among my guests terry mcauliffe and scott walker and see you on sunday. meanwhile good night tonight from washington. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," will talk to the mayor of a city on the verge of bankruptcy who insists on maintaining sanctuary cities status. we'll talk to a leader of the transit or rights whose furious with president trump's recent action on bathrooms. first up, it's undoubtedly a new age of nationalism. politicians who reject globalism are thriving all over the globe and nowhere is that more obvious than at cpac the last three days, watch. >> president trump: global cooperation, dealing with other countries, getting along with other countries is good, it's very important. but there is no such thing as a

global anthem, a global currency, or a global flag. this is the united states of america. i'm not representing the globe, i'm representing your country. >> it's not only not good to get better it's going to get worse every day [laughter] the internal logic makes sense, their corporatist globalist media, their adamantly opposed, adamantly opposed to economic nationalist agenda that donald trump has. >> i always believe we should govern our own country, i was believe we should be free to reach out. to make our own deals with our real friends of the world. our real friends of the world speak english have common law and to stand by us in times of crisis. >> tucker: you may recognize that man, that was nigel faraj

who knows quite a bit about running the nationalist movement. he was a top backer of the 2060 and breaks at referendum demands the u.k. do withdraw from the european union. >> tucker: it's official, national is now global, there is no denying it with the president's speech, why? >> you say nationalism, i called nation is imperative we believe in the nation state. that is the unit we identify with. that is what we feel part of, that is what we cheer for in the olympics emma and if necessary that is what we prepare to fight for, it embodies our values, our communities, our heritage, our identity, maybe even our tribe. i think what happened at 2060 with boxes and trump and atticus go to roll out with 2017 is a return to more normality, with the globalist to try to do destroy the nationstate.

what those two big events of 2016 it did was to reestablish the democratic nation state and that is right and proper and normal. >> tucker: the nationstate is such an obvious arrangement, people created them because they wanted them. i guess the obvious question is why did so many people in power spend it so much time trying to obliterate them? what was their motive? >> one of the motives was france and germany every 25 years kept fighting each other. they kind of wondered how do we stop the germans from crossing the rhine and trying to smash the french? they thought if they merge the two countries, but might be a way to do it. but, just as with communism, the big idea that came before this, the road to hell can be paved with good intentions. the mistake they made was this: provided nationstates are democratic, they will not fight and they will not go to war with each other. if you try to give people a

false identity, a false flag, a false god if you like, they will rebel and turn against it. i think what the european union was was a prototype for bigger form of global government, had hillary clinton won, you would've become part of it. thank goodness that trump has stopped it. it >> tucker: there would've been even bigger reaction against it i think in four years. i think american nationalism is a good thing, a benign thing, i think the same of british nationalism, i think most people would agree deep down. should we be as excited about the prospect of german nationalism or japanese nationalism, are all nationalism created equal? >> that depends, if those nationalist movements gets to a position where they're able to obliterate the democratic process, then we have a problem. all the while, we have genuine democratic governments that what we should do is to trust the people. the people in all these countries are not stupid and they will not allow real

extremists into power. the one thing that i find just so offensive is for people like me end of trump who have been pushing this idea of the nationstate, you make your own laws, you control your own borders, you reach out to your friends, week are called extremists, we're been called fascists, we've been called all the names under the sun. actually, the real fascists are those that shout us down and say that our view isn't valid. >> tucker: you heard a speech about that from steve bannon who said this is going to be really hard to affect what we want to do, the globalists want to be against us. you agree with us the opposition of trump is rooted in the attachment to globalism and global government. >> what's the super nationalists did was they managed to get to big business and the big banks on their side and they created a market place with the big guys could carve everyone out at the expense of the small. we've got to recognize there are some very big vested interests

who do do not want breaks it te a success and don't want to trump to success. this is not going to be a cakewalk. this is not going to be easy, i think that's what steve bannon was alluded to yesterday. i'll tell you what the good news is. since brexit, there is a far bigger majority of the british people who support us getting control of our lives for the same thing is happening here in america. since november the eighth, what you've seen, is a man who was elected on a ticket and he intends to put it into action. that is what democracy is supposed to be. i think trump is bringing back confidence in the democratic process and i bet you his popularity ratings are going to soar from here. >> tucker: do you think the people around him by end? you see people other goldman people, have they changed their views completely? are they on board with this? >> the fact that somebody works at goldman doesn't make them a bad person it probably means there very knowledgeable and

