we love maine. that's all for tonight. dvr the show. tucker is up next. always remember, i'm waters, and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening, welcome to tucker carlson tonight. we're getting a better, more precise sense of what it means when joe biden brags about the most economical recovery in history. it could be time to buy gold and stock pile food. there's a deal on russian steel case. i think i'll pick up a pallet. just kidding, sort of. banks in this country, wells

fargo, bank of america, jm morgan, morgan stanley lost $50 billion in market value in one day. that's a hit. on the other hand, those banks still exist. you can't say that for silicon valley bank. svb has gone under completely. that makes the second biggest bank failure in the history of this country. and the significant svb financed nearly half of all venture-backed healthcare companies in the united states. it held significant cash reserves for some of the biggest crip toe currencies. it's gone. federal regulators have rename it and taken it over. that means a lot of people lost a lotf of money. most of that money was not insured, no matter what they tell you. the fdic only guarantees bank deposits up to $250,000. nearly 90% of all deposits at svb exceeded that. and it's unclear if those people see their money again. in fact, when customers show up

in svb's branch in manhattan to get the deposits back, managers called the police. so, what we have there is the 1929-style bank run. that's not a good sign for anyone. the question is if they saw it coming. the ceo sold bank stock in the last two weeks. several other high-level employees of svb including chief marketing officer draper, phil cox, michael zucker, all sold significant amounts of stock in svb this year. did those employees know their bank was in trouble? we don't know. once again, where were the regulators? they were supposed to prevent this. once again, we don't know. the business press? supposed to be telling ordinary people what's happening with business. apparently nobody noticed anything. in fact, as with the ftx crip

toe scan you may recall, self-described financial experts in the media were busy promoting silicon valley bank, a great investment that would last forever. the formerly great but now quite embarrassing "forbes" magazine named svb to the list of america's best banks, not once, but five years in a row. you saw this coming. here's bs artist/dumb person jim cramer of c nbc telling his users to buy silicon valley bank, even though it was in the process of going under. this is last month. >> svb financial -- this company is a deposit base in wall street has been concerned about. recently bought one of our favorite research firms and become less dependent on private equity offerings. wait a second. they could come back. the long-term private metro capital not going away.

being a banker with these pools of capital has always been a good business. svb's nearly 40% rally this year is barely a drop in the bucket. >> svb is great. if that guy endorses anything that you're doing, move to the canary islands, change your name. because -- disaster is coming. all the geniuses told you to buy svb. what explains that? we don't know this week. hoipfully we will some day. we will know svb like the scammers at ftx had quite the public relations department. we're not so greedy finance outfit that exists solely to generate cash for overpaid sleaze balls that you run it, no, that's not us. we may be a bank. we've got the soul of an ngo. we care. we're saving the world. to prove it, a whole page on

svb's website to monitor and reduce our own carbon emissions, yes, because you want a bank that cares about carbon emissions. endless posturing because it's all free about diversity, equity, and inclusion. the managing director of svb wrote this on linked n three weeks before the bank collapsed. quote, feeling inspired and energized after hosting an extraordinary group of pioneering and dynamic women in silicon valley bank female founder and bank ski retreat. adjectives are free. she used a bunch of them. and attached pictures of the ski trip showing the bankers having a great time. of course they're having a great time. few things are more empowering to oppressed female bankers than skiing in tahoe. so, they kept this crap up to the very end. as their bank began to slip beneath the waves, svb posted

this on the social media feeds. quote, as far a women's history month, we're celebrating women-led companies like beatrices a va doe, a company svb said closing the latinx wealth gab. . gap. so now that svb has blown up and lost billions of other people's money in the proesz is, we thought we'd show you the video because we can't resist. enjoy. >> i'm the ceo and co-founder of samoa. i was born in tijuana, mexico. i'm a proud border girl who had the privilege to grow up with the best of both worlds. i went to school in san diego. i went to ucsd. i have a lot of scars from my days going across the border. i remember, i got this memo. it just said that all my shows were cancelled.

