>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT." IT'S FUNNY HOW NO ONE REALLY COVERS "THE BIG STORY." INSTEAD THE NEWS MEDIA BRING US MINUTIA ALL THE TIME. CART LOADS OF IT. A MIDDLE AGED PROFESSIONAL GOLFER HURTS HIS LEG IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND NETWORKS GO WALL-TO-WALL. THEY GAVE HIS CAR CRASH MORE COVERAGE THAN THEY GAVE THE BOMBING OF SYRIA, LITERALRY. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER SOME WEIRD FAKE DUCHESS FROM L.A. GIVES A BORING INTERVIEW TO OPRAH AND WE STOPPED THE PRESSES. THAT'S ALL WE TALKED ABOUT FOR DAYS. MEANWHILE, SOMETHING LEGITIMATELY MOMENTOUS HAPPENS AND IT'S CRICKETS. JUST YESTERDAY FOR EXAMPLE TWO SITTING MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY OPPOSED THE ENTIRE FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS LAW AND THEN PROCEEDED TO ATTACK THE CORE PRINCIPLE, THE MAIN PRINCIPLE OF OUR COUNTRY. SOME PEOPLE ON TWITTER WERE SHOCKED BY IT BUT OTHERWISE YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT HAPPENED. BUT IT DID HAPPEN. TAMMY DUCKWORTH OF MINNESOTA AND MAZIE HIRONO OF HAWAII PUBLICLY INFORMED THE WHITE HOUSE UNTIL THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PUTS MORE PEOPLE THEY LIKE IN POWERFUL JOBS, THEY WILL REFUSE TO CONFIRM ANY WHITE NOMINEE. QUOTE, I'M A NO VOTE ON THE FLOOR ON ALL NON-DIVERSITY NOMINEES DUCKWORTH SAID OUT LOUD WITH CAMERAS ROLLING. I WILL VOTE FOR RACIAL MINORITIES AND I WILL VOTE FOR LGBTQ. BUT ANYBODY ELSE, I'M NOT VOTING FOR. JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT OR UNCLEAR ON THE MEANING, DUCKWORTH SAID THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN MAZIE HIRONO BACKED HER UP. HERE IS HIRONO YESTERDAY ON MSNBC. >> TAMMY'S POSITION IS THAT UNTIL SHE GETS A COMMITMENT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE THAT THERE WILL BE MORE DIVERSITY REPRESENTATION IN THE CABINET AND SENIOR WHITE HOUSE ADVISER POSITIONS, SHE WILL NOT VOTE TO CONFIRM ANYONE WHO DOES NOT REPRESENT DIVERSITY. SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT PITTING ONE DIVERSITY GROUP AGAINST ANOTHER. I THINK THIS IS A WELL ARTICULATED FOCUSED POSITION. AND I AM PREPARED TO JOIN HER IN THAT. >> >> DO YOU THINK THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN ADEQUATELY RECEPTIVE TO YOUR FOR MORE DIVERSITY? >> OBVIOUSLY NOT, OTHERWISE TAMMY AND I WOULDN'T BE TAKING OUR POSITION. BE WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO BETTER. >> Tucker: TALK ABOUT STOP THE PRESSES. HERE YOU HAVE TWO ACTUAL U.S. SENATORS ANNOUNCING IN PUBLIC THEY WILL DENY JOBS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE WRONG SKIN COLOR. THAT'S NOT NEWS? OH, YES, IT IS NEWS. THOUGH MAZIE HIRONO AND TAMMY DUCKWORTH MAY NOT REALIZE IT'S NEWS. ARE HIRONO AND DUCKWORTH NEITHER ONE COULD CARRY A DINNER CONVERSATION. NOT EVERYONE IN CONGRESS IS STUPID OR OBLIVIOUS. CHUCK SCHUMER CERTAINLY ISN'T. THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MISSES NOTHING. CHUCK SCHUMER HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE TELLING US THATIGH VOLUME THAT RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IS WRONG WHICH OBVIOUSLY IT IS. THEN THIS WEEK TWO OF HIS COLLEAGUES GO ON TELEVISION AND DEMAND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. WHAT DID CHUCK SCHUMER THINK OF THAT? CHUCK SCHUMER DIDN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT