>> martha: we are just about out of it. thanks for joining us tonight on "the first 100 days." tomorrow, we'll be back with the next. today 83 is tomorrow. have a good night. watch that kansas. >> good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. the battle to enforce americans laws continues across the country and our largest city tonight, just a few minutes we'll talk to a new york attorney who was upset that they nypd reported illegal aliens including a sex offender to the feds. first of tonight, claims of the trump administration as a gang of russian operatives is starting to look sillier day by day. russian diplomats say tonight the relations are at their worst since the cold war. secretary of state rex tillerson is in moscow trying to get russia to abandon syrian president bashar al-assad. he struggled however even to arrange a meeting with

vladimir putin. well, congressman brad sherman is on the intel committee. two months ago, alleged a tie between russia and trump or watergate two-point oh. things were joining us tonight. >> good to be with you. i'm senior on the foreign affairs committee, not on the intel committee. >> tucker: foreign affairs. so you have said for a long time that there are clearly ties between russia and the trump campaign and now administration and you've set it pretty florid lay. and yet today, you mock to the trump administration for not being able to get a meeting with vladimir putin. so which is it? 's trump of puppet of vladimir putin or are they at odds with each other in a way that's so appalling that you're making fun of it? >> the last time i was on the show, as it was clear that russia asked hillary whether trump was inclusion in russia has yet to be established. that's why we need an independent commission. but these revelations have put

the onus on the trump administration to bend over backwards and prove that they aren't in league with the kremlin and of course, this terrible action by assad, he kills people every day by the hundreds, but now to use chemical weapons, making it impossible for trump to ignore that. >> tucker: that's not actually what you alleged. you'll one point said the russian government doesn't need the lobbyists in the united states, the temptation being they are ready have them in the trump administration. again, you call this watergate 2.0. you didn't say the russia packed the election, whatever that means pretty sedated with the active cooperation of the trump people in your story fell apart based on the actions of last week. >> obviously, flynn is gone and he was particularly close to the russians, but one would expect with all of the bright light that was put on the russian trump connection that there

would be an administration trying to bend over backwards and they have to do with the vents and the events are that an air base was used to gas civilians and the russians are all over that airbase in. if they didn't know that they're not operating very effectively as a military force, they probably did know and so any president has got to respond to that. >> tucker: your saying to the trump people had to bend over backwards to accommodate russia, but now there attacking russia and pushing resident to distance themselves from the assad government. >> my comment was that since there is so much attention to whether or not they colluded with russia during the campaign, they now have to disprove that by being even a little tougher against russia. we when you're saying that you and your fellow democrats push the trump administration and to unnecessarily bomb syria to divert attention away from your

theory that trump and vladimir n were in bed together. >> we shined a light on the trump-russia connection. how trump responded to that and i can imagine that he would bomb syria for political reasons, but if he did, that was not our idea. our idea is to have a wide, clear eyed view of russia whether it's their occupation of crime area, their interference in eastern ukraine or their support for this dictator. >> tucker: i'm confused as to what you're saying. if you're saying that politics, the pressure you applied on trump played some role in his position to bomb syria you cannot possibly support that bombing. he would be horrified if you thought that. you would be calling out the administration for bombing syria and instead you're complementing them. so now i'm completely confused as to what you're alleging and why. >> the trump administration bomb syria for a number of reasons. whether one of those reasons was

to prove to some element of a country that they weren't too close to russia, we won't know. the trump administration says they did it in order to punish assad for his use of chemical weapons. defense of the chemical weapons d states,n is an important one that deserves at least some limited action, but certainly not an all-out war. that being said, our objectives and syria are threefold. protect the syrian people and hopefully provide them with good governance. second, crush isis. and third in importance but easiest to try to achieve is to stand up for the chemical weapons convention. that third element that was partially achieved by these bombing raids. >> ballistic three steps back. for months, you and fellow democrats have waged an orchestrated campaign against his administration on the basis of the claim that they were too close to russia, they were doing