it's a time where women, never men, were put into something called the refrigerator. they felt like you had a lot of power, they put you there to cool you off for a while. >> tucker: unaddressed in the video is if she's a capable banker. we hope so. we have no idea. we know the guys at svb were not capable bankers. didn't seem to spend a lot of time banking or paying close attention because they had videos to make about dynamic pioneering glass ceiling shattering women. so, when interest rates were historic lows, svb bought more than $20 billion in long-term treasury bonds and to be fair, they were encouraged by the government to do this -- all banks were. the problem is as interest rates go up, as they were going to, because they can't stay at zero forever -- did you know that? when that happened, those bonds lost their value. and that, of course, was a disaster for a ton of banks but

a true disaster for svb and a disaster for a lot of individuals who had their money there. and companies that had borrowed money from svb. so, you can expect a lot of bankruptcies in the coming weeks due to this. and then, the countless downstream effects from those bankruptcies, all of them bad. so, this is a disaster, not just for the tech industry, people who you could easily make fun of. but for everyone, for all of us. but the interesting thing is that the biden administration doesn't seem to care at all. they're not all that interested. because numbers whether you're making or losing money or doing it efficiently or sloppily doesn't matter as long as you make videos about pioneering female bankers as long as they get to ski in tahoe. that's the real concern. this, today, biden's top economic advisor addressed reporters in the white house in the briefing room about what had just happened. she assured that everybody that the bank run we're watching is an isolated incident -- no, it's

not a big deal. just this one bank. it's not connected to anything else at all. and the fact that this bank failed, had nothing to do with the fact that people who run it spent a ton of time doing irrelevant crap that had to do with politics and changing american culture. are you reassured by that? you should know that cecilia rausch has been thinking a lot about this when she worked at princeton, a university in new jersey. ise wrote her research agenda on diversity, equity, and inclusion. the title is, we're quoting, diversity in the economics profession, a new attack on an old problem, because the color of your economist is essential. their competence, not so much. just so you know. by the way, these are the consequences of that attitude. see, south africa. where they don't have electricity tonight. coincidentally or not, that's the very same topic, diversity and economics, that our director

of the national economic council is also fixated on, another genius. when he was at the fed in 2021, she wasn't too concerned about future bank collapses due to the insane and reckless fed policy. she was overseeing. no, why worry about that? because there's climate change. that's what she was worried about. as part of the prudential and financial responsibilities, we're developing scenario analysis to model the possible financial risks associated with the climate change and assess the resilience of individual financial institutions in the financial system to those risks. pause -- anyone who writes that way is an mo-ron. moe-ron. if you find someone in position of authority, particularly in economics, who cannot right a declarative sentence, be prepared for the banks to fail. esg and equity are only part of the problem.

stupidity are a part of the problem. svb and ftx are two of several major players in the financial industry that have gone under in recent months. are you noticing this? the bank silver gate, more than 1 million in assets. crip to warrior, the $3 billion. block-fi and a number of others. on friday, wells fargo customers reported they didn't get their paychecks as expected. the bank says that's a computer glitch. we don't know. what's clear is we're witnessing something serious happening in the finance sector and in other sectors of our economy. we don't know where any of this is going. we're certainly praying for the best. we don't want to see hysteria. but if you're the treasury secretary of the united states, you'd be concerned. you'd be paying really close attention, because that's your job. but janet yellen is not paying close attention.

she's not worried about it. it's in this country. she's worried about funding the pensions of ukrainian government workers. she flew to kiev to tell us that. she's highly focused on her core duties, equity, climate change, and abortion. >> the biden/harris administration has made racial equity a centerpiece of our economic agenda. row v wade in access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion helped to lead to increased labor force participation. biden in -- i feel the same way too, believe that climate change is an existential threat that absolutely must be addressed. >> the message i bring you from biden is simple -- america will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes. >> okay, she's very upset about ukraine and we don't have enough abortions and equity, equity, abortion, ukraine, okay, got it,

got it. children hour is over. it's time for the adults. because we have actual problems. might even call them systemic problems with our economy. so, when you have those, you want smart, wise people with foresight and self-control and the ability to focus on things of actual consequence. not on the crap that occupies cable news, but on the long-term stuff that ensures the country will remain prosperous when you're gone, which for most of these won't be long because they're very, very old. where are those people? where are the adults? here we have the second biggest bank failure in american history the biggest since 2008. the second largest in our nation's history. they ear yammering on about racial equity, really? yes, they are. nobody in washington at this point acknowledges economics is real unless it can be tied somehow to climate change or racism.

