but meanwhile, coming up next, we have this guy named tucker carlson. he writes brilliantly. he writes all his own stuff. how he does it each and every night, i don't know. i don't want to be let down and i am going to watch the show here but i am going to get into a more casual outfit. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's joe biden's first day in office and we know what that means. cnn can finally take that covid death sticker off his screen. there's no reason for it now. it's not like you can blame joe biden for some chinese virus that escapes from a lab in wuhan. covid deaths? settle down, america. it's just a bad flu season. so bite and apparently agrees. they were seen without masks. but it's not a big deal. he was celebrating an historic

day in our country. he had bigger things to worry about. okay, makes sense. by the way, what are those bigger things that joe biden was worried about? well, since it happens to be his day on the job, we can actually answer that question with some specificity. you can tell that what people care most about is at the top of their to-do list and what are at the top of joe biden's to-do list are to call things. opening the borders and crushing our country's economic sector. that's what he's doing. first he signed an executive order revoking the promise of a keystone pipeline. no matter how you feel about fossil fuel, whether you drive a car or use the hospital, you may be dumb i want to think about how you use fossil fuels. there is no getting around economic effect of this decision. millions of americans don't have jobs right now. joe biden has put another 11,000 people out of work in this country just like that.

but he wasn't done. biden also instructed his security to a halt deportation of illegal aliens. when we say illegal aliens, by the way, pretty sure we won't be allowed to say illegal aliens because it's hate speech. but when we say illegal aliens, we mean millions of illegal aliens, not just the countless undocumented. this doesn't apply simply to them. biden's order also includes criminals. other people who are dangerous to you and me. so the message is clear. you can break our laws. you can commit violent felonies once you arrive. joe biden will reward you with amnesty. that goes to show how much he means it and he will do it on his very first day as a president. so why after seeing that

statement every person in the pn the world when it sneak into america? joe biden himself explained that when he first started running for president. >> we can afford to take in a heartbeat another 2 million people. the idea that a country of 330 million people cannot absorb people who are in desperate need and who are justifiably fleeing oppression is absolutely bizarre. absolutely bizarre. i would also move to increase the total number of immigrants able to come to the united states united states. the one we can afford to take another 2 million people in a heartbeat, explained joe biden. are we getting a lot richer? have you done the math on that, mr. president? how exactly did you calculate those numbers? can we see them? unfortunately we can't see those

numbers. joe biden is all closer to a religious leader than an accountant. that's why he unveiled a bust of cesar chavez. are easily impressed friends in the media were needless to say easily impressed. they saw the gesture of racial solidarity or something. he signals a new era for latinos, activists hope read a totally real headline in "the washington post." it's all pretty hilarious if you know anything about cesar chavez. chavez, the man. the real cesar chavez passionately hated illegal immigration. he said so all the time. he never stop saying it. immigration lowers the wages of american workers. that's the whole point of it, of course. cesar chavez wasn't well educated but he was not stupid. he understood exactly what was

going on. he was enraged by the efforts to open our border with mexico. he knew it was a corporate scam posing as human rights. when the government refused to close the border, cesar chavez's men did it themselves. they formed what they called a human -- across the southern desert and brutally assaulted mexican nationals trying to come north from work. that happened for real. that's the guy joe biden just told us he reveres. no one in central america believes that, believes joe biden has any idea who cesar chavez is. all they know is that amnesty has been announced so of course they are coming. why wouldn't they? >> what do you want for your people? >> what i want for my people, i just want patients that we can get to the u.s. because they have a new president, biden.

he's going to give us 100 days to get to the u.s. and give us a paper so we can get a better life for our kids and family. >> tucker: 100 days. that's better than most americans. he is going to help all of them. and they are right. all of us includes people like -- he was arrested in this country for sexually assaulting a minor. so does juan hernandez rodriguez. he is a self-described gang member with felonies. he has been ordered removed from this country 5 separate times and he is staying. so is another convicted gang member. also rodriguez. he was also convicted to manslaughter along with arm driver a. when joe biden tells you the

real threat from our country comes from within, these are not the real people he's talking about. he certainly not talking about garcia. like millions of people in california, garcia is living in this country illegally. he has been arrested multiple times for violent crimes. the state of california has allowed him to stay in order to not seem racist. then finally, inevitably in november, this happens. >> had san jose transformed into a horrific crime scene in what the mirror says was a preventable tragedy. >> multiple system tragedies led to this moment. >> police say fernando lopez use the knife to stab five people at baptist church which was serving as a homeless shelter. to quote people, a man and a woman were killed. officials say he should not have been out on the streets. >> tucker: it was a failure of multiple systems. no, it wasn't.

