9:00 pm
thank you for watching us tonight. i am i am bill o'reilly and please are a number that "the spin stops here." we are definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," tonight we'll talk to someone who sounded the alarm that the president trump is a fascist bent on causing nuclear armageddon. a rare conservative professor will join us, he says his views are being systematically suppressed on his campus, not surprisingly. the trump administration amped up its efforts today against illegal immigration, and a set of rules that substantially expands the numbers of illegal immigrants prioritize for deportation. advocates for illegal immigrants say the rules are blueprints for mass deportations but one expert thinks the real victim will be the american economy. alex derosa is for theam libertarian think tank, is a
9:01 pm
supporter of more immigration he joins us now. i think most americans are pretty for immigrants and immigration, famously world descended from them. if the question is scale. we have about 14% of the population currently out of 325 million is foreign-born. it's either at or maybe a little below of a horse toward high, with got a ton. four times as many foreign-born people as their order when i was born in 1969. the question becomes how many is enough, how many is too many? what's the ideal level of immigration? >> i think the ideal level is determined by the market is determined by the free economy, much more than it's determined by bureaucrats in washington, d.c. when we look around the world in canada, 28%, switzerland is over 30%, those countries have very nice governing economies, very rich countries, large rates of economic growth. whatever that magic number is
9:02 pm
whatever that magic number is, it can't be determined by ther government but it's probablye higher what it is today. >> tucker: if more immigration makes you richer come up why is the american middle class getting poorer?? >> we've seen a lot of the people in the united states are suffering are those that are not competing with immigrants directly. it's really people who are competing indirectly with immigrants that are doing poorly.ea for instance, let me put it this way. there's never been in the economy in world history that's done better with fewer people. increasing the size of the labor force, increasing the number of people who are entrepreneurs who are investors who are scientists who are consumers actually helps the u.s. grow. >> tucker: but we're not importing software coders and investors, we're importing people who happen to be nearby who are taking overwhelmingly the low-end jobs but that doesn't get to the question. you pointed to candida and the the switzerland as examples of countries that have a lot of immigrants and are rich good we way more immigrants when we didf when i was born but the middle class is poor and in fact dying
9:03 pm
younger but it's not working for them.oo >> based on the personal index the middle class is wealthy if you take a look at the 50th percentile based on the 1970s. the number one country sending immigrants to the u.s. today are china and india and of those are higher skilled people.mi >> tucker: not by volume, not by volume. >> by numbers it says aboutt 2008, 2009, hispanic companies are in the third tier to the number of new immigrants. we've witnessed in this essence the transformation this country from hispanic immigration to know east and south asian. >> tucker: you still haven't gotten to the core question. there is a real sense in which the economy is not working for the bulk of americans. that's why trump got elected, massive generation of wealth at the top end. there is no dispute about that. i don't think it's a coincidence that's occurred at a time that we have massive immigration. t this level of immigration is good for people at the top end. but not for the middle. >> we've had more massive immigration and percentage of population in terms of annualot flows in the 1990s, we had a
9:04 pm
much greater and faster growing economy than we did it during 2000s. the thing that's holding back the u.s. economy today are high taxes and regulation. the flow of immigrants into the country, if you can include illegal immigrants coming in annually, is less than that was before the great recession.ec annually coming in appeared as a result of that, it actually goes in favor of my points. more immigrants, the faster i te growth. >> tucker: this is what find hilarious about libertarians, very much into the market as you are.ta >> aren't you? >> tucker: it's not a religion for me though, i believe in supply and demand, libertarians except when it comes to immigration. i they say immigration, low-wage immigration has no effect on wages on the bottom end of the economy but if you have an overabundance of something, it's volume -- it's price falls, right? but that's not true for p immigration courts market doesn't affect wages for
9:05 pm