IT. NO ONE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DID. THESE ARE MORAL PIGMIES SOME OF THEM WOULD SELL THEIR KIDS AND SOME ARE RACE HATERS PROBABLY AND AGREE WITH IT. WHATEVER THEIR MOTIVES ARE, THE FACT THAT THIS HAPPENED IN PUBLIC AND NO ONE IN POWER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AS IT DID, SEEMS LIKE A TURNING POINT IN OUR COUNTRY. SO TO RECAP THE MOST BASIC PRINCIPLE WE HAVE, IT'S THIS: ALL AMERICANS HAVE AN INALIENABLE RIGHT GIVEN BY GOD GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION TO BE JUDGED SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY ON THE BASIS OF WHAT THEY DO, OF WHAT THEY CHOOSE, NOT ON THE BASIS OF THEIR RACE OR THEIR GENES OR WHO THEIR PARENTS WERE. PERIOD. THAT IS THE ENTIRE PROMISE OF OUR COUNTRY. IT'S WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT. IT'S WHY PEOPLE MODIFY HERE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. IT'S WHY WE ARE A SELF-GOVERNING REPUBLIC BECAUSE EVERYONE IS EQUAL. IT'S ALSO BY THE WAY IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING ELSE FEDERAL LAW. IT'S WRITTEN DOWN. WHAT MAZIE HIRONO AND TAMMY DUCKWORTH DID IS NOT SIMPLY MORALLY REPUGNANT, THOUGH ONCE AGAIN IT IS MORALLY REPUGNANT IT'S ILLEGAL. TITLE OF THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OPENS THIS WAY, QUOTE: NO PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES SHALL ON THE GROUNDS OF RACE, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN BE EXCLUDED FROM PARTICIPATION OREN BE DENIED THE BENEFITS OF OR BE SUBJECTED TO DISCRIMINATION ANY PROGRAM OR ACTIVITY RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, END QUOTE. YOU CANNOT DENY AN AMERICAN A FEDERAL JOB BECAUSE OF HIS RACE. THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW. IT HAS BEEN AGAINST THE LAW FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN GOVERNMENT HIRING IS A CRIME. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE. IT'S ON THE WALL OF EVERY BREAK ROOM IN EVERY OFFICE IN THE UNITED STATES. IN FACT, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT MAY BE THE MOST FAMOUS LAW THAT WE HAVE. BUT, THEN, AS NOW, MANY PROMINENT DEMOCRATS OPPOSED IT. CRITICAL RACE THOSH IS NOT A NEW IDEA DESPITE WHAT THEY TELL YOU. IN 1964, A THIRD OF SENATE DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. AND ONE OF THOSE WHO DID WAS A MAN CALLED ROBERT BYRD. BYRD WAS A STRIDENT SUPPORTER OF EQUITY OR AS IT WAS CALLED AT THE TIME JIM CROW. IN 1944, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, ROBERT BYRD WROTE A LETTER TO THEODORE BILL BOW, A FELLOW DEMOCRAT WHO REPRESENTED MISSISSIPPI IN THE SENATE. BYRD WAS UPSET THAT THE ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION WAS GIVING FEDERAL JOBS TO PEOPLE WITH THE WRONG SKIN COLOR. ROBERT BYRD WAS THE TAMMY DUCKWORTH OF HIS DAY. QUOTE: I SHALL NEVER FIGHT IN THE ARMED FORCES WITH A NEGRO BY MY SIDE THE, BYRD WROTE AMAZINGLY. RATHER I SHOULD I DO A THOUSAND ISN'T A TIMES OLD GLORY THAN SEE OUR BELOVED LAND OF OURS BELOVED RACE AMONG GULLS THROW BACK TO THE FROM THE WILD. THAT'S REAL. ROBERT BYRD WROTE THAT AT THE TIME HE DID WRITE IT, BYRD WAS WORKING AS A RECRUITER FOR THE KU KLUX KLAN VERY MUCH THE YALE UNIVERSITY OF THE TIME. THE SOURCE OF SO MUCH POISON IN OUR SOCIETY. TWO YEARS LATER, BYRD WROTE TO A WELL KNOWN CRITICAL RACE THEORIST CALLED JOEL BASKIN