very bright and they understand financial markets. i look at that team around a trump, i look at bannon, i look at kellyanne conway, i think they've got some very smart people now in charge of the usa and i have every confidence that donald trump's team are going to bring jobs back to america, they're going to control illegal immigration, and i think a couple years into this administration, this could be one of the most popular presidents in modern times. >> tucker: optimistic note, thanks so much for coming on. if you've been awake at all, you probably know that president trump does not care for the media. today at cpac he had this to say about the nation's publishers and pundits, watch. >> president trump: i want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news, it's a fake. some affect. phony, fake. a few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are, they are the enemy of

the people. they are very dishonest people. in covering my comments, the dishonest media did not explain that i called the fake news the enemy of the people, the fake news. they dropped off the word fake. and all of a sudden the story became the media is the enemy, they take the word fake out. and now i'm saying oh, no, this is no good. that's the way they are. i'm not against the media, i'm not against the press. i don't demand bad mind bad sti deserve them and i love good stories, i don't get too many of them. >> tucker: were joined now by howie kurtz, host of media buzz on fox. i think a lot of presidents have felt this way i don't think anyone said it out loud, what's the effect of saying it out loud? >> when the president went after

fake news he identified cnn, cbs, abc, nbc, "the new york times" ." what became clear is that neutralizing the press is the central mission now, a central mission of the president trump and his white house, this is not just counter punching, this is not letting off steam. he is convinced that the media are so hostile towards him and many journalists so despise him that the only way he can get his agenda passed is to discredit the fake news. >> tucker: part of what happens is if the president calls cnn or "the washington post" the opposition party, it takes away any incentive they have assuming they ever had one to be fair to him. >> there are two sides to this equation, while a lot of people are portraying this as the president trumps war on the media, the sky has been subjected to the most negative, relentlessly negative coverage that we have seen in the general election, and a transition, now in his first month as president. he has reason to be ticked off for sure. i agree with you because i think

that if you're a cnn anchor injuries consciously going after fake news, what are you going to do question work you have to defend your company. it may be pushes a network like cnn into the opposition camp it probably helps their ratings with people who don't like the president and it widens the divide. >> tucker: the truth of that is on display every day. to the extent it's possible you can see where this is going, a year from now were going to have 19th century style partisan, an outlet like "the washington post" saying we're here here to preserve democracy from a tyrant, in effect. it >> at the same time, the president ratcheting up attacking anonymous sources and resources are made up, they shouldn't be used. he was really talking about a "washington post" story that had nine sources but it was a weak example because that story was accurate it was what mike flynn talking to the russians and it turned out to be true and the president fired his national security advisor. where is this going? i had thought trump can be very

charming, i thought he would bend the fence as he did to the new york times soon after the election. it seems to me now that we are moving toward a kind of a polarized situation, tucker, where a lot of the media while saying they're upholding standards, they're really going at this president with a special zeal. all presidents should be covered aggressively, at the same time, the president and steve bannon had made clear that they have no interest in a truce, they're going to keep prosecuting this war. i don't know that it helps him pass his agenda but it sure fires up his base. at the same time it doesn't necessarily taken beyond his base. we are so in popular, we are widely distrusted appeared were a big fat target for those who voted for trump but we have to kind of expand to people who didn't vote for him. >> tucker: the social pressure must be enormous and newsrooms. if you work in one of those outlets denounced by the president and you have a story that in any way helps justify his agenda, you're going to be

embarrassed to file that. >> i hope that's not the case, but keep in mind, where journalists responded to incentives, negative stories lent on the front page leave the newscast, they might do more of that. here's a thing that people never got during the campaign and i'm not sure they get now. negative press helps donald trump doesn't mean we should investigate and challenge particularly when he strays from the facts. when the press piles on this president, he gets the us versus them that he wants. he's able to say i'm bringing change, they don't want that, steve bannon says globalist, corporatist, it gives him the distinction that he wants so it's serving his purpose, maybe both sides get something out of it. i do feel as a journalist that it's unfortunate that it's reached this stage. >> tucker: as a journalist, if you're emotionally invested in the story, you cannot see it clearly. people that feel hatred toward trump should not be covering him or love. your use eat too much start on

