tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson today. we are in reporter mode tonight, here was some key stats on your government. here they are. 42 days into the administration, still no solo press conference from joe biden. that is the longest stretch assignments from any new president in at least a century. refusing to speak directly to the media, joe biden is attacking our most cherished democratic norms, even cnn is complaining about it. we would echo those complaints, if we really cared. honestly, we are just as happy that joe biden remains in seclusion. imagine a full press conference
9:01 pm
from joe biden. an endless hour of blank spots, mumbling, his wife interjecting with the right answer. how depressing would that be? it's one thing to know your country is being led by a guy in cognitive decline, it's and i see it. and i don't want to see. we got a taste the other day when one shouted this as biden shuffled by. what did you learn from your classified briefing on border security? that was the question. joe biden's answer? a lot. that was it. do you believe him? it did it joe biden really learn a lot? now or anytime in the past five years question mike as we said, the whole thing is too sad to watch. we are happy to listen to joe biden's plaques, they hold the press conferences now. in the last month, his mouthpieces had to explain why he bombed syria, what he blocked the passage of a $15 minimum wage, white dr. seuss is racist, and then in their spare time, joe biden scribes produced an awful lot of presidential proclamations. they are heavy on the proclamations in washington these days, a lot of
9:02 pm
proclaiming. joe biden's very first was entitled in the executive order on advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government. this was the doctor that introduced the administration's new equity plan, which is going to come and we are quoting, eliminate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for people of color in underserved groups. that's quite a mouthful, what is mean? has anyone asked what it means? or did everyone in washington graduate from yale and intuitively understand sloppy meaningless words like that? it's possible. the rest of us might like to know what a systemic barrier is, and how joe biden plans to eliminate it. that is easy, with equity of course! that raises a whole new question. what exactly is equity? how is it different from a quality? of quality being the central principle that this country was founded on. the first thing to know about equality is its design to challenge power. equity, by contrast, is designed
9:03 pm
to protect power. equity is what the british monarchy had, equality, is what the american colonists wanted. equality is what allowed andrew jackson to rise from childhood better property where he was born in 1867 and make it to the white house. andrew jackson was tough, smart, and energetic. he lived a remarkable life and americo rewarded him for it. that's equality. equity is the opposite. equity is what allowed kamala harris the privilege child of 28 phds to stay privileged. in the end, become one of the most powerful people on the planet despite having achieved nothing impressive or worthwhile over the span of 56 years. if andrew jackson and kamala harris, both democrats, one of the child of equality, the other the child of equity. that is the difference in a nutshell. to recap, a quality challenge is
9:04 pm
power power. that principle has never been on starker display than in the case of the teachers unions, which are some of the most powerful institutions in america. you're using the term equity to justify their own prerogatives as they hurt the week, in this case, school children. last night we told you what the president of the los angeles teachers union, and equity promoter called sisley cruz. for months, parents whose kids need education and los angeles have been begging to open the schools. how has she responded? by demanding that those parents shut up immediately. those parents, they she explained, have the wrong skin color. unlike teachers who can get never get fired, those parents have privilege. it's because some voices are being allowed to speak louder than others. we have to call it the privilege behind the largely white wealthy parents driving the push for a
9:05 pm
rush to return. their experience of this pandemic is not our student families experiences. >> tucker: calling out the privilege! says the lady who could never be fired from her job, no matter how she acts, including like that. never mind the hundred% increase in suicides among school-aged children, she is not interested in that. if she is interested in equity, which means she is interested in protecting her own unearned privilege by attacking people below her. what do the parents and children being attacked -- even think to ask because she didn't care. they stepped up and asked himself but here's what they said. >> it's almost like minority families want the school to open more than anybody else. the reason i say that is because education for us, for all culture, it's just their way out of poverty. every day that our children are not in school, that's a day
9:06 pm
closer to poverty for them. >> tucker: le mark freeman coach as a youth football team called the l.a. rampage peered he told vilma lujan that every parent he spoke to wants his or her kids back in class. if these parents are not racist, they just want their kids educated. >> most of my kids before the pandemic we had 80% on a roll. now, since it has dropped about 20%. most of my as and b's kids are getting c's and d's. >> tucker: purely because the most privileged government workers in the united states won't have to work an entire generation of children is being destroyed. if that is equity, the strong hurting the week and calling it justice. i've known who thinks about this for just a moment knows that it's true, and that's why you never hear equity debated -- or even to find. if they want to find the time because they can't defend this definition. instead, they believe the
9:07 pm
