the same thing to america. watch. >> there is plenty of money in this world. there is plenty of money in this country. it's just in the wrong hands. i'm in a new yorker. i have known trump's a bully for a long time. this is not news to me or anyone else here. i know how to take him on. donald trump must be stopped. i've beaten him before and i will do it again. i'm bill de blasio and i'm running for president because it's time we put working people first. >> tucker: spoiler alert bill de blasio is never going to be the president of the united states. he is dumb. is he unpopular. is he almost comically incompetent. is he exactly the kind of person who should not be smoking a lot of marijuana but apparently is anyway. that's bill de blasio. the good news is he is also kind of entertaining if you don't have to live in his city. while we still can sit back and enjoy the buffoonery. there is a lot of it. he began today with his announcement video in which de blasio pledged to fight for working people while being driven by a chauffeur around the streets of new york. even cnn which has been happy to promote transparent phonies like kirsten gillibrand and pete buttigieg was not impressed. >> there is a palpable lack of excitement in the streets of new york. three quarters of new yorkers don't want him to run. one of the big problems with bill de blasio he is not showing up to work. he doesn't come in at all he comes in late. disinterested in running the america's largest big city. under water often in the polls a city 6 to 1 democrat. >> i don't have any friends excited about bill de blasio for president. >> tucker: so if you are bill de blasio, this has got to hurt, stings, cnn was supposed to be a critical ally in this race. unfortunately cnn is based in new york city and that means it's employees know exactly how incompetent at the present time their mayor is they have to weighed through pile of garbage to get to work every morning. nbc is in new york too. can you tell the way they covered his announcement, watch. >> he is not what anyone would call popular back in new york. >> last month in a quinnipiac poll 76% of new yorkers said he should not run for president. >> what do you think about mayor de blasio saying is he running for president. >> i don't know. i feel like he has a lot of stuff to do in new york city, first. >> i'm not encouraged by his policies in the city. >> about time a woman run this country. >> he should announce on the first of april. >> why is that? >> it would have been a good april fool's day joke. >> tucker: ouch. at this point if you personally are excited for bill de blasio presidency, please let his campaign know. you are likely qualified for a paid staff position. so obviously doomed everyone knows it including you would think ms. de blasio. why is de blasio running for president. the same reason he ran for new york. narcissism. smug, arrogant, utterly hypocritical and lacking in self-awareness. this is the man who announced his own green deal but then took a helicopter to the gym. this is a guy who sent cops into the subway to shoe homeless people out of the way before he rides it but let's the city drown in crash. he demands you stop eating hot dogs because they are bad but then promotes smoking weed. de blasio only person in new york who has no idea what an idiot de blasio is. totally mediocre and completely self-confident. amazing combination. less rare than you would think. de blasio is not going to be president but he will be on television for awhile. our advice stay amused. seth covers him for the city journal and joins us tonight. seth barron, is there a reserve oreservoir for this guy anywhere? >> he is from new york city. many people outside the city are more impressed by him than they are here. that's his excuse. seriously, among the top, you know, contenders for the democratic nomination, who among them has as much executive experience as he does? nobody. >> tucker: that's a fair point. running new york city is very, very hard. it's an impressive job. the point is he hasn't done an impressive job. >> he has not done a very impressive job. yes. well, he has been very racially divisive. he has -- his approach to the schools has been that the problem is that the schools are segregated. now, of course, this is not true. and the schools are only 15% white. so, it's hard to understand what he means by saying that they are racially segregated. he wants to take apart the best schools in the city, which, you know, you get into through a simple admissions test and he think that the test needs to be abolished because there aren't enough minorities in it, supposedly, although there are more than 50% asian. there has been a series of anti-semitic attacks in brooklyn which he has blamed on white supremacy and president trump even though everyone knows these are not committed by white supremacists they are committed by largely black teenagers and in a few cases like an arab taxi driver. ethically he is what ethically challenged he has run city hall like a ticket booth where his donors come in to, you know, file their donations and then his consultants come and collect them on the other end. yet, there is two people -- there is people in two different