TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): It's the Greta Thunberg play, it's like we're gonna bring someone on you're not allowed to criticize. I have to say, her views really seem like those of every affluent white liberal I've ever met. If you want a Black candidate -- I'm serious! I think the country would get better representation from --

CLAY TRAVIS (GUEST): Yep, that's true.

CARLSON: She's just a carbon copy of everyone in the neighborhood I've spent my life in. 

TRAVIS: This is what happens, Tucker, they want cosmetic diversity everybody to have the exact same opinions. No diversity of thought, diversity of appearance. It's scary. 

CARLSON: If you picked a rap star off the street, that person's views would more likely be closer to the views of the average American than the views of this woman, I would argue. I've got money on it actually.
