factor web site, also different from billoreilly.com. name and town, if you wish to apply. word of the day, don't be persnickety. please remember, the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." pretty good show up ahead, we will be talking to a leader of one of the many airport protests that may have kept you from missing your flight. also debuting new segment segment, looking at what our top journalists really think when they are not writing or on camera. but first, president donald trump's executive order, seven majority muslim nations not be a now, aloud. it is faced astonishingly hostility. secretary sounds spicer said the mild down over the weekend with

unjustified. here's what he has said. >> this is a blown way out of proportion, in a 24-hour period that the lack -- it's the same that people were inconvenienced but at the end of the day we're talking about a couple hours. being able to come to america is a privilege, not a right. >> tucker: joining us now, this refugees settlement director -- thank you for joining us, mark. part of it, you said this. with the stroke of a pen, donald trump has advocated american values. i compared that against the public polling on the question and i thought it was interestin interesting. 57% agree with this. it is also going back a long time, i know you know this, strikingly low favorability on the question of whether we

should admit refugees at all. over the summer just for example, there was a poll on should we admit syrian refugees? 64% did not support it. are they not aware of american values? would you make of these people? >> all i will say is that my organization works on the behalf of the american jewish community. we would've closed down the 19th century if we went on poles. refugees have never been popular per se. that's why americans slammed their doors on refugees in 1921. people were trapped inside of europe in the holocaust and could not escape because the united states and other countries failed to protect refugees, failed to allow people to flee. >> tucker: you are saying the holocaust happened because of american immigration? >> no, absolutely not. what did happen was america turned its back on refugees at

that. period. we are not responsible for the crisis in syria but we have some response ability to protect the refugees that are fighting for their lives. >> tucker: here's why asked that first question. you have a legitimate point of view, for sure. when you invoke the phrase american values it suggests a set of absolute rules and i am not sure i know what those rules are. let's get right to what the rules are about american values as you put it. who has a right to come here? >> him it is not about having a right to come here, it's about america standing up for refugee refugees. >> tucker: i think we are basically saying the same thing. in obligation. >> they don't have a right to come here per se but a refugee has been approved for refugee status by the government should be allowed to come here. they were all turned away. i had to spend my saturday dealing with a syrian mother, her 5-year-old daughter,

8-year-old daughter, who is trying to join her husband who had asylum in connecticut. they had an approval notice, if cleared and abetted. they got on a plane in a mound where they been living in a settlement. they get turned around at jfk. >> tucker: that sounds like a nightmare. i'm very sympathetic to them. but i want to get back to the core principle here. you are saying it is an american value to admit refugees. i'm asking you what the standards are. 60 million refugees according to the united nations. poverty, bad government, no health care. what percentage of those do we have an obligation under the american values you refer to to admit? >> i will tell you one thing, the percentage is not zero. i am not going to -- >> tucker: anyone who is against what you are for is

somehow -- that's a big thing to say. >> america has been welcoming refugees throughout its history, with some very shameful interruptions such as the interruption between 1921 and 1965. >> tucker: you are not answering the question. how do i know which refugees need to come here if i'm going to apply the american values that you are referring to? what are the rules? if you're going to run about with moral statements, tell me what the rules are so i can be a good person. it's become you need to welcome those people who need protectio. the united states need to play a role. the united states is the leader and refugee protection. what makes us a leaders and not the number that we take. it's how we treat refugees when they come here. he is not known as a refugee when the come here, we don't put them in camps, we welcome them as new americans. >> tucker: we spend huge amounts of money on them, as you know. it takes a lot of tax dollars.

>> i'm glad you raised that. >> tucker: i'm saying we are really generous. you are not answering the question which is, in a world where there are tens of millions of people who are fleeing all sorts of awful things, how do we know what our obligation is? you said we have an obligation, you do this for a living, you are a smart guy, tell me so i can evaluate all future policies through that lens. >> you just of my organization takes a lot of tax dollars. i am obligated to respond to that. >> tucker: get to my question, though. >> we get $2,075 per refugee. that is true, from the state department. what do we do with that? pick them up at the airport, bring them to the apartment which we rent. we pay three months rent for that apartment. we stock it with food, put furniture in it. we get the kids in school. we got them some medical

appointments. >> tucker: i am glad. but you are dodging the questio question. >> we teach them english. i pay my staff without money. $2,075. try to pay rent without amount of money. for three months. >> tucker: you are a little defensive on the question. the majority of your money comes from taxpayers. they have an interest in knowing what the rules are. with the policy is. it's not just you are a private organization, you are taking money from people by force through the tax code. it our money. how do we know we have an obligation to let someone in? do we have an obligation to let all 60 million people in? >> absolutely not. how can we play a role, how can the united states make refugees safe by taking some and allowing

