Ben & Jerry’s Co-Founder Ben Cohen told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Monday that, due to the Pentagon’s inflated budget, the department is a “huge demonic sucking tube.”

Cohen went on to highlight Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ‘s 1967 speech, in which he criticized the U.S. for prioritizing the Vietnam War over dedicating “necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor.”
“Martin Luther King gave this speech, and he talked about the Pentagon being this huge demonic sucking tube that sucks out the lifeblood of things like housing, schools,” Cohen added. “Everybody’s school budget is always in the red, or, you know, can’t raise enough money. Gotta get rid of teachers, or whomever, but — ”
“I think that’s when they shot him, is when he said that,” Carlson said.

He had to wait until Biden was out of office
Is this the one who “christens” his product with an occasional dna sample?
Yuck!
Biden, kamala and the entire Pentagon are proof the 17th Amendment, needs to be repealed, the Senior Executive Service, eliminated. DOGE is the tip of the iceberg. Till those steps occur, the USA is a damaged, diminished Republic with K street whores and party Elites spending your future efforts, spitting in your face, while laughing at you on the way to the next party, giggling at their investment portfolio returns.. all while telling you they are keeping you safe.. its currently we the sheeple, adjusting the chains on our necks, wondering which hand to lick.
Someone should remind Tucker that. It is not nice to make fun of the cognitively impaired. They have their own problems and amplifying them is not a nice thing to do.
If anyone know about sucking it’s Ben & Jerry
Be wary of this growing movement of ultra-liberals trying to rebrand themselves as centrists. They supposedly are fed up with the Democrat leadership, but their ideology is just as radical as any Democrat in Congress. More rebranding and fakery to make the gullible out there think that they’re creating the real MAGA movement, but from the left!
F@#$ BJ. Been commie trash since the beginning. Those claiming that they make a better product is as asinine as claiming that Starbucks is inherently better.
Pineapple pizza perverts all.
"Rehabilitation of the poor" is not a legitimate function of government. The entire "civil" "rights" "movement" was misguided and misbegotten on many levels; this is one of the most obvious.
Sold out to Unilever 25 years ago. So who cares what this schmuck really thinks?
The thesis is, however, not incorrect. One reads:
"The most recent projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirm once again that America's fiscal outlook is on an unsustainable path — increasingly driven by higher interest costs. Growing debt, in addition to the rise in interest rates over the past couple of years, has significantly increased the cost of federal borrowing. In 2024, interest costs on the national debt totaled $881 billion — surpassing most other components of the federal budget."More ANYTHING -- including more money for this or that -- is simply MORE."CBO projects that interest costs in 2025 will total $952 billion — an 8 percent increase from the year before, but following increases of 30 and 32 percent in each of the two years before that. This year's high interest bill is part of a trend that stretches out into the future, as debt continues to climb and relatively high interest rates push up the cost of federal borrowing. Over the next decade, the U.S. government's interest payments on the national debt are now projected to total $13.8 trillion — the highest dollar amount for interest in any historical 10-year period and nearly double the total spent over the past two decades after adjusting for inflation. "
Any Way You Look at It, Interest Costs on the National Debt Will Soon Be at an All-Time High Peterson, 22 January 2025
"Paying down, or servicing, the national debt is one of the federal government's biggest expenses. According to the Congressional Budget Office, net interest payments on the federal debt were $659 billion in 2023 rose to $870 billion in 2024. "There is indeed a "huge Demonic Sucking Tube" -- taken as a whole. Look to your city's, county's, state's and the national debt, and tally YOUR supposed "share" of that.
It's a big number. It's an unsustainable number.
Not to mention a complete violation of the 10th Amendment.
I’m in the middle.
Arguments for and against apply to both sides.
“Been commie trash since the beginning. Those claiming that they make a better product is as asinine as claiming that Starbucks is inherently better.”
indeed ... commie trash, AND ice cream is, and always has been, full of extraneous additives and artificial thickeners so they can skimp on expensive butter fat ...
Send in the clowns.... To Tucker Carlson. His mother was loaded, from a wealthy California family. The money trickled down to Tucker and his brother, when she passed about 10 years ago.

“huge demonic sucking tube.”
So, does that mean he likes it?
