factor. a big factor interview tomorrow. again, thank you for watching us tonight. please remember that the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," a recurring theme -- actively hostile to your beliefs and interests. massachusetts lawmakers trying to keep illegal immigrants on the wrong side of the wall, helping them violate federal la law. federal funds apparently going to a program that teaches kids the tenants of islam. we open with perhaps the most extreme example of this trend, the opioid epidemic which has been funded by the federal government. if you would think they would be bipartisan support to fight that but that does not seem to be the case.

intended to combat this crisis, heroin use has quint quadruple. that is more than ten at nine elevenths and a single year. and four times the deaths in iraq and afghanistan combined. congressman tim ryan represents ohio, a place that has been devastated by opioid abuse. can republicans and democrats come together to do more or are the two parties only agreeing on gridlocked? thank you for coming on. so, the president says we need to take this seriously. that's not something you have heard very much from national leaders, why is this bad? >> it's just not enough. we do not need another commission to make investments into this problem. the search in general just had a report, we don't need another commission. we know what the problem is. >> tucker: the problem in large part is pharmacies and places that have -- interactive

maps showing prescriptions for opioid medications. a lot of countries -- pharmacies are not allowed to prescribe opioids. you have to go to a hospital for that. that would do a lot to solve the problem, why are they doing that? >> i think that's a great idea. you have to do both. you have to do the prevention, treatment and all of that stuff but yet, there needs to be a massive crackdown on these folks. i for one would be ready, willing and able to do it. we do not need a commission, we need the president to say what you just said. let's get the work. >> tucker: i am a little confused. you have seen this firsthand. it is a rampant in the district you represent. i don't understand how democrats are saying taking away obamacare funding would make this situation worse. this problem has flowered under the seven years of obamacare so far. whatever that program is doing

is clearly not stopping this problem, is it? >> the trump care provisions were to get rid of the essential benefits package that we put into obamacare, the essential benefits package included mental health and substance abuse coverage. if that goes away, that person in my county in ohio, if they want to get clean and can't afford it or they are medicaid and go to get treatment, they are out of luck. >> tucker: i am not against treatment, but with opioid addiction, a physical addiction as well as a psychological addiction, the relapse rate is really high. no matter what the program is. maybe job at one would be preventing this from happening in the first place. so the main producer of the drug at the center of this, oxyconti oxycontin. one of the richest families in the world owning this. and yet, their donors to both parties. the clinton foundation.

i don't care any politician, saying you are profiting from this. why not? >> it's not the whole thing. we need to be clearer on the fact that we are prescribing too much. it's just as important to make sure that we are telling our doctors, training our doctors. don't see this as the ultimate solution and keep writing these prescriptions. we have a bill to help with the va clinic. to begin to educate doctors about what a big problem this is. >> tucker: how about punishing a few? there are 100 opioid prescriptions per people. i'm not sure how they arrived to that but that is shocking, we have seen that in other places too. why don't you say if we because you overprescribing, we put you in jail? this is killing more people than the last two wars. >> most of it would be state law, those kind of regulations. crime and punishment comes from the state but i would be all for

us sitting down. let's have hearings about this. we do not need a commission. we need some ideas that we can begin -- i'm all for it. republicans are in charge right now. i would be supportive of something like that. >> tucker: why haven't you or anyone else proposed it? are people who allow drugs in their possession to be misused, if i leave a loaded handgun on my front porch, and a child shoots it, i am liable for that. or you reading studies that show a huge number of kids who get addicted to heroin start with stealing their parents prescriptions. why not punish the parents? >> they may actually have a problem, the parents. they are utilizing the prescription. that's why a lot of this can be education. we need to focus on education of parents, of kids. there needs to be a massive public relations campaign especially for young kids, not necessarily dealing with the painkillers but having these pill parties. we have to make sure these kids

understand just trying this stuff once can get you addicted and kill you. >> tucker: is there a single person who doesn't know that about heroin? is there a single attic who cares about a public relations campaign? that's a whole differt ball game once you are addicted. i'm talking about young kids. of course a lot of kids do not know. they have no idea -- >> tucker: they do not know that heroin is addictive. >> they are in a little medicine bottle. these pills. >> tucker: you represent a district that at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, every lawmaker in washington -- the death rate was about to go per 100,000. it's over ten per hundred thousand for opioids. it's a massive scale and you do not hear anyone talking about the supply problem. penalties for people who push this into communities. why would congress tomorrow get behind rebels tell mike

