much more insightful, you dressed up to my really spec that. >> i put my leave and everything. >> brian: i couldn't even tell. thanks for watching prime time, i was brian kilmeade throughout the hour. march the brian kilmeade show from nine to noon. to see you tomorrow nights, but ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." if you want to understand a country's military, military officers are just war fighters, their train to be thinkers, some of them have advanced degrees. in russia, officers above the rank of colonel are required to read a book by a russian nationalist called the foundations of geopolitics. the book envisions a eurasian

empire with russia at the center and outlines the way to achieve that. in china, recruits are told to history. origin and goal of it teaches that time is successful because it's culture is superior to the west. you might not agree with them, but these are serious books, and spread mount the national interests of the countries whose officers read them. with that in mind, what are american military officers meeting these days? let's see, a sub literate input on how the you united states is a disgusting moral country that must be changed immediately and forever. that is "how to be an antiracist." now that he is rich and famous, goes by his revolutionary name. at the book is garbage, it's not just embarrassingly stupid comments poisonous. any system that produces unequal

outcomes must be literate. he applies it to everything. some people make more money than the other people, the economy is a racist. there aren't enough black astrophysicist, astrophysics is bad to finish in basis. if it rains and a black neighborhood but not across town, that is why the racism. he didn't really write that, probably because he has no detectable sense of humor. that book is that militantly down. how do we respond to all of this racism? he provides a solution. the only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. he actually broke that. in other words, his book against racism promotes racism. he would think that would be a red flag for people, contradicting as it does the founding principles of the country as well as basic human decency, but no. people love the book, it's all over corporate america. you could probably pick up a

free copy at your hr department tomorrow morning if you want. the military? you can't imagine the u.s. military would assign a book like that, recommended it to every sailor in the u.s. navy. while yes, actually. on tuesday, jim banks of indiana demanded an explanation for this from the chief of naval operations. here's how it went. >> kennedy's book states that capitalism is essentially racist, and it's clear that racism must be eliminated. yes or no? do you personally consider advocating for the destruction of american capitalism to be extremist? >> here's what i know, raises some in the unit -- >> you recommended every sailor in the united states navy read this book. >> i'm not forcing anyone to read this book, it's on a recommended reading list. >> did you read the book? what part of this book is redeeming and qualifies as

something that every sailor -- >> he's critical about his own journey as an african-american in this country. what he's experienced -- >> let me ask you again. do you expect after sailors read this book that says the united states navy is racist that we will increase or decrease morale, cohesion and recruiting rights in the united states navy? >> i think will be a better navy from having open, honest, conversations about racism. >> tucker: open and honest conversations about racism? that would be nice, but it's an amusing line coming from someone to have read kennedy's book, as he says he has appeared open and honest conversations are racist, kennedy said that many times. let's say open and honestly, care more about the way people behave that in the way. you took martin luther king at his word and judge them by their

content of their character and not the color of the skin. if you do that, you are racist. the claim of not racist neutrality is a mask for racism. the language for color blindness is a mask to hide racism. a color-blind constitution for a white supremacist america. no, open honest conversations are not allowed. you admit you are a racist, or else you are super-duper racist. sounds pretty deranged, honestly. in fact, it sounds like an extremist ideology, just like the military's always warning us about. the pentagon is investigating national guardsmen who posted unfashionable opinions on facebook about the last election or may have voted for donald trump. with all their investigators running around looking into these crimes, how closely have they looked into kennedy? have they checked his social media history?

they asked that question. watch. >> in college, kennedy stated that white people are a different breed. of humans. and are responsible for the aids virus. yes or no, do you personally consider the theory that white people started aids to be an extremist belief? >> i would have to understand the context. i'm not going to -- >> this is a book that you recommended every sailor in the united states navy -- >> you can't take quotes from somebody's book, i'm not going to do that. >> tucker: do you consider the statement that white people created aids and extremist statement? i can't comment on that. [laughs] any context for that. the admiral -- the mediocrity -- will not offend the man he has just been promoting to the entire u.s. navy. that's odd, once you dig a little, you can see why he doesn't want to talk much about it.