the host country to protect. >> tucker: but not with any specifically, you're not answering my question. scapegoat vulnerable human beings, to confuse those who are fleeing terror with terrorism. >> tucker: i feel for them and i think they are probably very good people. anyone who is worried about refugees, your statement says, as some kind of crackpot or a bad person. i can review the list of terror attacks or plots by refugees. they are real, there's not a ton but there are some. the people have a right to be concerned. >> of course. everyone who comes to this country should be screened and refugees are screened more thoroughly than any immigrant or any american. >> tucker: to ask the refugees that you bring in -- do you believe for example in female

genital mutilation? >> we don't bring in -- >> tucker: to do you ask questions like -- >> refugees tend to be very apolitical. >> tucker: why don't you ask them do you believe in the country you are coming to? >> they have one thing on their mind, they want a normal life. they want to become americans. >> tucker: do they believe in the constitution? >> one of the great things about this country is it refugees are on the path to citizenship the moment they enter. >> tucker: you're not answering my questions. >> part of that is to take a civil civic exam, swear allegiance to the constitution. >> tucker: you are saying you're paying for their

schooling, getting them jobs, you don't want a bunch of people believing in female genital mutilation coming to our country? why don't you say we don't do that here? >> homeland security scans refugees, not me. i told you how much money we got and what we do without money. >> tucker: we are out of time. trumps executive order isn't just barking defiance from protesters, it's also riling up the justice department. her department will refuse to -- we are joined by trace gallagher. hey, trees. >> the reason the acting attorney general will not defend the president's executive orders is because she is not convinced it is legal. in a statement late today, sally eight said -- my responsibility is not only legally defensible y our best view.

critics say her decision is much more political than legal. in the meantime, despite protests and legal challenges, the administration is calling it a success story with the president himself blaming any disorganization on others, tweeting... referring of course to chuck schumer who teared up when he talked about the band. today, trump signed another executive order living up to his one into ad campaign promise, meaning for every new regulation the feds want to impose on businesses, to existing regulations would have to be defunded by the office of management and budget. before signing the order, mr. trump invited business leaders to the white house for a listening session where he said it's time to let small

businesses thrive. watch. >> the american dream is back. we are going to create an environment for small businesses like we haven't had in many, many decades. this is not on -- this is a knock on everybody. >> so far wall street has embraced the trump presidency, though the markets were down today over what experts called the uncertainty surrounding the president's immigration order. >> tucker: well, trace gallagher, thanks a lot. the refugee story is giving one of america's hottest companies a grand opportunity for more posturing. the ceo of huber said our company is always standing up for what is right, it he pledged to use uber's lawyers for the ban. the company's entire business

model relies on using illegal loopholes to deny drivers health coverage or an offense. and over executive once called for the targeting of families of critical journalists and then leaking their personal information online as a form of intimidation. perhaps uber is not the ideal company to giving the rest of us sanctimonious lectures. get back to us, if you would. the screen actors guild award was last night, he can probably guess where this is going. a bunch of stars used what may have been a nonpolitical event as an opportunity to denounce the government. >> this immigrant band is a blemish and it is un-american. >> anyone that is in an airport belongs in my america. you are part of the fabric of who we are and we love you and we welcome you. >> tucker: this spells trouble

ahead for the new administration because when you lose hollywood, you always lose santa monica and that is not good. coming up, the trump administration has a furiously active first week. we talked to steve miller, top advisor to the president, coming up. a california lawmaker wants to mandate the school teaches kids that russia hacked the last american election. we will talk about what inspired this idea. add one a day men's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus heart-health support with b vitamins. one a day men's in gummies and tablets. with toothpaste or plain water.an their dentures and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday.

polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. hey, ready foyeah. big meeting? >>uh, hello!? a meeting? it's a big one. too bad. we are double booked: diarrhea and abdominal pain. why don't you start without me? oh. yeah. if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi, a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage

both diarrhea and abdominal pain at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have or may have had: pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a blockage of your bowel or gallbladder. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. stay ahead of ibs-d... with viberzi.

>> we don't want any ban, we don't want any wall. we do not want a fascist usa.

