He was in a wheelchair because he was wounded when he was arrested by gunfire. He had handcuffs on his wrists and shackles on his feet, and he is facing the first of many charges likely to be filed. Authorities say saipov admittedi to carrying out the attack, saying he wanted to kill as many people as possible, and was proud of what he had done. They say he was inspired by isis, that he had dozens of isis videos and a cell phone along with other propaganda and notes in his vehicle professing loyalty to the islamic state, saying that he told investigators that he wanted to fly an isis flag in his hospital room after he was captured, andd also had considered putting isis flags on the pickup truck that he rented from home depot, which by the way it was hauled away from the scene here late this afternoon on an nypd flatbed tow truck. Saipov could face the Death Penalty in this case because of the federal murder charges likely to be filed in connection with the terrorism charges against him, but the u. S. Attorney hasnt yet said if he will in fact seek the deathin penalty in this case. For the moment they are scouring this man cell phones, his internet history and all of his associations with friends and relatives over the past weeks and months to try and determinet if anybody else knew anything about this plot and if any of his associates might be planning plots of their own. Tucker thanks. Yesterday, Sayfullo Saipov rammed a rented truck into more than 20 new yorkers screaming allahu akbar. Eight people were murdered and the country is once again asking why, but the answer this time is obvious. Those eight people are martyrs to a diversity cult worshiped by a ruling class. Sayfullo saipov was an Islamic Radical from uzbekistan who worked as a uber driver. He wasnt a physician or an exceptional scientific mind. He was doing a job literally anybody could do in a country where we have to the status of your shortage of low skill jobs for the poor in our working class. Why was this man even in our kicountry . He was here because this countrys leaders have decideder that diversity in and of itself is of greater importance than the wellbeing of this countrys people. Thats literally true. Saipov was admitted to the u. S. Under the socalled diversity t lottery, something youve likely never even heard of until today. The diversity lottery was created a long time ago back in 1990. It offers immigration visas to 50,000 people every year. Winners are chosen randomly among applicants from countries that havent sent many immigrants to the u. S. In the past five years. S those immigrants dont have to know english. They dont have to have any skills of any kind. All they need is a High School Education or at least two years of experience in certain work fields. Ol they dont need family here in the u. S, although once theyve been admitted they are of course t allowed to sponsor others to follow in their wake, chain migration that is called. Supposedly immigrants admitted through the diversity lottery must show that theyiv are nonthreatening and able to support themselves, but we know that its a joke. Our leaders are not even willing to deport criminal gang members who are here illegally. To once youve arrived in this country its almost impossible to get thrown out. Discard the propaganda, thats the case. Before getting caught up in all the depressing details around this, consider the absurdity of the entire system. Diversity lottery . America isnt a game show or a mailin sweepstakes, if the country. T our government is supposed to represent the interests of the people in this country. Its citizens. Instead our leaders are treating america as a prize that can be won by anyone on the planet simply for existing. Why not sell diversity scratchoff tickets off tickets in Convenience Stores . Its insane. The whole thing is insane. How do you know its insane . Because the very liberals and defending the diversity lottery and calling you a bigot get questions about it would never in a million years practice a diversity lottery themselves. What harvard implement a diversity lottery forntveit admissions . Of course it wouldnt. Harvard wants to be selectiveg and only admit the best. If it would never just picked 100 random applicants based on country of origin without bothering to check their grades are test, no way. You think google or facebook or msnbc would hire with a diversity lottery . Just picked people at random without reading the resumes . Please. Did president obama hold a diversity lottery when he made judicial appointments . S . Does the military hold a lottery for officers . No. Of course not. Because in all of those organizations is obvious that quality matters. You want to pick the best people and allow the Greater Organization to flourish. Somehow though, this is the most perverse part of all of this,mo the greatest organization of all, the United States has decided that quality is irrelevant. Diversity has become an end in itself. Who is responsible for this . Its not a partisan project. Leaders in both parties decidedd a diversity lottery sounded like a great idea. Senator Chuck Schumer introduced the 1990 bill creating the visa system when he was still a member of the house of representatives. L in 2006 he said he could tell the diversity lottery was working perfectly because he could see immigrants while riding his bike. Se this is an excellent program. Nobody has said it has done a bad job. It is small, there were only about 50,000 visas a year. As i ride my bike around new york city on the weekends i see what immigrants do for america. This program has dramatically helped. Tucker now, irony of ironies, bicyclists have themselves become targets of an extremist who wass admitted thanks to his grand vision. An excellent program. Okay. So excellent in fact that in 2009 converse woman Sheila Jackson of texas lobbied tont double the number of diversity lottery visase to 100,000. The only surprises she didnt ask for 500,000 or 1 million. 