Program. Equity is the organizing principle of the United States. On the day he was inaugurated, joe biden signed executive order 1395 that makes equity mandated across the federal government. Strangely neither joe biden or anybody else in the administration has ever defined the word. So what is equity . Tonight finally we know what it is. Equity turns out is racism. Its as simple as that. Equity is racism. To be clear, we dont mean racism in the since that ice cream and shakespeare and math are supposedly racist or that dr. Suess is now considered a cyclops in the ku klux klan, were not talking and the ilhan omar definition of racism. No. We mean racism in the literal sense, in the way that Martin Luther king defined the term, which is the act of hurting some people and helping others on their race. Bigotry, prejudice, hatred. Thats what equity is. We know this thanks to Lori Lightfoot, mayor of chicago. She said equity and inclusion are the north stars of this administration, lightfoot explained. Then she got specific on the occasion of the twoyear anniversary of my inauguration of this great city,ly provide exclusively oneonone interviews with journalists of color. So in equity, shes refusing to grant interviews to lightfoot to white people. She said many people are talentand hard working but unfortunately as she said white nonetheless. So there it is. Plainly as anyone has ever said it out loud. White people are disqualified because theyre white. Not because of anything they done or said or think. Lori lightfoot doesnt care about that. Shes not interested in what these white people might be like as individuals or people. She doesnt care what kind of white they are. Ancestors could be from italy or finland or spain. They could be members of the British Royal family. Could be penniless immigrants on a box on a sidewalk on michigan avenue. Rich or poor, doesnt matter to Lori Lightfoot. All that matters is theyre white. All white people are the same. Theyre defined by the color of their skin. You can see how this makes life easier for Lori Lightfoot. She know whose to hate by looking at them. If some day the Chicago Police round up the entire population of the city, Lori Lightfoot would have no trouble pulling the right ones out of line for punishment. In case youre wondering, that was a nazi reference. It was deserved. Lori lightfoot is a monster. Any society that allows politicians to talk like this has an ugly future ahead. Very ugly. Of course, nobody said anything about what she said in her manifesto. Even chicago reporters, some of whom can no longer do their jobs because of how they were born around up tepid complaints. Listen to this person from nbc. Another reporter called and said, im hearing theyre only talking to black or brown journalists. What . This doesnt sound real. So i reached out to the communications director. She texted me back and said yeah, thats true. She said no, white reporters have been in the room for the majority of the year. Its time to hear from other people. Tucker what . Is this real . What you heard is confusion and not outridge. Lori lightfoot is a dangerous bigot. Lori lightfoot is hurting other people because of their race. Thats the crime. Its the one thing that nobody wants to say out loud. Heres the response from a reporter at the chicago tribune. Im a latino reporter whose presence was requested today. She said we respectfully cancelled. Politicians dont get to choose who cover them. Talk about missing point completely. Of course politicians can choose who they talk to. All of us have that right, thank god. What politicians cannot do under any circumstance is attack an entire group of citizens on the basis of their skin color. That is racism. It is immoral, it is illegal under countless state and federal laws. Were not supposed to allow behavior like that from our government. Were all equal in the eyes of the law. Were all citizens. Weve got an entire granite monument on the National Mall in washington promises that we wont behave that way again. We will never allow it. Because weve embraced equity, were not allowing it, were encouraging it. Meanwhile, how is chicago . The city of chicago is crumbling under Lori Lightfoot. Murders jumped to 50 . Hundreds more dead, many young people, children, most of them black. Is that social justice . No, its not. Its no ones definition of social justice. Lori lightfoot doesnt want to talk about it. Theres 50 members of the city council in chicago. Theyre called aldermen. One has pressed Lori Lightfoot to explain what shes doing to the city. Raymond lopez is a democrat. He represents the 15th word, which is overwhelmingly nonwhite. Raymond lopez cares about his constituents so in january he raised an obvious point with the mayor. Maybe crime is shooting up in chicago because chicago is a sanctuary city, not enforcing federal law. How did Lori Lightfoot respond to this . Shes called him a racist. Being an immigrant or refugee is not a crime. Alderman lopez and napolitano, shane on you. Spirited debate at the heart of our democracy is not the same as using racist tropes and xenophobic rhetoric to promote yourself on the backs of others and demonize them. Tucker calling for an elected official to follow federal law is a racist trope, according to Lori Lightfoot whose city is falling apart. Were proud to have Alderman Lopez join us from chicago. Thanks so much for coming on. So i sense a theme here. When asked youve been in this position a number of times. When asked simple questions about governance, why are you doing this, heres the consequences, she whips around and makes it a racial issue and dodges the question. Am i imagining this pattern . Youre not hallucinating, tucker. The race card has been pulled out more times than i care to remember to try to deflect from her efficiencies as being mayor of the city of chicago. As you played in that clip, she herself said