good evening and welcome to tucker
carlson tonight we're in reporter mode
tonight here with some
key stats on your government here they
are 42 days into the administration and
still
no solo press conference from joe biden
that is the longest stretch of silence
from any new president in at least a
century
so by refusing to speak directly to the
media joe biden is attacking our most
cherished democratic norms even cnn is
complaining about it
and we would echo those complaints if we
really cared
but honestly we're just as happy that
joe biden remains in seclusion imagine a
full press conference from joe biden
an endless hour of blank spots and
mumbling and his wife interjecting with
the right answer
how depressing would that be it's one
thing to know your country's being led
by a guy in cognitive decline it's
another thing to see it and we don't
want to see it
and won't reporters ask anyway we got a
taste the other day when one shouted
this as biden shuffled by
what did you learn from your classified
briefing on border security that was the
question
joe biden's answer a lot that was it
now do you believe him did joe biden
really learn a lot
now or at any time in the past five
years come on as we said the whole thing
is too sad to watch so we're not going
to
instead we're happy to listen to joe
biden's flax they hold the press
conferences now
in the last month joe biden's
mouthpieces have had to explain why he
bombed syria
why he blocked the passage of a 15
minimum wage why dr
seuss is racist and then in their spare
time joe biden's scribes produce
an awful lot of presidential
proclamations they're heavy on the
proclamations in washington these days a
lot of proclaiming
one of joe biden's very first was
entitled an executive order on advancing
racial equity and support for
underserved communities through the
federal government end quote
this was the document that introduced
the administration's new
equity plan which is going to and we're
quoting
eliminate systemic barriers to
opportunities and benefits for people of
color and other underserved groups
it's quite a mouthful but what does it
mean is anyone asked
what it means or did everyone in
washington just graduate from yale and
intuitively understand sloppy
meaningless words like this
possible but the rest of us might still
like to know what a systemic
barrier is and how joe biden plans to
eliminate it that's easy
with equity of course but that raises a
whole new question what exactly is
equity and how is it different from
equality
equality being the central principle
this country was founded on
well the first thing to know about
equality is that it's designed to
challenge power equity by contrast
is designed to protect power equity is
what the british monarchy had
equality is what the american colonists
wanted
equality is what allowed andrew jackson
to rise from a childhood of bitter
poverty
in the carolina woods where he was born
in 1867 and make it all the way to the
white house
andrew jackson was tough smart and
energetic
he lived a remarkable life and america
rewarded him for it
that's equality people like that rising
to the top equity is the opposite
equity is what allowed kamala harris the
privileged child of two phds
to stay privileged and in the end to
become one of the most powerful people
on the planet despite having achieved
nothing impressive or worthwhile over
the span of 56 years
so andrew jackson and kamala harris both
democrats
won the child of equality the other the
child
of equity that's the difference in a
nutshell so to recap
equality challenges power equity
protects power that principle has never
been on starker display than in the case
of the teachers unions
which is some of the most powerful
institutions in america naturally are
using the term equity to justify their
own prerogatives as they hurt the weak
in this case school children
and their increasingly desperate parents
last night we told you with the
president of the los
angeles teachers union an equity
promoter called cecily my art cruise
for months parents whose kids use public
education in los angeles have been
begging
cecily my art crews to reopen the
schools and why wouldn't they
how was cecily my art crews responded
well by demanding that those parents
shut up
immediately those parents she explained
have the wrong skin color
therefore unlike entitled unionized
teachers who can never be fired
those parents have privilege some voices
are being allowed to speak
louder than others we have to call out
the privilege behind the largely white
wealthy parents driving the push for a
rushed
return their experience of this pandemic
is not our students family's experiences
calling out the privilege says the lady
who could literally never be fired from
her job no matter how she acts including
like that
never mind the hundred percent increase
in suicides among school-aged children
cecily meyer cruz is not interested in
that
she's interested in equity which means
she's interested in protecting her own
unearned privilege by attacking the
people below her
what do the parents and children being
attacked think of this well cecily meyer
cruz wouldn't think to ask them because
she doesn't care
so yesterday fox los angeles reporter
bill malugan stepped up and asked them
himself and here's what they said
it's almost like minority families want
the school to open more than anybody
else
and the reason why i say that is because
education for us
for our culture is a stairway out of
poverty
so every day that our children is not in
school
that's just a day closer to poverty for
them
lamar freeman coaches a youth football
team called the la rampage he told bill
malugen that every parent he spoke to
wants his or her kids back in class now
these parents are not racists
they just want their kids educated most
of my kids um
before the pandemic we had uh 80
honor roll rate now since the distance
learned in the zone classes that
dropped about every 20 percent like most
of my agenda
kids are getting these disease
so purely because the most privileged
government workers
in the united states won't have to work
an entire generation of children is
being destroyed
that's equity the strong hurting the
weak and calling it justice
everyone who thinks about this for just
a moment knows that it's true and that's
why you never hear
equity debated or even defined they
won't define the term because they can't
defend its definition
instead they bully the population into
silence cecily mayar cruz and the
teachers unions
are doing that right now jorge ventura
the daily caller has obtained a recent
email sent by someone who identifies
himself as albert
lowe an employee at the los angeles
teachers union now there is an albert
lowe who works at the union we called
him tonight that we didn't pick up to
confirm that he sent the email in
question
this email was addressed to a mother who
was publicly called a couple of times
for reopening schools in los angeles and
the email from the union apparently
demands to know what race she is quote
i'm working on a research project on who
speaks on union issues in the los
angeles times and coding for race and
class it begins
you are quoted twice in the last eight
months in the paper
could you tell me how you racially
self-identify
or point me to a citation on your
identity end quote
now what could possibly be the point of
this
seriously why is a parent or a child's
skin color relevant in
any way to what is supposed to be a
medical question
whether the public schools reopen well
of course there's only one point to this
it's racial intimidation
we saw you complain to tell us your race
how is that not a violation of our civil
rights laws of course it will never be
prosecuted or even
criticized by anyone in power because
the teachers union is doing it and
they're doing it in the name of equity
the hunt for white supremacy justifies
all including
injuring children and scaring their
parents into silence
it's not just happening in schools we're
seeing this everywhere in our society
right now