legislation? >> i think there's a place for that. you can't say punishment will be the only issue. >> tucker: there is no punishment at all. >> well, there needs to be some. >> tucker: drug companies, we know their names, they are profiting from this stuff. pharmacies are too. they are the most money. most deaths and no one has said it well, wait a second, why don't we punish the people profiting from a scorch that is killing thousands of people? >> we would need regulation. money invested into these thing things, passing a budget. they can't just be punishments. it has to be prevention. talking to the kids. teaching and training doctors not to just prescribe opiates randomly because it solves the quick problem, knowing that at the end -- they were talking today about taking your pills that you've gotten your medicine cabinet and bringing them and disposing of them properly.

it took us five years, tucker, to pass comprehensive addiction and recovery act. five years we have been working on that bill to reauthorize programs that were going to be able to help with prevention and treatment and recovery. it takes a long time to do this stuff. >> tucker: what is the highest success rate of a drug treatment program that you would like to see the government fund? >> the ideal? >> tucker: what is the most effective one? rehabilitation program for opioid abuse, that gets you off all drugs. what is the success rate? >> the most effective programs are the longest ones. the longest ones are the most expensive ones. we are going to dry out for seven days -- you can say that. that does not have nearly the impact. >> tucker: you are saying we should spend hundreds of millions on this. my question is a simple one. how successful are they? what do you recommend?

>> the long term care the best one. 30 days, 45 days. 60 days. you have to completely break the addiction. >> tucker: after five years to have a 50% success rate? >> it all depends on the proper person. a lot of these times, they go back to the same communities they came from. the communities where they got addicted in the first place, where they are buying the heroin. there's a lot of problems -- -- >> tucker: are you familiar with a program that you would fund as a federal legislature that actually works to get the majority of people off opiates for five years? >> there are a lot of programs that do long-term care. they are all kinds of treatment centers. what i'm telling you, of all the treatment centers in the country, the ones that have the highest success rates are the ones that have the extended plans but a lot of those are not covered. a lot of people don't have the insurance.

they don't have the out of pocket. >> tucker: i've seen a lot of this and i am not aware of any specific program that has over time a consistent success rate over 50%. i would love to hear from anyone who runs them. >> it will be expensive. >> tucker: thank you for joining us, congressman. the last time we addressed the opioid crisis, we will be doing a segment on it. how bad is the crisis, how do we get here, who is profiting from it and what can we do about it? it will be eye-opening. stay tuned for that. homeland security john kelly just two days after attorney general jeff sessions said he would cut off any funds for sanctuary city laws. they should not be penalized as a result, since one person. >> we are opposed to any funding being taken away as a punitive

measure. >> this perception has been circulated, questioning whether rockville compliance with federal law. absolutely we do. >> absolutely we do. we work every single day with i.c.e. >> these threats are holding back funding for cities across america. these are taxpayer dollars. >> tucker: and many other lawmakers disagree, though. pushing its own plan to stamp out sanctuary cities in its own state. >> $1.5 million of funding from the governor's office to travis county come on top of that -- what texas is seeking to do is to make it so punishing that they simply cannot have the sanctuary cities. what that includes a fine that could end up to $9 million a year. >> tucker: sanctuary cities already giving the feds plenty of problems in forcing u.s. immigration laws. actively sabotaging their work, one state representative in

massachusetts, michelle dubois used facebook to warn people of an i.c.e. raid in brockton. >> you are right, she is facing considerable backlash here in the community after putting this posting on facebook, essentially warning undocumented immigrants about a rumored raid that would be taking place by the federal officials. a democrat from brockton published this post on tuesday. she claimed she got word on this impending raid from in a latin community. they would be in the city on wednesday, today. she advised that if you are undocumented, do not go out on the street. if there's a knock on the door of your house and you do not know who it is, don't open the door. i ask you to be careful. she pushed back against any notion that she has taken this too far. >> the issue with spreading a rumored -- >> it is information in my

community. >> do see how this could be seen as fear mongering? >> no. >> why not? >> i just don't. >> local and federal law enforcement were quick to denounce this action including the sheriff of the county. hood recently testified before congress on capitol hill called for the leaders of sanctuary cities to be arrested. he believes that michelle dubois betrayed her constituents. >> him to have chosen constantly to violate her oath and put more interest in protecting illegals, potentially criminals if i.c.e. were involved in this initiative, over the safety of her citizens -- she needs to step down. >> denying the agency writing -- any person in law enforcement is doing the service