not long ago, kennedy was invited to speak at the aspen ideas festival, a room where ideas go to die. one person dared to ask the most basic question i have all, how do you define racism? you think you would be ready for that question, but he wasn't. here's what he said. because you talked about the important of defining racism, but unless i missed it -- which is possible, i didn't hear your personal definition, is there one that you would offer us, like how do you define racism? >> racism, i would define it as a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity, that are substantiated with racist ideas. [laughter] share, a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity, that are substantiated by racist ideas.

>> tucker: so racism is a racist stuff. or as kennedy puts it, and we are quoting, it's a collection of racist polities that are substantiated by racist ideas. right. but how are we defining racism? kennedy couldn't say. if despite making a bountiful letting on the topic, he hadn't thought to how to defined the word. in a serious society, everybody listen, everyone in the room would've walked out and found something better to do, birdwatching a b. the so-called intellectual on the stage turned out to be an idiot. they should've left. they just laughed nervously, they're worried about something would happen if they pointed out that he was a fraud, they would be denounced. this is how mediocre people control entire societies, with

implied threats. to go along, or we will punish you. they don't say anything. the funny thing is, in his own book, he admits he himself is a racist. here's a definition. what democrat stood aside and let bush steal the presidency and destroyed black votes? bush's team transitioned that winter, i transitioned into hating white people. white people became devils to me, but i had to figure out how they became to be devils. it's hard to believe that admiral michael gilday has any power in the united states military, but he does. this is the man, this is the man he believes the entire u.s. navy should study. imagine working for someone like him. most people can't imagine that, so they are leaving the military. >> wondering told us that military history session was replaced with mandatory training on police or child become a white privileged, and systemic

racism. several officers are leaving the unit setting that training. some units were required to read white fragility which claims, white people raised in western society are conditioned into a white supremacist worldview. a unit was forced into a racist exercise called a privilege walk where members of the wing were ordered to separate themselves by race and gender in order to stratify people based on their perceived privilege. >> tucker: depressing if you think about it. good people driven from military service, many of them serving generationally as their fathers and grandfathers did, but having to leave now purely because of the extremist ideology of its leaders. it's crushing, if you think about it. it's also scary for all of us. we need the military. if the pentagon is essential to the survival of the country. but the commissars in the biden

administration don't care, they are not slowing down. they announce its new mission had nothing to do with space. the new mission is about applying principles in kendi's book. at the new mission is equity. >> at nasa, we aren't a mission of equity launching our opportunity. >> equal opportunity to challenge and inspire. to reach where we've never reached before. >> to use science, data and technology to advance equity. >> to shatter boundaries. >> and break down barriers across america. >> we hope you will join us on this mission. >> tucker: a mission of equity. are you going to join the mission of equity? can you define it? we know what that mission looks like, he was a commander in the space force, fired for speaking

out against the open political indoctrination he saw there. he's the author of the book -- he joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so, nasa you would think would be the one branch agency that would be immune from the equity mission. that you served in the u.s. government for a long time, were you under the impression that nasa had a problem with discrimination in years past? >> i don't know, took it to things first off for having me on your show. as always, i don't speak for the defense department, but i speak for myself. i don't think that any of our institutions at this point are immune from this idea that we are going to be pursuing equity. clearly, these are hot topics. did the talking point of the day -- in fact, i do want to define it for the american people.

i know the definition of equity. it's important for the american people to understand the difference between equity and equality. one of them is good, and the ideal appeared to be there good. we tend to confuse the equality of opportunity, and ideal, part of philosophies with equity. it's a new term, its use wittingly, which essentially means and forced out columns or enforced any quality. based out of what i've seen in the department of defense is permeating institutions across the country, and essentially potentially illegally discriminatory policy. equity is not good as it is defined, but it sounds good, that's why we use the word. nasa has historically been -- i think -- a symbol of inclusion and equal opportunity.