the bidding great i did not mishear you or any of the dozens of guests you served with who have said that on the show. now we have conclusive evidence that not only does the trumpet minister should not doing the bidding of the putin government but is acting against the aims of putin government red is it time to admit we were wrong on that? why do admit that because it so clearly true? >> first, flynn was very close to russia. he is gone. they did. and they fired him in part because of the attention that democrats put on his involvement with russia, his speaking fees and payments, not speaking fees but just plain cash payments from the regime in turkey and et cetera. as to whether trump took this action for political reasons or for foreign policy reasons, i don't know. you have to ask him. it's appropriate for democrats. >> tucker: your dodging the

question, as it is clear evidence of the trump administration is not only not doing the bidding of russian for whatever reason but is acting against some of russia's most vital interests? it's a really simple point and a simple question and we just acknowledge that. >> the failure to sanction the many that should be sanction for ukraine, the failure to provide more assistance the ukrainian government, those are actions that are pro russia but clearly the tomahawk missiles against assad was a step that i think almost any president would've taken under the circumstances. anti-russia, anti-iran action. as the trump administration -- the trump administration may be too close to russia, but that doesn't mean that any democrat would say that they are in. >> tucker: we went to war potentially, finally. there were apparently chemical

weapons and syria. they're supposed to have been removed. four days ago on the radio in california, you said that you knew that under the watch of the obama administration, 95% of assaults chemical weapons were removed from that country. you couldn't know that number with any precision so far as i can tell pretty well would you say something like that? >> why don't i give you the precise number? 2,600,000 pounds of chemical -- toxic chemical warfare agents were removed from syria and destroyed. now whether that's 95%, 94%, or 96%, a precise number, weibel and determinable by international is 2,600,000 pounds. >> tucker: that's an immaterial number because it doesn't get to the proportion. that could be 1% of their available chemical weapons. you don't know and the truth is none of us knows. so why not just admit that? the obama administration said -- susan rice that on television we

got all the chemical weapons and they didn't. i'm not blaming them for assad's attack last week. i'm just saying they lied about it. why not just admit that? >> they clearly didn't lie about it. they thought they were getting it. i don't know the exact amount that was retained or what was manufactured or provided by a grant or russia since then. but we do know that under the obama administration, and 2,000,600 pounds of toxic agent was removed rated that's a precise number and an important number because you got to ask how twoof thousands of people -- go >> tucker: and they're not celebrating. >> it's not immaterial when you realize that this raid could've been far worse. no matter what happens and this is disaster, for one of the people who died, that disaster it is as big as it could possibly be. the fact is just because a line

of action isn't perfect, an action that removes from assad 2,600,000 pounds of chemical weapons begs the question, how many hundreds of thousands of people could he kill that he been able to retain that gas? >> tucker: a half glassful approach to it. things were joining us. i appreciate it. the trump administration has been sending mixed messages about its goals in syria during an interview today with fox business is maria bartiromo for the president said he did not want to send u.s. soldiers there. >> were not going into syria. when i see people using horrible, horrible chemical weapons which they agreed not to use under the obama administration but they violated it. a spiel they said they got rid of it. >> what i did should then brought down by the obama administration a long time before i did it. think syria would be a lot

better off right now than it has been. >> tucker: today, secretary of state rex tillerson said that bashar al-assad must go. >> it's clear to all of us that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. the question of how that ends in the transition itself could be very important in our view to the durability, the stability inside of a unified syria. >> the secretary of state spoke for almost all of washington. they would like to see bashar al-assad go. kitty hawk insistence from that goal. she's a daily columnist for global mail. thanks for joining us. so why are you against removing assad from power in syria? >> i think we have to remember, a secular leader and an area where everyone is run by their religion. he is there to protect christians. he is the legal leader of the sovereign state, and he is