federal jurisdictions, the eastern and southern district of new york who are going to prison for bribing de blasio or people under him. this is, you know, seems pretty serious to me. >> tucker: not a good record. the quality of life problems in new york, i think, is what most of us who visit the cities in the right away. it's gotten dirty, really dirty. has he acknowledged that? >> he sort of says that it's not really his fault. and he and his wife, who are both, you know, have a very strong marxist past, they both -- they honeymooned in scas throw's cuba. they both have nostalgia for the days when new york was grittier and more authentic in the 1970s and 1980s. meanwhile he throws his hands up the subways which you see right there are filthy, that's not really his problem. that's the governor's problem. no mayor in history has been happier to disclaim responsibility for what's going on in the city. he always says look, if you don't like the subway us go, talk to the governor. if you don't like nitra blame it on ronald reagan. this is his method. >> tucker: is he a deck dents moron. i'm sorry you have to live there. seth barron, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: bill de blasio's campaign starts off haunted by a specter. the specter of death in 2014 the mayor tragically ended the life of new york's groundhog day ground dog. watch this. >> this footage from ground hog day 2014 shows freshly inaugurated mayor bill de blasio appearing to drop staten island chuck. the week after the ground hog did a few more events before being found zoo space deceased on february 9th. >> tucker: he killed the groundhog. he certainly couldn't be trusted to handle a groundhog. are we ready to put america in his hands? author and columnist mark steyn has been watching the de blasio phenomenon since the day he killed that groundhog and he joins us to answer that question. mark, great to see you tonight. are you ready to see this. >> america is going to end up like that groundhog if we survive to see a de blasio inauguration on whatever it is january the 20th, 2021. by the second week in february, we're going to be like that groundhog, staten island chuck. >> tucker: slipping out of his hands onto the pavement doing a double -- i don't know why i'm laughing. it's horrible. >> no. and i feel for staten island, chuck. because he would do a better job of running the city if he was still alive. the fact is though, fumbling the groundhog he actually fumbled the city and let it fall to the ground and he doesn't care about it. buff the thing here, tucker, is, you know, the barfa entry into the democratic primary is now so low. if you look at de blasio, all his life he has had being mayor of new york is like the third most important position in america. people like mario cuomo all their career were talked about as presidential material. de blasio switches on the tv and he sees the mayor of some town called south bend, indiana is running for president. south bend, indiana has 100,000 people, give or take. new york city has 100,000 people who are homeless. and that's actually not an exaggeration. it has as many homeless people as south bend has nonhomeless people. and from de blasio's poison, the problem for his campaign is that every single one of those homeless people on the streets of new york is polling higher than de blasio in iowa and new hampshire right now. >> tucker: how can an adult man -- i don't know how old de blasio is, he is pushing 60, i think. how can a man get that old without having anyone around him who is willing to tell the obvious truth that no, you are not going to be president. the best you can do is humiliate yourself. please stop. why is no one saying that to him? >> give me a break, tucker. that's actually the essence of presidential politics, isn't it? i mean, i don't like to mock you for that question, but there is like basically seven dozen people running for president who none of them have anyone around. beto o'rourke doesn't have anyone around. >> tucker: very good point. >> don't reboot your campaign by getting a hair cut. the essence is failing upwards here. beto is presidential material because he lost to ted cruz. de blasio is presidential material because he has wrecked new york. stacey abrams is everybody's preferred running mate because she lost by 50,000 votes in georgia but is going around and pretending she hasn't. failure is actually the critical ingredient for getting in the democrat primary. >> tucker: that's literally true. it really shouldn't surprise us in a world that's completely inverted where being a victim is the goal. it is bizarre. i wish i understood it better. mark steyn, great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: well, speaking of that world view. the company that administers the sat has a new test. it does not measure what you know. it measures how are. it's a privilege test. i will tell what you it intels after the break. ♪ ♪ the latest innovation from xfinity isn't just a store. it's a