population into silence. the teachers unions are doing that right now. "the daily caller" has obtained a recent email sent by someone who identifies himself as our old bert lowe, an employee at the los angeles teachers he knew. there's one that works at the union, but we haven't confirmed he sent the email in question. this email was addressed to a mother who was publicly called a couple of times for reopening schools in los angeles. at the email from the union, apparently, demands to know what race she is. i'm working on a research project on who speaks and union issues and coding for race and class. you are quoted twice in the last eight months in the paper, could you tell me how you racially self identify, or point me to a citation on your identity? what could possibly be the point of this? seriously? why is a parent or child skin color relevant in any way to
9:08 pm
what is supposed to be a medical question, whether the public schools reopen? of course, there's only one point to this. it's racial intimidation. we saw you complain, toasty race. how is that not a violation of our civil rights law? of course, it will never be prosecuted or even criticized by anyone in power because the teachers union is doing it, and they are doing in the name of equity. the hunt for white supremacy justifies all, including injuring children and scaring their parents into silence. it's not just happening at schools, we are seeing everywhere in our society right now. he writes in the spectator, also on the board of advisors have a new organization called the foundation against intolerance and racism. we are happy to have them on to make him a thank you so much for coming on. you must've noticed, and i know you've written about it extensively, virtually every debate of significance over things that actually matter, schools reopen, how do we respond to covid, our economy,
9:09 pm
all of them immediately at the direction of those in power go to race, why is that? >> wright, tucker. i think it's important to be sensitive to the fact that race does sometimes correlate with other factors, like the quality of your house, the exposure to pollution, your public safety, your income. the problem is, why are they using a middleman to correlate for that instead of going directly to that? why not directly addressed the needs of those who are poor, sick, those who are not well off, who have public safety problems. the reason why is because it's often used as a tactic or two of elites to flatten the universe, to pretend that everybody who is of a certain skin color is of the same social status and have to be deferred to. let me give you an example, your viewers should play stomach pay close attention to what's happening in alabama. there is an amazon warehouse, port place, third of the population is in poverty, they are trying to unionize. it jeff bezos is telling us abot black lives matter, he branded his website that way, he donated
9:10 pm
his money that way. that, his company is doing everything they can toot crush that union. this is a workforce that's 85% black, right? he's not talking about poor people's lives matter, he is not talking about working-class, he wants to talk about race because he wants to distract from the fact that there are rich people of every single race out there, right? his greatest fear is the same fear of old time george wallace, for we don't mike white people, poor black people, there's a difference between them, and sometimes different challenges, but they are also all poor. if they have more in common with each other then they with jeff bezos. >> tucker: that is such a wise point. why does no one say this out loud? why don't you ever hear people raise their hand over poor people? i'm not poor, there's no self interest involved, why does no one say the poor is being oppressed? they don't actually want to help
9:11 pm
the poor, i'm sorry to conclude. >> there was an interesting study came out a few years ago that show something like half of the top editors and reporters of "the new york times" come from a small batch of elite colleges. these people, i think, often see themselves as victims through their gender, through their racial status, but they have very little interaction or engagement with working-class people, poor people, people who are dying in homicide spikes, which is why crime is not talked about even though it's a huge concern if you pull poor people in every race. he see a structural tilt in our country towards an upper-class elite, which increasingly is a racially diverse elite, but doesn't help the poor person in alabama talking about the symbolism of dr. seuss or to be talking about diversity equity and inclusion, when you're not talking about redistributing actual power, which in this case could be in the form of getting those people in alabama a union that gives them wages they can
9:12 pm
improve their lives. unfortunately, elites have played on a very proud tradition of civil rights to divide people, rather than for them to address their economy, not only racism, but economic inequality and larger issues we're facing. >> they have rightly referred to the goal of equality and the goal of equity is completely different. i appreciate it, good luck with your new effort. >> think you. >> tucker: in the name of equity, schools already for this country celebrated black history month. at one school, a student dared to praise the work of candace owens in their presentation. that didn't go over well at all. at that student joins us to tell us what happened, and what it means, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

9:18 pm
circulated: candace owens, a racist. julian saville joins us now to explain what happened. i appreciate you coming on, it must be weird to be doing this, you are brave to be doing it. to tell us what happened at your school. >> think you for having me on. i picked candace owens to present for a black trailblazer that i admired, and i stated why i admired her, and i admired her hard work within the black community. i received an email that morning of my presentation that it was disrespectful of me to highlight her as a black trailblazer, and she stated how she believed candace was racist and had done absolutely nothing for the black community. >> tucker: [laughs] presumably you picked candace owens, not necessarily because you agree with her, but she's demonstrably strong, independent minded, she says what she