american workers come of course it does.es >> immigrants because of their people also boost demand when they come here.s it's not just an increase in supply it's also an increase in demand because you have more people buying things.it >> tucker: but it means that the average person without a college degree makes less, the whole point of immigration it's a source of cheap labor for employers. why don't you admit that? >> when you look at the research from harvard who w is the most skeptic of the united states commits only saying the negative effects of immigration, it's that they're less than 10% of the population. meanwhile, the other 90% of then population including those in the middle class actually see wage increases. >> tucker: if i'm competing with someone who's willing to work for less, my wages go up. >> they're not competing against immigrants, who speak no english and have less than a high school degree. it in the same sense, you're not going to be competing against an illegal mexican immigrant for your job because they don't speak english. >> tucker: they're going toob be mowing my lawn at doing my
9:06 pm
laundry that raises the second concern, are you worried that the united states has become a country where all the crabby work is speak done by t foreigners. does that exacerbate race relations? how is that good if we import people to do our dirty work, does it increase our dignity? >> i don't think that's any different than it was in the late 19th century. >> tucker: earlier 19th century. >> we had people voluntarily come here and decided to work and their kids did better in their kidseo assimilated. that's the part of the story of the america from the beginning,e that's happening today with descendants of hispanic edit agents immigrants who are adding to our economy, working andra improving their lives voluntarily and their kids are doing well. >> tucker: you say they are adding to our economy but there is no question that illegal immigrants consume more in public services than they pay in
9:07 pm
and taxes. it's like 2-1. why is it in our interest, being a middle-class american who is not employing cheap labor to continue that? t why are we paying to subsidize cheap labor for big companies which were doing what you. >> we shouldn't be paying one of her benefits come i don't wantm to pay them to anybody. we shouldn't be paying them to immigrants, illegal or otherwise. at the way the law currently is, legal immigrants don't have access to welfare benefits for the first five years that they're here. illegal immigrants don't have access either. most of the studies and reports that show that counts their family members who are born in the u.s. as receiving welfare benefits. the obama administration actually prosecuted states that accidentally gave welfare t benefits to illegal immigrants. >> tucker: this isis sophistry because what you're excluding as the nonbuffered but in fact public benefits, anyone who live
9:08 pm
in this country gets including health care, the use of infrastructure, schooling. all of that is subsidized. the truth is immigrants illegal and legal at the bottom end of the labor scale consume more than they pay in. i'm not saying that they're not good people. but they are a net cost to the country to taxpayers, so why should we put up with that? >> the national academy of sciences study took a look at the low skilled immigrants with less than the highest schoolat degree, and their net impact is positive. they pay more in taxes than they consume and benefits. >> tucker: you know that's not true. >> the national academy of sciences they have a study that looks at it. when you take a look at the peer review evidence that on this, immigrants pay their own way. when you drill down and states, texas found that illegal immigrants pay more into state coffers than they take out because texas has a small welfare and everybody gets taxed. >> tucker: you know that's not true. if a family of five moves toer this country, to parents working for minimum wage, three kids being educated at public expense.
9:09 pm
they do not pay more in taxes w than they take out of the public that's not true and you know it's not true. >> if we counted by those standards and it never makes sense for any american to have any kids because of the fiscal drain. you have to have to call the texas those kids pay when they grow up and working in the united states. not at minimum wage. their kids make a lot more than minimum wage. >> tucker: let me ask you a philosophical question.m the trump administration said if you commit a crime here and you're an illegal alien, we have a moral right to deport you. you're in effect arguing against that.. >> i think if you commit a violent or property offense if you infringe upon the rights ofi another american through your actions then you should absolutely be deported. >> tucker: would appear presence is an infringement on my right to pay for you as not a citizen? >> that's a great argument against all kinds of things that it's a great argument against a welfare state. i think it conservative should be more opposed to a welfare state. them against a free flow of
9:10 pm
people across borders. >> tucker: you know why i'm in favor of come i'm in favor of acknowledging reality. under those circumstances -- go >> we have not stopped ever illegal immigration . >> tucker: we are in no position, on the horizon there is no point were going to reducg benefits to americans. until we eliminate the welfare state, why in the world would be bring people in here and an open border scheme?or >> immigrants pay more in taxes than they consume and benefits and they don't have access to welfare when they come to the country. it's not true compared to europe and other countries. if you're here in a green card you don't have access to welfare for five years. >> tucker: but you're using the fruits of society that the rest of us pay for and there's an actual cost that spirit they need health care in an emergency room it's a real thing for it.