your life like never before store. the xfinity store is here. and it's simple, easy, awesome. ♪ >> tucker: the college board is adding a new score to the sat. it doesn't measure aptitude in reading or grammar or math or any other academic subject. instead the new category is called an adversity score. it will rate students from zero to 100 based on how much privilege the college board believes they have. the formula for all of this is secret, of course. the people who came up with it know it is pure pseudo science and never withstand public scrutiny so they are highlanding it. according to the "wall street journal," the test will calculate privilege based on 15 different factors. some will draw a neighborhood statistic like the crime rate, poverty, home values, a student's high school will supply other factors like estimated curricular rigger and free lunch rate and factors that look at a student's own family factors like household income and whether both parents live at home this is a pure inversion of the intent of the sat. from the first day the whole point of the test of the sat was that your background didn't matter. devised to create as level a playing field as possible. everybody took the same test. grading was blind. it didn't matter where you came from. nobody thought the sat was going to make everyone the same. that's impossible. people are not the same. some people have natural add van tangs, including on standardized tests and always will. you can't change that unfortunately. any more than you could make everyone tall enough to play in the nba. what you can do and what you must do is ensure fairness. everyone deserves to have the same rights. everyone should have the same standards and be held to them in the same way. that's the most basic promise of america. the college board is explicitly rejecting. this on the new sat, it isn't ability that matters. it's where you rank on the privilege hierarchy. it's not hard to imagine the perverse effects on this. under the new standards if you worked hard and the married for the sake of your children your kids will be punished for that david comey is the left wing social engineer who runs the college board. you won't be surprised to know he is also the genius behind common core. he says the new standards are designed to address disparities of wealth reflected in the sat. it doesn't take a perfect sat score to guess who is going to lose under the system. it is who always loses the middle class. they have been told that america is a meritocracy, work hard, sacrifice for your kids and you will be rewarded. people like david comey know that's not true. they know it because they make the rules. they benefit from the corruption of the system. they pad their own kids' applications with phony extra curriculars make up new heritage to benefit from the jim crow racial discrimination we have on college campuses. the new sat will only increase the opportunities to game the system. for example, the college board plans to evaluate privilege based on home address. well, parents already use fake addresses to send their kids to choice public schools in many places. why won't they use fake addresses from tough neighborhoods to give their kids an advantage in college admission? well, of course they will. english language proficiency, household income, family education levels, these are all factors, too. so get ready for an awful lot of lying about those subjects as well. wouldn't it just be easier to reward the kids who note most about english and math? that's what you do if you cared about fairness or the future of your country. you would emphasize achievement over victimhood. our decadent elites don't care so they do the opposite. mcdonald is the author of the book "the diversity delusion." we are happy to have her join us tonight. heather, thanks very much for coming on. so the sat was created to prevent exactly what the new sat will ensure, which is a system where you came from matters. right? >> well, right. and i think what everybody needs to understand, tucker, is all of this is driven by the seemingly intractable racial achievement gap. everything about diversity in our culture is a surrogate for that problem. if we could close the racial achievement gap and the way to do that is by changing culture, the whole discourse about diversity would go up in a puff of smoke overnight and we would never hear about this pseudo scientific concept again. the idea it's privilege that drives sat scores and academic success generally as opposed to hard work persistence and self-discipline is completely ludicrous. we see every year in new york city that asian kids from poor immigrant background whoop everybody's ass regardless of their income levels because their families, their parents are so relentlessly focused on their students' academic involvement. that is what is necessary to close the academic achievement gap. until you get rid of the acting white syndrome, that stigmatizes academic achievement on the part of black students unless we get rid of the preferences that black students know about that sends the message that they don't need to work as hard in order to get admitted to highly selected schools overtheir nonstudent of color peers with better scores and we are going to be saddled with this scourge of diversity which is simply a way to dismantle precisely the standards that are a key to any society's success. the guy who runs the college boards, who went to prestigious