tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News February 13, 2017 6:00pm-7:01pm PST
6:00 pm
team analyzed this. please always or member that the spin stops here. because we are definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." does it ever seem like the media gets weekly memos? fear, hundreds of illegal immigrants were in i.c.e. rates across several states. you might think no big deal but the press apparently got the memo saying otherwise. fear spreads across u.s. blared one cnn headline. fear grips immigrant communities. deportation rates spark fear in communities. what is this new for your
6:01 pm
epidemic? we're doing tonight from cleveland, thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> tucker: the government of mexico is spending tens of millions of dollars to fight these executive orders and that they are mobilizing u.s. conflicts across united states to help people in the united states who are here illegally remain here. why is the government of mexico doing that? >> i cannot speak for the government of mexico but i can speak for the people i deal wit with, you mentioned fear, i think it is donald trump, steve miller, steve bannon who are the ones we are perpetuating fear. that's an overt attempt to create chaos. we need a president who is going to bring stability. who is going to bring us confidence, who is going to respect the rule of law. we have a president to in the first three weeks of his term has got ninth circuit rulings against him because he has
6:02 pm
violated the constitution, he's got a battery of lawsuits out of new york. he's got people trapped in airports which the court took care of. this is not america. this is not what we are. we can do better. >> tucker: i want to get back to something you said which i agree with, chaos is something to avoid. please do not take a pass on this question. the foreign minister of mexico under vicente fox, a princeton graduate said that the new strategy among rich people in mexico it is to fund lawsuits that will tie up our judicial system, he said he would like to increase his backlog and bring our system to a halt until the president relents. that is a strategy based on creating more chaos, is it not? >> i am not a mexican official. if you want to talk to them,
6:03 pm
bring them on the show. but i can tell you -- hang on, let me answer your question, tucker. you mentioned the immigration backlog, 500,000 cases. why is that? the republicans refuse in 2013 to pass an immigration reform bill in the house of representatives even though the boats were there. we could have reformed the immigration system and you and i would not have become very havig this conversation. where people are are not as panicked. >> tucker: come on. i do not think the so-called immigration reform would have fixed everything. but i'm so struck by is that you are unwilling to even comment on what the a mexican government is doing. two months ago, the russians were trying to follow with our system. the outcome, here you have the mexican government on our southern border saying we are going to suck down the judiciary
6:04 pm
and you have no comment on that? >> our article one courts are the same one that ruled against donald trump, if you want to talk about the judiciary, as the president. he's trying to delegitimize that in our country. >> tucker: let's have a rational back and forth. i know that you do not like trump and you're mad about a bunch of different things. we are talk about immigration policy i'm just asking you to comment on something in the news today about the russian government trying to enforce our immigration policy in the same way that you would like to and i'm wondering why do you think they're doing that and is it legitimate? >> i do not know what the russian government is up to. the mexican government -- i did not know what they're up to. we as americans ought to be running our own courts, i'm her own immigration policy. i do not think other government
6:05 pm
governments, mexico, russia, israel, france ought to be involved in our judicial system. what i do want to see though and this is why you said i was angry at, what i'm concerned about is we have a new president and what this president has done together with people like steve bannon and stephen miller who by the way was on television yesterday yesterday -- >> tucker: this is silly. i'm not here to defend him but let's get back to the core issue here. i am serious. why do you think that we have 11-12-13 million people living in this country? maybe since you do this for a living and have thought about it, rich people mexico want them to stay here because they do not want to pay for the social savings, we want the american middle class to pay for this. >> i am talking about the people
6:06 pm
here. i'm talking about 11 million people, most of whom have been here for many years, most have long ties to the united states. they pay their taxes, mind you to icn, who do you think is supporting our social security system? the immigrants in this country came to this country like my grandfather did when he fled the holocaust. they came here for a better life. they came here for in most cases shelter. what we have now is a president who wants to turn and throw out refugees who are coming in and need the shelter. he wants to throw out immigrants were coming here to bring the best and brightest. what a bc last week? doctors who were thrown out of the country -- >> tucker: you're getting into the talking points which i hear every day and are boring. i want to get to the principles here. he said these people came here to work and search for better life. i don't doubt that. but there are a lot of people
6:07 pm
who would like to move to other countries for a better life and i'm wondering if all of them have the absolute right to do that. just to give you one among many, detroit -- do they have the right to move illegally to canada and go on canadian welfare programs and take canadian jobs and should the u.s. government be encouraging that? >> well, of course not. >> tucker: what you mean, of course not? >> you asked me to answer your question. it >> tucker: i'm just surprised. >> i don't think anybody promotes that. what i am here to talk about -- >> tucker: you've been saying it for 7.5 minutes. but they do not have a right to go to canada? only a right to come here? what is a consistent theme here. >> the theme is we need to fix an outdated immigration system.