00 why not . Diversity is our strength, keep that in mind. But republicans, to be fair, played their part as well. A lot of them. Five Senate Republicans still in office today voted for the law that created the diversity lobby. Thad cochran of mississippi, john mccain of arizona, orin hatch of utah, o chuck grassleyf iowa, and majority legal Mitch Mcconnell of the commonwealth of kentucky. We reached out to every single one of them this afternoon to see how they feel about the diversity lottery right now. Mccain, grassley and cochran say they want the lottery abolished. Will the rest come around . We will be watching. What about the democrats . Congress is hopelessly divided on immigration but we can at least unite on the printablesl that immigrants are to be chosen because they can benefit this country. You think that would be an easy one. Many lawmakers would deflect if you asked them. They say they want the Program Ended as part of what they are calling comprehensive immigration reform. But theres no need for that. Its an excuse offered to lawmakers to do nothing if they happen for decades. Congress could in fact and the program tomorrow without touching any other part of the immigration system. M. If Congress Actually cared about the wellbeing of this country they would do that. Ua but sadly it seems unlikely any of this is going to happen. Why . You know why. The truth is our ruling class prefers immigrants to americans. They dont say that out loud, they dont need to say it out loud. Ri watch how they act. Who are they more worried about . The socalled dreamers here illegally, or the 60,000 american citizens who died of drug overdoses last year . Its not even close. Our elites see americans is beyond hope and worse than that, dangerous. Te just this week you watch an ad in the virginia governors race premised on the notion that the biggest threat to this countrys pickupdriving from voters who want to run over muslim children. Even though, if you want to get factual about it, in a country with 63 million from voters, that has never happened. Meanwhile, an islamic extremistm literally just ran over people with a truck. Authorities, as they always do raced to treat that as an isolated incident, a lone wolf attack with no implications fori american policy. Are our leaders lying to us . Both, probably. If diversity is their religion and in their own way they are religious extremists. When the safety and wellbeing of americans conflict with their faith, they will choose their faith every time. How did this become law . It was an attempt at irish legal immigrants initially. There was a big break and push in 1986. Al q and the irish immigrants did not qualify because they had not been here long enough. They cooked up some way. The senator from new york cooked up this idea of diversity as a pretext for amnesty and irish illegals. And then it morphed into this program that is now a kind of affirmative action for immigrants from other countries who cannot get in otherwise, as you explained. Tucker our whole immigratio system is not so different. We dont with some visa exceptions. We dont screen for skills in the way that most countries do already. Y. The large majority of immigrants, Something Like twothirds are only brought in because of their family connections. And frankly half of the rest come in because they are related to people who are skilled or Something Like that. Skills really play a very small role and in this visa lottery, literally its almost anybody in the world. You would mention you have too have a High School Diploma, but really what does it take to get a High School Diploma and uzbekistan . Im not criticizing the schools, im talking that you can go around the corner and buy a High School Diploma. Tucker you can buy one here. In these many years, in the 27 years this has them all, has nobody said wait a second, this is the greatest country on earth, Everyone Wants to come here. Why are we handing out green cards on the basis of a lottery . People have been saying this repeatedly. In fact, the house a number of years ago even passed a bill to get rid of the visa lottery and it didnt go anywhere. Tucker who was lobbying against it . Lets put a fine point on this. Where is the lobby that wants to preserve something that makes no sense . There is two forces protecting it, one is narrow, one is broader. The narrow one interestingly is the black caucus because they have now come to adopt this as their pet Immigration Program because a lot of people from Subsaharan Africa come through it. Thats the kind of narrow issue. Tucker has any policy any single policy in American History hurt africanamericans even more . No, its a good question. African immigration is a problem for black americans. Me more broadly, basically our whole political class, because the idea seems to be that immigration must never go down and must always go up. So anything that would cause immigration to go down or cast it in any kind of questionable light has to be resisted no matter what. So when for instance the gang of eight bill did in fact get rid of the visa lottery, but it doubled legal immigration. It double guest workers. Amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Thats not any kind of price to pay. Tucker there has been a lot of lying about that exact subject, thank you for setting the record straight. Good to see you. Leslie marshall is a radio host on the west coast. She joins us tonight. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. Tucker the left loves the diversity lottery. I i think just because of the name. Im not sure they are aware of what it is, but now that you do know what it is, is this how you staff your own show, your radio show . Do you hire people at random based on National Origin . No. My irish greatgrandparents came here under the diversity i progm so i actually did know what it was in one of the reasons im here is because of that program. On my irish side, my grandparents. Tucker wanted to hear her greatgrandparents come . In 1990 . My grandparents, i guess as i greatgrandparents prayed about on my irish side. Tucker i guess congratulations, but you are not answering the core question, which is im not saying everybody who comes under the diversity lottery is bad, but im sure a lot of great people come. The fact that the United States passes out green cards on the basis of a lottery at random would any person defending that system apply the same principles to his or her own business . Would you hire this way . No, but a business is not a nation and thats very different, especially a nation decides. As i think you know, i am one of the democrats like Chuck Schumer who was originally a part of this, and others like the gang of eight who say its about time that we get rid of it because it is irrelevant. You just heard the reason that it was implemented in this country originally and we dont need it now. We are a very diverse nation. By radio show tucker we just had a terrork attack last night committed by someone who was admitted under this program. Its very relevant actually in the country is suffering a result of it. It still very much hurting america, but i just wonder why we shouldnt, with every immigrant under any Immigration Program ask first and foremost how are you going to add to the sum total of this country . Why would we let you in . Prove that we should let you in. I dont understand that we dont ask that. Every other country asks that. I dont agree with that. That is not the case with every single country and its not the case with every single reason in my opinion that we should have people coming to this nation. Quite frankly, then we would have people here saying still f immigrants are taking all of our jobs. We want the best and the brightest, but why are we not looking to make our students and our kids here in america the best and the brightest . Tucker i have the answer to that question. We dont need to. Gh we dont need to spend any time thinking about how to fix innercity schools or any schools. We dont care that 60,000 people died last year because we can just import new people willing to work for less, grateful to be her. Immigrants have removed anyy incentive for the american ruling class to care about its own people, dont you see that . No, i would say quite the opposite. I would say maybe perhaps it raises the bar when you look at when you go into a classroom at mit for example and say how come we are importing so many students . How come other like china and india have math scores that are just off the charts compared to our own children here in the united o states . Its not just private schools as well. Its not just about tuition. Tucker, its about a culture. Tucker i dont think youve thought this through. Schools are eager to get foreign students because they pay full tuition. The truth is everyone of those spots could be occupied by an american student. These are schools that take billions in federal funds every year. But if not, its occupied by a foreigner. My only question is shouldnt the Government Act on behalf of its own people first . Its a simple question. Do you agree with that . I dont think they should just be looking at who should be the best for america regarding academia andnd career. There are other areas where we could have better. For example, here in california we have so many lower entry jobs in agriculture that go unfilled, as you know. There are americans who dont want to do it, or are overqualified to do it here. Ug tucker does it occur to you that people will take a job if it pays enough . Does anyone on the left care about wages anymore, how much working people may . Is that a concern at all . It is a concern, thank you for making me a spokesperson for all of those on the left. I know i like to make a goodod amount of money and i think most people do here on thene left. By the way, somebody who is picking the lettuce that goes into our salad is not making the salary that somebody whour graduates from college with multiple degrees is making. Tucker it is undercutting the wages of americans. Im really hoping to educate you. H h thank you for coming on. [laughs] thank you for the lesson, tucker. ] tucker state of new york may have put its own citizens atr risk simply to avoid being called bigoted. We will explain how that happened next.

Tucker until yesterday afternoon probably against all odds, new york city had enjoyedd 16 years without anyone being killed by islamist violence. Could this latest bloodshed have been prevented with different Law Enforcement practices . You hate to ask that question, but it arises in this casee because in 2005 the nypd created a report, radicalization in the west is a homegrown threat, and it laid out all u. S. Muslims could become radicalized. That guide was subsequently denounced as islamiphobic. They purged it in 2016 in response to a lawsuit by, you will be surprise, the aclu.