the very people they can claim to and represent. the harshest actually interfered with law enforcement and while she has some support within the immigration community, the leader of one of the region's biggest umbrella organizations represents immigrants in the community called her actions irresponsible. >> tucker: you think? molly line, thank you for joining us tonight. on the matter of representative dubois, she is supposed to enact the law. she actively encourages people to defy and ignore them. that is not just ironic, it is reckless. we live in a society on the expectation that people are going to follow the rules and those who do not are going to be punished. it's not just something that superman upholds, it's a real concept with meaning. that's what makes it possible to eat and take medicine without being afraid of being poisoned. at some point, civilization

starts to fall apart. representatives like representative dubois, on behalf of their perverts causes? what if a republican state attorney general announced he did not like federal gun laws and decided to stop prosecuting legislations? announcing the irs just when investigate or below a certain level? it might get crazier from there -- bill ayres have long been heroes on the left, lionized. what if a republican governor -- in other words, what would happen if republicans started acting like democrats and behaving as if laws do not matter? the country would not last long, that is for sure. up next, the head of a christian group says the department of education is a legally funding a program that teaches islam to kids. we'll be here next. things of the side of this country in favor of pushing paper -- the great mike rowe joins us to discuss his effort

[ doorbell rings ] par-tay! xfinity watchathon week starts april 3. get unlimited access to all of netflix and more, free with xfinity on demand. >> tucker: the first amendment prohibits the establishment of a state religion in this country, of course that laws used to stop prayers at football games and other dangerous expressions of faith like that but now kristen group says it is needed to stop the federal government from promoting the religion of islam. according to the christian action network, the department of education is funding educational materials about islam distributed by pbs. thinly veiled propaganda. we were told the department does

not fund or encourage a particular curriculum. that's a strictly state and local issue. however at the cbs web site says the classroom lessons are funded by the department of education. we pointed that out to the education department. we are waiting for a response from them. the founder of the christian action network, he joins us now. explain how you believe the department of education is funding pro-islamic propaganda. what are they doing exactly? >> if you go to the pbs learning media web site and pull up the islamic education programs, they have the department of education seal on it and it says funded by the department of education. we took a look at the various programs that are available for the public schools and we were quite frankly shocked by some of this -- the lesson plans the students have to achieve in the classroom for instance, teachers are expected to ask their

students -- what does a muslim prayer sound like? what do muslim prayer movements look like? what are some of the things that muslims say when they are praying? you have to ask yourself the question, why does the federal government find it necessary that our kids, grades 5-12 know what a muslim prayer sounds like custom and as a matter of fact, how many teachers grade students on that? students are also given a worksheet and on that worksheet, they have verses from the koran that they have to read and then the student has to get the meaning of those verses. then they have to explain how those verses are used in the everyday life of a muslim. can you imagine the outrage that the students were given scripture from the new testament and told they have to give the meaning to interpret that new testament scripture and explain

how christians use that scripture in their everyday lif life. we know the aclu would be outraged. they would have a lawsuit in their hand and probably break a leg trying to get up those steps. >> tucker: that would not be diversity or whatever so maybe that is the short answer for why the success. you touched on my second question, is there comparable instruction on other religions? you can make a case and i think it's a fair one that you want kids to understand the great worlds of religion. it is a historical fact that islam has shaped the world and you should know something about it. is there a similar instruction on other religions? >> there is no similar education program by the d.o.e. for any of the other major religions. but let's take a look at this. let's say that there was. should a schoolteacher in her position be grading students on how they interpret the koran or the new testament? how they would interpret the old

testament? this goes way beyond what a schoolteacher's job is about. these are questions that are up to theologians, priests. a pastor. not a schoolteacher. students are asked to watch all these videos funded by the department of education. one of the videos showed how to conduct a muslim prayer. how to lay out a prayer rug. why do children need to do this? this is a sunday school class, this is what the department of education put out for teachers to incorporate in their classroom. >> tucker: last question. the mark of objective coverage is skepticism. is there any skepticism and evidence of islam, any criticism of islam as a role in the slave trade or any historical event? is there critical distance from the topic or is it just presented as something neutral or positive?