WHO AT THE TIME SERVING AS THE GRAND WIZARD OF THEIR BELOVED ORGANIZATION. QUOTE THE CLAN IS NEEDED TODAY AS NEVER BEFORE ROBERT BYRD WROTE AND I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE REBIRTH IN WEST VIRGINIA. IT'S NECESSARY THAT THE CLAN BE PROMOTED IMMEDIATELY AND EVERY STATE OF THE UNION. WILL YOU PLEASE INFORM ME AS TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF REBUILDING THE CLAN REALM OF WEST VIRGINIA. END QUOTE. THAT'S REAL. ONCE AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER HE WROTE THAT LETTER, ROBERT BYRD ABANDONED HIS CLAN CAREER IT NEVER PAID WELL. INSTEAD HE DECIDED TO RUN FOR OFFICE AS A DEMOCRAT. ROBERT BYRD SERVED IN THE CONGRESS FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS. WHEN BYRD DIED, DURING BARACK OBAMA'S FIRST TERM, THE ENTIRE LEADERSHIP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAME FORWARD TO SLOBBER OVER HIS MEMORY, INCLUDING AMAZINGLY BARACK OBAMA HIMSELF. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE THE UNITED STATES SENATE WITHOUT ROBERT BYRD, SAID HILLARY CLINTON. BYRD WAS NOT JUST ITS LONGEST SERVING MEMBER HE WAS ITS HEART AND SOUL FOR MY FIRST DAY IN THE SENATE, I SOUGHT OUT HIS GUIDANCE HILLARY CLINTON SAID. AND OF COURSE SHE DID. QUOTE, WHILE SOME SIMPLY BORE WITNESS TO HISTORY REMARKED A EMOTIONAL NANCY PELOSI ROBERT BYRD SHAPED AND IT STROVE BUILD BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR US ALL. BILL CLINTON WENT ON THE LONGEST. BIDEN DESCRIBED ROBERT BYRD VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE ONE OF MY MENTORS. HERE IS JOE BIDEN CELEBRATING WILLIAM SHAKER SPEAR AS HE MENTOR. >> WHEN I LEARNED OF HIS DEATH I WAS ON ANNER RAND FOR PRESIDENT IN CLEVELAND, AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, TO PARAPHRASE THE POET, WE SHALL NOT SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN. MR. LEADER, WE'RE NOT GOING TO LOOK UPON YOU LIKE AGAIN. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO ASK GOD TO BLESS YOU BECAUSE HE ALREADY HAS AND I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. >> Tucker: OH, BUT YOU ARE THINKING THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND BIDEN PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER THAT WAS WAY BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2010. WHEN PEOPLE JUST DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER. THEY THOUGHT THE KU KLUX KLAN WAS SOME KIND OF HARMLESS FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION LIKE THE ELKS OR THE ROTARY. RIGHT. THEY KNEW. UNDERNEATH IT ALL THEY NEVER REALLY DISAGREED WITH THE CORE IDEA. ONLY THE COLORS HAVE CHANGED. THEIR EXISTS IN THE DARKEST PARTS OF HUMAN NATURE THE EXTINCT OF FORMER MOB AND ATTACK PEOPLE FOR HOW THEY WERE BORN. FEAR OF THE OTHERS IS WHAT SOCIOLOGY JUSTS CALLED FEAR OF REVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY. WHEREVER IT COMES FROM HOWEVER YOU DESCRIBE THIS PHENOMENON IT IS REAL AND A GRAVE THREAT TO AMERICA. THIS IS ENORMOUS COMPLEX AND, YES, DIVERSE SOCIETY. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE IN COMMON WITH EACH OTHER APART FROM THE FACT THAT WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. 