Tucker Carlson Grocery Prices in Russia
Americans are losing it after seeing what Tucker
Carlson paid for groceries in Russia
So we're gonna try and buy what a family of four would buy
every week, and we're
gonna see what the selection is, and we're gonna see what it costs.
Now, Russia is famous for its bread,
which is one thing I can assess pretty well.
The low-carb lifestyle has not swept Russia.
Uh, thank heaven, because they... I mean, look at that.
It's fresh, too. Look at that.
Oh, come on. Mm. Unicorn and Mini
Mills.
All right.
Some kind of Russian wheat cookies.
Ooh, we need coffee, don't we? Yeah.
I don't know if this is sugar or flour, to be honest with you, but, uh,
it looks like a staple, so we should get it.
It's a very good-looking package.
It's gotta be flour, right?
And this is Russian wine. It's from Crimea, which not only has the
warm water naval base but also is the source of most
of the grapes, uh, in this part of Russia for wine.
So it's apparently pretty good.
Cheese puffs. Well, you check out of a grocery store,
and you've got gum,
razor blades, and candy. Actually, they hide the razor blades 'cause we steal
them.
But these are all, seem to be Western products.
Mars, Twix, Snickers,
Milky Way, Bounty, Gillette, Halls cough
drops, Mentos.
It's pretty non-sanctioned to me, but what do I know?
I went from amused to legitimately angry.
Um,
so we were guessing what this would cost.
Everybody here is from the United States, buys groceries, and we didn't pay any
attention to costs as we were just putting in the cart what we
would actually eat
over a week.
And we all came in around 400 bucks, about 400 bucks.
Um, it was $104 US here. And
that's when you start to realize that i- ideology maybe doesn't matter as much
as you thought. Corruption.
If you take people's standard of living and you tank it
through filth and crime and inflation, and they literally can't
buy the groceries they want, at that point, maybe it matters less what you
say or whether you're a good person or a bad person.
You're wrecking people's lives in their country, and that's what our leaders have
done to us. And coming to a Russian grocery store,
the heart of evil,
and seeing what things cost and how people live, it will
radicalize you against our leaders. That's how I feel, anyway.
Radicalized.
Meanwhile, in the US, groceries have become so
expensive that they're locking up steaks with security
wires and alarms at Walmarts.
Y'all doing Walmart so bad they gotta lock they steaks up, boy.
They not playing with y'all now. $45 for a
steak, and they locking them mother- up tight.
Mm, mm, mm. What y'all done did to Walmart?
