new york. that is the ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy december 1st. the year was also over, and thank heaven it is. 2020 has been tough on everyone. americans are tired and frustrated, divided, and angry. eight months of nonstop crisis will do that to a country. everyone could use a break. unfortunately it doesn't look like we are getting a break anytime soon because there's a new crisis on theak horizon. we learned about it today. it's a bad one we are said to tell you. this is a threat that imperils the very existence of our nation. it's not a mutated form of the coronavirus newly arrived from asia, it's not an exotic new painkiller that will silently

kill yet another hundred thousand americans in unfashionable little towns. it's not even another exodus of middle-class jobs to china. it's worse than any of that. the crisis is you and your sinfulness. your indelible personal bigotry. you are the threat to america. that news came today from the mayor of louisville, kentucky. that mayor's name is greg fischer. as a civic leader, it's fair to see that greg fischer has not been a success. louisville is on the most worst place to live than it was when he took over buried so as a mayor, greg fischer has failed, that's undeniable. so he's found a new calling now. greg fischer is a public health expert. that's a job with far fewer requirements and a much more lenient grading scale. listen to dr. fischer describe our new pandemic. >> our systems are more than broken, they must be dismantled and replaced. that's why i'm announcing today that i'm signing an executive order declaring racism a public health crisis in louisville.

>> tucker: so racism is a public health crisis, says greg fischer. dr. fischer plans to attack thia crisis with an executive order. will masks help contain the spread of racism? they certainly haven't before, but we will see. or maybe we won't see. the beauty of fighting racism, like fighting sadness or alienation or existential dread is that there aren't very good measures of progress. you can't really know when you've won. the battle goes on forever. you're always justified in fighting it of course, by definition. in the war against racism, you are always thehe good guy. no one can criticize your motives or even your competence. compare that to normal politics. much easier. by conventional political standards, greg fischer is a disgrace. two of louisville's biggest employers just left his city buried huge numbers of people are still dying from drug ods. they had race riots over the summer. louisville is a mess and it's fair to say that greg fischer is at least partly responsible for thatre mess. unsurprisingly, greg fischer has no interest in talking about

that. he would much rather talk about abyour racism, so that's what hs doing. it's an old trick, obviously. al sharpton doesn't pay his taxes and then he calls you a bigot for asking him about it. but the tactic suddenly seems more popular than ever. suddenly everywhere. and as a reason, the more obvious it becomes the people in charge are stupid and selfish, the more time they spend attacking you in the country they are supposed to bee leadin. they divide us to keep us from noticing how awful they are. and unfortunately it works pretty well and that's why they do it. let's say you were incompetent t and you didn't want anyone to know you were. what would you do? your first task would be to describe the meritocracy. that's the system that rewards people inth this country for thr effort and their talent asr opposed to rewarding them for irrelevant criteria like how they look. it is a main threat to incompetent people. it keeps the incompetent from getting rich and powerful so they hated above p all. that's why they're tearing it down. so what does it look like in

practice to tear down a meritocracy? well, it looks a lot like joe biden staffing a presidential of administration. a recent piece inis "politico" tells the story. according to politico's account, the congressional black caucus is demanding that biden select a black secretary of defense. not a secretary of defense was good at defending america, secretary of defense with the correct skin color. feminist groups are mad about this, says politico. not mad because it would leave the country vulnerable, no, mad because they want a female secretary of defense. why do they want is female secretary of defense gimmick because theyse are females. the secretary of defense should look like them because it's all about them. not at the pentagon or the country, or the military threats we might face in the future. it is about identity, which is to say it's about narcissism. when i see people in power, i must see myself. that's the demand. and not just the demand of the pentagon. there is how vox covered it.

brainard, who is white is seen alon wall street and by her skeptics on the left is the most likely treasury secretary. raffaella bostic, who would be the first black first openly gay treasury secretary is also receiving some consideration. fox went on to note that some hispanic democrats are upset thatidat there are no hispanic candidates legitimately in the mix for the other three top jobs in the biden administration. got that? gay.nic, black emma those are categories, not people, not individuals. it's about vulcanization, not unity. straight white men are the enemy, says the party led by one and so it goes. it's hard to imagine anything uglier than this. it's hard to imagine a more abrupt cul-de-sac. this doesn't go anywhere that you would want to go. it ends with discord and worse. but it continues. listen to "the huffington post" account of the struggle to fill kamala harris' senate seat in the state of california. three main [indiscernible] nine and or subgroups are trying to

