Riding around in her coach, Marie Antoinette was said to have asked why the people looked so unhappy. “Your majesty, they have no bread,” she was allegedly told. It was indeed the case that the failed harvest of 1789 had made bread prices shoot through the roof; starvation loomed. But Marie Antoinette was said to have replied simply: “If they have no bread, let them eat cake.”
If Tucker Carlson decides to run and this speech is an indication of his platform, and if the Dem fraud can be contained, he is our next POTUS.
Tucker had to give this speech in Hungary. In the USA, on an outdoor stage, hooded Antifa/BLM blackshirt goons would have attacked him with clubs, flash-bangs and bags of urine, while the Woke Police stood watching from 2 blocks away.

What really happened was that price controls were put on plain bread, causing a shortage. No bread. So she wanted to put price controls on high-end bread; i.e., 18th-century French equivalent of cake. Which also caused a shortage. Price controls do that. Marie Antoinette was not a cold-hearted, out-of-touch debutante. She was a leftard. Which is the same thing, for all practical purposes in whatever era.
Saw this last night.
Tucker is Must See TV.
They’ve already laid siege to his home, with wife and newborn there. “Antifa”. How ironic.
CNN is filling You Tube with negative videos about him. That makes him and Bongino must see.
Versailles and Paris might as well have been different countries.
Good point.
The video is outstanding.
First of all, nobody believes that Marie Antoinette actually said ‘let them eat cake’. There is simply zero evidence of anything even remotely like that.
Second, are you saying that Marie Antoinette had a significant role in price controls for longstanding problem of bread prices? I mean, if she was an out of touch deubtante, who would listen to her on economic policy? But I am interested in what her role was in those policies. In any event, price controls are always favored by socialists and are usually popular with the masses, who stupidly think they will help despite all evidence to the contrary. Her biggeset problem, as far as I am aware, was that she was not French (an Austrian) and was a very big spender.

She was married to King Louis XVI, out of touch or not, so people had to listen to her, even though she was very young and about as dumb as Kamalla, and much more vain. She was notorious as a big but foolish spender. At one point spending a million sous for a diamond necklace that turned out to be fake.
The younger Lord George Gordon, whose attempt to petition Parliament against giving citizenship to Catholics (he was a Protestant at the time, and an MP) caused a huge riot in London, was arrested for slandering her, making fun of her necklace purchase in a newspaper. Actually, he had converted to Judaism and wanted to leave England for Poland, so that slander case was just the pretext, to punish him for “inciting” the big riot and also converting to Judaism. He died in Highgate prison, in a luxurious cell provided courtesy of the other Gordons, who didn’t like to see their baby brother treated like a common criminal. Cancel culture goes back a ways.
