TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Well, according to the bill, it means -- and we are quoting here -- "Facilitating engagement of disadvantaged communities in State and Federal advisory groups, workshops, rulemakings, and other public processes." Okay. That sounds confusing, but also expensive.

In all, the EPA 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 voted for Joe Biden. So, what it really means is the EPA is going to spread more identity politics and race hate.

...

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. And if you're wondering how the environment's doing, take a very close look. Is anyone monitoring the chemicals in our water? No. We're busy conducting workshops for billions of dollars for disadvantaged communities.