here's congresswoman cori bush of st. louis. >> my colleagues unironically invited think tank and oil titans whose expertise is in maximizing profits, especially at the expense of our black, our brown, and our indigenous neighbors' health, safety, and well being. last week i joined ranking member raskin and all of my oversight colleagues to call on republicans to denounce white nationalism and white supremacy in all it's forms. >> tucker: white supremacy, blah, blah, blah. yeah, great, that's fine. peace and prosperity, you can handle some people at the helm. they're kind of amusing. they're fun to laugh at. if things go south, the dumb people have to leave. they should be replaced by the smart wise people who have some idea of how to fix things. but those people have not yet arrived. joe biden just introduced a $ up trillion budget. a budget? funding? that's money, right?

that should address the core economic concerns that every person can feel. most people don't understand it, everybody can feel it. this mentions climate change 148 times. mentions equity -- never defined, 63 times. environmental justice, 25 times. and cross dressing now known as transgenderism, eight times. feel betern. oh, the adults back? no. but it will add $20 trillion to the national debt over ten years. and that will mean more inflation and interest rate hikes and more bank failures. this could be very, very, very serious. we hope it's not. we hope it ends today in an isolated story, but it very much could be. but the leaders don't care. they seem to be doing everything they can to accelerate it. and that's not reassuring. stephanie is in an economist. she founded "macro mavens" where she is the ceo.

thank you for coming on. can you give us your coolest, most attached assessment of what we're seeing. it seems like a big deal, is it? >> i can't believe you're not allayed by listening to secretary yellen. she's got the situation in hand. i'm stunned that you don't believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are the root of a sound financial system. i mean, come on? where have you been for the last year? >> tucker: time for the kids to be quiet, let's get economists here who are not just repeating atlantic articles. this is insane. >> it is insane. the layers of insanity -- i can't believe the videos you showed of the people at svb, you know, focused on the women's ski vacations and whatnot. it's nonsense. and you're right. what we're facing right now is really serious. i mean, we are on the brink of a

2008-style financial crisis. and i'm not trying to be hyperbolic. in fact, you and i discussed this at length in our long-form interview several months ago. at the time, the fed hadn't even raised rates nearly as high as they have today. and i was saying, you don't raise rates in record fashion on an economy saying record levels at maximum speculation and expect no consequence. this was clearly going to happen. now we're seeing the weak links in the chain break. the areas where speculation was most rampant and most egregious are clearly coming down. they're doing so as they seem to do. in all of the three-letter acronyms just like they did in 2008. you know? we're back to the three-letter acronyms. and there'll be a lot more of those. and frankly, i think, you know, this is the unintended consequence of the fed's monetary policy layered with

really bad fiscal policy on top of it. but essentially, they've been encouraging people to take reckless risks for years just because you had no alternative. you could get 0% sitting in a t bill or having your money in the bank. or you could run out and you could speculate. that's what they've done. and now it's all coming back to bite them hard. and we've got some major consequences coming at us. and i think it's going to devolve very rapidly because of all of the leverage that's been built up here. >> tucker: exactly right. if you treated your children the way fed has treated wall street, your kids would be in rehab. what they've done is bad, no doubt. stephanie, appreciate your wisdom on this. >> thank you, tucker. pleasure. >> tucker: if you want to know what's happening, ignore the noise -- oh, transgender equity. okay, fine. look at the things that matter. for example, what's of value in the united states? what do we own that actually has value? well, the top of that list would

be something called the strategic petroleum reserve. and the biden administration depleted faster than any in history. they sent a lot of china. as they've been doing that, they've been attacking the american energy industry, killing keystone pipeline, banning drilling on federal land. yesterday, an actual expert called alex epstein testified we should keep our oil preserve and increase our domestic oil production. and in response to that question, cori bush, you know what she sid? did? she called him a racist. >> previously spoused white supremacy views. he came here to promolt fossil fuels which we know is disproportionately harming black and brown people. will our republican colleagues condemn white supremacy and work with us to ensure that this

committee works with us to engage in advancing good and reducing harm rather than perpetuating it. >> i have fought my entire life for freedom around the world, including in africa, asia, and india. i want everyone in the world to have the same opportunities i have in the united states. i make no apology. the idea this has anything this ho do with skin color is despicable and racist. skin color has nothing to do with ideas. >> tucker: could you respond like alex epstein? i couldn't. we're happy to have him join us. thank you for coming on and for your measured and very smart response to cori bush. the whole thing made me worry, though, because her lack of seriousness was just so obvious. she doesn't i think understand what you're saying.