9:19 pm
thinks -- she's kind of the person that we teach our daughters to be. did this teacher explain how candace owens was racist? >> no, it was the student to said that candace was racist, and that's all she said in the email that she's racist and she did nothing for the black community, she never went in detail to explain why. >> tucker: i bet she didn't. how did the school itself, how did the administration respond? >> the dean of students arranged a zoom meeting with me and the student to had addressed at this in an email. she apologized personally to me, me and my family requested that she apologized in the same format that she attacked me, through email, which they did not want to do. >> tucker: they being the school not wanting to do that? >> yes, sir. >> tucker: why? >> i'm not sure, they just thought an apology wasn't
9:20 pm
necessary to be addressed to the group that she sent the email to. >> tucker: what lesson has he learned from this? candace owens, black history month, she's obviously black. she is well known, she is playing the role in american culture -- i can see why you thought she would be allowed to. now that you've been through this experience, what have you concluded? what have you learned? >> i think i've learned that experiences like this cannot make me be silenced and other conservatives be silenced, and back down just because administration or other students will attack you and call you racist. i think it was just at the biggest lesson to me was to not be silenced and not back down, and to keep sharing my opinion, and being vocal about what i believe. >> tucker: wow. i think i'm -- i'm glad for you
9:21 pm
that you had this experience, he learned the best lesson of all, nothing matters if you're not strong enough to say it out loud. julia, i appreciate you coming on tonight, thank you. >> thank you. if this be when democrats won everything in november, really in january, they controlled thee federal government. the last thing they want to do is have another real election. if so stalled that possibility, they're trying to add millions of new voters to the roles who they believe will be loyal to them. now, they want 16-year-olds to vote. heard anything more cynical this week question probably not. we're here to assess the whole picture, what are they doing and why? plus, unlike you, illegal immigrants are allowed to travel anywhere and everywhere in this country. no one's worried about them spreading covid. being shut down in the virginia, the state doesn't like his politics. he joins us in a moment to say what happened to him. we will be right back. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: the first thing joe biden did was promised unity, that's something every american really wanted, let's bring the country back to get there. at is, did joe biden mean it? look at what he's done, that answers the question very clearly. in its first two months in office, joe biden has pushed a series of policies, they're both unpopular and deeply divisive, perhaps one of the most divisive policies any president could push. he thought, what can i do that's the most divisive thing, you would force girls sports teams, he would hand out money to farmers based on their skin color. he would completely open our southern border and change the composition of the united states without taking a vote on it. today, democrats pushed another policy that no sane person wants, it's hard to believe, but it majority of house democrats voted to lower the voting age to
9:28 pm
16. should they be voting? the measure ultimately failed, thank god, but the fact they raised and voted for it, the majority tells you, they pointed out the democrats don't want 16 or 17-year-olds charged as adults when they commit murder, but they are fine with letting them vote. they can't have guns, but they can shoot the president we thought we would invite him on tonight and ask him what he's telling him why he has picked the most divisive policies up front? what are we watching here? >> it occurred to me that biden had led to two democratic disasters, when clinton elected, they lost 54 seats and we became a majority for the first time in 40 years, when obama was elected two years later, they lost 63 seats. i think what they've done is a
9:29 pm
very calculating, and i think cynical ploy, which is, they've given up on keeping the house. what they are doing, is ramming through everything they can get done before they lose in 2022. it's kind of a sprint to radicalism, even though it's going to cost you. do you look at these votes in the house, you got 30, 40, 50 members, who are not going to be able to go home and defend them. they won't be able to explain it. i think the biden-harris model is, we're going to lose the house anyway, we might as well grab everything we can while we have the power. it's astonishing. just take the $1.9 trillion political pork bill, which is not a covid bill, only 9% of it is covid. the other 91% is political pork. that bill has more radicalism in it than the eight years of clinton and the eight years of obama combined. you're going to see wave after wave -- i described it as a
9:30 pm
flood tide of radicalism. >> tucker: i have to wonder, your analysis makes total sense, and he ran us out, you know how it works. i wonder the motive behind the things that they want. they want the stuff they want up front, that makes sense. all of the things they want to hurt the country in measurable ways. we are energy independent, they want us not to be. they want to totally destroy our control over the border, they are letting for nationals unimpeded with covid. why would you want these things? >> i just did a tweet this afternoon, saying the problem with covid in texas is biden's illegals. we decided to call them, they are biden's illegals coming in the country, no public health check, in the back and 1880s, we had public health checks if you came to america. tucker, i really admire your show come i think you are remarkably transient and your insight. i want to offer you a thought.