winning this war. he is ahead in the war, and this war needs to be over. there is no doubt the man is a monster, he has done terrible things. i would always say need to choose your monsters. we saw from the disastrous triumph of the arab spring. what happens when you depose a leader but there's no one there to take his place, and we also saw just this week what happened to coptic christians in egypt where there's no one there actively defending them. under assad, women have the vote, when can drive the christians are protected. i think they need to focus on who the real enemy and the real enemy is isis. >> tucker: women could drive, they were basically compared to life under isis some liberal western freedoms recognizable western freedoms under assad. appalling though he is. why then aren't liberals in the

west calling for the preservation of his regime or at least it's confusing to me why they're so certain he should be killed. >> i think it's a curious thing that says he's a monster, the civil war has been going on for six years, 800,000 people have died or misplaced or displaced from their home. if people want to react to that and say that something must be done and i think we could agree that something has been done. the trump has been very clear now if you cross my redline, i mean it. but saying here, were not going to go into syria, there aren't going to be boots on the ground, that appears to be climbing down from that position. so i'm fully back on the trump train. last week, i was asking who stole my president? where the trump go? now i feel convinced that assad will remain in power. i believe he will end this war and i believe things can now move forward. >> tucker: save been watching this world for quite some time. a simple question.

the people who are now telling us that once we take assad out, everything's going to be fine, it'll work itself out somehow, those of the same people who told us that the housing market was fine. has there been anything that you've seen that that group of people has predicted correctly in the world in the past ten years? >> no. it's a bunch of nonsense and you make me sound quite all the saying of been around watching the world for quite a long time. thanks for that, tucker. i appreciated all the same. i do really feel and all the time of been writing for daily mill.com, what i consistently seal his liberals spouting the same old nonsense, predicting the same old nonsense, giving me poles that tell me nonsense all to no avail. they said assad must go, assad's abatis. when u.s. and the simple question okay, but then what? who then? who's going to lead? they have no answer. >> tucker: stop getting in the way of our war.

really quickly, closer to where you are in london, there was a big fire that burned out most of the migrant camp in dunkirk france. we have pictures on the screen, a fight apparently broke out between kurdish and afghan migrant spread how bad is it? it looks bad. you know about this. >> i had a suspicion early days that maybe it came down because they couldn't get 4g. that's what we've come to suspect from migrants if they aren't treated in the way that they come to anticipate they should be. i've spent some time in the migrant camp there because i wanted to see what it was really like and within two hours of being there, the migrants were trying to break through the fence to get onto the trucks to england. my photographer was mugged, his equipment was stolen, we were bored into a shipping container for our own protection and had to be taken in the back of a transit out of the camp. the thing i learned while i was there as that of wild stays migrants arrive, they are not one group. those old animosities, those old hatreds, the division from back

home, they bring it with them. the afghans don't speak to the era trance, the eritreans don't speak to the smallest, they don't speak to the kurds. the same, it was the kurds who were to the huts throwing oil over the stove and that's why that camp was burned down. they bring these problems to themselves. we make a mistake when we call the migrants because they're not a homogenous hold. they are still rival factions. >> tucker: not the friends we remember from our junior year abroad. thanks for joining us. next up, the nypd is defined by reporting legal aliens to the feds. next up, we'll talk to a lawyer his outrage of this enforcement of american immigration law. also will have the next part of our series on opioids redoing all week. president trump has alleged to help fix the crisis. a new pick for fda commissioner. stay tuned.

in 1999, he was convicted of sexual assault on a child and deported from this country. he stuck back in and last monthe was busted on the number seven train in a new york city subway molesting a woman. the nypd brought a man and called ice so he could be deported again, here illegally and you say that's outrageous. tell me why. >> okay. my opinion about it being outrageous is really based on the bigger picture as opposed to the individual client. mayor de blasio has gone on television and told new yorkers that new york was a sanctuary city. the immigrants, all new yorkers are safe and that we essentially have your back. and then what happens is immigrants walk around and they think everything is safe and they're okay and nobody's going to turn them in to immigration and then they get arrested and

nypd actually calls immigration from central booking and the outrageousness is really twofol twofold. >> tucker: stop there i want to make sure i have this straight. you're saying is outrageous that mary de blasio doesn't quote have the back of the convicted illegal alien sex offender who molested someone else on the subway. he should have his back? >> like i said, it's not about an individual client, it's about the bigger picture because were talking about -- >> tucker: were talking about an individual case, a real person. >> sure this actually happened. were talking about government. were talking about government agencies, talking about new york city police department, talking about new york city courts them. >> you want to take it to an abstract level of 35,000 people pray about. this man wanted to bless the woman on the subway. he is in a convicted sex offender. you're saying that mary de blasio should have back and shouldn't be mean to the sky because why?