our system works. we just don't use it. it was a failure of will. it was our country perverted by bad ideas. destructive suicidal ideas. immigration laws exist to keep things like the thing you just saw from happening. in a typical 100 a period like last year, for example, federal i.c.e. agents remove 46,800 immigrants of pending convictions for criminal charges. that's a lot of people. 46,000. they sound like they are trying to operate a restaurant in new jersey. they are not criminals. they are civil rights heroes. one thing is for certain, they are definitely not aliens. and that's another thing we learned about this week. the biden administration demands that federal agents referred to illegal aliens as noncitizens. it's way less racist, so is

better. less than a year ago he kept forgetting and was still using the wrong term. >> there are certain things you cannot report an undocumented alien, an undocumented person for. >> tucker: undocumented alien. oh, sorry, undocumented person. that was close. at 78, he narrowly avoided a moment of white supremacy on television. rest assured, joe biden is careful with his language. he knows in the name of unity, people should not be allowed to use certain words or have certain thoughts. everyone must think exactly the same thing all the time. now, if that seems like mandatory conformity to you, no, it's unity. and that's why the biden administration website, you can now select pronouns as you fill out the contact form. bigotry has met its defeat on the website. we do have one nagging question

though. what exactly is the point of these things that have been done in the last 24 hours? well, any of the changes some of these things joe biden has enacted on his very first day in office actually help any living american? we are pretty sure that the pronoun thing will allude to any unhappy people. talk about a war on nature. that's very exciting. congrats to them. but what about everyone else? how does amnesty and the waves of mass illegal immigration that will inevitably follow make this a better more united country? i'm not supposed to ask that question but it's totally fair for the rest of us who live here. we have a right to know. how does this make our country better and more united? anyone who tries to answer that question, not that anyone has so far, but anyone who does should first have to explain whatever happened to the state of california, the state with the most illegal immigration so far.

how in the course of a single generation did the best state become the worst state? how did a state that people desperately want to move to become the place where millions of people are fleeing? honestly, what is the answer to that question? it did come up. here is how a white house press secretary responded to it. >> immigration, we consider as part of racial equity and part of which is a broad issue. but that's how the president has spoken about that crisis over the past several months and clearly it is an enormous priority to him. >> tucker: so there you go. that's the answer, i guess. the bidens administration plan is not designed to improve the united states of america. it is not intended to make america happier or richer, or more secure, or more united. now you might think those would be the aims of every government

policy always. but no. not in this case. the point of joe biden's immigration plan is "racial equity. now, we've got to be completely honest with you and say that we are not exactly sure what that means. unfortunately nobody asked. in the coming weeks we are going to do our best to find out. it is our government policy in matters and we are about to find out. it sounds a lot like punishment. mass immigration, explains joe biden, isn't something that will make your life better. it's something you deserve. ryan joins us tonight. i'm just so struck by this, ned. people have debates on what is good for the country are not good. i think honest people will disagree. i've changed my view. i have never seen an announcement without any reference of all their affect on the american population. that's not even up for discussion whether it's good for us. we are doing it. >> that's right, no, because

it's very clear from their actions that the american people are not even an afterthought. they are clearly not a priority .was the point of calling yourself a sovereign nation if there is no enforcing the borders, if we are just going to tell the world feel free to come and literally hop on our social welfare program, which are failing, by the way. the other amazing part when we talk about importing low skilled workers every month into our country. what are we going to do when they are out of work, when their jobs are automated? throw them onto our social welfare programs? the american people are going to get taxed more, draconian taxes. you are going to be wards of the state before you know it the amazing part in all of this, tucker, is that nobody in d.c.,

republicans or democrats even want to ask the question why did trump win? oh, i don't know, maybe because he stood up and said hey, here's a shocking concept. why don't we actually prioritize the american worker and the american taxpayer to promote their interests and policies? nobody wants to ask that question. >> tucker: you don't even hear it. you don't even hear it raised. i mean, if you cared about the country, and no matter what your voting history was, you would say that it's a pretty volatile time in american history and we actually could have real unrest. maybe radical change is not a good idea right now. maybe we shouldn't change how we vote or change who lives here by the millions every night. that could break the country. i haven't heard one person say that. where are the liberals of goodwill and good faith patriotic liberals saying let's just settle down for a second. where are those people? >> do they still exist? serious question, tucker. i'm not sure they actually exist

anymore. the left has completely taken over the democratic party. you made a good point. the fact that biden made immigration, killing the keystone pipeline, removing the mexican city language that now uses taxpayer dollars to fund overseas abortions, and oh, by the way, an order for biological males to play on girl's teams and be in their locker rooms. none of this has anything to do with any of the american's priorities to actually how do we get back to work? how do we stop the stupid lockdowns? how do we go back to normal? they have taken over the party. there aren't any rational liberals left inside the democratic party and if they are, they've been silenced. >> tucker: i don't think there's a single server you can find, a real one, that shows any of those issues on the top list for anybody. only the super unhappy activists groups whose livelihood depends on pushing for this.