>> i spent a lot of time preparing for the hearing, thinking of every counterargument possible to see if i'm wrong. what they do? they go to keen co-'s and print out a poster of something i said in college when i said freedom is superior. and they think that's racist. this is childish and embarrassing. >> tucker: you've been around the world, you looked at how other countries have collapsed. if you have people making energy policy who are that frivolous and political, that partisan, like what happens? >> look at europe, right? their response to the shell revolution, the greatest energy achievement of our time, is to ban fracking. they saw it, they said lets ban it. we have a global energy crisis. there are poor nations that can't get electricity, europe is buying up the natural gas. this should be a wakeup call. and instead these guys are using

the exact same playbook. >> tucker: it's really distressing. i appreciate again your coolness under pressure. >> i did offer them all. i gave them to you. i offered them all a signed copy of fossil future. how many democrats took me up on it, unfortunately. >> tucker: right around zero. >> i tried to hand it to representative stansbury who told several lies about me after i refuted this and she just walked away. >> tucker: i don't think they appreciate those things. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we're concerned about commercial airlines because they're prioritizing politics over safety. we have more evidence of that tonight. plus, central bank digital currency, one of the great threats to our freedom. no one seems to be i a ware this is coming. governor kristi noem is aware and took direct action to stop it from happening. at least in her state. she joins us next.

president of southwest airlines send an email. what diversity, equity, and inclusion means in flight

operations. commercial aviation has existed in this country for 109 years, 1914. a fair bet that no airline executive would have thought to write a sentence like that because it's so bizarre. whatever the merits, diversity, equity and inclusion do not by definition have anything to do with flight operations. in flight operations, all that matters is flying the plane. and then landing it safely. that is the whole job. it has to be the whole job or planes will crash. he's not a pilot. it's possible he does not know this. either way, he does not care. suarez is a political actor mainly interested in amply fieing the anti-white agenda of the biden administration. in his email, virtually ill lit rail, suarez announces the dei is now the guiding idea of southwest airlines. the word "safety" never makes an appearance. this is a huge change in the way that airlines operate. suarez seems to understand that some people who work at southwest will be nervous about

it. but once suarez has a solution. southwest pilots are not allowed to, quote, resent or question the skills of colleagues who had been promoted on the basis of strict gender base or racial base. henceforth, clients must ignore incompetence. that will solve the problem. will it? not allowing people to notice that their co-pilots are incompetent? as one veteran put it. a core tenant of aviation is ignore distractions and foster a safe flight. now the company is purposefully distracting pilots with something completely unrelated to the safety of flight. this is criminal negligence. spending millions of dollars on this when we're having runway incursions and near misses is insane. yes. it is inb sane. -- insane. we said before with both sadness

and certainty, at some point, many people are going to die because of this. unfortunately, that's threw. -- true. so, the drama in the banking sector, the collapse of silicon valley bank has a lot of americans concerned about how to protect their money. and, of course, politicians are using that concern for their advantage as always. several states are now trying to centralize currency with the so-called central bank digital currency, which is, by the way, not currency at all. it's software. but, they're going to do it for your own good. this is a tool of total social control. if they control your money, zero out your bank account with a key stroke, then you have no autonomy. they control you. well, in the state of south dakota, legislators passed a bill that would have changed the definition of money to exclude crip to currency putting the state on the path to centralize digital currency. south dakota's governor, kristi noem, the only governor we're aware of paying attention to

this vetoed that bill. she joins us to explain why. thank you for doing this. first, for coming on. why did you do it? you're under pressure not to veto. why did you? >> it was the right thing to do. i became aware of this bill. it wasn't introduced until almost halfway through the legislative session. we started to read through this bill over 110 pages long. it was sold as an update to the guidelines of the universal commercial code backed by all of our financial institutions, our banks, as we started reading through it. we saw the -- the section of the bill that changed the definition of currency. and essentially what it did was pave the way for a government-led cbdc and it also banned any other form of crip toe currency or bit coin or digital currency that existed. so, for me, it very clearly was a threat to our freedom. in south dakota, we are the session that completes the business earliest in the year. we are the first ones to look at

this bill and find out the truth of what's in it. i did veto that bill. i'm asking my legislators to change their minds and make the right decision and kill this bill once and for all. we have the same language coming to over 20 other states. i believe it's a way to pave the way for the federal government to control our currency and thus control people. it should be alarming to everyone and it's being sold as an uness cc guidelines update. there's no rush to do this. we need to be smart and make sure we're doing what we can to protect people. i find it ironic we also are having the same discussion the same time we have banks and credit card companies to talk about coding gun and ammunition in a separate code so we can track it. not only can they tie these issues together, if the government doesn't approve of what you're purchasing, if they have the only form of current stloit that's endorsed and utilized in the country, they can control how you spend your money and thus take away all of your freedom.