>> trump does not want people like me in the united states. >> donald trump has got to go! >> i don't want that ban representing me as an american. >> this is what democracy looks like! >> tucker: that is protesters protesting president trumps refugee ban, they did it in airports across america. thousands turned out from coast to coast. we are joined now by a leader of one of those protests, he is in oregon. he is part of portland rent assistance. thanks for joining me. >> thank you for having me here, mr. koehler's home. mr. carlson. >> tucker: you aren't particularly spun up about these executive orders. what bothers you about this?

>> we have seen a lot of action coming from the white house since january 20th. it just seems like we see so much coming at us, so much to read. we are responding. for me, i am very troubled to feel that president donald trump -- who was elected -- this is a man who did not receive the majority of the popular vote, that is a first for the country. it is emblematic of the fact that we are pretty divisive as a country right now, upon political spectrums, rural versus liberal. the country right now it's reacting. there are a lot of people who feel like their voices were not heard during the selection. i think what we are seeing -- >> tucker: you are reacting for sure. it has happened before. whatever, i see your point.

you don't like trump. have you read the executive orders that you are protesting against? >> i have read a number of them. i have not read all of them. if he signed more -- he did sign more than i can probably count. different islamic organizations, aclu are spreading messages about what is happening. i am also reading about the federal judges who've been ruling as well. and the attorney general, statewide and nationally who are also decreeing orders. there is a lot to read out there. i'm not going to say that i've read everything. it's just happening so fast. we have a white house that is taking action. >> tucker: you can pull it up. just in case he did not read it, here's a part that you may agree this. i thought of you when i read this. the united states should not

admit those who engage in actions of bigotry or hatred, those who oppress americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation. do you agree with that? >> i am curious about how that relates to the seven countries that was put on the travel immigration refugee ban. >> tucker: what are the seven countries? >> you are asking which? iran, iraq, i can't list all of them. there is five others. i believe that turkey is probably on that, syria is probably on it. >> tucker: there are different countries. here is the point -- >> saudi arabia is not on it. trump has had business interest in that we have seen not on the list. how do you get on that list or not? >> tucker: i want to get back to this quote then, what you think of that?

you should make sure before people come here that they are not going to be committing acts of discrimination when they get here. >> i am just really confused -- there were people who were already in the air, who have family here, and they can leave the airport. have we not already proven that they love this country? >> tucker: i want to get back to the specific -- do you think it is a good idea or not? should we say hey, we do not discriminate on the basis of race or or sexual orientation? are you for that? >> tucker: the application of this executive order is already questionable. they have never shown -- these people are being discriminated against. we are burning bridges in this

country. >> tucker: we'll be right back. fox news alert, president trump has fired sally yates of georgia. he is naming dana in the acting role in her place. steve miller will be here to discuss his breaking news which is significant. right now, back to chris cameron whitten. sorry to break you in there, you just heard that the president has fired the acting attorney general. i want to get back to something you just said. he said you showed up in airports and part of the reason you want is because there were virtuous refugees stuck in those airports and they could not get in the country. i wonder if it occurred to that by protesting outside those airports, you prevented normal people from getting on airplanes and going to do their jobs or to see their family or an ailing

loved one. i'm wondering why you thought you had the right to do that. it hurt people who had nothing to do with these executive orders or might agree with you. why did you have a right to hurt them? >> i want to bring her back to the fact that this all happened because people were not able to come onto american soil. i understand you are asking now out of concern about people that were inconvenienced. we have people who celebrated their first amendment rights, the act of nonviolent civil disobedience we know that democracy is messy. we have people who defend freedom here and abroad. >> tucker: cameron, i've heard all of this before.

i agree with the first amendment. i just want to ask a really simple human question. did you think about the people you were hurting when you blocked access to airports? there is some normal person who wants to get through. >> their motivation is love. that is why we are out here. we are out there so we can spread a message that the entire world can hear. we cannot allow one person who just got into office now treat the narrative for this country. people are out there showing love. >> tucker: what about the normal people? >> they got on the planes. it happened, actually. >> tucker: for a man who is about love, you don't seem to care. what about normal people who signed no executive orders? you are hurting them. just acknowledge that you care about them a little bit. do you? >> yes, i care about everybody in the country. they did get onto their plane.