>> but the amazing part is each one of those issues actually goes after the pipe workers. they endorsed biden. he cost them tens and thousands of jobs. all of the stuff with a biological male, it's going to hurt their daughters athletic careers. these are the people that voted first between one. what were you doing? >> tucker: he's following the orders. it was great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we are against obviously violence and terrorism since the day the show went on the air. but we told you that we were pausing deeply on this administration's definition of domestic terrorism and what effect it might have on your ability to live in this country. brad schneider lashed out at us and accused us of supporting death and killing for raising those questions. we asked him to come on the show

♪ ♪ >> tucker: when the rest of the media and many in congress are either ignoring or making excuses for the riots we saw for months in this country, we came out on the air almost everything the night. on january 6th was political violence on the capital. one thing that we oppose every bit as much is the destruction of civil liberties that make this america, make this a country would want to live in. now, that point used to be uncontroversial, particularly on the left. but now, outside of a handful of principles, we see far left figures. none of the self-described liberals in the congress will say this out loud. instead they are moving in the other direction of high speed. democrats are looking for a new surveillance state using that as a pretext for creating a new secret police force.

not making this up. we told you about this last night and we mentioned specifically a number of a congressman.he would like to g called -- as you hear his reply, ask yourself, is this the guy you want in charge of preventing domestic terrorists? here's how he responded. "do i want to see increased monitoring at the types of extremists leaving five people dead including up please officer? absolutely. the real question is why tucker carlson is okay with their deaths." right. so if you have questions about handing brad schneider the keys to your country because he demands that you do after the insurrection on january 6th, then you want people to die and maybe you need your civil liberties taken away. we'll see.

now, if this all sounds familiar, it is because every time something like this happens, creepy little demagogues like brad schneider rushed to the microphone and say i'm sorry, you can't be free anymore. it happened after 9/11. 9/11. what does that have to do a january 6th? it seems like kind of an odd comparison. in fact, so disproportionate that it's laughable and offensive to the three people who died on 9/11. in the same briefing where brad schneider and another member of congress, a former fbi agent said we must adopt the same attitude toward domestic terrorism that we had toward al qaeda after 9/11. >> when you look at what her response was to 9/11, we said never again. we created a secretary position in the cabinet, the department of homeland security. we took a lot of steps to make

sure that we were going to say never again would we experience something like 9/11. we need to have that same never again attitude toward domestic terrorism. because both are a threat. >> tucker: what? who is this guy? why is he in congress? who cares. that's insulting. what happened on january 6th was on videotape. you saw it. to compare that to 9/11, if you are saying that with a straight face, you are a liar and you have an agenda. a lot of them do. he admitted that the domestic terrorism prevention act is just the beginning. there's a lot more spying to be done, he promised. >> this is the first step in a long procession of actions we have to take to make sure we address the issue of other americans terrorizing other americans in this great country.

>> tucker: yeah, okay. the first step, a long procession of action. okay, let's just be completely clear. unlike many of the people you see colleen for a secret police force to be created, we are against all political violence. but no matter how much of it occurs, we are still americans. we have the right to say whatever we believe period. you cannot abridge that right. we have a right not to be spied on by our own government for having political opinions that people in power disagree with period. and anyone who tries to take those rights away is a far greater threat to this country than any one who showed up on the capital on january 6th period. everybody should say that because it's true and it would be true if the roles were reversed and another party was -- dolomite. it doesn't matter. these are unreadable undying principles that form the basis of american history and culture. and when they cease to be at the center of our nation, you ought

to leave because it's not were living in a country like this. well, if you thought joe biden's inauguration meant the end of fascism in this country, i've got some bad news for you. it turns that fascism is highly alive and well. last night in portland seattle, and t for members again attacked starbucks. [gunshots] police made more than a dozen arrests. one person wearing a collapsible baton. so, this looks a little different from what we've seen earlier in the year. maybe that if the democrats run