stick is not about being mean. >> tucker: about supporting him. >> i'm not saying whether or not the mayor should have some his back or not. >> tucker: that's what you just said. >> i'm saying the merrick said it. the mayor came on television set new yorkers, were all safe. don't worry. and in fact, they're not. when they come to court, they are not safe. it's not about whether it's a secular level. >> tucker: is about a guy called david gonzales. i'm a public defender who handles 35,000 cases a year. >> i get it. >> tucker: you want to make it about everybody, but you're saying if you're on the subway and got blessed by david gonzales, what are you doing this country, how did he get bak after being convicted of sexually assaulting a child? may be willing to let that's unwelcome. >> i might ask all of those things and not simon individual person, i get it. i get the individual person is saying. >> tucker: but you can think about the individual because i

mix it too complicated? >> no. i can ask to think about the individual. i can understand an individual's point of view them. they're here, they're illegal, they're committing crime, you're the police will come why can't you make them leave? and got it. and i get that you want to continue to say their molesting children, their molesting children. when he actually did molest children. >> one person molested a child, he was convicted of that. but it's a bigger issue when you're talking about government. you're talking about a mayor, talking about a court system, talking about a police department. and you're talking but a promise that we are a sanctuary city and in fact who, nypd is calling immigration and turning these people in based on -- let me finish. based on what's called an ncic report. that's a report that gets attached to the end of a rap sheet and what comes on that report says things like this person has immigration issues,

this person has deportation, this person is wanted for murder in texas, this person was convicted of this or that or the other thing. >> tucker: you're telling me it shouldn't take that into account because why connect and to this question. how does that serve the interest of people who are here legally like american citizens like me or you or our children? >> here's why we shouldn't take the ncic report seriously because it is based on a name check and the date of birth. it's not based on somebody's fingerprints. it's well, we think this guy might be -- >> tucker: nobody gets reported without a identity verification. when not grabbing people on the street and sending them out of the country. all those checks are done before they're put on the plane back to wherever. this is not a real argument you're making. still that's actually not true. >> tucker: the tragedy that took place to an individual. because inconvenient to your argument. you're never going to win anyone over until he can look the facts right in the face and respond to them. >> i can look the facts in the

face about this particular client. like i said, however, when you were talking about the government and governmental agencies and talking about an entire city, you either say what you mean and mean what you say. >> tucker: okay. >> how about if you tell people that they're safe and they come to court and they're not, -- >> tucker: thanks for coming on tonight. up next, a federal judge has struck down texas' voter i.d. law for the second time for america to pass any laws protecting against voter fraud, don't get charged with bigotry. will discuss with one of those opponents next. let me talk to you about retirement. a 401(k) is the most sound way to go. let's talk asset allocation. -sure. you seem knowledgeable, professional. would you trust me as your financial advisor? -i would. -i would indeed. well, let's be clear, here. i'm actually a deejay. ♪

donate a government idea to exercise or constitutionally guaranteed right to vote why do need one to buy a gun, which is also constitutionally guaranteed right? >> the problem with texas' law is any certain forms of, a conceal and carry permit, a student i.d. or a work i.d. to not qualify and the evidence presented to them back provided. won't board airplanes, who don't rely on public transportation, the evidence in this case showed there were 600,000 people disenfranchised when they put the law into effect. >> tucker: i want to get to that in a minute because that number is false. but i want to get first the principle behind this and your aim is to protect the

