"tucker carlson tonight" with guest host ed henry coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." i'm ed henry in for tucker. on the one and only show sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think. yes, even though he is away he made me read that but i agree. come on, you have to admire tucker's boldness. let's get to it. wisconsin is preparing to recount votes cast in the 2016 election. the move comes as green party nominee jill stein has raised more than 5 million bucks to fund recounts in the key swing states of not just wisconsin, but also michigan and pennsylvania. all of it which went to donald trump by a very slim margin. what's really going on here? we have a member of the

green party standing by. first, the washington bureau chief for the milwaukee journal joins us. wig news today out of your state, the day after thanksgiving, what is happening on the ground and what do we think is the objective of jill stein. does she think she can still the results in wisconsin? >> well, she may think that. it does seem awfully improbable. given the margin right now is 22,177 votes. as counted by county and municipal clerks. that's a lot of votes to be overturned in a recount. there was a recount in a big statewide judicial election several years ago in wisconsin where about half as many people voted as did vote in the presidential election. and it only changed the final margin by about 300 votes. so, you know, can you imagine recounts changing vote margins on the margins but not a vote margin of 22,000 votes.

>> right. so it sounds to me that the chances of her actually having impact here might be slim to none and i also understand and please help us understand this tonight as we dig into this. on social media a lot of people are sending out notes saying that wisconsin state election laws suggest that you have to prove fraud for there to be any action here. is that your understanding of the law and. >> no. my understanding of the law is that if the margin is ultra narrow of a quarter point or less, you cannot only demand a recount but it will be paid for by the taxpayers. but if it's a little bigger than that, you can demand a recount but then you have to pay for it. so the right to request a recount is there if you are going to, you know, pick up the tabernacl --up the tab for . not a requirement for finding of fraud.

in this case the margin, this actually is only the third closest presidential race in wisconsin in the last five elections. i mean, 2,000 and 2004 race no recounts. big margin for a recount. you can ask for one. >> they can ask for one. what is the real rationale? were there serious and credible allegations of fraud? were there problems that people were reporting to your newspaper on election day? >> i haven't heard anything certainly on a scale that would account for the difference between the trump vote and the clinton vote. i mean, you know, a few days ago you had a report of some people who had looked at the numbers in wisconsin and pennsylvania and michigan, thought they saw irregula irregularities or egg

regulators in the voting pattern. voting systems and suggested that hillary clinton did worse in places where there was no paper trail on the balloting. there is no real evidence for that and it's also, i mean, one thing to keep in mind about the election system in wisconsin, which is relevant to what i just said and also relevant to a recount is that it unbelievably decentralized. you have more than 1800 municipal clerks and you had 70 county clerks and these elections, she's voting systems and a lot of elections about the elections are made not at the county level but municipal level. when you are talking about, for example, touch screen voting, that's all done at not at the county level but at the level of village, city, and town and so, it would be even more hard to imagine someone kind of rigging that process when you are talking about the

number of individual jurisdictions involved here and it also means a recount is a painstaking process. >> i got it certainly sounds like it's a long shot to say the least. we appreciate your insight tonight. craig gilbert joining us. enjoy your weekend. one group pushing for the changes is green rainbow party of the massachusetts. ian jackson is the president of that group. he joins us via skype. eian, tell us what you think is the real goal here for jill stein. >> real goal is to find the truth and everyone has had frustrations with computers before. so the idea is to use this at least as an audit of our electoral system, people have been slightly concerned about the trail and as your last guest pointed out it's

very decentralized. >> when you say slightly concerned, that doesn't sound to me like there is widespread allegations or more importantly evidence of some sort of fraud, so is this giving jill stein supporters some sort of false hope? >> well, we're trying to find what the count is and i'm not sure it's false hope. it's trying to find the truth behind the numbers. there has been these allegations by computer scientists but as your last guest pointed out, it was using different systems and using that being engineers, i'm a software engineer and we like our little we like our models, unless you check

it, suggest they use something different you mentioned your show is about finding truth. >> let's find that truth. my next question is, our last quest how cited sever times, craig gilbert accurately said in 2000 and 2004 the margin was even closer in the presidential race and there was no recount. so what's your case tonight? the case tonight you can see there was a real contentious election based on that people expressed concerns. best to find the truth and go through the process. and obviously people have been willing to put up

