Happy Tucker Carlson Day! pic.twitter.com/QntFIq0n7y — Anna (@provemewrong411) February 8‚ 2024 Per Wired: Russians have reacted ecstatically online to the two-hour interview between former Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson and Russian president Vladimir Putin‚ hailing it as a historic‚ internet-breaking moment that will change the world. Many are now even calling the former Fox News presenter a national hero: Some have called for February 9 to be renamed as “Tucker Carlson Day‚” while others posted pictures of Carlson wearing a Russian ushanka hat and claimed Carlson wore a tie during the interview bearing colors that closely resemble the colors and pattern of Saint George’s ribbon‚ a Russian military symbol. The much-hyped interview ran for more than two hours on Tucker Carlson’s new streaming platform and X‚ and saw Putin spending a huge amount of time laying out a revisionist history of Russia and the Ukraine in a bid to justify Russia’s invasion. Carlson spent most of the interview listening‚ and rarely interjected to question Putin’s narrative. He also failed to push the Russian leader on his country’s widely reported war crimes in Ukraine. The interview marks Carlson’s further embrace of the far-right and conspiracy world since departing Fox News last year‚ and comes on the back of Russia ratcheting up its interference operations ahead of the 2024 elections. This week‚ WIRED reported on a coordinated Russian disinformation campaign where state media‚ influencers‚ bots‚ and others claimed the Texas border crisis was pushing the US toward civil war.

The Democratic National Committee launched four billboards in Grand Rapids‚ Michigan‚ targeting independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his Super PAC‚ American Values 2024‚ taking donations from a former Trump mega-donor. The DNC billboards will be up as Kennedy holds a rally at the St. Cecilia Music Center in Grand Rapids on Saturday. The signs purchased by the DNC hit Kennedy for his Super PAC receiving $15 million in donations from transportation executive Timothy Mellon‚ who also donated $10 million to Super PAC aligned with former President Donald Trump‚ MAGA Inc.‚ last year‚ The Hill reported. Both Kennedy’s and Trump’s faces are featured on the DNC’s billboards‚ which read‚ “RFK Jr. powered by MAGA Trump. Same biggest donor Timothy Mellon.” Democratic National Committee funded billboard outside Grand Rapids‚ Michigan attacks RFK Jr as “powered by MAGA/Trump” RFK Jr is hosting a rally here later today pic.twitter.com/0llA55fWHk — Timcast News (@TimcastNews) February 10‚ 2024 “RFK Jr. isn’t fooling anyone‚” DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd told The Hill. “He’s powered and bankrolled by the same extreme MAGA donor as Donald Trump‚ and Trump’s allies have already called him a useful chaos agent in this election.” “Michiganders deserve better than a stalking horse for extreme MAGA Republicans‚” he added. Kennedy‚ who switched to an independent bid after initially entering the Democratic primary‚ is still seeking to get on the ballot in Michigan‚ a vital battleground state‚ for the upcoming presidential election. On Friday‚ the DNC also filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission‚ alleging that the Kennedy campaign is illegally coordinating with American Values 2024. The DNC alleged that Kennedy is “trying to take the short cut” by having his Super Pac lead the effort to get him on the ballot in all 50 states. Kennedy fired back on Friday‚ posting on X‚ “The DNC is accusing my campaign of FEC violations in the form of sharing state-approved petition formats — petition formats so secretive they are posted on our website for use by all our volunteers nationwide.” “The efforts by the DNC to suppress democracy‚ silence descent‚ and handpick our national leaders in smoke-filled rooms are radical departures from the core values of a party my family helped to build‚” Kennedy added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The independent candidate has secured spots on the ballot in Utah and New Hampshire‚ according to his campaign. Democrats have expressed concern about Kennedy’s independent presidential run as polls show the nephew of President John F. Kennedy could play spoiler in the 2024 election. In a head-to-head matchup‚ Biden trails Trump by just two points‚ according to the Real Clear Politics average of polling data. However‚ when a five-way race — which includes Kennedy and candidates Jill Stein and Cornell West — is factored in‚ Biden trails Trump by nearly five percentage points with Kennedy polling at 13%. “Donors from across the political spectrum are supporting the Kennedy campaign as they are tired of the corruption in the two-party system‚” a Kennedy campaign spokesman told The Hill‚ responding to the DNC’s billboards. “Instead‚ donors want an independent candidate who will heal the divide‚ restore the middle class‚ end the forever wars‚ unravel corporate capture‚ and the end chronic disease epidemic.”

Climate initiatives laid out in President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) come with a bigger price tag than anticipated: over $400 billion more‚ per the latest estimates.  The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed the increased $428 billion cost in its budget and economic outlook for the next decade. The agency admitted that its projections were subject to change‚ citing variables such as the pace of deployment and use of low-emissions technologies and electric vehicles‚ as well as the number of taxpayers who have yet to claim certain tax credits enacted in the IRA.  “The budgetary effects of energy-related tax provisions remain highly uncertain‚” stated CBO.  The CBO originally estimated in 2022 that the IRA’s climate and energy provisions would cost around $400 billion. However‚ other corporations and organizations said that number was far too low.  Shortly after CBO issued its estimate‚ the global investment banking company Credit Suisse estimated the climate initiatives would cost over $800 billion. That number is closer to CBO’s most recent estimate.  Other recent‚ outside estimates have been higher. An August report from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business predicted that the IRA’s climate and energy provisions would cost taxpayers over $1 trillion. The CBO explained that technical revisions resulted in the substantially higher projections‚ most of which ($224 billion) arose from clean vehicle tax credits and revenues from excise taxes on gasoline. Of that total‚ $151 billion came from reductions in projected revenues and $73 billion came from increases in projected outlays.  Much of the higher projections came from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal last year to impose more stringent vehicle emissions standards beginning with the 2027 model year.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The CBO further noted that Treasury guidance determined that credits claimed by businesses for leased vehicles weren’t subject to restrictions applied to credits claimed directly by individuals‚ such as a buyer’s income‚ eligible vehicle pricing‚ critical mineral sourcing locations‚ battery component manufacturer locations‚ and final vehicle assembly locations.  “Dealers and buyers have responded to that guidance by leasing more electric vehicles than [the Joint Committee on Taxation] anticipated when preparing its 2022 estimates‚” said CBO.  Apart from the cost of Biden’s climate initiatives‚ the CBO report didn’t lend a positive outlook for the nation’s economy. The CBO projected that the nation’s deficit would steadily mount‚ reaching $2.6 trillion in 2034 from $1.6 trillion in this fiscal year. In relation to GDP‚ the deficit is projected to reach 6.1% in 2034. The CBO said that these deficit levels were similar to those experienced during some of the greatest national crises. “Since the Great Depression‚ deficits have exceeded that level only during and shortly after World War II‚ the 2007-2009 financial crisis‚ and the coronavirus pandemic‚” read the report.  Debt held by the public would increase to 116% of GDP by 2034 ($48.3 trillion) and would continue to grow to 172% of GDP in 2054‚ up from the 99% projected at the end of this year ($26.2 trillion).  According to the CBO‚ that 2034 estimate would mark an all-time historical high for the nation‚ a record reached due to increases in mandatory spending and interest costs outpacing declines in discretionary spending as well as revenue and economic growth.