schools and worked at mackenzie, of course, i'm not surprised. he must know that there is not science behind it. there is no peer reviewed science behind any of, this as you said it's pseudo science, it's made up. how can someone like that bring this to us with a straight face and act as if it's legitimate? it's not. >> well, it's too bad. the college board has actually resisted for decades the charge that the sat is simply a function of white privilege. it's not surprising. the only thing surprising is that they have held out this long the fact that he has caved and now thrown the college board in full speed ahead into the excuse making grievance industry is simply what you would expect from anybody involved in higher education in this country. so, again, all of this -- all of this is driven by the fact that there is a standard deviation of difference in sat scores between blacks and whites. a difference that is not determined by family. according to the journal of blacks in higher education whites from households that make $10,000 or less on average score better than black students on the sat who come from households making 80 to $100,000. again, tucker, this is all about culture and for the college board getting behind the idea about white privilege is completely fallacious and a tragic disservice to the country. >> tucker: it doesn't do a lot for our society at all i would say. heather macdonald. great to see you. >> good to see you, tucker. >> tucker: left has preferred new angle on attack abortion laws in alabama, georgia and elsewhere. you can just guess what it is. they are racist. women's march leader linda sarsour white women uphold the parishy and responsible for georgia's heart beat law. out of the closet racist but still taken serious for some reason. the laws perpetuate the industrial prison complex by preventing black women from getting abortions. those are her words not our words. on the left keeping black children alive is racism. aboarding black children is racial justice. matt bevin is the governor of kentucky and recently appealed a federal court decision striking down one of his state's law on abortion. governor bevin joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: what do you make of this argument? >> it is so empty. when you consider the fact that over 40% of all of the abortions performed in america are the taking of young black lives, that more black children, more blacks, period, are killed by abortion thank crime, accidents, cancer, disease, aids, every other cause of death combined does not add up to the number of blacks that are killed by abortion and for people to come out and say that it is somehow racial justice to be able to kill black children before they are even born is a remarkably empty argument. and highly offensive, frankly, to many people like myself. >> tucker: and you say that out loud. you are not embarrassed to say what you just said. so often republicans don't say that. they just sort of let this argument go unanswered. the people who are encouraging abortion in black neighborhoods are able to seize the moral high ground somehow. why? >> look where these abortion clinics are established. they are in minority neighborhoods. they intentionally prey upon minorities. the fact that over 60% of abortions are performed on people of color, this is everything that margaret sanger wanted when she started planned parenthood. she was you general miss. she preached eugenics. she wanted to see certain undesirable people were weeded out of the populist. and while they pretend they no longer espouse that that is exactly what they're doing. it is offensive, it is genocidal in many respects but we are all instructed to turn a blind eye. the reason you are sighing all of this legislation now in states across america is because the more reknow medically the more we know scientifically the more it is clear we are killing human beings who do not have any voice and people are appropriately outraged. >> tucker: even now i would argue you hear people justify industrial scale abortion, which is what we have millions of abortions over the past 40 years, justify it in ways that suggest they don't think that people in poor neighborhoods, mainly african-american ought to have a ton of kids. why is it not a racist argument? >> it a remarkably racist argue: again, it is eugenics. they can couch it in any other term they want. we passed a law here in kentucky that says you are not allowed to kill a child in the womb based on its race or based on its gender or a disability. i was immediately sued by the aclu. people in planned parenthood they think that it's inappropriate to be able to defend those who can't defend themselves. it is highly racist. target people of color. this should be an outrage to people. don't pee tend it's not what it is. blatant racism perpetrated on people who are defenseless. >> tucker: i'm sorry to chuckle. i would love to hear the conversation where you propose legislation or shepherd through legislation on kill people on the basis of skin color and the aclu says you can't do that why? >> the hypocrisy is rank. it really is. when you consider -- again, we use language specifically from existing federal laws. those -- the civil rights laws and the ada, the americans with disabilities act. we have used language already in statute in this and immediately sued by the very people who pretend to be the defenders of that language for people outside the womb why know these are human beings. we know they're being killed. we know they are wiping out entire generations of people of color in this nation. we are doing it for profit in places like planned parenthood and we're expected to turn a blind eye. and myself and governors in other states and other people are fed up with it. >> tucker: you should be. you have every reason to be. governor, thank you very much for that. >> thank you and happy birthday. >> tucker: thank you. even the richest cities