influence governor newsom, those advocating forve black women, those advocating for a latino and those advocating for a member of lgbt community. in other words, certain jobs for certain identities. certain skin colors have preprescribed roles. how is that different from a traditional caste system? how is that better than the jim crow south? ththose are fair questions, buto one ever asked them. instead, the media just a appla. >> i don't remember a cabinet or a senior appointment that are as diverse. >> i suspect he may well have one of the most diverse cabinets in the history of this country. >> the most diverse staff that a transition has ever had. >> he promised the most diverse cabinet in history. >> the most diverse ever assembled. >> and it could be the most diverse ever. >> assembling what is essentially the most diverse cabinet in the history. >> president-elect biden, vice

president-elect kamala harris have the most diverse and competent team a president and vice president could possibly have. >> tucker: so obviously those people are unimpressive despite their credentials. endlessly repeating the latest corporate slogan, but listen to what they're saying. diversity. that is the overriding goal of every appointment. notice what they don't say. no one ever explains what exactly diversity is, not with any precision, or justifies that definition. no one dares to. and yet diversity is now required by corporate america. their definition of diversity, the nasdaq, for example, has proposed new listing rules that will h require companies to "hae her explain what they do not have at least two diverse directors including one who self identifies as female and one who self identifies as either an underrepresented minority or lgbtq+." not to be outdone, the bank announced it has created an index of 350 "lgbtq-quiz accompanist" and they will of

course be rewarded accordingly. think this through for a minute. there's a lot of money at stake here with these definitions and a lot of power that attaches. at some point we are going to need highly specific ways to verify that the people who are benefiting from these categories deserve to, that they are indeed women, whatever that now means, or that they are legitimately lgbtq+. so what will that verification look like? blood tests? blhome monitoring? we will find out at some point, unfortunately. janet yellen doesn't seem worried. she's joe biden's pick for treasury secretary and she's on board for all of it. she's rich enough to be. shield explained that illuminating social disparities, hard to define, is a central goal of federal economic policy going forward. watch. >> we risk missing the obligation to address deeper structural problems. inequality, stagnant wages, racial disparities and pay, job

opportunities, housing. food security and small business lending. to deny building to communities ofen color. gender. disparities to keep womn out of the workforce and keep our economy from running at full force. it's a convergence of tragedies. >> tucker: yeah. so thehe idea is everybody pays money into the federal treasury. they put you in jail if you don't. it's compulsory.t' they will use force if they need to. but only some people benefit depending on who janet yellen thinks should benefit, so there's that. we should debate that. it's worth debating. but step back a few feet. what's more interesting is that everything you just heard is the opposite of the actual truth. and if you're actually in favor of diversity, real diversity, you noticed that. the diversity measures they are proposing won't make anythingin more diverse, just the opposite. these proposals are merely a way for the people and charged to hire more of their friends.

what you're seeing is an attempt to preserve and codify the class system that is already in place and unfortunately that is growing more rigid by the day. if you really wanted to flatten america's stroll social structure, and we want that, and you should too because again, class systems are bad and we now have a one. if you wanted a flatter society, you would demand a return to tomeritocracy. we would want a or anyone, no matter where they were born, or what they look like or who they slept with could succeed. that's what we used to have. it's why we were proud of america. it's the opposite of what the left is now demanding. so if you really wanted to make companies more diverse, and again, we are for that, you would try to actually diversify them. that means you would hire people who are not in any sense likeou you. people with different backgrounds, actually different backgrounds. we would hires, more people with technical degrees, for examplele in fewer who studied marketing or communication. you would find people who lived

in rural zip codes, deep in rural zip codes. he would seek out employees who are deeply involved in theird churches or owned guns or who had close family members who died of opioid ods. in more than anything, on day one, you would put a cap on the number of employees who went to elite colleges. we will just start with the top 100 on the u.s. news annual list. you would outright ban harvard, yale, princeton, stanford graduates completely. they've got enough representation to last for the next half-century. you would make any previous employment and mckinsey and company, or any other absurd consulting firm instantly disqualified. you would look beyond race and sex to the cultural markers that actually matter and actually determine later success in a class system. you would subtract one from any applicant who had ever spent the night on nantucket or martha's vineyard or st. mark's and you would add points to applicants who vacationed in branson or lake mead or the fort of panhandle. it would start an aggressive affirmative action program for fat people. for deer hunters.