9:11 pm
>> experience a lot of those things. the benefits, the way to solvep these problems is to legalize those folks, to give them a way a path to citizenship and thenen cut a lot of public services >> tucker: thanks for joining us. spirited conversation. conservative provocateur milo yiannopoulos has resigned from the web site breitbart today over remarks he made over sexual relationships between a teenage boys and older men, for more ant then we go to fox news correspondent, trace gallagher. >> the comments causing the outrage were made during a podcast interview last year where milo yiannopoulos appeared to condone sex between men and young teenage boys saying "isre "pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who was sexually mature. it is an attraction to children who has not reached puberty. he's been uninvited to speak at the conservative political conference and had his book canceled by simon & schuster.
9:12 pm
he's offering an explanation and apology saying he himself was abused by a priest when he was 13. >> my experience as in a victim led me to believe i can say almost anything on the subject, no matter how outrageous. but i understand that my usual blend of british sarcasm, provocation, and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy. a lack of care for other victims or even worse as it seems to have been the case and reports, advocacy. i'm horrified by that impression. >> last week breitbart editor alexander marlowe called yiannopoulos the number one free-speech warrior of his generation. he called the comments indefensible and appalling. even breitbart staffers reportedly were threateningnt internal revolt if yiannopoulos wasn't fired or disciplined. during his resignation, milo yiannopoulos said he did nots want his poor choice of words to detract from his colleagues important work. the 32-year-old provocateur now says he will launch his own media web site focusing more on entertainment and college campuw tours than the breitbart
9:13 pm
journalism. >> tucker: thanks a million. up next, conservative professor at ucla and there is one says administrators are keeping kids out of his class because of his political views, we're going to talk to them live in just a minute. just on cue, a big riot broke out in sweden in a predominantly immigrant neighborhood rightte after president trump highlighted failed integration of refugees there. coming up. as a control enthusiast, i'm all-business when i travel... even when i travel... for leisure. so i go national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle - without starting any conversations- -or paying any upcharges. what can i say? control suits me. go national. go like a pro.
9:14 pm
man: for every social occasion.ntial so the the broom said, "sorry i'm late. i over-swept." [ laughter ] yes, even the awkward among us deserve some laughter. and while it's okay to nibble in public, a lady only dines in private. try the name your price tool from progressive. it gives you options based on your budget. uh-oh. discussing finances is a big no-no. what, i'm helping her save money! shh! men are talking. that's it, i'm out.
9:15 pm
taking the meatballs. we've done well in life, with help from our advisor, we made it through many market swings. sure we could travel, take it easy... but we've never been the type to just sit back... not when we've got so much more to give when you have the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant. ameriprise
9:17 pm
there in america, he's a lecturer in communications at ucla. he says students being blocked from enrolling in his course which is called, politics, race, it free-speech on campus becausl he does not agree with the conventional liberal point of view. we reached out to ucla and theyt never responded were provided at statement to us. rather they did not. the head of the department told the college paper said simply the keeping classes is under control, thanks for coming on. >> thank you for inviting me. >> tucker: what i found so interesting, not simply conservative teaching at the big state school in california but you're one of the rare tenured professors who was actually trying to teach more kids. you want to teach kids. you think they're preventing you from doing so. >> actually, i'm not tenured. my status is as a lecturer. i teach four classes at the school. i doubt there would be many professors in my shoes tenured or not tenured that would be brazen enough to take on the
9:18 pm
university when the students rights are repeatedly violated. so i'm not tenured. >> tucker: you're braver than i realized. >> i am, that's a problem for ucla. i'm happy to teach hundreds of students, the bigger class you give me, happier to teach as many as can sit in the room. >> tucker: your course is about fundamentally free-speech. you think that the university is intentionally under the guise of its rules from preventing t students from sitting in on your course. >> i teach four classes on one of the most popular teachers on campus with the students, notro the administration for the one i teach this quarter is titled race, sex, politics, free speech on campus. when i teach that course, i go over the principles that govern the first amendment, free speech, freedom of conscience, i also go over due process rights. we spend a lot of time on sexual assault and the kangaroo