constitutionally guaranteed right. the voting is not the only constitutionally guaranteed right and the right to own a firearm, which has been proven by the supreme court twice has been abridged by the requirement that you show government idea in order to purchase one. wire not taking up that cause? >> were not fighting the second amendment case here. >> tucker: should be required? >> were fighting to ensure that everyone has access to democrac democracy. >> tucker: obviously, this isn't about principle. that's what i'm establishing. if you believe that the requirement to show government idea gets in the way people exercise in the constitutional rights, then you defend them across the board, but you're not. so that's the question of 600,000 people. if you don't have an i.d., the government-sponsored i.d., you cannot hold a paying job. you cannot have a checking account. you cannot have a credit card. you cannot board an airplane, he cannot stay in a hotel, even not get into many office buildings, you can't register your kids through school in a lot of places. you can't participate at all in

american society. you're telling me in the state of texas, their 600,000 people who don't have paying jobs, who don't receive any government benefits. i don't believe that. >> so expert evidence presented to the court has now found texas' voter i.d. law to be discriminatory in terms of its effect on african-american and latino voters. >> tucker: where those numbers from chemic i hear this all the time, a lot of people that don't have i.d. if you don't have a government-sponsored i.d., you cannot get but it would not government get benefits and you cannot have a job. you cannot rent a car. how did these people exist, where those numbers from? >> they are citizens from the state of texas who actually participated in voting 600,000 registered voters who are disenfranchised when this law was put into effect. >> because they didn't have their ideas with them doesn't mean they didn't have i.d.'s. so where's the evidence of there's a large number of people in any state who did not have government ids? there is no evidence of that. >> were actually beyond that

question in this case because the fifth circuit, the most conservative appeals court, federal appeals court in the country agreed with us. >> tucker: let's start with a fax because often in these stories, people in the press because they're very shallow and aren't interested in actually reading repeat the received wisdom. i want to get to the core facts of this. this whole thing is predicated on the idea that african-american and latino voters don't have government-sponsored ids. i'm asking you where the actual evidence of that? what study shows that? >> actual evidence that we put forth by our expert in this case and evidence that was before the texas state legislature when they does law on data >> tucker: what was the number? how many people in the state of texas had possessed no government i.d.? >> let's talk about the conceal and carry permit. >> tucker: let's get to the core of this. let's get to the case that you are taking sides in them, where these people, how many are there, and how do you know that? >> 600,000 registered voters

were knocked off the rolls when law was put into effect and that is an disputable fact. >> tucker: here's what's disputed by me and apparently by nobody else is that these people don't have government i.d. is who. that's what's up for dispute. it's a very different thing if you didn't bring your i.d. to the polling places. very different from not having it at all. there's no evidence at all that there are large numbers of adult voting age americans who don't have government i.d. that doesn't exist. you have a corn back counter fact to bring out to that? >> argument in this case is not all african-americans and latin americans and poor people in elderly are without i.d.. 600,000, it's an indisputable fact. >> tucker: not only is a disputed fact, it's not true. it doesn't show. it doesn't show that they don't have ideas. we don't have evidence for that and i'm just saying a lot of people feel like there is voter fraud. we don't know how much because a lot of states don't require i.d. >> we do. at the time that the law was put into effect in 2011, data showed

that for ten years leading up to the adoption of the law, there were only two instances of alleged vote fraud in the state of texas out of over 20 million vote passed. >> tucker: if we don't require government i.d. in order to vote who, how exactly do we know the extent of voter fraud? i'll answer myself, we don't. >> we know that vote fraud doesn't exist. study after study. >> tucker: how do we know that if we don't require i.d. after we checked? >> it's actually a bipartisan agreement that vote fraud is a myth. >> tucker: there are a lot of republicans that say silly things. >> even paul ryan and himself admitted last month that these claims about vote fraud are overstated and baseless. >> tucker: that's paul ryan. we don't really know. thank you so much, things were joining us. up next, bring in the second part of drugs a look at the american opioid epidemic. president trump says he wants to confront it. his pick for the fda as a pawn

of drug companies. will try to get to the bottom of that. the band dragged off the united airlines flight, you won't believe the one actor blamed for the incident. i'll give you a hint, not people who actually did