twitter. >> tucker: howard kurtz, thanks for joining us. up next, more and more people have their lives defined by their insecurity will talk to a demographer who was sound the alarm on what might be a miserable 21st century. depressing but super interesting, watch that spirit hartford, connecticut, on the break of financial ruin, yet its mayor is risking some federal funds by maintaining a century city status. why is he doing that? join us to explain. liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. liberty did what? yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! (sigh) i wish my insurance company had that... wait! hold it... hold it boys... there's supposed to be three of you... where's your brother? where's your brother? hey, where's charlie? charlie?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you. liberty stands with you™

liberty mutual insurance my frii say not if you this protect yourself.ary. what is scary? pneumococcal pneumonia. it's a serious disease. my doctor said the risk is greater now that i'm over 50! yeah...ya-ha... just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia- an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing,

>> tucker: thing seem like they are to be great in this

country, officially the unemployment rate is low, crime is low, technology makes life easier than ever before. for many, you may have noticed this there is a sense of decline and even desperation it's omnipresent in some places. political economist at the american enterprise institute. an amazing new piece entitled art miserable 21st centuries, he highlights the help scape that is some of america. existential despair, the article draws heavily from men without work america's invisible crisis, he joins us here in the set. it's a great piece it's got the most depressing title i've ever read, it's the most depressing piece i've read it this year yet it's so true and it explains why we are where we are politically. how did this happen? >> we entered the 21st century with the makings of a classic populist reaction. we've got a stock market that's going upwards and upwards and upwards, more wealth than ever before, a pretty crummy economy,

the bottom has dropped out of the labor market. we've got more wealth for wealth holders, bad economy and less work for workers than any time in memory. >> chris: >> tucker: what's so frustrated reading living in washington is being bombarded with fake statistics, the un-employment rate looks like an antique in text devised for some earlier in increasingly distant war. the economic equivalent of a musket inventory or a cavalry account, why is it a false statistic? >> it's misleading, the pieces in it are fine but they're telling you the wrong thing. back in the days where we had a dickensian world where guys could have a job or had to be looking for one, unemployment wasn't a bad way of looking at things. there's a third way now which is neither working nor looking for work and that's been the fastest growing demographic group of working age men for 50 years. there are now three times as many guys in prime working age

25-54 who are neither looking or looking for work as unemployed. if you're looking at unemployment rates, you're looking at the wrong story. >> tucker: it's amazing how many politicians fall into the deceit when they repeat that. one measure you use our health outcomes. he want to measure the health of a society, look at the physical health. in some ways are us declining. >> if you look at what happened especially for anglos, non-hispanic whites, less educated non-hispanic whites, we got a death rate that's been going up since about the year 2,000. what of those increases have been due to overdoses, poisonings, suicides, i've done a lot of work on a communist countries and post-communist countries, this is a little bit too close to russia for comfort. >> tucker: i could go on for an hour which i hope our readers will find, you say that people in our ward are comp concert talk about income inequality

forever signaling how personally post-with they are, but you say it's an abstraction. the reality of economic insecurity is what matters, what does that mean? >> i think for most people in america, the great american escalator has broken down. we had a great escalator that was lifting each generation to new heights of prosperity and people over the course of their lives, since about the year 2,000, that hasn't been working. that's why people feel insecurity, that's why people feel anxiety. people don't feel jealous of bill gates because he made all of this money in this fantastic set of innovations. people want their own lives and their kids' lives to be better. that's where the anxiety and insecurity is. >> tucker: if there's one problem you could solve to restart that american escalator, what would it be? >> if you try to do it from washington and washington can only do so much, it would have to do with getting small

businesses a little bit more free. we've been a net business death environment since about the year 2007, they've been drowning on good regulations, they've been drowning under burdens. it's not the big corporations, it states smaller businesses that generate the jobs for people, free them up and let them do what they want to do. >> tucker: it goes back to the beginning it's about work. men without work is the name of your book, not surprisingly. spoon up next, president trump's position on the trends and or bathrooms is the same one that present obama took for most of his presidency but the left is furious about it, will talk to the director of one group was not impressed.