9:31 pm
they don't want to protect your america. they want to create an alternative america to the america of racial deep in equality an antiwhite and, by the way, anti-asian basis. it's in america which transgender dominates christianity and judaism. they want to pass a bill to create a permanent machine just like california, chicago, new york. so when you and i talk about, why would they do this for america, it's because they really want a radically different country. they realize, they really despise america. >> that's not democracy as we've defined it at all. i appreciate your analysis. thank you. >> tucker: tens of thousands of small businesses, the ones working right in the margins are
9:32 pm
still closed because of the coronavirus lockdown. meanwhile, as we just alluded to, the biden administration is allowing for nationals here illegally, who are infected with the coronavirus, to travel wherever they want. fox news is -- is reporting 108 coronavirus positive migrants in texas have hopped on buses bound for the interior of the united states, it's insane, and getting no coverage. she admitted the white house is just issuing guidance, which everyone is ignoring. because their cases are being adjudicated, testing for covid-19 is down at the state and local level. our guidance, regardless of status is testing positive for covid-19, or experiencing covid like symptoms is isolate, social distance, wear a mask. >> tucker: and that's what's happening with foreign nationals breaking our laws by being here. do whatever you want, we won't be too tough on you. what about you? an american citizen who paid
9:33 pm
taxes and obey the law? he's not here illegally, he's the president and ceo of the intercollegiate studies institute. at the virginia department of health checked on his conference this week. why did they do that question like they don't like his politics. thanks for coming on, tell us what happened to you. >> thinks tucker, 72 hours before annual collegiate network student journalism conference, which brings together some of the smartest, most courageous young reporters from campuses like stanford university, university of chicago, and until vail college for a weekend of educational formation and career development. we received news from our hotel, that the local department of health in alexandria, virginia, in response to an anonymous hold complaint, someone called allegedly expressing concern about the safety of the attendees at our conference, in response to that complaint, and eager and willing bureaucrat
9:34 pm
complied, and reclassified the educational program as a social event, and all social events are limited to only ten people, effectively canceling our student journalism conference this weekend. >> tucker: and what kind of country under eight, do we punish people based on anonymous complaints, and b, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with actual medical guidance, are there other conferences going on the same weekend? >> tucker, there've been conferences week in and week out in northern virginia and throughout the state of virginia. we were willing and eager to comply with all of the local and state covid health guidelines. if that didn't seem to be enough. this had nothing to do with public health, but how to do with, there was someone who clearly did not want this event to happen. if they didn't want our young, courageous student journalist
9:35 pm
interacting with some of the editors of the most major conservative obligations in the country. they went out of their way to get us canceled. we refused to let our student journalist to be canceled. working to find another city. i won't say where, but another city and another value that welcomes free speech, welcomes freedom of assembly, and welcomes civil discourse across a variety of perspectives. i'm hoping our problem will be resolved by the end for the week. america has much bigger problem with canceled culture on the end if we don't address it now, and if we don't bring together people from across the political spectrum to say enough is enough, we're going to destroy this country. >> tucker: that's for sure. kevin, there are still free states. federalism is our last resort. i hope you find your way to one. great to see you tonight. >> thanks, tucker. >> last night we told you they're going after dr. seuss, not because he was a racist, but because he wasn't, because he