nasa is the kind of organization that people can look at, and understands that regardless of your background, you are able to show up here just like in the defense department, and rise up based on your marriage, and have an opportunity to make a name for yourself, to rise to leadership, and to do important things for the country. because there's a unifying mission that these institutions believe in, whether it's space exploration in the case of nasa or defending our country and our allies from serious thoughts that i have in the world. people in uniform, for example, rally around that mission, and have historically not been caught up in the kind of identity politicking that you're talking bout that i am hearing in your monologue. i will make one point to say that i think are senior leaders and our national leaders need to think very carefully about whether or not they want to inject tribalism into our long

trusted institutions in this country that typically have not been affected with tribal thinking, with all of that entails. do we really want to walk the road that will cause us to abandon martin luther king jr.'s dream of having a colorless society where, in fact, we are starting once again to judge people by the color of their skin. impugning guilt to other groups of people based on their group identity, not because of anything they've ever done necessarily themselves, but based on who they are accidentally, even. that's a good definition of racism. we don't impugning guilt to people based on the color of their skin. >> tucker: and we never showed. i always imagined the military is the shining beacon of what the rest of the country should be because it was a color-blind meritocracy. lieutenant colonel -- >> the military is great at that. that's why so many people are

upset about what they are hearing. >> tucker: and they have every reason to be. i know you are. thank you for coming on tonight. there's been a more onerous eno- there are number people in the crowd at the capitol in january 6 who had been in previous contact with the fbi about what was going to happen that day. if that happened, and we believe it did happen, it would not be out of character for the fbi. it they've done things very much like that before. that is beyond dispute. in this case, they are disputing it, not the fbi directly, they haven't said a word. the obedient minions of the national security state who run the social media accounts of "the new york times" and occupy the anchor desk at cnn. they became hysterical blooming mentioned it. you can't say that, they screamed, that's not allowed! the geniuses at 200 informed us

that agents of the fbi were just fbi informants, so shut up. hilarious. we won't shut up, and we shouldn't. i could not be more obvious at this point that the government is in fact hiding something, probably quite a few things. best to abandon theatrics and find out what they are hiding, that's our job. too many and corporate media who claim were spreading russian disinformation, instead calmly answer these three questions. first, how many of these so-called insurrectionist on january 6 had a relationship with the fbi? how many of the fbi molds encouraged others to break the law at the capital? we haven't heard anyone answer these questions or even address them, none of the protesters were secretly working with the fbi, then we were wrong and we will apologize for it sincerely. if the answer is not none, and we're pretty sure it wasn't,

people will claim otherwise are liars and tax and should leave the public stage immediately because they've betrayed their readers and viewers. two, if the justice department knew they were going to be protesters amassing at the capitol that day, and it's clear they didn't know, why didn't they do anything to stop the right? why didn't police allow protesters to walk in as video show they did? that doesn't make sense. why is no one asking that question. third and finally, why can't we see the tape for ourselves? the government is hiding more than 14,000 hours of video surveillance tape which shows exactly what happened that day. why are they hiding that? why aren't news organizations demanding to see it? you would think nbc news or vox, or "the new york times," or any of them are in fact working to protect the regime at the expense of the public.

were busting this 107 migrants were being held in there, they were all crammed together right on top of each other in this blistering texas heat, no air conditioning whatsoever. they bring them across the board to come up with them in the stash houses, cream them together, and told them there until they are ready to move them elsewhere into the united states. take a look at this photo right here. we took this when we're there. a look at the left side on the wall, they are. you'll see the letters cdg spray-painted on the wall in graffiti. law enforcement forces tell me that is of the gulf cartel, the drug cartel that operates the mexican side of the border. they can to human smuggling, drug smuggling, that is them sticking that claim on their stash house. that's not the only thing, take a look at this video we shot in the spot yesterday afternoon. we've seen this happen like clockwork every single day. it doesn't matter, these migrants are showing up by the