350 MILLION PEOPLE LIVE WITHIN THE BORDERS OF THIS COUNTRY. MOST OF US CAN'T LEAVE. SO WE HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER. IF YOU WANT AMERICANS TO LIVE PEACEFULLY WITHOUT HURTING EACH OTHER, YOU HAVE TO TREAT THEM AS INDIVIDUALS. NOT AS MEMBERS OF WARRING TRIBES. YOU HAVE TO GUARANTEE THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE SAME, THE IDENTICAL OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AND LIVE AND GO TO SCHOOL. AS WELL AS THE SAME, THE IDENTICAL JUDGMENT UNDER THE LAW. A QUALITY UNDER THE LAW. YOU CAN'T JUST ANNOUNCE THAT AMERICANS OF CERTAIN COLOR CAN'T HAVE JOBS. IF YOU DO THAT, THINGS WILL TEND TO FALL APART VERY QUICKLY. WE FOUGHT A WAR OVER THIS ONCE BY THE WAY. 700,000 PEOPLE DIED. AND IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO THAT ALL AMERICANS UNDERSTOOD THIS OR PRETENDED THEY DID. BUT THEN A NEW GENERATION OF ROBERT BYRDS TOOK CONTROL OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND DARK AND PREEMPTIVE FORCES HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED. YOU SEE THEM EVERYWHERE. YOU HARDLY NEED TO BE REMINDED OF IT, BUT HERE IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE FROM YESTERDAY. THE NATION MAGAZINE THE FLAGSHIP PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN LEFT RAN A PIECE WITH THIS TITLE, QUOTE: I AM NOT READY TO REENTER WHITE SOCIETY. NOW, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A HARVARD LAW GRADUATE CALLED ELLIE, HERE IS THE OPEN QUOTE I HAVE SAID HERE AND ELSEWHERE THAT ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE BENEFITS OF THE PANDEMIC IS HOW I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXCLUDE RACISM AND WHITENESS GENERALLY FROM MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE. OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE, OF COURSE, STILL HAD TO INTERACT WITH WHITE PEOPLE ON ZOOM OR WATCH THEM ON TELEVISION OR WORRY ABOUT WHETHER THEY WOULD SUCCEED IN REELECTING A WHITE SUPREMACIST PRESIDENT. BUT WHITE PEOPLE AREN'T ALL IN MY FACE ALL THE TIME. I CAN MORE OR LESS ONLY DEAL WITH WHITENESS WHEN I WANT TO. WHITE PEOPLE HAVEN'T IMPROVED. I HAVE JUST BEEN ABLE TO LIMIT MAY EXPOSURE TO THEM, END QUOTE. THAT'S SOMEONE WHO WENT TO HARVARD LAW SCHOOL. THAT IS NOT NORMAL AND IT'S NOT HEALTHY. IT IS OPEN RACE HATE AND IT'S THE BEGINNING OF ACTUAL DESTRUCTION. AS WITH SENATORS HIRONO AND DUCKWORTH, NO ONE IN POWER SAID A WORD ABOUT IT. SO, NATURALLY, EXHIBITIONS LIKE THAT ACCELERATE AND BECOME MORE DANGEROUS. LAST WEEK A CORPORATE OWNED WEBSITE CALLED THE ROOT PUBLISHED A KIND OF TERROR MANIFESTO WRITTEN BY A "NEW YORK TIMES" CONTRIBUTOR CALLED DAMON YOUNG. >> THE TRACK BEGINS LIKE THIS QUOTE WHITENESS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS. IT SHORTENS LIFE EXPECTANCIES IT POLLUTES AIR, CONSTRUCTS QUILL LIB BRIM IT DEFICIT STATES FOREST AND MELTS ICE CAPS CONSCIOUSNESS AND IT KILLS PEOPLE. SO WITH THAT ESTABLISHED THAT WHITENESS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS FORCE IN THE WORLD, YOUNG WRITES THIS QUOTE WHITE SUPREMACY IS A VIRUS THAT, LIKE OTHER VIRUSES, WILL NOT DIE UNTIL THERE ARE NO BODIES LEFT FOR IT TO INFECT. WHICH MEANS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO LOCATE IT, ISOLATE IT, EXTRACT IT, AND KILL IT. END QUOTE. AND KILL IT. YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF, WHERE IS THIS GOING, EXACTLY? ARE LET'S
Is this really news?
True, the UK has been pushing this chit for years. Is it white guilt or an honest desire to level the playing field so everyone lives in a shithole?
