E P A Alone gets more than $40 billion in this bill,
including more than 30 billion for so called disadvantaged communities.
What are those?
Well they're not really defined people who vote for joe biden.
So what it really means is the E P A.
Is gonna spread more identity politics and race hate.
Are you sick of that yet?
>> Okay so tucker Carlson is saying that the carve outs and
the inflation reduction act for
climate action are going to inspire race hate before we show more of that video,
let's get into what the bill actually will do for disadvantaged communities.
So the White House estimates that the law includes over $60 billion in
spending on so called environmental justice.
That includes money to reduce emissions around the United States ports,
plant trees in city neighborhoods that are hotter because of past racist housing
policies, make electric vehicles more affordable and install solar panels and
make buildings more efficient in low income neighborhoods.
Let's also keep in mind there are some ways this bill could actually
hurt black communities but that's not something that tucker Carlson bothered to
mention the emergency relief for farmers of color Act, which passed alongside
the american rescue plan called for $4 billion in loan forgiveness.
Too far armors of color.
In addition to providing aid to black growers,
The emergency funding marked the first step in correcting decades
of discrimination that farmers faced at the hands of the U S D A.
Yet the loan forgiveness program has been removed from
the inflation measure before any dollars could reach.
Farmers still tucker Carlson focused on the parts of the bill that will
impact poor families.
Let's watch that.
>> The total annual budget of the EU.
Currently stands at about $10 billion.
So this is a lot of money flowing to equity and the disadvantaged and
of course everything hangs on definition.
So who gets to define what disadvantages a disadvantaged community?
Well that would be the E P A Said ministry.
A guy called Michael Regan.
This is a guy who's in his late forties who has never had an actual job in
his life, never worked for real business of any kind.
But he does have priorities.
And to give you some sense of what they are.
We'll tell you what he told the daily show this year.
And we're quoting everything I do at E P A.
Is through the lens of environmental justice,
contracting, procurement, air quality, water quality,
land management starts with are we protecting the least among us.
Those who have lacked political representation and
those who have not been at the table for decades.
End quote.
So really this is about spreading race hate as virtually everything they
do is they call it equity.
It's not about protecting the environment.
>> Tucker Carlson's racism becomes very evident because every time he covers this
on his show,
he ignores how systemic racism has economically impacted black communities.
So let's review some of the ways wealth accumulation has been impeded by systems
of oppression in the United States.
So there were 246 years of chattel slavery, congressional mismanagement of
the freedoms Savings Bank, which left 61,100 and 44 depositors with losses
of nearly $3 million in 18 74 the violent massacre decimating Tulsa's Greenwood
district in 1921 a population of 10,000 that thrived as the epicenter of
the african american business and culture community commonly referred to as
Black Wall street discriminatory policies through the 20th century,
including jim Crow eras, black codes strictly limiting opportunity.
In many sub turn states the G I Bill,
the new deal's fair labor standards act exemption of domestic agricultural and
service occupations and redlining just to name a few.
So wealth was taken from these communities and opportunities were taken from these
communities before they ever had a chance to grow and
we're still seeing the lasting impact of that today.
There's a huge gap when it comes to income of white versus black americans.
In 2019 18, the median white household held $188,000
in wealth 7.8 times that of the typical black household.
It is worth noting that levels of average wealth, which are more heavily skewed by
households with the greatest amount of wealth are higher.
Rich white households reported average wealth of $983,400,
which is 6.9 times that of rich black households.
So pretty shocking that tucker Carlson has the nerve to say what he says and
ignore history and not present the facts for their viewers.
And it's definitely the case that most people never confront these facts.
>> Yeah.
So there's a couple of different components of this story.
I'm just gonna do a quick aside when he said that the E P A.
Administrator had never worked a real job in his life.
He's worked in government.
Well, so do teachers, they work as teachers, a lot of them their whole lives
and dark Carlson would say they never had a real job.
By the way, here's more government workers cops.
So they've never had a real job.
Firemen have never had a real job.
Okay?
But he puts a picture of a black guy up and says he's never had a job, right?
And then he says he's the one doing hate against poor white people.
First of all, there's nobody doing hate against white people at all.
There's nothing in the bill that punishes white people that that
implication is completely fabricated.
Okay, now let's get to, well, should there be this money appropriated for
these disadvantaged communities?
And he thinks that that's outrageous and a racist thing to do.
But what he's leaving out is what Jessica just explain.
He's leaving out two things.
One is what she explained,
which is through the history of racism that we've had in this country,
not just slavery, not just jim Crow, not just, hey 40 acres and a mule.
Just kidding.
We're giving you nothing but over and over against systemic discrimination that has
robbed african americans of the ability to collect wealth and sometimes they would
collect wealth and like in the Tulsa example, you've got a black wall street.
People are wealthy now will kill you and that's how they solve that one.
Your can accumulate wealth in your house holds in fact that that is the number one
way that all americans accumulate wealth in their homes.
