Fox News host Tucker Carlson weighs in on affirmative action ahead of the upcoming Supreme Court decision on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
They tell you that was never true, but it was true. It was called the"American Dream." People moved here from all over the world to partake in that system. But there was a political problem with it. If you've got a meritocratic society, it's pretty hard to play race politics because race plays no role in advancement. Individual initiative is what matters. Group interests are irrelevant in a meritocracy.
Oh, but no, said Democrats,. slyly repainting the slogans on the barn, actually, racial discrimination can be good. It all depends on who is being discriminated against. That was their argument. Sotomayor openly concedes that she got her job because of affirmative action. She was completely and demonstrably unqualified for the position. Obama chose her because of the way she looked. Now, that may sound deranged, but it actually happened. No one disputes it.
Even after Justice Alito corrected her, Sotomayor kept saying it,"There was de jure segregation." She said de jure segregation in 2022. Jim Crow is still on the books. BRETT KAVANAUGH, US SUPREME COURT ASSOCIATE JUSTICE: How are applicants from Middle Eastern countries classified from Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Egypt and the like?
So, the question in that exchange was:"What box to the Middle Easterners check?" Oh, no idea, but of course, everyone knows the answer. If you want to get into a competitive school, the best bet for those Middle Easterners would be to identify as Black. The studies prove it. Look at this chart. It shows the average SAT score for admitted students by race at Harvard from 2000 to 2017. It's almost unbelievable how different the standards are and this is happening, of course, not simply at Harvard, not simply other schools, but all over the entire society.
PARK: So, the most concrete possible scenario is stock trading and there are studies that find that racially diverse groups of people making trading decisions perform at a higher level, make more efficient trading decisions and the mechanism there is that it reduces groupthink and people have longer and more sustained disagreement and that leads to a more efficient outcome.
It was wrong then. It's every bit as wrong now. The difference is we no longer acknowledge the victims of it, and most are too ashamed to say a word, but millions of them exist by definition. In 2020, , Clarke declared publicly that her political opponents should be killed. In response to a video of people chanting"Fire Fauci," here's what she wrote. We are quoting the Head of the Civil Rights Division:
But how are those protected groups doing? Are they benefiting from generations of affirmative action? Oh, no, they're not. The kids of doctors are benefiting from affirmative action. We know that. According to"Scientific American," for example, science compels a racial spoils system. This is real."The Supreme Court could destroy affirmative action in higher education and STEM professional must stand against the White supremacy and scientific racism that fuels arguments against it." So, you're a White supremacist if you're against racial discrimination.
So, it is a critical national security imperative to attain diversity within the officer corps and at present, it's not possible to achieve that diversity without race conscious admissions, including at the nation's service academies. The result of that? Well, the Army is now dramatically short of its recruitment goal because nobody, no normal person of any color, wants to join a rigged system. That's the truth.
And here is the thing, Tucker, nobody makes a case for affirmative action in the NBA. Nobody makes a case for affirmative action in the NFL, because they know --RAMASWAMY: That would ruin basketball, and it would ruin football, none of us would want to watch it. I just don't understand if the NBA is too important to destroy with affirmative action, then why is it okay at Flight Schools or Medical Schools?
CARLSON: They certainly do, because it really is a foundational concept. If we're not all equal as citizens, then what's the point? Well, wait a second, the election is still ongoing. The incumbent has not conceded. How do you know the claims are"false?" Well, of course you don't. You are taking sides and using censorship to cement the results in place.
Also, Joe Biden has completely given up control of the United States' southern portions to the Mexican drug cartels. We just documented this for an upcoming episodes of"Tucker Carlson Originals," which premieres on Thursday. We'll show you some of it after the break. JOHN FETTERMAN , PENNSYLVANIA SENATE CANDIDATE: I just do -- I think that simply is also let's talk about the trillions in massive tax -- tax cuts to the corporate tax structure as well true. You know, trillions of dollars that have added to the deficit, and now they still want to support those as well true.
SEN. BOB CASEY : I know this job. Well. John is prepared right now to be an effective senator, and I think with even more months of recovery, he's going to be back to where he was, but I think he did really well.UNIDENTIFIED MALE: By the way, it isn't about whether we have a Republican senator or not. It's whether or not we have an adult, somebody who's responsible.
DR. MEHMET OZ , PENNSYLVANIA SENATE CANDIDATE: I think they just want the 51st vote in the Senate. They don't appreciate that John Fetterman has been unable to defend his radical views and that's the big issue in this campaign. He takes his extreme positions that he's held for years, they out of touch with Pennsylvania values. A good example, fracking. He calls it a stain on Pennsylvania.
CARLSON: It's a little unreal that he keeps attacking you for being rich, which you are, but you made your money. This guy lived off his parents until late middle age. He's never had a real job and he's got rich kid views. CARLSON: Yes, and they need to because that city really is on the brink. It's obvious when you go there.CARLSON: So right before a Midterm Election and someone breaks into Nancy Pelosi's house and assaults her 82-year-old husband with a hammer. That's awful. But it doesn't change the fact that a lot of the details they're telling us about the attack don't make any sense at all, and we will tell you what doesn't make sense after the break.
So there was a field office of the Capitol Hill Police in San Francisco, according to this news account, and yet somehow there was no security at the Speaker of the House's home on Friday night? It doesn't make sense at all. Glenn Greenwald is an independent journalist. His work is on Substack. He joins us tonight to assess.So everybody feels obviously pain thinking of an 82-year-old man being hit with a hammer. It's the worst thing imaginable. It's quite common now, but why should the rest of us sit here and accept obvious inconsistencies in a story that has public policy implications and not say anything?
CARLSON: So Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, the Russians blew up their own pipeline, Julian Assange is a criminal. I mean, maybe we are in the habit of just accepting the most ludicrous possible claims and moving on to the next thing, that feels like where we are. CARLSON: Unfortunately, this country recorded an extraordinarily violent Halloween yesterday. Fourteen people were injured in a drive-by shooting in Chicago, including children. Multiple people were killed in shootings in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
Adam Laxalt, thanks so much for coming on. Is your opponent even willing to acknowledge that the country is being overturned by a surge in violent crime? Now, of course she is doing her election year turn around and trying to pretend that she supports the police. But I can tell you when you talk to cops in Nevada, they're not buying it for one second. They know that only one candidate is truly standing with the police and they know it's existential for them.
But he is at 37 percent and you know, he went on TV about a month ago and said,"What do you mean defund the police? We've always supported the police." But she wants nothing to do with him, even though she supported him every step of the way. NAYIB BUKELE, PRESIDENT OF EL SALVADOR: The demise of the US has to come from within. The enemies have to be inside, not really outside. No external enemy can cause so much damage as internal. It is an internal operation.
Or they say, okay, we're going to give you money if you don't work. Or we're going to -- they make all of these laws that make no sense or if they have a high crime, okay, I have a solution, let's defund the police. Right?