what do you get when you combine an h&r block tax pro, with the deduction finding superpower of ibm watson? ah! you get more money. that's what you could get. h&r block with watson. get your taxes won. has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours,

proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions

as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. >> tucker: president trump wasn't at space cpac today, he signed an executive order designed to streamline regulations, the market. >> you're right, this latest executive order recreates regulatory reform within the u.s. federal agencies it's the latest and i daresay decisive effort to try to pair back u.s. red tape. as you pointed out, this is all been part and parcel to what the president has been talking about for quite some time and that's how do we unclog at the engine of u.s. business? what he's trying to do is take aim at those regulations deemed most burdensome time to the u.s. economy. as you also said part of the busy day for the president who

spent a little time at cpac talking to a raucous crowd come he told them the fake news media are trying to discourage the american people called them cunning and dishonest. he referred to one media outlet as the clinton news network. i'll leave that up to you to figure out who that is. it's picking up the media, there was a great deal of consternation in washington over the white house's decision to conduct an off-camera background briefing for some but not all of the news media, notably left off the list of the times cnn. although the media did get access to the full recording after the gaggle was over. if this all happened on a day when the white house was pushing back very strongly on suggestions that the administration try to to lean on the fbi to tamp down a story in the times about the trump campaign and russia. at peace that fbi deputy director andrew mckay the cult of chief of staff speak 25 asked if there's any way the fbi could help correct the record acknowledge the story was false,

but james come he didn't want the bureau to get bogged down ad calling balls and strikes on every front to receive media story up so to get involved. white house officials insist tonight they had no conversation with the administration, with the fbi about the ongoing investigation into possible influence peddling by the russians during the campaign. that is their story, they're saying their complaint with the fbi was really about the times story specifically. back to you. >> tucker: kevin corke, thanks a lot. just two days ago, the trump administration retracted an obama era guideline that claimed a 45-year-old title ix law required all public schools which transgender students use a bathroom of their choice. it's a concern for state and local governments a position that's giving the administration savage and left. julian weiss is director of transgender legal fund, they denounce the states rights position as nonsense, julian whites joint is now.

i believe for whatever it's worth and politeness and decency and i'm not making people uncomfortable, especially children, i have four. i also believe in honesty. i want to get exactly what this means, i'm a 47-year-old man come i think that's pretty obvious. if i were to decide tomorrow if i were a 47-year-old woman, should i be allowed to go shower and women's locker room? >> the idea that there is no objective factors to be considered and who is transgender and how we determine bathroom use is really not the way that this works. the fact is that people makes this decision after a lot of serious consideration, they do see medical doctors, other psychologists involved. there's a lot to think about. it's not an easy process as someone who's gone through that i can tell you just don't decide tomorrow. that's on the way it works. >> tucker: what if i do decide tomorrow, and was totally sincere, how would you know whether it was a sin sincere or not, only i can make that decision and what if i did, what

i be allowed to go in shower in a women's locker room and if not why not? >> i think the answer is no, for example, we have the gavin graham case which is coming to the supreme court very soon, the aclu just put out its brief in that case. they went through what he had to address, he changed his name, he had to medical doctors, he had letters from psychologists and so on, it wasn't the kind of thing where thing where he came in and said oh, now i'm going to be using the boys room. >> tucker: there's a lot at stake here and you know this because you do it for a living, there's a lot of money at stake and there's a lot of bigger issues at stake, which is at the center of any society. what are the absolute standards that are required for a person to exchange his or her? >> does an organization called the world professional transition association of transgender health which has a series of

care, number eight is coming out. if this is something that doctors and medical people, psychologists have worked with for years and there is a whole protocol. i can't give you the entire thing right now but i think it's important to understand that there is something called transgender and we have been here for forever, we've been going to the bathroom forever. >> tucker: i'm not contesting any of that, i'm not attacking anyone. ethic it's fair because so much is at stake to get much more precise than you are getting. so what exactly are the standards, are they legal standards, they standards that you agree with? what exactly are the standards, the actual standards because a lot of money is at stake here. >> yes. if the medical standards require seeing a therapist for a certain period of time before cross hormones will be prescribed, a certain amount of time living as the opposite before certain