>> definitely presented as positive. when people watch a video of a man that converted from christianity to islam, that is promoting islam. when that same man looks his children in the eye and says submit yourself to all love because all it is the one true god -- this is funded by the department of education for school use. this is no longer something that is comparing religions, this is. >> tucker: that is propaganda, for sure. not surprising. a new study estimating the percentage of live births in each state that are paid for by medicaid. funding the health care of americans porous citizens. if you remember a country with a strong self-sufficient middle-class, these are bracing numbers so prepare yourself. in 24 of the 50 states, half of all births are paid for by medicaid. the five biggest states, california, texas, new york and illinois.

not something that is just happening in isolated parts of the country. in the state of new mexico, at 72% of all births paid for by medicaid. it's ominous. if children are our future, what does this mean for america's future? good question. up next, on its blue-collar labor cannot even catch a break in the game of monopoly. mike rao, here to tell of how that game has changed and how it reflects our changing values. stay tuned. i never miss an early morning market. but with my back pain i couldn't sleep or get up in time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. and now. i'm back! aleve pm for a better am.

component? >> you can have yours in various components. >> tucker: the wheelbarrow app, i recognize that. this is a metaphor you are saying for changing attitudes about work. -- >> we can talk about it in a lot of different weights but fundamentally, it is interesting and instructive to find the ways we are either consciously or subconsciously to care how mike declared war on work release the traditional notions of work. this is exactly the kind of thing -- i don't know how far you want to look into it but clearly icons and tokens and metaphors -- these are powerful things. in a way, i believe it is fair to say we represent and value things in ways that make sense to our brain. we have a rubber ducky. >> tucker: taxis working at twice the rate of production.

the work ethic scholarships, either were saying applicants sign a solemn oath not to become a lazy, self entitled drone who blames others for their troubles and expect to be taken care of. not everyone is going to be signing this. >> that is a loose translation of the sweat pledge, skills and work ethic are not taboo. and it is several things you have to agree to for the scholarship and the fact that we ask people to make an affirmative case for themselves and a few other things, it makes it very difficult to give away half a million dollars which is something we do every year at the foundation. as part of the reason i wanted to come on your show. the money as they are. for people who want to learn a skill or a job that is actually in demand is something that you should know about. we have talked about it before. 5.6 million jobs available right

now. most of which do not require a four-year degree and for whatever reason, people are not enthused by their existence. we are trying to remedy that. >> tucker: you made a living listing the people who don't live on the coast. what do we know about the rest of the country? there was this massive fire -- thousands of square miles of land in kansas and oklahoma went up in flames. i didn't see that covered anywhere. >> i didn't either except on my facebook page were about 20,000 people asked me to please post about it. these are farmers in texas and oklahoma and in parts of colorado, in kansas that have literally spent most of last week shooting their cattle. cattle that have been maimed in these terrible fires. it's literally the katrina of the high plains. i learned about it from ranchers

on my facebook page. coincidently on national agriculture day. i posted about it. i just posted -- paul harvey used to do a show but he also had a short essay called god made a farmer. i posted that on the page with a couple paragraphs saying look, these people -- their backs are against the wall right now and i do not think the country gets it. that thing was shared 175,000 times. it makes me think. what aren't we connected to? i think the answer once again is a whole lot of stuff in the middle. >> tucker: yeah. like a lot of people dying of opioid ods. we you have a podcast. >> it's called the way i heard it. i spent most of last year seeing if anybody cared about short stories written in that paul harvey kind of mystery way. 50 million people have apparently downloaded or viewed the thing. so, important people have called and said you should do more. so we are doing more at

micro.com/podcast. i just shamelessly plug that on your show. >> tucker: to go up at the end as paul harvey did, with an octave? >> i do not, i am my own man, tucker. i go down an octave. >> tucker: [laughs] like bowser. mike rowe, thank you for all this. it is great to see you. up next, the republican party cannot pass an obamacare repeal but they could pass a law giving internet companies the power to sell your online history. is this the end of privacy? or is it just the status quo? a panel will debate that, coming up.

