please remember the spin stops here, because we are looking out for you. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." forget the explosion of a single tomahawk missile today. the u.s. dropped the mother of all bombs, that is literally its name. the most powerful explosion ever, the weapons used -- there are a lot, in contrast to the previous one. watch. >> everyone knows exactly what happened. what i do is i authorize my military. we have the greatest military in the world. we have done its job as usual.l. we've given them total authorization. and that's what they are doing. that's why they've been so successful lately.

compared to what has happened over the last eight weeks and what is happened over the last eight years, you will see a tremendousas difference. >> tucker: what does it mean to deploy a missile of the size? michael, usually we start this show with a debate of sorts but this story is still unfolding. we thought it would be useful to find out the facts.or first, why now? did they deploy this today? >> thank you for having me. one of the reasons it has been deployed now is isis is starting to use a complex that al qaeda is using. the same tunnel complex -- you see these organizations like al qaeda, now isis using a tunnel complex to kill americans in the past, this is on the heels of the recent death of a

special forces soldier. it's an effective weapon.. it's used in canyons and cave complexes, it's a massive weapon and really hard to go on precision strikes when you have so many --ucker: give us a sensf the scale of the cave complex you are talking about. >> it goes from bora bora to the was dropped in, a series of caves that have not been destroyed. in 2001 and 2002, we basically were using explosions that would kill anybody in sight. this is used as an area denial weapon. what's important about this is isis was recently -- >> tucker: you keep the enemy from using the complex because it destroys the complex? >> it's a concussion that will actually hurt a lot of the tunnels, the deeper tunnels we don't know.

people in the taliban -- especially since it's on the heels of the attack of the special forces operatives. 2-4 days later, we are o droppig the mother of all bombs in afghanistan against a tele- complex that isis is starting to use. >> tucker: it sounds like this complex has been here. the president said today that this action is a departure from the previous policies under president obama. why was this complex allowed to exist for all these years? >> it always happens in afghanistan every year, you expect an uptick in violence. they bring in weapons. >> tucker: why did they drop a similar ordinance on it, the previous administration? >> i think the symbolism of this weapon, you basically have a

mushroom cloud in afghanistan. the past administration was more focused on pushing the fight with the afghans. a the afghan military on the ground, working with our special operators, is really happy to have this in their arsenal now. >> tucker: what does it do? >> you have stopped the permissive environment that isis has been enjoying in this area. the taliban as well. >> tucker: how large an area is changed? >> a one-mile circumference. it just levels everything on the ground. it rubbles things. they are still blocked, the tunnels, they are leveled in this case. it also makes it a place where a taliban fighter probably doesn't want to go anytime soon. an unclassified number of bombs is 15. we still have 14 more to use. we don't know how many were we have. >> tucker: 15 total in the u.s. arsenal?

>> that the unclassified number. if it's used on the right target. we would not use this on mosul. this is to deny enemy use of terrain, and in this area they were using this cave complex to funnel lethal aid in to fight american fighters. >> tucker: is this on the fight against isis? >> second and third order effects being very strategic. it's a message to tehran, damascus, and moscow. it complements the tactical use of this complex. >> tucker: what message does this send to the foreign nationals?s? >> the next four years will be different than the last eight. he has delegated those decisions

down to commanders on the ground.ht he is let experienced officers in general know the second and third order effects of using a bomb like this, to make these decisions. that sends a message that that's military, it sends a message to our afghan partners and our adversaries that this commander-in-chief will listen to his smart generals. >> tucker: please don't think we are overstating this, is this a big significance today? >> it's important to stop this. we have known about this for years.s.o you have to do something about it. you have to negate this terrainr it's significant, it's the right weapon to use but detests strategic ramifications. >> tucker: michael, thank you r for that. it's been one week since the united states obliterated parts of the syrian air base with 50 tomahawk missiles. the president hasn't taken any further action against president

bashar assad. one person believes he must leave, he must leave the country. he's not even convinced that assad was behind the chemical attacks. c congressman thomas massie ofsa kentucky. thanks for coming on. state your position for us. you don't think assad was behind the chemical attack? >> the first casualty of war, we're going to have four versions of the story coming forward, we are going to have the u.s. version, the russian version, assad's version and then there's going to be the truth in there. we haven't been provided the details and i think it's incumbent for -- at least for congress.