everything they won't be so pro -- he joins us tonight with a prediction on that. it's good to see you. >> good to see you. >> tucker: by the way, i'm in favor of cracking down on violent groups like antifa. has the response changed? >> it looks a little more aggressive than we have seen in the past. the question is will they keep up with it. you've had seattle and portland pushing back against the police for being too aggressive. we had a case just last night with one of the arrests where the person who apparently told police that he admitted to breaking into the starbucks and was just released by a judge on his personal -- they are not taking this seriously outside of these arrests, which just means it's going to continue, and continue, and continue. you have this conversation about the democrats saying that they want to root out domestic

terrorism and they are focusing on white nationalists and militia right wing-ers. we have a group of domestic terrorists who plot openly on twitter, not parlor, but on twitter and facebook. they self identify as antifa. they have a flag. they have a uniform. they all dress exactly the same. and they have a radical ideological perspective. if you want to root out domestic terrorism, you go after antifa instead of pretending that it's a mythical group created by the right or simply an idea whose ideas are so, so, so damaging that buildings end up collapsing once they utter them. it's absolutely ludicrous. >> tucker: at some point, i would love for you to take a

camera. i hope you will come back and just get a camera and show us what downtown seattle and portland look like after months of unrestrained lunacy. i'm serious. both are great american cities and what they look like now, i hope you will come back with that. jason. >> absolutely. thank you. >> tucker: well, you've been hearing about reparations for years. the name of something called equity, what does that mean? there is a new for something called voting reparations. it sounds crazy but it's possible. that's straight ahead. ♪ ♪ moving forward. they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. this is my granddaughter... she's cute like her grandpa. voya doesn't just help me get to retirement... ...they're with me all the way through it. voya. be confident to and through retirement.

>> tucker: welcome of the word of the year appears to be "equity." you are hearing that a lot. once again, equity does not mean equality. all americans except a few demented people aren't but most americans are totally for equality because god created us all inherently equal. equity is very different. equity is a pretext for racial determination. in a recent issue of "the nation," brandon hasbrouck

offered his description for equity. in the piece, he makes the piece for double counting the votes of african-americans. he calls it a form of vote reparations. thanks so much for coming on. it's such a poisonous and divisive idea. you don't even want to amplify it. on the other hand, you think, well, the things that we ignored in the past suddenly became federal law so maybe it's worth explaining it before that happens. what you think? >> oh, i agree with you 100%. in fact, i would never have even written about this in "the national review" if i had seen other people come out and condemn this. this is really insidious. this, however, is what we get when we have not allowed the kind of criticism that needs to occur for all of those voices, it's not just for hasbrouck, but

i'm talking about the biden administration. i'm talking about prominent progressives who have been saying over and over again that america is more racist or as racist as it has ever been and a denying any progress. >> tucker: it does seem, and call me naive, but i actually loved when he said it's about unity. it's about bringing the country together, remembering that we are all in this together. i couldn't love that more. but i can't think of anything that is more divisive than the idea that some people get an extra vote. isn't it obvious that would divide the country irreparably? >> i think it is obvious. but here's the question i want to ask. like those old segregationists of your, some of them went around saying they wanted to keep us separate because it was good for us. they were actually trying to

help us. others did it because they thought it was politically salient to do it. here's my question. are those advocates today doing this division on the basis of race because it's politically salient and will empower them? or did they genuinely believe that we need to separate ourselves and organize ourselves primarily on the basis of race? either way it's evil and either way it deserves condemnation. >> tucker: i agree with that. great to see you tonight. thank you. one of the reasons that people don't denounce ideas is because they don't want to talk about race. we don't want to talk about race all the time. we certainly don't. it's dumb like you would rather talk about things you can chang. no one can change their race so why are they obsessed with it? i keep throwing it in the face of the country so it's kind of impossible to avoid it. in 24 hours, biden has hit that

topic in several different ways. it barred training sessions in the federal government that amounted to racial attacks of government employees. now in the past, joe biden, you may not know the difference, by the way. he said these sessions are no more than racial sensitivity training. >> the fact is that there is racial insensitivity. people have to be made aware of what other people feel like, what insults them, what is demeaning to them. it's important that people know. many people don't want to hurt other people's feelings but it makes a big difference. >> tucker: of course that's the opposite of the truth. he is not upholding rachel sensitivity being sensitive is essential if you want to get along with other people. these are racial attacks. flat out attacking people for the way they were born. the executive order the biden