that nobody should use racist tropes as a public official. Yet here she is doing that today. Creating a controversy to try to stir up racial fears in our city targeting the media is now the enemy of what is wrong with the social ills in our city. Tucker it goes without saying, this is such a familiar game. If its any other group, is it ever acceptable for an elected official supposed to represent all people that are equal in the eyes of the law to say i am hurting people, preventing them from doing their jobs because of their skin color. Like what the hell is this . Why isnt anybody saying anything about this . The hard part is when this came out yesterday. Many thought it was a joke. Like a bad onion headline. The pay i dont remember will only talk to people of color. Whatever her point was in trying to highlight the need for diversity and media, maybe honorable, but it got totally lost in her messaging, the way she was handling this, showing a clear disconnect between thought and action. That has been the highlight of her two eyes. I think its very telling that if shes discussing two years in office, the ability to think and act has eluded her as the controversy that she herself created yesterday. Tucker so how is chicago doing under Lori Lightfoot . The question of competence might be the most important question. Is chicago improving . No, i think, tucker, to put it bluntly, shes very incompetent and it shows. She failed this city the last two years. Granted shes had to deal with a pandemic but weve all been in this together. All trying to work together. Shes failed it every turn, to bring people in and to unite people. Her abrasive style has been seen not only with the media, not only with members of the city council or even her own department but now shes trying to pit communities and people of the city against each other. With these kind of discussions and these kind of tweets. More importantly, shes spent an entire day trying to defend, articulate and define what she meant yesterday. Meanwhile, just on my way to the studio, i had two shootings in my ward in the last hour. Shootings continue in every neighborhood on michigan avenue. Yesterday someone was shot. Another carjacking. None of that is a part of the discussion except for the racist whiteness of chicago media. Tucker you talk to her a lot. Youre one of 50 aldermen. Shes the mayor. Youre on city council. Does she seem aware of the fact that for most people of all colors, the threat of getting shot may be kind of the defining fact of their lives . Does she seem worried about that, working to fix it . Sadly i think the disconnect with what her reality is, guarded at her home versus the other reality in the neighborhoods of chicago is not one in the same. Recently we saw with her emails, shes clearly not aware of what is going on in the community and what appears to be her reality with the truth. She questions motive and what the angle is, she questions why shes being told these things that shes never heard before. It comes off in the way she does her policies because nothing she produces or suggested has any impact in improving the quality of life that we have in our city. Tucker yeah, i noticed. The clip that we played where she talks to you and another alderman and says youre racist. I dont know if you have any white people in your ward. You have a lot of immigrants. I have a lot of white ethnics from europe, high polish and lithuanian. All of us understand that you cant have people coming into this country that do not love this country and are only here making more problems. Tucker cant have people come here that dont love the country. That is putting that on my fridge. Raymond lopez, the hope of chicago. Thanks very much. Thank you, tucker. Tucker its sad for people that love the city of chicago. People should. Its an american city. A great place in a lot of ways. We talked about the murder rate. We talked very little about the physical fit. Chicago is infested with rats. One chicago Animal Shelter is releasing feral cats to get the rats under control. Orkin has named chicago the rattyest city in america. They have the cats at work program, feral cats that prefer to be socially distance. They wont thrive in a home environment. The cost ranges from 600 to 800. Tucker so the shelter is for a fee placing two to three cats outside of businesses and residences that call for help with rats. Seems inspired. Does it work . We wanted to talk to someone that would know the answer. Jordan reed is a rat wrangler. He said dogs would be more effective. Mr. Reid, thanks for coming on. Before you get to your preference, dogs over cats, ferets, describe about the rat problem. I dont know much about it. Im on the west coast. I get a lot of calls inviting me to come out. Tucker thats the point. Youre 1,000 miles away. The city of chicago thats how desperate they are by the norway rat problem. When you hear of people releasing feral cats to keep rats under control, you chuckle to yourself, dont you . The ignorance. A little bit. Feral cats are wellknown for the problems that they cause the native species. Theyre not known for catching rats. Tucker yeah, by the way, anybody deeply familiar with feral cats would know that. What would you recommend . Well, i like to promote the use of dogs. Im wellknown for my workout here in california and oregon. The use of terriers as well as dealing with the management problems that is creating the rats. Tucker terriers as they were called in great are britain so long ago, ratting dogs. How many rats can a welltrained ratting dog, a terrier, take out in the course of an evening would you say . I often take my dogs out three or four hours but to farm locations. Ive caught in excess of several hundred with three or four years adult dots. Tucker do you let your dog eat them . No, sir. Just in case of poisoning. Training to drop is one of the first commands that they