millions of dollars to count the votes again. >> if you really want to get at the truth can we get at another truth which is it appears that jill stein has raised $5 million for a recount that may or may not happen for fraud that may or may not have happened. if there is nothing found here and if there is not lee count will you pledge tonight that you and the others believe this money should be refund sod this is not money being raised on false hope? >> well, we're exploring that i'm only treasure for the green-rainbow party. if it doesn't get used, we're certainly going to discuss with our donors what their desire is for that money. >> we appreciate your time tonight in jackson. we certainly will be searching for that truth as well. the trump transition team today announced donald trump's picks for two major staff positions and added a new round of high profile meetings to his schedule next book.

peter doocy our man live in palm beach, florida where donald trump is spending thanksgiving holiday. these were two big posts that people had been waiting to hear all about, peter. >> you are right, ed, someone who has long accused president obama of leading from behind in the middle east is about to have her chance to show the next president how she thinks it should be done because the president-elect today, picked k.t. mcfarland as deputy national security director. she is best known for posts in the reagan pentagon and at fox news channel and will be paired with lieutenant general michael flynn the national security advisor who says he is excited about this appointment in a white house that is now set to approach america's enemies overseas in a much different way than we have seen in the last 8 years. today we also learned hot first white house counsel will be. his name is don mcgahn a former fec commissioner for rewriting the rules. depth of knowledge about ethics, makes him the kind of lawyer wanted on team.

rid the lobbyists and conflicts of interests draining the swamp in washington, d.c. those were the only two announcements we got about new editions to the trump team today. two people who haven't been offered any jobs yet most of the attention. mitt romney and rudy giuliani. they are said to be the favorite for secretary of state. at least they were until recently. the "new york times" is reporting there are red flags in rudie's business background. a third or fourth contender may enter the mix because the transition officials who favor romney are having a hard time convincing long time trump backers who trust this man who actively advocated against mr. trump. this morning on a conference call. transition officials insisted that the palace intrigue as they refer to it surrounding romney and all of these long time trump friends is overblown. so we'll have to stay tuned to see what happens with that. meanwhile, on monday, there are going to be 8 more job seekers. people looking for posts in the next administration. going up to the 26th floor

of mr. trump's office in midtown, manhattan. among them, the very well known milwaukee county sheriff david clarke and also the pennsylvania republican congressman lou barletta and the transition says they like everybody that's coming for different stuff. ed? >> like one big episode of the celebrity apprentice. peter doocy chronic ling all c chronicaling all of it for us. >> kerry, i want to start with you. what is going on with mitt romney and rudy giuliani. my information from people united states transition is that there are conversations ongoing in which mitt romney may have to issue some sort of apology publicly for saying that donald trump was a fake and a fraud. a phony, i guess was the accurate word. this would be something unprecedented if he were to go through with that. >> it's true that it was unprecedented but donald

trump apologized for a lot of what he said. i think it would actually make sense at this point there were a lot of hot temper. a lot of politics is war. so i think it would make sense to have a kum ba yah moment to say let's put this all behind us. i think that would make sense. i was certainly very critical of donald trump at this time. part of my fear was i was worried he was going to lose. i was looking at the polling and people like nate silver who shouldn't have a job at this point. all the data was going to suggest that trump shouldn't win among women and minorities. those fears didn't happen. >> lost among women and minorities but not as bad as we expected. >> polling saying only 10% among latinos as what happened and 2% of black voters. did he better. worse fierce were not realized. we want to govern. >> in talking about never trumpers, national review took a very public stance, your magazine against donald trump and now he obviously won. people are trying to mend

fences within the republican party. and i find it interesting that the establishment is behind mitt romney. a lot of conservatives though not happy with the idea that someone who was so public against trump now may get one of the most significant of all. what's your read of the conservative movement right now? >> well, on the question of romney, i would say this is -- maybe i'm not as oriented toward forgiveness as kerry is, because his criticisms were carrier criticisms. a lot of these people want mitt romney to say i said the grass was green in the spring i was wrong the grass is actually purple. that's nonsense. >> he didn't disagree on he said this man's character is off. >> i don't think it was a character question. it was also policy. this was about economic policy, for example a lot of us had to understand the chamber of commerce wing. those of us who are very pro-market. when you have this low