6:08 pm
>> tucker: that doesn't mean anything. they do not have a right to move to any other country, why the double standard? >> people have contributed to this country, people who have followed the rules, people who have children that have grown up in this country. people who have paid their taxes, people who will learn english, people who wait be vetted through security screenings, we want to know who is here. that will make us safer. >> tucker: the president says we deport people who have committed felonies. >> nobody is arguing about whether or not we should deport felons or national security risks, tucker. that's the whole point. under the obama immigration enforcement priority, felons and national security risks and up recent border crossers were a
6:09 pm
number one for deportation. at donald trump or if general kelly really wanted to keep these enforcement priorities in place, why did they have to replace them? >> tucker: that's what they've been doing. the i.c.e. roundups in the last week were almost exclusively of people with criminal records. is this what we should fear? >> let me push back again. i know what i.c.e. is saying and i know what secretary kelly said today. what we do not have at any of those reports is transparency. they are not telling us exactly who -- we've had members of congress, the hispanic caucus, what we want is some transparency here. >> tucker: i'm a little bit disappointed in the argument you marshaled. white house suggested today that president trump could potentially fire national security advisor michael flynn
6:10 pm
over his wiretapped conversation with the russian ambassador to the united states. there's a lot going on washington. we go to trace gallagher. >> tucker, national security advisor michael flynn irons there has the full confidence a president trump or he does not, depending on who you ask. we learned tonight that the doj warned the white house that flynn may have been swayed by russia. whether he discussed the once trump took office, if true, that could be a violation of the logan act which spans private citizens from engaging in foreign policy. initially, michael flynn denied talking about sanctions and mucw is staying sanctions were discussed and has apologized to the vice president. the white house gave different takes on flynn's current status. listen. >> yes, general flynn does enjoy the full confidence of the president. >> the president is evaluating the situation. he is speaking to vice president
6:11 pm
pence, relative to the conversation, and also speaking to various other people about what he considers the single most important subject there is -- our national security. >> also interesting that the president did not use the opportunity of a joint news conference with canadian prime minister justin trudeau to show support for michael flynn. not a single flynn question was asked during the new server and questions that were shouted to the president on the way out were ignored. though trump and the canadian prime minister struck a cordial note, the two have vast differences on trade, immigration, global climate change and questions were skirted by both leaders. the p.m. is saying he is not here to lecture another country. district court judge james robart has taken another shot at the administration saying the case is moving forward. that's exactly what the
6:12 pm
department of justice did not want to happen. today the doj asked the judge robart to delay proceedings in his court until the full ninth circuit courts can hear the cas case. washington and minnesota have to respond to the ninth circuit by thursday but judge robart said i am not prepared to slow this down, while the ninth circuit considers further appeals. it appears the administration can either fight this in district court, make an emergency appeal to the supreme court, or rewrite the executive order to make it easier to uphold in court. as of today, all of those options are still on the table. separately moments ago, a federal judge in virginia has now issued a preliminary injunction against the travel ban which puts the executive order further into limbo. finally, steven mnuchin was confirmed by the senate as the treasury secretary, the vote was largely along party lines,
6:13 pm
53-47, joe mansion was the only democrat to vote in favor. the 54-year-old steven mnuchin who was sworn in moments ago by vice president mike pence, watch. >> it is my great honor tonight to present to the american people our new treasure secretary of the united states, steven mnuchin. stephen, i want to congratulate you. a lot of people wanted that position. a lot of people. a lot of very successful people. >> munition will hit the ground running, considering the present to have said he will be in charge of renegotiating trade deals. tucker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, ladies and gentlemen. a journalist in new york city has come out of the closet as a conservative. we will talk about how his former friends drove him right over the edge and into conservatism. pierce morgan argued -- he will

