wayy down. we want the federal government that reflects the diversity of our country. tucker: i just want to be totally clear. you mean diversity of skills? i m with you. when you were little, did you think you d be arguing to judge people primarily in how they look? i m talking about gender diversity, racial diversity, tucker. 89% of president trump s judicial nominees have been white male. tucker: are they bad? [laughs] many of them are terrible. he knows nothing about how federal courts operate. tucker: is a problem. i m with you there. you should never hire incompetent people. t i don t care what they look like. i m with you. thank you.nk good to see you. tucker: secretary zinke is stillr: employed for the time being but another member of the administration was not so fortunate. former trim speechwriter says his life was destroyed by the media without a shred of evidence against him. he joins us with his story next.
tucker: in the past two years, the media have adopted new principles of someone is connected to the current administration, that personge cn be targeted for destruction for any reason at all. it is all virtuous because the president is evil. until last month, david sorensen was a speechwriter in the white house. then the washington post accused him ofcu domestic violence. whyy did they do this? because of the word of his ex-wife. sorensen lost his job. he said the post had no evidence that he ever did anything wrong. they had no court records, police report, evidence, pictures,ow nothing. now his life has been destroyed. david sorensen joins us tonight his story. david, i want to say at the outset, i ve never spoke to you in my life, i don t know anything aboutut you, i don t kw your ex-wife s name. what struck me about the story, normally i would not get involved in this because these
things tend to be complicated. what struck me about the story is you say the post literally had no evidence, that you had done anything wrong? that s right, tucker. first of all, these accusations are completely false and fabricated. i ve never been violent in any way toward any woman in my entire life by the very thought of it is disgusting. is not the way i was raised. thehe post in their ongoing wr against president trump decided to publish a story based on my ex-wife s word alone. but i was physically violent during our marriage. they had no evidence. i ve never had a police report against me for violence, never had a restraining order against me. and free of her friends even came out, people i hadn t spoken with in years, and said that she had a history of instability and dishonesty and that they shouldn t believe her and that they witnessed her being violent against v me. tucker: was she violent against duke? she was, actually, and i sent
government is run by cut competent people. i don t care where they are from because i don t think that what you look like is the most important thingk is because i m not shallow.or but you are arguing that it is. president trump appointees has been virtually all white and all male. we haven t seen anything this remarkable since the reagan years. tucker: he were just not getting anywhere because if you can argue that one of us is doing a bad job, i ll agree with you. i thinkhe some of them are not that impressive. i will be blunt with you. but it has nothing to do with what they m look like. again, i m not a shallow person. i don t judge people on their appearance and i don t judge books by their covers. i try to get deeper than that. i m wondering why as a society we ve decided the shallowest possible measure is the most important. do you ever ask yourself that? diversity is one among a number of factors. like the: it sounds most important thing. it needs to be taken into accou
diversity rules you re calling for here? theyre shouldn t take the people who score the highest on the pilot test, but they should hire also on appearance, the way people look. every workplace tucker: t surgeons, too? everyone should hire the best, but place a premium on diversity. tucker: the way you look or what you re capable of doing? when you were flying a plane, how important is it, what you look like? incredibly important. it s also important that we place a premium on diversity. the fact that tucker: diversity means appearance, it means what you look like. it s theal shallowest possible criteria. it s literally your shade. that is what you are saying. by set more important than talent? you know what matters, what matters is that you are my daughters and my black sons can turn on the tv and see an administration that reflects the diversity of our country. gender diversity, racial diversity, ethnic diversity tucker: really? what matters to me is that the