>> so nicely put. i don't think you're overstating at all the significance of this. really quickly, you want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt. do you think legislators understood what this bill was going to do? >> i don't know if they read it, tucker? it was alarming to me. it was over 110 pages long. they were told by lobbyists they had listened to for the last 20 years that it's fine. it's just a regulation update. this is what we do as a federal regulations. if you start reading it, you see in there there's a redefinition of currency. that it says government, cbdcs are okay if they're run by the government. but any other form then banned. it's clearly a change for how people's assets are utilized. it limits people the freedom to use other forms of currency if they choose to. and it's clearly putting power in the hands of the government. if anything we should have

learned in the last several years is that government can't be trusted. bill, tucker, what i was surprised by was the bills that made it to my desk this year, people think of south dakota being conservative, being republican -- the first bill i had to veto was a tax increase. now this has made it to my desk. we have other challenges as well. >> tucker: yeah, i hope what you've done is inspire other governors. kristi noam of south dakota, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the race stuff is out of control. no one benefits but the people in charge. the l.a. times acting on behalf of people in charge is a group for air pollution, air pollution? more on that. and, of course, environmentalism is protecting the environment. it actively destroys the environment. jordan peterson joins us next. we are the early risers. the first to arrive and the last to leave. fishing is our second nature. a way of life. and we know it's not always about what's in the net it's bonding with a buddy over a shared passion.

don't agree with the statement, "it's okay to be white," that's just awful, of course. up it's awful. why is it happening? well, in part, because the media, for the last several years, have pushed rwanda-style race hatred on the entire population. and far from getting better, it's getting worse. where does this wind up in the end, do you wonder? well, the l.a. times published a piece with this title. we're quoting -- how white and affluent drivers are polluting the air breathed by l.a.'s people of color. oh, right. we looked this up. it was written by yet another decadent rich kid that went to harvard west lake, the most expensive private school in los angeles. but here he's claiming, in the l.a. times, that just by breathing, white people are hurting others. why don't you just genocide them at this point. what is this? it's bad is what it is. we don't need to hate each other in the basis of color and the l.a. times should stop pushing

this along with the rest of the media. environmentalism is supposed to be about protecting the environment. most people are in favor of that. the environmental movement of today is nothing to do with protecting the environment. they're destroying the environment. killing the california condor with their wind projects and whales and basically wrecking africa with all of the elements needed for their new battery revolution -- etc., etc., etc. it's not about the environment. it's some kind of weird cult around climate. and who better to assess a cult than jordan peterson who is a famous psychologist and author. we asked him about what is happening recently. here's the conversation that resulted. >> oar thank you so much for coming on. just begin with the premise of modern environmental movement doesn't seem to be doing a lot for the actual environment, that's my observation. what do you think that's about?

>> i think the best example is sri lanka and germany. sri lanka is an absolute wasteland at the moment as a direct consequence of idiot, environmentalist policies. germany is much more expensive. it's much more unreliable than it was. the germans the dangerously dependent on the dictators and the russians. it's a consequence of hypothetical environmentalist policies. even by the standards laid down by the environmentalists themselves, the policies that were put in place that were pro environmental were failing. but there's something that's even deeper lying underneath the surface. alex epstein made a fair bit of this in his new book, fossil future. but i delved into this when i wrote maps of meeting. it's become clear as a consequence of converging evidence from a lot of

disciplines, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and literary criticism, all bed foal lows and more scientific humanities involved in the convergence in those, that the structure in which we see the world is essentially a narrative, it's a story. and, so, and in fact i asked the world's greatest neuroscientist a month ago on my podcast that even if our object per he exceptions were microstories. he said that's the case. he's speaking as a scientist, by the way. if we see the world through a story, what should that story -- what is that story and what should it be? and what are the fundamental elements that the story has to contain? and, so, the environmentalists offer us a story to live by. it's a pseudoreligious story and it elevates the biosphere, the earth, gaia, the earth goddess

