settle for anything less than the best. [cheers] reclaim our country's destiny and dream big and bold and daring. we have to do that. we're going to dream of things for our country and beautiful things and successful things once again. >> boy, find throw people in washington who thought that was going to happen, you can't. story of the century. good evening and welcome to a special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, mugness and group think, none of which you will see tonight. we're going to dive into the first 100 days of the donald trump presidency. no issue has been as big for him for the campaign and country this nation. how he plan to deal with that issue if elected president. >> on day one. we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical,

tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. 2 million people, criminal aliens. [boos] we will begin moving them out day one as soon as i take office, day one. >> homeland security and the department of justice to begin a comprehensive review of these cases in order to develop a list of regions and countries from which immigration must be suspended until proven and effective investigating mechanisms can be put in place. i call it extreme vetting, right? extreme investigating. >> well, joining us now for the hour is larry king who used tjessicatar laf. star "the washington times" and molly hemmingway of the

federalist. it's great to see you all. >> yeah. >> start in this order and then jump. [molly hemmingway there is no question from those watched from afar the campaign unfold. immigration at the center of it. trump made a lot of specific promises on the subject. does he have to keep them? >> i think that a lot of people said that donald trump didn't care a lot about issues during this campaign. he actually did care a lot about issues and immigration was one of those topics that he early and big reason why had support early on. and there is a big desire to people to work on this issue. now, is he going to deport 12 million people? i would say. no. >> right. >> but you get a lot of understanding where is he going with his nomination of jeff sessions. there's a lot that can be done simply through enforcing the law that's on the books. >> at doj, justice department. >> yes. jeff sessions is very much a law and order guy. he very much believes that the laws on the books should be enforced and there is a lot of room for getting a lot done just that way. so, i think that that's probably the best indicator of what's going to happen.

>> charlie, the wall. >> yeah. >> i'm one of the rare people who lives here. i didn't mock the wall. i think the wall makes a lot of sense are we going to get a wall. >> everybody has walls. there are walls everywhere. there are supposed to be walls. the 19 -- the 2006, i think it was, fence act. both hillary clinton and barack obama voted for, that is essentially, you know, the wall that he was so rid ciewltd for. and i think that a big reason why trump was such a surprise here is because he did pick immigration. and immigration is something that both, you know, democrats have been for open borders for a long time now. and even democrats -- i mean republicans starting to become in favor of open borders. they have been jeered into the corner my gosh i'm a racist if he didn't support open borders. he took both parties bay surprise. >> for sure. >> all the people jumped in behind it. to answer your question about whether we get a wall or not, i don't know whether

we're going to have a physical great wall of china along the southern border with the big fat beautiful door, but, i think that if he simply enforces the laws that are currently on the books, and gets -- deports people who have committed crimes beyond that and does something about, you know, controlling, stopping the ongoing flow into the country, i think you do that much, and you are like 80% have solved the problem. >> yeah. >> i think a lot of pressure comes off of not only him in terms of keeping his wall promise but also in terms of what happens to the remaining illegal aliens who are here otherwise obeying the law. >> once you don't feel overwhelmed you. we don't agree on this issue. >> only like 57 minutes. >> 58 in that range. what's the argument against a wall? everybody is like the wall. but what is the rationale --

since you are a rationale person. what is the argument against the wall. >> i actually don't think there is much of an argument against a wall. democrats should have always had a kind of piecemeal but in one approach which is secure the border. whether you are going to do that physically or with border agents. the gang of 8 had 20,000 border agents which is more than donald trump was proposing. i don't think democrats are actually against this. i think they get stared about keeping latino votes. this election hasup ended that block role. see where that goes in the triewrt. if he want thissed to oppose republicans largely. we have a net flow out of mexican immigrants at this time. we had a million last time we did two years ago i believe it is. we will see where we go with this. donald trump can be really smart about this and he can put more border agents there. i don't know if he can build a wall or put in more fencing. put more fencing and agents in, you understand that the vast majority of these i