kinds of medical treatment and surgery will be permitted. the other thing to keep in mind is that the courts have been parsing this for the last 15, 20 years. if somebody is being stereotyped because of their because they don't fit in with the appropriate masculinity or femininity because of whatever people perceive as their burst, that's prohibited by the antidiscrimination statutes but still you still haven't explained and i've asked you a bunch of what the legal standards are. i don't think that there are any and here's why that's a concern. the federal government spends over $11 billion every year on specific programs and i'm sure you know what they are, the small business administration among many others, gives a ton of money to people because they are women. and so how are we supposed to navigate that and let's be honest with each other, there are no standards other than i say that i'm of a different, how are you supposed to navigate

this and what's going to prevent charlatans from jumping in and taking all that cash which mark >> let me give you an example, in the field of athletics, there are standards that have been developed for when someone is permitted to move into a particular single activity. it involves how long they have been in hormones, how long their physician has been -- whether or not they have the strength equivalent to that of women's sports for example. if there are standards that have been developed i don't know all the details of that exactly. >> tucker: because there is no absolute standard, as you know. this is your job, you know that that's not true, the wnba doesn't have the same standahe e women's field hockey. there is no absolute standard. >> there is not an absolute standard, we are working with that as a society. it doesn't mean to put transcend your people back in the closet or tell transgender youth fend for yourself. >> tucker: nobody's suggesting

that at least on this show. what i'm suggesting as an adult look at this issue, whenever you bring it up, what does this really mean? can you actually change your biologically, you're denounced it's like a hater. i'm speaking for myself when i say that has nothing to do with it. i think it's fair to ask these questions. when are we going to find out exactly what it means to be a woman or man? >> let me suggest this. i have a list here of 25 studies that have been done over the last 15 years by scientists in peer-reviewed journals discussing exactly what it means to be transgender, when someone is transitioning. the difference in the basal ganglia of the german alice, the neuron density in the brain and no someone, i'm sorry for being very technical. there are biological differences but >> tucker: let me ask you this, can you ascertain a persot throughout life from birth until death and will not result in an inconsistent question >> not with the blood test. spill not with a blood test.

i don't know if that's correct. do you agree with that and i'll leave it here. until there is a commonly recognized legally recognized standard for for what constitutes a man on the woman, we are to slow down a little bit, stop building up all these antidiscrimination statutes vehicle before we can agree on who is being discriminated against? who meets the standard? >> with has these laws in the books for the past 40 years, they have come to understand that this includes transgender people for the last 15 years. we are all over society, were going to the bathroom, were showering, were athletics, you can't roll it back. >> tucker: you don't you're dodging the question because i don't have an answer i hope that you'll take this question, is not just a matter of saying were here were not going away, >> but you're saying until we have a standard we can't do anything

and i disagree with that. >> tucker: i'm saying don't give $11 billion of way to people who are faking like what are people talking about >> which are evidence of faking? tell me who faked it and then we can investigate it. >> tucker: the city of hartford, connecticut, is looking toward bankruptcy, but the mayor is braving the loss of federal funds to preserve century city status, sanctuary, will have that coming up next. this is the silverado special edition. this is one gorgeous truck. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actually there's 5. aaaahh!! ooohh!! uh! holy mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style. which one's your favorite? come home with me! it's truck month! find your tag for an average total value over $11,000 on chevy silverado all star editions when you finance through gm financial.

w...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb.

tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. >> tucker: the city of hartford, connecticut, and seen better days, more than a century ago it was the richest city in america. today it's on the break of bankruptcy, it owes $400 million in un-unfunded pension liabilities. the city is risking a loss of federal funds by maintaining status as a sanctuary city. the president says his graduate crackdown on cities like that, tougher immigration policies for example. >> president trump: we've taken swift and strong action to secure the southern border of the united states and to begin the construction of a great, great, border wall.