hundreds just in the spot in this sector every single day. if that's by florida governor ron desantis says he's going to start sending help to texas. they're going to build a border wall, governor desantis says he's going to send out law enforcement to back up texas and get some boots on the ground. because i think what texas and arizona are doing is really all they can do if they're not getting the federal support, they have to try to step up and mitigate some of the harmful impacts that we are seeing. we got the request a couple of days ago, we thought about, we got to hope. a lot of the sheriffs immediately were like, yes, we want to be involved in that. >> to give you an idea of the ongoing security crisis at the border, border patrol in this sector reporting they apprehended an active ms-13 gang member, and a salvadoran national with a conviction for third degree rate out of the state of new york. 30 minutes east of where we are.

we will send it back to you. >> tucker: really, this is on kamala harris. the funny thing is, she doesn't seem that interested in actually going to the border. when her friends at nbc news asked why she hadn't gone there, fathered two, harris didn't really have an answer. >> do you have any plans to visit the border? >> at some point -- you know, we are going to the border, we've been to the border. the sole thing about the border, we've been to the border. it we've been to the border. >> you haven't been to the border. >> and i haven't been to europe. it you know? i don't understand the point that you're making. >> tucker: may be the point he was making is, if you are in charge of it, maybe you should go see it, if only for symbolic reasons to show that you are interested. as of today, she has still not gone.

why is that? victor david hanson joins us, thanks so much for going on. is this significant that she hasn't gone? >> it's a lose-lose situation for her chucker, because the optics are all bad. the left and general believes in open borders -- citizens of the world, they don't believe in sovereignty. in particular, they look at massive illegal immigration from these people are poor, they are illegal, they become wards of the state and federal government when they arrive, and the left says, we can do those entitlements, and it worked out pretty well. the book california they flipped nevada, new mexico, they probably slipped colorado, maybe arizona, who knows? they are committed to this policy. if the only thing i could use the vernacular, screwed up, they were expecting 500 to 1,000 a day, maybe half a million a year. they didn't think the

fiscal year were going to get 2 million people. gang members, cages, cartel, now they are happening in spades. if they don't know what to do, they like the idea that there's a mass influx, they felt the media could put a hand on it. they sent kamala harris down there. i think they do it in a very cynical fashion. i think what they believe a lot of weeks about cognitive abilities came from the vice president's office. it's a toxic political situation because it's self-created, and whatever she says is going to have as much negative and positive appeal. it's kind of like being a gasoline czar right now. it's not an enviable task. i think she knows it, i'm not going to go near there. you can see why. >> and i that's very smart, it

joe biden with everything they're doing at the white house is to say he's not tough enough on russia? >> well, in 2016, trump ran on the idea of america first and ran in the idea of not being involved in foreign conflicts. you know, he was very strongly against nato, he said it was obsolete. if people haven't noticed, the country nato was designed to counter hasn't existed for 30 years. so republicans found this beneficial to adopt a lot of this rhetoric. unfortunately on policy and we have seen this time and time again, it is still basically the bush cheney party. we've expanded nato in the last few years. macedonia and montenegro, these countries have militaries that are about the size of a midsized u.s. city's police force and nobody even pretends to argue that this is -- anyway defends american interests. now you understand why democrats sort of like nato. it's become somewhat of a social engineering project.

the u.n., the state department, the pentagon is really pushing identity politics, race conscious politics in france. ideas about gender identity, gender fluidity and eastern europe and i think it makes ideological sense for the democrats to be all in on nato and the sort of transatlantic alliance and the people that try to take -- the people who are against trump within the administration on the first impeachment, the thing they were most upset about was that he would dare do what he ran on, pull back from nato and eastern europe. it's very strange though that the republicans of the same time or joining the democrats in voting for nato expansion, attacking biden just like they attacked obama for being too hawkish. they found the rhetoric of putting america first, the policy, the father beneficial. unfortunately, policywise it's the bush cheney party. >> tucker: they didn't mean it at all, thank you for pointing that out. he's not tough enough on russia? i mean, it's demented. these people...