6:16 pm
6:17 pm
6:18 pm
lockstep, curious and mean-spirited. though he did vote for hillary clinton, he was still rethinking things. he joins us from new york. thank you for coming on. >> thank you, i left my scarlet letter at home. >> tucker: you had this really interesting piece in "the new york post." the part that jumped out at me immediately with the fact that after doing this profile which you described as pretty straightforward, not for my little against, kind of telling who he was -- but one of your friends the sound you as a friend. >> the subject repeated constantly. when i voted for hillary clinto hillary clinton, everyone just assumed i was a trump supporter. i was extremely balanced and i treated him no differently than i would've treated anyone else. but people are not accustomed to hearing those sorts of stories about controversial figures,
6:19 pm
people on the far right. >> tucker: you found yourself looking at the community you live in three very different lengths all of a sudden and what did you see? >> paranoia, mean-spirited nest and an aversion to understandin understanding. an aversion to communicating with people who do not agree with you. understanding why exactly trump became so popular and eventually won. now that the election is over, sort of evaluating how the democratic party and the far left alienated people and how they messed up so badly. i thought after the election they would have sat down and had a come-to-jesus moment. that has not happened at all. >> tucker: interesting, you wrote this piece before the election, right? >> yes, about a month before. >> tucker: the reaction is so interesting, the world you live in was ascended. every rights battle that's been fought over the past ten years, a victory. it looked like hillary clinton
6:20 pm
was going to be elected. why the closed mindedness and paranoia? >> that's a very good question. i do not know if it is the nature of people are not taught to think critically, the friendship bubbles, social media bubbles, this reinforcing of hearing your opinions about it back at you constantly. uncontrollable paranoia. it is really sad and damaging to journalism, journalists are terrified of these. it's just very, very sad and upsetting and more people -- i do not think it's the majority of people and the majority of people on the left. >> tucker: i do not think it is either. not with the people i know. one of the saddest casualties along with decency and open-mindedness is curiosity. when you sort of get in a place like that, it's very hard to be
6:21 pm
interested in people who disagree with you and for journalist, yeah? >> yes, and it is for gay. i have always said that gay people are natural libertarians. so long throughout history, outside of contemporary society, one thing we've always wanted was to be left alone by the government and by our neighbors essentially. now the right has become -- or the left has become purely puritanical and it was off putting. >> tucker: what a journey you are on. i hope you keep writing about this. most of you were appalled when rioters halted a speech by milo yiannopoulos, up next we will talk to an activist who helped organize those protests. stay tuned for that. in your case literally - and turn it into medical discoveries, diagnostic breakthroughs...

6:23 pm
6:24 pm
ththen out of nowhere...crying. third time that day. i wasn't even sad. first the stroke, now this. so we asked my doctor. he told us about pseudobulbar affect, or pba. it's frequent, uncontrollable crying or laughing that doesn't match how you feel. it can happen with certain neurologic conditions like stroke, dementia, or ms. he prescribed nuedexta, the only fda-approved treatment for pba. tell your doctor about medicines you take. some can't be taken with nuedexta. nuedexta is not for people with certain heart conditions. serious side effects may occur. life-threatening allergic reactions to quinidine can happen. tell your doctor right away if you have bleeding or bruising.
6:25 pm
stop nuedexta if muscle twitching, confusion, fever, or shivering occurs with antidepressants. side effects may include diarrhea, dizziness, cough, vomiting, weakness, or ankle swelling. nuedexta made a difference by reducing my pba episodes. ask about nuedexta and go to nuedexta.com >> tucker: it has been two weeks since riders at uc berkeley forced >> tucker: it has been two weeks since riders at uc berkeley forced the cancellation of a speech by milo yiannopoulos, most people were appalled but besides working as a public school teacher, integration and immigrant rights and fight for equality by any means necessary, pam is the acronym, into a political, her disrupting something in sacramento. >> [bleep].