stopping the flow of illegal immigration, we will say though mike saved countless tax dollars, that's so important because the dollars that we are losing our beyond anything that you can imagine. in the tax dollars that can be used to rebuild struggling american communities including our inner cities. >> tucker: the mayor of hartford joins us now, thanks for coming on. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: i used to live in hartford so i've been following you and i must say you seem more impressive than a lot of mayors the city has had because i think it's a good city and it needs help. i've been following your argument on this on sanctuary cities and one of them that's familiar to me is that it will make the city safer, not to bother people to about their immigration status. that's up for debate but how many illegal immigrants in hartford commit crimes, how many

have been committed by illegal immigrant in hartford? >> i talk to our police chief and i ask him how much of our crimes that occurs in this city is committed by undocumented individuals and the answer i get back to them is virtually none appeared we are a city that's tackling a financial crisis, you were here a while ago, the city's been financially strapped for decades but for the first time in a long time can we have a demonstration tackling those financial issues head on. we are fixing the structural stuff that needs to be fixed. while we are doing that, we've got to make sure were spending those dollars wisely. that means prioritizing our law enforcement on people who actually pose a risk. violent criminals. and suspected terrorists. were going to continue to do that. and not to allow our local law enforcement to be conscripted into serving as a dragnet to help round up undocumented individuals that pose no threat to anybody. >> tucker: you say virtually no crimes in hartford are

committed by illegal immigrants, what's the number? >> i'm same with our police chief i think a mayor should respect the judgment of police chief on matters of public safety. our police chief says that if we ask our police to start serving as the tip of the spear for federal enforcement agencies, were not talk about individuals. >> tucker: you're missing my question. >> chris: in general to help round up undocumented individuals, their concern that's good to hamper their ability to build relationships to allow them to get information. >> tucker: they work for you, you make the policies. they carry out your orders on that bridge when you devised a policy i would think you would want to know the number is, are you telling me you didn't get the exact number from the chief of police, clearly they commit some. how many committed by illegal aliens leicester in hartford you're saying you don't know. >> just like the international association of police chiefs which came out with a strongly worded letter mandating that local law enforcement to serve

as a dragnet to try to focus enforcement efforts on people who pose no threat is not the way to keep cities safe. >> tucker: i'm going to have to interrupt your filibustering, you don't know the number. when you say they pose no threat, you can't back it up. >> your misunderstanding make. what i'm saying is were going to target those individuals who we know have committed crimes. if we find somebody who is an undocumented individual and that person is a violent criminal, we want that person to portage. just like if we have someone who was involved in gang activity or we've got somebody who's a suspected terrorist, we want to partner with the feds to get those people out. >> tucker: i ask you at the outset, what is the scope of the problem what's mark we know there's a lot of crimes committed by people in america illegally, the top news story on foxnews.com is this, from bridgeport as he did not far away, officer hernandez accused of killing his girlfriend and taking off with her daughter he

was caught by federal officers in your city 2013, deported and came back. this is a real thing, for you to say virtually no crimes are committed by illegal aliens without knowing the actual number. >> your proving my point exactly, that's exactly the kind of person that we ought to be prioritizing. state, local, federal partners working together to prioritize people who have records of violent crime. that individual had a long record of violent crime, he was deported under the obama administration. that's exactly what we want to work together to get rid of. under connecticut law. >> tucker: they did so with the help of local authorities of the whole point. you're saying my cup should not be helping the feds do this pretty >> no, you're either not listening or your intentionally misleading. i'm sick that's exactly where our cops or working hand-in-hand with the feds to get that person out of here. >> tucker: you know exactly what's going on as well as i come you don't want to offend a

political constituency and you're saying we are taking a stand >> you're telling me a political constituency is undocumented individuals watch market >> tucker: you know exactly what i'm saying. it's politically unpopular for you to say you're in any way cooperating with the trump administration on this divisive issue. you don't know the scope of the problem because you didn't ask her police chief how many people committed crimes illegally? >> i did as the police chief and this is what i'm going to respect the judgment on quick mark i asked him do you want your police officers to become responsible for asking victims of crime or witnesses of crime about their immigration status if they are free share information? do you want to be detaining people who haven't committed any crime simply on the basis? he said definitively no. >> tucker: if you ask it that politically i'm worried about your leader slip. should you get the number before you devise policy, you're a smart guy, dominic.