for anyone who drives an american car or eats dinner while wearing a hat. are those people represented on corporate boards? i don't think so. find a fat person in corporate america. there's not not one. why isor that? you know why. our leaders are doing precisely the opposite of that and it tells you everything. what you're seeing is the ruling class pulling up the ladder, as they always do, as all ruling classes do. how many of the people lecturino you about diversity come from exactly the same elite background? well, pretty much all of them. so what they're advocating for his people just like themselves. we will give you a thousand example, we will just pick one. marcus maybury, he runs global digital programming at cnn. it's been around journalism forever. he is now one of the most energetic diversity in forces. never ends the sentence without using the word diverse. that's his job. and here's the interesting part. he himself went to high school at lawrenceville academy. he got to go degrees from stanford. then he spent decades at "newsweek," "the new york times," and

twitter. naturally he claims to be highly concerned about inclusion. listen to him from just a few years ago lecturing his then-employer about it. >> there was a lot of work to do at twitter and throughout tech and one of the reasons i came to twitter, because i think it's so important that we are at thee table. it was true of "the new york times" too but we have to make more of us. not just african-american but also latino and hispanics who are very much also underrepresented in technology and at twitter and twitter -- i'm convinced our current leadership is committed to improving that diversity, but there's a lot of work to do. >> tucker: doeso a lot of work to do! to make sure that more of us are at the table. people who want to lawrenceville and got a masters degree at stanford! where underrepresented! marcus maybury known the board of one of the most expensive boarding schools in the world is fighting the man! of course he is! it's working for him! it's working for all his friends! which is not working for you and is not intended to. you are excluded from their

inclusion. but you knew that. chief washington correspondent at the hill, we are happy to have him on tonight. i just can't stop marveling at how the diversity efforts are all designed to harden the pernicious class system that we already have in place to reward the friends of the people in charge and hurt people who aren't in the in group. >> you absolutely nailed it. here is something they don't want you to know. the racial wealth gap in america is almost entirely concentrated between the top 10% ofre white people and the top 10% of black people. in fact, 75% of white and blacks make approximately the same amount ofte money.on they don't want you to know that because that would have to be dealing with people like mr. maybury, we just talked about, and the wealth gap between him and maybe something like jeff bezos. they're both probably in the top 1% of american incomes, but they want you to think that solving the racial gap between those two individuals is actual progress in america. meanwhile, average american

whites, blacks, hispanics, everybody is left behind in the cold. they want everybody to think in small economic terms in order to keep everybody down, divide everybody by race so you don't even ask a question about class. >> tucker: that's exactly right, and if you really wanted diversity, and i just can't say this enough, i'm for it. i'm for workplaces -- i'm for a society where people are judged by what they do, where people have different experiences. i'm totally for that. what we are seeing is uniformity but if you wanted diversity why wouldn't you just am not hiring anybody else who went on a billig school, period, why won't they dowo that? >> they can't do that because that's how they preserve the neoliberal order we have right now. take joe biden for example, right? let's see his three historic picks for secretary of defense. michelle, she had an influence peddling firm here in washington. in order to help expand fortune 500 companies market access to china. jeh johnson, he is a boardmember over at lockheed martin corporation. lloyd austin, historic black

general, right? is also an advisor to pine island capital a partners, which is a hedge fund which raised $218 million after joe biden was elected on november 3rd and guess what? that $218 million is staked on -- betting on expanded market access in the military -- in military and artificial intelligence, so if he was secretary of defense, he would literally create new opportunities with the hedge fund that w he advises would thn go and make money from. what that i just tell you their? they are all historic choices, right? >> tucker: the hedge fund general is a victory for diversity! i don't think i've heard it explained morse the singly or better than you just did and i appreciate that. great to see you. >> thank you, tucker. speeone's one of the hallmarks of t incompetence is a total refusal to abide by your own standards, or even acknowledging that universal standards exist. gavin newsom, governor of our biggest state just violated his own coronavirus rules to attend a dinner at one of the most

expensive restaurants in the world. we learned tonight he was not the only politician in california to break those rules. villa, one of the best reporters in the state, he's with fox l.a., has the story for us tonight. hey, bill. >> hey, tucker, good evening to you. talk about l.a. county supervisor sheila, and i was tipped out by several people in the restaurant industry who were less than pleased because they say this is yet another glaring example of hypocrisy from our local politicians, so talking about the supervisor, rewind the clock to last tuesday. that's when she voted to outright ban all outdoor dining here in l.a. county for all 31,000's of our restaurants and the reason she did so is she said it was just too dangerous to continue allowing. take a listen. >> and then there's the issue of the 6-foot distance. it's a bit of magical thinking on everyone's part to think that at any restaurant anywhere, the server keeps a 6-foot distance