6:26 pm
>> go, boy! >> [bleep]. >> [bleep] you! >> standdown! >> tucker: she helped organize the berkeley protest and she said actavis ought to copy the tactics. she is with us now. you did a bunch of interviews after and you were asked about this and to your credit i think you were very straightforward and unapologetic and said the sky was a fascist and we shut them down. and that is what you do with fascists. just so we can understand the standard here, what is a fascist? >> a fascist is someone who is organizing a mass movement attacking women, immigrants,
6:27 pm
black people, other minority groups in a movement of genocide. that is what fascist is. >> tucker: someone who is committing violence? >> trying to organize other people to commit violence as well. milo yiannopoulos is a fascist. >> tucker: he has committed acts of violence against the groups you mentioned? >> what he's doing is trying to be the face and token that other people were trying to harm people are hiding behind. what he has done is created this lynch mob mentality, supporters come not only agree with his views but also attack other people. that was certainly true in washington state when one of his supporters came and actually shot an antifascist protester. in berkeley, we made sure that didn't happen because we shut it down. >> tucker: you are saying that milo himself has not committed acts of violence.
6:28 pm
he would be in jail if he did. but because people agree with them have committed violence, he should not be allowed to speak? >> fascist movement takes many forms. it always tries to have one form that looks respectable and a little bit milder. yiannopoulos is not just a stand-up comedian. he does not just post them on youtube. he was funded by breitbart and steve bannon to go around to college campuses to recruit other young people on his behalf and on trump's behalf. i'm glad to say that thousands of us were out there last week, february 1st, and made sure that there were thousands of us to make sure that we descended our campus, this community and the immigrant and muslim students who were under attack. >> tucker: by using violence. you do not shy away, that's the name of your group. what should we do with fascists? if you think someone is espousing genocide, what should we do with that?
6:29 pm
should that person be allowed to walk free? should we put them in jail, should we kill them or exiled them? if we do were willing to use violence, what is the penalty for that? >> we have to nip it in the bud. we have to make sure they are not allowed to recruit and they should not be allowed to call for the people -- take away the platform. >> tucker: he was not ever said that a public anyway, not that we have a record of. there is no evidence that he has called for the genocide of anybody. but you are saying by transference in some way, he is inspiring people. when you say nip in the bud, should he be allowed to to go n the subway and talk to the guy next of him -- what should we do at the fascists that are used say inspiring genocide? the altar right is a neofascist
6:30 pm
movement. they are trying to hide behind some software versions of their more open counterparts who identified themselves as nazis. they're still part of the same movement. when someone is trying to speak at a campus or rally, they are doing it not because they have an opinion but someone like yiannopoulos or all the right person or neofascist are trying to recruit other people. we do not let them recruit and in fact when you look back at the holocaust and the lessons we draw from it, we do not say which let them voice their opinion. we say never again. >> tucker: we elevate people like members against the leader of nazi germany to kill him. that was the response of course the leader of that fascist movement was apparently legitimate. you are not answer my question. do people like milo who you decided our fascists should be allowed to speak in public? they weren't allowed to speak at berkeley -- >> he should not be allowed to speak in public to spread his
6:31 pm
racist and misogynistic and homophobic lies. when he is using his speech to wipe up attacks on people, he does not have the right to do that. the lies about our humanity? no. we have a right to defend ourselves with that. >> tucker: of course in the case of berkeley -- >> if you are trying to spread racism and hostility, misogyny, whip up people to lynch people or have that mentality to rape people or to lynch people -- whether it what was in a classroom or restaurant, a person will turn around and state this is not a safe environment. you need to go. >> tucker: you are a a middle school teacher, which might surprise some viewers. the first amendment was kind of the cornerstone of civic life.
6:32 pm
you have the right to say something that other people may hesitantly disagree with but you have that right. do you teach that to your students? >> the first of movement is about free speech. there was one in who is espousing rape or genocide or attack on muslims, i would stand up for the rest of my students and told them they need to stop and if they refuse to, they would need to leave. >> tucker: would you hit them? >> i'm not finished yet. if there is a fascist in any situation that i was in, i would call for other people to take action too but is not just about the immediate moment. it is always in the context of building a movement. >> tucker: you are getting off track. as you said and rightly so, if there was a student in your class who started espousing what you believe it's fascism, and you said you need to leave and
6:33 pm
be quiet, and they did not leave, would you hit them? would you beat them up? >> of course not. we're talking about people who -- in sacramento, there were fascists who had knives tied at the ends of sticks and they stabbed people. >> tucker: not the man that you hit. >> yes, actually they did. it's funny to you but is actually not funny to the rest of us. >> tucker: i know you take it seriously and that is why i'm asking a simple question. >> we are not talking about a classroom. we are talking about people who are trying to kill and murder people and have already done it and are trying to create a hostile environment on these campuses in order to do that. that's not a safe environment for immigrant students, for women or muslim students or transgender students.