>> tucker: as if seen tonight, trumps executive order has because the left to declare itself the guardian of tolerance. with that in mind, some refresher headlines you may have missed. alabama teen hospitalized after posting blue lives matter on facebook. man beats woman with chair for criticizing hillary. sucker punched supporting trump at a rally. we can go on and on and on. that is today, and portland, oregon, bashed a trump fan on the head. and called him a fornicating nazi. his net nazis who used violence against their political opponents? coming up next, we talked a trump senior advisor steve

miller, president trump fired the acting attorney general just minutes ago, we look at the latest on that. stay tuned [john] what if instead of waiting weeks for your

tax refund, you can get an advance on that refund? [zombie] an advance on my tax refund. [john] doesn't take brains to see the value in that. [zombie] ha! [john] arghh. [vo] you can get a refund advance of up to $1250 no interest at block. [john] get your taxes won.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert, not long ago president trump fired acting attorney general sally yates, a holdover from the obama administration. she refused to promote his immigration order. instead she has now chosen dana

boente. he is the very center of all this, where exactly he stands, stephen, great to see you. i first have to ask you about the news, one did this happen? what does it mean and tell us about the replacement. >> we found out an obama appointee who was confirmed in 2015 was refusing to enforce the president's immigration order. thus refusing to defend the constitution. it was a betrayal of her office and she is being replaced by somebody who will enforce the laws of the united states. >> tucker: is that person confirmed? >> no, it will be in acting position. >> tucker: i could be wrong but in order to sign certain warrants, federal warrants, you need to have someone in the justice department with a senate confirmation. >> there are many layers of people in the justice department who have been senate confirmed.

obviously jeff sessions will be there very soon as well. we all look forward to that very much. >> tucker: this does break precedent. i can't remember the last time anything like this happened. it is not a common thing anyway. critics are going to say wait a second, if you get in the way of what the president wants, they are going to start invoking nixon? >> the justice department would refuse to defend a lawful federal order for political reasons. that is dangerous to our constitutional system. when somebody sues the government of the united states for doing its duty, the justice department is defending the taxpayers of the united states in defending the constitution of the united states united states. refusing to do that is a betrayal of the office and it is unconscionable to do so. as you well know, during the obama administration, order after order after order was issued that violated immigration law. that repealed it.

the pulled it. throughout all of the outcome of the obama justice department stood by and supported those unlawful actions. president trump comes in and directs agencies to follow the law as written, protect the country, and the acting attorney general says i am not going to do it. >> tucker: are you confident the new acting attorney general will defend his orders? >> i am. as you understand, the core power of the federal government on immigration is its right to deny entry to any alien at any time if it believes that to be the national interest in national security. >> tucker: you have been identified in the media in the last couple of days -- goat >> almost all of it glowing. >> tucker: flattering in the sense that you been giving quad wow credit for the driving force behind these executive orders. new york magazine had a piece saying, what is stephen miller's

job anyway? what is their job anyway? >> i get a lot more credit than i deserve. the orders were drafted by a team of some of the most qualified and talented lawyers in the united states of america. i had the privilege of being involved in the review process and it also included the office of legal counsel. many of those people who are careers, cleared out and approved it is fully legal. i'm proud to have the opportunity tonight to stand up for his order and defend not order as lawful, necessary, and important. as you understand, the united states admits 80 million people year as visited into our country. the idea that we can't exercise even a small amount of restriction to protect our country from people we can properly screen? that's the most basic exercise of federal authority.

>> tucker: should the supply to green card holders? >> they actually do not. they can bar anyone from entering the country who is a noncitizen if it is a threat to the united states, if there is a cause for doing so. they have already been waived through. >> tucker: sews no restrictions on green card holders. >> again, i am flattered by the suggestion but i have never attempted nor run a national security council meeting. >> tucker: interesting. they said it flat out. and you are denying it. what is your purview at the white house? >> policy matters. a lot of people have a lot of say in making decisions, i'm just one voice. i'm blessed to have the opportunity to have a voice but the more interesting thing tonight to discuss right now is you and i and ever and listening

is how do we keep this country from falling into the same trap that happened parts of europe? places like germany, france, a permanent intergenerational problem of islamic rattler colors radicalism. how do we keep that from happening in america? if we don't change the way we think about immigration, if we don't think about the way we screen and event the entry process, that will happen in our country. that is a certainty if we don't take strong action today. >> tucker: you're absolutely right. stephen miller, thank you. up next, we are joined for news reviews. the most foul cases of media malpractice over the last week. this week's cases truly reek. we will also talk to a lawmaker from california and wants to force high school students to learn about russian hacking and this past presidential election. could it be anything other than

politics? i don't know, we will ask him. stay tuned. every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be help starting your business, vendor contracts or employment agreements. legalzoom's network of attorneys can help you every step of the way so you can focus on what you do. we'll handle the legal stuff that comes up along the way. legalzoom. legal help is here.