when they gave us classified briefings, when they hador everyone convinced assad had used chemical weapons, they were not able to tell us to believe with sufficient evidence that assad did it and that we should get involved. >> tucker: two things jump out at me based on what you just said. one, you listed t the united states alongside russia and the syrian government, as equal believability. and you are a sitting united states congressman and you haven't seen evidence that convinces you. you're not in a position to demand that evidence? >> let me tell you what. it's not equal believability, obviously we are way more believable than russia or assad but what i am telling you is that it's going to be hard to find the truth now that we've already done the attacks andfi frankly, our government has no interest in finding evidence contrary to the popular notion right now in the u.s. media that

assad has done it and that should not be questioned. >> tucker: there certainly the feeling that it should be questioned but again, i want to get back to your position as a sitting member of congress. the assumption is you are privyi to the information the rest of us aren't. are you confident that you are not able to get that information? you can just call up the cia or another intelligence agency and say i want the information? what would they say if you did? >> they probably would not provide it to an individual member of congress but we wouldn't do that on a phone linn anyway. i would have to go to d.c. and get in that way. >> tucker: the information that you saw, the intelligence that was classified did not convince you? can you characterize it for us? >> that was in 2013. in 2013, the reason it was

classified was they did not want to disclose their intelligence gathering methods and that's tfair. but i think there is some obligation to show something seeinghan what we are than the news clips, to the public in fact. >> tucker: the leaders of the republican party and leaders of the democratic party seem convinced -- what did they knoww that you don't know or are they just more trusting? >> they could be both. they could know things i don't know and they could be trusting but the burden of proof here should be at least as high as it is as say, a murder case, we are trying assad for war crimes inin the 24-hour news cycle right now. i'm not defending him. i am saying where's the evidence other than the news reels that are coming out? >> tucker: if you can speculate, why aren't members of congress -- more of them, taking your

position? >> good question, we are sending letters to president trump and we are sending a letter to paul ryan. that position is regardless of what you believe and what then appropriate response should be, this needs to be debated in congress. that is why we are sending those letters right now. ultimately you can debate the war powers resolution, the constitution, but at some point, somebody has to pay for $100 million of tomahawk missiles and any escalation that could happen and frankly, we've all got people in our districtsl that are put in the line of duty or go to war because of this act of war. this needs to come before congress. that is the position that my colleagues are taking right now. >> tucker: your district more than most. i don't think it'll be something nancy pelosi's will be facing anytime soon. thank you for joining us

congressman. two days ago sean spicer was denounced as a holocaust denier for claiming unlike al-assad, even hitler didn't use chemical weapons. media outlets said he wanted to be fired for such a statement that wasn't simply wrong but immoral and an indication of bad character. also unprecedented. no one's ever said that before. perhaps you remember this?io this is chris matthews bloviating about the first syrian chemical attack back in the summer of 2013. >> he basically put down a red line and say don't use chemical weapons. it's been enforced in the western community, we didn't use them in world war ii. hitler didn't use them. >> tucker: whoa, weirdly, no one at msnbc news mentioned chris matthews after denouncing sean spicer for saying the exact same thing.

nor did they run this piece which made the following observation. here it is... we will wait for nancy pelosi to call for his and chris matthews firing. don't hold your breath. united airlines humiliation grows ever deeper. the passenger reveals his plan to sue. up next, we will hear from the man's daughter. we will tell you about his injuries, which were profound. being investigated for a gruesome quadruple homicide in rhode island, it's not isis. but it could be a bigger threat to you and your family, we will tell you who it is. we will tell you who it is

them 18, one 16 and one 20. their bodies were found in long island. not far from where the bodies of two 16-year-old girls were found. the team suffered similar horrific death. i dozens expected ms-13 members have been arrested and charged in those killings. including ten illegal immigrants. in fact investigators say the recent uptick in violence is related to the arrival of ms-13 members from central america. while the getting started here in los angeles and has chapters across the country, theirca presence appears to be growing on long island. >> we are under no illusion that ms-13 is still operating in suffolk county. no doubt we've made tremendous progress, we've solved several murders and made hundreds ofti arrests but this is a long-term war.