The property, well red line, you will make sure you can't get homes,
you can't get mortgages so you can't accumulate assets.
And then when they started an 8 to 1 disadvantage,
the tucker crosses of the world, go on tv and go, well what's the big deal now?
They want to even things a little bit, not by discriminating as white people but
by helping african americans just a tiny bit.
After all of those years of discrimination, How dare you?
No, you're hating white people.
If you don't let us keep cheating And to the Fox news audience,
that makes a lot of sense because they, they're bathing entitlement and
they think they have a right to have a leg up on you or maybe eight legs up on you
as you see the 8 to 1 disparity there, but there's a second issue too,
which is Actually a lot of minority communities have been targeted for
places that create more pollution and industries that create more pollution?
So let me tell you about that real quick.
According to a 2021 study published in the Journal of Science.
Black americans are exposed to more pollution from every type of source,
including industry, agricultural, all manner of vehicles, construction,
residential sources and even emissions from restaurants,
people of color more broadly including black and hispanic people and
asian americans are exposed to more pollution from nearly every resource.
And what tucker Carlson is telling you implicitly in that segment is good.
Don't try to fix that.
We don't want you fixing it.
We want all the pollution going to black folks.
We don't want any kind of compensation and we want us to keep oppressing them.
That's what he just actually told you Alonzo.
>> Thank you shank and thank you for the second point you made.
I was wondering if you're going to get to that about how the dump is built in
the black neighborhood, the electrical, you know that that buzzing tower happens
to be next to the black school and all these kids get cancer and all that.
And here's another thing that happens with this so called disadvantaged communities.
A lot of these poor white communities in the south, they get a factory built where
they're making you know, fan blades for wind turbines or something like that.
They get a bunch of jobs?
Listen, tucker if black people have it so good, why don't you switch places with us?
Why don't you switch with us?
Switch with me since I have it so good since everything stacked in my favor.
Let's switch and I can be an idiot on tv spreading fear.
It's so interesting.
This came up because I just had this conversation with a white woman who's
an immigrant from another country.
She's very right wing.
She's very much a Trumper and she's one of those that believe,
well I don't have any advantages.
And I tried to explain to her systematic racism and
how families accumulate wealth and inherited.
Well, well I didn't inherit money.
I don't have any of that.
They can always play the role of the victim all too well
unfortunately jake this the truths fall on deaf ears.
That that's really the problem.
The people watching fox news, they never hear this information and
if they do hear it, they don't believe it to them.
The Tulsa massacre.
Black Wall Street.
Like they just deny that it happened.
It's not real to them.
It's it's like it's like holocaust, You know where they just did.
Yeah.
400 years of slavery and the head start.
We got the fact that my great grandfather bought a house and started a store and I
inherited that and your great grandfather legally wasn't allowed to read.
Yeah that means nothing.
That's that doesn't matter?
We're on the same level today aren't we?
It is angering it is ridiculous.
His his yell of race hate.
It's it's background noise to tell you the truth.
I feel sorry for you guys working at T Y T.
Because you actually have to listen to tucker Carlson.
You have to listen to it on a regular basis.
It's it's the same thing over and over.
It's we are the proud, strong white people who are scared of everything and
everyone I've never seen people so scared of of anything even approaching
fairness tucker Carlson is talking about somebody who doesn't work for
a living when his lawyer says that you should not believe his job is to report.
And his lawyer said a person of common sense wouldn't believe him.
How's that for not working tucker?
How who else could be that bad at their job that their lawyer says,
well you don't believe him, do you?
It's I don't know, I'm I'm beyond anger.
It's just so ridiculous.
I hope this bill works out.
I hope that black families and people of color do get some of the jobs and
some of the money what they did to the black farmers was a straight rip off white
farmers get subsidies.
You would not believe this is a criminal thing to do to the black farmers.
It is somewhat ironic to take money from black farmers when their ancestors
were the slaves.
That till the soil of this country.
That's why it's beyond anger jang it is, I don't even I don't have a word.
I honestly don't have a word for the ridiculousness of it.
And people like tucker Carlson.
I honestly can't listen to.
I can hold a conversation.
I can hold a debate with someone intelligent who is based in facts.
I can't talk to tucker across and and if you if you're following him,
we got nothing to say.
>> All right.
One last super quick thing to cross had inherited the Swanson fortune and
then he says, well, we started on equal footing.
What do you mean?
>> Okay, alright to Alonso's point then why don't you give your Swanson fortune to
Alonso? And then we'll have a conversation because
you say Alonso is in better shape, right?
And you envy him.
Okay, you can switch positions by switching wealth,
see how that turns out for you.
You don't want to.
Yeah.
Can I make a quick point again, referring to the brilliance of a comedian,
chris rock said this a long time ago, he said there's a white guy
in the kitchen who won't trade places with me and I'm rich.
>> That's a mic drop.
That's that.
We're gonna try and get through this next story.
Let's watch this