administration just undid blocked taxpayer dollars from going to the lunatics who do this who think that any race is inherently evil. that's just a lie and nothing hurts this country more. he should stop this. chris is a contributing editor. he has announced new coalition of lawyers that will fight this stuff in court. he joins us tonight. chris, thanks so much for coming on. appreciate it. so, you've been on a number of times to explain what's happening in the federal bureaucracy where people are told they have to sit there and get attacked because of the way they look. tell us how you are going to try and end this appalling on american federally subsidized exercise. >> joe biden won the election, i knew that he was going to scrap this executive order. i immediately started reaching

out and to my dismay i discovered that nobody was working on this issue and the court. so i took some leadership and recruited a team of a half-dozen legal foundations and law firms to fight this in the court to take cases, hopefully to the supreme court, that show these trainings that create hostile working environments are not racial sensitivity training but they are actually legal under the under the civil rights act and it's unconstitutional under the law. >> tucker: yeah. and so obviously so. i mean, the liberals who taught me and elementary school were always telling me don't judge a book by its cover. judge people by who they are inside. are there any liberals joining you in this effort to stop these racial attacks question works because there are. there is a breakaway of liberals who have said that critical race theory goes too far to abandon the core concepts of classical liberalism which says that we are all equal under the law. to your point that you made

earlier, equity and social justice is this idea that we are actually not equal under the law and that the government has to take it on himself to reorder society. sadly, the people who call themselves progressive failed to recognize and he parked on my progress in the past and they failed to take any action that e progress in the future. >> tucker: i agree. thank you. well, the chinese communist party was the first to learn the u.s. is rejoining the world health organization but they weren't the only ones. dr. fauci. we will tell you why, next. ♪ ♪ for veteran families, when it comes to finding and buying your dream home, we'll be there to make it happen. we'll be there when you want better rates too. or to get money for retirement. we'll be there because we work only with veteran families like yours

chinese to claim that covid cannot be transmitted. then they claimed that they were doing a great job trying to contain the virus when in fact it had already left and infected hundreds of people in the region. so no, the w.h.o. has done nothing but fail again and again and now american taxpayers should be upset that $400 million a year are going to the w.h.o. without any accountability to the organization whatsoever. >> tucker: dr. fauci must know that because it's his job. why do you think you would say something like that? >> well, he also, by the way -- he is the individual who is the most corrupt in the middle of all of this. i guess folks are part of it. they feel the need to cater to this group of people.

but the reality is we should be focused on solving the problem created by covid-19, not joining the w.h.o. to cover up the problem that this organization created. i don't know why he did this but this should make every american taxpayer upset. >> tucker: i mean, especially because we really need to trust our public health authority. this makes me not trust anything they say, which is very bad, isn't it? >> well, that's precisely the problem is that the public health authorities should be the ones giving us guidance on the best thing that we can do to defeat this virus. but instead of creating trust, all they do is create anger because of the hypocrisy. yes, this is absolutely a huge problem, tucker. >> tucker: appreciate you coming on tonight. good to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: thank you. one of the biggest publishers in the world decided to censor josh hawley's book earlier this month because he didn't like his politics. there has been a major development in that appalling story.

i think it sounds like a really interesting book and i'm grateful that someone is brave enough to publish it. what have you learned from this experience? >> i have learned that what these corporations want and unfortunately what many on the left want is controlled. they don't want unity. we hear a lot of talk about unity but sadly they don't want unity. they want control and they want you to have the same opinions, voice the same opinions, told the party line and if you don't, they are willing to use all of the power in their disposal to shut you down. that is why for those of us who believe in the first and amendment, believe in the -- can allow this to happen >> tucker: i told him directly that i am disgusted by what they did to you because i believe in free expression. i don't think you should bow to

the mob, as they did. but i wonder going forward, you found a publisher for your book what you are united states senator. presumably there are other people whose intellectual life has been snuffed out by this moment of uniformity that we are in, enforced infirmity. conformity. >> i'm very worried about it. i'm worried about folks who have small businesses, who have been threatened with boycotts. i'm worried about folks who have been kicked off of social media or threatened on social media, folks who feel like they are under siege and that is a lot of this country, tucker. a lot of the people that i represent. this is a moment i think that is very scary for a lot of people because you see the left and the corporations, these monopoly corporations working hand and glove with the left to try to silence speech on a scale i frankly have never seen in my lifetime. this is a moment for those of us who believe in the first amendment. and by the way, whatever political persuasion, whether you call yourself conservative, liberal, whatever, if you