9:19 pm
campus court proceedings. i use ucla because my students, i know what keeps them engagedca and entertained. i use ucla as concrete examples in applying these principles. ucla is a microcosm of the macrocosm. they continuously and consistently trample students rights. we can go over some recent examples, that kanye west party. these were fraternity and sorority members and kim kardashian was an immediate rush to judgment because somebody thought there was black soot on one of the students faces that was black face. instead of according the student's due process and investigated the facts, there was an immediate suspension on the fraternity. worse than that, the a administrators, as they do each and every time one of these a instances occur, they threatened the students in one of their email missives that they arer, immediately going to investigate
9:20 pm
this hateful, offensive speech. and use all lawful resources for students found and engaged in intimidation and harassment. there is no hate speech exception to the first amendment. there is no hateful exception to the first amendment. >> tucker: when you imagine ucla administrators would know that? you have a law school attached to the university, correct? >> this is even more maddening. the culprits are dean cain, dean gomez and chancellor block i don't know if he's a lawyer or not, they absolutely know the law.n, they abuse the law in these 18-year-olds don't know the law, and if they do they're afraid to fight back. they abuse the law, they twist the law, they send out these emails which either chill speech that they don't like or they actually punish students that run afoul of these types of policies that don't conform to
9:21 pm
their liberal ideology. let me give you another good example.og there was an sjp and msa, student organizations on campus, there were posters linking them to hamas. the university again came out and criticized these posters as being hateful, offensive, if students were found involved, they would be brought up on conduct coded charges, to the points i just enumerated, that violates the first amendment. ucla has a discriminatory application of its own policy but let's put aside that it violates the first amendment. last week in the daily broom, there was an anti-semitic cartoon of the worst sort. it was a standard anti-semitic trope with netanyahu and a big nose, it had the ten commandments in the background, now thou shall not steal, thou shall not murder implying that israel will murder to achieve visit settlements, not a wordno from the administration.
9:22 pm
how is this instance with the cartoon any different with the poster? it isn't! it's just not consistent with their narrative. >> tucker: it's a great question, all of this strikes me proves the great lie of tenure which is that professors needed in order to speak their minds and yet you don't have 10-year end here you are bravely saying exactly what you think i hope you are not punished for it, a excellent for joining us.y unfortunately were of time, i hope you'll come back for another update on the ucla campus. it sounds pretty florid. up next, president trump is been in power for a month, america still isn't quite a fascist dictatorship, will talk to somebody who believes that in that it's coming any day now and espouses a popular uprising to throw the president after the white house, will ask what that means, stay tuned. does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment?
9:23 pm
if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. in fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. do not use if you are allergic to taltz. before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you are being treated for an infection or have symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz. including worsening of symptoms. serious allergic reactions can occur. now's your chance at completely clear skin. just ask your doctor about taltz. now's your chance at completely clear skin. we have a question about your brokerage fees. fees?
9:24 pm
what did you have in mind? i don't know. $6.95 per trade? uhhh- and i was wondering if your brokerage offers some sort of guarantee? guarantee? where we can get our fees and commissions back if we're not happy. so can you offer me what schwab is offering? what's with all the questions? ask your broker if they're offering $6.95 online equity trades and a satisfaction guarantee. if you don't like their answer, ask again at schwab.
9:26 pm
with 9 irresistible lobster dishes. yeah, it's a lot. try tender lobster lover's dream and see how sweet a lobster dream can be. or pick two delicious lobster tails with new lobster mix and match. the only thing more tempting than one succulent lobster tail, is two. is your mouth watering yet? good. because there's something for everyone, and everyone's invited. so come in today. >> tucker: president trump has been a month in office and america has not become a totalitarian death stage just yet. some are trying to ignite an uprising to throw him out of power. the group called refuse fascism set its goal is to dry the trump regime out. a cabal of white supremacist, science deniers, religious fundamentalist zealots and warmongers will eventually start a nuclear war. thanks for joining us.ve i was reading your manifesto tonight. you said this.