skilled just endless supply of immigrant labor we might like that as business owners that hurts middle america and we have to rethink a lot of these core principles that were unwilling to compromise on. >> to his point. pick it up there. >> i just -- i dissent from the idea that we want to go down the road of having these apology tours before you can be sort of taken in as a loyal member. i understand the loyalty question at issue here. that brings to the original question about the conservative, you know, movement and the response. i think what we have seen now is that conservatives constitute a smaller fraction of the right than we thought originally. so that means that for folks who consider themselves conservatives in the national review mold or "weekly standard" or this type of -- this type of conservative, the relationship with the republican party is now going to be much more transactional. we can't just assume that they're going to adhere to our principles and policy

ideas. that means when donald trump is right and wants to push him in that direction. >> conservatives who contacted me on twitter @ ed henry 2091 saying mitt romney should not be secretary of state, don't like him. he is done people furious on the right about him. >> he turned the olympics around. it was going into bankruptcy. he knows how to deal with international countries. this would be a mark of character on the part of trump. >> to show he is bigger. >> it is. >> see if turning around the olympics is turning around the world. ian and carey, we will come back to this. now it is that dark and stormy time for twitter storm. nightly forecast of social media's most extreme weather patterns. tonight a hail of criticism is reigning down, yes, on collin kaepernick. infamous for national anthem protest doesn't it seem like a nice bit of justice tonight that he is getting

this storm? he is doing a media call this week ahead of the 49ers game against the miami dolphins. we want to shrewd miami reporter are a armando. he wore a t shirt of fidel castro. cap per mick pointed out malcolm x was pointed out on the shirt. went on to praise cuban dictator on education and criminal justice reform. really? as you can imagine that did not go over well on twitter. crafty guy 2 tweeted he is the miley cyrus of football. he has no idea what he is or stands for. just wants attention. my truth, my tweet added honestly i believe he should take his football earnings with him and live in a communist country where he can share his wealth. good idea. finally john tweeted can someone please find him a cuban football team to be traded to so he can see just how good cuba really is, zing. i kind of like that one. that's tonight's twitter

warfare. technological advances in the last five years, including the explosion of social media outlets have created new opportunities for moscow to aimpressively push its propaganda and deflect criticism aimed at russian policies. after the european union voted wednesday to counter moscow's disinformation campaigns, president vladimir putin accused europeans of censors dissenting views. >> this means that we are witnessing a certain, in fact, an schroll obvious degradation from a political point of view of the perception of democracy in western societies. >> despite putin's public protests, expert who analyze social media say the russians are stepping up their game. >> they're trying to give the appearance that there is a public opinion, public attitude, public sentiment that favors whatever position they are trying to advance. they are trying to mask some of the discontent with the things that they're doing. >> the 2016 election exposed the prevalence and popularity of so-called fake

news. on different platforms and with different ageneral does. >> i think even 10 years ago the russians would have had a hard time getting anybody to believe a lot of these fake stories. but now with so many people sharing on twitter and instagram and facebook, it's almost like rocket fuel for propagandists trying to influence u.s. election. >> testifying before the thanksgiving break, the outgoing director of national intelligence cited moscow's recent successes in this arena. >> russians have a very active and aggressive capability to conduct information operations, so-called hybrid warfare. that's been a long-standing practice of theirs going back to the soviet era. and i anticipate that it will continue. >> and dni clapper told lawmakers that publicly calling out russian backed hackers just weeks before the election, in addition to dialogue between the u.s. and russian governments temporarily blunted the hacking activity, ed.

