among my guests, governors terry mcauliffe and scott walker. see you on sunday. meanwhile, good night from washington. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," we'll 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 theea transgender rights groups who was furious with president trump's recent action on bathrooms. first up, it's undoubtedly a new rumpage 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: globalha 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] and here is why. the internal logic makes sense. they are corporatists, globalist middle of the tmac to -- they are adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda that donald trump has. >> i always believe we should govern our own country, i always believe we should be free to reach out and make our own deals with real friends of the world. it's funny. the real friends of the world speak english, have common law, and stand by us in times of crisis. >> tucker: you may recognize that man, that was nigel farage who knows quite a bit about running the nationalist

movement. he was a top backer of the 2016 brexit referrendum. thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: it's official. there is no denying it with the president's speech. why? >> you say nationalism. i actually call it nation-ism. we believe in the unit. that's what we cheer for in the olympics. as if necessary, that is what we are preparednd to fight for it. it embodies our values, our families, our communities, our heritage, our identity. maybe even our tribe. what happened in 2016 with's brexit and trump which i believable for rollout in 2017 is a return to normality.

what the global us are trying to do is 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.ob a i guess the obvious question is why did so many people in power spend so much time tryinghe to obliterate them? what was their motive? >> one of the motives was france and germany every 25 years kept fighting each other. >> tucker: exactly. >> they kind of wondered how do we stop the germans from crossing the rhine and try 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. >> 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 nationalist 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 problems but all the while, we have genuine democratic governments that think what we should do is trust the people, the people in all of these countries are not stupid, and they will not allow real extremists into power.

the one thing that i find it, tucker, just so offensive is for people like me and trump who have been pushing this idea of the nationstate.a you make your own laws. you control your own borders. you reach out to your friends. we have been called extreme eelist. we've been called fascists. we have been called all of the names under the sunun that 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 the globalist did, what theup super nationalist period, easily managed to get big business and the big banks on their side. >> tucker: right. >> they created a marketplace where they could carve everyone out at the expense of the small. we've gotze to recognize there e

vested interests that do not want brexit to be a success and do not want trump to be a success. this is not going to be a cakewalk. this is not going to be easy, i think that's what steve bannon was alluding 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.a. since november the eighth, what you see is a man who was elected on the ticket, t and he intendso put it into action. that is what some tmac democracy is supposed to be. i think he is bringing faith in the democratic process and i bet you that his popularity ratings are going to soar from here. >> tucker: do you think the people around him by end? do you see people like steve mnuchin, are they on board with this? >> the fact that somebody works at goldman doesn't make them a meansrson it probably

they are very knowledgeable and very bright and they understand financial t 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 aca couple years into this administration, this could be one of the most popular presidents in modern times. >> tucker: nigel farage on an optimistic note. thank you for coming on. if you have been awake at all, you probably know that president trump does not cares for the media. today at nigelia farage , 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. 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 mind bad stories if i deserve them and i love goode stories, i don't get too many of them. >> tucker: we're 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,an 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 coverages 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 h

and he's constantly going after fake news. what are you going to do? you have to defend your company. it may push a network like c and then into the opposition camp,io it probably helps their ratings when people don't like this president, and it widens the divide. by design. >> 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 press for an outlet like "the washington post" said the other day, we are here to preserve democracy from a tyrant, in effect. >> at the same time, the president ratcheting up attacking anonymous sources and resources are made up, they shouldn't be used.id 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 miesident fired his national security advisor. but where is this going? i had thought -- look, trump can

be very charming in b private. i thought he would mend fences. he did go tone "the new york times" soon after the election. it seems to be now that we are noww moving toward a kind of polarized situation, tucker, where a lot of the media whileng saying they are upholding standards, they are going after this president with a special zeal. all presidents should be covered aggressively, at the same time, the president and steve bannont had made clear that they have no interest in a truce, they're going to keep prosecuting this war. the president's word. "war." i don't know that it helpswa him pass his agenda but it sure fires up his base. at the same time it doesn't necessarily take him beyond his base. we are so unpopular, we are widely distrusted so we are a huge, big fat target for those who voted for trump, but we have to expand to people who didn't vote for him. >> tucker: the social pressure must be enormous in 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 befy embarrassed to file that.