9:27 pm
the trump regime is a fascist regime, no insult or exaggeration, that's what it is for the future of humanity and the plinth, we the people must drive this regime out. i'm assuming you're not a moderate. if it's a fascist regime, how are you oneg the show? >> we are facing an emergency, humanity is facing an emergency, a fascist regime has seized a razor power, the sole superpower in the world. the trump and pence are operating out of hitler's playbook only they have nuclear weapons. refusefascism.org is saying to the world it's beautiful that people stand up and protest and continue to do so and since i know he sometimes watches, president trump if you're watching, way more people have protested than were at your inauguration, this resistance needs to grow. people need to confront that this is a fascist regime that can drop the hammer and close down the space for people to stand up and resist.
9:28 pm
in the name of humanity, 7 billion on this planet, we need to pour into the streets o and say no, we refuse to accept the fascist america, but he refused to accept this for the world and we must drive them out we need to stay in the streets. >> tucker: so many questions come to mind the advice one is this, i always thought that the day somebody got up a republican and we got to focus on jobs, no more pointless wars in theob middle east and by the way i'm e secular guy, they would say that's my kind of republican. >> a man who campaigned and say i long for the days when protesters were dragged out on stretchers. who offered to pay the bills of people who assaulted protested d at his rallies, donald trump is a fascist, that's out of hitler's playbook. this is a danger to humanity. it's in its early stages but people need to rise up and stop it before it is too late. >> tucker: i want to get to that, rise up and stop it. i'm assuming that this is like play acting for you, if you really thought he was hitler, if you really believed he wasf
9:29 pm
acting according to the playbook of hitler, then you wouldn't stop with going on a cable show, you'd go all the way, wouldn't you? you don't really think that, you'd be committing acts of violence. >> i absolutely think, he's not like hitler, he has a twitter feed, he has an ugly orange thing on top of his head, and he has nuclear weapons, the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world. people better wake up because he is more dangerous than hitler ever could have been. you implied something, i went to answer it. you implied that i'm going to do something that's untoward,d, whatever, i'm calling for mass g political protest and resistance.i' building on what's happened andc staying in the streets in the name of humanity before the man starts -- he asked three times if i have nukes, why can't i use them? mass incineration of human beings.
9:30 pm
>> tucker: let's be more specific because i want to take you seriously, i assume you're being serious, hard as it is to believe when you use rhetoric like hitler, he's going to incinerate the world. >> nuclear weapons are the mass incineration of humanity. nukes are no big deal for you, i know you like to carry water for the liar in chief, i know you like to justify and rationalizeo the sexual predator in chief i don't think this is a joke. this is for humanity and he is dangerous. >> tucker: what are you going to do about it other than the jump around in the street with a sign in your hand. and write your manifesto. >> refusefascism.org has a manifesto. we have four things people should do. they should have manifested the no, they should protest every outrage in crime we have to have a single unifying objective. people who are waking up in this country who are horrified by this man with his finger on the nuclear weapons, we need to recognize that he has to be driven from offices through mass political resistance before it is too late. t fascism advances through stages.
9:31 pm
shock all violence. >> tucker: you don't oppose fascism with political resistance. >> it would have taken millions and millions to rise up and stop hitler. it's what people should have done. it's shameful for you to dismis dismiss. it's funny to you. you find that as petty matters? >> tucker: it's simple, limit because i know you love to carry water for this criminal. this war criminal. do you find that petty? i'm trying to ask you a real question but -- >> nuclear weapons are serious. >> tucker: let me ask you one last question, okay? 62 million people voted for trump, disproportionally there people at the lower end of the income scale. they were, they were middle-class and the below, mostly. oppose the trump or the hedge fund managers and privileged people like you. >> he lost the popular vote and
9:32 pm
no election is fair or fraudulent can justify ripping up the rule of law. undermining the courts, threatening and shutting down. >> tucker: you're saying during duly elected president out of office? >> because that's what he means what he says it so called judges that's what he means when he fires he fires attorney general who disagrees. what you want to do is normalize fascism -- >> tucker: i'm giving up, this is too obnoxious for me, thanks though. i tried. former hospital administrator is on a grand crusade to end predatory pricing in the health care industry, he'll tell us how he does that in just a minute. predatory ♪ across new york state, from long island to buffalo, from rochester to the hudson valley, from albany to utica, creative business incentives, infrastructure investment, university partnerships,
9:33 pm
9:36 pm
9:37 pm
he was the president of palm of palm springs general hospital in florida, in a recent piece to "the daily caller" he pointed out that a simple blood cast cost between $10.400 even if it's performed at the same lab. if they make price gouging inevitable, how do they fix it? thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: everybody grouses about how much health care costs and understandably but a lot of people are getting rich from it especially here in washington, i personally know a lot of people who have made a ton of money off the health care drama. is there a connection between the amount of money spent onar lobbying for health care and the dysfunction of the health care system? >> you can call me a cynic but the health care industry spends more on lobbying than the oil and gas industry, defense industry, and aerospace industry combined. all our politicians are approaching the problem from the wrong end.