from the table where he or she is taking an order. so the servers and are protected from us. and then are protected from their other six tables that they're serving at that particular time, plus all of the hours in which they ares workin. so it is a most dangerous situation for them. >> and most dangerous situation, she describes it.de well, evidently she didn't thins it was that dangerous because we confirmed that just hours after she made the statements and hours after she voted to shutdown outdoor dining dining, she came right behindor us hereo a restaurant here in santa monica where, guess what, she dined outdoors, doing exactly what she had said three hours before hand was too dangerous to do. can you believeto it? we reached out to her staff about it and she told us that yes, she ate there, but she went there because she felt bad for the restaurant because they're losing their finances during the pandemic and she wanted to stop by one last time to support them before the ban went into effect on wednesday night. but that's entirely beside the point, because just hours before

she had said it was just too dangerous to eat outdoors and then a few hours later she's eating outdoors. as you can imagine, restaurant owners out here are absolutely furious about this. they say this is just another example of the ongoing hypocrisy with our leaders. they say look, she either believes outdoor dining is dangerous or she doesn't. she isn't listening to her own messaging and that's why there is so much frustration with the public tuning folks out, so to wrap this up, we've been trying to get an interview with the supervisor all day long today. and they've been telling us -- our campus been telling us she's too busy, she's in meetings all day long. it turns out that's not true because she just had an interview with another affiliate in l.a. where she is playing the victim and essentially said she's getting death threats and that she came here because she wanted to personally deliver the news to the restaurant that she was going to put them out of business. strange expo nation. we will send it back to you. >> tucker: it's so good. i hope you're reporting gets the attention it deserves in california. thanks for joining us c tonight.

>> well, we change the narrative. what we are seeing with the us -- we are going to see the biggest one-year increase in homicides and shootings in this country, tucker, in decades, and that's a predictable result of a fatal life which holds that policing is systemically racist. joe biden embraced that lie during his campaign. he's embraced and after the collection election and it will become a touchstone of his justice department and is completely untrue. the problem in this country as criminals, not cops. cops are the solution, but as long as you go about telling cops incessantly, as we heard in seattle, as we heard in louisville, in chicago, new york, you name it, that cops are racist for going after criminals, they are going to back off, cops in this country are demoralized. they are defunded. they are being assaulted on a daily basis. and when cops back off of policing, you don't get some

specific nirvana, some post-racial nirvana. you get anarchy and chaos. last month in november there was a 5-year-old boy in chicago who was shot in the head in his home by a thug who drove by and just sprayed bullets willy-nilly at the house. you had a cop last week who was dragged after a car stop, fracturing his skull in three places. this is not going to stop my tucker, and less more people stand up and say that cops are not the problem. there is a solution. >> tucker: it seems like any politician who is awake and not a guilty white liberal as so many of them are in bothty parties, would understand the people of all colors and backgrounds support order and hate violence, so why are there more politicians rushing forward to take advantage of this opportunity? >> it's completely bizarre.>> it turns out that ideology trumps common sense. andtr it trumps for a very long

time people's own sense of comfort and their own desires, because a lot of these politicians who have been demonizing, the cops have been reelected. because people would rather embrace the idea that they are alone and fighting racism. it makes them feel virtuous and frankly, the other reason, itcker, is the vast majority of crime is happening in inner-city neighborhoods. it's the class divide that you talked about before. it's also a race divide. this isn't going to change until white kids start getting shot in their homes at night. >> tucker: yeah. it's really a sick religion. it's all over the anglo world, doctors the united states. there is something really dark s going on. i appreciate you coming on tonight. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: you might not be thrilled about the prospect of a joe biden presidency, with the communist party china is.rt we have the tape that proves that, we will discuss with oliver north, who joins us after

about and doing if they come to town is conferring with the men who wrote this book, because they know what it's like. they helped bring down the evil empire, the soviet union, for ronald reagan. xi jinping is probably very happy that biden is preparing to move into the white house. the backing of hisis polar bureu has absolute power. he runs everything in russia and everything in russia is aimed at domination of the rest of the planet. they now have more naval combatants than the u.s. navy. the threat -- excuse me, the theft of intellectual property threatens our national security. that's how they got the navy they gott today. it allows tons of illicit drugs to be exported to other nations around the world.or he set up a global string of pearls going all the way back in the 1980s. all of this has been done with these guys in djibouti, panama canal, pakistan, the false territorial claims over opene seas in the election of