to the status of primary deity and characterizes her as a waif-like innocent victim taken advantage of and fragile. it casts the entire human endeavor on the social front as a raping and pillaging patriarchal monster only interested in power and it casts that character as a drought riding on the back of that giant, essentially. that's the depiction of the world. we can reek environmental havoc. social structures can become power mad, and we can be carelessly consumerist. but it's an incomplete story. it demonizes in a very pathological manner. so, when you hear people say things like human beings are nothing but a cancer on the face of the planet, or there's too many people for the -- on the planet for the earth to feed, let's say. then, you're seeing reflections

of that underlying pseudoreligious narrative. and it's extraordinarily dangerous. now, the reason that you can see that in ways, it's a religious structurraer than an a careful attempt to grapple with the full realities of the world is that it has these odd features. so, for example, the environmentalists tend to radically oppose nuclear power and also natural gas. and it's clear in the case that there's nothing that reduced carbon production more effectively than nuclear power. that's -- i don't think anybody with any sense ever debates that. and it's also clearly the case that if we were careful with nuclear power and we could be, because we've been building nuclear plants for a long time, that we could be providing extremely low-cost energy to people, especially poor people, throughout the world. but we are not going to do that. in fact, we have an anti-energy policy in place, especially in any places that are ruled essentially by the left. and the consequence of that is,

well, i just -- i saw today, unicef just released a report showing there's been a 25% increase in the last year and a half. in the number of women and children that are starving around the world. it's a direct consequence of the increase in energy prices which are in themselves a direct consequence of anti-industrial policies put in place by hypothetically well-meaning diluted pseudoreligious environmental worshippers of the apocalypse. it's an appalling situation. and it's -- it's likely to get worse, i would say, before it gets better. >> tucker: not cheery, but probably true. well, in canada, a catholic school is punishing one of his students because he dared to believe that men and women are different. he dared to be a catholic in a catholic school. he joins us next. ♪ -i say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. -i don't feel any different. -i don't need you to feel anything to do great things.

pay attention to canada. it could disappear and it wouldn't make the nightly news

here. it how could a nice country become so totalitarian so quickly? are there lessons for us? a high schooler has been arrested for declaring men and women are different. josh alexander attended st. joseph's catholic high school. he was barred from school from the grounds from saying that god created two genders, because that's kind of a christian preaccept, and also common sense. when he showed up for class, police arrested him. you can see it on your screen right now. we thought it would be worth talking to him. we are. he and his lawyer join us. thank you for coming on. joish, first to you. you were arrested? because you showed up on campus at a catholic school for saying that men and women are different. have we overstated that? >> no, that's exactly what happened. there was a lot of steps that it took to get to that point. but, female students complained to me. and they said they were concerned because males were using their washrooms. this turned into a debate at the

school. and i stated my opinion on it. i used scripture to back that up. they removed me from the building, for the remainder of the year. and when i attempted to attend class, i was arrested and charged. >> tucker: did you point out this is is a christian school with a core christian idea because it's in the christian book which some call the bible. >> yeah, absolutely. i tried to have that discussion with my administrators. they refused to do so. >> tucker: mr. kitchen, my apologies, by the way, on what happened to your great country. what's your recourse legally in canada? >> well, it's limited, of course, because our institution is much weaker. and because there seems to be culturally and legally much less respect for individual rights and freedoms and much more interest in, you know, government having the kind of power to do what he wants. there is recourse to the ontario

human rights commission in this case. so we're going to file a complaint to ontario human rights commission. and there's recourse through the board itself through appealing these disciplinary decisions and we hope to explore that as well. >> tucker: fidel castro's son takes over your country and it becomes cuba? shocking. the police officers who arrested you, a high school student for quoting the bible in a christian school must have been ashamed of themselves, i hope. did they seem embarrassed? >> i wouldn't say so. i've had a lot of experience with police in the last couple of years through the freedom convoy and other events like that. and the police state is quite embarrassing in our country. so, there's no different response from them. >> tucker: are you going to continue high school? >> i'm going to try to. i would hope that my personal beliefs wouldn't exclude me from an education. but it would appear that's the way it's going to be. >> tucker: unbelievable story. i hope you'll both come back.

thank you. josh alexander, james kitchen. we'll be right back.