9:38 pm
everybody's got a health care plan, which you probably know better than anybody else in the country. it's repeal obamacare, replace obamacare, amend obamacare, all of the plans are based on the false idea that we have an insurance problem the united states. what we really have in the united states is a health care billing problem, a medical pric problem. insurance is only there to pay the medical bills. if the medical bills is what the real problem is. the one thing that every politician avoids talking about like the plague is medical pricing.an health care pricing is sick. there is no such thing as a market price. >> tucker: why do they avoid talking about something as obvious as the price of medical care, what do you do about it? >> i'm assuming -- it's hard to
9:39 pm
believe that this is an issue that they are missing.g. i think it has some thing to do with the lobbying power in the industry. everybody is getting rich on it from the providers through the insurance companies, hospitals, you ask the price of any service, you can't get a straight answer. the only answer you're allowed to get is what insurance do you. have? everybody's price depends on hoi much can be extracted from you personally. the consumer, the patient, is helpless and hopeless. we can't shop because there is no real pricing, we depend on the health care provider to tell us what our individual price is supposed to be. with nobody will tell you is the patient that comes right after you with the exact same service may be paying one-tenth what you're paying or ten times more than what you're paying. the price everybody else pays other than you is literally protected in the united states as a trade secret. you can't find out what it is.it the solution is easy.. have a legitimate health care pricing, just like we have in grocery stores, department
9:40 pm
stores, gas stations. nobody would accept walking into a grocery store and finding that everybody is being charged a different random price. the store owner would be charged with 50 different types of discrimination. >> tucker: how do you do that? everything you said makes sense, why's it so hard to get from the concept to the reality, what would you need to do? >> i don't want to butter you up too much, the truth is the nation owes you a debt of gratitude because it appears that i'm the only one talking o about health care pricing,pp medical service pricing. o i've never heard anyone discuss it before. >> tucker: it seems so obvious.n it's obvious who's benefiting from it because -- by the way a handy way to ship the costs of course and to redistribute the cost across a broad population, but it's based on a lying it looklike. >> absolutely. let me give you an example i got a call a couple weeks ago from a
9:41 pm
lady in texas. half of your viewers hadad experience like this. told me she's been going to a doctor for years getting a treatment of cost $150. in the past years, health insurance. she's about 60, her and her husband are paying $1800 per month for health insurance. she went to the same doctor and he said look, your rate is $325 now. she says i've been paying you for years $150, what are you talking about? he says, with your health insurance, that's your network price, that's the allowed price. you haven't met your co-pays or deductibles. she said just pretend i don't have health insurance, i've got a contract with the health insurance, that's the allowed price, obligated to charge you that. the truth is under the current a system with obamacare, health insurers have incentivized to pay more out for medical care because under the current law
9:42 pm
the only way an insurance company can increase their premiums and profit is to pay more out for underlying medical services. so how could it possibly be that an individual can get a better price than a health insurance company that theoretically is negotiating for tens of thousands of patients? and consumers all over the country are learning and there's been a lot of articles written about this that your best bet is to go to the doctor and pretend you don't have insurance because you're going to get a better price quite often the network pricing. in what world -- >> tucker: were out of time, hope you will come back, were going to continue to pull at the heart of everything, thanks a lot for coming on.. >> thank you, it's been ae pleasure. >> tucker: a new book says that our society is being rebuilt from the ground up on the false belief that men and women are identical.