"the acting attorney general sally yates has betrayed the justice department by defendant not defending a executive order." she's very weak on legal immigration. she will be replaced by new acting attorney general, dana boente, i'm not sure exactly how to pronounce her last name. we are joined now by old friend, how we kirk.

>> this is a bomb shell, tucker. likening this to richard nixon, 1973 when he fired and attorney general who refused to fire the watergate. the parallels completely off because as he just noticed, sally 13 yates, she's not makig legal arguments against the actions. she is saying it is a moral matter. the president coming back and saying this is your politics. some people will argue it's the other way. >> tucker: that is the striking thing about sally yates' statement that the adjusted up department under her would not be defending these. she didn't bother to make a legal case. it is almost an a legal statement that said in effect, this is wrong.

>> when you are the government's lawyer, you can always resign. she made a statement that she is not going to defend. jeff sessions, democrats are delaying that a bit. it's within its rights to say i'm going to put my own person in. it will fuel the criticism of those who don't agree with this policy on immigration and temporary ban on refugees. saying trump has to get his own person in there. she's an obama holdover, that to me major part of the story. >> tucker: but would it seem to be -- the thinking on this from the trump administration? >> if president trump did nothing, he would have a justice department that it was not going to go into their corner, lawsuits to defend his position and whether you agree or disagree with it, it is his right as president to issue the executive order. where he could say look, this is somebody from the democratic administration, he makes the political charge, she is out of there, he puts his own person and who will only be in there

until sessions is confirmed. then he has some legal backup from the doj which is what any president would get from his or her own -- >> tucker: this would increase the intensity of the nomination of senator jeff sessions of alabama. >> one could certainly see additional -- for democrats to drag their feet even further. obviously, a big supporter of trump during the campaign, going to come in here with the news abuse. they have a big headline about this controversy, president trump's first defeat. this is not by some random dude cometh by the editor in of politico magazine. a political embarrassment, well that's not a defeat. he is going to get his way on this. it has certainly caused a lot of protests. a lot of people.don't it. i got off to a very rocky road. i think sally yates raised it,

he raised his own one putting in his own person. that will create a lot of criticism and media coverage. if you chip away the politics of the moment, unless he's ordering something illegal, i don't think anybody has suggested this is a legal >> tucker: how can you assess whether this is a victory or a defeat three days in? >> of course, president trump and his people have made no secret, they think they're getting coverage. he's done a lot of very controversial things. at the same time, people are going to be clear declaring it a defeat, as a temporary ban. 90 days, 120 days depending on the situation. it seems to fuel the white house notion that it is very hard to get an even break with this

president in his opening days in office. >> tucker: most of the splayed outcome of the protests over the weekend. not all of our viewers are going to be familiar with what happened. i instead saw a great deal of outrage, sort of undisguised outrage from the press saying this is immoral. >> here is what is so surprising up about that. repeatedly during the campaign, trump said this is what he's going to do. when you talk about the campaign and get many of the press acting as if this is some shock. the white house rushed this order, lot of consequences, all part of the story. we should debate it. it is a legitimate subject for journalistic scrutiny. there's this shock and some negativity that a new president actually did something controversial as it was that he promised during the campaign. >> tucker: may be the core question, how do you not become

europe? how do you not become the society that is totally divided along lines? because of your immigration policy? >> there is the security side, terrorist getting onto our shores, the weeping statue of liberty. would love to take in these immigrants. that is a debate. i think the press coverage has spoke pretty heavily on the side of how this is somehow against refugees. it's hard to know where the line should be drawn. this is what trump campaigned o on. >> tucker: have you seen any news outlets -- that at least raised the questions? >> yes, some heavy criticism and muted praise. many of the republican party are not embracing this. it's not the usual right left divide.

certainly, when kellyanne conway and reince priebus and sean spicer get on the sunday shows, they made the case but by and large, the underlying tone is one of outrage. nbc nightly news cast tonight, standing in a new jersey park with statue of liberty in the backdrop. >> tucker: not a subtle message. howard kurtz, great to see you. up next, we will talk more about what has just happened tonight during this show. the president's firing of his acting attorney general, sally yates. laugh more from stephen miller, he will rejoin us in just a minute. ♪"all you need is love" plays my friends know me so well. they can tell what i'm thinking, just by looking in my eyes. but what they didn't know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. i used artificial tears from the moment i woke up... ...to the moment i went to bed. so i finally decided to show my eyes some love,...