>> i hope that's not the case, but keep in mind, wherere journalists responded to incentives, negative stories land on the front page leave the newscast, they might do more of that. here's the thing that people never got during the campaign, and i'm not sure they get now. negative press helps donald trump. p 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: by the way. as auc journalist, if you are emotionally invested in a story, you cannot see it clearly. people who feel hatred toward trump should not be covering him. or love.

it >> you see too much love from john was not >> 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, so watch that. hartford, connecticut, on the brink of financial ruin,et yet s mayor is risking some federal funds by maintaining a century city status. why is he doing that? he will join us to explain. 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

oh, how waso good!en house? did you apply? oh, i'll do it later today. your credit score must be amazing. my credit score? credit karma. it's free. that's great! um hm. just whip bam boom, it's done. that apartment is mine! credit karma. give yourself some credit.

>> tucker: thing seem like they ought 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'ss omnipresent in some places. amazing new piece entitled art miserable 21st centuries, he highlights the help scape that is some of america. p opioid addiction, existential despair. the article draws heavily from "men without work: america's invisible crisis," he joins us in the set. the most depressing title i've ever read.e he is the most depressing piece ever this year, it's so true. and it explains where we are. how does 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. >> tucker: what's so frustrating living in washington where you are living also being bombarded with sacred statistics from the federal government. the unemployment looks like an antique -- the the -- why is ia statistic? >> it's misleading. the actual little pieces in it are fine, but they are telling you the wrong thing. back in the days when we had dekensian world, in the unemployment is not a bad way at looking at things. there is a third way, neither looking for work nor working. that has been the largest demographic for 50 years. three times in the prime working

age, they were neither working or looking for work as unemployed. so if you are looking at unemployment rates, you are looking at wrong story. >> tucker: it's amazing how many politicians fall into the seat when they repeat that. one measure you use which seems accurate one, health outcomes. look at theof physical health. you say one is declining. >> if you look at how it's going for anglos, noneducated non-hispanic whites, we've got a death rate that's been going up since 2000. those are due to overdoses, suicides, poisonings, i've done a lot of work on communist countries. this is a little bit too close to russia for comfort. >> tucker: you say, and i could go on in our work his piece which which our readers will find, you say that people in our world is talking about income inequality.

whatever virtue signaling of how personally opposed to it, of course. but you say in abstraction, the reality of economic insecurity is what matters. what does that mean? i >> i think for most people, the great american escalator has broken down. we have a great escalator lifting each generation to new heights of prosperity, and people over the course of their lives. since about the year 2000, 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 alle of this money in a fantastic set of innovations for us. people want their own lives and their kids's lives to be better. that's where the anxiety comes. >> tucker: if there is 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 have been in a net business debt environment since about the year 20007. they have been grounding under regulation, grounding under burdens. it's not the big operations, it is the mom and pops who generate the jobs for people. free them up and let them do what they want to do. >> tucker: it goes back to work, it's about work. "men without work" is the name of your book. nick eberstadt, thanks a lot. president trump's decision on trans bathrooms is the one that obama took, we will talk about one group was not impressed. tiki barber running a barber shop?

yes!!! surprising. yes!!! what's not surprising? how much money david saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. who's next?

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 cpac today. he also signed an executive order intended to streamline federal regulations. for more on that, fox news correspondent kevin corke. >> you are right, this latest executive order actually creates -- within u.s. federal agencies. it's the latest and a decisive effort to pare back u.s. red tape. as you pointed out, this is in part andnd parcel of what the president has been talking about for quite some time, quite frankly. how do we unclog the engine of u.s. business? what is he trying to do is take aim at those regulations deemed most burdensome to the u.s. economy. as he also said, a busy day for

the president who spent some time at speed 21, talking to a raucous crowd. he told them that the fake news media are trying to discourage the american people, called them cunning andnd dishonest. he referred to one media outlet as the clinton news network, i will leave that to you on who that is. there was some consternation over the white house's decision to conduct an off-camera background reading for some but not all for the news media. notably left off the list of invitees, the times and cnn, although the media did get the access to people recording after the gaggle was over. this all happened on a day where the white house was pushing back very strongly on suggestions that the administration tried tt lean on the fbi to tap down a story in the times about the trump campaign and russia. a piece that fbi deputy director andrew mckay called "b.s." a chief of step reince priebus asked if there is anyway the the fbi could help.

but james call me didn't want bureau to get bogged down calling balls and strikes on every controversial media story, so they declined to get involve involved. white house officials insist tonight that they don't have any -- about the ongoing investigation into possible influence peddling by the russians during the campaign. that is their story. they are saying that their complaint with the fbi was really about the times story specifically. back to you. >> tucker: kevin corke. with two days ago, the trump administrator retracted and obama era guideline that claimed the 45 year old title ix e law required all public schools to let transgender students use the bathroom in the locker room of their choice. the white house as bathroom issues are properly concerned of state and local governments, a position that the obama -- julian weiss is -- to announce that as nonsense.