seattle, when you think of homelessness you think of major cities. the homeless crisis is not limited to big population centers. some of the hardest hit places are small cities and towns where even a small homeless population can put massive strain on public service. for the latest installment in our series homeless in america. our producer went to oregon where one small charity is fighting to improve a desperate situation in eugene. watch. our first stop in portland, obamacare wasn't meant to be work related for breakfast in upscale fashionable pearl district. when we arrived we found a homeless man rifling through a crash can in the parking lot a dirty syringe. homelessness in portland looks a lot like what we have seen in other cities. lots of tents, lots of drugs. the city's permissive culture temperate climate and generous social services attract i have a grants and addicts from around the country. we met a woman called liberty hope off cloverleaf she says she came to

because i still had treatments i had to do. >> tucker: hope says she is blessed because the city shuttles her between medical clinic and her tent. she hopes to get back to home state of montana once she is healthy again. >> how long do you think you will be here. >> i'm not too sure. i broke my foot this past winter so it kind of set me back. with my medical. but i'm a miracle so every day is a miracle. >> tucker: similar tent encampments line portland's iowas every open face in the city seems packed with people living outside and using drugs. river front park downtown receptacle for used heroin syringes. oregon is a small state but homeless people more per capita than neighboring washington or california. to get a sense of the scale of the problem, we drove to eugene in the central part of the state. eugene is a college with a politics to match. not surprisingly it has enormous homeless population. ultimately, however, even the generosity of a place like eugene has limits. on the night we arrived multiple people living in this makeshift structure. two days later the city had cleared the sidewalk and put up notices it was going to scrap the belongings inside. eugene is trying to get a handle on homeless problem but there are road blocks. a major one, a ruling by the federal ninth circuit of appeals that has declared it's somehow unconstitutional to shoe away homeless people if there is no place for them to go. eugene's leaders have responded by trying to erect tent cities on public land. one proposal envisioned homeless encampment parking lot at the center of downtown. so far those efforts have failed. a local charity called saint vincent depaul has stepped in with own solution. >> this is a mash tent. a structure that was used by the military in some of our foreign deployments. >> tucker: other cities on the west code have tried to provide housing for the homeless. usually at remarkable compensation. san jose, california, for example, is spending $37 million on a building that will house just 83 people. by contrast, saint vincent depaul's answer is simple and cheap. >> we put this whole section of tents up with a work crew in one day. >> tucker: residents are assigned a bed and given a place to store their belongings. they are expected to make their beds every day to instill a sense of pride and self-worth. the shelter is open to anyone, including drunks and drug users. those who stay get treated for addiction. the strategy essentially is the opposite of what cities like seattle and san francisco are doing. saint vincent depaul's goal is to get people off the streets and into an environment where they might actually recover. of the housing isn't meant to be permanent. saint vincent depaul tries to get residents cleaned up and ready for long-term housing in just a few months. for many the strategy appears to be working. >> what are the odds that in two years they are back on the streets? >> if they stay in programs and in association with people that are clean and sober, chances are pretty good that they are going to stay out. >> tucker: well the homeless crisis appears to be getting worse pretty much everywhere in america rather than try to fix the problem though elites prefer to attack its victims. in the city of seattle, one of the places hit hardest by this crisis, a woman has faced, believe it or not, backlash for seeking justice after she says she was raped by a homeless man with multiple arrest warrants. we will interview a documentary filmmaker who told her story tomorrow night as our