man-made military bastions provide visible proof of his determination, but evensc more menacing is the prc's over and over actions to thwart u.n. sanctions against tehran. that basically assures that the ayatollahs in iran are going to obtain nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them. there's credible evidence the communist party in china was instrumental in the worldwide w spread of covid-19 varied religious freedom in china is nonexistent. democracy in hong kong has been crushed. the economy in dozens of developing countries, particularly in africa, threatened by beijing's so-called felton road initiative and here at home the prc's campaign of disinformation to these confucius institutes near major universities providesrs disinformation and encourages marxist and anarchist vandals to loot and burn. as the authors of this book make very clear. 70 recommendations by these three god-fearing men who wrote the book bring decades of matchless experience to the question and what jake ought to

be doing is talking to these guys instead of the communist chinese, but if he succeeds, this is going to be a plan run just like orwell said with all the surveillance and our kids deserveel better. >> tucker: they certainly do. thanks so much, good to see you. >> pleasure. >> tucker: so there's evidence tonight that not everybody is on board with continuing the lockdown. given the degree to which they've destroyed the country already. some republican lawmakers in the state of ohio have just fired to filed impeachment articles against the republican governor over restrictions he's imposing. we will speak to a legislator after the break. ♪ or [ whispering ]

vice president multiple times.ed >> tucker: the news media along with silicon valley disappeared that story immediately looking for election interference? there you go. there is new reasons the blackout cannot last forever. steve krakauer is the founder and editor and joins us to explain. thanks so much for joining delma coming on. seems to mee the story told, i which is true, raises a lot of questions that a function news media would be taking up and exploring. will they? >> you would think so. i think one of the worst traits we've seen the last few years and this predates the trump era i would say is this lack of curiosity. one of the most noble trades the media would have is that they were curious. this was a story that was really, the timing was not right for the media to start exploiting it. so it's okay, fine. it got basically blacked out. will they go back and do it?

i don't know. one in the most interesting things about the m story, the media loves stock check-in, they are obsessed with checking facts bear the story was in fact-checked, it was ignored. usually a sign there is something there they will touch on because it can't be fact-checked the way. it would not be shocking if nine months down the road we get a little bit of coverage on it because all of a sudden it's not -- the heat is off a little bit and they can actually go explore it and find out the truth about it. >> at the heart of the story, it'sto the communist governmentf china which by any analysis is america's chief rival, seeking to displace the united states as a leader of the world. how could you ignore that story under a biden administration? >> right. look at the last four years, the russia collusion story, couldn't get information to put it out ib the public and find all sorts of strides they start to weave, all

of it turned out to be completely not true. this is a story that now we are dealing with china, dealing with a biden administration, i do wonder if there are media outlets start to explore it as a start getting into 2020 because, you know, clearly this is a story that's going to be relevant for the american public, and it should be. we saw what happened during the election and the lead up of the election u with the way the stoy was handled, and essentially ignored. do they go back and do it now that the heat is off a little bit and they actually explore the hunter biden story? i certainly think they should and i wonder if they do. >> tucker: i can't resist asking you this. it's probably a longer answer. but four years from now how many of these media organizations still exist, how many go under between now and then? >> it's an interesting question. donald trump for all the ideas they are in with the next eventual fight with donald trump, man, he was good for business.

if donald trump gone januar january 20th 2021 and is essentially not out of public life, certainly out of political life, what happens here. if it's between that, the changingng ways of legacy media losing power left and right, the rise of tech companies. that's certainly hurting business as well. i think the establishment media starts to goe under and i think outlets that are more digital first that may be sought a nicec little bump over the last few years but can't sustain in the way it needs to because you got these large media operations were half of them were of resistance reporters, what are they going to do now? they literally have no beat anymore. i think we'll see absolutely a decline in that. where do we go from there. where is the curiosity going to be when it comes the next four years? i don't know. i think we'll have to find out. >> sean:n: institutions >> tucker: institutions thatcore forever. great to see you.

>> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: that is it for us. another hour gone. thank you for joining us. we will be back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., the show that's the total, since your enemy of lying, prosody, and groupthink. coming up next, from new york, the great sean hannity. >> sean: great show as always. welcome to hannity. and that we are going to do things little bit differently. we are going to hear a little less from me in the opening monologue, more from your fellow american citizens. in other words, whistle-blowers from around the country who are now speaking out and coming forward and sharing what are the first-hand accounts of election irregularities. these stories are shocking, several of the whistle-blowers will join us live in just a minute. they will tell you their story played plus will highlight some of their allegations from today's hearing in michigan and the press conference in virginia. to the mob, the media