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

i can make that decision. what if ian did? what i would be allowed shower in a locker room? why not? >> the answer is no. for example, we have the gavin graham case, which is coming up in the supreme court very soon. the aclu put out its brief in that case. and they went through what he had to address. he changed his name, medical doctors, letters and psychologist and so on. it wasn't the kind of thing where he came in and said, "oh, i am going to be using the boys room." >> tucker: let's go through. there isuc a lot at stake here. because you do it for a living, there is a lot of money at stake and there is a lot bigger issues at stake. the issue of gender itself, the center at any society. what are the absolute standards that are required or a person to change his or her sex? >> -- a series of standards of care where we are on number

seven or eight company is coming up. this is something that doctors and medical people, colleges, have worked with for years. there is a whole protocol. i can't give you the entire thing right now, but i think it's important that there is something called "transgender," we have been here forever. we've been going to the bathroom forever. >> tucker: i'm not contesting any of that. to be clear, i'm not attacking anyone. but i think it's fair that so much is at stake to get much more precise than you are getting.t, so what exactly are they standards. are they legal standards?th are they standards you agree with? what exactly are the standards? the actual standards? a lot of money is at stake here. >> yes. the medical standard requires seeing a therapist for a certain period of time before cross hormones will be prescribed.

living as the opposite sex, other things to keep in mind is that the courts have been parsing this for the last 15-20 years. and so if somebody is being stereotyped because of their sex, because they do not proceed to fit in with appropriate masculinity or femininity, because of whatever people perceive as their birth sex, that is prohibited -- >> tucker: that's theti anti-determination statute. you still haven't explained, and i've asked you a h bunch, what e legal standards are. i don't think there are any. here's why that's a concern. we spend, the federal government spends over $11 billion every year on sex specific programs. i'm sure you know what they are. 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 if -- let's be honest with each other, there are no standards, actually, other than s "i say i'm a

different sex," how can i navigate this and what's going to prevent charlatans jumping in taking all that cash? >> in the field of athletics, there are standards that have been developed when someone is permitted to move into a particular single sex activity. it involves how long they have beenen on hormones, how long thr transition has been, whether or not they have the strength equivalent to -- women sports for example, there are standards that have been developed. i don't know all the details of that -- >> tucker: there is no absolute standard. you know. this is your job and you know that thatouou is not true. the wnba doesn't have the same standard as the olympics, as notre dame women's field hockey. there is no absolute standard. >> if that is what you are saying, if there is an absolute standard, you are correct. >> tucker: i know! >> we are working this out as a society. it doesn't mean put transgender people back in the closet or tell transgender youth to fend for yourself.

>> tucker: nobody is suggesting that at least on this show. look at this issue, and whenever you bring it up, what does this really mean? can you actually change your sex biologically, you are denounced as a hater. i'mo thinking it has nothing to do with it. it's fair to ask these questions. when are we going to find out, exactly, what it meansns to be a woman or a man? >> let me suggest this. i have a list here of 25 studies that have been done over the last 15 years by scientists, peer-reviewed journals, discussing exactly what it means to be transgender, when someone is transitioning. the difference in the basal ganglia, the neuron density in the brain and so on -- i'm sorry for being technical. the point is there are biological differences. >> tucker: let me ask you this this! y can you ascertain a person with a persons 'sex with a blood

test? >> no, not with a blood test. >> tucker: i don't know if that's correct, actually. look, do you agree -- i will leave it here. do you agree untilit there is a commonly recognized, legally recognized, standard for sex, what constitutes a man and woman, we've got to slow down a little bit. stop building up all these antidiscrimination statutes onto we can agree who's being discriminated against, who meets the standard. >> we've had the laws in the books for the past, you know, 40 years. they have come to 4 understand this includes transgender people for the last 15 years. we are all in society, we are going in the bathroom. we are showering. we are in athletics. you cannot send us back. still no one is suggesting that. you are dodging the question because you don't have an answer. i don't feeldo like you take ths seriously because this is a serious issue. it's not a matter of saying that we won't hear or going away -- >>aying that there is no standard, until we have an absolute standard, we can't do anything and i i disagree with that.