will locally immigrants who are here are hard working genuine people who just want a better life and talk about a pathway to citizenship. i don't know what language he has to use but 60% of americans favor that i mean, that's where it's interesting. the trump base build the wall, build the wall. lock her up. all that kind of stuff. the country isn't there and now is he president for all americans. >> you can solve this problem tomorrow if you crack down on employers not to hire i will really. >> pressure from both parties. >> republicans really. it really is the chamber of commerce. >> only people who don't have a chip enter of commerce working in their own behalf are american workers. >> could see trump's impact for decades to come. the supreme court he will nominate one justice we know that and perhaps a number more. here is what he said about supreme court appointments throughout his campaign. watch this. >> once the election is won, we will be able to put

supreme court justices up that will do a fabulous job. let me aslet me tell you if we e this elections we have three, four, maybe five justices. this country there will never recover it will take centuries to recover. >> the next thick have to pick supreme court justices. >> the justices i am going to appoint will be pro-life. they will have a serve bent. they will be protecting the second amendment. they are great people and people of tremendous respect. they will interpret the constitution the way the founders wanted it interpreted and that's very, very important. i don't think we should have justices appointed that decide what they want to hear. it's all about the constitution of and so important the constitution the way it was meant to be.

and those are the people that i will appoint. >> constitution the way it was meant to be. molly, i too think this specific issue is one of the main reasons that conservatives, evangelicals, voted for trump. is he not one of them but they thought we know exactly what she is going to do. is he going to make good on their hopes for the supreme court. >> unweather forecast only times you saw donald trump express humility during the campaign is when he talked about evangelical support for him. he understood that people were putting a lot of faith in him and a lot of trust in him. >> he is going to reward this. he committed to this last week when he said he was going to pit a justins from 21 conservative justices. that's going to happen. all the conservatives are in line to make sure this happened and for the rest of the nominee. this could really be his legacy is returning the court to a more constitutional. >> i think he will.

i will correct one thing. there was one other moment he expressed humility my favorite a lot of attack ads against me all of them lies. then he paused well not all of them lies. which i loved. the list of 21. is he not going to pick. why wouldn't he pick ted cruz. i know he is not on the list. it kind of takes him out of the political realm which would be helpful. >> i think it would be terrific. >> we would have ted cruz forever. >> he wouldn't be in the senate. democrats would be like -- they couldn't like vote for him fast enough just to get him out. >> true. >> but to along with what molly was saying, you know, it would kind of be a little frightening i don't want him to go anywhere off the list. this is one thing he can't ad-lib. this is the one thing he simply can't be left to his own fre freewheeling. as much as i love when is he freewheeling and off the wall and says crazy stuff. the day that antonin scalia

died was a terrifying moment. >> it was. >> even somebody who liked donald trump from the very beginning. it was sort of a terrifying moment. okay. he gets everything in the main generally and he understand you don't have to be an expert to run this country in my opinion. but, that one requires a certain appreciation of some of the finaller points that not entirely certain that he gets. which is dang appealing about him. he can make the argument go back to the original argument which is does the constitution mean what it says. as republicans or conservatives believe. or does it just mean whatever you feel like it means and, yeah, pause we want to change it but, you know, go into the changes of constitutional amendment is too much of a hassle. we just want to change it to mean whatever we say it means. that's a great argue: that's a great fight and conservatives should be able to win that fight. i could see a guy has plain

spoken as donald trump make argument: balance it has for. >> we have to pray that rbg lives forever. >> that would be ruth bader ginsburg. >> those of us who are not liberal. >> you still know who she is. >> it's the second appointment if one of the people from the left leaves the court. i mean, that's a real fight. what do democrats do? they don't have the majority. >> no. there is not a lot you can do. you can, you know, pray a little bit about it. find god. liberals find god about it. >> bring religion back to the democratic party. >> we'll see; you know, how the lay of the land looks when it actually comes out. yeah, i any there have a lot of hope that has to go along with it also the fact that president obama put ofmaker garland. he could have gone for extreme leftist judge not that he was going to get through any of this. he did try to go more