9:43 pm
we'll talk to the author coming up. as if on cue, a swedish cityty went up in flames right after the president highlighted the problems there and was scoffed at by a lot of the geniuses in the american news media, will tell you what happened, stay tuned. you found the love of your dreams... and together, you had the kid of your dreams. now you can put them in the car of your dreams... for a lot less than you might think. with a certified pre-owned mercedes-benz, you can enjoy legendary safety, innovation and performance at a price you can afford. and that's a pretty sweet dream. visit the certified pre-owned sales event, now through february 28th. only at your authorized dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.

profound changes in the history of the west, the redefinition of sex from a biological reality to a social construct. it's had a lot of applications, what are some of them? >> i think a lot of people like you are wondering how it is thai they woke up and for example, we're talking about requiring women to register for the draft, or seeing toys banned from their classroom for gender equity reasons. or wondering why we're sending mothers of young children into combat and calling it equality. i think a lot of us can say that if anything, the ramifications s are very unequal, especially for women. >> tucker: what do you mean by that? the obvious thing all things that make women unique and distinct are verboten, it does degrade the idea of being a woman in my opinion, i'm not one.bo what do you mean that this m distribution is unequal? >> i think we have this idea that if we treat men and women identically, if we can just get rid of the differences, they
9:50 pm
view differences as the source of inequity, we will have achieved equality. what you end up seeing is the burden of that approach fall on women. i talk a lot in my book about college campuses and the sexual assault crisis. i think that's a result of trying to say oh, sure, we can put men and women in the same dorms, on the same floors, in the same bathrooms, in some cases in the same rooms, coed dorm rooms are now a thing and wonder why it is we have a sexual assault epidemic on college campuses. >> tucker: philosophically it'sh interesting the transgender bathroom debate, i think most people think i don't want to bother people who want to use a different bathroom, most people are tolerant i would say. underneath it all is demand that all of us recognize that men and women are exactly the same. it seems to me it's kind of an attack on women. if i can be a woman simply by saying i am, then what's speciai about women? >> even more so, how can women make claims on the basis of

their sex if we are now going to say sex that is not a valid category. this is an arbitrary label assigned at birth, how are women -- this is interesting because this is where you're seeing that social conservatives and radical left-wing feminists line up together. they're saying that women are threatened in a world where women can't make claims on the basis of being a woman, because male and female are invalid.si >> tucker: to get back to the root of this, i often hear people in the left sake i believe in science, listen to npr, i believe in science, i drive a subaru. is the idea that sex is purely a social construct rooted in science? >> this is what was really stunning to me to see how it -- we have science thrown in our faces all day long. your sex is literallyn established from the moment of conception. that is a very, basic biological

medical reality and if you readl medical textbooks, they're going to talk about your sex in very plain at scientific terms. society is going to get a completely different direction. >> tucker: there aren't a lot of scientists who say your gender is not real, you can assign it to yourself. >> i have two little kids and even my pediatrician the other day was saying, i don't really know how to handle this. there making our jobs impossible to do because we're looking at the facts and biology is very self-evident, that's become politically incorrect. >> tucker: the rest of us are required to lie at gunpoint. if the promise of all this, all of these changes is it will make people freer and happier, this is what liberation looks like, you can have an abortion -- all the things that feminism promises. the outcome is supposed to be positive. have women gotten happier? >> no, as i documented my book what we've seen is women are at the unhappiest they've ever been.

they're the most anxious, most depressed. two or three more times likely than men to use medications foro anxiety or depression. i think that's very much related to the fact that we areet struggling to basically be ourselves in a world that's making us -- trying to make us be more like men. >> tucker: we are certain that women are less happy than they've been in recent memory? >> there was a big study that came out a couple of years ago, i believe at the university of pennsylvania that found that -- they had never seen levels of unhappiness at these reported levels before. >> tucker: that kind of says it fit? >> it does. >> tucker: i hope people read your book it's really interesting, ashley maguire, thanks for comingpr on. we'll update you now on the important story, the beagle fruit freedom project protesting