>> tucker: don't give $11 billion away to people who are thinking! >> what are you talking about! what is your evidenceho of thinking! tell me who is speaking and we can discuss it. >> tucker: jillian, thank you for joining us. the mayor is raising federal funds to preserve sanctuary city status. so tell us why next. especially for people with heart failure. but today there's entresto... a breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine,

don't take entresto. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. tomorrow, i'm gonna step out with my favorite girl. ask your doctor about entresto. and help make the gift of tomorrow 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 pension liabilities. the city is risking a loss of federal funds by maintainingsi status as a sanctuary city. the president say he's going to crack down on cities like that. >> 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 -- they are so important, because the tax, the dollars we are losing or beyond anything that you can imagine.ol and the tax dollars that can be used to rebuild struggling american communities, including our inner cities. >> tucker: luke bronin is the mayor of heart forward. mr., thank youow for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: i used to live in hartford so i've been following you and i must say you seem mort 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 the argument on sanctuary cities.ti one of your arguments familiar to me, it will make this city safer not to bother people about their immigration status. and that is up for debate of course. the obvious question is how many illegal immigrants in hartford commit crimes, how many crimes

have been committed by illegal immigrants in hartford? >> i talk to our police chiefn 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 c -- looks, we are a city that is tackling our financial crisis had on. you were here a while ago. there 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 theem structural stuff that needs to be fixed. while we are doingwe that, we've got to make sure were spending those dollars wisely. that means prioritizing our law enforcement on people whogo actually pose a risk. violent criminals. >> tucker: good for you. >> gang members. suspected terrorists. and we are going to continue do that. but what we are going to do is not allow our local law enforcement to be conscripted into serving as a local dragnet to help round up undocumented individuals that pose no threat to anybody. >> tucker: when you say that

no crimes are committed by illegal immigrants, what is the number? >> what i'm saying is our police chief, whof i think i'm 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 federation ce federal enforcement agencies -- >> tucker:ls you are missing my question. >> inn general to help round up undocumented individuals, they are concerned that that will hamper their ability to build relationships to keep the city state. >> tucker: you work for them. you make the policies. they carry your orders out on that. >>e w that's right. >> tucker: i think you would want to know what the number is. you didn't get the exact number. clearly they commit some. how many were committed by illegal aliens in hartford, you don't know. >> just like the international association of police chiefs, which came up with a strongly worded letter and said that 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 to keep city safe. >> tucker: what do you mean "pose a threat"? i have to interrupt your filibuster, mr. mayor. you don't know the number. when you say they don't pose no threat, you can't back it up. >> you misunderstand me, tucker. what i am saying -- >> tucker: i don't think i do. >> what i'm saying is we target those individuals we know have committed crimes. if we find somebody who was an undocumented individual, and that person is a violent criminal, we want that person deported. just like if we got someone involved in gang activity or somebody who was a suspected terrorist,su we want to partner with the feds to get those people out of here. >> tucker: what you are saying, what is the scope of the problem? we know there are a lot of times committed in america by people here illegally. it just so happens that the top news story on foxnews.com right right now is this from bridgeport, a city not far away. oscar hernandez

accused of killing his girlfriend and running off of the dog. he came back. this is a real thinker for you to say virtually no crimes arete committed by illegal aliens -- >> you are proving my point exactly. you are proving my point exactly. that's exactly the kind ofe person that we ought to be prioritizing. state, local, and federal partners working together to prioritize people who haveav records of violent crime. that individual has a long record of violent crime. that, individual was deported under the obamade administratio. >> tucker: the feds grabbed him! >> under connecticut law -- >> tucker: that's the whole point. you are saying that my cops and should not be helping the fedss do this. >> no, no, no. you are either not listening or you are intentionally misleading. what i am saying is that's exactly where our cops are going to work hand in hand with the feds to get that person out of here. >> tucker: but you don't even know the scope of the -- look, you know what's going on as well as i.r: you don't want to offend no