>> i think what i should do is mayor and what you should do is whatever you are is it consult those people who are actually in law enforcement. the international association of police chiefs is a very clear view on this. >> tucker: all provide numbers because i take the job seriousl seriously. >> chris: do have the numbers? >> tucker: you didn't even ask her police chief when you get those numbers send them to me if they really are an example i'll be willing to apologize. thanks. plenty of hollywood stars has bemoaned the president's immigration status, if you love the refugees so much wanted to let them in for the parties? how about the oscars? he joins us an dominic us next. to esurance could save hundreds.

nuedexta made a difference by reducing my pba episodes. ask about nuedexta and go to nuedexta.com

>> tucker: if hollywood hates immigration so much they should stop controlling access to their parties, if they don't come with racist, he played vaudeville and sanchez, he died horribly in those roles, the man himself is still life, it's great to see her. i must read the note of it here. i propose merrill state, chelsea handler, richard gere and robert de niro and others lead and oscar first do away with burials and tickets to the parties, i asked all migrants and illegal criminals to converse and hollywood to come to the oscars in the after parties and not just to serve the wine and the appetizers but to attend to. >> 3500 seats at the oscars and if there's other parties all around town, "vanity fair" party, let them come as guests. get 3,000 tickets to the illegal immigrants, the criminal scum of the refugees. let them enjoy the wolfgang puck dinners at the governors ball and the entertainment. i think it's about time that hollywood and they do great things and i respect all those talents. i disagreed vehemently with the

message they give america. i ask all of you if you're listening to me. converge on hollywood boulevard on the night of the oscars and be guests of all the people that believe we should have a country of no law and no order >> tucker: that's one of my concerns, there might be barriers keeping people out but >> i don't want any barriers, the men in blue, the police officers, hollywood shouldn't hire them to protect them anymore. they shouldn't have those protections. the hypocrisy of it all. then after the party, bring tents and camp out in bel air, there is 9-acre homes, i think they should camp out there and see what happens. this is with love in my heart. >> tucker: that's how you signed the peace with great love. do i think this will happen? >> i don't think it will happen. >> tucker: how could it not come how could you get up to the oscars and cities are marginalized people in the president or whomever is racist for wanted to keep them out and then keep them out of your oscar

party. can you imagine the thrill of being a syrian refugee and going to the "vanity fair" party. >> unvented syrian refugee, i think we should invite some of them right there from wherever they might be in budapest right now and bring them over and say come on, come to the oscars. it's sad that they don't, especially since, that's the hypocrisy of the whole thing. >> tucker: why do you think they don't quick mark i've been to a lot of parties in l.a., there are a lot of people who may or may not have illegal status who are serving you, but very few, maybe none. >> they treat them welcome they tipped him a few dollars here and there, and they thank them. there's a lot of people, have big hearts, a lot of towns have big hearts. >> tucker: i think a lot of them do, sure. >> they do great things. but some for some reason, they lost sight of the american worker the blue-collar america, and what america stood for. for some reason, why is venting,

he's not saying ban almost limbs, or been arrested refugees, this is on the books. he's not changing any laws. even the seven states that -- countries that obama had put down, there was no close to that. talk about the media for second. this media thing, we hear all over the of the media, i have an idea for the administration and everyone. who's the parent company of cnn? >> tucker: i can't get into that. there is a parent company. >> may i say it. what if at the things, time warner, parent company of cnn, jim macarthur, go. how about if they did that? they did universal, comcast msnbc, joe scarborough, go joe. now all of a sudden because of the president is held accountable and he's the main guy, should those companies be held accountable?

and maybe they'll think twice about how they're distorting news. >> tucker: great question. you haven't made many friends today in your hometown but thanks for joining us but >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: up next, we show you some surprising rhetoric from a top democrat many years ago. sale ends sunday! go to sleepnumber.com for a store near you. withevery late night...g... and moment away... with every click...call...punch... and paycheck... you've earned your medicare. it was a deal that was made long ago, and aarp believes