various: (shouting) heigh! ho! ( ♪ ) it's off to work we go! woman: on the gulf coast, new exxonmobil projects are expected to create over 45,000 jobs. and each job created by the energy industry supports two others in the community. altogether, the industry supports over 9 million jobs nationwide. these are jobs that natural gas is helping make happen, all while reducing america's emissions. energy lives here. hi, i'm frank. all while reducing america's emissions. i take movantik for oic, opioid-induced constipation. had a bad back injury, my doctor prescribed opioids which helped with the chronic pain, but backed me up big-time. tried prunes, laxatives, still constipated... had to talk to my doctor. she said, "how long you been holding this in?" (laughs) that was my movantik moment. my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often.

don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects, including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects. why hold it in? have your movantik moment. talk to your doctor about opioid-induced constipation. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

>> tucker: they say that congress is not doing much but the republicans have just passed and president trump is expected to sign a bill that repeals regulations that barred internet

service providers from selling their client's browser history to other companies. people are very upset about this, suggesting that everybody's habits will become a habit of public record. it simply reverts to the status quo of last year, it did not go into effect. so did everything really change? supporting the move, the center for democracy and technology, appalled by it. they both join us now. first to you, mr. mcdowell. you couldn't get obamacare repealed and the first major thing you do is make it legal for internet service providers to sell my browser history? commercially? how is that on your priority list? what is that? >> that's up to congress but the thank you so much for having me on your show. i'm talking to you from anchorage, alaska. on our way to that dinner, it does revert back to the old law. you have to keep in mind that the fcc acted in 2016 for

internet survivors back service providers. from that time until last october, the world did not end. so there are other laws already on the books for federal and state that regulators and consumer advocates have in their quiver of people, to launch internet service providers who might misbehave but all of the major internet service providers have already come out with the standards of conduct. if they were to violate those terms of service or contracts, there would be massive class action lawsuits. the federal trade commission came out with a joint statement back on march 1st saying they would vigilantly protect consumer privacy in this realm. there's a lot going on. it's very complex. >> tucker: i know it is complex. but it does get to some basic human fears about what others are seeing without our knowledge. i think mr. mcdowell makes a

couple interesting points. one, there's pretty effective self policing already in place and this is the status quo. it never even went into effect so why are we so sprung out about this? >> the result of this action means there's no cop on the beat, referring to internet service providers. which allow companies all the internet access into your house. the world we're living in today, it's not just your internet surfing habits, your television watching habits, your telephone calls, everything that happens on or in the internet world in your home, and the privacy of your own home with her family, kids, your dog. that will be known by one company. that's a little different than the internet companies we've been talking about. we are concerned about your privacy and data being used and misused. not just all the data being collected, all the decisions that are going to be made about you based on that data. based on that company on what they share and sell. limiting what you see online,

what information you get, what opportunities for advancement you get in your life. there are some serious repercussions. >> tucker: here is what bothers me, you do not have a choice for internet service providers. they negotiate with the town you live in to provide this to you. you don't really have a choice and again, why is it bad to say to them, for the government to say -- no you cannot misuse the private data you collect? >> you do have a choice of the internet service provider. you have local broadband, you have a choice and it covers a lot of isps. you've two standards. last october, created internet service providers with another standard by the federal trade commission for the rest of the world. which became confusing to consumers. you are very intelligent, well read. you know what companies have what data on you. what -- you have the federal

trade commission and federal communications commission chairman saying there is one standard to protect consumer privacy. again, from february 2016 -- the world did not end in terms of privacy. we have what we have today after the cra. they are going to march forward and come up with harmonized rules protecting consumers. the world really is not going to and from a privacy perspective. if an internet service provider with the start to breach their agreement and federal and state law, there would be an avalanche of lawsuits. as well as government agencies. the attorney general of the united states. >> tucker: so -- quickly, the concern about internet service providers having too much power i understand. but people seem way less concerned about google which seems to run the world and people presume their decency. why should we presume their decency? why not we paying closer

attention? >> the real difference is an internet service provider knows where you live, who you are, the credit card number because you have to pay your bill every month. maybe your social security number. you can do a lot of searching online. with their internet service provider, you really don't have a choice. in today's world, there's so much rob and i agree on on harmonization and fairness to companies and consumers but in the world we live in today, most americans have a choice of exactly one company to provide their internet sharing. you don't have marketing power. >> tucker: can we trust anonymous searching? >> absolutely. cdt.org. learn about the vpns, but i do not want a bird the consumers by having -- >> tucker: put some tape over the camera on your ipad. thank you both.