>> thanks, catherine. ♪ >> so what's next tonight we're asking what's next for america's small businesses. the stock market has been booming to record highs. it continued today. that's a good sign for wig business. what about the rest of the economy? and your communities? gene marks is a small business owner himself. he joins us from philadelphia. we've heard all about black friday. what are you hoping to get get out of small business saturday, gene. >> well, thanks for having me on, ed. small business saturday is a giant day. i don't know if you noticed when it was started in 2009 as a marketing campaign from american express. they were giving away rebates to people go to small businesses and buy. that exploited into this giant thing. 16 billion in sales last year for small business saturday and expectation that's going to go up even in this year. i think for a lot of small merchants around the country, a lot of small towns and shopping centers, they are making it a big day and it's a really great thing. >> i ask the question because we see so much on

black friday about the big box stores and wal-mart and target and hats off to them if the economy is humming, it helps everybody. but the mom and pop shop. the hardware store, the small bookstore in your community, that's the engine of growth. at least we heard that from both presidential nominees, hillary clinton and donald trump. they said that all the time. trump won. talk about his tax plan. what does it mean for our viewers? not just for wall street, what does it mean for people watching this show tonight if key pieces of his tax reform plan can get through next year? what will it mean for small businesses? >> i'm going to give you the biggest key piece that will effect millions of small businesses around the country, a lot of business owners like myself, ed, we file s corps returns which means when we file the returns the income comes on to our personal income statement. it's taxed as personal rates. donald trump wants to rereduce the corporate tax rate all the way from 35% down to 15% for a lot of small business owners, who have their income tack at a

personal rate to have that reduced down to 15% is enormous reduction in their taxes. that's a big reason why a lot of my clients and business owners that i know were really behind what his tax plan is there is a lot of other things that he wants to do which is also favor businesses. that the is biggest component. one thing i have to say though with every good comes the bad. the bad is that he really isn't sure how he is going to fund these tax cuts and that's concerning. >> put your finger on an issue that neither of the major party wants to answer about our debt. >> always a catch. >> talk about another important issue which our viewers care about which is obamacare. we have heard different signals from the president-elect. he says in the campaign he wants to repeal obamacare. now is he saying let's keep key pieces of it popular after lobbying from president obama. we hear this from small businesses all the time that obamacare has been been a big burden for them. talk about how that burden might be lifted in 2017. >> so for starters. if you have less than 50

employees right now under obamacare. you are really not subject to a lot of the rules and regulations in the sense of, you know, you have to provide health insurance to your full-time people. a lot of times people think of it as kind of a misnorm that small businesses are not affected because many of them have less than 50 people. not true. we are all affected by. average rates going up 25% on the obamacare exchanges around the country. that's had a complete trickle down effect to many of my clients. paying a lot more in health insurance premiums. affecting not only ourselves and our employees pushing these costs down on or employees, ted. ed. overall healthcare costs have been increased for everybody, it will of it's really a disappointment. trump is proposing many things alleviate that issue. block grants to the states. allowing us to deduct our healthcare premiums and

health savings accounts not only for company but individual. really grit stuff. a lot of uncertainty. >> you're on the marketing marks. we appreciate you doing that for us tonight and weiner you a good small business saturday. but in everyone's business out there hopefully it will be just as big or bigger for black friday. thanks for coming on tonight. >> good to see you. >> how is an entire spanish village suddenly get stocked with overnight millionaires? having a billionaire next door is a start. carona founder an tone yes fernandez was born and raised in a small village in spain before migrating to mexico and becoming, yes, a beer tycoon when he died in august of 1999. it was reported he left of the 80 residents of his home village more than $80 million each. it spread like wildfire internet and villagers. turns out the rumor of instant billionaires is just

that a rumor. or to quote a phrase fake news. maybe people were drinking too much corona when they started that rumor. a spokesperson confirms that he did not leave any money to the villagers in his will. but there are no hard feelings among his neighbors. villagers say the story got out of hand but they are actually happy what fernandez has done to benefit the village anyway. okay. will former masses mitt romney get a prime job in the trump administration? many of trump's closest advisors are not happy about that. they are saying that on twitter. we have new information about that next. campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese.

