. There is no way to go back and gather what was concluded.

Tucker is the best. As interviewers at Fox, he and Maria Bartiroma are in a class all their own.

One thing is for sure, over the years a lot of high mucky muck individuals in government and industry, holding what are considered to be high level academic degrees who have played the American job, manufacturing, and political outsourcing game to China and other low wage foreign countries, have become very rich and that has not included the average American workers whose jobs disappeared over decades because of that outsourcing. Those are the same people who advocate insourcing the American economy with huge numbers of low wage foreign workers, both illegally and legally, to fill American jobs that for one reason or another cannot be outsourced to low wage foreign countries. You can see the extreme resistance from the DC UniParty that President Trump came up against when he opposed such insourcing and outsourcing though his “Make America Great Again” political agenda. That alone should tell you something, and may have been the impetus for the Chinese Communist Government to commence a covert economic war against the US economy by facilitating the Wuhan corona virus to be exported from the Wuhan region of China to the USA, and other countries, by allowing tens of thousands of Chinese people, many of them infected with the virus to travel by commercial air internationally, and seed the USA and other countries with that very contagious virus that the Communist Chinese Government knew was being transmitted through human to human contact. By doing that the Chinese Communist Government would be vying for a “twofer” to severely damage the US economy and get rid of Trump and his anti-China and pro-America political agenda. In that respect we will see what happens!

The unions and their pension plans played a big role in our surrender to the Yellow Peril.

He never did answer the question on the amount of money he made from China... this guy was slick but he didn't outdo Tucker.

The McKinsey was a weasel - defended China until Tucker listed specific outrages by China, then backtracked and said he didn't agree with them. He talked out of both sides of his mouth most of the time. You could tell Tucker was making him very uncomfortable - he spent most of the interview licking his lips and twitching. Consultants don't like to be asked pointed questions.

Whose daughter was on the McKinsey payroll, Trump's or Clinton's?

Tucker's rant was misidentified as a Saul Alynski agenda item. Tucker is no socialist and was merely explaining the situation.