>> a long-term war with a revolving door, this week and ms-13 member who has been deported four times was arrested for sexually assaulting a 2-year-old h girl. and it's stopping to women including the child's mother. the suspect is now facing life in prison. we should note the messages of ms-13 are so violent, they have been heavily recruited by mexico's drug cartel as enforcers. tucker. >> tucker: thanks a lot, trace. isis is the new global standard for awful.and they are awful. the chattanooga terror attack, san bernardino, 16 deaths in just the past three years here in the u.s. on the other hand, it's nothing compared to ms-13. that organization, a mostly immigrant street gang, is a far greater threat than isis. it's not just the body pile up has smaller numbers, often they are not. besides the four killings you

heard about in new york today, the lynchburg teenager apparently murdered and left by the side of the road two weeks ago -- was killed by ms-13 members. all here illegally. and the two girls in long island who were butchered by machetes. we could go on and on, and we will -- in future editions of the show. members have been caught running child prostitution rings, they've been contacted by mexican drug cartels, and of course they engage in the usual extortion, drug trafficking -- unlike isis, ms-13 makes it hard to live in neighborhoods here in this country. true active isis members -- pretty small, maybe a few hundred. ms-13 by contrast has approximately 6,000 members in this country. and supported by more than 30,000 abroad.

said it was bringing unwanted attention to the city and risking millions of o city dollars. they voted last night to revert back to merely being a welcomina steady instead of a sanctuary city. an economist and writer, published a piece saying americans ought to toughen up and accept immigration because it "biggens" the economy. the word is on the simpsons but we are going to use it on our show. all valid questions, to be answered by ray keating who joins us now. >> "biggens," i love it. >> tucker: we are rolling with it. the underlying assumption is that all immigrants are the

same. when in fact they are not. the value of a software engineer is different from a laborer. henry ford is different from members of ms-13. it depends on upon the decisions you make. >> bringing entrepreneurs in,, immigrants tend to be more entrepreneurial than nativeborn, young immigrants help us in terms of people getting older,eb baby boomers retiring, there are people at varying skill levels that are largely complementary to the existing labor force. that helps everybody. that brings an increase in productivity. any economist is going to say there are obviously costs but the letter we signed, immigration is a net economic part of the country. that's one of the few issues that economist actually agree

on. >> tucker: i don't think that's an economic statement.he that's a political statement. it's a menial statement. an economic benefit doesn't mean anything. there are a lot of people who lose and they are voters and citizens and they are being hurt by a policy that helps another and i would argue smaller number of people. it's meaningless. >> actually, it's not. it's standard economics 101. i don't want you to fall into that zero-sum idea. we only have so many jobs to go around. what we need its economic growth and that's what happens in the economy. this whole immigration debate is very frustrating from an economic point of point. i would rather see a growth agenda so that we are growing so robustly that we need workersro from all around the world to come here.

that's what we should be focused on if we are really concerned about the economy. >> tucker: that's not an economist perspective, i appreciate the subtle patronizing as an economist. it's much poorer than it was 30 years ago. >> one of the key edges we have is our entrepreneurial dna, if you will. immigrants tend to be risk takers, you left your country, you came here, that's a risky endeavor. that's why we see a higher rate of entrepreneurship among immigrants. >> tucker: didn't you just say as an economist and now you are talking about the dna of entrepreneurship? you're moving into theology very rapidly. >> am i not allowed to use some nice language? i'd want to be boring about it. >> tucker: we always welcome theologians on the show. not when they pose as an economist. there's no way to quantifiably measure --

>> scientists just did a study -- they did a study a few years ago with the george w bush institution, maybe pick up a economics 101 book as well. >> tucker: let me ask you this. i can see -- part of what you're saying is there a lot of energetic, smart immigrants. my business partner is one of them. i love them. there also a lot of immigrants who consume more in goods and services than they pay back. there's no disputing it and you know it. why not make an affirmative effort to import people with existing skills it and wealth, and then we can be much richer? >> why don't we have start up visas like countries do?lt that gets entrepreneurial immigrants into the country. economic common sense can take

hold and we can do some positive things on the economic growth in terms of immigration. the idea of focusing on -- theit notion that we are blaming immigrants for our current problems, barack obama was great at stopping immigration because our economy was so bad we actually leveled off and peoples went back to mexico. >> tucker: we are veering from economics to value judgment. it's not a method of blaming. you are not asking my core question. why would a postindustrial economy such as ours continue to import people on the basis of family relations and physical proximity? if you live close but have noeo skills or education or money, you can get here. if you have relatives, same thing. why don't we shut down that and just import software engineers? >> we need people up and down the spectrum. i live on long island. i would drive past the convenience store, and they were

be people waiting around to do work that nativeborn people didn't want to do. let's agree, the key is to give back to an economic growth agenda that you and i agree on. tax reform, tax relief, regulatory relief, let's get th economy growing again and this immigration issue is going to go away -- we are going to get to the point where we say listen, how do we get people into this country? >> tucker: i've been listening to that kind of rhetoric for 35 years, cutting tax rates and everything will be fine. but i actually don't buy that. >> we can talk culture too but i thought that was theology, not economics. >> tucker: up next, heroin was invented almost 150 years ago yet its use has exploded recently. our next guest says the culprit is capitalism. not drug laws or pharmaceutical companies.