>> tucker: now to part two of our week long series drugs. many of which appear to play a key role in the opioid crisis. clay county kentucky is one of the poorest places in america, the unemployment rate is nearly 10%. despite the property, local pharmacies are thriving. populan choose between 11 different pharmacies. many of which seem to make their money primarily by selling prescription painkillers. opioid addiction rates are heavily related with availability. in america by contrast, anyone who can pick up opioid painkillers. easy access to highly addictive

drugs at no cost leads to the exact outcome we would expect. medicaid beneficiaries are twice as likely to have opioid prescriptions as the general population that they are three to six times more likely to overdose onhem. in clay county, the consequences have been a disaster. there are just over 20,000 people living in the county but last year the pharmacies have it dispense nearly 6,000 units of oxycodone, that's nearly 140 doses of synthetic heroin for every man, woman, and a child of her every year. you wouldn't want to find out. remarkably, numbers like these have not yet it inspired serious action from washington. despite nearly a dozen federal agencies that deal with drugs and addiction, almost all policy action is happening on the state level if it's happening at all. >> tucker: dr. andrew is

codirector of opioid policy abuse at brandeis university. he joins us now, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me and thank you for devoting a weeklong series to the opioid addiction epidemic. a >> tucker: i don't think the country has received anything like this. the number of emails we've seen from middle-class parents whose kids are in jail or have died. the states are working on solutions but what can the federal government do about this? >> that's a great question. there is quite a bit of the federal can do. unfortunately, president obama really neglected the opioid addiction epidemic until his last year in office when he started to do many of the right things, stomach. he drew attention to the fact that fueling the epidemic. one of the things he failed to do was to see that his agencies were working on in a coordinated

matter to address the epidemic. we head to the cdc calling for a much more cautious prescribing but the fda under president obama continue it to allow opioid makers to promote aggressive prescribing. i'm concerned that president trump's pick for fda commissioner's going to repeat the same terrible performance we saw under president obama's fda commissioners. >> tucker: that would be a disaster if it turned out to be true. here's a question i've never understood the answer to. if the united states if you have a prescription for opiate painkillers and a lot of people need for chronic pain a post surgery. you can pick them up at the local drugstore that's not true note all countries. in a lot of countries you have to go to the hospital to pick them up. with that change make a difference do you think? >> one of the changes we need is much more cautious prescribing. opioid are essential medicines for end-of-life care and they also play an important role after major surgery and the

serious accidents. the bulk of the prescribing in the united states is for common chronic conditions were opiates may not be safe or effective. we have about 12 millions of americans on opioids chronically, so many americans we are seeing ads on television to treat the side effects of opioid. what we need is much more cautious prescribing, we want doctors to weigh risks versus benefits better when they prescribing opioids. >> tucker: that is a change it wasn't always true that drug companies could advertise directly on television. do you think that companies that make opioid painkillers ought to be advertising them directly to patients? why not to doctors? >> with opioids the problem has been marketing to physicians, you haven't seen there's been almost a proposed moratorium for

narcotic manufacturers. what caused the epidemic that we are dealing with today has been a sharp increase in prescribing which was a result in a multifaceted campaign underwritten largely by pharma the major of oxycontin. what that campaign it did was it to minimize the risk of opioids like the risk of addiction and exaggerated the benefits of using opioids long term. the medical community began to hear that we had been allowing patients to suffer needlessly because of an fear of addiction, that's a compassionate way to treat just about any complaint of pain. it led to a public health catastrophe print >> tucker: i've noticed it just seems like a legal drug dealing to me. thanks a lot for coming on tonight. up next, students at one university say they don't want to want to check fillet on because it would make them feel unsafe. because they're going to starve to death when it closes on sunday? sunday? could there be the following ad is being condensed for your viewing convenience.