centrist and i believe hillary clinton would as well. she is more naturally anyway. there is more truth to the fact that republicans, at least trump he has an interest in working with democrats. republicans are very good position in terms of the court that is what i believe turned a lot of these never trumpers into trumpers for this purpose because they got scared about leftist. hillary clinton got into office. and, imre. all the praying. >> how grateful are you that harry reid has put the nuclear option on the table. >> so grateful. >> all right. we'll explore our gratitude in coming segments. donald trump hit obamacare left and right on the campaign trail, of course. now that he is the president-elect, what will he do with it? the president's signature law. that is next. stay tuned. ♪ ♪

party. they will just do anything. they will give away the store. we now have a divided republican party, a suspicious, at l suspicious republican party where you have republicans that control congress and they are suspicious of the republican president in the white house. that is a fantastic thing. that is exactly the way the founders designed it and that's what they -- you know, they wanted there to be that check on the executive branch. and i think that's a terrific thing. >> huh. do you buy that molly? >> i'm huge fan of gridlock. i hope that's what will happen. >> i am a little bit worried that in fact you seal a lot of deals being made that is going to make conservatives very unhappy. chuck schumer is a long-time ally and friend of donald trump. donald trump has funded his campaigns more than almost anybody else. they have relationship that goes back -- chuck schumer is not a stupid guy. is he going to be working with donald trump. he has already been cozying up and being friendly with him. loot of other democrats understand they need to be friend will with him too.

i'm worried because they need to start reporting facts instead of pushing narratives and need to do that? i do think call you overstatement i don't think calling christian amanpour a journalist. she is a commentator. they need to be systematic changes. one thing she did get right is donald trump has completely figured out how to bypass the media that's is good how they come to terms how they no longer hold this role as gait gate kee. they are going to be completely meaningless. >> that is the story. the press has much less power than we managed they did. and i don't think that's necessarily good. as loathe some and indefensible as they are. don't you want some commonly recognized source of credible information. >> absolutely. you know, the alternative as we saw in this election is atrocious. and as you say, it's not just the alternative media that cropped up in this, by the end of it. donald trump had reached

racist brush. some lied and said they were voting for hillary and undecided and voted for trump. >> this alt right stuff. filled ballrooms and all of a sudden they speak for conservatives. >> alt right is concerning. i'm not somebody who calls them supremacist. steve bannon says i am the messenger of the alt right. >> if you mean conservatives who rethinking what it means to be conservative, put me in that category. if you mean some nut case with creepy hitler salute. >> i'm told we are taking a commercial. we'll be right back. it was, of course, an amazing election year. but we are still thankful for a lot that happened and for what may be coming up in this coming year. our thanksgiving gratitude next. ♪ ♪

>> considering today is thanksgiving. why not take a little time out of the show to consider what we're most thankful for. jessica, what are you thankful for? >> going old school, family and friends. with good people around me. colleagues. and actually, i want to thank all the conservatives in my life who did not make me feel even worse than i already did on election night. no one rubbed it -- some guy outside of fox started chanting lock her up at me and asked if i was ever

going to be on television again that wasn't great. [ laughter ] >> thankful segment. >> fine, i take it back. family and friends and kind colleagues. >> charlie hurt? >> definitely family and all that. but another thing that i am absolutely thankful for in a political sense is that we do have a government of, you know, separated branches where they are jealously guarding their turf and i think the best chance of like an honest conversation, honest disagreement that we have seen in a long time. and that's a very, very positive thing. >> yes, i agree with that completely. molly? >> i'm actually thankful for this week for a friend of mine i'm graght her life. she was buried earlier this week barbara pauling. she was maybe of my cox she faithfully served her congregation for decades. her work included so much reconciliation between people. as we sit down and have

dinner with people we might not always agree with, good model about being peace makers in our community and. >> if you came out of her funeral feeling inspired good for her. i am thankful for my neighborhood. all whacko liberals. obama sticker. come that way. i like them all all. weird little bias fear where even though we hate each other's political views. pick up newspaper and mail. reminder politics isn't everything. really grateful to come home to that every night. >> that's nice. powerful. >> not powerful. [ laughter ] >> it's a big deal. >> actually always think that no matter how crazy it is. i go back and i think they all think i'm secretly liberal because they like me i can't actually believe what i believe. >> we are so much greater than our politics. >> it's true. >> posh to remember that. >> that is deep and true point.