6:34 pm
so yeah, we have a right to defend ourselves. >> tucker: one last question, if i may. the protocol for antifascism, you are standing on a street corner and someone start saying something you don't like and you think boy, that is an active hostility -- >> this is not ben & jerry's versus stone cold pizza or something. this is about the lives of real people, immigrants were under attack. >> tucker: i've got that. i am asking you how deep is your commitment -- i'm not trivializing this. to what extent would you go to stop that person from spreading genocidal propaganda? >> i would call for people to counter protest, to stand up and to shut down the fastest recrui recruit. >> tucker: what if i keep talking?
6:35 pm
i have a first amendment right, i am an american. if i say no, i am not going to stop that i am an american. what are you going to do? >> you want to talk about the first amendment? critic scott king's letter was not allowed to be read in the senate. and yet at the same time, you are the one who is actually trying to defend someone like a fascist speaking and recruiting at a college campus. >> tucker: i do not want to take away your speech rights. thank you for coming on and showing us what you believe. teachers at the virginia high school are -- the student who actually goes there, to tell us what he has experienced and what happened when he complained. stay tuned. it's feeling up thinking up living up. it's being in motion... in body in spirit in the now. boost. it's not just nutrition. it's intelligent nutrition.

6:41 pm
period. >> tucker: why am so impressed with the response is this is the sleekest kind of propaganda, passing itself off as obvious of your observations -- this is an attack with conservatives over evolution. >> and climate change. >> tucker: when you said this is political wanted they say? >> they said it's not political, it was relevant and it was apolitical and it was ridiculous to me, such a heated political climate right now, this is very relevant. >> tucker: you took this to some local media, and one of the headline said conservative students at yorktown are against diversity. >> i support women, minorities. it's ridiculous to say that i do not.
6:42 pm
it is crazy that someone would even bring that notion up. >> tucker: so they are saying these things are true, there's no debate about them. it's not political. the right to keep and bear arms is in the constitution, if you were to post that on the wall how would that go over? >> there's a serious double standard here. that would not be accepted on the walls of the school they would see through that easily, it's majority liberal. there's no way you'll be able to print conservative things like that on the wall. you will not be able to -- >> tucker: use operate through this and you had the guts to confront them about this and it did not do anything good but it said something about you. >> >> a lot of students saw it,w through it and whatnot speak up and i talked to our teenage republican group and they said they did not want to comment because they did not want to start anything and i thought that was ridiculous. come on. you've got to say something when you see something wrong like

85% -- he's not going to do all these things, give him a [bleep] chance, mate. he did not kill the jews on the first day -- >> tucker: that was jim jeffries, the comedian from australia. then piers morgan got into a twitter spat with harry potter author, j.k. rowling. pierce replied, saying... rowling retorted this way... and so on. for dozens of tweets. when he is not battling beloved children's authors on the internet, he is a writing for
6:49 pm
dailymail.com. the results are unbelievable. what was the argument jim jeffries was making, f off? >> he was just shutting me down to go forth and multiply. we had just had a lengthy segment in the show, the bill marshall about the need for president trump to be more factual, to always tell the truth and not to be erroneous. and then we moved on to -- i think the mentioned it first and i said it is not actually a muslim ban. i wrote a column for the daily mail when this executive order came out saying i did not agree with that. i thought it was wrong. however, you cannot pull something -- you cannot call something a muslim ban of 85% of the world's muslims can still come into the united states.
6:50 pm
i thought it was very important to make that point and make it strongly given we just had a big debate about facts. and jim jeffries did not like me, he didn't really have any argument to put to me. and then he used hitler analogy. hitler did not kill the jews all on day one. this hitler stuff with donald trump is unbelievably offensive. i do not think they killed 12 million people, systematic extermination -- this is not something we should be throwing around about other people, unless they have done similar acts. donald trump to my knowledge has not murdered anybody. all right? this analogy of him being the new hitler i find incredibly offensive. it diminishes the scale and importance and horror of what hitler did. i think that should just be shut
6:51 pm
