JOE BIDEN: 100 days since I took the oath of office and lifted my hand off our family bible and inherited a nation, we all did, that was in crisis. The worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Really? The worst attack on our democracy in 160 years? How about the Immigration Act of 1965? That law completely changed the composition of America's voter rolls, purely to benefit the Democratic Party. That seems like kind of an assault on democracy, a permanent one. But no, that was a good thing, because in the end, it helped Joe Biden.