>> tucker: if you went to college, you probably had at least one encounter with a nutcase, professor. bad hair, crazy eyes. the executive director of turning point usa, for the past four months his group has been placing a selective group of academics on a professor watch list. they use their lectures to push their propaganda. a few new names, joining us now

to explain why they are there. charlie, good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: the watch list has driven a lot of people in the media completely crazy. you are mccarthyism. what kind of response have you gotten? >> some of these academics think this is the new rise of mccarthyism. i always joked back, at least we show you our list. this is an exercise of free speech. all these professors are so scared of what they have said being made public that maybe they should reconsider what they are saying. higher education is a choice that consumers make and the consumers are the students, our parents and alumni. people have a right to know in the lecture halls. somehow these professors are appalled that their academic comments are made public. we just kind of laugh and scoff and say if you are so fearful that if you are highly intellectual thoughts are now made public out of consolidated list, that is your problem.

not ours. >> tucker: every part of american life has become more accountable and transparent. you can look up your physician and a dentist and vet. but neither professor. tell me about some of the people who just made your list. >> one of my favorites is a professor who famously last september was so appalled and offended by the 9/11 memorial posters, marco love it. she decided to tear them down because she did not believe that these posters should be placed throughout the campus. more research showed that she actually in 2001 agreed that the u.s. is partly to blame for it. you are a student or alumni. giving money to saddleback college. is that really what you want your donation to go towards? professors that feel so offended by 9/11 memorial posters being placed on your campus -- another professor we have was a professor at cal state fullerton

who physically fought a trump supporting student. this is something you cover a lot. the left hates their idea that there is other ideas. they have been controlling academia for far too long. we are being a watchdog and putting them on notice. >> tucker: there is a high degree of emotional incompetence. they don't make a counter argument, they lose control of yourselves. almost childlike i would say. there is a harvard professor called daniel allen, tell us about her. >> danielle allen, she wrote an op-ed in "the washington post." pretty unintelligent unapologetic about this. she made a very flawed argument, she teaches that the rise of donald trump can be directly parallel to the rise of adolf hitler. she teaches that we could learn a lot from the rise of donald trump in this populace rise because actually it is very similar to adolf hitler and it

was incredible when you start to make these assertions and notions -- at turning point usa, we joke around and say the left says that if you disagree with me, you must be a nazi. that is the new adage of the american left and for people who are interested -- they can go to professorwatch list.org. see for yourself. these examples are well cited and documented. third-party verified examples. >> tucker: they are mostly banal. what you reveal is the ordinariness of their thinking. i think college professors are smart enough -- michael greene of unlv, here's how he described trump on facebook -- stupid. a lot of people are basically kind of stupid. have you noticed that? >> i agree, it is lack of substance. these are people that are supposedly have doctorates and are so smart.

they just dumpster dive into the pejoratives have no substance and no base. we just kind of laugh and say you are writing scholarly journals and being endowed for research? give me a break. this brings up a broader point. what is higher education really becoming? where everybody thinks the same and everyone is so liberal and it's sold to the left that is just a competition to find who can be the most radical. some of this is so baseless but it is important to point this out. people deserve to know. >> tucker: people are going to start to decide a humanities degree might not help my child, it might hurt my child. >> or corrupt them with this radical thinking. >> tucker: charlie kirk, thank you for joining us tonigh tonight. we'll be right back. so i made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira.

humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. 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. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. clearer skin is possible. usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children.

we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life.

virginia. he had this to say about accusations that he is swayed by political bias. watch. >> one of my daughters shared with me last summer a tweet and i am on twitter now, but she showed it to me and it said james kony is such a political hack. i can't figure out which party. [laughter] >> i smiled and i shared that with my senior staff and said that is the greatest compliment. >> tucker: a complement the people can't figure out director called me. he was -- regarding supposed russian election meddling. we have more of that tomorrow. wait, just one more thing. we have a new edition to the fox family. the lucky girl, scotland mary

born last night at 7 pounds, 1.. louis and his wife molly are some of our favorites. heartfelt congratulations to them. "hannity" is up next. we will see you tomorrow. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." we have new information on that the developing story you will not hear from the mainstream destroy trump media. we are going to uncover two shocking pieces of evidence that may show that the unmasked members of the trump team, they've may then surveilled. that is tonight's blockbuster opening monologue. let's go back to march 4th, president trump was ridiculed by the alt left propaganda destroy trump media. he tweeted out that members of his transition team have been wiretapped by the obama administration.