people who would be more naturally compatible with the trump vision of foreign policy. >> former arkansas governor mike huckabee is also sounding off on romney after bowing out of the presidential race, huckabee convictly got behind trump. >> but i'm still very unhappy that mitt did everything he could to derail donald trump. he attacked him on a personal level about his character his honor. >> back in march, romney set off a firestorm when he leveled a harsh critique plaintiff trump who was then the clear frontrunner during the republican presidential primaries. >> let me put it plainly if rerepublicans choose donald trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished. >> many of trump's staunchest allies have not forgotten that rhetoric. thousands have tweeted using the #never romney. mr. trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway poured gas lone on the flames when she

took time-to-out of the thanksgiving holiday start tweeting on the topic. receiving private communications about romney. some loyalists warn about against romney as secretary of state. she followed up flew around less. counseled potus more and were loyal good checklist. some interpreted that tweet as a sign conway favors a trump loyalist for secretary of state like former new york city mayor rudy giuliani who has been publicly campaigning for it. >> since i left mayor, this is a rough estimate, i have been in 80 countries. 150 different foreign trips. >> but mr. giuliani's international business ties are seen by some as a potential conflict of interest. a third option may be retired general david petraeus. the former cia director who also sounds like he wants the job. >> i have been in a position before where a president has turned to me in the oval office in a difficult moment and turned without any

pleasantries and asking you as president and commander-in-chief to take command of the international assistance force in afghanistan. the own response can be yes, mr. president. that can present problems, too. since trump has already appointed lieutenant general michael flynn to be his security advisor looking at james matis as potential secretary of state. and it could also get awkward since petraeus pled gguilty to handling classified information. during the campaign, of course, mr. trump invoked petraeus' process saying hillary clinton got off the hook in comparison. >> we are going to get a special prosecutor and we're going to look into it because you know what? people have been -- their lives have been destroyed for doing one fifth of what you have done. and it's a disgrace and honestly, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. >> wow while there may be infighting over secretary of state position there are some signs of unity among mr. trump and critics. earlier this week mr. trump retweeted an article written why, yes, national review

which ran a never trump edition during the republican primaries that prompted a response by brit hume when donald trump is tweeting national review can peace on the right be denied? to answer that question our political panel is back. ian, you work at the national review. is peace at hand? >> no,. >> you seem like. >> i'm all for making peace. we're not there yet. it's a time of detaunt, i think. more accurate. it's sort of what i said earlier. a lot of criticisms that we leveled at national review against donald trump early in the cycle i think still stand regardless of the fact that he won the presidency. so it's going to be the task of donald trump to reassure a lot of his conservative critics that he doesn't -- that he is not actually guilty of, you know, the things that he was accused of. on very good evidence. i think we had very good

reasons for leveling the criticisms that we did. we have said editorially we want donald trump to succeed, this is an exciting time. it's a frightening time in a certain respect but exciting time for conservatives with a pluck congress led by paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. >> arguing toward what ian is saying a team of rivals and having counter balances in there who are check on the president? >> i agree. that's what president-elect trump has done by selecting nikki haley who has been very outpony spoken critic that speaks to trump's character. the fact that he is willing to put people around him not just yes men and yes women. that's true leadership. that's what we want. honestly as conservatives, our thing is always about who is the most qualified? it's not about who is the most loyal. what race you are. what gender you are. we don't check those boxes. we say who is the most qualified person for the job who has the least baggage at this moment.

so people mentioned have a lot more baggage than mitt romney did in terms of their qualifications. >> anger among conservatives than you are both letting on. to give you one quick example. i mentioned earlier that my twitter account was running 9 to 1 among conservatives. jim in tuscaloosa alabama. you said 9 to 1 against snake mitt romney. that's false. closer 500 to 1. go on social media conservatives are furious at the idea that mitt romney may be secretary of state. ian, last word? >> well, i think this is in part a sort of knee jerk loyalty to donald trump. has he given signs that he is going to be a principled conservative the way that's traditionally been understood? i think there are some signs that we could get progress in that direction. but i don't think the case is closed yet. and so for conservatives who want to push forward a

principled agenda, that needs to be the first focus, not just falling in line behind what donald trump wants. >> carrie last word. >> he needs to be expansive leader and people who are not just going to toe the line. >> i suspect this conversation will continue among conservatives and all americans. ian and carrie sheffield thank you for coming in tonight. >> thanks. >> colleges around america are totally yes, melting down. they continue to melt down after the election. campus craziness is straight ahead. plus, president-elect donald trump is spending the thanksgiving holiday at march larlg go club: standing guy discuss what it will take to keep the president-elect safe there and in trump tower just a few blocks away. ♪