in a short period, the inevitable happened. people looking for pain relief became drug addicts. overdoses spiked. signed into law by woodrow wilson, the act threatened jail time for doctors who gave opioids to drug addicts.s. this law controlled the problem. that was before oxycontin. the regulatory framework that worked a century ago is not adequate to address the problem of prescription painkillers. a government that was acted to protect its citizens from narcotics now subsidizes addiction. through medicaid and the va. companies have made billions, meanwhile drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as the main death among young people. that's never happened before in american history.

some have argued the real problem here is demand. americans want drugs and you can't blame that on the suppliers, whether they are mexicans cartels or legal drugd. companies. keep in mind that people who buy opiates don't function like normal consumers. opioids are physically addictive, they challenge the notion of free will.e addicts are not choosing to use, they simply can't stop. years ago, congress saved livesh by clamping down on the supply of opiates. it works and there is evidence it can again. the cofounder of "compassion for addiction," he says the culprit in the question of opioid addiction is not the drug companies or congress but instead the system itself, capitalism. he joins us now. doctor, thanks a lot for comings on. we are doing a serious for a week this question. this alternative ways in here, i

want to remain open-minded. as i understand, your contention is that drugs and alcohol, even heroin, are not inherently addictive. but they only become a problem because the society in which they are used? >> that's not exactly what i say but thank you for having me come up first of all. thank you for doing this series. what i'm saying is that all drug use, is about people soothing pain, these are powerful painkillers and companies -- they are very happy to prescribe opiates to people. these drugs don't only sooth physical pain but emotional pain. what i'm saying about addictions of all kind is that they are rooted first of all in emotional pain and particularly in trauma. the question is what conditions traumatize people? what conditions traumatize people are family violence, multigenerational traumaat history, abusive situations in childhood but also extraordinary stress on the parents who leave the children without emotional

support and as a result in our society right now, both in your countryt and my country, canad, a lot more people are getting addicted. in your country it has gone up fivefold in the last ten years. >> tucker: i think what most ofo what you are saying is true. >> so many people are in pain, that's my point. >> tucker: let me ask you this question, however. if you flood a community with a physically addictive substance, like opiates -- as is alcohol as you know, you are more likely to have a higher percentage addicted. why when you have more heroin addicts? >> as an american judge said, you can no more repeal the law of supply and demand and gravity. wire summary people in so much emotional pain? not just drugs by the way but

also alcohol for sure. b cigarettes are killing people much more f lethally than opiats are. people are addicted to gambling, shopping, sex, these are addictive patterns. rooted in emotional pain and trauma. if we want to deal with these questions of addiction, what is traumatizing so many people? in your very excellent series, you talked about a county in kentucky. one of the poorest counties in the state where there are a lot of opiate addictions. don't you think the poverty and loss of jobs and the loss of hope and connection has a lot to do with my people are addicted? >> tucker: it's self-evident that that's true. here's the point i would dispute. a lot of what you said is true but not all addictions are the same in their effects, there's a weird kind of relativism -- smoking is totally bad for your

health but itiv doesn't cause yu to neglect your children or lose your job or beat your wife. other addictions do. >> no, they don't. >> tucker: heroin is an imminent threat to your life. it can make you incapable of going to work. of course it does. >> in vancouver, let me tell you a fact. in international studies iner germany and switzerland and in the u.k. and in canada, we have actually had clinics that prescribe heroin -- they hold down jobs, they are good with their families. and they don't break the law. what creates the problem with heroin addiction is mostly the arbitrary laws that say it's not okay to use heroin but it's okay to kill yourself with cigarettes andot by the way, alcohol as you know causes a lot of violence much more than heroin does. >> tucker: you're not going to hear me defending alcohol. there's a lot wrong with that comparison but of course we are