learn. Tucker so like a bird dog. You dont eat the quail. You drop it at the feet of you remember master. I just go around and collect them after theyre dead. Tucker what do you do with them . We give them to falconers or compost them. Tucker nothing is wasted. Use the whole rat. I like that. Last question. What do your dogs think of it . How proud are they after killing 200 rats in a night . I would answer that question by saying the reason i have chosen this as my fun activity is because im embracing the true nature of the dogs. Its my belief that this is in the nature of the animal. Because i like terriers, i have to give them an activity. Tucker i love that. I love dogs, too. Thanks for coming on tonight. Hope you come back. Thanks for having me. Tucker so chicago, great city though it is, has a lot of problems. Not just rats and a racist lunatic mayor. We traveled to the city for a deeper look into the crisis there. We got many hours, hundreds of hours of never before seen Surveillance Footage from the city. Some is too shocking to air. What we did assemble on Tucker Carlson originals. Heres a clip. Of the looters that faced prosecution, they had a pretile release. Very demoralizing for our residents to be told call 911 when you so i crime happening. Only to see the same criminal be arrested and released within 24 hours. Tucker thats a documentary series on fox nation. Theres more. We spoke to Kirstie Alley at great length. The interview came out this afternoon. If you cant be happy without drugs, if you cant then it starts making you crazy. I felt the glimpse of what real insanity was. Not what me being crazy kirstie at a party. I wasnt playing. I couldnt control feeling kind of insane. Tucker Kirstie Alley turns out to be a really interesting smart person and very fun to talk to. Apparently former President Trump was watching and put out a statement about it. Well show you an extended preview of our conversation just ahead. The cdcs director was out with a stunning admission about where the coronavirus came from. In the end, the truth emerges. Well tell you what she said next. Which shows will you be getting into tonight . How bout all of them. Netflix. cause xfinity gets you really into your shows. When one burns for someone who does not feel the same. Daphne, lets switch. From live tv to sports on the go. Felix at the finish you can even watch your dvr from anywhere. Okay, thats just showing off. You get all of this on x1. So go on, get really into your shows. You need a breath mint. Xfinity. Its a way better way to watch. Tucker well, the director of the cdc made a remarkable admission about where the coronavirus likely came from. Trace gallagher has that story for us tonight. Hi, trace. This back and forth with louisiana senator john kennedy and the cdc director is enlightening because it illustrates a significant shift. Dr. Fauci said they have to see if it originated from a lab in wuhan. Last year he knocked down that theory. Today Rochelle Walensky was asked her thoughts on the origin of the virus. Watch. One of the possibilities . One of the possibilities that most coronaviruses that we know of are origin that have infected the population generally come from an animal origin. Are there any other possibilities . Certainly a labbased origin is one possibility. Labbased origin. Liberal media maligned that theory as baseless and political mostly because former President Trump and Robert Redfield all said the evidence was compelling and should be investigated. Even the director general of the who went against his own team and said china needs to provide answers. Breaking today, republicans on the how Intel Committee say theres significant circumstantial evidence that the virus came from a lab in wuhan, including that in the fall of 2019 several lab workers got sick with covidlike symptoms. Bottom line here, tucker, the Wuhan Lab Theory is gaving steam and supporters. Tucker amazing but not surprising. Thanks, trace. More than a year they lead about it. They lead. They attacked us for saying it. Theyre not the only ones. Andrew cuomo lied about nursing home deaths in the state of new york. Media organizations didnt cover that story. Instead, they said that ron desantis was manipulating data. They had evidence to prove it, a whistleblower that worked at the Florida Department of health. Rebecca jones claims she was instructed to delete data on covid deaths. Over at cnn, Andrew Cuomos brother treated her like a living oracle. I want to bring in former Data Scientist for the Florida Department of health, cofounded the covid monitor. Why do we keep closing down schools when the rate is so much lower than it is in the rest of the communities, like new york city, they just hit the 3 mark. The schools are. 17. Why shut down our schools . Youre saying i have the facts wrong. Part of the reason for shutting down a School System is to prevent the case rate from getting higher. If you allow it to become high, then youve acted too late. Tucker shes a Data Scientist says Andrew Cuomos brother. At msnbc, Rebecca Jones is more like a religious figure. And Rebecca Jones, the line is shining on you. Dont be scared. The whole country is watching you and your family and what they do to you. Tucker so anyone that pushed back on any of this, of course, that i were sexist for questioning Rebecca Jones. Yeah, unfortunately i personally experienced a lot of misogyny in the last seven months. Governor desantis actually used the term shes got issues referring to me. So theres an absolutely coronated effort to dismiss women in any instance that they speak out to make them seem irrational or overly emotional. Tucker it was an effort to dismiss women. One long and fascinating new magazine piece takes Rebecca Jones very seriously. Doesnt dismiss her at all. But concludes that shes a total fraud. The piece says Rebecca Jones didnt have the authority to delete rec
