>> WELCOME TO "TUCKER
CARLSON TONIGHT."
MILLIONS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
ACROSS AMERICA.
IN FACT, AROUND THE WORLD
SKIPPED SCHOOL TODAY.
THEY WEREN'T PLAYING HOOKY.
THEY WERE, INSTEAD,
PARTICIPATING IN A
COORDINATED LEFT WING
POLITICAL PROTEST.
IT WAS CALLED CLIMATE STRIKE
SO NATURALLY MSNBC WAS THERE
TO CHEER THEM ON.
>> NEW YORK CITY IS THE HOME
BASE FOR THESE PROTESTS.
SCHOOL OFFICIALS, PUBLIC
SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE
ALLOWING NEARLY 1 MILLION
STUDENTS TO CUT CLASSES.
>> SOME OF THE SIGNS BY THE
WAY I HAVE SEEN SO FAR FOR
THIS RALLY ABSOLUTELY
FANTASTIC.
>> I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SKIP
CLASS.
IF THERE IS A CAUSE THAT IS
IMPORTANT, THIS IS IT.
SO GOOD ON YOU FOR GOING OUT
THERE AND TELLING PEOPLE
WHAT REALLY MATTERS.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND
THOSE LIKE YOU AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> Tucker: CONGRATULATIONS
ON SKIPPING SCHOOL.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY NEWS
ANCHORS ASSURED THEIR
VIEWERS THAT THE STRIKE WAS
IN FACT BEING LED BY THE
KIDS.
THEY WERE LYING, OF COURSE,
LIKE ALL ACTIVIST MOVEMENTS
CLIMATE STRIKE BY ADULTS FOR
POLITICAL PURPOSES
OBVIOUSLY.
THE OTHER LIE YOU HEARD
TODAY THE STRIKE WAS ABOUT
THE ENVIRONMENT.
IT WAS NOT ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENT.
THE MAIN GOAL OF THE
PROTESTERS IN THIS COUNTRY
FOR EXAMPLE WAS TO IMPLEMENT
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ'S
GREEN NEW DEAL.
YOU WILL REMEMBER FROM JUST
A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT THE
GREEN NEW DEAL IS NOT ABOUT
THE ENVIRONMENT.
IN FACT, OCASIO-CORTEZ'
CHIEF OF STAFF CONCEDED AS
MUCH.
WE'RE QUOTING NOW WE REALLY
THINK OF IT HOW DO YOU
CHANGE THE ENTIRE ECONOMY
THING, END QUOTE.
THAT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE YOU.
THE ENVIRONMENT MOVEMENT
ITSELF HAS ALL BUT GIVEN UP
ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
DON'T BELIEVE IT?
LOOK AROUND.
IS OUR COUNTRY CLEANER THAN
IT WAS?
NO, IT'S DIRTIER AND MORE
CROWDED AND IT GETS MORE OF
BOTH OF THOSE THINGS EVERY
YEAR.
THE LEFT DOESN'T CARE.
THEY ARE CHEERING IT ON.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY WANT POWER.
AND IN CLIMATE CHANGE THEY
FOUND AN EMERGENCY BIG
ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY GRABBING
MORE POWER.
IN FACT TAKING CONTROL OF
EVERYTHING.
DON'T BELIEVE IT?
CHECK OUT THE MANIFESTO OF
YOUTH CLIMATE STRIKE THAT'S
ONE OF THE GROUPS LEADING
TODAY'S STRIKE.
THE DOCUMENT CALLS FOR,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, STATE
OWNED BANKS, SINGLE PAIR
HEALTHCARE.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IS
EXPANDED RIGHTS FOR SEXUAL
MINORITIES, ET CETERA.
NOW, YOU MAY AGREE WITH
THOSE POLITICAL GOALS OR YOU
MAY DISAGREE.
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH
THE ENVIRONMENT?
OBVIOUSLY NOTHING.
BUT WHATEVER, FULL SPEED
AHEAD.
BERNIE SANDERS AMONG OTHERS
IS NOW DEMANDING THAT THE
UNITED STATES BEGIN
ADMITTING WHAT HE CALLS
CLIMATE REFUGEES IN TO OUR
COUNTRY.
MAYBE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT WOULD INCLUDE EVERYONE
SOUTH OF MIAMI OR NORTH OF
BUENAS ARIES ALL NOW HAVE A
RIGHT TO MOVE HERE BECAUSE
CLIMATE.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF
SOMETHING LIKE THAT PASSING
CONGRESS, YOU ASK?
WELL, RIGHT AROUND ZERO.
CONGRESS WILL NEVER PASS A
LAW ALLOWING THAT.
AND SO THAT MEANS IN ORDER
TO GET WHAT THEY WANT,
PROGRESSIVES WILL HAVE TO
BYPASS CONGRESS NOT TO
MENTION VOTERS THEMSELVES.
AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO
THAT.
WATCH AS COLORADO SENATOR
MICHAEL BENNETT EXPLAINS
THAT THE MAIN THING IN THE
WAY OF HIS CLIMATE AGENDA
IS, YES, DEMOCRACY.
>> I THINK THIS IS A TEST
NOT WELL-UNDERSTOOD BY SOME
OF THE CANDIDATES IN THE
CASE AND NOT WELL-DEBATESIDE
OUR DEMOCRACY UP TO THIS
TASK?
AND THAT IS A REALLY
NONTRIVIAL QUESTION BECAUSE
I MEAN IT CLEARLY ISN'T
RIGHT NOW.
>> SO FAR WE HAVE NOT.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN.
AND WHEN YOU LOSE A NATIONAL
RACE AS WE DID IN '16 TO A
CLIMATE DENIER, THAT CREATES
A REAL CONCERN.
>> Tucker: IS OUR DEMOCRACY
UP TO THE TASK?
IF YOU ARE EVEN ASKING THAT
QUESTION, YOU ARE MISSING
THE POINT BECAUSE DEMOCRACY
IS THE POINT.
DAMN DEMOCRACY SAYS THE
LEFT.
STANDINGED IN THE WAY OF US
GETTING DETAIL OF EVERY LIFE
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THAT.
THAT IS THEIR POSITION.
IN THE MEANTIME THOUGH THE
LEFT HAS A BACKUP PLAN.
IT'S THE SAME AS ALWAYS
BEEN.
PROPAGANDA.
ANOTHER DEMAND OF THE YOUTH
CLIMATE STRIKE GROUP IS WHAT
THEY ARE CALLING, QUOTE,
COMPREHENSIVE CLIMATE CHANGE
EDUCATION.
THEY WANT IT FOR CHILDREN
AGED 5 TO 14.
5 YEARS OLD.
WHY SO YOUNG?
WELL, BECAUSE WE ARE QUOTING
HERE: IMPRESSIONABILITY IS
HIGH DURING THAT
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE, END
QUOTE.
IN OTHER WORDS, BRAINWASHING
IS EASIER WHEN THEY'RE
LITTLE.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE MODERN
LEFT'S CLIMATE AGENDA.
NO DRINKING STRAWS NO.
AUTOMOBILES, NO MEAT NO
DEMOCRACY.
IN THEIR PLACE, ENDLESS
PROPAGANDA AND A PARADE OF
15-YEAR-OLD RED GUARD
YELLING AT YOU TO STAY IN
LINE.
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE
PROMISING.
